NORMAL AND INTO RECORD TERRITORY.  NAM PRINTED OUT A 3.23 PWAT IN
SWRN IA TNGT...THOUGH TOO HIGH DO FEEL THE 2.5 RANGE IS LKLY.
COMBINATION OF SEVERAL SFC BOUNDARIES WILL AID IN THE INIT DVLPMT OF
THE TSRA.  FIRST FOCUS...AND POTENTIALLY SVR...WILL BE OVR NRN IA
WHERE BNDRY IS PRESENT EAST OF SFC LOW SW OF KSUX.  WEAK FLO ALF AND
SWD DRIFT PRESENT IN CORFIDI VECTORS WILL ALLOW MCS TO SINK WITH
POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAINFALL TNGT.  MDLS HAVE BEEN ON TRACK

WEAK SHORTWAVES THROUGH THE CWA ATOP THE CENTRAL US UPPER RIDGE. MAY
SEE SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY/CLOUDS ACROSS THE CWA IN THE MORNING.
THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP TEMPS AT BAY SOMEWHAT WHICH WOULD LEAD TO
MAINLY ADVISORY CRITERIA HEAT INDICES BY MONDAY AFTERNOON VERSUS

FOR THE SOUTHWESTERN CWA...UNTIL MIDNIGHT SHIFT HAS A BETTER IDEA TO
ASSESS THE SITUATION. OTHERWISE...BOUNDARY TO PUSH FURTHER NORTH

FRONT MOVES THROUGH HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/THURSDAY...SO EXPECT A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES. OTHERWISE HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY WITH A WARM FRONT MOVING NORTH. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF PRECIP/HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS
AGAIN. STRONGER COLD FRONT TO THEN DROP THROUGH THE CWA SATURDAY
NIGHT...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR A PRETTY DECENT COOL DOWN AS H85
