139 PM CST SUN FEB 2 2003

WILL BE UPDATING SHORTLY TO REMOVE ALL OF DENSE FOG.  NPW IS ALREADY 
OUT.  AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS...RIGHT AFTER DECIDED TO EXPAND/EXTEND 
ADVISORY...FEATURES MOVED IN TO BEGIN DISSIPATION PROCESS.  ARGH.  
NOW WE HAVE GOOD PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS ENTIRE CWA...AND AN AREA OF 
LIFT AS DEPICTED BY RUC80 700 AND 850MB OMEGAS.  FOG HAS QUICKLY 
DISSIPATED SO THAT VISIBILITIES ARE OVER A MILE IN ALL LOCATIONS... 
AND MANY ARE BETTER THAN 2 MILES.  LOW CLOUDS EVEN BEGINNING TO MOVE 
OUT OF SOUTHWEST PART OF CWA.  

HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE RADARS OUT WEST FOR ANY PRECIP DEVELOPMENT 
OVER IA/MO/NE/KS...AND THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING.  ABOVE MENTIONED RUC 
HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON CURRENT PRECIPITATION FALLING OVER SOUTHERN MN 
AND WI...AND DOES NOT DEPICT ANYTHING DEVELOPING OVER CWA THROUGH 
06Z.  FOR NOW...AM GOING TO PULL ALL MENTION OF POPS THIS 
AFTERNOON.  TEMPS ALSO NEED SOME TWEAKING AS WHILE THERE IS SOME 
SUNSHINE BREAKING OUT SOUTHWEST...TEMPS ARE NOT RISING WELL ENOUGH 
TO MAKE FORECASTED HIGHS.

AS A HEADS UP...SOME OF THE WSW WILL BE DROPPED WITH THE MAIN 
AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE...THOUGH FINAL DETAILS HAVE NOT BEEN  
DETERMINED.
