IOP in progress.

A compact mid-level wave continues to approach from the west.  It is expected to cause an increase in CAPE and shear after ~midnight local time.  Thunderstorms are possible in this environment between about 3 AM and sunrise.  Serial soundings have commenced from the Belle Mina supersite, and at the time of this posting (4:20 PM LT) all other teams are moving toward their observing sites.

No decision has been made concerning extending the IOP through the Tuesday cold front event.
