CURRENTLY...ANOTHER DAY...ANOTHER CLEAR AND WARM START. TEMPS
QUICKLY ON THEIR WAY TOWARD THE LOWER 90S. THE ONLY ACTIVITY OF
NOTE IS JUST S OF THE MARINE WATERS...FROM WHICH BOUNDARIES MAY
PLAY A ROLE LATER TODAY.
DISC...KTBW SOUNDING STOKED ONCE AGAIN...WITH ONE SUBTLE
DIFFERENCE: THE LOWER LEVELS (THROUGH H70) WERE CONSIDERABLY DRIER
THAN ON THURSDAY. PCP WATER VALUES FOLLOW SUIT...DOWN ABOUT 0.3

WITH THE "MOST" ACTIVITY ACROSS THE S 1/3...WHERE BEST SEA BREEZE
COLLISIONS APPEAR TO BE...AND THE FAR N...WHERE DIFF DIABATIC
HEATING AND PERHAPS SOME OLD BOUNDARIES BECOME THE TRIGGER.
CERTAINLY...ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE
HAIL AND PERHAPS A WET DOWNBURST GIVEN THE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE.
CURR HWO HAS THIS MENTIONED AND PLAN NO UPDATE THIS TIME AROUND.
GIVEN THE ABOVE...ZFP POP VALUES IN GOOD SHAPE...AND WILL TAKE A
LOOK AT NOON OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER TO MODIFY THE WORDING FOR THE
COASTAL COS.
