200 PM MDT MON JUL 12 2010

FORECAST CONCERNS INCLUDE HOW HOT IT WILL GET TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION...AMOUNTS AND
THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRESENTLY OVER THE AREA WILL DISSIPATE
BY MIDNIGHT WITH STRATUS/PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE EAST OF A MCCOOK TO
HILL CITY LINE PER NAM/RUC BOUNDARY LAYER RH.

HOT TEMPERATURES STILL EXPECTED TUESDAY WITH HIGHS IN EXCESS OF
100 DEGREES WITH A FEW AREAS LIKELY AROUND OR HIGHER THEN 105 PER
850 TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY HILL CITY WHERE READINGS COULD BE
CLOSER TO 110 DEGREES. 2M/MOS GUIDANCE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY
CLIMB AS WELL BUT MAY STILL BE UNDERDONE. MAY SEE A STORM OR TWO
DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG SFC CONVERGENCE AREA GENERALLY EAST OF
THE CO/KS BORDER...FOR NOW HAVE SILENT POPS. WILL NEED TO WATCH
HEAT INDICES TUESDAY NIGHT FROM MCCOOK TO GOVE AND POINTS EAST AS
RIGHT NOW HAVE HEAT INDICES IN THE 70-73 DEGREE RANGE...JUST BELOW
THE 75 DEGREE CRITERIA FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING.

FOR SOME...HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY WITH A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND INCREASE IN 700-300RH MOVING IN AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER HIGH OVER ARKANSAS. WILL SHOOT FOR MID 90S
ACROSS THE NORTH...LOW 100S ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE MOISTURE INTERACTS
WITH THE FRONT. SLOW STORM MOTIONS WILL ALSO FAVOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN AS PRECIP WATER ABOVE NORMAL.

COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH A CONTINUED THREAT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AS 700-300 MOISTURE AND SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY LEAD
TO A LOW CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. SLOW MOVERS AND ABOVE NORMAL
PRECIP WATER WILL MAINTAIN A HEAVY RAIN THREAT.

FRIDAY-MONDAY...UPPER RIDGE STRENGTHENS OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA
WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHEAST ALLOWING AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. MAY SEE A
STORM OR TWO ACROSS THE NORTHEAST-EAST WHERE A DISTURBANCE IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE DOWN FROM NEBRASKA. ON SATURDAY 700-300 MOISTURE
INCREASES AS A DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA PROVIDING A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
WARM TOWARD 100 DEGREES. SUNDAY AND MONDAY LOOK DRY AS THE UPPER
HIGH SLIDES EAST TOWARD THE CENTRAL PLAINS PUSHING THE STORM TRACK
TO THE NORTH. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 90S.
