DISCUSSION...03Z RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED ONGOING THUNDERSTORMS ALONG
THE WESTERN KS/NE BORDER INTO EAST-CENTRAL NE, LOCATED SOUTHEAST
OF A STATIONARY FRONT THAT EXTENDED NE TO SW THROUGH CENTRAL NE.
AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS ANALYZED AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
OVERRUNNING OF AN ESTIMATED 30-40 KT 850 MB LOW LEVEL JET IN
WEST-CENTRAL KS BENEATH A DIFFLUENT FLOW PATTERN ALOFT. THE BIGGER
PICTURE SHOWED A CLOSED MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER WY WITH A
SOUTHWARD EXTENDING TROUGH AXIS INTO WESTERN CO. THIS TROUGH AXIS
IS EXPECTED TO ADVANCE EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 6 HOURS WITH
DIFFLUENT FLOW MAINTAINING OVER MUCH OF NE INTO NORTHERN KS.

J/KG MLCAPE AIDING IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HIGH
RAINFALL RATES. AS THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
DOWNSTREAM TOWARD THE SOUTH AND EAST, OVERRUNNING OF THE LOW LEVEL
JET ATOP THE BOUNDARY WITH DEEPER LAYER MEAN STEERING FLOW
ALIGNING WITH THE BOUNDARY ORIENTATION WILL SUPPORT AREAS OF
TRAINING AT TIMES FROM SW TO NE. RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 IN/HR ARE
