.DISCUSSION...

IMPRESSIVE BOUNDARY HAS SET UP ACRS MIDWEST INCLUDING NRN MO EAST
INTO CNTRL IL.  TSTMS HAVE BROKEN OUT ALG OLD OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM
LAST NIGHTS MCS AND NMRS STORMS HAVE HAIL IN THEM ALREADY.  LOOKS
LIKE AN ACTIVE NGT FOR SVR WX. HAD THOUGHTS OF A FLOOD WATCH FOR
NRN COUNTIES BUT SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE THE FRONT RETREATING
NORTH WITH PCPN ACTIVITY NORTH OF OUR AREA SO WILL WAIT SO SEE
WHAT EVOLVES.

DEEP CLOSD LOW OVR CNTRL ROCKIES FCST TO EJECT NEWD WITH A FEW
SHORT WAVES LIFTING NEWD IN FRONT OF IT.  SOME STORMS WILL BE
SVR THIS EVE BUT 70 PLUS DWPTS HAVE BEEN POOLING ALONG THE FRONT
AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE 1.25 TO 1.50 SO PCPN PRODUCTION
WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT.

TOO BUSY WITH SVR WX TO DISCUSS ADDITIONAL PERIODS ATTM.
