SENT ZONE UPDATE EARLIER TO REMOVE MENTION OF PCPN WITH KDVN 00Z SOUNDING
SHOWING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF DRY AIR SFC-800 MB. MAIN CONCERN IS WITH 
TEMPS OVERNIGHT. CURRENTLY SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH EASTERN IA 
ACCOMPANIED BY SOME CLOUDS. SHORTWAVE WILL EXIT STAGE RIGHT NEXT SEVERAL HOURS 
TAKING CLOUDS WITH IT. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL CLOUDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT 
AS WARM ADVECTION COMMENCES. LOOKS AS THOUGH WARM ADVECTION WON/T ARRIVE IN
EARNEST UNTIL 12Z AND WITH SOME CLEARING FOR A WHILE AND LIGHT LLVL FLOW
WILL BACK OFF ON STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING WORDING...EXCEPT MAYBE IN 
THE WESTERN ZONES. ALSO OF NOTE OMA H85 TEMP AT 00Z -9C WITH ETA/META/NGM SOME
3-5 DEGS TOO WARM ON INITIALIZATION.  

LOOKING AHEAD ON TUE. 00Z NGM/META/ETA HOLD OFF ON INCREASING LLVL RELH 
UNTIL AFTER DARK. THUS...CURRENT FORECAST MAY BE BIT PESSAMISTIC WITH
CLOUDS AND MENTION OF DRIZZLE IN AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTH. 
WILL PASS CONCERNS TO THE MID CREW. TEMPS THEN COULD BE FEW DEGS WARMER WITH
SOLAR INSOLATION AND SOUTHWEST BREEZE.

WARMUP STILL LOOKS ON TRACK BY WEEKEND...BRING IT ON!!!!
