ANOTHER ACTIVE AFTERNOON AS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED STATE WIDE AGAIN.  EXPECT THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...HOWEVER SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH
AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

AS FAR AS THE NEXT FEW DAYS...EXPECT MUCH OF THE SAME...HOWEVER WITH
TIME THE UPR LVL RDG IS PROGD TO BECOME SQUASHED UNDER A SERIES OF
WVS MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW NORTH OF THE AREA.  AS THIS HAPPENS MID
AND UPR LVL FLOW PATTERN TO BECOME MORE NORTHEASTERLY AND WITH TIME
LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASING DWPTS.  SO NOT REAL
CHANGES EXPECTED THROUGH THE EXTENDED FROM WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN
EACH AFTERNOON.  THE EAST MAY BEGIN TO SEE A SLIGHT DECREASE IN
ACTIVITY AS WITH TIME THE STEERING FLOW WILL TAKE THUNDERSTORMS AWAY
FROM THAT AREA RATHER THAN INTO IT. HAVE REFLECTED THIS IN THE
ZONES.
