CLOSED UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE CANADIAN

STORMS TO DEVELOP. ADDITIONAL DEEP-LAYER MOISTURE IS ALSO
PROGGED TO LIFT NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF THROUGH MID WEEK HELPING
TO INCREASE STORM COVERAGE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER
80S TO LOW 90S. THE INCREASING MOISTURE LEVELS WILL ALSO MAKE IF
