.DISCUSSION...
T-STORM COMPLEX IN KS HAS A DECENT COLD POOL AND IS NOW SHOWING
SIGNS OF W-WARD DEVELOPMENT. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WHETHER IT CAN
HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT INTO OUR AREA...BUT IF IT DOES
IT WILL BE AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE ADJUSTED OVERNIGHT POPS ACCORDINGLY
AND ADJUSTED SKY GRIDS TO BETTER FIT CURRENT CONDITIONS. WIND GRIDS
TONIGHT ARE INITIALIZED OFF THE 00Z RUC. ONLY OTHER CHANGE AT THIS
TIME IS TO RAISE THE HIGHS ON MON TO FIT BETTER WITH MOS AND
NEIGHBORING OFFICES. ALTHO OUTFLOW FROM KS MCS MAY GET INTO N OK
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MON...WE THINK THERE WILL BE ENOUGH RECOVERY
TO GET TEMPS BACK INTO THE 80S. COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO REMAIN N OF
AREA UNTIL LATE TUE AT THE EARLIEST...BARRING ANY S-WARD PUSH FROM
FUTURE CONVECTION. 24
