THIS MORNING SOME ISOLD SHOWERS AND TSTMS CONTINUE IN SOME
AREAS...AND MOST OF THE SERN PLAINS IS COVERED WITH LOW CLOUDS AND
SOME PATCHY FOG.

TODAY A LARGE UPR LOW WL GENERALLY BE CENTERED OVR SRN NV/NWRN AZ.
SHRTWV ENERGY WL ROTATE AROUND THE FRONT SIDE OF THE LOW INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW TODAY
OVR THE SRN AND SERN PORTIONS OF THE SERN PLAINS AND THE SERN PLAINS
IS STILL EXPECTED TO BRING DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR INTO THE AREA WITH A
DRYLINE SETTING UP. BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON THE DEW POINTS ON THE
NAM12 ARE IN THE 20S TO LOWER 30S OVR LAS ANIMAS AND BACA COUNTIES
AND MOST OF OTERO...BENT AND PROWERS COUNTIES...WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE EXTREME NRN PORTIONS OF THESE COUNTIES.  DEW POINTS OVR

LOW LEVELS OVR THE SERN PLAINS...WL STILL SEE SOME HIGH BASED TSTMS

TRACK OF EJECTING UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS FRIDAY
MORNING WHICH THEN CONTINUES TO SLOWLY LIFT OUT ACROSS WESTERN
KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THROUGH THE DAY
SATURDAY. CURRENT PROJECTED MOVEMENT OF SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR MUCH
BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA...ESPECIALLY THE
CENTRAL MTS AND UPPER ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY THROUGH THE PIKES PEAK
AND PALMER DVD REGION...WITH BANDED PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER
DEFORMATION ZONE...ALONG WITH DEVELOPING WRAP AROUND PRECIP AS UPPER
LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT OUT ACROSS WESTERN KANSAS WITH LATEST NAM

THE EASTERN PLAINS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
WITH THAT SAID...HAVE INCREASED POPS AREAWIDE FRIDAY TO HIGH END

ALONG WITH WET BULB ZEROS DROPPING TO AROUND 7K FEET...COULD SEE
SNOW LEVELS DROPPING TO AROUND 6K FEET EARLY FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE
LIFTING BACK TO AT OR ABOVE 9K FEET FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CURRENT GRIDS
HAVE GENERALLY 1 TO 4 INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHEST TERRAIN OF THE

NAM HAMMERS TO THE PALMER DVD LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING AND IS PRINTING OUT OVER 6 INCHES OF HEAVY WIND DRIVEN
SNOW...WHICH MAY BE A TAD OVER DONE THOUGH NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITIES AND WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FURTHER FOR POSSIBLE
HIGHLIGHTS. AT ANY RATE...WITH GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 40 MPH
EXPECTED ACROSS THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY...IT WILL BE A RAW DAY WITH
HIGHS ONLY IN THE 40S AND 50S.

SUNDAY-MONDAY...A SHORT LIVED WARMING AND DRYING TREND EXPECTED
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING ACROSS THE STATE
AHEAD OF A FAST MOVING SYSTEM DIVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
SUNDAY EVENING AND INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS MONDAY. THE LATEST
GFS IS LESS AMPLIFIED WITH THIS SYSTEM THAN THE ECMWF WHICH SENDS A
STRONG FRONT ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND PRINTS
OUT QPF ACROSS THE CENTRAL MTS THROUGH THE EASTERN MTS AND PLAINS
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. HAVE STARTED TO INCREASE POPS FOR THE
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY TIMEFRAME...AND IF THE EC SOLUTION IS MORE
