LAPS DATA SHOWING CAPES IN THE 3000-3500 J/KG RANGE... FORTUNATELY SHEAR PROFILES ARE NOT CONDUCIVE FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WX. HOWEVER WITH VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...CANNOT RULE OUT THE CHANCE OF PULSE TYPE SEVERE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WILL HAVE HIGHEST POPS OVER NE ZONES (50%) AND THEN WILL TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT. GFS WANTS TO KEEP THE SHORTWAVE OVER THE ERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH RELATIVELY HIGH POPS...HOWEVER THE NAM MOVES IT FURTHER TO THE EAST BUT STILL KEEPS RATHER HIGHER MOISTURE LEVELS OVER LA ZONES. WILL CALL FOR DECENT CHANCE OF POPS OVER ERN ZONES WITH DECREASING CHANCES TO THE WEST INTO SE TX ZONES. MOISTURE LEVELS BEGIN TO DECREASE BY MIDWEEK INTO THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK SO LOOKS LIKE ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS IN STORE.
