.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 516 AM CST FRI FEB 11 2011/

DISCUSSION...CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE TEMPERATURES.

WE WILL REMAIN WITHIN WEST NORTHWEST FLOW WITH BROAD RIDGING TAKING
PLACE. THIS WILL CAUSE A GENERAL WARMING TREND OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF SNOW PACK IN THE SOUTH...BUT
THIS SHOULD ERODE SIGNIFICANTLY WITH DOWNSLOPING OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. LOCATIONS SUCH AS ORD HAVE ALREADY EXHIBITED A TENDENCY TO
BEAT MOS NUMBERS AND I SUSPECT THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE. MY
PREDICTED TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS ARE CONSIDERABLY ABOVE
MOS GUIDANCE...BUT I HELD BACK A BIT FOR TODAY BECAUSE OF A HINT OF
SOME SLIGHT COLD AIR ADVECTION THIS AFTERNOON ADVERTISED ESPECIALLY
ON THE GFS...WHICH WILL BE LARGELY OVERCOME BY DOWNSLOPING.

STRONG SUBSIDENCE CONTINUES TO MAKE CHANCES OF ANY PRECIPITATION
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS NEGLIGIBLE. NO CHANGES PAST SUNDAY NIGHT.
