WILL DROP THE POPS BACK FROM THE HIGHER POPS THAT WERE INTRO EARLIER
THIS EVENING. LINE OF STRONGER STORMS WILL CONT TO SKIRT THE RED

-------------------------------------------------

136 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2003

ACTIVE WX PATTERN WILL AFFECT THE SRN PLAINS DURING THE NEXT WEEK
WITH SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR SVR STORMS.  WEAK WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY OVER NCENT OK RAPIDLY MIXED NWD EARLIER THIS MORNING..
LEAVING THE ENTIRE CWA IN THE WARM SECTOR. AIRMASS CONTINUES TO
DESTABILIZE WITH DRYLINE NOW SHARPENING UP NICELY OVER THE ERN TX/OK
PANHANDLES.  HIGH-BASED CU EVIDENT IN VIS SAT IMAGERY AT 1745Z SW OF
KLBB GIVES HIGHER CONFIDENCE OF INITIATION ALONG THE DRYLINE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVE. /NOTE TO RADAR USERS - ECHOES EVIDENT ON KLBB/KAMA
WEST OF CLOVIS NM ARE NOT METEOROLOGICAL./ ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR
IS NOT PARTICULARLY STRONG..GIVEN CAPE AOA 2K J/KG EAST OF
DRYLINE..0-6KM SHEAR FROM 30-35 KTS SHUD BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT
SUPERCELLS FROM WTEX NWD INTO WRN KS AND POSSIBLY FAR WRN OK. ANY
SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY TO BE RATHER SLOW MOVING AND OF THE HP
VARIETY..WITH A POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE VERY LARGE HAIL GIVEN 500 TEMPS
NEAR -15C.

STRONG EWD PUSH ON THE DRYLINE EXPECTED WED AS UPPER SYSTEM EJECTS
INTO THE MISSOURI VALLEY.  ATTM..IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCES
FOR WIDESPREAD SVR STORMS WILL BE TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE OUN CWA.
ALTHOUGH WE CERTAINLY CANNOT RULE OUT LATE AFTERNOON DRYLINE
STORMS..CAPPING SHUD BE QUITE STRONG THIS FAR SOUTH.  VEERING LOW
LEVEL FLOW MAY ALSO ACT TO LIMIT MASS CONVERGENCE NEAR THE DRYLINE
UNTIL EARLY EVENING WHEN LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BACK AND CONVERGENCE
INCREASES AS TRIPLE POINT ZIPPERS SWD ALONG COLD FRONT DRYLINE
INTERSECTION.  BEST CHANCES FOR SVR MAY BE OVERNITE WED NITE IN THE
ERN HALF OF THE CWA AS LLJ INCREASES.  NEW MODELS ARE A BIT SLOWER
TO CLEAR FRONT FROM SE ZONES THUR MORNING..SO WILL HOLD ONTO SOME
LOW POPS THERE AS WELL AS WARMER TEMPS.

ACTIVITY WILL BRIEFLY BE PUSHED SWD INTO TEXAS ON FRIDAY WHEN LOW
LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO OK/NTEX..BUT DEEP MOISTURE WILL NOT BE
PUSHED TOO FAR AWAY.  SO FAR..FOCUS FOR THE WEEKEND HAS BEEN ON
SUNDAY WHEN MEDIUM RANGE MODELS BRING SIG S/W TROF ONTO PLAINS.
HOWEVER..IF THE 12Z AVN IS REASONABLY CLOSE WITH MASS FIELDS..
THE MORE SIGNIFICANT EVENT FOR THE SRN PLAINS MAY OCCUR SAT AFT/EVE
IN CORRIDOR ALONG THE RED RIVER VALLEY.  MORE TRANQUIL WX EXPECTED
TO PREVAIL FOR MON/TUE AS LOW LEVEL RIDGING BUILD SWD TOWARD OK.

OTHER UPDATES THIS AFTERNOON...AND BE READY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

DISCUSSION...
A DRYLINE WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE DRYLINE BY LATE AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO AFTERNOON HEATING AND
DESTABILIZATION...AND CONVERGING WINDS ALONG THE DRY LINE. THE
STORMS WILL TRACK INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. WINDS ALOFT ARE RELATIVELY WEAK AT ALL
LEVELS AS OF MIDDAY...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY BY THIS
EVENING. FORECAST VERTICAL WIND PROFILES THIS EVENING INDICATE THAT
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...
INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW HIGH PRECIPITATION SUPERCELLS...
IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA. DUE TO THE RELATIVELY WEAK WINDS
ALOFT...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM WILL LIKELY BE SLOW MOVING.

OKLAHOMA AS A DRYLINE MOVES INTO THE AREA. HIGHER INSTABILITIES AND
STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
HOWEVER... WARMING TEMPERATURES AT MID LEVELS COULD ACT TO SUPPRESS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. IF LATER FORECAST INFORMATION SUGGESTS
THAT THE CAP ON WEDNESDAY WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AS CURRENTLY
EXPECTED...THEN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD BE UPGRADED TO A
MODERATE RISK ON WEDNESDAY.

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE OVER THE AREA AGAIN ON SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. CURRENT FORECAST DATA INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A
