   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 334
   CONTINUES.
   
   SURFACE DRYLINE HAS MOVED EASTWARD OUT OF WW 334 TO THE
   KANSAS/COLORADO BORDER ACCORDING TO LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS.
   ADDITIONALLY...A WARM FRONT...MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWARD...EXISTS JUST
   NORTH OF I-70 TO SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THE DENVER METROPOLITAN AREA.
   SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID 70S F WITH
   LIMITED BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AS DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE 20S
   F...WHILE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...THE ENVIRONMENT IS COOL AND
   MOIST AS MULTIPLE STORMS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS HAVE
   CONTRIBUTED TO STABILIZING THE ENVIRONMENT. WITH THE MAIN VERTICAL
   MOTION OVER THE REGION LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD INTO NEBRASKA AND
   WYOMING /AHEAD OF VORTICITY MAXIMUM LOCATED IN SE COLORADO/ THE
   OVERALL THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS IS DECREASING OVER THE WEATHER
   WATCH...BUT GIVEN STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES NORTH OF THE WARM
   FRONT...ANY NEW CONVECTION THAT INITIATES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS
   COULD BECOME SEVERE.
