LOOKING AHEAD...FORECAST CHALLENGES DO EXIST ON HOW TO HANDLE SOUTHERN PLAINS CONVECTION AND EXPECTED DRY SLOT. BASED LARGELY UPON THE ORIENTATION OF THE H8 THETA E RIDGE...GFS WOULD SUGGEST LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD BE REDUCED...YET THE MODEL MAINTAINS SUBSTANTIAL QPF. NAM ON THE OTHER HAND HAS A SLOWER EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MCS...A GOOD FETCH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI...YET REDUCES QPF TOO MUCH PERHAPS DUE TO OVER EMPHASIZING THE DRY SLOTS ARRIVAL AS EARLY AS 9Z OVER THE WESTERN CWA. CONSIDERING FACTORS INCLUDING CURRENT RAIN RATES...EXTENT OF UPPER DIVERGENCE AND LOW LEVEL SATURATED FLOW...AND THAT THE THETA E RIDGE WILL REMAIN AHEAD OF THE PLAINS CONVECTION...EXPECT WIDESPREAD 1.5 TO 3 INCH RAIN AMOUNTS BEFORE DRY SLOT CAN MAKE ITS IMPACT.
