BY MIDNIGHT...SHOWERS SHOULD LINGER ACROSS THE EASTER PORTION OF THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...WHILE CONDITIONS IMPROVE ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE A REPEAT OF TODAY...AND LIS WILL BE FORM -4 TO -6 EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE WITH CAPE VALUES OVER 2000 J/KG. BELIEVE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LIKELY EAST OF THE LARAMIE RANGE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE FROM 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. WITH THE SATURATING RAINS OF THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS...WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA. .LONG TERM...FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WHICH DEVELOPS THURSDAY EVENING WILL DECAY QUICKLY AND MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT. DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES WITH WEST COAST CUTOFF CONTINUING TO MIGRATE SOUTH ALONG THE OREGON COAST. KEPT LOW POPS IN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON BUT MAINLY OVER THE MTNS. SATURDAY WILL BE DRY DUE TO MID LEVEL WARMING/SUBSIDENCE WHICH PLACES CAP OVER LOWER ATMOSPHERE. TEMPS AROUND 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...RIDGE AXIS ALOFT WILL EXTEND FROM THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

IN ADDITION ALL MODELS HAVE HIGHER HEIGHTS ALOFT OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE MID PART OF NEXT WEEK. RESULTING SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST. AS FAR AS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY GOES...MUCH OF IT WILL DEPEND ON THE LOCATION OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARIES. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT A STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE OVER CENTRAL OR NORTHERN WYOMING AND THEN BACK INTO THE GREAT BASIN...ALMOST PARALLELING THE FLOW ALOFT. WAVES DEVELOP ON THE FRONT AT TIMES FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL EXTEND INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA...WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOIST AND UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THE FEATURE. MODELS FOR THE MOST PART KEEP THE BOUNDARY TO THE EAST OF THE CWA SO WILL KEEP THE DRY FORECAST GOING FOR NOW FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SUNDAY AND MONDAY LOOK TO BETTER DAYS FOR ANY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EAST PART OF THE CWA. BUT EVEN IF THERE IS SOME ACTIVITY THE WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT SHOULD KEEP COVERAGE BELOW THAT OF CLIMATOLOGY. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...NONE. NE...NONE. && KMD/DEMKO/WEILAND
