.DISCUSSION...
VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS CU/CONVECTIVE FIELDS JUST EAST OF THE
LAKES...ALONG 925-850 MB WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND ANOTHER MORE
ISOLD FIELD IN SEMO LEE OF CROWLEYS RIDGE. WE EXPECT THESE DIURNALLY
FUELED AREAS TO GENERALLY DIMINISH AFTER THEIR LOSS OF FUEL. WE LIKE
THE NAM DEPICTION OF THE NEAR TERM CONVECTION/QPF AREAS...AND SO WL
CONTINUE AN EVENING MENTION FOR THE SEMO/WRN PTNS FA ON THE WRAP
AROUND FLOW AS IT HINTS IT MAY TAKE A TAD LONGER TO EXPIRE THERE.

AFTER THAT THE WARM SOUPY WRAP AROUND THE HIGH RETURN FLOW
ENTRENCHES ALL THE FA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH THE RESULTANT
DAILY CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA...WHICH WL BE ESP DIURNALLY AIDED BUT NOT
NECESSARILY EXCLUSIVELY. MODELS STILL SUGGEST A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
POPS IS WARRANTED AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES. POPS SHOULD PEAK
IMMEDIATELY ALONG/AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...WHICH FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE
OF RUNS NOW THE GFS SUGGESTS WL BE WED...WITH TAPERING WEST TO EAST
POPS ON THU AS THE SYSTEM PASSES. ALSO AN INCREASINGLY CONSISTENT
SIGNAL IS THE UPPER PATTERN SHIFT TO NWLYS BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH
WL USHER IN COOLER/DRIER AIR LATE THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

WE WL KEEP OUR PREFERENCE FOR AOA MOS IN THE NEAR AND MEDIUM TERM AS
WE TOPPED OUT WITH A RECORD HIGH AT PAH TODAY. INCREASING
CLOUDS/CONVECTION SHOULD DAMPEN THE DIURNAL RANGE MID WEEK...THEN
W/POST FRONTAL WE LATCH CLOSER TO MEX MOS COOL OFF...WHICH HAS HAD
SOME RUN TO RUM CONSISTENCY IN BOTH ITS OCCURRENCE AND ITS AMPLITUDE.
