A CLIPPER SYSTEM WAS DIGGING INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AREA 
EARLY THIS MORNING DRIVING A COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS 
STATES. A NARROW LOBE OF H7-H3 DIV Q WILL BE JUXTAPOSED WITH A 
TRANSIENT AREA OF H7 FRONTO-G HELPING TO MAINTAIN LIGHT MIXED PCPN 
EARLY IN THE FIRST PERIOD. A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF LIQUID WILL BE 
POSSIBLE, BUT ONLY TRACE AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE ANTICIPATED. NOT A 
GREAT DEAL OF LOW LVL CAA EXPECTED, AND WITH CLEARING BY LATE 
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SHOULD REBOUND TO SEASONABLE 
READINGS IN THE MID/UPPER 40S. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARE ANOTHER 
CONCERN THROUGH THE DAY. UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS ARE GUSTING INTO THE 
29-32KT RANGE EARLY THIS MORNING AND X-SECTIONS OF WIND/MIXING LAYER 
HEIGHT SUPPORT NEAR ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS. GIVEN LACK OF STRONG LOW 
LVL CAA WILL RAMP UP SPEEDS, AND MAINTAIN NO HEADLINES.

FRIDAY AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH
