    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe wind gusts and isolated large hail may occur across
    parts of the northern/central Plains this evening and overnight.
    Thunderstorms across portions of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic may
    produce occasional damaging winds this afternoon.

    ...Northern/Central Plains...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    moving through southwest MT. This shortwave is forecast to continue
    eastward along the MT/WY border vicinity today, before continuing
    through the Dakotas/NE tonight. The airmass preceding this shortwave
    across southeast MT/northeast WY is relatively dry, with dewpoints
    currently in the low to mid 50s. Greater low-level moisture is in
    place farther east, with dewpoints increasing into the low 60s
    across south-central SD and north-central NE. Southerly low-level
    flow is anticipated throughout the day, helping to offset some of
    the mixing expected amid strong diurnal heating. This should result
    in a modestly moist, deeply mixed airmass across the southeast
    MT/northeast WY/western SD vicinity by the late afternoon when the
    forcing for ascent attendant to the approaching shortwave reaches
    the region. This modest large-scale ascent show work in tandem with
    robust daytime heating and localized orographic effects near the
    Black Hills to initiate thunderstorms.

    High-based storms are anticipated initially, which could result in
    strong outflow with any more mature storms. A few instances of hail
    as possible as well. Greater low-level moisture and buoyancy will be
    in place farther east (i.e. into more of western/central SD), which
    will combine with persistent large-scale forcing for ascent and a
    strengthening low-level jet to support upscale growth into a
    convective line. This should foster a continued threat for damaging
    gusts into south-central SD and far north-central NE this evening.
    The threat should diminish with eastern extent given nocturnal
    stabilization and increasing convective inhibition.

    ...Northeast/Mid-Atlantic...
    Dewpoints currently range from the low 70s over the northern
    Mid-Atlantic into the low 60s across northern NH/VT. Thunderstorms
    are already developing within this moist and moderately buoyant
    airmass as large-scale ascent attendant to upper troughing advancing
    eastward over Ontario/Quebec glances the region. Deep-layer vertical
    shear is expected to remain weak throughout the day (i.e. effective
    bulk shear generally less than 25 kt), which should limit overall
    storm strength and organization. Even so, steep low-level lapse
    rates could aid in the development of occasionally damaging gusts
    with any of the deeper convective cores. Greater buoyancy could
    result in a relatively higher probability for damaging gusts from
    the NY Hudson Valley into eastern PA/NJ. Refer to recently issued
    MCD #1938 for additional information.

    ...20Z Update...
    The western portion of the Marginal Risk area in the Mid-Atlantic
    was trimmed, where convective overturning and cloud debris should
    generally limit the severe risk. Farther west, the Marginal Risk was
    expanded slightly northward into southwestern ND. Recent
    high-resolution guidance is in relatively good agreement, depicting
    a cluster of high-based storms evolving in an environment
    characterized by weak-moderate surface-based buoyancy and 30-40 kt
    of effective shear. Severe wind gusts and isolated large hail will
    be possible with these storms. For details on the near-term severe
    risk in the northern Plains, see MCD #1939.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    TEXAS/DEEP SOUTH AND NORTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms from Texas across the Lower Mississippi
    Valley and Gulf Coast states may pose a risk for localized damaging
    wind gusts this afternoon and evening. Isolated severe thunderstorms
    may also occur across eastern Montana and northern North Dakota.

    ...Texas to Lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf Coast States...
    A convectively augmented effective front will continue to progress
    southward, southward-shifting the potential for microburst-related
    wind damage regionally. Diurnal heating of a moist boundary layer
    will result in a moderately to strongly unstable and weakly capped
    airmass by afternoon, with the strongest buoyancy (2500+ J/kg
    MLCAPE) expected across central/east Texas east-northeastward to Mississippi/western Alabama/southern Tennessee. Some small-scale
    clusters may evolve, but weak vertical shear will otherwise tend to
    keep the overall pulse-type damaging wind potential very isolated.

    ...Northern Plains...
    The region will be influenced by late-day/nighttime height falls as
    a shortwave trough emerges eastward from the Canadian Rockies, with
    an eastward-advancing cold front moving across eastern Montana into
    North Dakota tonight. A narrow corridor of moderate to large
    buoyancy is expected along/ahead of the surface cold front, and near
    a pre-frontal surface trough. Beneath a plume of warm elevated
    mixed-layer air, mid/upper-level support for the initiation of
    boundary-layer based thunderstorm development is forecast to
    generally remain north of the international border.

    One exception may be in the post-frontal environment across eastern
    Montana. The environment would be conducive to a few severe storms
    capable of hail/wind. While the risk for severe thunderstorms
    appears largely conditional into North Dakota where stronger
    destabilization is expected, isolated deeper convective development
    is plausible across northwestern North Dakota in proximity to the
    surface low/front late this afternoon, and more so this evening.
    Should this occur, forecast soundings indicate the environment would
    support isolated supercell development and related severe-weather
    risks.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS AND NORTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms are expected this afternoon and evening across
    the south-central High Plains spanning eastern Colorado into western
    Oklahoma. Scattered strong to severe storms are also possible across
    portions of Pennsylvania and New York.

    ...South-central High Plains..
    Within an amplified upper flow regime, a moderately strong belt of northwesterly winds aloft will exist over the region, with one or
    more low-amplitude ridge-peripheral disturbances expected to pivot
    eastward later today over the central Rockies. A pronounced surface
    anticyclone will settle into the northern Plains, forcing the
    leading edge of more continental air into the southern Plains by the
    end of the period. A corridor of low-level warm advection will
    become established from southern Wyoming into western Oklahoma
    coincident with the northwest/southeast-oriented front.

    Widely scattered generally non-severe elevated storms will probably
    persist this morning across western Kansas, with some potential that
    the storms may help focus some renewed/increasing convective
    potential later today from southwest Kansas into western
    Oklahoma/eastern Texas Panhandle. Aided by increasing low-level
    upslope flow, other potentially severe storms are expected to
    develop across the Colorado Front Range vicinity by late afternoon
    and drift southeastward through early/mid-evening. A couple of
    supercells will initially be possible, before storms tend to cluster
    by evening. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary concerns
    regionally, although current thinking is that overall potential
    should remain relatively isolated.

    ...Northeast including New York/Pennsylvania...
    A prominent upper-level trough over Ontario/Quebec and Great Lakes
    will shift eastward today. An associated surface front is forecast
    to advance into western portions of New York/Pennsylvania by early
    afternoon. Modest boundary-layer heating is expected to aid
    destabilization ahead of the front and convective temperatures
    should be breached by around 20-21z; although, deep-layer lapse
    rates are not expected to be particularly steep (0-6 km values
    around 6.5 C/km). These storms could generate locally strong winds,
    and perhaps some hail, with the main risk from mid-afternoon into
    early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    MONTANA INTO WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...

    CORRECTED FOR PROB GRAPHICS

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected over eastern Montana
    into western North Dakota late this afternoon through the evening.
    The primary hazards are severe wind gusts and large hail.

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery shows a large cyclone over the West with a
    downstream ridge over the Great Plains, and a trough centered over
    the Lower Great Lakes. Southwesterly mid to high-level flow extends
    from the base of the larger-scale western U.S. trough northeastward
    through the Great Basin and into the northern Great Plains. A
    mid-level disturbance implied in water-vapor imagery over western
    WY, is forecast to move northeast into eastern MT/western ND towards
    this evening.

    In the low levels, a plume of seasonably rich moisture will protrude
    northward from the central Plains into the Dakotas and eastern MT.
    A lee trough will extend southward from a surface low over the
    northern High Plains.

    ...Rockies into the northern Plains...
    An ongoing cluster of thunderstorms associated with warm-air
    advection near the ND/Manitoba border will continue to move
    east-northeastward into southern Canada ahead of a pair of MCVs over
    western ND/eastern MT. Diurnal heating over the higher terrain from
    near the Four Corners northward into southern MT will favor
    scattered thunderstorms developing during the midday into the early
    afternoon. Storm coverage will increase further over the central
    Rockies during the afternoon, with the stronger storms capable of an
    isolated hail/wind threat. As the airmass destabilizes over the
    plains, particularly across eastern MT within the moist plume
    primarily north of the surface low, isolated to scattered storms are
    forecast by mid to late afternoon. This initial activity will
    probably develop near the MT/WY border with upscale growth into a
    cluster possible during the evening. Deep-layer shear supporting
    organized storm modes coupled with steep lapse rates, will combine
    to aid in several stronger storms capable of a hail/wind threat.
    The wind threat will probably continue into ND during the evening
    within the terminus region of a 35-40 kt southerly LLJ. A gradual
    transition to increasingly elevated convection is expected late as
    convective inhibition increases and the overall severe risk lessens.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Mid-level northwesterly flow will be in place today from the
    Intermountain West to the Eastern Seaboard. At the surface, a cool
    and dry airmass over much of the nation will make conditions
    unfavorable for thunderstorm development. No severe threat is

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
    tonight from northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle into western
    Oklahoma and southern/central Kansas. Large to very large hail, a
    few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds are possible.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    An upper trough will amplify over the western U.S. today as a broad
    zone of modestly enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow persists over
    the southern/central Plains. At the surface, lee cyclogenesis is
    forecast to occur across eastern Colorado through this evening,
    which will promote continued northward transport of low-level
    moisture across Texas into Oklahoma/Kansas. A surface dryline will
    also extend southward from the low over the southern High Plains.

    Multi-layer cloud cover remains semi-prevalent at late morning but
    peripheral gradual clearing is noted across parts of western North
    Texas as well as along the New Mexico/Texas border vicinity. The
    strongest heating/mixing will occur in vicinity across far
    west/northwest Texas, but it seems probable that storm development
    will occur within the somewhat richer moisture near/just east of the
    Caprock Escarpment including parts of Low Rolling Plains and
    Texas/southwest Oklahoma border vicinity. Such development should
    occur by around 4pm-6pm CST as convective temperatures are breached.

    Somewhat modest/nebulous large-scale ascent will probably support a
    multi-hour period of semi-discrete supercells even if effective
    shear is not robust and low-level shear/SRH a bit modest during time
    of initial development, but nonetheless steadily strengthening
    toward/after 00z/6pm CST. This will include associated threats for
    large to very large hail initially, potentially up to 2-3 inches in
    diameter. The increasing low-level shear through the evening will
    also foster enlarged low-level hodographs and the potential for a
    few tornadoes with this activity, potentially including a
    spatiotemporal window for a strong (EF2+) tornado even if a more
    complex mode is evolving. Over time, convection is forecast to grow
    upscale into a small but potentially intense cluster as it moves
    northeastward into parts of western/northern Oklahoma and southern
    Kansas.

    Isolated supercells may also occur along the length of the dryline
    across west Texas late this afternoon/evening, with associated
    threat for occasional large hail and severe wind gusts. However,
    confidence in any more than isolated coverage remains low due to
    weak large-scale forcing. Farther north, isolated severe hail may
    occur tonight with elevated convection in a low-level warm advection
    regime across eastern Nebraska, northwest Missouri into Iowa.

    ...Ohio Valley to the central Appalachians...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly eastward today across
    the Ohio Valley. Modest low-level moisture will remain in place
    along/south of a front, with generally weak instability forecast
    across the warm sector. Even so, sufficiently strong low to
    mid-level winds associated with this shortwave trough may promote a
    few instances of damaging winds with loosely organized clusters that
    develop and spread eastward through the afternoon.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Beneath an upper high and within an easterly low-level flow regime,
    strong heating will occur today across the Florida Peninsula, with
    dewpoints dropping into the mid 60s F. Despite the upper high,
    mid-level temperatures (-11 or -12C at 500mb) will remain relatively
    cool. Scattered convection appear probable along the western Florida
    Peninsula during the afternoon where low-level convergence will be
    maximized. Locally strong wind gusts will be possible, although
    organized severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AND SOUTH TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible this
    afternoon and early evening across parts of the Carolinas to
    southeast Virginia. A few strong to locally severe storms capable of
    hail may linger across South Texas today.

    ...Carolinas and Southeast Virginia...
    At midday, temperatures continue to warm through the 70s F, nearing
    80F, across the Piedmont and coastal plain ahead of a cold front, in
    the presence of middle 60s F dewpoints. This will continue to yield
    weakening inhibition and modest buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around
    500-1000 J/kg) this afternoon, with increasing storm development
    anticipated by mid/late afternoon. The combination of modest
    buoyancy, moderate shear, and ascent along and ahead of the cold
    front will likely yield a few stronger, more organized storms. Given
    the steep low-level lapse rates, locally strong outflow/damaging
    gusts are possible within any more organized and persistent
    updrafts, particularly with development across the coastal plain.

    ...South Texas...
    A couple of strong/locally severe storms capable of large hail may
    linger today within an elevated supercell-favorable environment.
    Effective shear exceeds 40 kt and elevated MUCAPE is estimated to be
    around 1000-1500 J/kg based on available 12z observed soundings and
    latest SPC Mesoanalysis data.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    MID-SOUTH REGION AND CENTRAL GULF STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across the Mid-South region and
    central Gulf states.

    ...Mid-South/Central Gulf States...

    Weak, low amplitude short-wave trough is currently located over the
    southern High Plains. This feature is forecast to advance into
    central OK later this morning before shifting into eastern AR by
    10/00z, then into the southern Appalachians during the overnight
    hours. Despite this short wave, large-scale height rises are
    forecast through the period across much of the eastern CONUS. As a
    result, LLJ will likely prove instrumental in convective initiation
    as low-level warm advection should extend along a corridor from the
    southern Plains into the northern Gulf states.

    Early this morning, 60F surface dew points were observed into
    portions of the Arklatex. Latest model guidance suggests mid 60s dew
    points will advance to near I40 across AR and these values should
    spread into northern MS/AL by late afternoon. Given the strength of
    the LLJ currently observed across north-central TX/OK, there is
    increasing confidence that elevated convection may develop just
    before sunrise across southeast OK. This activity would then
    potentially grow upscale as it approaches the MS River. Latest HREF
    members generally agree with this scenario and multiple thunderstorm
    clusters and possibly an MCS-like cluster could evolve with time.
    Strong deep-layer shear favors the potential for supercells, and
    hail should be the primary concern with this activity. Severe threat
    will spread southeast as thunderstorms spread toward
    northern/central AL by late afternoon, potentially into western GA
    during the evening.

    ...Southern AZ...

    Strong upper low is forecast to advance toward the northern Baja
    Peninsula by 10/00z, eventually shifting into northwest Mexico, just
    south of the AZ border by the end of the period. Steep lapse rates
    are forecast across southern AZ within a favorable zone for
    large-scale ascent. Profiles suggest scattered convection will
    develop and spread north across this region. Some consideration was
    given to adding 5 percent severe hail/wind probabilities to this
    region, but forecast soundings suggest this activity should struggle
    to attain severe levels. Even so, small hail and gusty winds could
    accompany the strongest convection.
