308 PM CDT MON MAY 31 1999

EPISODE LXV: THE DAYSHIFT MENACE.

IN A FORECAST OFFICE NOT VERY FAR, FAR AWAY, A BAND OF RAG-TAG
FORECASTERS POUR OVER THE VAST AND UNENDING STREAM OF SENSORY DATA.
PULLING OUT HIS LIGHT-PENCIL, THE NOT TOO YOUNG ISIXTYFIVE ANALYZES
SURFACE REPORTS.  HE NOTICES THAT THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA CONTINUES TO
BE MOIST AND UNSTABLE.  AN IMPERIAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO MAKE
ITS WAY ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT THE TIME OF THIS TRANSMISSION.
SENSORS CONTINUE TO SHOW SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MOVING ACROSS AREA. KNOWING THAT THIS CAN ONLY BE THE WORK OF THE
EMPIRE, THE NOT TOO YOUNG ISIXTYFIVE REMEMBERS THE TEACHINGS OF HIS
JEDI-FORECASTER. BELIEVE IN THE MODEL, BELIEVE IN THE MODEL.

FEELING A SLIGHT DISTURBANCE IN THE MODEL, IT INDICATES A SHORTWAVE
CONTINUING TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. LOOKING AT SEVERAL FORECAST
TIME-SECTION SCHEMATICS ACROSS THE AREA, SHOWS A SLIGHT DECREASE IN 
DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  HOWEVER, WITH HEATING 
OF THE DAY AND SEABREEZE ACROSS THE SOUTH, SCATTERED IMPERIAL ACTIVITY 
SHOULD CONTINUE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.  TRUST THE MODEL ISIXTYFIVE, 
A MYSTICAL VOICE SAYS.  IMPERIAL COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF 
THE AREA WEDNESDAY AS YET ANOTHER DISTURBANCE IN THE MODEL, A SHORTWAVE, 
MOVES OVER THE AREA.  WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS AREAWIDE.

FIRST PERIOD PROBABILITES WILL DEPEND ON LATEST SENSORY DATA.

MAY THE MODEL BE WITH YOU.
