CONSIDERED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE NORTHERNMOST COUNTIES IN THE FORECAST AREA...BUT DECIDED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL THE TRACK OF THE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER IS MORE CLEAR. IF THIS CONVECTION APPEARS THAT IT WILL TRACK OVER THE SAME AREAS THAT RECEIVED HEAVIER RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS...A WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. WILL PASS THIS CONCERN ON TO THE EVENING SHIFT. FORECAST ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES ALSO INDICATE A THREAT FOR A FEW DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE OVER KANSAS/FAR WESTERN MISSOURI COUNTIES THIS EVENING...AND OVER NORTHERN COUNTIES WITH CONVECTIVE CLUSTER OVERNIGHT. SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SWING OUT OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO THE PLAINS. ENOUGH SUPPORT WILL FINALLY EXIST FOR THE FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA.
