   CONTINUES TO MAKE A VERY SLOW NORTHWARD PROGRESSION AMIDST A
   CORRIDOR OF SUSTAINED PRESSURE FALLS. LOW LEVEL WARM/MOIST
   TRAJECTORIES ALONG/SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO ERODE
   ANY REMAINING SURFACE INHIBITION. AS A SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET

   SRH WILL REMAIN MAXIMIZED ALONG/NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT ESPECIALLY
