MAIN CONCERNS ARE CONVECTION THIS MORNING AND PCPN CHANCES THROUGH
REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. MAIN LINE OF STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION
NOW ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF SOUTHERN EDGE OF CWA...MOVG E-NE JUST
ALONG NORTH SIDE OF SFC WARM FRONT. MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION SHOULD
SLIDE NE ACROSS SE CWA THIS AM AND THEN INTO MINNESOTA. FOR NOW IT
APPEAS THAT MUCH OF THE DAY AFTER MID MORNING MAY BE DRY. UPPER TROF
CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST THROUGH DAY AND COLD FRONT EDGES TOWARD
EASTERN BORDER.  HOWEVER BEST ACTION TNT IS EXPECTED TO WAIT FOR
STRONG S/W ROTATING OUT OF THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF OVERNIGHT.
STRONG SFC LOW IS INDUCED OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS AND THEN HEADS
NORTHEAST TOWARD WEST MN. APPEARS THAT MOST WIDESPREAD STRONG/SEVERE
ACTION TNT WILL BE OVER AREAS SOUTHEAST OF MY CWA. THEN FOR THU/THU
EVE...UPPER TROF LIFTS OUT WITH NICE BAND OF PCPN DEVELOPING OVER
MUCH OF THE REGION. A MIX OF TEMPS FROM MAV/FWC WORKED OKAY.
