510 AM CDT MON SEP 30 2002

...VERY WARM AND BREEZY TODAY...

A DEVELOPING TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL PRODUCE BREEZY SOUTH
WINDS AND WITH A PARTLY SUNNY SKY...ALLOW THE MERCURY TO RISE WELL INTO
THE 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES BY THIS AFTERNOON.   A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT...THIS BOUNDARY MAY SPAWN A FEW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AFTER MIDNIGHT NORTHWEST OF A FREEPORT TO
SIGOURNEY LINE. ANOTHER WARM NIGHT CAN BE EXPECTED WITH LOWS FALLING
ONLY INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND HEAVY TUESDAY
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...LASTING INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONT PASSES
TO THE SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD
RECEIVE THE HEAVIEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD RAINS THAT THE REGION HAS
EXPERIENCED IN SEVERAL WEEKS. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS OF A
HALF TO ONE AND ONE HALF INCHES ARE VERY POSSIBLE WITH ISOLATED HIGHER
AMOUNTS. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS MAY ALSO BE CONDUCIVE TO ALLOW THE
STRONGEST STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE WITH POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS UP TO
70 MPH AND HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF-BALLS LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT.

IN ADDITION...A WAVE WILL FORM ON THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA LATE
WEDNESDAY AND MOVE INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AND PERSIST INTO
EARLY FRIDAY.  THIS SHOULD PRODUCE ANOTHER PERIOD OR TWO OF ADDITIONAL
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. THE DISTURBANCE ALSO MAY INGEST SOME ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE AND ENERGY FROM HURRICANE LILI THAT MAY ADD TO RAINFALL TOTALS
LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.  A CLEARER PICTURE OF JUST HOW MUCH IMPACT
LILI MAY HAVE FOR OUR REGION IN THE FORM OF MORE RAIN SHOULD BE
DETERMINED TUESDAY MORNING.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT BUT MAY BE NEEDED
LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
