NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0534 PM CDT TUE MAY 29 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS E-CENTRAL/NERN CO...NWRN
KS...SWRN/S-CENTRAL NEB.

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL

VALID 292234Z - 300130Z

ORGANIZED/MESOSCALE HEAVY RAIN EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH AT
LEAST 2Z ACROSS SWATH FROM GRI AREA WSWWD ACROSS NWRN KS AND
E-CENTRAL CO...S THROUGH E OF LIC. RATES 2 INCHES/HOUR WILL BE
COMMON...WITH RATES 3-5 INCHES/HOUR LOCALLY OCCURRING IN HP
SUPERCELLS AND MERGING STORMS. 2.5 INCHES IN HALF AN HOUR ALREADY
HAS BEEN MEASURED AT SFC WITH DISCRETE/SLOW MOVING TSTM OVER NRN
YUMA COUNTY CO...AND SIMILAR/VERY LOCALIZED EVENTS WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE WITHIN LARGER HEAVY PRECIP AREA AS IT CONSOLIDATES
EWD/ESEWD ACROSS DISCUSSION AREA.

AS OF 2215Z...LINE OF TSTMS IS BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED FROM KEITH
COUNTY NEB SWWD ACROSS LIC/COS AREAS...AND WILL MOVE EWD INTO
FAVORABLE MOISTURE AND 30-40 KT STORM-RELATIVE INFLOW ACROSS SWRN
NEB/NERN CO AND INTO NWRN KS. MEANWHILE...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
ONGOING CONVECTION OVER SRN NEB IS ANALYZED NEAR
GRI...HDE...MCK...30 SW IML LINE...AND MAY DRIFT SWD IN SOME AREAS.
20-25 KT SELY FLOW AT 850 MB WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT FAVORABLY
MOIST LOW LEVEL AIR MASS ATOP THIS BOUNDARY FOR CONTINUED RISK OF
HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG BOUNDARY AND TO ITS N.
EXPECT WESTERN CONVECTIVE BAND TO OVERTAKE AND MERGE WITH CONVECTION
N OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...MAXIMIZING ADDITIONAL LIFT AND EXACERBATING
HEAVY RAIN THREAT. GPS DATA...MODIFIED RAOBS AND RUC GUIDANCE
SUGGEST AROUND 1.25 INCH PW IN PROSPECTIVE INFLOW AIR MASS OVER MOST
OF REGION...EXPECIALLY FROM EXTREME ERN CO EWD ACROSS KS/NEB BORDER
AREA. 1500-2500 J/KG MUCAPE...STRONG STORM-RELATIVE INFLOW AND
FAVORABLE PROPAGATIONAL VECTORS WILL HELP TO MAINTAIN EFFICIENT
PRECIP PRODUCTION.
