UPDATED FOR RED FLAG WARNING...
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER ACTIVE EVENING ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS AGAIN
TONIGHT. LONG WAVE TROF WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE
COUNTRY INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP NM IN NW FLOW ALOFT...SO
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY

THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. EXPECTING MORE OF THE SAME FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN ANOTHER FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE EASTERN PLAINS
AND A WEAK RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE STATE LATE IN THE WEEKEND
WHICH WILL BEGIN TO SHUT DOWN THE SEVERE CONVECTION. MOVING INTO NEXT
WEEK...RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA BRING WARMER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS. NOT TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE OVERALL PREVIOUS FORECAST...
