QPF DEVELOPMENT NORTHEAST WITH THE RUC THE DRIEST. NEAR TERM
FORECAST FOLLOWS A MODEL BLEND WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE
CONVECTION OVER WCNTRL WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NORTHEAST THROUGH
EARLY MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS AND MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO SURGE NORTH.

AT 07Z THE SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A SEMI STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS
THE DAKOTAS AND LEE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH ON THE HIGH PLAINS
THROUGH EASTERN COLORADO. A WARM FRONT EXTENDED SOUTHEAST FOR THE
LOW CENTER NEAR LHX TO ACROSS OK. SURFACE DEWPOINTS WERE INTO THE
LOWER 60S ACROSS SCNTRL NEB. THE H85 PROFILER WINDS HAVE VEERED

NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST CLOUD LINE VISIBLE EARLIER ON IR SATELLITE
IMAGERY HAS BECOME LESS DEFINED WHILE RADAR SHOWS BOUNDARY LIFTING
NORTHWEST ATTM. CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST TO LIFT NORTH
NORTHEAST WITH BOUNDARY TO BECOME PRIMARY FOCUS FOR STORMS EARLY
THIS MORNING AS H7 SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES EAST. PRECIPITABLE WATER
RATIOS REACH AROUND AN INCH TODAY WITH STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL BY LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE

ERODES THROUGH 4 PM AS INSTABILITY INCREASES WITH CAPE OVER 2000
J/KG AT KLBF. CONVECTION EARLY WILL BE ELEVATED WITH WIND AND
SMALL HAIL PRIMARY THREATS. THIS AFTERNOON AS CAP WEAKENS
STORMS SHOULD REDEVELOP WITH A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE EVENING AS FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND

ALOFT WILL CARRY A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EAST. TIMING THE
SURFACE BOUNDARIES EAST WILL BE A CHALLENGE WITH LOW POPS ADJUSTED
THAT WILL NEED FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS AS FRONT THAT BACKS WEST TO THE
FRONT RANGE WEDNESDAY RETURNS NORTHEAST THURSDAY. THE UNSETTLED
PATTERN CONTINUES UNTIL SUNDAY WITH CHANCE OF STORMS DAILY UNTIL
THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST POSSIBLY MONDAY TO THE PLAINS. THE
H85 THERMAL RIDGE STRENGTHENS IN THE NEAR TERM WITH TEMPERATURES
