FF CONSIDERATIONS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER TROUGH TO THE WEST FROM
E WASHINGTON TO AZ WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS VERY UNSEASONABLY STRONG
(140KTS OFF THE WA COAST AND 100KTS OVER SE CA) UPPER LEVEL WINDS ON
WEST SIDE MIGRATE INTO AND AROUND THE TROUGH.  DEEPENING APPEARS TO
BE OCCURRING S UT/N AZ AND IS ALREADY PROVIDING VORTS OUT ON THE EAST
SIDE TO ACT OF DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTING FROM CENTRAL TEXAS.  TWO MAIN
CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES THAT WILL CONTINUE TO ADD WATER TO MOIST SOILS...
NE COLORADO FROM KIT CARSON TO SEDGWICK WITH SPILLOVER POSSIBILITIES
NEXT FEW HRS INTO SW NEBRASKA COUNTIES.  MOISTURE TRANSPORT EXCELLENT
AND WILL SUSTAIN CONVECTION...LITLE MORE STABLE THE FURTHER EAST...SO
NOT SURE HOW EAST CONVECTION WILL GET INTO NW KS AND W NEBRASKA...
BUT CERTAINLY WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THRU 06Z.    OTHER AREA ACROSS EASTERN
WY FROM W LARAMIE TO NIOBRARA THAT SPILL OVER INTO EXT SW SD
AND NW NEBRASKA.  HERE SOIL CONDITIONS WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR FF
POTENTIAL TO BE REALIZED ESPECIALLY IF TRAINING SSW TO NNE CELLS CONTINUE.
RAIN RATES CAN REACH 0.5" TO 1.0" IN A 1-2HR PERIOD.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...AS DIFFLUEWCE AND VORT ACTION WILL CONTINUE
TO FIGHT OUT WITH GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA.
