THE H5 HIGH CENTERS OVER THE PAH FA THIS MID WEEK IN THE 596 DM
RANGE. THE 1018 MB SURFACE REFLECTED HIGH SITS JUST TO ITS EAST
AND OFFERS A STEADY-STATE OF WARM AIR ADVECTION. BOTH RIDGES
SHIFT GRADUALLY TO THE EAST WITH TIME, HOLDING THEIR AMPLE
STRENGTH/IMPACTS ON OUR PAH FA HEADING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND,
WITH PEAK EXTREMITY IMPACTS COMING THE NEXT 48-72 HOURS.
EXTENDED MODELING CONTINUES TO PUSH BACK/DWINDLE NEXT PCPN
CHANCES, AND THESE CHANCES DO START TO IMPACT THE RIDGE
STRENGTH/TEMPS BY THE END OF THE DAY SATURDAY, SO THE HEADLINE
WAS NOT EXTENDED BEYOND THEN FOR NOW. IT IS POSSIBLE SOME PARTS
OF THE CWA, NAMELY THE EAST, WILL SEE THE HEADLINE NUMBERS BACK
OFF THEIR PEAKS BY THEN, BUT WILL STILL NEAR/MEET THE PROLONGED
DURATION THRESHOLDS. BY SUNDAY-MONDAY, WE SHOULD SEE THAT EAST-
TO-WEST COOLDOWN TRANSLATE ITS WAY BACK BELOW THE CENTURY HI
MARK, EVEN AS OUR PCPN CHANCES DWINDLE AGAIN AS THE UPPER RIDGE
RE-ORIENTS IN A LITTLE FLATTER FASHION OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
