.PREV DISCUSSION...
FAIRLY MESSY FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WITH A PAIR OF WAVES TO DEAL WITH.
FIRST IS THE EXITING SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN CWA...WHICH SHOULD
PROVIDE SOME SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
SOUTHWEST MN INTO NORTHWEST IA EARLY IN THE EVENING. THE SECOND IS A
STRONGER SYSTEM THAT IS MOVING ONTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN
CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH THIS FEATURE AND SHOULD WORK INTO THE AREA
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS. DRY SLOT WILL WORK INTO THE SOUTHERN
CWA BY LATE TONIGHT AND SHOULD AID IN ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF IT. TROP HEIGHTS ALSO SUGGEST
BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION AFTER ABOUT 03Z. NO MAJOR DEVIATIONS
FROM GUIDANCE LOWS TONIGHT.

STRONG SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE THE MAIN PLAYER TOMORROW CREATING THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. DRY SLOT WILL WORK INTO THE WESTERN
CWA IN THE MORNING HOURS.  ATMOSPHERE WILL DESTABILIZE ALONG AND
AHEAD OF DRY LINE RESULTING IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE MID
AFTERNOON HOURS ALONG AND EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY. STRONG
WIND SHEAR WILL RESULT IN RAPID CELL MOVEMENT. WITH FAIRLY STRONG
DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR  A TORNADO OR TWO MAINLY WITH INITIAL
CELL DEVELOPMENT. EXPECT CELLS TO RAPIDLY EVOLVE INTO A SQUALLINE
WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING STRONG DAMAGING WINDS...THOUGH COULD HAVE
SOME HAILERS IN THERE AS WELL.

WRAP AROUND STRATUS AND INSTABILITY SHOWERS WORKS INTO THE NORTHERN
2/3 OF THE CWA ON SUNDAY...KEEPING TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE NORTH.
FURTHER SOUTH...LIMITED AMOUNTS OF CLOUDS COUPLED WITH COLD AIR
ADVECTION SHOULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT MIXING...AND HAVE KEPT
FORECASTED HIGHS ON SUNDAY IN NW IOWA IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70.

THAT WILL BE THE LAST OF MILD TEMPERATURES FOR A WHILE AS THE COLD
AIR CONTINUES TO POUR INTO THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF OF TROUGH.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION AND BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING...CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS SHOULD RESULT IN A FAIRLY COOL
CRISP  EARLY AUTUMN MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND SOME ON
WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT WAVE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST.  MODELS
HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT WITH THE PATH OF THIS WAVE...BUT
HAVE SIDED MORE WITH A SOUTHERN TRACK WHICH KEEPS THE BULK OF THE
FORCING SOUTH OF THE CWA. HAVE ADDED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON
THURSDAY...MAINLY SOUTH OF I-90...BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO BE REFINED
AS THE PATH OF THE WAVE BECOMES MORE CLEAR.
