ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT INVOF THAT PORTION OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BEING
REINFORCED BY ONGOING CONVECTION...A PROCESS ACTING TO MAXIMIZE
SLOPE OF ASSOCIATED DENSITY CURRENT AND LIFT THEREON. MODIFIED
RAOBS AND RUC SOUNDINGS INDICATE STRONG BUOYANCY GRADIENT ASSOCIATED
WITH FRONT...AS MUCAPES INCREASE RAPIDLY TO OVER 3000 J/KG FOR
PARCELS THAT CAN BE FORCED TO LFC. CONVECTION FARTHER S INVOF KS/CO
