AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION - UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1005 AM EDT WED AUG 6 2003

ANOTHER UPDATE TO AGAIN IMPROVE THE WX SOUTH. WEAK DYNAMICS ONLY
NORTH SUPPORT LOWERING THE POPS S. ALTHOUGH THE SOUNDING IS MUCH
DRIER THAN YDA...TEMPS STILL ARE FCST TO REACH THE CNVCTV TEMP SO I
PREFER TO GO 20 POP OR SLGT CHC S. NRN ZONES...WITH THE BETTER
DYNAMICS I WILL KEEP LIKELY EVEN THOUGH THE DYNAMICS ARE WEAK. BUT
WHEN THESE WEAK DYNAMICS ARE COMBINED WITH HEATING...THE THREAT
BECOMES MORE LIKELY. EVEN SO...SVR THREAT HAD DIMINISHED AND
PREVIOUS UPDATES AND STATEMENTS TOOK CARE OF THAT.

WITH BUOY 9 SHOWING SEAS BLO 5 FT...I WILL DROP SCA SRN AREAS TOO.

RNS
---------------------------------------
PRVS

WILL UPDATE AND TAKE OUT PCPN FOR THIS AM AS MOST OF THE LEFT OVER
PCPN FROM LAST NIGHT HAS MOVE OUT OF THE FCST AREA. WILL ALSO GO
WITH CHC POPS ALL SRN ZONES AS THE NEW MODEL RUNS SHOW MOST OF THE
DYNAMICS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS.

RNS
---------------------------------------
PRVS

BUSY NIGHT SO FAR. WILL NOT EXTEND THE FFA. AREA OF HEAVY PRECIP
SHOULD MOVE THRU IN NEXT HOUR OR SO. WILL KEEP MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN
IN MOST OF NJ AS S/W CONTINUES TO ROTATE NE.

TONIGHT IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS AS THE NEXT ONE TAKES AIM FOR LATER THIS
WEEK. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE EASES SOME LATER TODAY INTO THURSDAY BUT
SFC AND BOUDARY LAYER STAY MOIST.
