SCATTERED STORMS TO THE NORTH MAY IMPACT EARLY 1ST PERIOD, DEPENDING
ON TRENDS NEXT FEW HOURS. OTHERWISE, EXPECT WESTERN ZONES TO MIX OUT
THIS AFTERNOON, LEAVING A SLIGHT CHANCE EAST. TONIGHT, MID LEVEL
WARM AIR WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD OUT OF THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS AND
RESULT IN INCREASING CIN ON SATURDAY. A WEAK FRONT IS PROGGED INTO
NORTHERN ZONES SATURDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE
PLAINS. QUESTION WILL BE DEGREE OF CIN. WILL WAIT FOR DAY 2 INPUT
BEFORE DECIDING ON SATURDAY, BUT INITIAL FEELING IS SLIGHT CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON STORMS NORTH. SUNDAY LOOKS DRY MOST AREAS AS SURFACE TROF
AND DRYLINE PUSH EAST. AGAIN, QUITE WARM ALOFT SUCH THAT ANY AREAS
ALONG OR EAST OF A DRYLINE MAY BE CAPPED.
