.DISCUSSION...

MAIN CONCERN THIS AFTN/TNGT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN THREAT.

TNGT: LOTS OF ISENTROPIC LIFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTN
INTO THIS EVE. LAYERS ABOVE 850H REMAIN UNSTABLE SO SOME MORE SVR WX
IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AS ELEVATED CONVECTION COULD LEAD TO A
HAIL THREAT. EXPECT SCT SHRA/TSRA TO CONTINUE OFF AND ON ACROSS THE
AREA. WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA AND IMBEDDED TSRA ACTIVITY TO PICK
BACK UP AGAIN AFTER SUNSET AND OVERNIGHT AS SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT
INCREASES AS UPPER LOW IN THE ROCKIES PULLS NE INTO THE PLAINS. WILL
GO MAINLY CATEGORICAL WITH POPS ACROSS THE AREA TNGT, AND DEFINATELY
KEEP THE FLOOD WATCH GOING FOR SRN AND SERN KS THROUGH SAT EVE.
WILL EXPAND IT BY A FEW COUNTIES TO THE WEST AND NORTH TO INCLUDE
ICT AND EWK GIVEN EARLIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY.

SAT/SAT NIGHT: SHRA/IMBEDDED TSRA WILL PROBABLY BE ONGOING EARLY SAT
AS SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA.  MAIN HEAVY RAIN
THREAT APPREARS TO BE OVER SERN KS AS OVERUNNING RAINS ADD TO THE
RAINFALL TOTALS.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE 2-3 INCH RAINFALL
AMOUNTS ACROSS A WIDE SWATH OF COUNTIES.  SVR WEATHER THREAT LOOKS
TO BE CONFINED TO EXTREME ERN KS FOR SAT AFTN/EVE AS SFC BASED
INSTABILITY INCREASES DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. SVR WEATHER THREAT
WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON ANY AMOUNT OF SFC HEATING THAT OCCURS.
WILL LEAVE THIS THREAT IN FOR NOW.

SUN/SUN NIGHT: THINGS CLEAR OUT AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW GOES NWRLY AND
SFC RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA.  SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT NOTED LATE SUN
NIGHT INTO EARLY MON BUT LOW LAYERS VERY DRY SO THIS WILL GO TO MID
CLOUD FORMATION.

MON-WED: NW UPPER FLOW CONTINUES FOR MON THROUGH EARLY WED AS SFC
RIDGE MOVES SE OF THE AREA BASICALLY CUTTING OFF ANY MOISTURE RETURN
INTO THE AREA.  SO LOTS OF SUNSHINE, TO GIVE THE AREA A CHANCE TO
DRY OUT.

THU-FRI: UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE SWRLY AS THE DAY PROGRESSES ON THU,
AS A STRONG S/WV DIVES ACROSS THE PAC NW INTO THE SW US.  MOISTURE
SURGES BACK INTO THE AREA BY THU AFTN, AS LEE SIDE TROF DEVELOPS IN
SWRN KS.  WILL BRING TSRA BACK INTO THE FORECAST FOR THE THU
AFTN-EARLY FRI TIME PERIOD AS THIS SFC LOW APPRAOCHES THE AREA WITH
A COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA BY 12Z FRI.  DO SUPPORT GOING
WITH WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD AS SLOWER
ARRIVAL OF THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP TEMPS FAIRLY WARM ON
THU.
