PUBLIC FORECAST EXPLANATION
ISSUED: 05/09/2008 1543C

A WEAK COLD FRONT HAS SETTLED IN JUST TO OUR NORTH, AND IT
WILL LIKELY DRIFT THROUGH HERE THIS EVENING WITH A WIND SHIFT
BEFORE GOING BACK NORTHWARD SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES MIGHT RUN A
DEGREE OR SO LOWER TOMORROW AFTERNOON BECAUSE OF HIGHER RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES.
A STRONGER COLD FRONT AND STORM SYSTEM SHOULD AFFECT US
TOMORROW NIGHT. I EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS PERHAPS AS EARLY AS LATE-
AFTERNOON TOMORROW, BUT MOST LIKELY TOMORROW NIGHT. AREAL COVERAGE
SHOULD RUN 40%-50%, WITH QPF 1/4 TO « INCH. THERE IS A SEVERE
RISK, WHICH WOULD BE MOST LIKELY AT EARLY-EVENING SATURDAY.
SIGNIFICANT COOLING SUNDAY, MODIFICATION MONDAY, AND ANOTHER
SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. RKP
