...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
...SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO PROGRESS E ACROSS THE
SRN/CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO THE MS VALLEY REGION. A WEAK SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL RESIDE OVER TN AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURE...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT ADVANCING S THROUGH MUCH OF
TX...AND A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING EWD TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ALONG AND S OF THE TWO
FRONTAL BOUNDARIES OVER THE SERN STATES...WHILE A GENERALLY WEAK
SURFACE FLOW REGIME IS EXPECTED OVER THE SRN PLAINS REGION.
FARTHER WEST OVER AZ/NM INTO CA...MODERATELY STRONG UPPER LEVEL WLY
FLOW IS FORECAST TO OCCUR. HOWEVER...WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGING IS
EXPECTED OVER THE DESERT SW...WHICH WILL BE UNFAVORABLE FOR
STRONG/SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS. STRONGER FLOW ALOFT OVER SRN CA MAY
RESULT IN CRITICALLY STRONG WINDS OVER ELEVATED INTERIOR
