300 PM MDT MON JUL 30 2001
WITH OVER AN INCH OF PRECIPITABLE WATER...I AM PLANNING TO GO WITH
30 TO 50 PCT POPS ACROSS THE WEST TONIGHT. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
AT THE LAST MINUTE THOUGH AS THERE IS LESS LIGHTNING ACROSS THE WEST
THAN I HAD EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. TEMPS OF 78 AT GUP AND GNT EXPLAIN
THE LACK OF CONVECTION.
THE OVERALL PATTERN HAS THE UPPER HIGH SHIFTING EAST AS AN UPPER
TROUGH GOES BY TO THE NORTH. THEN THE UPPER HIGH BEGINS TO EXPAND
BACK TO THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT. AS THE TROF TO THE NORTH PASSES
BY...A SFC FRONT DROPS INTO THE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY. AM GOING WITH
CHC POPS FOR EAST ON WEDNESDAY.
AS THE TROUGH PASSES BY TO THE NORTH TOMMORROW...I EXPECT SOME
DRYING ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES. THUS WILL GENERALLY HAVE 10 TO 20
POPS ACROSS THE NORTH FOR TUESDAY AND CONTINUED 30 TO 40 POPS IN THE
SOUTHERN ZONES. LONG WAVE PATTERN CONTINUES TO APPEAR STABLE. WE ARE
JUST CYCLING THROUGH A PATTERN OF TROFS DROPPING DOWN INTO THE PAC
NW AND LIFTING OUT WITH THE UPPER HIGH SLOSHING BACK AND FORTH
ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES. CLIMO FOR EXTENDED. JWS
