815 PM EST SUN JUN 5 2005

.UPDATE...
ZONES/GRIDS BEING UPDATED AT THIS TIME TO CLEAR OUT ALL WATCHES AND
CUT POPS TO CHC REST OF THE NIGHT. LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
HAS EXITED THE FORECAST AREA. SKIES RAPIDLY CLEARING BEHIND THE
LINE WITH THE CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
RUC MODELS HINTS AT POTENTIAL FOR SOMETHING TO REDEVELOP IN NEXT FEW
HOURS BUT NO INDICATIONS OF THIS ON RADAR/SAT. SINCE MAIN BOUNDARY
IS STILL TO THE WEST...WILL HOLD ONTO CHC POPS REST OF THE NIGHT.
SOME CONCERN SOME AREAS OF FOG COULD DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT
THINK WINDS WILL REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE ANY SIGNIFICANT
DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.AVIATION....
MCS ABOUT OUT OF FWA TERMINAL...LEFT LINGERING SHOWERS UNTIL 02Z
THERE. SURFACE COLD POOL APPEARS TOO SHALLOW TO SUPPORT CONVECTIVE
REDEVELOPMENT AS LOW LEVEL SW FLOW INCREASES...SO HAVE REMOVED
THUNDER FROM TAFS FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. COLD POOL SHOULD MIX
OUT LATER TONIGHT...SO BROUGHT WINDS AROUND TO THE SW-W OVERNIGHT
THEN INCREASING MONDAY WITH DAYTIME HEATING.

.LONG TERM...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...OVERALL...A WARM AND HUMID WEATHER
PATTERN WITH A CHANCE FOR STORMS MAINLY WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
LONGWAVE TROF WILL BECOME REESTABLISHED OVER THE WESTERN CONUS BY
LATE IN THE WEEK. CONCERN THAT COOL FRONT MAY BACKDOOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...BUT FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL KEEP THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
IN THE WARM SECTOR AS GFS/NAM BRINGS THE FRONT DOWN TO ABOUT THE
EDGE OF THE AREA BEFORE BECOMING A WARM FRONT AND LIFTING NORTH.
ALSO...GULF MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA AS A SERIES OF SHORT
WAVES EJECT EAST AND NORTHEAST OUT OF THE MAIN TROF. TIMING OF THESE
INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS LATE IN THE WEEK STILL TOO UNCERTAIN TO TRY TO
PIN DOWN AT THIS POINT...SO HAVE LEFT THE CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE
GRIDS/ZFP FOR EACH DAY LATE THIS WEEK.
