CHCS FOR PCPN TNGT/TMRW MAIN CONCERN.

APPEARS SFC BNDRY ABT TO COME TO A SLOW CRAWL OVER WRN KS. GOOD
PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO PRECURSOR OF BIGGER THINGS TO
COME LATER TNGT AND THURSDAY. FOR THE SHORTER TERM...ATTENTION IS
DRAWN ALG SFC BNDRY WCNTRL KS. LATEST RUCII HAS UPPER WAVE MVG INTO
WRN KS...AND THE TAIL END OF THIS APPARENTLY REASON FOR SOME MID LVL
COOLING NEAR WRN CWA THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...THIS WAVE LIFTS OUT TO
THE NORTHEAST...DRAWING SFC BNDRY NORTHWEST...AND NOTHING OF NOTE
UNTIL LATER TONIGHT AS MAIN UPPER SYSTEM GETS CLOSER. BOTTOM
LINE...UNLESS SOMETHING FIRES THIS EVENING CLOSE TO WRN CWA...MAY
HAVE TO AWAIT STGR DYNAMICS OF WRN SYSTEM FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION.
APPEARS MOST ACTION WILL BE EITHER LATE TONIGHT OR THURSDAY. EACH
MODEL RUN HAS BEEN A LITTLE SLOWER WITH PROGRESSION OF WRN SYSTEM.
THUS WOULD SUSPECT AT LEAST THE ERN PART OF CWA TO BE VULNERABLE TO
STG CONVECTION ALONG SFC DRY LINE ON THURSDAY. LITTLE IF ANY
CLOUDINESS EXPECTED BEHIND THIS DRY LINE ON THURSDAY...WITH COOLING
STILL LAGGING BEHIND. SO TEMPS IN D+RYER AIR ON THURSDAY INTO THE 80S
LOOK GOOD. IF LATER MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT OF BNDRY
TMRW...MAY NEED TO ADD SOME EVENING POPS ERN PTN CWA TMRW. FOR NOW
AM GOING DRY. CLEAR SAILING REST OF FCST.
