220 PM MDT MON JUN 25 2001
CONCERN WILL BE WITH TSRA DEVELOPMENT OVER THE TRI STATE AREA THRU
MIDWEEK.
ATTM TMPS WERE CLIMBING INTO THE 90S THIS AFTN WITH SOME HIGH
CLOUDINESS SPILLING INTO THE FA. LOW LVL MOISTURE REMAINS ABUNDANT
ACROSS THE CWA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 50S AND 60S AND A SUBTLE DRY
LINE OVER THE WESTERN FA. A 5H/VORT MAX OVER SE COLORADO WILL SLOWLY
MOVE ACROSS THE FA LATE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT. 7H/TMPS WERE COOLER
AND 5H/HGHTS WERE WEAKER THAN ALL THE MODELS...INCLUDING THE
FAVORABLE ETA...FORECAST THIS MORNING. WITH THIS IN MIND I WILL KEEP
POPS IN THE FORECAST TONITE. DESPITE 850/WINDS BETTER THAN 30KTS
ACROSS THE EASTERN FA...I BELIEVE THEY WILL DE COUPLE AND WILL KEEP
THIS AREA BELOW THE BREEZY CATEGORY. YDAY MODELS HAD A COOL FRONT
FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE N FA TUESDAY MORNING. WITH TODAYS RUN THE
FRONT NEVER MAKES IT THIS FAR SOUTH.
THE STRONG 5H/RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING MOST PORTIONS OF THE FA
DRY THRU THE WEEKEND BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN SOMEWHAT. MID LVL MOISTURE
INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA AND WITH THIS CLOUDINESS AFTN HIGHS SHUD BE
A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY.
BY MIDDAY TUESDAY THE 5H/VORT MAX EITHER WEAKNS AND/OR REDEVELOPS
OVER NE NEW MEXICO BY LATE TUESDAY AFTN. A DRY LINE...LIKE TODAY
REMAINS ACROSS THE FA AND THE CHANCES FOR TSRA SHUD PERSIST INTO
TUESDAY EVENING.
WEDNESDAY A WEAK DISTURBANCE FROM THE SW US MOVES ACROSS THE CWA.
SOME SE PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE ALSO MOVES WITH THE DISTURBANCE
AND THE CHANCES FOR TSRA SHUD INCREASE EVEN MORE WED AFTN/EVE.
PART OF THE 5H/HIGH MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND MAY
AID IN RETREATING A MID LVL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SE US
WWARD ALL THE WAY INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THURSDAY. WITH MID LVL
MOISTURE REMAINING ACROSS THE CWA THE LOW MAY ACTUALLY INFLUENCE THE
FA WEATHER AND I WILL LEAVE TSRA IN THE FORECAST. THE LOW RETREATS
EVEN FURTHER WWARD AND ENDS UP IN SE KANSAS FRIDAY.
ITS NOT UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN ANOTHER 5H/HIGH BUILDS OVER THE SW
US AND WILL INFLUENCE THE CWA WEATHER SATURDAY. MOISTURE SHUD BEGIN
TO DECREASE AND AFTN HIGHS AGAIN WILL CLIMB INTO THE 90S SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.
.GLD...NONE.
