DESPITE HEATG/CAP BUSTING NATURE OF THE START OF THIS ACTVTY ERYR FRTHR W...PARAMETERS FOR NIGHTTIME DVLPMNT SEEM TO BE GRDLY TAKING OVER.LTL CHANGE NEEDED IN WNDS AND TEMPS. .PREV DISCUSSION... UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN US LOOKS TO REMAIN WELL ESTABLISHED OVER THE NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. SFC BDRY ALNG THE NEB/SD BORDER EWD INTO IA ATTM. DPS HAVE DROPPED A TAD N OF THIS BNDRY ESPEC ACRS NERN CWA WHERE SFC FLOW IS NWLY. WUD EXPECT THIS DRYING TO BE TEMP THIS EVE AND THEN DPS WL GRADUALLY INCREASE AS FLOW BECOME MORE ESELY IN RESPONSE TO S/W COMING OUT OF NR ROCKIES INTO NRN PLAINS LATER TONIGHT. THIS SHUD ALSO BEGING TO LIFT FNT BACK SLOWLY N TOWARDS I90 BY MORNING. QUESTION IS WHETHER ANY CONVECTION CAN GET GOING THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT. APPEARS TO BE A WEAK S/W THIS EVENING OVR WRN NEB LIFTING NEWD. AM CONCERNED THIS CUD TRIGGER A FEW TRW BY LATE AFTN OR ERLY EVE ACRS FAR SWRN CWA. SO WL CONT SMALL POPS WRN CWA SWRN CWA.

WITH STRONGER S/W MOVING IN WRN CWA LATE TONIGHT...CAN NOT RULE OUT DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW HIGH BASED TRW MAINLY W OF I29. SO DID KEEP THE SMALL POPS IN. LOW TEMPS TONIGHT WL BE COOLEST ACRS E WHERE SOME DRIER AIR MOVG IN AND WNDS WL REMAIN LIGHT. FAIRLY STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AT 850 MB TOMORROW MAY RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACCAS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. EXPECT ANY ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS TO UNDERGO DIURNAL TREND. HOWEVER...RIDGE RIDER POSITIONED JUST TO THE NORTH MAY KEEP ACTIVITY GOING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS IN NORTHEASTERN CWA. EXPECT CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ACTIVITY TO KEEP TEMPS DOWN. IF ACCAS FAIL TO DEVELOP...GOING TEMPS WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE WITH 850 MB TEMPS AROUND 23C. COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW IN SOUTHERN CANADA SLOWLY WORKS SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA ON SATURDAY. NOT A LOT OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT...SO SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH IT WILL GET. MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THAT IT MAY POTENTIALLY GET AS FAR SOUTH AS THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR...BUT FEEL THAT IS OVERDONE SOME. FRONT LIFTS NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ON SUNDAY AS A SHORTWAVE TOPS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE IDEA OF SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ALONG THE FRONT. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE LOOKS TO STRENGTHEN AGAIN NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN MAINLY WARM DRY CONDITIONS. SUITE OF MODELS SHOWING A FAIRLY STRONG DISTURBANCE ATTEMPT TO KNOCK DOWN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ON TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AND HAVE INCLUDED SOME POPS FOR THIS TIME FRAME.
