.DISCUSSION...
1200 PM MDT WED JUN 2 2010

MODERATE-STRONG H3 FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK UNDER A
HIGH LATITUDE H5 RIDGE. SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
LARGER SCALE FLOW MAY AID IN DIURNAL TSRA DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIODS. THIS
GENERAL THEME WAS HANDLED WELL IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH ONLY
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS PLANNED AT THIS TIME.

DAYS 4 THROUGH 7...A PROGRESSIVE ZONAL FLOW REGIME MAY BEGIN TO
BREAK DOWN AS WE MOVE INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK, AND
ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH A HIGHER AMPLITUDE
RIDGE PROGGED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES/SOUTHERN PLAINS
STATES. THIS WOULD LIKELY LEAD TO RISING TEMPERATURES WITH MINIMAL
POPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND GENERALLY TRENDED TUE-WED
TOWARDS THIS SCENARIO.
