320 PM CDT SUN OCT 14 2007

.DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP() MID-UPR DECK LOW MOVING SLOWLY NE OVER ERN CO PLAYING VITAL ROLE
IN SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER SRN/CENTRAL PLAINS THIS EVENING.
STRONG-SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BROKEN OUT ALONG WRN CORRIDOR &
THIS WAS EXPECTED CONSIDERING THESE AREAS ARE BENEATH LEFT-EXIT REGION OF
100KT 300-MB JET MAX. ALTHOUGH DIRECTIONAL DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS LACKING
DEEP-LAYER SPEED IS NOT (50KTS) & WITH MLCAPES 1500 LARGE HAIL (UP TO
GOLFBALL-SIZED AND DAMAGING WINDS OF 70-80 MPH ARE LIKELY OVER CENTRAL &
SC KS THIS EVENING WHERE SVR #703 IS IN EFFECT TIL 9 PM CDT.

TONIGHT:
WITH IMPRESSIVE MID-UPR SUPPORT INTERACTING STRNG N/NE SFC-850MB MOIST-
URE MIGRATION WILL GO ALMOST FULL-THROTTLE ON POPS OVER MOST OF CENTRAL
& SC KS WHERE 80-90% ASSIGNED. AS AFORE-MENTIONED MID-UPR DECK LOW LIFTS
ACROSS CO/KS BORDER GREATEST STRONG (& POSSIBLY A FEW SEVERE) TSRA WILL
SHIFT E TARGETING SE KS LATE TONIGHT WHERE 90-100% POPS ASSIGNED.

MON & MON NIGHT:
WITH MID-UPR LOW STRENGTHENING GRADUALLY AS IT LIFTS SLOWLY ACROSS KS/
NEBRASKA BORDER ATTENDANT COLD FRONT WILL SURGE E ACROSS SE KS THEREBY
BRINGING FAIRLY QUICK END TO CONVECTION BY EARLY MON EVENING. ONSET OF
WLY LWR DECK COMP SHOULD TEMP DROP IN CHECK WITH LOWS OF 45-50 EXPECTED
MOST AREAS.

TUE & TUE NIGHT:
AFTER BRIEF INTERMISSION TSRA RETURN TO PRIMARILY NW CORRIDOR WHERE
CLOSEST GRADUALLY INCREASING SFC-850MB SPEED CONVERGENT AXIS & WHERE
ALSO ALIGNED WITH STRONG LWR-DECK MOISTURE ADVECTION. SUCH CONVECTION
TO BE FURTHER AIDED BY GRADUALLY DEEPENING MID-UPR TROF MOVING E ACROSS
CO/NM THATLL PROVIDE INCREASING MID-UPR DIFFLUENCE OVER THESE AREAS.

WED-NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT:
ANTICIPATE AN ACTIVE PERIOD AS TWO STRONG MID-UPR LONG-WAVE TROFS SURGE
IN ELY MANNER ACROSS SRN PLAINS. THE 1ST SUCH MID-UPR TROF IS SCHEDULED
TO CROSS THESE AREAS WED & WED NIGHT THEREBY INDUCING INTENSE SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS OVER CO/KS BORDER. IN RESPONSE STRONG NE LWR-DECK MOISTURE
MIGRATION ENSUES & WITH ARRIVAL OF STRONG MID-UPR SUPPORT 40-60% POPS
BEING ASSIGNED WED WITH THE HIGHER POPS ASSIGNED TO SE KS WHERE BETTER
ALIGNED WITH MOISTURE AXIS & GREATEST UPR-DECK DIFFLUENCE. PRONOUNCED
PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF UPR PATTERN SHOULD LIMIT SIGNIFICANT TSRA CHANCES
(40-50% FOR A DAY 4 FORECAST) TO FAR SE KS WED NIGHT.

LATE THU NIGHT & FRI A 2ND MID-UPR TROF STRENGTHENS RAPIDLY AS IT SURGES
E IN ALMOST IDENTICAL TRACK AS ITS PREDECESSOR. ONE POTENTIAL INHIBITOR
TO SIGNIFICANT TSRA DEVELOPMENT IS THAT WITH SUCH A RAPID SUCCESSION OF
POTENT SYSTEMS MAY PREVENT SUFFICENT FUEL FROM RETURNING TO SC & SE KS.
PER THIS REASON HAVE TAKEN CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO POPS BY ASSIGNING
15-20% POPS TO SE KS THU-FRI.
