DISCUSSION

SOME MODELING SUGGESTS THE PRESENCE OF A WEAK AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE SLIPPING IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE'S EASTWARD
DEPARTURE MAY ALLOW A SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER/STORM ACROSS THE
AREA, PARTICULARLY THE SOUTHEAST. WE'LL LEAVE THAT MENTION IN
THERE AS THIS MORNING'S CAMS STRUGGLE WITH A FIXED SOLUTION BUT
ALL PRODUCE SOME MINIMAL NOISE OUTPUT WITH RESPECT TO PCPN INTO
THIS EARLY EVENING.
WARM SECTORING TAKES OVER THEREAFTER, AS THE BROADER UPPER HIGH
BUILDS OVER THE GULF THRU MID WEEK. THE RESULTANT WARM ADVECTION
FETCH MANIFESTS HERE WITH HIGHER TEMPS, HIGHER DEW POINTS, AND
PUSHING HEADLINE HI'S. WHILE CONSIDERING A DURATION ADVISORY FOR
SUNDAY-WEDNESDAY, THE NEW 12Z NBM'S NUMBERS HAVE RETURNED MORE
MARGINAL AROUND THE CENTURY MARK FOR SUNDAY, AND CONVECTIVE
CHANCES INCREASE WEDNESDAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO PUNT AND FOCUS ON
THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIMING OF BEST HEAT FOR HEADLINES IN
POTENTIAL FUTURE PACKAGES, SHOULD THE NUMBERS HOLD AND WARRANT;
FOR NOW WE'RE MAINLY IN THE 100-105 RANGE MONDAY-TUESDAY.
STORM CHANCES REALLY CLIMB TOWARD THE WEEK'S END, AS A SHARPER
LONG WAVE TROF DIGS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND PUSHES A COLD
FRONT TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY. THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE THE BEST SUCH
CHANCE FOR STORMS, AND ANY POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER STORMS LOOK
BEST THURSDAY AS WELL.
