.DISCUSSION...

NEAR TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...MAIN CHALLENGES IN THE NEAR
PERIODS ARE LOW POP CHANCES. SETUP FAIRLY CONDUCIVE TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION THIS AFTN AS ABUNDANT LL MOISTURE ALREADY IN PLACE WITH
SFC DEW POINTS WELL INTO THE MID TO UPPR 60S. CAP ALREADY NON
EXISTENT AS OF 19Z WITH CU POPPING READILY ACROSS THE CWA. UPPR
WAVE CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS NRN CO THIS AFTN SO UPPER LVL
INSTABILITY IN PLACE. EXPECT SVR THREAT TO BE LIMITED THOUGH AND
CONFINED TO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AS SURFACE TO 6 KM SHEAR WEAK THIS
AFTN. MAIN THREAT AT THIS JUNCTURE IS FROM HEAVY RAIN. SURFACE FOCAL
POINTS FOR CONVECTION HARD TO COME BY AT THIS JUNCTURE AS THE ONLY
SFC BOUNDARY NOTED IS ALONG THE NERN ZONES...AND ONGOING CONVECTION
MAKING THIS DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. HAVE OPTED FOR SCATTERED AND
ISOLATED TSRAS THIS EVENING.

ON MONDAY...SFC BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE SEWD DURING THE
DAY...BECOMING ORIENTED FROM VTN TO BBW. UPPR PATTERN CHANGES LITTLE
FOR MONDAY WITH A PESKY LOW LEVEL LOW SPINNING OVER NERN COLORADO.
AM EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDE SPREAD SCATTERED CONVECTION ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH HEATING SOUTH AND WEST OF THE
BOUNDARY.

ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE PATTERN WILL TRANSITION TO WRLY AND
SWRLY FLOW ALOFT AS THE NEXT STRONG UPPR LOW BEGINS TO TRAVERSE THE
NRN TIER OF STATES. THE RESULT WILL BE PERSISTENT LEE SIDE TROFFING ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AND AN ABUNDANCE OF SHORTWAVES THROUGH
MIDWEEK. HAVE CONTINUED POPS FROM PVS FCST.

FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CLOSED LOW TRAVERSING FAR SRN CANADA FROM MIDDAY
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT IN
ADVERTISING THIS FEATURE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...HOWEVER
TIMING DIFFERENCES ABOUND AND UNCERTAINTIES STILL EXIST ON WHETHER
OR NOT THE UPPR LOW IS STRONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE A FRONT THROUGH THE FA
LATE IN THE WEEK. THE GFS CONTINUES TO INDICATE ROBUST LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE FA THROUGH THE WEEK. ALSO...AS THE CLOSED LOW
PULLS OUT ONTO THE PLAINS...DECENT LEE TROFING WILL DEVELOP AND
SHOULD PROVIDE SOME SURFACE FOCUS FOR TSRAS TO DEVELOP. IF PATTERN
HOLDS...BEST SVR CHANCES SHOULD BE OVER THE WRN DAKOTAS...IN CLOSER
PROXIMITY TO THE BEST JET DYNAMICS. CONTINUED MENTION OF POPS FOR
THURSDAY...THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY (ERN HALF) UNTIL THE TROF
AXIS CLEARS THE FA ON FRIDAY. EXPECT THIS TO BE REFINED FURTHER WITH
SUCCESSIVE RUNS AS THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SUFFER FROM TIMING ISSUES.
WENT WITH A DRY FCST ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE GFS IS
ADVERTISING LL WESTERLIES AND DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR.
