STORM CHANCES ACROSS FA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ARE LOW. 18Z SOUNDING INDICATES STRONG CAPPING INVERSION AND CONVERGENCE ALONG DRYLINE IS MUCH WEAKER THAN THURSDAY. WILL STILL MAINTAIN 20 POPS FOR 4 TO 5 HOUR PERIOD FOR THIS EVENING. LLJ WILL STRENGTHEN THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT WITH AXIS ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF FA. BETTER DYNAMICS FOR STORMS ON SATURDAY AS UPPER JET OVER NORTHERN MEXICO APPROACHES THE AREA. BELIEVE THAT FARTHER WEST POSITION OF SURFACE LOW/DRYLINE PER GFS WILL VERIFY CLOSER THAN ETA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. BOTH ETA AND GFS HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A SIGNAL FOR AN MCS TO OUR NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AS LLJ DEVELOPS. UNCERTAIN ON MESO-SCALE ISSUE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM. FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT/CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY BUT ADDITIONAL BOUNDARIES MAY COMPLICATE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GFS BUILDS UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINING TO THE NORTH. THEN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WEAKNESS OF SHEAR AXIS IN RIDGE LOOKS SIMILAR TO SETUP THAT PRODUCE DECENT RAINFALL AMOUNTS EARLIER THIS WEEK.
