.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

WV IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON DEPICTING THE NEXT SYSTEM OF CONCERN ALONG
THE PAC NW COAST LINE WHILE UPPER RIDGING PREVAILED OVER THE
NRN/CNTRL PLAINS. AT THE SFC...STRONG THERMAL GRADIENT PRESENT FROM
THE NEB PANHANDLE TO SRN KS TO NRN MO. NORTH OF THE BNDRY TEMPS WERE
IN THE GENERALLY IN THE MID 50S WITH EXTENSIVE AREA OF LOW CLOUDS
OVER NEB/IA/DAKOTAS/MN. MEANWHILE...LOW 90S FOUND JUST SOUTH OF THE
SFC BNDRY. FOR TONIGHT...HAVE ADDED SMALL POPS OVER PORTIONS OF THE
CWA FOR POSSIBLE ELEVATED CONVECTION. DESPITE NIL UPPER SUPPORT...
LIFT PROVIDED IS PROGGED TO BE QUITE STRONG WITH STOUT 310K MOIST
UPGLIDE. POSITIONING OF NOSE OF LLVL SUGGESTS PORTIONS OF THE
NRN/ERN CWA MOST AT RISK FOR THUNDER. ON MONDAY NRN SHORTWAVE TROF
USHERS IN THE NEXT COLD FRONT INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS BY LATE AFTN OR
EARLY EVENING. BRUNT OF LIFT DOESN'T BECOME A FACTOR UNTIL LATE
MONDAY NIGHT WHEN FROPA SHOULD RESULT IN SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDER.
HAVE KEPT PCPN CHANCES IN TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT FOR THE SRN
CWA DUE TO SFC BNDRY HANGING UP AND REMAINING INVOF THE SRN CWA.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

SOMEWHAT COMPLEX SITUATION IN THE EXTENDED PDS TRYING TO PEG DOWN
BEST PCPN CHANCES...AND DIVERGING MODEL SOLUTIONS NOT HELPING
EITHER. NEEDLESS TO SAY CONFIDENCE IS LOW AND OPTING TO GENERALLY
FOLLOW GFS/ECM COMPROMISE. 500MB HGT FALLS PRECEDING DEEP WRN CONUS
TROF COMBINED WITH STRENGTHENING LOW/MID LVL WAA BEGINS TO INDUCE
SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT OVER THE AREA BY WED AFTN. INCREASING DPVA
RESULTS IN SFC CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE CNTRL HIGH PLAINS AS WELL AS
DRAWING GULF MOIST NWD INTO THE REGION. SFC FRONT EXTENDING FROM
THE SFC LOW STRENGTHENS ALONG THE SD/NEB BOARDER...EVENTUALLY LIFTING
INTO THE DAKOTAS/UPPER MIDWEST WED EVENING. ON THURSDAY ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT SWEEPS INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS. AMPLE MOISTURE AND SERIES OF
FROPAS SHOULD LEAD TO REASONABLE CHANCE FOR PCPN ACTIVITY WED NITE
AND THURSDAY. ALSO...OVERLAPPING PARAMETERS FAVORABLE FOR SVR STORMS
ARE FOR THE MOST ADVERTISED BY BOTH GFS/ECM WED AFTN. DRY PERIOD ON
FRIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM PUSHES INTO THE REGION. BIG
DIFFERENCES DISPLAYED WITH THIS FEATURE. ECM BRINGS A WELL AMPLIFIED
TROF EXTENDING FROM THE DAKOTAS TO THE SRN HIGH PLAINS. GFS ON THE
OTHER HAND HAS LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE SITUATED OVER SRN CAN/DAKOTAS. DID
NOTICE THOUGH THE CMC IS COMPLIMENTING THE GFS SOLUTION. IN ANY
CASE...THINK SMALL TOKEN POPS ARE REASONABLE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. OTHERWISE...AM THINKING TEMPS OVERALL WILL REMAIN
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE FCST PD.

.AVIATION...
TAF SITES OFK/KOMA/KLNK

18Z TAFS

LOW CLOUDS CONTINUED TO BLANKET THE TAF SITES INTO MID AFTERNOON. AS
THE WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH...LOW CLOUDS SHOULD DECREASE.
BUT TIMING THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT IS UNCERTAIN HOW MUCH FOG THERE WILL
BE WHEN THE LOW CLOUDS MOVE OUT. IT SHOULD BECOME VFR AT ALL OF THE
SITES BY 15Z MONDAY...WHEN A MUCH WARMER AND DRIER AIRMASS MOVES IN
WITH GUSTY SOUTH WINDS. KEPT A MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT ALL
SITES LATER AS WINDS ALOFT WILL BE INCREASING OVERNIGHT.
