PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 411 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...
TRENDS INDICATED BY RECENT RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA INDICATE THAT
THE CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
CONTINUES TO DECREASE IN CONVERAGE AND INTENSITY.

LATEST SUBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES A WELL DEFINED COLD
FRONT NOW ENTERING NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY IN CLIMING AFTER FRONTAL
PASSAGE. GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ALSO AFTER THE FRONT
PASSES. UPPER LEVEL ENERGY NOW LEAVING THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WILL
CONTINUE EASTWARD...LAPSE RATES ASSOICATED WITH THIS FEATURE WILL
SUPPORT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. OVERALL
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT.

A LATE SEASON HARD FREEZE WILL AFFECT NORTH AND WEST SECTIONS
OVERNIGHT...WITH AREAS OF FROST EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ELSEWHERE.
APPROPRIATE HEADLINES HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE STATE LATE THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURE CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
BE MILD.
