.DISCUSSION...
ONSET OF TSTMS ERY THIS MRNG IS TURNING OUT VERY CLOSE TO WHAT WE
EXPCTD 24 HRS AGO WITH VERY SHARP INSTBLTY GRADNT WITH GOOD WAA AND
THETA E ADVCTN SPRDG INTO AREA. NAM12...OK ETA12 BUT BYE BYE...CONTS
TO SHOW A GOOD HANDL ON THE SHORT TERM. IT SUGGESTS A SECOND BAND OF
STORMS DVLPG SHRTLY BHND BAND CURNTLY MOVG OVER FSD. MEANWHILE
GREATEST CONCENTRATN NEXT FEW HRS SHUD BE UP N FROM HON TO BKX. FOR
PD STARTG AT 12Z WILL GO WITH LIKELY N AND E TO CHC/SLGT CHC SW.
ACTVTY SHUD MOVE OUT LATE THIS MRNG BUT WILL NOT DCRS POPS QUITE
THAT FAST AS SOME FRTHR DVLPMNT SEEMS LIKELY THIS AFTN. THIS ACTVTY
WILL NOT BE AS WDSPRD AS CURNT STORMS AND MORE OVER ERN HALF OF FCST
AREA. ALSO WITH LESSER WAA AND INSTBLTY/THETA E GRADNT AVBL...ACTVTY
WILL PRBLY HAVE A LTL LESS PUNCH OVER FAR ERN SD THAN CURNT STORMS
WHICH ARE PRODUCING SPOTTY MARGINAL SVR HAIL.  HWVR SWRN MN AND NWRN
IA WILL HAVE ADDED BENEFIT OF DECENT HEATG COINCIDING WITH FNT MOVG
OVER AREA...SO CURNT SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK IN GNRL LOOKS OK. A LOT WILL
DEPEND ON HOW SFC/LO LVL SYS BEHAVES WITH RESPECT TO WIND FIELDS.

TEMPS OF COURSE A LTL VOLATILE TDA BUT WILL FAVOR SOME DECENT HEATG
ESPLY SRN/SERN FCST AREA...MORE TWRDS MET GUIDNCE THAN FWC...THO I
GUESS ITS BYE BYE TO MET GUIDNCE ALSO WITH ETA DEMISE.

LINGRNG TSTMS ERN PART OF FCST AREA THIS EVE SHUD END TNGT. FOR REST
OF FCST...CHC TSTMS WED AFTN/NGT MAINLY SRN PART OF AREA IS KEPT. BY
NAM LOOKS LIKE WE CUD GET RID OF THEM BUT NAM MAY BRING TOO STG A
PUNCH OF DRY AND STABLE AIR INTO FCST AREA...A LTL MORE RDGNG THAN
MODEL FCSTS CUD TAKE CARE OF THAT. A BETTER CHC SEEMS IN STORE FOR
LATE FRI AND FRI NGT AS NEXT SYS ARRIVES. WILL CONT TO GETR RID OF
PCPN FOR SAT ON INTO ERY NEXT WEEK IN LINE WITH GFS...BUT THIS IS A
CLOSE CALL AS A LTL BETTER DIGGING OF SHRTWV FRTHR W CUD EXTEND
THREAT INTO THE WEEKEND.

GNLY SEASONAL TEMPS EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEK. SOME COOLING ON TAP FOR
WEEKEND INTO ERY NEXT WEEK ASSUMING MODELS ARENT GREATLY UNDERDOING
CNTRL PLAINS RDGNG. PLENTY OF DOUBT BASED ON RECENT MODEL
PERFORMANCE IN EXTENDED PD BUT SINCE THIS IDES FITS FCST WE HAVE HAD
GOING...WILL GO WITH THE LTL CHANGE IN EXTENDED FCST IDEA.
