A LOW-AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE TROUGH CRESTING THE BROAD UPR RIDGE ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND CNTRL HIGH PLAINS HAS AGAIN SUPPORTED WIDESPREAD TSTM DEVELOPMENT WITHIN MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS ERN CO THIS EVENING. A MASS OF DEEP CONVECTION RESULTING FROM NUMEROUS STORM MERGERS FROM WRN CHEYENNE COUNTY SWWD TO PUEBLO COUNTY CO WILL LIKELY PRODUCE A DEEPENING COLD POOL WHICH IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT ESEWD TOWARD KS AND THE OK/TX PANHANDLES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. MESOSCALE LIFT ALONG THE EDGE OF THE COLD POOL COUPLED WITH LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND SUPPORTIVE DEEP LAYER FLOW FOR FORWARD PROPAGATION WILL MAINTAIN THE CHANCE FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME HAIL WITH THIS COMPLEX.
