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

147 PM CDT FRI MAY 9 2003

WELL DEFINED S/W TROF EVIDENT IN 12Z UA DATA OVER NEW MEXICO APPEARS
TO BE AMPLIFYING PER BAND 10 WV IMAGERY FROM RAMSDIS OVER FAR WTEX
ATTM. PRESSURE FALLS ARE NOW INCREASING OVER NW OK..AND SFC WINDS
HAVE BACKED 40-60 DEGREES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF HRS OVR SW OK.  AS
OF YET..SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE HAS NOT WORKED BACK
NWWD..BUT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS OVER MUCH OF SW OK/NW TX AS WINDS CONT TO
BACK/INCREASE.  FIRST ATTEMPT AT SUSTAINED BL BASED CONVECTION
APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED FOR THE MOMENT TO THE WEST OF KABI..BUT
INCREASING LOW LEVEL VERTICAL VELOCITIES IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
RAPID SVR STORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON.  OTHER CONCERN FOR
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING ON THE HI PLAINS AND THEN SPREAD EAST/SOUTEAST ALONG AND
NORTH OF WARM FRONTAL ZONE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER DEFINED
ACROSS NRN OK OR SRN KS.

SFC LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST OF OKLAHOMA RATHER QUICKLY ON
SATURDAY..AND SHUD RESULT IN VEERING LOW LEVEL FLOW.  ALTHOUGH
MOISTURE MAY BE SOMEWHAT SLOW TO MIX OUT IN THE SE ZONES..POTENTIAL
FOR STORM INITIATION APPEARS TO BE LIMITED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF OUR
CWA.  DEEP MOISTURE SHUD FINALLY GET PUSHED SWD INTO TEXAS IN WAKE
OF THIS SYSTEM..GIVING A 36-48 HR BREAK IN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.
HOWEVER..MOISTURE MAY BEGIN TO LEAK BACK NWD ENUF LATE MONDAY TO
ALLOW FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT OVR NW/W TEXAS.

LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS THAT A PERIOD OF WNW FLOW
ALOFT MAY BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE CENT/SRN PLAINS MID WEEK IN
WAKE OF STRONG GREAT LAKES SYSTEM..AND BEFORE WEST COAST TROF
RELOADS BY LATE IN THE WEEK.  CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL INCREASE
TUE/WED AS INSTABILITY AXIS BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN A BIT
FARTHER NORTH BENEATH AXIS OF STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW. IF NRLY
COMPONENT TO MID LEVEL FLOW DOES DEVELOP..PATTERN WILL BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR FORWARD PROPAGATING SVR MCS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE HI
PLAINS SEWD INTO THE SRN PLAINS.
