STRONGER STORMS MAY POSE AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THREAT.
...SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE-SCALE TROUGH SITUATED OVER THE N-CNTRL U.S. AND SRN ROCKIES
WILL SLOWLY MOVE EWD. THE NRN PORTION OF THE TROUGH SHOULD MINOR
OUT OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WHILE AN AMPLIFYING SHORTWAVE TROUGH
ROUNDS THE BASE OVER NRN MEXICO. DOWNSTREAM OF THIS FEATURE...A
NEUTRAL MID-LEVEL HEIGHT CHANGE FIELD IS FORECAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY
