WEAK SHORT-WAVE ENABLED A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP NORTHEAST OF
THE EWX CWA AS HIGHS WERE NEAR CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES.  SHORT-WAVE
WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT SOUTHWEST AROUND THE RIDGE ALOFT AND JUST MAY
GIVE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS FOR SAME REASON...EAST CWA FRIDAY AND WEST
SATURDAY.  HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE AND POSSIBLE AREAL COVERAGE ARE LOW
AND WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW.  OTHERWISE...ONLY A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
TO BE MADE TO ONGOING FORECAST.

IF THE 31/00Z MRF VERIFIES AND A CHUNK OF THE CURRENT SOUTHEASTERN
STATES LOW BREAKS OFF AND MOVES SOUTHWEST AROUND THE RIDGE...THE CWA
COULD SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OF
NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH...MANY SOLUTIONS STILL POSSIBLE UNTIL THEN.

SPECIAL NOTE...BEGINNING TOMORROW MORNING...SEP 1ST...ON THE 430 AM
