KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION...
THE COLD FRONT DROPPING IN ON MONDAY
STILL LOOKS TO HAVE ENOUGH OF A LACK OF SUPPORT ALOFT TO PRODUCE
ANYTHING MORE THAN ABOUT 40 POPS AND RAINFALL WILL BE TOO SPOTTY
FROM AN AREAL COVERAGE PERSPECTIVE TO BRING US ANY DROUGHT
RELIEF. ANOTHER WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWER/STORM DAY ON TAP FOR
TUESDAY AS A WEAKNESS BETWEEN TWO MID LEVEL RIDGE PASSES
OVERHEAD CONTAINING A FEW VORTICITY MAXES. FOR THE LATER HALF OF
THE WEEK THE TWO RIDGE CENTERS CONGEAL NEARBY AND A PIEDMONT
