.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

OBVIOUS NEAR TERM CONCERN IS SVR POTENTIAL THIS EVENING. CELLS
CURRENTLY OVER SC NEB TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WEAK CAP IN PLACE. HOWEVER
18Z KOMA/KTOP SOUNDINGS SHOWED A TIGHT LID...BUT LATEST RUC
ADVERTISING CAP OVER CWA SHOULD WEAKEN SHORTLY. RUC CONTINUES TO
FOCUS BEST COMPOSITE PARAMETERS MUCAPE/EFF SHEAR ACCOMPANYING
ANTICIPATED FROPA EARLY THIS EVENING. UNTIL THEN A FEW SVR CELLS WILL
PROBABLY POP UP OVER OUR NEB CWA. CURRENT OBS PLACE COLD FRONT FROM
ABOUT KSUX TO ABOUT KHJH...AND TIME SERIES INDICATE FRONT SHOULD
CLEAR THE CWA ABOUT 01Z-02Z TIME FRAME. AT THIS POINT STILL THINK OUR
IA CWA WILL BE A BEST RISK TO SEE SVR ACTIVITY EARLY IN THE EVENING
WITH MODELS INDICATING ENVIRONMENT ABLE TO SUPPORT TORS. ON WED...
UPPER TROF SHIFTS EAST AND ALLOWS A RE-REINFORCING SHOT OF CAA TO
SLIDE SWD INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS. APPEARS THAT FORCING IS RATHER WEAK.
LACK OF UPPER LVL QVECT CONVG AND RELATIVELY WEAK OMEGA SUGGESTING
CAA PRETTY MUCH OVERCOMING AND POTENTIAL LIFT VIA DPVA. THUS HAVE
DECIDED TO LAY ONLY SMALL TOKEN POPS ALONG THERMAL GRADIENT SETTING
UP ALONG THE NEB/SD BORDER DURING THE MORNING...THEN RAIN IN THE

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

A RETURN TO COLDER TEMPERATURES IS INDICATED IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD
WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW POSSIBLE FOR SATURDAY AND AGAIN SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY OR TUESDAY DEPENDING ON THE CHOICE OF MODEL.
00Z ECMWF MUCH STRONGER AND A BIT SLOWER WITH ITS UPPER WAVES AND
MORNING GUIDANCE FROM HPC TENDS TO FOLLOW THIS SOLUTION. THE ECMWF
ALSO WANTS TO HANG ON TO THE COLDER TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY DUE TO
ITS STRONGER WAVE IDEA COMPARED TO 12Z GFS.

THE EVENING HOURS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AT ALL 3
SITES HOWEVER ONLY MENTIONED A TEMPO -TSRA CHANCE AT KOMA WHERE
CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER AND LEFT MENTION OUT OF BOTH KOFK AND KLNK. A
COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY PUSH THRU THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING TURNING
SFC WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST AND FAIRLY GUSTY FOR A BIT. KOFK MAY GO
