214 PM MDT THU JUL 26 2001

NCEP MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE A POOR HANDLE ON MCC/MCS DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE HIGH PLAINS DURING THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF THE LAST 3
NIGHTS. MUCH DRIER AIR AT MID LEVELS HAS ADVECTED INTO SOUTHERN
NEBRASKA THE LAST 24 HOURS WITH THE 700 MB DEW POINT AT KLBF AT -14C
THIS MORNING. WEAK SURFACE LOW AT 19Z WAS OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO
NORTHEAST OF KTAD. ANTICIPATE MCS DEVELOPMENT OVER THE SOUTHEAST
COLORADO PLAINS BY THIS EVENING AS MSAS LIFTED INDICES AROUND -8
NEAR LAMAR AT 18Z. CLUSTER OF STORMS FIRING NEAR KLHX AT 1930Z.
EMBEDDED VORT MAX APPARENT ON VAPOR IMAGERY MOVING NORTH OVER THE
OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AT 19Z SHOULD ENHANCE CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHWEST
KANSAS. EXPECT STORM COMPLEX TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS FAR EASTERN
COLORADO THEN TURN MORE EAST AS THE STORMS PROPAGATE INTO INTO THE
MOISTURE RICH AIRMASS OVER KANSAS...ROUGHLY IN THE VICINITY OF
INTERSTATE 70. WILL CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT FOR FIVE
COUNTIES OF NORTHWEST KANSAS FROM RUSSELL SPRINGS TO NORTON AS 3
HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE FOR THE COUNTIES IN THIS AREA BETWEEN 0.7
TO 1.1 INCH.

LOW TEMPERATURES THE NEXT TWO NIGHTS SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL AS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUDS KEEP TEMPERATURES UP. THE ETA HAS DONE
THE BEST OF THE NCEP MODELS WITH THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS AND
APPEARS ON TRACK...SO WILL FOLLOW.

FOR THE EXTENDED...AVN/MRF CONSISTENT WITH GENERAL UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAY...BUILDING AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BACK
INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS BY SUNDAY. FMR MOS APPEARS ON TRACK WITH
DRY CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
PREFER THE MEX POPS AROUND 40 PERCENT FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS
DAY 7 VERIFICATION OF THE LAST FEW MONTHS YIELDS THE MEX SUPERIOR
TO THE MRF. EXPECT SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES DURING THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS DISPLACED SOUTHEAST AND
ENERGY FROM THE WEST COAST TROF MOVES EAST TO LEAD TO CHANCE FOR
STORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS.

.GLD...FLASH FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT FOR NORTON...GRAHAM...SHERIDAN...
