MORE SHOWER ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING WITHIN THE CWA MAINLY FROM THE ORD AREA TO JUST EAST OF MCCOOK. PROBABLY DUE IN PART TO WAA OVER THE AREA. AREAS SOUTH INTO KS APPEAR TO HAVE LESS CLOUD COVER PER VIS SATL PAX...AIDING WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING. MEANWHILE...IMAGES FROM WATER VAPOR SATL PIX SHOW THE WAVE THAT MOVED THRU NRN NEB EARLIER THIS MORNING. TO THE WEST...UNUSUALLY STRONG RIDGING IS ENTRENCHED OVER THE PAC NW AND AREA NORTH. DRY SLOT WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS CENTRAL ROCKIES MAY TEMPORARILY CUT OFF SUB TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE...LARGE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES MOST OF THE PLAINS AND AREAS EAST. THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WAS LOCATED NEAR THE GREAT LAKES REGION. PCPN CHANCES TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PACKAGE. STRONG MID LEVEL WAA AND ADVANCING DPVA INTO MOIST AIR MASS SUGGESTS SHOWERS A GOOD BET TONIGHT. LIFT BEING ENHANCE VIA UPPER LEVEL DIRECTIONAL DIVERGENCE PROGGED OVER NEB AT 06Z. SO GOING FCST LOOKS GOOD. LIFT TREKS EAST OVERNIGHT AND WE SHOULD SEE LINGERING SHOWERS AFTER DAYBREAK SATURDAY. SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...PCPN SMALL PCPN CHANCES EXIST FROM WAA LIFT AND RIPPLES MOVING THRU THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW.

ALTHOUGH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD ONCE AGAIN BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS MINIMAL. PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION WILL KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE SOMEWHAT STABLE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL EXIST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HOLDREGE AND PHILLIPSBURG...WHERE LIMITED SUNSHINE WILL LEAD TO MARGINALLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WORKS EAST THROUGH THE REGION. WITH THESE STORMS WILL COME THE THREAT OF LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. GURNEY
