WILL HAVE SCATTERED POPS TONIGHT FOR CONVECTION LINGERING INTO THE EVENING HOURS THEN EXPECT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AFTER MIDNIGHT IN RESPONSE TO A FAIRLY VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE TROF. CONVECTION INCREASES DURING THE DAY AND WITH DEEP MOISTURE PRESENT...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2.25 INCHES AND SURFACE BASED CAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG...HAVE GONE WITH CATEGORICAL POPS ON THURSDAY. SREF 12HR PROBABILITIES FOR RAINFALL OF 0.25+ ARE NEAR 80-90 PERCENT NEAR THE COAST ON THURSDAY TAPERING OFF INLAND WHICH ADD TO CONFIDENCE FOR HIGHER POPS. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE REMAINS MOSTLY IN PLACE FOR FRIDAY ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED EASTWARD SLIGHTLY AS THE UPPER TROF NEARS THE AREA. WITH OTHERWISE SIMILAR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA WILL CONTINUE WITH SCATTERED POPS THURSDAY NIGHT THEN LIKELY POPS AGAIN ON FRIDAY.
