FORECAST CONCERNS FAR LESS IMPRESSIVE TONIGHT...BACK TO DEALING
WITH THOSE RELATIVELY MINOR CONCERNS OF CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES
IN A POST FRONTAL...FAIR...WEATHER REGIME.

UPPER LOW EXITING NE US...LEAVING US WITH NORTHERLY/NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW...AND BROAD HIGH PRESSURE OVER LOWER MIDWEST.  DISSIPATING
CIRRUS FROM DIURNAL CONVECTION ALONG MEXICAN SIERRAS WORKING
EASTWARD ALONG THE GULF COAST...SHOULD CONTINUE TO THIN AS IT MOVES
EASTWARD WITH ONLY MINOR IMPACTS.  DIGGING SHORTWAVE SHOULD BRUSH

THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.  ANOTHER UNSEASONABLY DEEP...
AND IMPRESSIVE...SYSTEM SLATED BY THE AVN INTO THE WEEKEND.  ALTHOUGH
