PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SH/TSRA DEVELOPMENT STARTING TO PICK UP THIS AFTERNOON BUT COVERAGE
SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN EVEN CLOSE TO THAT OF YESTERDAY. THUS..IT WOULD
SEEM THAT THE DRIER/SUBSIDENT AIRMASS IS WINNING OUT ACROSS THE FA.
OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN/SCHEMA NOT PROGGED TO CHANGE TOO MUCH FROM
THE PREVIOUS RUNS..SAVE FOR SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES WITH TIMING. THE
UPPER LOW IS STILL FORECAST TO MOVE WWD ALONG THE N/NC COAST TOWARD
OUR REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD..BUT NOW COULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH ON SUN
TO WARRANT THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF SOME LOWISH POPS STARTING AT THAT
TIMEFRAME. THE ENSUING WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER RIDGE WHICH IS PROGGED
TO EVOLVE INTO AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE WEST AND DEEP TROFFINESS
TO THE EAST SHOULD HELP KEEP A SLIGHT CHC/CHC POPS IN OUR FCST THRU
MOST OF NEXT WEEK. WILL TAKE A BLEND OF MOS FOR THE FINAL TALLY FOR
TEMPS. 41/47
