Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 3:25 AM EST, 4 hours 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 325 AM EST WED FEB 06 2002 AGAIN NO REAL PROBLEMS TO SPEAK OF IN THE SHORT TERM THIS FCST CYCLE. HI CLOUDS SPREAD OVER MOST OF THE CWA AND WILL HANG AROUND MOST OF THE DAY. WITH THOSE CLOUDS AND A LITTLE BIT OF COLD ADVECTION AT 850 MIGHT PREVENT US FROM REACHING THE HI THE FWC HAS OUTPUT SO WENT A FEW DEGREES COOLER BUT NOT AS COOL AS THE MAV. KEPT MENTION OF FLURRIES TONIGHT FOR THE FAR SOUTH AS SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GULF STATES WILL KEEP THAT AREA UNDER CLOUDS AND SOME WEAK FORCING. THE BULK OF THE DYNAMICS STAY FAR TO THE SOUTH THOUGH SO NO SIGNIFICANT PCPN EXPECTED FOR ANY PART OF THE CWA IN THE NEAR TERM. .IND...NONE. SALLY
