.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry today, but daily rainfall chances arrive
again beginning on Saturday.

High pressure will remain in control through today, but will
begin to weaken and shift east into the Atlantic by Saturday.
Should still expect mostly clear skies through tonight, with
high temperatures returning to normal for end of July. As
surface high pressure shifts east, will see return flow
introduce increasing moisture back into the region. An
approaching upper level low, slowly moving east, will also bring
a return to daily rainfall chances beginning on Saturday. This
wave will elongate and make very little progress through next
week. This will keep daily rain and thunderstorm chances through
the middle of next week.

Overall, pattern is not supportive of organized severe, but
repetitive slow moving daily thunderstorms may begin to
increase hydro concerns through the middle of next week.
Precipitable Water values (approaching 2 inches) gives some
confidence in this as well. Temperatures next week generally at
or slightly below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Mostly VFR through the period. Exception will be fog at LWB
this morning and again tomorrow morning. Winds will be light
today, going calm again tonight.


EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...

VFR into early Saturday morning. Another active weather pattern
will bring the potential for areawide sub-VFR starting Saturday
night, persisting through the middle of next week.
