SCATTERED NATURE OF LINE OF STORMS. DRYLINE OTHERWISE MOVES WEST
TO EAST THROUGH KABI AND KSJT FRIDAY MORNING...AND EARLY
AFTERNOON THROUGH KBBD AND KJCT. THIS ENDS RAINFALL
CHANCES...STRATUS...AND SHIFTS WINDS TO THE WEST.

NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY DEVELOP INTO A
LINEAR MCS AND TRACK EAST ACROSS THE AREA. A 35 TO 45 KNOT LLJ IS

THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. SBCAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 J/KG...0-6

THE POP GRIDS...SHOWING DECREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN FROM WEST TO
EAST THROUGH THE DAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT
ON HOW FAST THE CONVECTION MOVES EAST OF THE AREA AND HOW MUCH
RAINFALL IS RECEIVED. FOR NOW...LOWERED HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
FRIDAY...WITH LOWEST READINGS EAST...WHERE CONVECTION WILL LINGER
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
