    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDWEST AND CENTRAL PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the Upper
    Mississippi Valley to central Plains, mainly Tuesday afternoon and
    evening.

    ...Corn Belt/Upper Midwest and Central Plains...
    Further amplification will occur on Tuesday with the
    eastward-shifting mid/upper-level trough over the northern Plains,
    with preceding height falls and a strengthening of
    west-southwesterly winds aloft (50-65 kt at 500 mb) over the Upper
    Midwest and Great Lakes region. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    may be ongoing Tuesday morning across southeast Nebraska/northeast
    Kansas, Iowa, and nearby parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley.
    These storms and related outflow/cloud debris will probably
    delineate the north-northeastward extent of the most-favorable
    surface-based storm environment into peak heating. The strongest destabilization into Tuesday afternoon is currently expected across
    southern Iowa and far southeast Nebraska/northeast Kansas to
    northern Missouri. Ample heating and moderate destabilization is
    also expected southwestward near the surface trough and along/just
    behind the southeastward-moving cold front across Kansas.

    Seasonally strong deep-layer winds will likely support potentially
    intense and sustained storms including supercells capable of all
    hazards, especially across parts of Iowa and far northern Missouri.
    Storms are likely to quickly grow upscale in the evening with
    continued severe-wind and some tornado potential, as storms progress east-southeastward across the region.

    ...Central/South-central High Plains...
    Isolated strong to severe high-based storms may occur as far
    southwest as the south-central High Plains, either within a hot and
    deeply mixed boundary layer across northwest Texas and the Oklahoma
    Panhandle, and/or in the post-frontal environment across
    east-central/southeast Colorado and western Kansas.

    ...Southeast/Gulf Coast...
    Some strong to locally severe storms could regionally occur within a
    moderately unstable environment along and south of the weakening southward-moving front. However, organized/sustained
    severe-thunderstorm potential is currently expected to be limited by
    the proximity and influence of the upper ridge as well as weak
    deep-layer shear.

    Day 2 Convective Outlook

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    TX TO SOUTHWEST MO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely, especially on Monday
    afternoon to early evening from northeast Texas to southwest
    Missouri. Tornadoes, a couple of which may be strong, and damaging
    winds should be the main hazards.

    ...Southern Great Plains to the Mid-MS Valley...
    A vigorous shortwave impulse and intense mid-level jet will eject
    across west TX on Monday morning and advance northeast into the
    Lower MO Valley by early Tuesday. While the trough orientation will
    be positive tilt and yield a predominantly south-southwesterly
    mid/upper flow regime, some of the fast winds will overlap with the
    northwest portion of the moderate buoyancy plume across the southern
    Great Plains. Weak mid-level lapse rates will afflict the warm-moist
    sector owing to multiple preceding days of convective overturning
    and the meridional flow regime.

    Low-level warm advection should foster one convective swath centered
    from the Ark-La-Tex to the Mid-MS Valley at 12Z Monday. A separate
    linear cluster should also be ongoing in the western north TX to
    southwest OK vicinity, near a surface cyclone attendant to the
    aforementioned shortwave trough. This surface cyclone should deepen
    slightly as it progresses northeastward. Guidance suggests a window
    for at least modest diabatic surface heating between the convective
    swaths, across northeast TX into southeast OK, where mid to upper
    60s dew points should be emanating north from east TX. Increasing
    convective coverage and intensity are expected towards midday into
    the afternoon, within a largely north-northeast to south-southwest
    oriented swath centered on eastern OK to northeast TX. While a
    linear mode should dominate, enlarged low-level hodograph curvature
    and favorable speed shear in the mid/upper-levels will support
    potential for embedded supercell structures. This should be
    sufficient for tornadoes, a couple of which may be strong, along
    with scattered damaging winds.

    Severe potential should diminish Monday night as the mostly linear
    convective band shifts east of the daytime-heating corridor.
    Convection over east to southeast TX will likely slow its eastward
    advance and contain more undercutting outflow, as large-scale ascent
    shifts north. The extent of severe potential northeast of the Ozarks
    will be limited by progressively diminishing surface-based
    instability. But amid a very strong low-level flow, confidence is
    low in where severe potential will become negligible Monday night.
