.UPDATE...
HIGH PLAINS CONVECTION SO FAR HAS SHOWN LITTLE IN WAY OF UPSCALE
ORGANIZATION. BUT LLJ IS PROGGED TO INCREASE...AND THIS MAY AID IN
MCS FORMATION. AT THIS TIME...MCS DEVELOPMENT APPEARS MOST LIKELY
OVER TX WHERE LLJ WILL INTERSECT REMNANT SFC BOUNDARY AND CURRENT
CONVECTION IS MORE CONCENTRATED. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
PASS TO S OF OUR CWA...BUT SW CORNER IS ALREADY IN IT AND THUS
WILL ADJUST POPS ACCORDINGLY. ELSEWHERE HAVE LOWERED OVERNIGHT
POPS IN MOST AREAS...KEEPING HIGHER POPS OUT W PER EXPECTED LLJ
AXIS AND LATEST MODEL QPFS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CENTRAL
PLAINS CONVECTION FOR POTENTIAL INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY/
ORGANIZATION AS IT ROLLS SE.
