LIEUTENANT COMMANDER'S LOG - STARDATE 10121997:

FOUNDER'S ATTACK OF THE WEATHER SUPPRESS UNIT HAS LEFT MUCH OF THE
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AT RISK OF THE UNCONTROLLED FORCES OF NATURE. AS
A RESULT...WILL HAVE TO USE AN OLDER SET OF SECONDARY SUBSYSTEMS AND
GENERATE A LOWER RESOLUTION NUMERICAL/GRAPHICAL FORECAST GUIDANCE.
THE UNSUPPRESS AREA HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO SECTIONS...AND I HAVE BEEN
ASSIGNED AN AREA ONCE KNOW AS THE STATE OF ALABAMA...THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND FOR SOME REASON...FOUR SMALL SECTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL
GEORGIA. WOULD RATHER BE THROWN INTO A PIT OF JEM'HADARS THAN TO USE
THESE OLDER COMPUTERS.

ANALYSIS SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING. AT THE SURFACE BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES. AFTER
WAITING A LONG 5 NANOSECONDS FOR THE MODELS TO BE GENERATED...
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
MONDAY. THE MODELS DISAGREE SLIGHTLY ON POSITIONING OF COLD FRONT BY
MONDAY EVENING. ETA SHOWING COLD FRONT ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY
0000 UTC...WHILE THE AVN HAS FRONT NEAR A BNA-HSV-JAN LINE. WILL
PROBABLY USE A MIXED OF THE TWO. EXPECT CONVECTION TO OCCUR ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO THE FORECAST SECTOR MONDAY LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. ALSO...BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AHEAD OF THE
APPROACH FRONTAL SYSTEM THROUGH MONDAY.

BEING REASSIGN TO MONITOR APPROACHING CONVECTION USING AN OLD SENSING
DEVICE CALLED THE WSR-88D? GO FIGURE. END LOG.

NUMBERS MAY CHANGE. ONE_OF_I65
