DEEP UPPER TROUGH IS CARVED OUT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FOR THE
END OF THE WORKWEEK...WITH A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM ROTATING AROUND
THE UPPER TROUGH. THE UPPER TROUGH THEN LIFTS OUT OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE NAM IS THE OUTLIER AS IT TRIES TO PHASE THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM INTO
THE UPPER TROUGH...WHICH ALLOWS SUCH SHARPENING OF THE UPPER FLOW
THAT ONE MAIN SURFACE LOW TRACKS UP WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS...
GIVING RAIN FOR ALL THE AREA UNTIL THE TYPICAL WRAPAROUND.  PREFER
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MODELS...GFS... ECMWF...CANADIAN...ETC IN
HAVING ONE WEAKER SURFACE WAVE RIDE UP ALONG THE APPALACHIANS WITH
THE EJECTING WEAKENING SOUTHERN SYSTEM FRIDAY...THEN HAVING THE MAIN
SURFACE LOW TRACK UP JUST EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE
MAIN UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS

LOW TRAVELING TO OUR S SUN NGT INTO MON.  DIFFICULT TO TIME...YET
ALONE DETERMINE THE EXACT TRACK OF THE CYCLONE...SO ROLLED WITH
SMALL POPS FOR THE TIME BEING.  GIVEN THE CURRENT TRACK...SRN COAL
FIELDS RESIDE IN A FAVORABLE SPOT FOR SN ACCUM.  HWVR...IF LOW DOES
