100 PM CDT FRI JUN 17 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1123 AM CDT FRI JUN 17 2011
MINOR TWEAKS TO THE FORECAST TO COVER FOR THE PRECIP SHIELD AND
WEATHER ADVANCING FROM THE WEST. STILL CONCERN FOR AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH IMPRESSIVE LAPSE RATES ON 12Z SOUNDING. THAT

AFTERNOON CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT THIS EVENING.

CURRENT THREAT FOR THE SHORT TERM IS MOSTLY A -RA AND VCTS THREAT
FOR MOST OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH 00Z. WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH
THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING...BRINGING AN ADDITIONAL THREAT FOR TS
THROUGH THE EVENING...BUT THE LOW CONFIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LOCATION OF THE SFC FRONT IN THE WAKE OF THIS MCS RESULTS IN A
SIMPLE VC MENTION FOR NOW. WARM FRONT IN CONCERT WITH SHOWERS AND
OVERNIGHT WILL ALSO BRING A REDUCED VISBY THREAT WITH LOW CIGS IN
THE OVERNIGHT. LOWEST FLIGHT CATS EXPECTED FOR SPI AND DEC...AND
