CAPE VALUES OF 2500-3500 J/KG ARE FORECAST OVR PORTIONS OF THE SERN PLAINS TUE AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO ONLY BE AROUND 7C/KM AND 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE 20-30KT.

MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL TUESDAY EVENING AND AGAIN LATE WEDNESDAY. AS MENTIONED IN SHRT TERM DISC...HIGH CAPE WILL BE PRESENT OVR MUCH OF THE PLAINS DUE TO HIGH DEWPTS ALREADY IN PLACE. PERSISTENT POST-FRONTAL UPSLOPE FLOW WILL HELP DRIVE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER THE EAST SLOPES OF THE MTS...AND THIS WILL SPREAD EWD TO THE PLAINS BY EVENING.

BY SUN THE GFS BUILDS A 598 DM HIGH OVR THE 4 CORNERS. THIS SOLUTION IS BACKED BY THE ECMWF. IF THIS VERIFIES...LOOKS LIKE THE START OF AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT WEATHER LEADING UP TO THE 4TH OF JULY. ROSE && .AVIATION...
