   ...SYNOPSIS...
   A SPLIT FLOW REGIME IS IN PLACE OVER THE CENTRAL/WRN CONUS WITH A
   PROGRESSIVE SRN STREAM FROM CA TO THE SRN PLAINS.  WITH RESPECT TO
   CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...THE PRIMARY FEATURE OF INTEREST WILL BE THE
   EWD PROGRESSION OF THE SRN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH FROM UT/AZ THIS
   MORNING TO TX/OK BY EARLY MONDAY.  STEEP LAPSE RATES ACCOMPANYING
   THE TROUGH...ALONG WITH DAYTIME HEATING...WILL SUPPORT A RISK FOR
   ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING INVOF THE FOUR CORNERS. 
   OVERNIGHT...THE LAPSE RATE PLUME WILL SPREAD EWD TO W TX...ABOVE AN
   INCREASING SLY LLJ.  THE LLJ WILL CONTRIBUTE TO EROSION OF THE
   ARCTIC AIR MASS NOW COVERING MUCH OF THE SRN PLAINS...AS WELL AS
   MOISTENING NEAR AND ABOVE THE SURFACE.  THE NET RESULT WILL BE THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY /MUCAPE OF 50-200 J/KG
   ROOTED 800-700 MB/...AND AN ASSOCIATED RISK FOR A FEW ELEVATED
   THUNDERSTORMS BY TONIGHT FROM SE NM INTO W/NW TX.  THE CONVECTION
   COULD LOCALLY ENHANCE PRECIPITATION RATES TONIGHT...BUT THE
   THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL BE LARGELY CONFINED TO AREAS OF TX WHERE
   TEMPERATURE PROFILES WILL LIKELY BECOME MARGINALLY WARM FOR
   FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION.
