AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED PRELIM NUMBERS NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 250 AM CDT FRI JUN 14 2002 WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOW A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL HELP MOVE A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY LATE TODAY. CONSIDERING PWS REACHING NEAR TWO INCHES INLAND AND THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM YESTERDAYS CONVECTION AND SEA BREEZE INFLUENCES...WILL GO ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH LIKELY RAIN CHANCES OVER THE AREA...TAPERING OFF BY AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL STILL BE HOT BUT AS HOT AS YESTERDAY DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND MORE PROLIFIC AFTERNOON CONVECTION. THE WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE COASTAL WATERS BY LATE TONIGHT. RAIN TAPERS OFF THIS EVENING AND GRADUAL CLEARING OVER LAND BY SATURDAY MORNING LEAVING NICE WEEKEND WEATHER.

AVIATION SHOWS THE NEXT SHOT AT RAIN WILL BE EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH ARRIVAL OF SHORT WAVE SWINGING THROUGH EAST TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AROUND MAIN LONG WAVE TROUGH.
