LONG TERM...TSTM COVERAGE SUN NIGHT WILL BE LIMITED IN COMPARISON TO
TODAY SINCE LOW/MID LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXII WILL BE EAST OF OUR

SCALE LIFT AND LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. ON MON...TSTM COVERAGE WILL
BE EVEN MORE LIMITED AS MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WARM AND LOW/MID
LEVEL MOISTURE IS MINIMAL (AS EVIDENCED BY LOCATION OF LOW/MID LEVEL
THETA-E RIDGE AXII). A SHORTWAVE TROF MOVES ACROSS THE NRN ROCKIES
ON TUE WITH THE DEEPER LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE UP THERE. CANNOT RULE
OUT ISOLD-WIDELY SCATTERED TSTMS ACROSS OUR ZONES ALTHOUGH SCANT
LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIMIT COVERAGE. WED-SAT LOOK MOSTLY DRY
