SEE BELOW FOR AN UPDATED AVIATION FORECAST DISCUSSION.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 534 PM CDT SAT AUG 15 2015

EXTENDED THE HEAT ADVISORY IN TIME A COUPLE OF HOURS MAINLY FOR
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE ADVISORY AREA. THE COLD
FRONT IS BEGINNING TO WORK THROUGH CORSON COUNTY /WITH BASICALLY
STATIONARY PRE-FRONTAL SURFACE TROF STILL HANGING TOUGH FURTHER
EAST FROM APPX KMBG TO KPIR/ CONDITIONS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ARE
JUST A TEENY-TINY BIT COOLER...BUT MUCH DRIER...WITH HEAT INDEX
VALUES DOWN WELL BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. SEEING A COUPLE OF
CUMULUS FINE-LINES ACROSS THE REGION ON VISIBLE SATELLITE...BUT
STILL AWAITING CONVECTIVE INITIATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 256 PM CDT SAT AUG 15 2015

CONVECTION CHCS ARE THE MAIN ISSUE FOR THE SHORT RANGE.  FOR TNT LL
BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO TRUDGE EAST UNDER STOUT EML ALOFT.  MANY
CAMS SOLUTIONS STILL SUGGEST A LINE OF STORMS FORMING BY EARLY
EVENING WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER AND MOVING EAST.  GFS/ECMWF AGREE.
ODDLY ENOUGH THOUGH THE NAM HAS BACKED WAY OFF WHEN IT WAS THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE IN EARLY RUNS.  FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN CHC POPS ALONG COLD
FRONT WITH CAP WEAKENING OVER TIME.  MAIN THREAT WILL LIKELY BE
WINDS GIVEN VERY WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT.  SCT TO BROKEN LINE OF
STORMS SHOULD MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT ON THE NOSE OF THE LLJ. FOR SUNDAY
WILL MAINTAIN SOME CHANCE OVER ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN CWA WHERE
LINGERING SHOWERS OR ACCAS WILL EXIST.  SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGS ACROSS
MORE WEAK ENERGY ALOFT WITH A CHC FOR MORE RAIN...ALBEIT NOT A GREAT
CHC.  MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD PROOF TO HAVE MORE COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS/STORMS GIVEN STRONGER MID LEVEL WAVE AND MORE UPSLOPE
FLOW...PARTICULARLY OVER THE WESTERN CWA WHERE EASTERLY LLJ WILL BE
FOCUSED.  TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL LEVELS FOR BOTH
SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT.  THE AIRMASS WILL ALSO GRADUALLY
GET A BIT DRIER WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS ADVECTING IN FROM THE NORTH.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 256 PM CDT SAT AUG 15 2015

FALL LIKE TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY ON TUESDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY
CLIMBING INTO THE 60S. A FAIRLY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CROSSING
THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL SPREAD CLOUDS AND PCPN INTO THE CWA ON
TUESDAY RESULTING IN THE MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES. AS ALREADY NOTED
IN THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THERE IS LITTLE INSTABILITY IN THIS CWA
FOR THIS EVENT THUS EXPECT MOSTLY SHOWERS. THAT SAID...CONVECTIVE
PCPN IS BEING TRIGGERED IN THE GFS WHICH SUGGEST SOME THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTION OF THE
CWA. MODELS DIVERGE BEYOND THIS SYSTEM WITH THE ECMWF DROPPING THE
STORM OFF TO THE SOUTH WITH DRY LIKELY THROUGH THE REST OF THE
PERIOD. THIS WOULD ALSO MEAN WARMER TEMPERATURES AS WELL. THE GFS ON
THE OTHER HAND STRENGTHENS THE SURFACE LOW OVER MINNESOTA ON
WEDNESDAY WITH GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM CROSSES THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND STORMS POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. WITH LITTLE CONFIDENCE...WILL MAINTAIN THE MODEL
GUIDANCE GIVEN BY SUPERBLEND.
