.DISCUSSION...
ISOLD TRW ONGOING ACRS NE SD INTO SW MN JUST NE OF SFC FNT AND S/W
SLIDING SEWD THRU NE SD ATTM. SO WL NEED TO KEEP SMALL POPS NE OF A
BKX/MWM LINE THRU 14Z. SHUD WARM UP NICELY TODAY AGAIN WITH HIGHS IN
THE 80S TO LOWER 90S WITH GUSTY S WNDS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF
APPROACHING CDFNT. AIRMASS BECOMES UNSTABLE AGAIN BY LATE AFTN ACRS
FAR WRN CWA AS NEXT S/W DROPS SEWD INTO WRN DAKOTAS. WUD EXPECT SCT
TRW TO FIRE UP ALONG FNT ACRS CNTRL SD AND THEN SPREAD SEWD
OVERNIGHT. EXPECTING TRW TO REMAIN W OF I29 THRU MIDNIGHT AND THEN
SPREAD EWD ACRS REST OF CWA. DEF A THREAT FOR SVR WX LATE AFTN AND
OVERNIGHT WITH LINE OF BKN TRW PBLY DEVELOPING AHEAD OF FNT AS NIGHT
PROGRESSES. MAIN SVR THREAT INIT WL BE LARGE HAIL AND PSBLY AN ISOLD
TOR ACRS  WRN CWA AND THEN EVOLVING MORE INTO A PSBL SVR WIND EVENT
AS THE STORMS APPROACH I29.

SUN BECOMES MORE QUESTIONABLE AS MODELS ARE A LTL FASTER WITH FNT.
IF DECENT LINE OF STORMS DEVELOP TONIGHT...FNT EFFECTIVELY CUD PUSH
THRU MOST OF CWA BY NOON ON SUN. IF THIS DOES OCCUR...BEST CHC FOR
ANY TRW REDEVELOPMENT ON SUN WUD BE ACRS NW IA. SINCE MOST OF THE
MODELS ARE INDICATING A FASTER SOLUTION...WL TRIM BACK POPS ACRS NW
CWA ON SUN WITH BEST CHC ACRS NW IA. CUD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SVR WX
SUN AFTN ACRS NW IA AHEAD OF THIS FNT. ACTIVITY SHUD QUICLY EXIT CWA
SUN EVE AS FNT CONTS TO MOVE SEWD. TEMPS WL BE COOLER ACRS CWA ON
SUN WITH CAA BEHIND FNT AND MORE CLOUD COVER.

MODELS SLIDE WEAK S/W ACRS NE LATE MON AFTN AND NIGHT. EC MOST
AGRESSIVE AND IS A LTL FURTHER N. FOR NOW WL KEEP SMALL POPS ACRS
FAR SRN CWA FOR THAT TIME PD...BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO PUSH
THREAT UP TO I90 FOR MON NITE IF THIS WAVE DOES TRACK A LTL FURTHER
N. BEYOND MON NITE...MODELS NOT MUCH IN AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF FNT
FOR MID WEEK AND WL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES FOR NOW. STILL LOOKS LIKE
BEST CHC FOR ANY PRECIP WL BE LATER TUES NITE OR WED WITH BEST CHC
ACRS THE N. TEMPS SHUD REMAIN WARM MOST OF NEXT WEEK.
