CLEX-9 October 20th, 2001 Operations

Synopsis

• The CLEX-9 forecast team has decided to stand by all operations for Saturday, October 20th.
  
  
• Weather Forecast (made at 1300 MDT 10/19/01):

  
            Weather Outlook:  Mid-level moisture looks to be sparse tomorrow as the models 
            start to weaken the flow aloft and dry out the atmosphere over the target region.  
            The lack of any upper-level dynamics will also limit tomorrow's cloud formation 
            potential.  By Sunday the sub-tropical jet may bring a patch of mid-level moisture 
            into our CLEX-9 target region.  Will have to see how the models handle this 
            moisture and any associated dynamics.  Monday and Tuesday look to be favorable as 
            a trof of low pressure begins to dig into the Midwest US ushering in increased 
            moisture and NW flow aloft.
