UAHCI along cold front in Kansas

Over the past several hours, several storms have fired along the cold front in Kansas and subsequently moved off towards the northeast. This area continues to be defined by a thin line of convergence at 2255 UTC (see Figure 1). The UAHCI product continues to indicate the storms will continue to fire along this portion of the front with a stronger strength of signal on the northern end. Subsequent visible imagery shows that the northern end of this line segment did indeed generate more convection as can be seen at 2345 UTC with the mature cumulonimbus in Figure 2. The southern end of the line continues to show strong strengths of signal, with future development likely in the unstable environment.
