   _ U N CL A S S I F 1 E D TOD = 042 0249
   K~ JOAF #342 VALID: 11/00002 TO 1222
   SHOWS A HIGH CENTER LOCATED 1N CNIRL SA(24N46E) WITH A CNTRL PRESSURE
   OF 1025MB. THE RED SEA TROF NOW EXTENDS ALMOST TO THE MED. IT STARTS
   AN APPROX 10N37E, IO 20N37E IO ITS NRN MOSI POINI 30N36E. THIS TROF
   IN COMBINATION WITH AN UPR LVL SHORT WAVE HAS KICKED OFF ISOLD RASH
   IN THE PAST 6HRS OVER JORDAN AND WILL MOVE THRU NRN IRAQ THRU THIS
   AFTERNOON. THIS SHORT WAVE WILL ALSO BRING MID/HIGH LEV CIGS AS IT
   MOVES THRU THE AOR. ANOTHER TROF EXISTS ALONG THE ZAROGOS. THE
   PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH AND TROF CREATED GUSTY SFC WINDS
   FOR THE SRN PERSIAN GULF, STRAITS OF HORMUZ, AND NRN GULF OF OMAN
   YESTERDAY. LOOK FOR GUSTY SFC WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AS THE GRADIENT
   TIGHTENS AGAIN. THERE IS A LOW IN THE ERN NED WITH WK CIRCULATION.
   THIS WK LOW IS CAUSING SC CIGS IN THE ERN MED AND ALSO ADVECTING INTO
   SCT SC SYRIA. THIS LOW WILL BRING SOME SCT SC TO ERN IRAQ IONIGHI,
   BUT WILL BuRN OFF AFTER SUNRISE. THE REMAINDER OF THE AOR WILL REMAIN

   3. PART C: METSAT DISCUSSION:
   THE SJT IS NEARLY ZONAL FROM CNTRL AFRICA TO SRN IRAQ AT ABOUT 25N.
   PFJ REMAINS WELL N OF THE REGION. AREA OF PVA MOVING INTO SYRIA AND
   WRN IRAQ HICKING OFF SOME ISOLD CONVECTION. WITH THIS AREA OF PVA IS
   THIN BKN CI250/270, BKN AC070/120, AND SCT SC030/050. MOST OF SA AND
   KUWAIT REMAIN CLR. RED SEA CONVERGENCE ZONE NEAR 16N WITH
   BKN SC030/060. SCT SC IN SRN SA BETWEEN 21N,17N AND 48E,53E. SCT TO
   BKN AC100/150 EXTENDS ALONG MOC IN SRN SA BETWEEN 21N,17N AND 48E,53E.SCT TO 
   BKN AC100/150 EXTENDS ALONG MOKUWAIT REMAIN CLR. RED SEA CONVERGENCE ZONE NEAR 1
   6N WITH -
   B~N SC030/060. SCT SC IN SRN SA BETWEEN 21N'17N AND 48E,53E. SCT TO
   BKN AC100/150 EXTENDS ALONG MOST OF THE EXTREME SRN ARABIAN PENISULA.
   SOME LOW ST/SC010/060 REMAINS ALONG THE CST OF YEMEN BETWEEN 43E AND
   50E.
