.DISCUSSION...

ONGOING CONVECTION HAS A LITTLE IC LIGHTNING DESPITE LACK OF HITS ON
CG PLOT. ITS APPARENTLY ISENTROPICALLY DRIVEN AND CONTAINS MAINLY
LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A FEW CORES INTO THE 40S
DBZ. WE WL EXPERIENCE THIS ELEVATED WARM SECTOR THREAT THIS
AM...THEN THE COLD FRONT WL COME IN THIS PM/EVENING WITH THE SLGT
RISK SVR PER SWODY1. THUS LTL CHANGE TO THE NEAR TERM FORECAST SAVE
FOR CLOUD/TEMP TWEEKS.

FROPA TONIGHT WL THEN LEAD TO A DRY MON-TUE FORECAST WITH THE NEXT
CHC PCPN COMING TUE NIGHT-WED. MOST OF THE ENERGY WITH THE MID WEEK
SYSTEM WILL BE WELL OFF TO THE NORTH AND AS SUCH SHOULD POSE A
MINIMAL PCPN CHANCE.

ANOTHER BREAK WED NIGHT-THU WL BE FOLLOWED BY A THU NIGHT-FRI CHC.
THIS CHANCE MAY POSE A LTL BETTER THREAT OF SVR WITH THE LOW IN THE
GREAT LAKES AND A MORE POTENT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...AS REFLECTED BY
COOLER MEX MOS NOS LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

SAT HIGHS WERE MUTED FROM MOS DUE TO CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS. WE WL
GO CLOSE TO MOS TODAY IN HOPES THE SAME DOESNT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE
NAM/GFS ARE SIMILAR SO WERE CLOSER TO THEIR NOS IN THE MEDIUM
TERM...WHICH IS COOLER THAN THE NGM MOS. THE LONG RANGE WE ARE MORE
IN STEP WITH THE COLLABORATIVE PICTURE/HPC BUT MADE A MOVE IN THE
DIRECTION AT LEAST OF THE NEWEST/COOLER MEX MOS.
