Moisture with LPW

Similar to yesterday (blog post), I'm seeing increasing low-mid level moisture just to the east of the dryline, and we're reaching a point where convection is firing on the strengthening gradient.  RAP forecast moisture cross section suggests the increasing moisture, especially in what should be the 0.7-0.9 layer, before the dryline begins moving east today.  Already seeing that underway.  Will be watching evolution today using LPW...

(RAP moisture forecast cross section W to E from Panhandle, across C Oklahoma, to western AR)

Just like yesterday (blog), convection is developing over the panhandle along the dry line as 0.7-0.9 PW gradients quickly increase.
