WL WRITE AN EARLY DISC IN CASE CONVECTION BREAKS OUT A BIT LATER. CURRENTLY...SOME TS HAS FIRED RIGHT ALONG I 90 BETWEEN KMHE AND KFSD. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERY STRONG H85 WMFNT LIFTING NWD AND ON THE NOSE OF THE H7 CAP. YESTERDAY THE NAM HAD PROGGED A VERY STRONG 50KT WIND AT 6 KM FOR RIGHT NOW...HOWEVER REALITY FM AREA RAOBS AND PROFILERS SHOW THE 6 KM WIND AT ONLY 15 TO 25 KTS. THIS GOES QUITE AWAYS IN EXPLAINING THE LACK OF UPPER FORCING IN KEEPING THE CONVECTION FM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL TONIGHT...AT LEAST SO FAR.
