.PREV DISCUSSION...
VERY TRICKY FORECAST TODAY WITH SEVERAL MESOSCALE FEATURES IMPACTING
THE FORECAST. OVERALL PATTERN DEPICTED BY NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER DESERT SOUTHWEST. AS
THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW BECOMES SHEARED APART...SEVERAL PIECES OF
ENERGY ARE EXPECT TO APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING. SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER NORTHEAST MONTANA WILL
SHIFT EAST TODAY AND ASSOCIATE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FORECAST
AREA...BUT MORE ON THAT IN A BIT.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO WARM AIR
ADVECTION ALOFT. LOW LEVEL DRY AIR WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR PRECIP
TO REACH THE GROUND...OR REALLY AMOUNT TO MUCH. BAND OF WARM AIR
ADVECTION LIFTS TO THE NORTH BY MID MORNING...AND EXPECT ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO FOLLOW SUIT. FOCUS THEN TURNS TOWARDS SHORT WAVE
CURRENTLY ACROSS NORTHEASTERN COLORADO.  WAVE FAIRLY EVIDENT ON
WATER VAPOR...AND IS EXPECTED TO ZIP INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA BY 18Z.
QUESTIONS REMAIN AS TO WHETHER THIS WAVE WILL BE ABLE TO IGNITE
CONVECTION...AND FOR NOW HAVE BROADBRUSHED POPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
PERIODIC WEAK JET STREAKS ALSO PASS THROUGH FORECAST AREA
TODAY...PROVIDING ENHANCED AREAS OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.  MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THAT CONVECTION WILL HOLD OFF TIL THE MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE APPROACH FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...WITH CAPE INCREASING TO 1000-1500 J/KG. SHEAR PROFILES
DEPICT DECENT SPEED SHEAR...WITH SOME DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AS WELL.
SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT...WHICH MAY
EVOLVE INTO MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS. CAN NOT RULE OUT A QUICK SPIN UP OR
TWO SUPERCELLS GIVEN SHEAR PROFILES...BUT FEEL THE MAIN SEVERE
THREAT WILL BE HAIL WITH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS AROUND 7000-8000 FEET
AGL.

COLD FRONT WORKS THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH CONVECTION
REMAINING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BREEZY MIXY DAY EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY
WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS.

TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY COOL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK WITH EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW DOMINATING THE PATTERN.  WAVE
CURRENTLY OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EXPECTED TO MOVE INLAND AND
AFFECT FORECAST AREA ON THURSDAY. THIS IS FASTER THAN MODELS
PREVIOUSLY INDICATED...AND FOLLOWED PROGRESSION OF THE GFS AND
CANADIAN WITH THIS SYSTEM MORE THAN THE ECMWF.  WITH LOW
CLOUDS...EASTERLY FLOW AND POOR MIXING CONDITIONS...HAVE CUT HIGHS
BACK INTO THE 50S.

FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE AN IN-BETWEEN DAY AS OPEN WAVE TROUGH MOVES
THROUGH THE ROCKIES AFFECTING FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE FIRST HALF
OF THE WEEKEND.
