WV IMAGERY THIS MORNING REVEALING AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE SITUATED OVER
THE WRN CONUS WITH A DOWNSTREAM TROF OVER THE ERN CONUS. THIS
PATTERN HAS BE STAGNANT THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AND WILL
REMAIN SO HEADING INTO THIS WEEKEND.

ONLY ACTIVE WEATHER OF CONCERN WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING JUST WEST OF
THE CWA. RAP13/HIRES ARW/HIRES NMM ALL ADVERTISE PCPN DEVELOPMENT
WITHIN AXIS OF 850-700MB QG FORCING/STRONG MID LYR AGEOSTROPHIC LIFT
EXTENDING FM THE NEB PANH TO CNTRL KS. ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP
WITHIN AREA OF LOW COND PRES DEF WHERE 310K ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL
BE FOCUSED. AGAIN THOUGH...BEST FORCING IS PROGGED TO REMAIN JUST
W/SW OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. WILL WATCH RADAR TRENDS THE NEXT

MODELS AGREE LARGE SCALE FLOW WILL FOR THE MOST PART REMAIN
STAGNANT WITH A RIDGE WEST AND TROF EAST. GIVEN THIS SEE LITTLE
REASON FOR ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO GOING FCST. PCPN CHANCES SUN NIGHT
THRU TUES REVOLVING AROUND A FRONTAL BNDRY DROPPING INTO THE CNTRL
PLAINS. GFS IS A BIT FASTER THAN THE ECM DROPPING THE BNDRY SOUTH.
NEVERTHELESS...SMALL POPS STILL REASONABLE FOR NOW. OTHERWISE
