An upper level shortwave trough dipped southeast into the Central Rockies, in turn ejecting a series of H5 vort maxima out across the Western High Plains, downstream of the trough axis. Meanwhile, an attendant frontal boundary pushed through western Kansas later today while moisture continues to pool ahead of it with surface dewpoints remaining well up into the 60s(F). Substantial instability (MLCAPE values in excess of 2000 to 3000 J/kg) and steep low/mid level lapse rates under +70kt westeries aloft
set the stage for thunderstorm development in an axis of increased convergence associated with the boundary.
