.DISCUSSION...
142 AM MDT SUN APR 20 2008

FIRE WX ISSUES CONTINUE FOR TODAY ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA. NORTON
AND GRAHAM APPEAR TO REMAIN THE OUTLIERS BY MAINTAINING HIGH
ENOUGH RH VALUES DUE TO AN INFLUX OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ALONG THE
ERN FLANK OF THE CWA...ON THE COOL SIDE OF A BENIGN BAROCLINIC ZONE.
HOWEVER, A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE HOISTED FOR THESE TWO COUNTIES,
PER ISC ISSUES.

LATER TONIGHT A COLD FRONT MOVES NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA
ASSOC WITH THE PASSAGE OF A LOW AMPLITUDE S/WV TROUGH. NO PRECIP
IS ANTICIPATED ALONG OR BEHIND THE FRONT. THE FRONT WILL LOWER
MONDAYS TEMPS 15 TO 20 DEGREES OVER TODAYS HIGHS...WHICH PUTS
THE REGION BACK TO NEAR NORMAL. ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD AIR ADVECTS
INTO THE CWA MONDAY NIGHT AS A S/WV TROUGH TRANSLATES ACROSS THE
REGION, BEFORE THE PARENT PAC NW TROUGH MIGRATES NORTH INTO
CANADA. DPROG/DT OF THE NAM QPF FOR THE PAST FIVE OR SO RUNS
CONTINUES TO PAINT A FRAZ BIT OF PRECIP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
CWA, WHILE THE GFS REMAINS DRY. WILL MAINTAIN THE DRY FCST PERIOD
WHICH IS INSTEP WITH ISC.

TEMPS APPEAR SLOW TO MODIFY UNTIL THR WHEN AT/NEAR THAT TIME THE
REGION SEES RETURN FLOW IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER PAC NW UPR-LLW.
VARIOUS ENSEMBLE SUITES INDICATE HIGH TEMPS WARM BACK INTO THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 70S ON THR. I HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS UPWARD TO
REFLECT THIS CHANGE. INHERITED PRECIP CHANGES APPEAR ON TRACK.
ASIDE FROM TIMING ISSUES, A COLD FRONT ARRIVES THR NIGHT.
