A 60 M H6 HEIGHT FALL. AT H85...MOISTURE HAD BEEN PUSHED EWD BY

UPPR TROF TO OUR WEST. LO LVL WINDS ON AREA PROFILERS INDCS
MOISTURE WHICH HAS BEEN PUSHED E OF THE FA BY THE TROF PASSAGE IS
STARTING TO COME BACK AS THESE LO LVL WINDS BACK. THIS CAN ALSO BE
SEEN WITH THE INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVR KS ATTM. THUS
RAIN TONIGHT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET AS A LO LVL JET OF 45 KTS
DVLPNGS FM NRN OK INTO NRN KS. THUS WE EXPECT THIS CONVECTION OVR
KS TO CONT TO LIFT TO THE NWD THRU THE EVENING HOURS...AND INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. 18Z KOAX SOUNDING INDCS WEAK
INSTABILITY...BUT A MOISTENING PROFILE. THUS SVR WX THREAT LOOKS
LO THIS EVNG AS ATMOSPHERE CONTS TO BE WORKED-OVR GOOD FM LAST
NIGHTS STORMS. SOME INCREASE IN STORM INTENSITY IS LIKELY BY LATE

BECOME LESS CERTAIN AS UPPR LVL LO OVR NM STARTS TO EJECT NEWD

BRING AN INCREASE IN SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY BY MON NIGHT AGAIN MAINLY
OVR THE SRN FA. WITH THIS UPPR LVL LO SLOWLY CROSSING THE AREA THRU
THURS...WLD EXPECT THE CHC OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
TO CONT THRU THEN. GENERALLY PREFER THE EC AND CANADIAN WITH THE
MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...WHICH WAS ALSO PREFERRED BY THE HPC.
THUS HAVE INSERTED SOME POPS FOR THE WED INTO THURS TIME FRAME.

WEAKEN WITH TIME...AND THUS FLOODING CONCERNS FM ADDITIONAL
