PREFERRED THE GFS SOLUTION AS IT MADE MORE METEOROLOGICAL SENSE...DIGGING THE SYSTEM SOUTHWARD ALONG WEST CONUS COASTLINE IN STRONG JET MAX ON BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM. MEANWHILE...IN THE SHORT TERM...LOOKING AT THREE DISTINCT S/WS IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THE FIRST IS LIFTING INTO EASTERN NODAK AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ONGOING EASTERN CWA CONVECTION THIS MORNING. A SECOND WAVE WAS BACK OVER WYOMING...LIFTING NEWD...AND HAS HELPED SET OFF MORE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SE MT AND FAR WESTERN SODAK. THIS WAVE SHOULD LIFT ACROSS WESTERN DAKOTAS THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS...SO HAVE INCLUDED A SLT CHANCE POP TO COVER THIS AS LEE-SIDE TROF/COLD FRONT STILL HUNG UP OUT THERE AND WOULD SERVE AS NEEDED FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONVECTION. A WEAKER THIRD WAVE WAS SEEN ROUNDING THE BASE OF WESTERN CONUS LONGWAVE TROF AND IS EXPECTED TO BE IMPACTING CENTRAL AND EASTERN CWA BY EARLY EVENING. THIS WAVE IS EXPECTED TO ADD NEEDED MID-LEVEL ASCENT TO FIRE OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF T-STORMS THIS EVENING OVER THE EASTERN CWA.
