VALUES...HOWEVER.

REST OF TODAY...MARGINAL THREAT OF SVR HAS SHIFTED TO THE EAST...BUT
STILL AREAS OF 750-1000 CAPE...ESPECIALLY NR THE KS BORDER.
SO...DESPITE MODEST SHEAR...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME MARGINALLY STRONG-

SNOW LEVELS REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH...WITH THE PASSES CURRENTLY
REPORTING MID 30S THIS AFTERNOON. LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER RIDGE WILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD THROUGH TOMORROW...WHILE WEAK DISTURBANCES IN
THE FLOW ST OFF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND STORMS. WIND SHEAR
WILL REMAIN MODEST ON TUE...SO SVR THREAT WILL BE LOW. EXTREME
SE CORNER OF THE CWA WILL STILL SEE SOME MARGINALLY SVR PARAMETERS
IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT THE NAM IS INDICATING SUPPRESSED CONVECTION

THE UPR TROF IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD ON WED NIGHT
AND THU...EXTENDING FROM WRN WY INTO AZ BY 00Z FRI. THU LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER DAY OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAINLY OVR AND NR THE MTNS AREAS.
FOR FRI A BAGGY TROF WL LIE OVR THE STATE...AND A FRONT WL MOVE THRU
SERN CO.  THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO REALLY MOISTEN UP DURING THE DAY
FRI...WITH WIDESPREAD PCPN DEVELOPING AND CONTINUING FRI NIGHT.
TEMPS ON THU SHOULD DROP BACK TO BELOW AVERAGE AGAIN. THE UPR TROF
