SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...
A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY
THIS AFTERNOON BUT AT THIS TIME DO NOT THINK THE FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH
INTO THE BIG COUNTRY. AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION THE CLOUD COVER FROM
THE STORMS THAT WERE OCCURRING THIS MORNING DOWN SOUTH MAY INHIBIT
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...IF SOME CLEARING OCCURS MAY SEE
STORMS DEVELOPS THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS. AT THIS TIME THINK
THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE EAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT BUT SHIFT BACK
TO THE SOUTHEAST BY MID EVENING BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 10 MPH.
WITH THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVERAGE DAYTIME HEATING WILL BE SLOWED SO EXPECT
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO STAY IN THE 50 TO 60 PERCENT RANGE THIS AFTERNOON.
