A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE. THE PWAT ON YESTERDAY'S  
KDDC RAOB WAS 1.43". SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE RUNNING IN THE MID 60S  
FOR THE FA. AS A RESULT, SOME PATCHY MORNING FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE  
THROUGH MID MORNING. IN ADDITION, WATCHING SOME STORMS OVER EASTERN  
COLORADO THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY MAY DRIFT NEAR THE COLORADO  
BORDER LATER THIS MORNING AND IT MAY RAIN FOR A FEW FAR WESTERN COUNTIES  
IF THIS ACTIVITY SURVIVES. OTHERWISE, THE COMBINATION OF A WEAK UPPER  
LEVEL WAVE MOVING THROUGH AND ALL THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD  
TO ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY OF EVENING STORMS. HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS  
(~80%) FOR THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING. POPS GET GRADUALLY  
SMALLER AS YOU HEAD EAST ACROSS THE FA. THERE IS SOME MODERATE INSTABILITY  
AND SHEAR, SO CANNOT RULED OUT A STRONG STORM THREAT THIS EVENING.  
THE MAIN THREATS ARE MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND AND HAIL REPORTS, AS  
WELL AS HEAVY RAINFALL. OTHERWISE, HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE 70S  
AND LOWS IN THE 50S AND 60S.  
 
ANOTHER WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE  
WEEKEND. THIS AND THE MOISTURE IN PLACE WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND  
OF STORMY WEATHER RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND. THE NBM POPS LOOK  
FINE FOR NOW. OTHERWISE, HIGHS WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH VALUES  
MAINLY IN THE 70S. LOW 80S CANNOT BE RULED OUT SUNDAY EITHER.  
 
BY MONDAY, WE ENTER A DRIER NW TO N UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. THIS WOULD  
SUPPORT THE NOTION OF A DRIER FORECAST. THIS DOES COME INTO CONFLICT  
THROUGH WITH SOME OF THE DETERMINISTIC MODELS AS WELL AS THEIR ENSEMBLE  
COUNTERPARTS. SOME OF THIS DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE STORM CHANCES  
NEXT WEEK. WE WILL MONITOR FOR A CLEAR TRENDS IN FUTURE RUNS. OTHERWISE,  
HIGHS WILL REMAIN PLEASANT WITH MAINLY 70S (A FEW 80S POSSIBLE) AND  
LOWS IN THE 50S AND 60S.
