FORCING WILL FOLLOW THIS LINE HOWEVER...AND REDEVELOPMENT WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THE MO RIVER VALLEY BY LATE MORNING. THE EAST WILL
LIKELY SEE SOME HEATING EARLY IN THE DAY...WITH SURFACE BASED MIXED
LAYER CAPES RANGING FROM 1000-2000 J/KG IN THE AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER
SHEAR VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 25-35 KTS IN THE EAST THIS

FRONTOGENESIS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE RATHER STRONG.
THIS...COUPLED WITH GOOD UPPER DIVERGENCE AHEAD OF RIGHT FRONT
QUADRANT OF JET AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...WILL LEAD TO A
GOOD CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON.
SREF MEAN FROM 21Z AND THE 00Z WRF DO HAVE THIS SYSTEM PROGRESSING
A LITTLE SLOWER THAN THE OPERATIONAL 00Z MODELS. SO HAVE LEANED
TOWARD A TAD SLOWER SOLUTION. THIS SYSTEM EXITS THE EAST DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND SUBSIDENCE DOMINATING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE MAY RIDE OVER
THE RIDGE AND INTO THE AREA. KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE IN FOR THE AREA
FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THE MODELS IN THE LONG TERM WITH THE
LARGE SCALE FLOW PATTERN. THE PERIOD BEGINS WITH A LARGE RIDGE OF
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST WITH A GOOD UPPER CLOSED LOW MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. MODELS INDICATE THAT A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MAY BE
AFFECTING THE CWA...MAINLY EAST...ON THURSDAY. OTHERWISE...THE
UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY BEGINS TO FLATTEN OUT THROUGH THE FORECAST AS THE
UPPER LOW OUT WEST MOVES INTO THE REGION. WITH PLENTY OF ENERGY WITH
THIS WAVE ALONG WITH AN EAST/WEST SURFACE BOUNDARY...MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY...WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE OF TSRAS FOR FRIDAY
