AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
1000 AM CST TUE NOV 23 2004

.DISCUSSION...
UPDATE ON THE WAY THIS MORNING...
RAINFALL HAS JUST ABOUT ENDED FOR THE TIME BEING ACROSS THE CWA BUT
PRECIPITATION LIKELY TO RETURN LATER ON. RUC20 CONTINUES TO SUPPORT
THE IDEA OF BRINGING THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION LATER IN THE
DAY...STARTING OVER THE SOUTHWEST AND EVENTUALLY SPREADING OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWA. WILL NEED TO ADJUST THE POPS ACCORDINGLY.

PRECIP STILL LIKELY TONIGHT AS UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER NEW MEXICO
BEGINS TO LIFT OUT. TEMPERATURE FORECAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUITE
TRICKY BUT FOR NOW WILL LEAVE ALL OVER FORECAST PARAMETERS IN PLACE.
