PRECIPITATION:
LATE TONIGHT--SUNDAY EVENING...A DEEP WESTERN CONUS UPPER TROUGH

HEAVY RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON-EVENING.
TUESDAY--THURSDAY NIGHT...A SECOND SLOW-MOVING AND WOBBLY DEEP UPPER
TROUGH IN CONCERT WITH A FRONTAL ZONE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT. THINKING CHANCES WILL BE
GREATEST GENERALLY TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY, WHEN LARGE
SCALE SYNOPTIC FORCING IS GREATEST. ONCE AGAIN, LIMITED
INSTABILITY/SHEAR SHOULD PREVENT SEVERE STORMS, ALTHOUGH THE
STRONGEST ACTIVITY WILL BE CAPABLE OF SMALL HAIL, GUSTY WINDS, AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

A RELATIVELY THICK ATMOSPHERE AND PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL SUPPORT ANOTHER DAY OF ABOVE
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S THROUGH MID 90S TODAY. SUNDAY

WHERE PRECIPITATION/CLOUDS WILL BE MOST PREVALENT. SEASONABLY WARM
