STRONG DRYLINE SETTING UP ACROSS EXTREME WRN FA ATTM. MODELS HAVE SERIOUSLY UNDERESTIMATED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EAST OF BOUNDARY AND CAP SHOULD SOON BE GONE. 19Z LAPS ANALYSIS SUGGESTS CAPES APPROACHING 3000 J/KG OVER EXTREME EASTERN COLORADO.

ETA GENERALLY FOLLOWED BEYOND FIRST PERIOD THOUGH CONVECTION TONIGHT MAY PUSH BOUNDARY FURTHER SOUTH THAN ANY OF THE MODELS SUGGEST AT THIS TIME. ETA WAS THE ONLY MODEL OF THE 12Z SUITE THAT WAS IN THE BALLPARK WITH REGARDS TO STRENGTH OF IMPRESSIVE JUNE JET COMING ASHORE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE BEST HANDLE ON LOW LEVEL FIELDS IN PLACE ACROSS REGION. WITH BOUNDARY PROGGED TO REMAIN JUST SOUTHEAST OF FA ON TUESDAY. STRONG DYNAMICS IN NORTHWEST FLOW MAY COMBINE WITH ANY RESIDUAL MOISTURE TO BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION WITH DIURNAL HEATING.

IN THE EXTENDED...NEXT WAVE DIGS INTO PLAINS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE RETURN MAY LIMIT POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT...BUT WITH VERY GOOD DYNAMICS FOR JUNE PROGGED SOME COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS SEEMS LIKELY. .GLD...NONE. BARKER
