    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the continental United
    States Saturday and Saturday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level disturbance over the Gulf of Mexico will move to the
    Bahamian Archipelago and continue to be absorbed within a
    larger-scale mid-level trough over eastern North America during the
    day-2 period. Southerly low-level flow over the FL Straits will
    advect a still-modifying airmass northward into the southern part of
    the FL Peninsula during the day. Scattered showers and isolated
    weak thunderstorms are possible from the Everglades northeast to the
    Space Coast. Elsewhere, surface high pressure will be pervasive
    across much of the area east of the Rockies.

    Thunderstorm development may occur along the Pacific Northwest Coast
    on Sunday, but no severe thunderstorms are expected across the
    continental United States Sunday and Sunday night.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level ridge will move eastward into the Great Plains on
    Sunday, as an upper-level low moves southward across the
    northeastern Pacific. Southwest mid-level flow, associated with the
    Pacific low pressure system, will be in place across much of the
    western U.S. Strong large-scale ascent will overspread the Pacific
    Northwest as a lapse rates steepen across western Washington and
    western Oregon. These two conditions will make isolated thunderstorm development possible near the coasts of the Pacific Northwest today
    and tonight. Instability will be too weak for a severe threat.
    Elsewhere across the continental United States, thunderstorm
    development is not expected Sunday or Sunday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A quiescent weather pattern for thunderstorms will exist for much of

    of the continental U.S. and be influenced by surface high pressure
    and offshore flow over the Atlantic Seaboard and Gulf of Mexico.
    The exception will be along the parts of the West Coast, where a
    mid-upper trough is forecast to approach the northern half of CA and
    OR/WA during the period. Very cold mid-level temperatures may
    support fleeting pockets of instability near the immediate coast of
    OR/WA as low-topped convection moves ashore. A few thunderstorms
    are possible with this activity.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level ridge will move eastward into the Mississippi Valley

    Pacific. Between the two features, southwest mid-level flow will be
    in place across most of the western and central U.S. Strong
    large-scale ascent associated with the upper-level system in the
    northeast Pacific will overspread the Pacific Northwest. This
    combined with steep lapse rates will make conditions favorable for
    isolated light strikes along the coast. This potential will exist
    along the coast from Washington southward to the coast of northern
    California. Instability will be weak and no severe threat is
    forecast. Elsewhere across the continental United States,
    thunderstorm development is not expected Monday or Monday night.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are forecast mainly along the West Coast Tuesday
    and Tuesday night. Isolated activity cannot be ruled out over Iowa
    and neighboring states Tuesday night.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A large upper trough will exist over the western CONUS on Tuesday,
    with a strong mid and upper jet nosing across the Four Corners area
    late. Cold air aloft on the cyclonic side of this jet will maximize
    instability from CA into western OR, with heating providing
    steepening lapse rates. Widespread precipitation is expected
    throughout the period from western OR southward across the Sierra,
    with a few thunderstorms developing during the daytime. Winds will
    veer with height, but not be particularly strong. While a weakly
    rotating storm or two is possible into the central/northern CA, the
    severe threat appears too low to introduce probabilities at this
    time due to marginal shear and weak instability.

    Elsewhere, a lead shortwave trough will move quickly northeast
    across the central Plains and into Mid MO and Upper MS valleys
    overnight, with a weak low along the KS/NE border. Warm advection
    with a southwesterly low level jet may provide enough moistening for
    isolated thunderstorms, however, forecast soundings indicate capping
    will be a concern.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN
    KANSAS...AND SMALL PARTS OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
    MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms producing mainly large hail will be
    possible from northern Oklahoma into eastern Kansas and far western
    Missouri, Wednesday evening and overnight.

    ...Synopsis...
    As an upper low drops south along the CA Coast, strong southwest
    flow aloft will increase from the southwestern states into the
    Plains, with a leading low-amplitude wave over the central Plains by
    00Z. At the surface, a cold front will extend from southern MN into
    northern KS at 00Z, with southwesterly surface winds bringing 50s F
    dewpoints north toward the boundary. A dryline will extend from
    eastern KS into western OK and west TX at 00Z, with upper 50s F
    dewpoints and heating along it.

    The primary surface low will move from the MN/IA area at 00Z to Lake
    Superior by 12Z Thursday, as the lead wave continues rapidly
    northeastward. Lift along the trailing fronts and a moistening air
    mass will provide the primary focus for thunderstorms late
    Wednesday.

    ...KS...OK...MO...
    A warming, but capped air mass will be maintained during the day
    over the Slight Risk area, with a shallow moist boundary layer
    depicted by forecast soundings. By around 03Z, lift will increase
    along the cold front into northeast KS, and zippering southwestward intersecting along the dryline. A 50-60 kt low-level jet will aid
    moisture transport and theta-e advection, with a few strong to
    severe storms possible. These storms will mostly be elevated, with
    strong deep-layer shear aiding longevity and forward tilt. A strong
    wind gust is possible as well with any storms that remain south of
    the sagging cold front.

    Farther south along the dryline into western OK, a conditional risk
    of hail may exist during the late afternoon. Strong heating and
    surface convergence may prove sufficient to instigate a cell, but
    forecast soundings show capping quickly becomes a concern. Any
    threat would likely be short lived, with the better threat farther
    north along the KS border during the evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A threat of mainly hail may exist Thursday from northeast Oklahoma
    into southern Illinois. Isolated damaging gusts cannot be ruled out.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A large upper trough will exist over the southwestern states with a
    broad belt of strong southwesterlies extending across the Plains and
    into the MS and OH Valleys. Early in the period, a fast-moving
    shortwave trough will move across the upper Great Lakes, with subtle
    height rises in its wake.

    At the surface, low pressure associated with the lead wave will move
    from Lake Superior into Quebec, with a cold front trailing
    southwestward across IN, IL, southern MO and OK. Ahead of this
    front, mid to upper 50s F dewpoints will be common, with a few lower
    60s F possible from the Ozarks southwestward into TX.

    Given a degree of warming aloft during the day and the
    aforementioned height rises, large-scale support for severe storms
    will be minimal. However, strong deep-layer shear will remain
    situated along the length of the slow-moving cold front, and at
    least 250-500 J/kg MUCAPE is forecast as lapse rates aloft will
    remain sufficiently steep. Low-level profiles may remain somewhat
    stable or marginally buoyant per forecast soundings, but even
    elevated storms will have the potential to produce marginal hail.
    Given the strength of the deep-layer shear, and marginally unstable boundary-layer, isolated damaging gusts cannot be ruled out with any fast-moving cells.

    Areas of storms may be ongoing early in the day from MO into IL and
    IN, with hail threat. Further development is possible near the
    boundary and extending southwestward through afternoon, and into the
    evening as warm advection persists atop the surface layer.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TEXAS
    SOUTH PLAINS INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are possible Friday and Friday night across parts of
    west Texas, far eastern New Mexico and into western Oklahoma.
    Isolated hail is possible in surrounding states from southern Kansas
    into southwest Missouri.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong upper trough will move slowly eastward across the
    Southwest, with the upper low near the Four Corners by 12Z Saturday.
    An intense cyclonically curved midlevel jet streak will also move
    across AZ and NM, with height falls increasing into west TX late in
    the period. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will exist over the Gulf of
    Mexico.

    At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will extend roughly along
    I-40, from TX across OK and into TN with 50s and 60s F dewpoints to
    the south. There is model uncertainty regarding the position of this
    boundary and therefore SBCAPE and tornado/wind potential. Low
    pressure will develop ahead of the upper trough, over NM during the
    day and toward the TX border by 12Z Saturday when a cold front will
    take shape. While sporadic strong storms are expected during the day
    from OK into KS and MO, the primary severe risk will occur after 03Z
    across eastern NM and west TX.

    ...Southern Plains...
    An extensive band of rain and thunderstorms is expected to be
    ongoing Friday morning in the warm advection regime, with isolated
    hail possible from northern OK into southern KS and extending east
    into southern MO and northern AR.

    It is uncertain how much additional activity will form, if any,
    during the afternoon for the remainder of central OK into northwest
    TX. While moist and unstable, a capping inversion will exist with
    little in the way of lift. However, will maintain low probabilities
    for this conditional risk.

    The main threat of severe storms will be after 03Z ahead of the
    approaching upper trough and cold front. Storms are expected to form
    over far eastern NM and into western TX where low-level moisture
    backs westward toward the surface trough. While some capping is
    likely due to time of day, this cap will be surmountable given the
    forcing for ascent. Shear profiles will favor supercells, producing
    large hail and perhaps a tornado where capping is least problematic. Fast-moving storms may also produce isolated wind damage.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS AN AREA
    CENTERED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of severe storms may affect a portion of the lower
    Mississippi Valley area, centered on the Delta region on Sunday.
    Locally damaging wind gusts and possibly a tornado or two may occur,
    mainly during the evening hours.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large upper low is forecast to be exiting the Rockies and moving
    slowly into the central Plains Sunday, as a second low -- initially
    crossing the eastern Pacific -- digs southeastward to coastal
    northern California late. Meanwhile, troughing over the Northeast
    will shift eastward with time, across the Canadian Maritimes and
    western Atlantic.

    At the surface, a weakening Pacific front -- initially crossing
    eastern portions of the southern Plains -- will move eastward toward
    the lower Mississippi Valley. A weak wave may develop along the
    front over Arkansas during the late afternoon/early evening, and
    move eastward to near Memphis through early Monday morning.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley region and vicinity...
    A near-frontal band of rain showers is forecast to advance across
    eastern portions of Oklahoma and Texas through the day Sunday, as
    the weakening Pacific front advances. Limited instability suggests
    only local/occasional lighting for the most part, into the afternoon
    hours.

    As modest heating contributes to some boundary-layer destabilization
    and eventually very weak surface-based CAPE across roughly the
    eastern half of Arkansas by late afternoon, a few stronger
    convective cells may evolve. This zone of somewhat more robust
    convection will then shift across the Mississippi Delta region
    through the region, and eventually portions of western Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi.

    Though minimal CAPE will very likely be a limiting factor,
    deep-layer shear (both speed and directional shear) suggests that
    any updraft which could take root within a locally/slightly more
    unstable environment ahead of the front would likely acquire
    rotation. Locally damaging wind gusts would be possible, along with
    a tornado or two. Otherwise, a few stronger updrafts within the
    frontal band of convection may be capable of locally gusty/damaging
    winds, or a brief QLCS-type tornado. Risk -- though very
    local/limited -- may persist through the end of the period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE SUNDAY
    AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN
    ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the lower
    Mississippi Valley Sunday through Sunday night, mainly late in the
    afternoon and evening across parts of central and southeastern
    Arkansas, where they may pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and a
    couple of tornadoes.

    ...Synopsis...
    Within a southern branch of split westerlies emanating from the
    mid-latitude Pacific, it appears that a broad mid-level low,
    currently centered to the west/southwest of the Four Corners, will
    remain progressive through this period. Surrounding troughing is
    forecast to remain in phase with a belt of westerlies emanating from
    the subtropical Pacific, and models indicate that a significant
    upstream mid-latitude short wave trough will dig into the Pacific
    coast region by 12Z Wednesday. As a couple of vigorous smaller
    scale perturbations pivot around its eastern through northern, and
    southern through eastern, periphery, the center of the closed low is
    forecast to redevelop northeast of the southern Rockies into the
    central Great Plains Sunday through Sunday night. This will occur
    to the south of ridging within the northern branch, in the wake of a
    vigorous northern branch short wave trough forecast to dig across
    the northern Atlantic Seaboard.

    In response to these developments, cold surface ridging likely will
    be reinforced across much of the northern Great Plains, Upper
    Midwest and Great Lakes region through the northern and middle
    Atlantic Seaboard, while warmer but dry conditions persist across
    the Southeast and eastern Gulf of Mexico in association with
    lingering surface ridging. Across southern portions of the Great
    Plains, it appears that an occluding surface low center, initially
    over western Kansas, will migrate northwestward and weaken, while
    another low center forms to its southwest and migrates east
    northeast of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle region.

    Models indicate that a Pacific front trailing the occluding low
    center will surge east of the southern Great Plains during the day
    Sunday, but weaken while doing so. As it does, it appears that a
    relatively narrow moist, warm sector will generally become confined
    to portions of Louisiana into Arkansas by peak afternoon heating,
    before shifting across the lower Mississippi Valley overnight.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Forecast soundings indicate only weak to modest boundary-layer
    warming within the moistening warm sector, beneath relatively warm
    mid-level layers which probably will limit peak mixed-layer CAPE to
    around 500 J/kg or less. However, in the presence of strong
    deep-layer shear, the environment probably will become at least
    conditionally supportive of strong to severe thunderstorm
    development.

    In association with the perturbation pivoting around the southern
    through eastern periphery of the southern branch mid-level low,
    models continue to suggest that an area of lower pressure or a weak
    frontal wave could become a focus for strengthening large-scale
    ascent across southwestern through northeastern Arkansas late Sunday
    afternoon and evening. This may be accompanied by southerly 850 mb
    jet strengthening from 30-50 kt, which could contribute to low-level
    hodographs supportive of supercell structures posing a risk for
    damaging wind gusts and/or a couple of tornadoes. Initially, storm
    development may be largely discrete in nature before perhaps
    evolving into a broken line while spreading eastward across the
    lower Mississippi Valley overnight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Appreciable severe risk is not evident at this time across the U.S.
    on Monday.

    ...Discussion...
    An upper low initially over the central Plains is forecast to shift
    northward, weakening with time ahead of the next upper system
    progged to dig southeastward across California and Nevada through
    the day, and into Arizona late.

    At the surface, a weakening front will continue to dissipate as it
    shifts eastward into the central Gulf Coast states. A cold front is
    also forecast to move southeastward across California and Nevada,
    and eventually into the Desert Southwest, ahead of the
    aforementioned upper system

    Showers are forecast across California and into the Great Basin
    during the day, in conjunction with the advance of the upper system.
    An occasional/embedded lightning flash may occur, but any coverage
    should remain too sparse to warrant a thunder area.

    In the central Gulf Coast region/Mid South, a zone of weak
    convection will likely shift west-to-east across the area, in tandem
    with the weakening surface front. However, warm air in the 700 to
    600mb layer should hinder deeper convection/lightning across much of
    the area. A stronger cell or two may occur during the afternoon
    near peak heating, across the northeastern Mississippi/northern Alabama/southern Tennessee area. However, while a locally stronger
    wind gust or brief tornado cannot be ruled out entirely, any
    severe-weather potential appears too low to justify issuance of a
    severe risk area attm.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR
    EAST-CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI INTO NORTHERN ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong-to-severe storms are possible across parts of
    east-central Mississippi into northern Alabama Monday afternoon and
    evening. Damaging wind gusts, hail and possibly a tornado may
    accompany these storms.

    ...Mississippi/Alabama Vicinity...

    A somewhat conditional severe threat appears possible Monday
    afternoon and evening across portions of eastern MS into northern
    AL. An upper low and associated shortwave trough over the central
    Plains/Ozarks vicinity will lift northward through the period. This
    will result in neutral to slightly falling heights across the TN
    Valley. However, strong deep layer southwesterly flow will remain
    over the region, and 0-6 km shear profiles will support supercells.
    At the surface, a weak low will migrate east, roughly along the I-70
    corridor from KS into IL. A weak cold front will push eastward
    across western TN and northern MS through 00z, while a backdoor cold
    front drops southwest from eastern TN/GA and stalls over far
    northeast AL into central GA. This will result in a narrow warm
    sector across parts of MS into AL, characterized by low-to-mid 60s
    dewpoints. Midlevel lapse rates will remain modest, around 6.5-7
    C/km, but increasing low level moisture and surface heating into the
    70s should result in 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE across the outlook area.

    Convergence along the cold front will be weak, and strong forcing
    associated with the upper low will be lifting north of the region.
    As a result, storm development will be mostly diurnally-driven and
    more intense cells will be limited in coverage. Nevertheless, a
    small corridor will exist where favorable instability and shear will
    overlap such that if a cell does develop, it could become severe.
    Low level directional shear will be weak, but speed shear increases
    quickly with height such that low level hodographs will be modest
    but favorably curved. Locally damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado
    will be the main threat with any stronger cells that develop. Weak
    lapse rates and modest instability will limit large hail potential,
    but a couple of near-1 inch hail stones could accompany any severe
    cell as well.

    ...Central MO Vicinity...

    Low-topped thunderstorms are expected to develop Monday afternoon as
    the negatively-tilted shortwave trough lifts northward across the
    region. A west-east oriented surface boundary, associated with a
    weakening surface low shifting eastward across the region will be
    the focus of this development. Steepening midlevel lapse rates will
    result in weak elevated instability amid moderate shear. While these
    storms will remain elevated above a cool boundary layer, some small,
    sub-severe hail could accompany this activity.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
    MORNING...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from the lower
    Mississippi Valley through the central Gulf Coast states through the
    afternoon and early evening on Tuesday. Strong wind gusts, hail and
    a tornado or two are possible with this activity.

    Additional severe storms are expected across parts of Texas,
    Oklahoma and Kansas late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning.
    Large hail will be the main hazards with this activity, though
    strong gusts and a tornado can not be ruled out.

    ...Synopsis...

    A broad swath of moderate deep-layer southwesterly flow will extend
    from the southern Plains to the TN and OH Valley vicinities, ahead
    of a compact upper low ejecting eastward from the lower CO Valley to
    the southern Plains. Strong capping across the southern Plains will
    limit thunderstorm potential until the evening/overnight hours
    across the southern Plains. Further east, thunderstorms will be
    ongoing across parts of the lower MS Valley into GA in a warm
    advection regime.

    ...Southern Plains to Ozarks vicinity...

    A midlevel ridge will reside across the region through the
    afternoon. This will maintain a capping inversion and limit
    convection through the first half of the period. By evening, the
    upper low/shortwave trough will eject eastward, resulting in falling
    heights and cooling aloft. Southerly low level flow will transport
    Gulf moisture northward ahead of a developing surface low over the
    southern High Plains. Upper 50s to low 60s F dewpoints will spread
    across much of central and northern TX and into the eastern
    two-thirds of OK and much of AR, with lower values sneaking into
    southeast KS and southern MO after 00z. As the surface low
    progresses eastward, a Pacific front/dryline will spread across
    western OK/TX, and become oriented roughly along/to the east of the
    I-35 corridor in OK/TX by 12z Wednesday.

    After 00z, and more likely after 06z, increasing moisture beneath
    very steep midlevel lapse rates amid strong ascent and favorable
    deep layer wind profiles will mainly support large hail potential.
    This potential will extend along the eastward-advancing cold front
    across western/central TX, in storm clusters developing near the
    surface low, and along a west-east oriented warm front near the
    OK/KS border into northwest AR. Convection will likely remain
    somewhat elevated along the cold front given timing during the
    overnight hours, and storm motion vectors that could favor
    undercutting by the front. However, strong low level shear and
    enlarged low level hodographs will support rotating cells,
    especially in the vicinity of the warm front. Should a storm become
    rooted in the boundary layer on the warm side of the front, a
    tornado or damaging wind gusts can not be ruled out.

    ...Central Gulf Coast States...

    Isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at the start of the
    period across portions of the lower Mississippi Valley/central Gulf
    Coast region, in an area of persistent low-level warm advection/weak
    ascent. With time, a backdoor front over Georgia, and the weakening
    Pacific cool front crossing the central Gulf Coast region, will
    loosely consolidate into a west-to-east warm front, that will lift
    slowly northward through the afternoon and evening as the western
    synoptic system ejects into the southern Plains.

    Mid-60s surface dewpoints will reside across much of the region,
    with temperatures warming into the 70s, providing a broad area of
    500-1250 J/kg MLCAPE. Larger-scale forcing will remain weak across
    the region as the upper trough remains well west of the area.
    However, effective shear greater than 35 kt and modest midlevel
    lapse rates will support periodically organized convection.
    South/southwesterly flow beneath 700 mb will remain modest, less
    than 25-30 kt in most cases, but small, curved low level hodographs
    could result in some weakly rotating cells. Periodic clusters of
    storms across this region through afternoon/early evening will
    likely occur, with a few storms possibly becoming transiently
    severe. Locally damaging winds, marginal hail, or even a tornado
    cannot be ruled out. Given the transient threat over a large area, a
    Marginal risk will be maintained.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE AND MUCH OF
    MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A regional outbreak of severe storms is expected Wednesday into
    Wednesday night across portions of the lower Mississippi Valley into
    Alabama. Widespread severe storms capable of producing tornadoes
    (several of which may be intense), very large hail and intense
    damaging wind gusts are expected. More than one round of severe
    storms are possible across parts of Mississippi into Alabama during
    the afternoon into the overnight hours.

    ...Synopsis...

    A compact and intense upper low over the southern Plains will eject
    eastward to the Ozark Plateau/lower MS Valley on Wednesday. A
    surface low centered over northeast OK will develop east/northeast
    in tandem with the upper system. At the beginning of the period, a
    cold front will extend southward from the low across eastern OK into
    eastern TX before arcing southwest into south TX. A warm front
    draped northwest to southeast from near the MO/AR border into
    northern AL will gradually lift northward through the period. There
    is some uncertainty in how far north this boundary will lift across
    northern GA/eastern TN given strong cold air damming across the
    Carolinas until very late in the period. The cold front should push
    eastward to Middle TN/central AL and the western FL Panhandle.
    Across the broad warm sector, dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s are
    expected beneath steepening lapse rates and intense vertical shear,
    resulting in an environment capable of supporting a widespread
    severe weather outbreak.

    ...Southern Plains to the Mid-MS Valley...

    Convection will be ongoing Wednesday morning near the surface low,
    southward along the cold front, and eastward along the northward
    retreating warm front from central AR into northern MS/AL. Any
    convection north of the warm front will be elevated and pose a
    threat mainly for large hail. However, shear profiles will improve
    through the morning and surface-based storms near the triple point
    and along the warm front are possible and will increase the risk for
    damaging gusts and a few tornadoes. Further south along the cold
    front across eastern OK into eastern TX, convection will move into
    an increasing unstable and moist environment. A line of supercells
    and line segments is expected to develop as convection moves into AR
    and approaches the Sabine Valley. All severe hazards are expected
    with this activity from Wednesday morning into the afternoon.

    ...Lower MS Valley into AL/GA...

    Multiple rounds of intense, severe convection will be possible,
    mainly across MS/AL on Wednesday afternoon into the overnight hours.
    Convection will intensify along the eastward progressing cold front
    across central and eastern AR/LA during the late morning/afternoon
    as it encounters effective shear greater than 60 kt, MLCAPE around
    1500-2500 J/kg and midlevel lapse rates around 7-8 C/km. Fast storm
    motion, with 925-700 mb flow greater than 40 kt will support
    widespread damaging gusts with some gusts greater than 65 kt
    expected. Large hail (some greater than 2 inch in diameter,
    especially from the AR/MO border into northern LA, southwest TN and northern/central MS) is also expected with this activity.

    Further east across northeast LA into MS and AL a more concerning
    scenario appears possible. Most forecast guidance agrees that a
    round of afternoon thunderstorms are expected. This activity is
    expected to develop in weaker ascent, driven by heating and low
    level warm advection. Strong 0-3 km shear near 30-40 kt will already
    be in place with enlarged low level hodographs evident. Given weaker
    forcing, this activity will have an opportunity to remain more
    discrete and any cell will quickly become a supercell capable of
    producing strong tornadoes. As a 40-50 kt low level jet increases
    around 00-03z, intense supercells are expected to advance eastward
    along with the cold front across MS and into AL overnight. This will
    bring a second round of significant severe storms capable of intense
    tornadoes, large hail and intense damaging winds across much of
    MS/AL. If these trends are maintained, an upgrade to a High risk
    could be necessary with the initial Day 1 Convective Outlook at 06z
    tonight.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    CENTRAL AND EASTERN GEORGIA INTO MUCH OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTH
    CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A regional outbreak of severe storms and tornadoes is possible on
    Thursday from parts of east-central Georgia northeastward across
    South Carolina and North Carolina. Significant tornadoes, wind
    damage and large hail will be possible from morning into afternoon.
    Severe thunderstorms will also be possible from parts of the eastern
    Gulf Coast into the southern and central Appalachians.

    ...North Carolina/South Carolina/Georgia/Virginia/Florida...
    A positively-tilted upper-level low will move into the Tennessee
    Valley on Thursday as a 75 to 90 kt mid-level jet moves across the
    Southeast and Carolinas. At the surface, a low will move eastward
    into the central Appalachians. At 12Z, a warm front will be located
    from northern Georgia eastward across northern South Carolina. This
    boundary will move northward across central and eastern North
    Carolina during the morning. To the south of this front, surface
    dewpoints across the warm sector will be in the mid to upper 60s F.
    As surface temperatures warm, a pocket of moderate instability is
    expected to develop to the south of the warm front across eastern
    North Carolina by late morning. Convective development will be aided
    by the low-level jet. Severe thunderstorms associated with large
    hail, wind damage and a tornado threat, is expected during the mid
    morning hours.

    Further to the west, a band of large-scale ascent associated with
    the approaching upper-level system will overspread the central
    Appalachians around midday. Thunderstorms are expected to initiate
    just ahead of this band of ascent around midday and move eastward
    into the Appalachian foothills during the early afternoon. Ahead of
    the storms, the environment will consist of MLCAPE in the 2000 to
    2500 J/kg range, 0-6 km shear of 50 to 60 kt and storm relative
    helicities of 300 to 350 m2/s2. This will support intense supercell development. Tornadoes, wind damage and large hail will be likely
    with the stronger storms. A long-track tornado will be possible
    along or in the vicinity of the warm front. The time of maximum
    threat is forecast to be in the 18Z to 22Z time window. A regional
    outbreak of severe storms, along with several significant tornadoes
    are expected from discrete cells that develop across the warm sector
    from central North Carolina southward across much of South Carolina.

    Further to the southwest into Georgia, a line of strong to severe
    thunderstorms is expected to move into the area form the west during
    the morning. A corridor of moderate instability is forecast to
    develop just ahead of this line by late morning with instability
    continuing to increase through the afternoon. This line of storms
    will have access to a strong low-level jet, extending northeastward
    across south-central and eastern Georgia. the environment should
    have MLCAPE of 1500 to 2000 J/kg along with 0-6 Km shear of 60 to 70
    kt. This will be favorable for supercell and severe bowing line
    segments. Supercells that form in the line may produce tornadoes,
    wind damage and large hail. A potential for significant tornadoes
    will exist with cells that form at the north end of gaps in the
    line. This band of storms is expected to be accompanied by
    widespread wind damage, moving across eastern Georgia and South
    Carolina during the mid to late afternoon. Wind gusts of greater
    than 65 kt will be possible with the more intense bowing line
    segments. The southern part of the band may extend as far south as
    the Florida Panhandle, where a severe threat will exist in the
    morning and early afternoon.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley/Central Appalachians...
    An upper-level low will move eastward across the Tennessee Valley on
    Thursday. Ahead of the system, a line of strong thunderstorms may be
    ongoing at the start of the period from parts of far eastern
    Tennessee northward into far western Virginia. Behind the line,
    surface temperature will warm during the day resulting in a corridor
    of moderate instability, from eastern Kentucky into the western
    Virginias. The instability combined with strong large-scale ascent,
    steep mid-level lapse rates and 0-6 km shear of 50 to 60 kt will be
    favorable for severe storms. Large hail, wind damage and a tornado
    or two will be possible across the upper Ohio Valley during the
    afternoon.

    Severe weather is not expected across the U.S. on Friday.

    ...South Florida...

    A cold front will be situated over south Florida by 12Z Friday. A
    moist boundary layer with upper 60s F surface dewpoints will reside
    in the warm sector with 1000-1500 J/kg MUCAPE. A few showers will
    occur within the zone of shallow frontal forcing. Point-forecast
    soundings indicate an inversion near 700 mb, and with deeper forcing
    likely to remain well north of warm sector, most convection is
    expected to remain shallow. However, there is some chance for an
    isolated thunderstorm before the front moves offshore by late
    morning.

    ...Pacific Northwest through northern Rockies...

    A few thunderstorms will be possible during the day, mainly near the
    Pacific NW coast in association with cold air aloft and steep lapse
    rates in vicinity of an inland-moving shortwave trough. Other
    thunderstorms will be possible along a cold front moving through the
    northern Rockies during the afternoon. In both cases, very weak
    instability suggests coverage will remain sparse.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe weather is not anticipated over the U.S. on Saturday

    ...Synopsis...
    A dry, continental air mass will be in place across much of the
    central and eastern CONUS early Saturday morning. Some modification
    is anticipated along the southern and western periphery of this air
    mass as southerly low-level flow increases ahead of an upper trough
    traversing the western CONUS. However, low-level moisture will
    remain well removed from the forcing for ascent associated with this
    upper trough, and no thunderstorms are expected across the central
    and eastern CONUS.

    Showers and a few isolated thunderstorms are possible within the
    frontal band attendant to the western CONUS upper trough as it moves
    from the northern Great Basin into the central Rockies. A few deeper
    convective cores may also develop within the persistent forcing for
    ascent in the wake of the lead frontal band. Steep mid-level lapse
    rates throughout the region will contribute to modest instability
    and the potential for a few storms to become deep enough for
    lightning production.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected over the U.S. on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper trough over the western U.S. will develop southward,
    forming a closed low over the Four Corners region by Monday morning.
    As the trough develops southward, it will merge stronger southern
    stream flow near the international border/northwest Mexico and
    moderate southwesterly flow will overspread the southern
    Rockies/High Plains vicinity by the end of the period. In response
    to strong height falls, a surface low is forecast to develop over
    eastern NM and shift eastward into the TX Panhandle overnight, while
    a weak cold front drops southward through the central Plains. Modest
    low level moisture, with surface dewpoints mainly in the 40s, will
    exist ahead of the surface low/front across much of TX/OK/KS,
    precluding much in the way of surface-based instability.
    Nevertheless, steepening midlevel lapse rates as the upper trough
    ejects eastward will support weak elevated instability. As a result,
    a few elevated thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the
    southern Plains late Sunday night into early Monday morning.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are expected late Sunday centered over the
    central High Plains. Severe storms are unlikely, but small hail
    cannot be ruled out.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Sunday, a positive-tilt upper trough will exist over the West,
    and will amplify into Sunday morning as a speed max aloft
    intensifies across far southern AZ/NM and into northern Mexico.
    Meanwhile, a weak upper trough will remain over the Mid Atlantic,
    with a surface ridge extending from New England into TX and across
    the western Gulf of Mexico.

    As a result of the high pressure ridge, only weak moisture return is
    expected across the southern Plains in advance of the western trough
    as southerly surface winds increase. As low pressure develops late
    in the period from NM into west TX, lift will increase, with
    elevated instability developing from the TX Panhandle into western
    KS.

    Forecast soundings indicate a few hundred J/kg of MUCAPE will
    develop, rooted between 850 mb and 700 mb. While effective
    deep-layer shear will favor storm longevity, total instability may
    only favor small hail, and severe storms appear unlikely.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
    CENTRAL/SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Monday
    evening and Monday night across parts of central and southern
    Oklahoma into northern Texas. Hail and gusty winds will be the main
    hazards with these storms.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper shortwave trough over the Four Corners and northern Mexico
    will develop eastward across the central/southern Plains on Monday.
    In response to strong height falls, a surface low over the TX
    Panhandle will deepen and lift northeast across KS toward northwest
    MO by Tuesday morning. Strengthening southerly low level flow will
    transport modest Gulf moisture northward across into OK and the
    Ozarks ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front. Periods of showers
    and thunderstorms are expected across the southern/central Plains
    and Ozarks, with some marginally severe storms possible near the
    cold front from north Texas into southern/central Oklahoma Monday
    evening into the overnight hours.

    ...OK/TX...

    Instability will remain weak across the region, in part due to only
    weak surface heating and modest moisture return ahead of the cold
    front/upper trough. However, steepening midlevel lapse rates will
    support 500-750 J/kg MLCAPE in a narrow corridor near/just ahead of
    the cold front. A capping inversion will limit surface-based storms
    through peak heating, and some boundary layer inhibition will likely
    persist through the end of the period. As a result, thunderstorms
    near the cold front will likely remain elevated. As a low level jet
    increases during the evening, some organized cells capable of hail
    and perhaps some gusty winds will be possible. Some upward
    development into a fast-moving line or line segments is possible as
    the cold front sweeps eastward toward eastern OK/northeast TX
    overnight and a low-end severe threat could persist into the early
    overnight hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF OKLAHOMA...NORTHERN AND CENTRAL TEXAS...AND THE EASTERN TEXAS
    PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Several severe thunderstorms are possible Monday evening and Monday
    night across parts of Oklahoma into Texas. Hail and damaging gusts
    will be most likely, with perhaps an isolated tornado.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong shortwave trough will move from the Four Corners region
    Monday morning into the southern High Plains by late afternoon,
    becoming negatively tilted by 12Z Tue across KS, OK, and AR. Low
    pressure is expected to develop over the TX Panhandle or South
    Plains during the afternoon, with a dryline and heating over west TX
    during the day. A relatively cool but moistening air mass will exist
    east of the dryline, from southern KS into OK and central TX. Abroad
    belt of 40-50 kt southerly 850 mb winds will develop, aiding theta-e
    advection. The most favorable large-scale lift will move from the
    eastern TX Panhandle across OK and north TX, and this is where the
    greatest confidence of a few severe storms is currently.

    ...TX and OK...
    While model differences do exist, a strong upper trough with
    significant cooling aloft/height falls will affect the region Monday
    afternoon and night. Details regarding the best area for severe
    storms may be best resolved into the Day 1 time frame, with a
    possible Slight Risk in later updates. For now, have expanded the
    Marginal Risk to include much of northern and central Texas, where a front/dryline will pass through Monday night.

    As far as evolution, the initial severe risk is expected to form
    Monday afternoon along the dryline from the eastern TX Panhandle
    into western OK, and perhaps southward into west-central TX, in
    close proximity to the steeper low-level lapse rates. The air mass
    farther east toward I-35 will likely experience substantial clouds
    and precipitation during the day, and may limit the initiated
    eastward extend of the dryline convection. Still, a narrow zone of
    severe potential is forecast, with isolated supercells possible
    producing large hail. A brief tornado is possible.

    Due to strong cooling aloft, storms may continue to be strong to
    potentially severe overnight with 500 mb temperatures falling into
    the lower -20 C to -24 C range across OK and northern TX. A slow
    transition from rain and embedded storms to more substantial storms
    is possible, with wind and hail risk.

    Less confidence exists for storms farther south into central TX, but
    models such as the ECMWF and 4km NSSL WRF show substantial storm
    converge overnight.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...WITH ANOTHER AREA CENTERED OVER
    NORTHERN MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    southern Louisiana into southern Mississippi on Tuesday, and from
    northern Missouri into adjacent southern Iowa and western Illinois
    during the afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough will move in negative-tilt fashion from OK and KS
    Tuesday morning into MO, IL and IA by late afternoon, providing
    cooling aloft and increasing shear. To the south, neutral height
    tendencies aloft will exist across the lower MS Valley, as another
    upper trough amplifies over the Southwest.

    At the surface, low pressure is forecast to move from eastern KS
    during the day into IA by evening, filling slowly with time. A cold
    front will arc southeastward from the low, situated over MO during
    the afternoon. Southerly surface winds will maintain low to possibly
    mid 50s F dewpoints, resulting in sufficient instability for
    scattered diurnal storms.

    To the south, the more robust low-level moisture will exist ahead of
    a stalling front, from central LA into southern MS with mid 60s F
    dewpoints common. The eastward extend of the better moisture will be
    limited by trajectories emanating out of a dry/modifying air mass
    over the Southeast, but this effective warm front will provide
    enhanced lift.

    ...LA into MS...
    Numerous showers and storms should be ongoing along and ahead of the
    cold front from LA into MS, with an instability axis near the Sabine
    river at 12Z Tuesday. Much of this activity may be effectively
    elevated at this time. By midday, surface parcels are likely to
    become better incorporated into the ongoing convection, with new
    development possible over central LA into southwestern MS. Although
    the upper trough will continue shifting away from the area,
    low-level convergence and ample moisture will ensure continued storm development, and a few severe storms will be possible. Strong
    deep-layer shear as well as stronger low-level SRH with eastward
    extend may support a supercell or two. If the supercells can
    maintain access to the more unstable air to the southwest of the
    diffuse warm front, a tornado would be possible. Otherwise, locally
    strong gusts or hail is expected with mixed-mode storms.

    ...MO...IA...IL...
    Early day rain and storms should quickly shift east across MO and AR
    along the low-level jet axis. Although the surface low will be
    slowly filling, daytime heating will produce a plume of steep
    low-level lapse rates across much of central MO and extending into
    southwest IA. With 50s F dewpoints and cold air aloft, the result
    will be an uncapped and sufficiently unstable air mass to support
    low-topped cells, including a few supercells. A broken arc of storms
    is expected to form after 18Z over western MO, moving northeastward
    toward southern IA and western IL by 00Z. Veering winds with height
    as well as favorable low-level buoyancy may support a brief tornado,
    along with marginal hail.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE ARKLATEX INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible over parts of the
    lower Mississippi Valley and southern Plains, mainly from Wednesday
    evening into the overnight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A lead shortwave trough should advance northeastward Wednesday from
    the Upper MS Valley to the Great Lakes. A separate, low-amplitude
    shortwave trough should also move across parts of the southern
    Plains Wednesday afternoon, in advance of the main upper trough/low
    over northern Mexico and the Southwest that should eject across the
    southern Plains late Wednesday evening/overnight. The primary
    surface low is forecast to develop northeastward across the Upper
    Midwest and Great Lakes through the day. A trailing cold front
    should stall across portions of central/south TX, before lifting
    northward into northeast TX and the lower MS Valley as a warm front
    by Wednesday evening. A convectively reinforced boundary should also
    be in place near the central Gulf Coast at the start of the period
    Wednesday morning. This boundary should also lift slowly northward
    through the day.

    ...Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Wednesday morning along the
    central Gulf Coast region, mainly southern LA/MS/AL. This convection
    may continue to pose an isolated/marginal severe threat through the
    morning, but the better severe potential will probably tend to
    remain offshore where greater low-level moisture and related
    instability should be present. Additional thunderstorm development
    across the lower MS Valley and southern Plains along the
    northward-developing warm front appears unlikely through much of the
    day, as a low-level inversion/cap should inhibit robust updraft
    development.

    As the primary upper trough/low moves eastward across the southern
    High Plains late Wednesday, a southerly low-level jet should
    gradually strengthen across parts of central/east TX into the lower
    MS Valley. Elevated instability should increase Wednesday
    evening/night across this region along/north of the surface warm
    front, as somewhat steepened mid-level lapse rates develop eastward
    from the higher terrain of northern Mexico and west TX. Current
    expectations are for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms to form
    near the ArkLaTex region Wednesday evening, and subsequently move
    northeastward towards the Mid-South through the end of the period.
    The presence of 1000-2000 J/kg of MUCAPE and 45-55+ kt of effective
    bulk shear suggest a threat for mainly large hail. A tornado or two
    and occasional strong/gusty winds cannot be ruled out either given
    the strength of the low-level flow/shear. But, this tornado/wind
    threat appears rather conditional at this time, and dependent on
    sufficient low-level moisture to support surface-based storms.

    Farther west, at least weak instability should develop by early
    Wednesday evening across parts of north-central TX into OK. A
    secondary cold front will move eastward across the southern Plains
    late in the wake of the low-amplitude shortwave trough. Isolated to
    perhaps widely scattered storms may develop across parts of
    central/north TX into OK during the evening, where strong deep-layer
    shear and sufficient instability should support a threat for locally
    strong to severe wind gusts and large hail. This isolated severe
    threat may continue through the overnight hours into parts of east
    TX, but uncertainty remains too high regarding surface-based storm
    potential to include a larger Slight Risk area across central/east
    TX at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/MID-SOUTH INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The potential for an outbreak of severe storms including several
    long-track strong tornadoes, scattered large to very large hail, and severe/destructive winds, will exist Thursday into Thursday evening
    across a portion of the lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley,
    and Southeast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough with attendant 70-100 kt+ mid-level jet will
    eject northeastward from the southern Plains across the lower/mid MS
    Valley on Thursday, and continue over the OH Valley and lower Great
    Lakes region Thursday night. At the surface, a weak low over
    northeast TX at the beginning of the period Thursday morning is
    expected to likewise develop northeastward to the mid MS Valley
    through the day while deepening. A warm front attendant to this
    cyclone will likely lift northward across the lower MS
    Valley/Mid-South and TN Valley towards the lower OH Valley by
    Thursday evening.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast...
    Storms will likely be ongoing at the start of the period from
    northeast TX into southern AR and northern MS/AL and TN. This
    activity will likely be supported by a southerly low-level jet and
    related warm advection. These storms should shift northward through
    the morning, allowing for destabilization via diurnal heating to
    occur across the lower MS Valley. Rich low-level moisture with at
    least mid to upper 60s surface dewpoints (perhaps lower 70s), should
    advect northward across parts of the lower/mid MS Valley, TN Valley,
    and Southeast by Thursday afternoon. This increasing moisture,
    coupled with diurnal heating, will likely support MLCAPE of
    1500-2000 J/kg developing over a fairly broad portion of these
    regions.

    A pronounced low-level jet (50-60+ kt) will overlie much of this
    region as well, as large-scale ascent from the ejecting shortwave
    trough overspreads the lower/mid MS Valley vicinity. Strongly
    veering and strengthening wind profiles from the surface through mid
    levels will support supercells. 0-1 km SRH along/south of the
    surface warm front will likely reach 300-500 m2/s2, and low-level
    mesocyclones capable of producing strong, long-track tornadoes
    appear likely with any supercells that can form. Scattered large
    hail, some of which may be 2+ inches in diameter, and
    severe/destructive winds also appear probable, both with supercells
    and any bowing line segments that can develop. At this time, the
    best potential for strong tornadoes appears to extend from parts of central/northern MS into western/middle TN and central/northern AL,
    mainly Thursday afternoon and evening as storms move generally
    northeastward. Concern does exist regarding the effect of storms
    forming during the morning on the development of instability, and
    potential for destructive interference from too many storms
    developing across the warm sector at the same time. Still, given the
    very favorable environment forecast across this region and the
    potential for numerous supercells, an upgrade to High Risk for
    multiple strong to potentially violent, long-track tornadoes may be
    needed in a later outlook update.

    ...Ohio Valley...
    Fairly widespread precipitation should occur over a majority of the
    lower OH Valley through the day. This should temper diurnal
    destabilization to some degree, but weak instability will probably
    still develop along/east of the surface low and northward-moving
    warm front. At least an isolated severe threat may develop late
    Thursday afternoon into the evening as the southerly low-level jet
    strengthens over this region and low-level moisture increases. The
    potential for a low-topped line of storms capable of producing
    damaging wind gusts and tornadoes will exist given the strength of
    the low-level flow and related shear. These storms will likely be
    tied to a cold front as it tracks northeastward through the evening
    and overnight hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
    OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AS WELL AS THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms are possible late Friday afternoon
    into early evening over a portion of north central and northeast
    Kansas and southeast Nebraska. Other strong storms are possible from
    the central and eastern Carolinas into southern Georgia. Late Friday
    night a few strong storms with hail might develop from northern
    Mississippi into western Tennessee.

    ...North-central through northeast Kansas...

    A weak surface low should develop across western KS by early evening
    in association with a minor shortwave trough ejecting northeast
    through the Central Plains during the afternoon. A warm front will
    extend east from the low through northeast KS with a dryline/trough
    southward through west central KS. Dewpoints in the upper 40s to
    near 50 F will advect northwestward through the warm sector. Despite
    the limited moisture, surface heating in presence of cold air aloft
    with steep lapse rates will support up to 500 J/kg MLCAPE by late
    afternoon or early evening. A few strong to severe storms might
    develop by late afternoon along the warm front near the KS/NEB
    border and farther west near the triple point. Strong vertical shear
    will favor low-topped supercells capable of large hail, locally
    strong gusts and perhaps a brief tornado. There is still some
    lingering uncertainty regarding the mesoscale details, so will
    maintain MRGL for this outlook. However, an upgrade to SLGT risk
    might be warranted in future updates.

    ...Carolinas through southern Georgia...

    A progressive shortwave trough will continue northeastward into the
    Northeast States Friday. A strong low-level jet initially from
    eastern NC into the Middle Atlantic will move offshore by mid day.
    Tendency will be for the deeper forcing and stronger low-level winds
    to lift northeast away from the moist warm sector present across the
    Carolinas and Gulf Coast States. A corridor of modest instability
    should evolve in pre-frontal warm sector in the presence of strong
    deep shear. While a few storms with mainly a threat for locally
    strong wind gusts might develop along the cold front during the day,
    tendency for low-level winds to veer and weaken in the presence of
    only shallow forcing suggests overall severe threat should remain
    marginal.

    ....Lower Mississippi Valley region...

    The front will stall along southern portions of the Gulf Coast
    States during the day, but should begin to move back northward as a
    warm front Friday evening as a southerly low-level jet strengthens. Destabilization and isentropic ascent resulting from this process
    might contribute to the development of mostly elevated storms later
    Friday night or early Saturday. A few instances of hail might occur
    with some of this activity.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
    OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY REGIONS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are possible Saturday across the lower Mississippi
    through Tennessee Valley regions. All hazards are possible including
    large hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes. Potential for a strong
    tornado exists from eastern Arkansas into western Tennessee. Other
    severe storms are possible across a portion of the Midwest with
    isolated damaging wind and large hail the main threats.

    ...Synopsis...
    At upper levels, a southern stream shortwave trough will move
    through the southern High Plains into central Texas. A northern
    stream shortwave trough will amplify across the upper Midwest. These
    features will eventually phase late in the period near the
    Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a warm front in the Southeast
    will advance northward before slowing/stalling in the vicinity of
    the Tennessee Valley. A surface cyclone will deepen across Illinois
    and Wisconsin and bring a cold front through the upper Midwest
    southward into the lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Lower Mississippi through Tennessee Valleys...
    Moisture return will be ongoing at the start of the period and
    through the day. With upper 60s to low 70s F dewpoint currently
    along the Gulf Coast, it seems probable that mid to upper 60s
    dewpoints will exist in the warm sector. Given potential for
    elevated thunderstorms to develop along the northward advancing warm
    front, there is some uncertainty as to how far north the effective
    boundary will be. Even so, surface heating should support
    boundary-layer destabilization with 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE by the
    afternoon. Effective shear will be strong at 50-65 kts. Organized
    storms will be capable of all severe hazards. The greatest potential
    for tornadoes and larger hail will exist with storms that develop on
    the slowing warm front where more cellular development would be
    possible. Later in the evening, the cold front will move through the
    region and damaging wind gusts will become the primary threat,
    though QLCS circulations will also be possible given adequate
    low-level shear profiles.

    ...Midwest...
    Mid-level cooling along with the northern stream trough will support
    storm development along the cold front during the afternoon. Limited boundary-layer moisture will keep buoyancy more marginal with
    northward extent, though 1000 J/kg MLCAPE is possible. Strong
    deep-layer wind profiles and cold temperatures aloft will support
    marginally severe hail and isolated damaging wind gusts.

    ...Carolinas...
    A broad region of southerly flow will develop south of a stalled
    front within the Carolina Piedmont region. Isolated storms may
    develop along/near the boundary. Effective shear of 40-50 kts and
    relatively steep mid-level lapse rates will bring potential for
    marginally severe hail and damaging wind gusts. Wind gust potential
    will be maximized where parcels are surface based along and south of
    the boundary.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MID ATLANTIC...CAROLINAS AND SOUTHERN TO CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible from the Carolinas into the Mid
    Atlantic Sunday afternoon. A few strong to severe storms will also
    be possible from the central and southern Appalachians into parts of
    the Southeast.

    ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic/Southern and Central Appalachians...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward from the mid to upper
    Mississippi Valley into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley on Sunday.
    At the surface, a cold front will advance quickly eastward across
    the central and southern Appalachians as a surface low deepens in
    southwest Ontario. By midday, the warm sector will be located across
    all of the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic where surface dewpoints are
    forecast to be in the lower to mid 60s F. Convection is expected to
    develop along much of the front in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys
    during the morning. Thunderstorm development will likely take place
    as the storms move eastward into the central and southern
    Appalachians. An isolated wind damage threat will be possible with
    the stronger line segments as the storms move into the higher
    elevations during the late morning into early afternoon.

    Further to the east, moisture advection will take place across the
    Mid Atlantic as a 50 to 60 kt low-level jet strengthens during the
    day. Warming surface temperatures will result in a corridor of
    instability from the eastern Carolinas northward into eastern
    Virginia, where MLCAPE is expected to reach the 500 to 1000 J/kg
    range. The storms in the central and southern Appalachian Mountains
    should move quickly eastward across the Appalachian Foothills during
    the mid afternoon, reaching the lower elevations near peak heating.

    Forecast soundings along the instability axis from northern North
    Carolina into eastern Virginia at 21Z on Sunday have nearly
    unidirectional winds in the low to mid-levels with effective shear
    in the 60 to 70 knot range. In addition, 0-3 km lapse rates are
    forecast to peak near 7.5 C/km. This combined with about 40 kt of
    flow at 1 kilometer above ground should be favorable for damaging
    wind gusts. The fast moving nature of the storms could result in
    wind gusts above 65 knots along the leading edge of the stronger
    line segments. For this reason, a hatched significant wind contour
    has been maintained from parts of central and northern North
    Carolina northward into Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. In
    addition, the stronger cells in the line could rotate and have an
    isolated tornado threat. The line of storms is forecast to move
    offshore during the mid to late evening.

    ...Southeast...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward into the lower to mid
    Mississippi Valley today as a cold front advances southeastward into
    the Southeast. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints will be in the
    mid to upper 60s F from parts of southern and central Mississippi
    northeastward across much of Alabama and Georgia. As surface heating
    warms, a narrow corridor of moderate instability may develop ahead
    of the front. Thunderstorms are expected to form along the front
    around midday as low-level convergence increases. Steep low-level
    lapse rates and strong deep-layer shear may be enough for a marginal
    wind damage and hail threat during the early to mid afternoon.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEASTERN
    VIRGINIA AND ADJACENT NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are likely along an advancing cold front
    from the Mid-Atlantic into the Carolinas. The highest confidence in
    damaging winds is in southeastern Virginia and vicinity. Farther
    south and west, a few strong to severe storms are possible from
    Mississippi into Georgia.

    ...Synopsis...
    A potent upper-level shortwave trough will continue to intensify as
    it moves out of the Midwest and into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
    A surface cyclone will deepen in Ontario/Quebec with an attendant
    cold front roughly along the Appalachian crest. This front will move
    quickly eastward and serve as the focus for strong to severe storms
    from the Mid-Atlantic into the Carolinas and portions of the
    Southeast.

    ...Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas...
    Low-level flow ahead of the cold front is forecast to increase to
    40-60 kts in the lowest 1-2 km. This, along with the speed of the
    front, should favor strong to severe wind gusts. Some gusts could be
    in excess of 65 kts with the stronger storms. A relatively more
    favorable corridor for wind damage appears probable along the NC/VA
    border into southeast VA. Here, surface temperatures are expected to
    the mid 70s F with mid 60s F dewpoints, supportive of 1500-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. Forecast soundings show favorable thermodynamic profiles in
    the boundary-layer with around 7 C/km lapse rates by the afternoon.
    Given the potential for a line segment to develop along the front in
    this region, an Enhanced risk has been introduced. Low-level
    hodographs are favorable for tornadoes, particularly if discrete
    storms can develop ahead of the front.

    Farther north into the Mid-Atlantic, low-level wind fields will be
    stronger, but buoyancy will generally be less on account of
    decreased boundary-layer moisture and greater cloud cover limiting
    surface heating. However, 500+ J/kg MLCAPE will still exist will
    still favor severe, convectively augmented surface gusts. Should
    greater heating occur in pockets, closer to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE could
    develop and increase the overall threat for damaging winds.
    Tornadoes will also be possible, but low-level thermodynamics and
    storm-mode are more questionable this far north.

    ...Southeast...
    A few strong to severe storms will be possible along the cold front
    during the afternoon. Storm coverage and intensity becomes more
    questionable as with southwestward extent as the main upper-level
    forcing will be well removed from this region. However, residual
    strong 850-500 mb winds on the southern flank of the departing
    trough will support at least a marginal threat for damaging wind
    gusts. The threat will be maximized with any organized line segments
    that can develop. At this time it appears most likely to occur in
    portions of northern GA and western SC.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may develop on Monday across southern and
    central Florida. No severe thunderstorms are expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A cold front will move southward into the central Florida on Monday.
    Daytime heating along with surface dewpoints in the 60s F to the
    south of the front may result in enough instability for thunderstorm development during the afternoon. However, thunderstorm coverage
    should remain very isolated and no severe weather is expected.
    Elsewhere across the continental United States, thunderstorm
    development is not forecast Monday and Monday night.

    An isolated storm or two may occur along the sea breeze boundary in
    Florida. Weak forcing and warm temperatures aloft should keep
    thunderstorm coverage below 10%.

    A cold front will reach central/south Florida by early Monday. A
    diurnal sea breeze storm could occur along the western Florida
    coast, but warm air aloft keeps thunder probability below 10%. Later
    in the period, the surface high will shift east and the boundary
    will lift north. A subtle shortwave trough will move into southern
    Georgia overnight. Weak ascent within the frontal zone should keep
    thunderstorm chances minimal.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    ARKLATEX REGION INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS...

    CORRECTED FOR TEXT IN DISCUSSION

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are expected to develop across the Arklatex and lower
    Mississippi through Tennessee Valleys Tuesday and Tuesday night. A
    few strong to severe storms are possible.

    ...Arklatex through lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys...

    A positive-tilt upper trough will amplify southeast through the
    Plains and MS Valley region Tuesday accompanied by a cold front. The
    cold front will move into the central and southern Plains and middle
    MS Valley during the day, reaching the lower MS Valley and TN Valley
    regions during the evening and overnight. A warm front will advance
    northeast through the lower MS Valley during the day, and into the
    TN Valley Tuesday night.

    Modest destabilization will occur from eastern TX into the lower MS
    Valley as richer low-level moisture advects northward in wake of a
    warm front. A corridor of 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE is expected by late
    afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms should develop during
    the day, primarily within zone of isentropic ascent along and north
    of the warm front across the lower MS Valley region. This activity
    will spread northeast into the TN Valley Tuesday evening and
    overnight. The stronger winds aloft accompanying the amplifying
    upper trough will remain north of the warm sector, but will increase
    Tuesday evening and overnight. A modest southwesterly low-level jet
    will also shift east through the warm sector where vertical wind
    profiles from evening into the overnight will become sufficient for
    organized storms. However, current thinking is that most of the
    warm-advection storms will remain slightly elevated along and north
    of the warm front. Other storms will develop along the
    southeast-advancing cold front and spread into the Arklatex region
    during the evening where potential will exist for a few instances of
    hail and strong wind gusts. At this time confidence is not high
    enough for more than a MRGL risk category, but the area will
    continue to be monitored for a possible SLGT risk in day 1 updates.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF THE
    SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are possible on Wednesday across
    portions of the Southeast, with damaging gusts the primary severe
    threat. More isolated severe storms are also possible across parts
    of the Mid Atlantic, with the severe threat potentially continuing
    after dark.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper trough will continue to amplify while progressing eastward
    across the Ohio Valley towards the Atlantic coastline tomorrow
    (Wednesday). During the late morning/early afternoon, a surface low
    is expected to gradually develop in advance of the upper trough
    across the central Appalachians and move northeastward towards lower
    New England while an associated cold front will sag southward across
    the Southeast. Isolated to scattered thunderstorm development is
    expected ahead of the aforementioned surface low across the lower
    Hudson Valley and along the front extending into Texas. At the
    moment, buoyancy appears to be greatest across portions of
    Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, where the greatest coverage for thunderstorms and associated risk for severe is currently expected.
    However, while buoyancy is weaker across portions of the Carolina
    Piedmont into the Mid Atlantic, stronger dynamic forcing for ascent
    and kinematic fields may promote at least isolated severe storm
    development across this area as well.

    ...Portions of the Southeast U.S...
    Stronger flow aloft and associated upper support is expected to lag
    the surface cold front and remain roughly parallel to the baroclinic
    zone, likely promoting linear convective structures along the front
    forced primarily by low-level convergence. Nonetheless, deep
    moisture (characterized by upper 60s F dewpoints), and the presence
    of a diurnally heated/mixed boundary layer promoting 7.5 C/km
    low-level lapse rates are expected to foster 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE
    by late morning/early afternoon. The available instability and mixed
    boundary layer should support the potential for organized damaging
    gusts, with a Slight risk introduced. 6.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates
    and linear forcing suggest that marginally severe hail is possible,
    albeit on a more isolated basis. Lastly, a few CAMS have hinted at
    one or two discrete cells initiating ahead of the front. Should mature/sustained pre-frontal convection develop, enough low-level
    speed and directional shear will be present to support brief,
    transient rotation and a brief tornado cannot be completely ruled
    out.

    ...Portions of the Carolina Piedmont into the Mid Atlantic...
    By mid afternoon extending into the evening hours, scattered
    thunderstorm development is expected within a confluence zone ahead
    of the approaching surface low. Compared to areas farther southwest,
    upper flow will be more perpendicular to the cold front/surface lee
    troughing, with deep-layer ascent overspreading the area. A 30-40 kt
    low-level jet will also be in place, fostering up to 150-250 m2/s2
    effective SRH, suggesting that storm organization and transient
    low-level rotation is possible. However, instability is expected to
    be marginal despite mid 60s F dewpoints. Mediocre low and mid-level
    lapse rates currently support tall-skinny MLCAPE profiles,
    suggesting that the overall severe threat should be relatively
    localized/brief in nature. However, any storm that can manage to
    become organized/sustained may pose a threat for damaging gusts and
    perhaps a tornado.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Florida
    Peninsula Thursday. Severe weather appears unlikely across the
    contiguous United States.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will eject into the Atlantic as ridging aloft
    builds into the central U.S and a mid-level shortwave trough
    impinges on the Desert Southwest tomorrow. The departure of the East
    Coast trough and approach of the central U.S. ridge will foster
    widespread surface high pressure and large-scale tropospheric
    descent behind a cold front poised to cross the Florida Peninsula.
    As such, widespread stable conditions will limit thunder potential
    in the post-frontal environment across much of the CONUS. Ahead of
    the front, isolated to potentially scattered thunderstorms are
    expected during the afternoon and early evening hours across
    portions of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. 1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE residing atop 8 C/km lapse rates in the sfc-850 mb layer
    suggests that thermodynamically-driven downward momentum transport
    may promote modestly gusty conditions. A damaging gust cannot be
    completely ruled out, though the threat appears too conditional to
    delineate with severe probabilities at this time.

    A large-scale upper trough over the eastern CONUS will move to the

    across much of the western and central states. At the surface, high
    pressure will dominate the majority of the CONUS. A weak shortwave

    Severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast across the
    contiguous United States on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A flattened mid-level ridge will be centered over the central Great
    Plains into the Upper Midwest ahead of an amplifying mid-level
    trough over the Pacific Northwest. In the low levels, a broad area
    of low pressure will develop over the northern Great Plains to the
    southeast of a southward-moving cold front over the northern
    Rockies/northern High Plains. Southerly flow will advect upper 40s
    dewpoints into parts of NE. Although strong heating and a well
    mixed boundary layer will weaken the cap by late afternoon, little
    in the way of forcing for ascent will greatly limit thunderstorm
    coverage if convective initiation occurs. The possibility for
    isolated elevated thunderstorms or a small thunderstorm cluster will
    extend from parts of NE northeastward into the Upper Midwest
    primarily during the evening into the overnight. This activity will
    probably remain disorganized despite very steep 700-500 mb lapse
    rates via an elevated mixed layer.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...

    A low-amplitude mid/upper ridge centered over the northern/central
    Plains will slowly shift eastward toward the Midwest/upper Great
    Lakes vicinity by Monday morning. This will occur as a shortwave
    upper trough develops southeastward across the Pacific
    Northwest/northern Rockies vicinity. At the surface, broad low
    pressure/lee trough will develop over portions of the
    northern/central High Plains while strong high pressure persists
    over the southeastern U.S.

    Southerly low level flow will allow mid 40s to low 50s surface
    dewpoints to spread northward beneath the upper ridge into portions
    of the mid/lower MO Valley and central/southern Plains vicinity.
    Very steep midlevel lapse rate will spread eastward into the
    central/northern Plains vicinity, resulting in weak MLCAPE during
    the afternoon and evening. However, weak forcing and a capping
    inversion will likely limit convective development for much of the
    day. By evening, weak height falls and a developing low over NE may
    be sufficient for isolated high-based thunderstorm development from
    far southeast CO/western KS/eastern NE. This activity is expected to
    remain unorganized and sub-severe, though may continue into the
    overnight hours into parts of IA/southern MN/southwest WI.

    Additional thunderstorms could develop during peak heating closer to
    higher terrain into northeast NM and near the Davis Mountains in
    southwest TX. This activity will be diurnally driven and should
    dissipate quickly with sunset.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the upper Mississippi Valley and parts of northwest Texas on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...
    In the mid to upper levels, a disturbance will glance the Upper
    Midwest as it moves east from Saskatchewan to western Ontario to the
    north of a flattened mid-level ridge over the MS Valley. Farther
    west, a potent mid-level trough will move southeast from the Pacific
    Northwest to the eastern Great Basin/central Rockies. In the low
    levels, a broad area of low pressure centered over SD with a southward-extending lee trough will consolidate to a developing
    surface cyclone along the KS/CO border by Monday night as a cold
    front pushes southward over the Upper Midwest and northern Great
    Plains.

    ...Upper MS Valley...
    Model guidance is beginning to converge on a scenario of
    thunderstorm development initially beginning during the afternoon
    (perhaps over northeast SD or west-central MN) as a cold front
    pushes southeast. Relatively cool mid-level temperatures coupled
    with low to mid 50s F dewpoints are yielding around 2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. A cluster of thunderstorms will probably evolve near the
    front during the late afternoon/early evening and move
    east-southeast during the overnight hours. Isolated large
    hail/damaging gusts are the primary hazards before this activity
    weakens as it moves beyond the instability axis.

    ...TX Panhandle/South Plains...
    Strong heating is forecast on Monday as the western edge of low 50s
    deg F dewpoints contributing to 1000-2000 J/kg SBCAPE by peak
    heating. Models are indicating appreciable CINH remaining,
    especially in areas slightly east and removed from the dryline.
    However, a more deeply mixed boundary layer is expected to develop
    farther west on the Caprock escarpment with localized erosion of the
    remaining cap and convective initiation a possibility. Although
    coarser deterministic models are void of a precip signal thus far,
    recent convection allowing models are showing a couple of storms
    (potentially a supercell or two) developing within a zone of 700 mb
    moistening by the EC model with good run-to-run consistency. The
    localized severe risk will likely diminish by 02 UTC as CINH
    increases.

    ...Southeast ID into northern UT...
    Increasing large-scale forcing for ascent during the afternoon will
    likely lead to convective showers and isolated thunderstorms
    developing near the southeastward-moving cold front. Despite
    relatively low moisture content, very steep low to mid-level lapse
    rates coupled with strong frontal forcing will probably result in
    localized strong gusts near convection. If instability appears
    marginally higher, a 5-percent wind risk may be introduced in later
    outlook cycles.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI AND MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEYS AS WELL AS
    NORTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the upper Mississippi Valley into Nebraska, and parts of northwest
    Texas on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...

    A compact upper shortwave trough over the Canadian Prairie provinces
    and international border vicinity will develop eastward to western
    Ontario and the upper Great Lakes by Tuesday morning. A second upper
    shortwave trough will dig south/southeast from the Pacific Northwest
    into the Great Basin/northern Rockies. At the surface, a broad area
    of low pressure/surface troughing will develop from MN southwestward
    through eastern SD/NE and western KS, while a dryline extends
    southwestward across the OK/TX Panhandle and eastern NM vicinity.
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected along the surface
    trough/cold front by late afternoon across parts of MN/SD/NE, some
    of which could be strong to severe. A more conditional severe threat
    is possible near the dryline across parts of northwest TX.

    ...Upper Midwest/Central Plains vicinity...

    Southerly low level flow will transport 50s F surface dewpoints
    northward across the mid/upper MS and MO Valley vicinity ahead of
    the southeastward advancing cold front. Strong CINH will preclude
    thunderstorm development for much of the day. However, strong
    heating will result in a well-mixed boundary layer and eroding cap
    by peak heating. 50s F dewpoints beneath steep midlevel lapse rates
    will contribute to 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE amid 30-40 kt effective
    shear. As upper forcing increases with the approach of the shortwave
    trough in tandem with low level frontal forcing, thunderstorms are
    expected to develop by late afternoon from north-central MN into
    eastern SD. Low level flow below 700 mb will remain rather weak, and
    while an isolated supercell is possible, convection will likely
    develop into clusters or line segments along the cold front. Locally
    strong gusts and hail will be the main concern with this activity as
    it shifts east/southeast into western WI/northern IA during the
    evening.

    A more conditional severe threat will develop southwestward along
    the surface trough/cold front into parts of central/eastern NE.
    Forcing will be much weaker here, and a stronger cap will be in
    place. Nevertheless, a couple of high-based and/or elevated
    supercells could develop during peak heating as inhibition becomes
    weaker. Very steep lapse rates will contribute to 2000-2500 MLCAPE
    amid supercell wind profiles. A storm or two could produce isolated
    large hail and perhaps locally strong downburst winds for a short
    time during the late afternoon/early evening.

    ...Northwest TX...

    A conditional threat for a severe storm or two will exist near the
    dryline during the late afternoon/early evening. Low level moisture
    will remain unimpressive, with dewpoints generally from the upper
    40s to low 50s. However, steep midlevel lapse rates will promote
    MLCAPE values as high as 1500 J/kg amid supercell wind profiles.
    Considerable CINH will prevent convective development across much of
    the region, but strong heating resulting in a well-mixed boundary
    layer could result in a narrow corridor along the dryline where a
    storm or two could develop. Isolated large hail and strong wind
    gusts could accompany any organized storm that develops in this
    corridor.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible portions of the central and
    eastern Kansas Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Hail and strong
    gusts will be the main hazards associated with this activity.

    ...Synopsis...

    A compact upper low and its attendant trough will shift east from
    the Great Basin to the central/southern Plains on Tuesday. A surface
    low will deepen over western KS and the OK/TX Panhandle vicinity
    through the first half of the forecast period. This area of low
    pressure will become more elongated overnight from mid-MO Valley
    into the southern Plains as a cold front shifts east/southeast
    across the central/southern Plains.

    ...Central/Southern Plains vicinity...

    Strong CINH will preclude thunderstorm initiation through late
    afternoon. As the surface low deepens and the upper low begins to
    eject eastward, moderate southerly low level flow will transport
    mid-50s to low 60s dewpoints northward across the southern/central
    Plains and mid-MO/mid-upper MS Valleys. A dryline will extend
    southward from the surface low to the OK/TX border and then
    southwestward into southwest TX. While strong heating is forecast
    near the dryline across TX, a stout cap is expected to remain in
    place and little development along the dryline is expected. More
    likely, convective initiation will occur during the late
    afternoon/early evening closer to the surface low as a cold front
    drops southeastward and overtakes the dryline across west-central
    KS. Continued low level moistening beneath steep 700-500 mb lapse
    rates will result in 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE amid effective shear
    greater than 30 kt. Organized clusters and line segments along the east/southeastward advancing cold front will mainly pose a threat
    for large hail and perhaps locally damaging gusts. Convection may
    remain somewhat elevated, and forecast soundings are persistent in
    maintaining at least weak near-surface CINH. This should temper the
    tornado threat, despite favorable low level shear/enlarged 0-3km
    hodographs.

    Further north across the mid-MO Valley vicinity, instability will be
    weaker. However, clusters of thunderstorms could produce near-severe
    hail and gusty winds.

    ...Delmarva/Chesapeake Vicinity...

    Moderate northwesterly deep layer flow is forecast across the region
    as a strong upper low moves offshore the Northeast coast and an
    upper ridge slides slowly eastward across the Midwest. Surface
    dewpoints are forecast to increase into the upper 40s and low 50s
    beneath modest midlevel lapse rates, resulting in weak instability
    during the afternoon and evening. Furthermore, forecast soundings
    show a well-mixed boundary layer developing as temperatures warm
    into the 70s. While severe storms are not expected given weak
    instability, a couple of convective showers and/or storms could
    produce locally strong gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A PORTION
    OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across the lower
    Mississippi Valley with other isolated severe storms possible
    farther north over the middle Mississippi Valley.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley region...

    Shortwave trough now moving through the central Rockies will
    continue east southeast through the southern Plains and lower to mid
    MS Valley Wednesday. Partially modified Gulf Air with low to mid 60s
    F dewpoints will advect northward along a strengthening southerly
    low-level jet, contributing to a corridor of 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE.
    Widespread low clouds are expected in the warm sector which will
    limit boundary layer destabilization to some degree. Thunderstorms
    are expected to develop by mid day along and just ahead of a Pacific
    cold front accompanying the shortwave trough from central MO
    southward through AR and northeast TX. Mixed storm modes are
    expected, and vertical wind profiles with 50+ kt effective bulk
    shear will support the potential for organized storms with both line
    segments and some supercell structures. Hodograph size will increase
    as the low-level jet strengthens with up to 300 m2/s2 storm relative
    helicity supportive of low-level mesocyclones and potential for a
    few tornadoes, especially across the lower MS Valley during the
    afternoon and early evening. However, the degree and extent of the
    tornado threat will depend on whether or not sufficient boundary
    layer destabilization can occur given likelihood of widespread low
    clouds in warms sector where forecast soundings exhibit poor
    low-level lapse rates. Some severe threat, mainly in the form of
    damaging wind will continue into the overnight across a portion of
    the lower MS Valley. An enhanced risk for severe storms might be
    introduced for a portion of this region in day 1 updates.

    ...Middle MS Valley...

    Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely continue through the
    morning across parts of MO/IA and thereby limit greater instability
    from developing over the area. However, a rejuvenation to storms is
    expected during the afternoon near the surface low and possibly
    farther east ahead of residual decaying convection near the MS
    River. Uncertainty largely related to instability will seemingly
    limit the overall severe threat. Nonetheless, weak instability
    coupled with deep-layer shear sufficient for organized thunderstorms
    will conditionally support a marginal severe risk for storms during
    the day. Activity will likely weaken by the early evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY THROUGH
    FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...NORTHEASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...NORTHERN LOUISIANA...CENTRAL AND
    SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF WESTERN ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the southeastern
    Great Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf
    Coast States Friday through Friday night. This may include the
    development of one or two organized thunderstorm clusters, with the
    potential to produce swaths of damaging wind gusts. Large, damaging
    hail and a couple of tornadoes are also possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep mid-level low over the middle Missouri Valley is already in
    the process of migrating northeast of the lower Missouri Valley.
    This should continue through Friday and Friday night, as blocking
    remains prominent downstream within the downstream flow, and another
    vigorous upstream short wave (emerging from the northern
    mid-latitude Pacific), continues inland, across the Rockies into the
    Plains.

    The lead impulse and associated surface cyclone are forecast to
    continue to weaken, while migrating across and northeast of the
    Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region by late Friday night. The cold
    front trailing the cyclone currently curves from the Upper Midwest
    through the lower Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, and is already
    becoming increasingly diffuse. As this continues, models suggest
    considerable boundary-layer moistening will occur into and through
    this period across a broad area of the southeastern Great Plains and
    lower Mississippi Valley. It appears that this will coincide with
    the northeastward advection of elevated mixed-layer air, on the
    southwestern periphery of the departing mid-level troughing, and
    ahead of a perturbation emerging from the southern mid-latitude or
    subtropical eastern Pacific.

    Models indicate that this southern perturbation will accelerate
    across Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley by late Friday night,
    within west-northwesterly to westerly flow in advance of the digging
    short wave of northern mid-latitude Pacific origin. It appears that
    associated forcing for ascent will contribute to new surface
    cyclogenesis across the southern Great Plains into the lower
    Mississippi Valley/Mid South vicinity by 12Z Saturday.

    ...Southeastern Great Plains into central Gulf States...
    While there appears reasonable model consensus on the general
    large-scale pattern evolution, considerable spread does exist
    concerning the synoptic and, particularly, the sub-synoptic
    developments for this period. Given moistening low-levels in the
    presence of steepening mid-level lapse rates, it does appear that
    substantial mixed-layer CAPE could develop Friday, in the presence
    of strong vertical shear. This provides support for the risk of
    severe storm development, though the extent, focus/details remain
    unclear at the present time. Based on the latest guidance, there
    does appear potential for the evolution of multiple clusters of
    severe storms Friday and Friday night, with isolated to widely
    scattered discrete supercell development also possible.

    There does appear a consistent signal in the model output that
    large-scale ascent along a strengthening mid-level baroclinic zone
    may provide support for increasing thunderstorm development across
    the Ark-La-Tex vicinity through southern Arkansas by mid day Friday.
    As the boundary-layer destabilizes, there appears potential for
    this activity to evolve into an intensifying and organizing
    mesoscale convection system which will tend to advect/propagate
    eastward across the north central Mississippi/Alabama vicinity
    before weakening Friday evening.

    The approach of the southern mid-latitude/subtropical Pacific
    impulse may contribute to renewed thunderstorm development upstream,
    along the trailing convective outflow, by Friday evening. This may
    evolve into another organizing cluster of severe storms, which will
    probably tend to develop east-southeastward across the lower
    Mississippi Valley through early Saturday.

    Given the steep mid-level lapse rates, sizable CAPE and strong
    shear, stronger initial storm development may be accompanied by the
    risk for large, damaging hail, before activity grows upscale with
    damaging wind gusts becoming the more prominent hazard, along with
    the possibility of a few tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
    FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday
    across parts of the eastern Florida Panhandle and the Florida
    Peninsula.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper low over the Midwest and its attendant trough extending
    southeastward through the southeast U.S. will pivot northeast on
    Sunday. The upper low will become oriented over the lower Great
    Lakes by Monday morning, while the associated trough extends along
    the Mid-Atlantic coast and offshore the southeastern U.S. coast.
    This should maintain moderate west/southwesterly flow from the Mid-Atlantic/central Appalachians southward through Florida for much
    of the period. A surface low stacked beneath the upper low over the
    Great Lakes will not move much, but instead weaken through the
    period. A cold front will extend from western PA along the
    Appalachians and into southeast AL and then just offshore from
    south-central LA. While the southern most segment of the front will
    stall along the central Gulf coast, much of the front should shift
    eastward, moving offshore the Mid-Atlantic cost and into northern
    Florida by Monday morning.

    A mature MCS/QLCS is forecast to be ongoing across parts of northern
    Florida Sunday morning. Some severe threat could persist with this
    system as it tracks southeastward across the Florida Peninsula
    through the day.

    ...Florida...

    Most guidance has a mature MCS/QLCS over northern FL at the
    beginning of the period, and the evolution of the severe threat on
    Sunday will depend on where exactly this activity is located during
    the morning, and specifically how far south any outflow may develop
    early in the period. This could impact how much CINH exists and how
    much recovery can occur through peak heating. Nevertheless, mid to
    upper 60s dewpoints will be in place, and at least weak
    destabilization should occur amid 35-45 kt effective shear. This
    should be sufficient to support at least a low-end threat for
    locally damaging gusts and hail.

    ...Delmarva into parts of eastern PA...

    Modest low level moisture is expected to extend northward into the
    Chesapeake vicinity, with mid 50s to near 60 F surface dewpoints
    forecast. Stronger forcing closer to the surface and upper lows,
    along with a better-defined cold front surging eastward should
    provide focus of isolated thunderstorm development during the
    afternoon. Instability is currently forecast to remain weak,
    generally less than 1000 J/kg, along with modest vertical shear.
    Midlevel lapse rates near 7 C/km and a deeply mixed boundary layer
    resulting in steep low level lapse rates also will overspread the
    region. Some locally gusty winds or small hail could accompany any
    stronger cells. However, weak low level winds and overall modest thermodynamic/kinematic environment will preclude severe
    probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE CENTRAL
    FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday across the
    central Florida Peninsula and isolated strong to severe storms are
    possible in portions of the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low will move from the Ohio Valley to the Great Lakes on
    Sunday. At the surface, a cyclone will occlude through the day as it
    moves from northern Illinois to southern Ontario through the period.
    At the beginning of the period, an occluded front will extend from
    the surface low in northern Illinois to western Pennsylvania. A cold
    front will extend from this occluded front southward to the Gulf
    Coast States.

    ...Florida...
    An MCS should be ongoing at the beginning of the period from the
    Florida Panhandle into the northeastern Gulf as a result of
    increasing isentropic ascent from a strengthening low-level jet.
    This activity is expected to mature during the morning hours as it
    moves into the central Florida peninsula. Extensive cloud cover will
    likely limit surface heating, but temperatures in the low 70s and
    dewpoints in the upper 60s should be adequate for moderate
    instability, especially given the moderate mid-level lapse rates.
    The greatest severe threat will likely be during the morning hours
    when the most intense convection is expected to be oriented
    north/south as it crosses central Florida. Through time, the
    convection is expected to become parallel to the deep-layer flow and
    thus the outflow is likely to outrun the convection to the south.
    This may limit the overall severe threat by mid to late afternoon as
    the MCS sags south across the Peninsula. Damaging wind gusts will be
    the primary hazard with this activity.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...
    Modest low-level moisture is expected to surge northward ahead of a
    cold front which will move through the Mid-Atlantic through the day.
    This cold front will serve as the primary focus for isolated to
    scattered strong to severe storm development during the afternoon
    and evening hours on Sunday. Moderate MLCAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg
    is expected across the Carolinas into Virginia ahead of this storm
    activity Sunday afternoon. Farther north, instability is expected to
    be weaker but sufficient for a marginal damaging wind threat.
    Effective shear of 35 to 45 knots across the warm sector will aid in
    storm organization as it moves east-northeastward with damaging
    winds as the primary threat. Large hail will be a greater threat
    from Maryland southward where greater instability is forecast.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...

    A pair of upper level lows will migrate eastward across the Upper
    Midwest/Great Lakes and Northeast/Mid-Atlantic vicinity on Monday. Low-amplitude westerly flow will otherwise spread across the
    south-central and southeastern states while a shortwave trough
    develops southward across the Pacific Northwest. At the surface,
    high pressure will develop southward across the Plains, with a cold
    front dropping south/southeast across TX and the Lower MS Valley.
    Isolated showers and elevated thunderstorms could accompany the cold
    front, but overall severe potential appears low.

    ...Western TX/Middle Rio Grande vicinity...

    While mid to upper 60s F surface dewpoints will be in place ahead of
    the aforementioned cold front across TX and the Sabine Valley,
    considerable inhibition will limit severe potential. Some guidance
    suggests a conditional threat for an isolated strong to severe storm
    could develop near the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Del Rio, during
    the late afternoon/evening in moist upslope flow. However,
    confidence in this scenario is low with quite a bit of variability
    among forecast guidance. The overall limited nature of the threat in
    both space and time precludes Marginal risk probabilities at this
    time.

    THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in the Texas Hill Country
    on Monday with a threat for large hail and severe wind gusts.

    ...Synopsis...
    A few areas of mid-level low pressure will be present across the
    northern Plains and Great Lakes Monday morning. These low pressure
    areas will shift eastward/southeastward through the day. A strong
    mid-level jet will dive southward along the West Coast through the
    day Monday and act to amplify the western CONUS trough. In addition,
    a weak shortwave is expected to eject from this broader trough
    Monday afternoon across portions of Texas. At the surface, a cold
    front will sink southward across Texas through the day. Some severe
    storms may form on this cold front Monday afternoon/evening with a
    threat for large hail and severe wind.

    ...Texas Hill Country...
    Low-level flow off the Gulf of Mexico will transport moisture
    northwestward Monday morning and afternoon. Surface dewpoints are
    expected to increase to the low to mid 60s by mid to late afternoon
    with temperatures in the low to mid 80s. This will likely result in
    2000+ MLCAPE ahead of a southward moving cold front. A weak
    shortwave/height falls aloft combined with convergence along this
    front may provide enough forcing for a few strong to severe storms
    Monday afternoon/evening. Moderate to strong instability combined
    with around 50 knots of effective shear will provide an environment
    favorable for supercells with the potential for large hail and
    damaging winds. The southward sagging nature of the cold front could
    undercut the storms and limit storm longevity, especially on the
    northern portions of the marginal risk, but steep mid-level lapse
    rates would still support elevated convection and a hail threat.
    Additional storms may form in an upslope regime near Del Rio and
    move off the terrain for a few hours in the evening before
    encountering a capped airmass with eastern extent. Questionable
    storm coverage is the primary mitigating factor to a higher risk
    category at this time, but if more storms appear likely (such as
    suggested by the 12Z HRRR and NSSL WRF), a slight risk may be
    warranted in later outlooks.

    PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE....SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN
    NORTH CAROLINA...

    CORRECTED GRAPHIC DISCREPANCY IN GULF COASTAL VICINITY

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact western and central portions of the
    Gulf coastal plain, as well as southern portions of the Mid Atlantic
    Coast states, accompanied by at least some risk for severe weather
    Wednesday into Wednesday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models suggest that a blocking mid-level high will continue to
    develop and become more prominent during this period, centered
    across British Columbia. This will contribute to the maintenance of
    a split flow across much of North America into the western Atlantic,
    with several broad, embedded cyclonic circulations likely to
    persist.

    At mid-levels, there may be little movement to one of these lows
    centered across the Great Basin, to the southeast of the building
    high. In response to a short wave trough digging across the
    Canadian Prairies, to the east of the high, a downstream low may
    slowly shift southeast of the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes
    region, with some southeastward development of another low also
    possible across the western Atlantic. To the south and southwest of
    the eastern perturbations, models indicate that there may be some
    suppression of mid-level subtropical ridging, with flow tending to
    veer from westerly to west-northwesterly across the north central
    through eastern Gulf coast vicinity.

    Initially progressing into or approaching the Appalachians and Mid
    South/Ozark Plateau vicinity by 12Z Wednesday, a cold front is
    forecast to advance into the Southeast and through the lower
    Mississippi Valley/northwestern Gulf coast region by the end of the
    period. There has already been a preceding southward surge of
    colder air through much of central and southwest Texas, which likely
    will be reinforced. A preceding convectively generated or enhanced
    surface boundary appears likely to persist across parts of the upper
    Texas coastal plain and southern Louisiana into the north central
    Gulf of Mexico.

    ...Gulf coastal plain...
    The most substantive boundary-layer destabilization Wednesday is
    expected to be confined to pre-cold frontal areas along and to the
    southwest of the convective boundary. Although smaller scale
    developments remain unclear due to model spread, which could impact
    the magnitude of this destabilization, it appears that low/mid-level
    warm advection along and north of the convective boundary could
    contribute to thunderstorm development across the upper Texas
    coastal plain into southern Louisiana by early Wednesday. It
    appears that this will occur ahead of a weak perturbation migrating
    around the periphery of the subtropical ridging, and could coincide
    with increasing boundary-layer destabilization.

    Depending upon the timing, it is possible that increasing inflow of
    moderately large CAPE (in excess of 1000 J/kg), in the presence of
    modestly sheared 30-40 kt westerly to northwesterly mean flow, could
    become conducive to the evolution of an organized cluster of storms
    which could pose a risk for severe hail and wind. As this activity
    tends to propagate offshore, an upstream perturbation may contribute
    similar storm development near the trailing outflow and cold front intersection, near upper Texas coastal areas later Wednesday
    afternoon or evening.

    ...Southern Mid Atlantic Coast region...
    Models suggest that the warm sector of a weak developing surface
    low, along the front to the east of the southern Appalachians, could
    become conducive to vigorous thunderstorm development late Wednesday
    afternoon and evening. Although boundary-layer moisture might be
    fairly modest, deep boundary-layer mixing, in the presence of
    strengthening vertical shear, might contribute an environment
    supportive of thunderstorms capable of producing small hail and
    potentially damaging surface gusts.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
    WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible from west-central
    Texas eastward along the central Gulf Coast. Locally strong gusts
    and hail will be the main hazards with this activity.

    ...Synopsis...
    Satellite imagery currently shows two well-defined upper lows, one
    over the western Great Basin and the other over the Upper Great
    Lakes. Expectation is for these lows to gradually move eastward
    today, beginning the Day 2 Period (i.e. 12Z Thursday) centered over
    the central Great Basin and southwestern Quebec. Surface low
    associated with the eastern upper low will likely be centered just
    off the Mid-Atlantic coast early Thursday, with an associated cold
    front extending southwestward from this low through another low off
    the MS/AL coast and into South Texas. Central and eastern portions
    of this front will likely remain progressive throughout the day
    before stalling Thursday evening. In contrast, the western portion
    of the front over the western Gulf and south TX will likely remain
    stationary throughout the day before returning northward as a warm
    front Thursday evening through Friday morning.

    ...Central Gulf Coast through FL Panhandle/Northern FL...
    This is some uncertainty regarding the position of the cold front
    early Thursday morning, particularly given the expectation for
    augmentation of this boundary by storm outflow. Even so, modest
    warm-air advection is anticipated across this boundary, contributing
    to scattered thunderstorms from southern LA into the western FL
    Panhandle early Thursday morning. Steep mid-level lapse rates will
    exist over the region, as will moderate westerly flow aloft.
    Resulting combination of vertical shear and buoyancy could result in
    a few stronger storms capable of hail and/or damaging downburst
    winds. Elevated storm character should preclude any tornado threat.

    Surface-based storms are possible along the front Thursday afternoon
    as it traverses the northern FL Peninsula. Warm temperatures aloft
    and resulting convective inhibition will likely temper updraft
    strength within most storms. However, vertical shear will remain
    strong enough to support rotation/organization of a few updrafts,
    with large hail and/or damaging gusts possible with these more
    robust embedded storms.

    ...West-Central TX to the Middle/Upper TX Coast...
    A stalled frontal boundary will likely be in place from just off the
    southeast TX coast back westward through South TX, eventually
    intersecting lee troughing off the higher terrain of the southern
    High Plains and northeast Mexico. Deepening of this lee troughing is anticipated throughout the day, with surface southeasterly winds
    strengthening in tandem. More southerly low-level flow will also
    increase at the same time. Resulting increase in isentropic ascent
    will augment the ascent attendant to a subtle shortwave through
    expected to move across TX. All of these factors will contribute to
    showers and thunderstorms across much of the southern Plains. Given
    the steep lapse rates and strong deep-layer vertical shear, a few
    stronger storms are possible, with large hail as the primary severe
    risk.

    Guidance is beginning to hint at a corridor of modestly higher
    severe potential, from central TX into southeast TX, where storms
    may begin to encounter slightly higher dewpoints and the northward
    moving warm front. However, uncertainty regarding frontal position
    and storm timing remains too high to delineate higher probabilities
    within this corridor with this forecast.

    Lastly, conditional risk of supercells capable of large hail exists
    near the Del Rio vicinity with any storms that can develop over the
    higher terrain of northeast Mexico and then move eastward.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST THROUGH SOUTHERN GEORGIA/NORTHERN FL..AND
    DEEP SOUTH TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms appear possible Saturday across
    parts of the central Gulf Coast into southern Georgia. A few
    instances of large hail may also occur Saturday morning across deep
    south Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper trough with a strong positive tilt is forecast to stretch from
    the Upper Midwest through central CA early Saturday morning.
    Moderate mid-level flow will stretch from the southern Plains
    through the Southeast and into the Mid-Atlantic throughout period,
    reinforced by several shortwave trough embedded within the larger
    parent upper trough. All of these shortwaves will be displaced north
    or west of the better low-level moisture, with the exception of a
    progressive, low-amplitude shortwave which may move through the
    southern Plains and Lower MS Valley Saturday afternoon through early
    Sunday morning.

    At the surface, a low will likely be centered off the southeast
    TX/southwest LA coast with a cold front extending from it back
    southwestward over the far northwest Gulf. A stationary front is
    also expected to extend eastward from the low through the northern
    FL Peninsula. The surface low is forecast to progress eastward along
    this stationary boundary throughout the day, ending the period
    centered just off the SC Coast.

    ...Central Gulf Coast to the FL Panhandle/northern FL Peninsula...
    Showers and thunderstorms are anticipated throughout the day over
    the central Gulf Coast as isentropic ascent persists across the
    stationary front. This isentropic ascent will be augmented in the
    late afternoon and evening by lift attendant to the progressive,
    low-amplitude shortwave trough mentioned in the synopsis. Mid-level
    lapse rates will be relatively weak, limiting overall buoyancy, but
    mid-level flow will remain strong, contributing to enough vertical
    shear for isolated strong to severe storms. Primary threat will be
    hail, although a damaging wind gust or two may be able to penetrate
    the relatively shallow low-level stability. The eastward moving
    surface low could also provide an area of localized mesoscale ascent
    and the potential for a few stronger updrafts.

    Farther east across central/eastern FL Panhandle and the northern FL
    Peninsula, storms may form closer to the stationary front during the
    afternoon and evening. Instability will also be slightly higher in
    this area due to the likelihood of a bit more heating. Consequently,
    the increased potential for surface-based (or near-surface-based)
    storms suggests damaging wind gusts will be in the primary threat.
    Isolated hail and perhaps even a brief tornado are also possible.

    ...Deep South Texas...
    A cold front will be progressing quickly southward across deep south
    TX Saturday morning. Low-level upslope flow over the mountains of
    adjacent northern Mexico may encourage a couple of elevated
    supercells to form and cross into this region early Saturday
    morning. Even though boundary-layer instability will
    quickly decrease behind the front, enough low-level moisture and
    modestly steepened mid-level lapse rates should still support around
    1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE. This instability coupled with strong shear
    aloft may foster isolated large hail with any supercell that can
    persist for a few hours. Storms should weaken by mid morning as the
    elevated instability diminishes.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms may occur Sunday across parts of
    the northern/central Florida Peninsula, with gusty winds and hail
    the main threats.

    ...Northern/Central Florida Peninsula...
    A front is forecast to move very slowly southward across the
    northern/central FL Peninsula on Sunday, as low/mid-level flow
    should remain generally parallel to this surface boundary. Even so,
    it appears that there may be enough weak low-level convergence along
    the front to support some surface-based storms across parts of the northern/central FL Peninsula, mainly Sunday afternoon. Surface
    dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s south of the front, combined with
    modest diurnal heating and cool temperatures aloft, should foster
    around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE by the afternoon. Although low-level
    winds are expected to remain modest, west-southwesterly flow will
    likely strengthen to around 40-50 kt at mid levels. Similar values
    of effective bulk shear should support organization with any
    convection that can develop along/south of the front. With cool
    mid-level temperatures supporting modestly steepened lapse rates
    aloft, isolated instances of large hail may occur. Strong/gusty
    downdraft winds also appear possible if storms can congeal into a
    small cluster. The primary limiting factors that should keep the
    overall severe threat isolated/marginal are the lack of obvious
    large-scale ascent aloft and weak low-level convergence along the
    front.

    ...Northern/central Florida Peninsula...
    A frontal boundary is expected to persist across some portion of the central/northern FL Peninsula on Sunday. Periodic convection and
    attendant outflow near/north of the front may tend to move the
    boundary gradually southward during the day. Along and south of the
    front, moisture and heating will be sufficient for the development
    of moderate MLCAPE (1000-1500 J/kg) by early afternoon. A capping
    inversion and generally weak large-scale ascent will tend to limit surface-based convection south of the boundary, but a few stronger
    storms will be possible along and just north of the boundary,
    especially during the afternoon and evening. Effective shear of
    35-50 kt will favor some potential for hail with the strongest
    storms, while locally damaging wind gusts cannot be ruled out,
    especially with any upscale-growing clusters that can develop.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday
    across parts of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. Hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats.

    ...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
    A surface front is forecast to overlie the central FL Peninsula on
    Monday. This boundary should advance slowly southward through the
    day. Convection will probably be ongoing Monday morning along and
    north of the front. Even though large-scale forcing is expected to
    remain nebulous, sufficient low-level convergence along the front
    should provide a focus for additional surface-based storm
    development by Monday afternoon. This appears most probable across
    parts of the central/southern FL Peninsula, where upper 60s to low
    70s surface dewpoints should be in place. The rich low-level
    moisture coupled with diurnal heating and cool mid-level
    temperatures (around -10C at 500 mb) should support MLCAPE reaching
    about 1500-2000 J/kg Monday afternoon.

    The stronger flow associated with a belt of enhanced mid-level west-southwesterly winds should remain mostly to the north of the
    surface front. Still, about 30-40 kt of mid-level winds should
    overlap the front and warm sector, which will provide enough
    deep-layer shear to support some updraft organization. Isolated
    large hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats with
    any storms that can form along/south of the boundary across the central/southern FL Peninsula through the day. Weak convergence
    along the front with generally parallel flow aloft will probably
    limit overall storm coverage, and the severe threat should remain
    fairly isolated.

    ...Eastern North Carolina and Far Southeastern Virginia...
    Isolated to scattered storms may form by late Monday morning across
    this region as a shortwave trough moves eastward across the
    Mid-Atlantic. Low-level moisture ahead of this feature will likely
    remain fairly limited, with surface dewpoints generally in the 50s.
    If enough boundary-layer instability can develop ahead of the
    storms, then strong/gusty downdraft winds might occur. However,
    there is currently too much uncertainty regarding the degree of
    low-level moisture and sufficient destabilization to include low
    severe probabilities.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday
    across parts of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. Hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats.

    ...Synopsis...
    A pair of mid-level vorticity maxima, located over the Ozarks and
    lower MO Valley midday Sunday, will transition to a single mid-level
    trough and move from the southern Appalachians to the western
    Atlantic during the day-2 period. A weak surface low in response to
    the mid-level disturbance, will move from eastern NC east into the
    western Atlantic. An attendant cold front will push southward
    across the northern part of the FL Peninsula before stalling
    overnight near the I-4 corridor.

    Strong to severe thunderstorm potential will be relegated to parts
    of the FL Peninsula during the day. Early day widely scattered showers/thunderstorms are possible, especially near the Tampa Bay
    vicinity and eventually spreading east across the Peninsula.
    Gradual destabilization will occur across the central part of the
    Peninsula with heating/near 70 deg surface dewpoints contributing to
    moderate instability. Seasonably strong 850-700 mb flow (35-40 kt)
    may aid in a few multicells and/or clusters being capable of a
    localized threat for wind damage. The strongest cores could yield a
    hail risk as well. This activity will weaken by early evening as
    instability diminishes.

    OF THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms appear possible tomorrow/Tuesday
    across portions of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. A
    couple of damaging gusts and perhaps some hail are the main threats,
    though a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad mid-level cyclonic flow will prevail across much of the
    central and eastern U.S. tomorrow, as a surface cold front sags
    southeastward across the central Florida Peninsula. Thunderstorms
    are expected to be ongoing at the start of the period (12Z Tuesday)
    ahead of the front, with storms becoming more widespread with
    diurnal heating. A few of the storms may be strong to potentially
    severe.

    Elsewhere across the CONUS, a well-defined upper trough will
    progress across the Midwest. A lightning flash or two may also
    accompany relatively shallower convection in this region, supported
    by sfc-600 mb boundary-layer mixing across the central/northern
    Plains during the day. However, coverage appears too limited to
    warrant thunder probabilities. Farther west, a mid-level disturbance
    propagates southeast along the West Coast. A couple thunderstorms
    may occur during the day across northern California in tandem with
    the intensification of a surface low.

    ...Central Florida Peninsula...
    A weak, embedded mid-level impulse will overspread the pre-frontal
    airmass across the central FL peninsula, encouraging the development
    of modest 850 mb flow during the mid to late morning hours.
    Increased thunderstorm development is expected during the day in an
    environment characterized by up to 1500 J/kg MLCAPE, driven
    primarily by upper 60s F dewpoints and 6.5 C/km mid-level lapse
    rates. Modest low-level hodograph curvature, and associated 150
    m2/s2 effective SRH, may contribute to multicellular or transient
    supercellular development. Damaging gusts and perhaps a couple of
    marginally severe hailstones may accompany the stronger storms.
    Given the modest low-level shear, a tornado cannot be ruled out with
    a longer-lived transient supercell structure.

    ATLANTIC REGION AND SURROUNDING AREAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong storms capable of producing gusty/damaging winds
    will be possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New
    York on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    As one area of upper troughing evolves across the western U.S. from
    the Intermountain region to California, a second trough will
    progress eastward across the eastern U.S. through the period.

    At the surface, a weak system associated with the western upper
    troughing will move across southern Nevada/southern California into
    the Four Corners states. In the East, a cold front progged to lie
    roughly along the Appalachian crest at the start of the period will
    move quickly eastward, clearing most of the East Coast by evening
    with the exception of eastern Maine, and Florida. In the wake of
    the front, cold high pressure will expand across the central and
    eastern U.S. through the period.

    ...The Mid Atlantic region and vicinity...
    Convective development is forecast to occur in lee of the
    Appalachian crest relatively early in the period, from eastern PA
    southward across central VA. Only modest instability (at or below
    500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE) is expected ahead of the advancing front,
    with storms to remain relatively low-topped across the region.
    Still, with linear forcing along the front, and fairly strong west-southwesterly flow through the cloud-bearing layer, a few
    stronger -- possibly damaging -- wind gusts may occur within what
    should evolve into a semi-continuous band/line of convection. This
    convection should move off the Mid Atlantic Coast and into southern
    New England by late afternoon, weakening as it crosses MA/CT/RI and
    vicinity through the evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the United States on
    Thursday.

    ...Discussion...
    As an upper low over the eastern U.S. shifts eastward/northeastward
    into the western Atlantic/Canadian Maritime provinces, a trough
    consisting of phased northern- and southern-stream components is
    progged to advance across the West/Intermountain Region.

    As the upper system advances, cool air aloft/steepening lapse rates
    will support scattered showers, as well as some embedded lightning
    -- particularly during the diurnal peak heating period. Lightning
    may occur over portions of the Northwest/Continental Divide area,
    and also across portions of the Four Corners states.

    Overnight, warm advection is expected to increase across the central/south-central states, as a low-level jet strengthens ahead
    of the advancing upper trough. However, dry mid-level air atop
    moistening low levels would generally imply that convective
    development will remain unlikely through the end of the period
    across the area. Near the very end of the period, convective
    potential may increase in the vicinity of the Arklatex, and so a
    conditional thunder area is being maintained there. Otherwise,
    storm development is not expected through the end of the period.

    Elsewhere, showers and a thunderstorm or two may occur over south
    Florida and the Keys, mainly from afternoon onward.

    interest will be a short-wave trough moving out of the Intermountain
    West into/across the Plains states. With time, the southern portion
    of this trough -- advancing more quickly than farther north -- will
    cross the Ozarks/Arklatex and then the lower Mississippi Valley
    overnight, resulting in a gradually more negative tilt to the
    larger-scale trough.

    At the surface, a low is progged to reside over the southern High
    Plains/in lee of the southern Rockies. As the upper trough
    advances, surface low pressure will shift eastward in a loosely
    defined manner, while a dryline mixes eastward into central Texas
    during the day and a warm frontal zone extends eastward into the
    central Gulf Coast states. By the end of the period, a cool front
    will be sweeping across Texas in the wake of the primary surface low
    expected to reside in the vicinity of the Arklatex by 24/12z.

    ...Southern Plains to the central Gulf Coast states...
    A somewhat complex convective scenario is apparent Friday, as upper
    troughing moves into/across the south-central U.S., along with an
    associated weak/rather ill-defined surface pattern.

    As the upper trough advances, and a surface high shifts eastward
    into the western Atlantic, increasing southerly low-level flow into
    the south-central states will advect Gulf moisture northward beneath
    steep lapse rates aloft overspreading the southern Plains through
    the day. As a dryline mixes quickly eastward into central Texas
    during the first half of the period, large-scale ascent and an
    increasingly favorable thermodynamic environment should support
    central Texas storm development. Strong/veering winds with height
    across the area suggests that storms will quickly acquire rotation.
    While CAMs may be a bit early and aggressive initially, with respect
    to storm coverage, isolated supercells -- accompanied by a risk for
    very large hail during the afternoon -- will likely congeal into a
    cluster of more numerous storms, moving eastward across northeastern
    Texas/the Arklatex region by late afternoon/early evening.

    Meanwhile, a second area of convective development is expected
    farther north, from northwest Texas and eastern portions of the
    Texas Panhandle area east-northeastward across northern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas into Missouri, near a secondary low and its
    associated/weak warm front. A drier boundary layer across this area
    -- and thus correspondingly lesser CAPE -- should limit severe risk
    a bit. However, large hail -- particularly over the northwestern
    Texas and Oklahoma portions of the area -- remains apparent.

    By evening, as convection congeals across the Arklatex area, risk
    for damaging winds will likely become a bit more widespread. CAMs
    suggest that this storm cluster -- aided by very favorable shear --
    could organize into at least a loosely organized bowing MCS during
    the evening, which would shift eastward across the lower Mississippi
    Valley and later the central Gulf Coast states overnight, along a
    warm frontal zone. While somewhat limited low-level moisture -- and
    thus possibly a very weakly stable boundary layer -- is expected,
    risk for at least locally damaging winds is apparent, particularly
    if convection organizes in an upscale manner as anticipated.
    Additionally, an intensifying southerly low-level jet implying
    strong warm advection may support a gradual increase in cellular --
    and likely rotating -- convection ahead of the main cluster of
    storms. Given the presence of the warm front, and increasingly
    favorable veering/increasing of the low-level flow field with
    height, risk for a couple of tornadoes also remains apparent, given
    what should be a not-prohibitively-stable boundary layer in the
    vicinity of, and to the south of, the warm front.

    While CAMs suggest that a fairly well-organized bowing convective
    line may be shifting across Alabama late in the period, a slightly
    more stable boundary layer may preclude more widespread wind risk,
    and thus an eastward expansion of the SLGT risk area will not be
    initiated at this time.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    THROUGH SOUTHERN ALABAMA...SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected on
    Saturday across parts of the Southeast. All severe hazards appear
    possible including large to very large hail, damaging wind, and
    tornadoes.

    ...Southeast States...

    An MCS will likely be in progress early Saturday, primarily from a
    portion of central and southern GA into southern AL. The leading
    squall line may pose an ongoing risk for mostly damaging wind, but
    isolated tornadoes will also be possible with any embedded supercell structures. This activity will likely leave an outflow boundary that
    will stall before retreating northward during the day. Most models
    including the CAM solutions destabilize the atmosphere rapidly from
    the southwest as mid to upper 60s F dewpoints advect through the
    warm sector beneath plume of steeper mid-level lapse rates. Model
    solutions are not in full agreement on the initial southward extent
    of or evolution of the morning outflow boundary, so this raises some uncertainty regarding where best corridors of instability will set
    up. Nevertheless, a corridor of moderate instability is expected
    with 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE possible during the afternoon from
    central AL through southern GA and southward toward the Gulf coastal
    area. Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop Saturday
    afternoon within the evolving confluent low-level flow regime from
    eastern MS into AL as well as along the retreating outflow boundary.
    Low level winds will veer in wake of a leading shortwave trough, but
    a secondary area of deeper ascent accompanying an upstream vorticity
    maximum is expected to spread across the area during the day. Mixed
    storms modes are likely, but wind profiles with strong effective
    bulk shear of 50+ kt will support organized storms including
    supercells and bowing segments with large hail, damaging wind and
    tornadoes possible. Given the veered low-level winds, the greatest
    tornado threat might evolve with storms interacting with retreating
    boundary.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Florida Peninsula as
    well as southern portions of the Pacific Northwest. No severe
    thunderstorms are currently forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to extend across the Mid-Atlantic
    States early Sunday morning before quickly progressing offshore.
    Low-amplitude, predominantly zonal mid-level flow will persist
    across the central and eastern CONUS in the wake of this lead wave
    for most of the period. Upper ridging will then begin building early
    Monday morning across the central CONUS, ahead of a deepening upper
    trough supported by a pair of embedded shortwaves.

    At the surface, a low center just off the Delmarva Peninsula early
    Sunday is expected to continue northeastward as its attendant front
    pushes slowly southward across FL. Warm and moist conditions across
    FL will support isolated thunderstorms along this front as it moves
    down the peninsula.

    A lightning flash or two is possible across southeast SD and
    adjacent southwest/south-central MN early Sunday but coverage is
    expected to be less than 10 percent. Isolated thunderstorms are also
    possible over central/southern OR and portions of northern CA. In
    this area, ascent and cool mid-level temperatures attendant to a
    shortwave trough moving into the western Great Basin could result in
    isolated lightning flashes.

    is not expected.

    ...FL...

    Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will be ongoing Sunday
    morning across northern FL and will develop southward along a cold
    front during the day. The deeper forcing and stronger winds aloft
    accompanying a shortwave trough will move off the Atlantic Seaboard
    and away from this region early in the period. While an isolated
    strong wind gust or two cannot be ruled out with storms developing
    during the afternoon, an organized severe event is not expected.

    ...Pacific NW...

    A shortwave trough will move inland during the day accompanied by
    steepening lapse rates. Instability will remain very weak, but may
    become sufficient for isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon as
    the boundary layer destabilizes. Activity will persist into early
    evening, before diminishing overnight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Upper Midwest as well
    as over portions of the northern and central Rockies on Monday. An
    isolated storm or two is also possible across southern Florida.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper pattern is expected to amplify on Monday as western CONUS
    upper troughing deepens and downstream upper
    ridging builds. Strong mid-level flow will exist throughout the
    basal portion of the upper trough and extend from northern Mexico
    across the central Plains into the Upper Midwest throughout much of
    the period. Strengthening of this mid/upper flow is anticipated late
    in the period over the southern High Plains.

    Surface pattern will feature a broad area of low pressure across the
    Plains, which is expected to deepen throughout the day. A low
    embedded within this broad area of low pressure will likely move
    along the NE/SD border throughout the day before then moving more
    northeastward into southwest MN. Additional cyclogenesis is
    anticipated over the central High Plains Monday evening with the
    resulting low moving across southern NE late Monday night into early
    Tuesday morning.

    Additionally, an upper low embedded within the large parent trough
    is forecast to move into the northern Great Basin. Isolated
    thunderstorms are possible over portions of the northern and central
    Rockies as this low and attendant cold mid-level temperatures
    approach the region.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across the eastern
    Dakotas and western MN early Monday morning, supported by warm-air
    advection attendant to a strong low-level jet over the Plains.

    During the day, persistent low-level southerly flow will promote
    moisture advection across the southern/central Plains and MS Valley.
    Low 60s dewpoints could reach as far north as central IA by Monday
    evening. At the same time, the frontal zone between the two surface
    lows mentioned in the synopsis will sharpen, likely extending from
    southwest MN into far northeast CO at 00Z Tuesday. Despite the
    presence of this boundary and increasing low-level moisture, warm
    low to mid-level temperatures are forecast to preclude
    afternoon/evening storm development. Isolated thunderstorms are
    possible across the Upper Midwest Monday evening into early Tuesday
    morning as a dynamically enhanced low-level jet develops once again.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Upper Midwest as well
    as over portions of the northern and central Rockies on Monday.

    ...Upper Midwest...

    A warm front is initially forecast to extend from a surface low over
    central NE through central IA and southern IL early Monday morning.
    This front will move slowly northward to near the IA/MN border and
    eastward through southern WI by Monday evening. Warm temperatures at
    the base of an EML will contribute to a strong cap in warm sector
    and in vicinity of the warm front. As a result, the most likely area
    for thunderstorms during the period will be within zone of deeper
    isentropic ascent well north of this boundary across central and
    northern MN, northern WI and the upper peninsula of MI. These storms
    will be elevated with limited severe threat, though some marginally
    severe hail might occur with the stronger updrafts given presence of
    steep mid-level lapse rates.

    ...Northern and Central Rockies...

    Cold air aloft and steep mid-level lapse rates will accompany an
    upper trough through the northern and central Rockies Monday. Areas
    of diabatic heating of the surface layer and corridors of deeper
    ascent attending the shortwave trough will favor development of
    isolated thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening before
    diminishing overnight.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday
    night, primarily across a portion of the Southern Plains.

    ...Southern plains region...

    A broad fetch of southwesterly winds aloft will become established
    over the Southern Plains Tuesday downstream from an upper trough
    that will amplify over the Southwest States. A warm elevated mixed
    later (EML) will advect through much of the warm sector resulting in
    a strong cap to surface based storms during the day over much of
    this region. Low-level dewpoints in the low to mid 60s will advect
    as far as northwest TX into western OK during the afternoon beneath
    the EML resulting in a corridor of moderate surface-based
    instability with 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE possible east of the dryline.
    An early round of scattered showers and thunderstorms still appears
    likely from late morning into the afternoon across parts of central
    and northern Texas into OK in association with ascent attending a
    leading shortwave trough. However, this activity will likely be
    elevated above the CAP, but could pose a risk for marginally severe
    hail.

    Upstream of the early activity, a corridor of surface heating will
    likely occur from western TX into far western OK, and surface based
    storms will likely initiate in vicinity of the eastward-mixing
    dryline by late afternoon. Effective bulk shear from 45-55 kt will
    support supercells as the initial storm mode and this activity will
    pose a risk for large to very large hail. A relatively small window
    will exist for isolated tornadoes as the low-level jet increases
    during the early evening and before the boundary layer decouples.
    Some upscale growth may occur, and activity may continue east
    through parts of northwest and north central TX into OK during the
    overnight with a continued threat for large hail and damaging wind.
    An upgrade to ENG risk for large hail may be introduced from a
    portion of western TX into southwest OK on the day 1 updates.

    A couple of supercells might also develop over the higher terrain of
    northern Mexico and spread into south central TX with very large
    hail and a tornado or two the main threats during the evening.

    ...Central High Plains...

    Upslope flow and low-level convergence near a deepening surface low
    will likely result in thunderstorm development over far northeast CO
    and vicinity Tuesday afternoon. Strong vertical shear may result in
    organized updrafts and the potential for a few supercells.
    Additionally, a cold front stalled across the region could augment
    ascent while also provided a corridor for storm progression.

    ...Upper Midwest...

    Elevated storms early in the period, driven by warm-air advection
    over the front, could occasionally become strong enough to produce
    isolated hail in the vicinity of SD/IA/MN border intersection.
    Additional thunderstorm development is possible later Tuesday
    evening and overnight across southern MI and central WI as the
    low-level jet increases again.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS AND MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Marginally severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday from parts
    of the central Gulf Coast northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic. Wind
    gusts and hail will be the primary hazards.

    ...Central Gulf Coast/Southern Georgia...
    A shortwave trough will move to the Eastern Seaboard on Wednesday as
    another shortwave trough moves across the Ohio and Tennessee
    Valleys. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward
    across the central Gulf Coast States. Thunderstorms may be ongoing
    along parts of the front at the start of the period. Convective
    coverage is expected to expand during the morning as surface
    temperatures warm. By midday, a line of strong thunderstorms is
    forecast along and just ahead of the front from far southeast
    Louisiana east-northeastward into southwest Georgia. Steep low-level
    lapse rates and veered low-level flow of about 30 kt will aid a
    marginal wind damage threat. The threat should continue through the
    afternoon as the line moves slowly south-southeastward across the
    central Gulf Coast and southern Georgia. Hail will also be possible
    with the stronger cells.

    ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic...
    A shortwave trough will move across the southern and central
    Appalachians during the morning on Wednesday. Thunderstorm
    development may take place near a surface trough located from the
    Mid-Atlantic southward into eastern North Carolina. Although
    instability will be weak, 850 mb winds of 35 to 45 kt along with
    steep low-level lapse rates may be enough for a marginal wind damage
    threat. A second shortwave trough will move into the region during
    the mid to late afternoon. An associated cold front will advance
    southeastward into the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas. Thunderstorm
    development will be possible near the front during the mid to late
    afternoon. Instability will again be weak but low-level lapse rates
    should be steep enough for a marginal wind damage threat. Hail may
    also occur with the stronger thunderstorms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF FLORIDA...AND PARTS OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms are expected across parts of northern Florida
    southward along the Atlantic coast of the Peninsula, as well as
    across parts of the middle Mississippi Valley vicinity on Thursday.
    Hail and strong gusts will be the main hazards with these storms.

    ...Florida...

    A cold front will sag southward from southern GA into central FL
    during the forecast period. A seasonally moist airmass, with
    dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s will be in place across FL,
    and will support moderate to strong destabilization with MLCAPE
    values around 1500-2500 J/kg forecast. Deep layer west/southwesterly
    flow will be relatively weak, especially with southward extent
    across the Peninsula, and little frontal convergence is expected
    given veered low level winds. Nevertheless, scattered thunderstorms
    are expected as the upper trough pivots eastward through the period.
    The combination of moderate/strong instability and high PW values
    could result in strong gusts with briefly organized cells, though
    weak shear and poor mid-level lapse rates should limit greater
    severe potential.

    ...Middle Mississippi Valley vicinity...

    A shortwave impulse rotating through a larger-scale trough over the
    eastern U.S. will aid in thunderstorm development in northwesterly
    mid/upper flow across the region. At the surface, boundary layer
    moisture will remain modest, with dewpoints generally in the upper
    40s to low 50s. Nevertheless, weak instability (around 500-750 J/kg
    MLCAPE) is forecast as a plume of steep midlevel lapse rates (7-8
    C/km) overspreads the region. Moderate midlevel flow with 30-40 kt northwesterly winds between 850-700 mb and effective shear around
    25-30 kt should allow for a few organized cells. Elongated
    hodographs and inverted-v low level thermodynamic profiles below
    around 850 mb will further support clusters of storms capable of
    strong gusts and hail ahead of a southeastward-advancing cold front
    during the afternoon/evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF KS
    INTO WEST-CENTRAL MO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are expected across parts of the central and
    southern Plains on Saturday. Some of these storms will pose a risk
    for very large hail, damaging gusts, and perhaps a few tornadoes.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...

    An upper ridge centered over the Plains Saturday morning will weaken
    and spread eastward toward the MS Valley through the evening as a
    shortwave trough ejects eastward across the Rockies. A plume of
    steep midlevel lapse rates will overspread the region amid moderate
    shear values. A surface low will deepen over western KS in response,
    and increasing southerly low level flow will result in northward
    moisture transport ahead of a dryline extending across western KS/OK
    and into southwest TX. During the evening, a cold front will surge south/southeast across the central Plains, becoming oriented from
    central MO to northwest TX by Sunday morning. Meanwhile, a warm
    front will lift northward across KS to near the KS/southeast NE
    border into central MO by afternoon.

    Thunderstorms are expected to develop near the southward-surging
    cold front across eastern CO during the afternoon. Poor boundary
    layer moisture, and inverted-v low level thermodynamic profiles will
    support isolated strong downburst winds, while elongated hodographs
    and steep midlevel lapse rates suggest some potential for sporadic
    large hail. A conditional threat for severe storms will continue
    southward along the dryline across western parts of OK into western
    TX. While boundary layer moisture will be greater across this area,
    strong capping, weaker large-scale ascent and poor dryline
    convergence will limit storm coverage. Nevertheless, strong heating
    and deep mixing along the dryline could result in a few storms
    capable of large hail and strong gusts.

    A greater severe threat is expected to materialize across parts of central/eastern KS into central MO during the afternoon and evening.
    While 60s dewpoints are expected across this area, deeper/better
    quality boundary layer moisture will likely remain south of the
    region. Nevertheless, midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8.5 C/km and
    30-40 kt effective shear should support supercell storm development,
    first near the triple point across western KS. Large hail and
    damaging gusts are possible with this initial activity. Convection
    should increase as it spreads east/northeast toward the warm front.
    Enhanced low level shear in the vicinity of the front will increase
    tornado potential somewhat, and a few tornadoes are possible across
    parts of central/eastern KS and perhaps far southeast NE, dependent
    on the exact location of the warm front. A strengthening
    southwesterly low level jet is forecast to develop during the
    evening and some upward development into one or more lines/bowing
    segments is possible across parts of eastern KS into west-central
    MO, where strong gusts could continue into the late evening hours.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of producing large to very
    large hail and severe wind gusts may occur Monday across parts of
    south-central Texas. Other strong to severe thunderstorms appear
    possible from portions of the southern Plains into the lower
    Mississippi Valley and Southeast, as well as southern Virginia into
    the Carolinas.

    ...South-Central Texas...
    A nearly stalled front should extend across central TX on Monday,
    with a dryline extending southward from this front into
    north-central Mexico. Nearly zonal mid-level flow will persist over
    the southern Plains, with nebulous large-scale forcing for ascent.
    Even so, low-level convergence along the front and sharpening
    dryline and modest east-southeasterly low-level flow should prove
    sufficient in tandem with strong diurnal heating to foster isolated
    convective development Monday afternoon/evening. The airmass
    along/south of the front and east of the dryline should become
    moderately to strongly unstable, with MLCAPE of 2000-3500+ J/kg
    forecast. Although the stronger mid-level westerly flow is forecast
    to remain mostly north of the front, winds should strengthen at
    upper levels. Effective bulk shear of 40-50 kt will support
    supercell structures with any storms that can form.

    The presence of steep mid-level lapse rates and a long, generally
    straight hodograph at mid/upper levels suggest large to perhaps very
    large hail should be the main threat with any supercells. Isolated severe/damaging wind gusts may also occur with both the initially
    discrete storms, and any clusters that can develop
    east-southeastward through the evening. There is still some
    uncertainty with how much convection will ultimately form across the
    warm sector in south-central TX given the lack of obvious forcing
    aloft. But, the 12Z ECMWF and 00Z GFS both show a robust convective precipitation signal, and some convection-allowing guidance also
    develops multiple supercells across this region. Accordingly,
    confidence in convective initiation occurring has increased enough
    to include greater severe hail/wind probabilities across part of
    south-central TX.

    ...Southern Virginia into the Carolinas...
    A low-amplitude shortwave trough should move off the East Coast
    early in the period. Other weak, convectively augmented mid-level
    perturbations may move eastward across the Carolinas and vicinity
    through the day. A trailing cold front extending across southern VA
    into western NC should be the primary forcing mechanism that will
    focus storm development Monday afternoon. Diurnal heating of a
    fairly moist low-level airmass will probably support MLCAPE reaching
    1000-1500 J/kg by peak afternoon heating. 30-40 kt of deep-layer
    shear should foster a mix of supercells and clusters with initial
    development, with a tendency for some upscale growth through the
    afternoon and early evening given the linear forcing of the front.
    Isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts both appear possible
    with these storms as they move east-southeastward. They should
    eventually move offshore and/or weaken by Monday evening.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley into the Southeast...
    Storms will probably be ongoing at the start of the period Monday
    morning across some part of the lower MS Valley and Southeast, but
    there is uncertainty with both the placement and intensity of this
    convection. Most guidance suggests that the better isolated severe
    storm threat should remain mostly to the south of these morning
    storms. Somewhat farther north, a surface front will likely serve as
    the northern limit for any appreciable severe potential. Given
    nebulous large-scale ascent forecast in model guidance, it remains
    unclear how much additional convection will develop Monday afternoon along/south of the front. Any storms that do form could become
    severe given a weakly to moderately unstable airmass and the
    presence of 35-50 kt of westerly mid-level flow. Isolated large hail
    and strong to damaging wind gusts should be the main threats. With
    considerable uncertainty regarding overall storm coverage and the
    effect of morning storms on the degree of destabilization Monday
    afternoon, will maintain a broad Marginal Risk area.

    ...North-Central/East Texas to the ArkLaTex...
    Isolated to scattered storms may form through the period from parts
    of north-central/east TX to the ArkLaTex vicinity. Most of this
    activity should occur to the north of a surface front. But, the
    shallow nature of this front and the continued presence of steep
    mid-level lapse rates should allow for a reservoir of potentially
    moderate instability to remain across this region (MUCAPE around
    1500-2500 J/kg). Large hail will likely be the main severe threat
    with any storms that occur, as 40-50 kt of mid-level westerly flow
    will foster similar values of effective bulk shear.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE TX HILL COUNTRY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of producing large to very
    large hail and severe wind gusts may occur Monday across parts of
    south-central Texas. Other strong to severe thunderstorms appear
    possible from portions of the southern Plains into the lower
    Mississippi Valley and Southeast, as well as southern Virginia into
    the Carolinas.

    ...Central/East/South TX...Arklatex...
    Expectation is for a weakening cold front to extend from the Edwards
    Plateau through southeast TX early Monday morning. Some isolated
    showers will likely be ongoing, particularly across central and east
    TX, but any thunderstorms associated with Sunday night's activity
    are forecast to be across the Lower MS Valley. Any additional
    southward progress of the front throughout the day is expected to be
    minimal, with at least modest low-level moisture beginning to return
    northward Monday afternoon. Southerly/southwesterly low-level flow
    across this frontal zone is not expected to be particularly strong,
    but persistent isentropic ascent may contribute isolated
    thunderstorms throughout the day across north-central/northeast TX
    into the Arklatex. Steep mid-level lapse rates and moderate
    mid-level flow will contribute to an environment that supports hail
    with the strongest storms. This hail threat will persist through the
    evening and overnight as the low-level flow gradually strengthens.

    Guidance is in good agreement that a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    will move across northern Mexico and into the TX Hill Country late
    Monday night/early Tuesday. As ascent attendant to this shortwave
    spreads eastward, it should augment ongoing convergence along the
    front as well as strengthen the southwesterly low-level flow to
    support additional thunderstorm development across the Edwards
    Plateau/TX Hill Country. Forecast hodographs show modest low-level
    veering transitioning to long and straight character in the
    mid-levels. This type of wind field coupled with steep mid-level
    lapse rates suggests supercells capable of large to isolated very
    large hail. Strong water-loaded downbursts and a tornado or two are
    also possible.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley into the Southeast...
    Showers and thunderstorms, remnant from activity Sunday night/early
    Monday morning, will likely be ongoing from southern LA into the
    central Gulf Coast. A damaging wind gust or two could occur with
    these storms.

    A cold front is expected to gradually shift southward/southeastward
    throughout the day, with some additional thunderstorm development
    possible along this front. Much of the region will be south of the
    stronger westerly flow aloft, but amply low-level moisture and
    modest buoyancy could still result in updrafts strong enough to
    produce water-loaded downbursts capable of damaging wind gusts.

    ...Southern Virginia into the Carolinas...
    Modest low-level moisture will be in place ahead of a cold front
    gradually moving southward across southern VA And the Carolinas on
    Monday. Moderate to strong mid-level flow will persist throughout
    the day, with some late afternoon/early evening strengthening on
    this flow possible as a low-amplitude shortwave trough moves through
    the region. Ascent attendant to this shortwave will augment the lift
    along the front, helping to foster thunderstorm development once the
    air mass destabilizes. Instability will be modest, but
    aforementioned strong mid-level flow should still result in robust
    updrafts. A cluster/bowing line segment storm mode is anticipated,
    with damaging wind gusts as the main severe threat.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN
    GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible Wednesday across parts
    of northern Florida and southern Georgia. Localized wind damage or
    marginal hail will be possible.

    ...Southern GA into northern FL...
    As a low-amplitude upper trough exits the Mid Atlantic, moderate
    westerly flow aloft will remain over much of the Southeast. At the
    surface, high pressure will exist over much of the central and
    eastern CONUS, the exception being over southern MS/AL/GA and FL,
    south of a cold front. Mid to upper 60s F dewpoints will exist south
    of this front, with the greatest low-level lapse rates/heating
    developing over FL and southern GA. Forecast soundings yield
    1000-1500 J/kg MUCAPE, with modest deep-layer shear of 35 or 40 kt
    maximized along the cold front.

    A few storms may be ongoing Wednesday morning across the northern
    Gulf of Mexico or into southern MS and AL, and may continue east
    during the day. Additional development is expected along and ahead
    of the front during the afternoon. Sufficiently long, straight-line
    hodographs will favor cells capable of marginal hail, with locally
    damaging gusts possible with any larger clusters of storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    NEBRASKA INTO NORTHERN KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Storms capable of producing large hail and a few strong wind gusts
    will be possible from central Nebraska into northern Kansas Thursday
    afternoon and evening.

    ...Central Plains...
    Beneath modest northwest flow aloft, a lee-trough will develop
    during the day over the High Plains, with strong heating producing
    steep low-level lapse rates. Meanwhile, boundary-layer dewpoints are
    expected to average in the mid 40s F as gusty southerly winds
    develop during the afternoon. Midlevel temperatures will remain
    cool, resulting in MUCAPE between 500 and 1000 J/kg.

    Storms should develop near the surface trough over western NE,
    between 21Z and 00Z. Elongated, primarily straight hodographs will
    strongly favor cellular storm mode, with sufficient moisture and
    instability favoring hail around 1" in diameter. A few strong wind
    gusts may also develop with cold outflow and a well-mixed boundary
    layer. A tight CIN gradient is forecast into central/eastern NE and
    KS, which will limit the eastward extent of the severe risk.

    ...Southern FL...
    Around 35 kt deep layer shear will remain over the area beneath
    westerly winds aloft, with heating resulting in around 1500 J/kg
    MLCAPE by afternoon. Sea-breeze convection is expected after about
    20Z, and producing gusty winds. Weak low-level wind fields as well
    as poor lapse rates aloft currently precludes any severe
    probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms appear possible across parts of the southern/central Plains on Friday, with large hail and severe wind
    gusts the main threats.

    ...Synopsis...
    Flow aloft will remain northwesterly across the Divide as shortwave
    ridging in the southern Plains continues ahead of a developing
    western trough. Upper-level forcing will be quite diffuse with only
    subtle flow enhancement within the central High Plains. A weak lee trough/cyclone and increasing 850 mb winds will aid in moisture
    transport to the north, though dewpoints likely will not exceed the
    low/mid 50s F. Isolated to widely scattered storms are most likely
    to initiate within the High Plains lee trough with some potential
    for a semi-organized cluster or two to persist into the evening
    aided by the low-level jet.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Strong daytime heating will help to initiate storms within the
    surface trough across the western Texas Panhandle. Though deep-layer
    shear will be modest, steep low/mid-level lapse rates will mean
    storms could be rather intense initially. Early, more discrete
    storms will be capable of large hail. Given the deeply mixed
    boundary layer, storms will tend to become quickly outflow dominant
    and the primary risk will shift to strong/severe wind gusts. It is
    possible a semi-organized cluster could evolve out of this activity,
    but confidence is low given 20-30 kts of effective shear and strong
    CIN with eastward extent.

    ...Eastern Colorado into central Kansas...
    Storms are expected to initiate off of the higher terrain in eastern
    Colorado and propagate to the east. Large hail and damaging winds
    will be possible. There is a conditional threat for a few more
    organized storms in southwestern Kansas as effective shear will be
    40-50 kts by late afternoon. Uncertainty remains a bit high, though,
    as models show a strong outflow signal from convection in the Texas
    Panhandle which could potentially limit coverage of severe storms.
    Into central Kansas, some guidance continues to show convection
    developing in association with a modest low-level jet. Convection
    here will most likely be elevated with a marginally severe hail and
    isolated wind gust threat.

    ...Southeast Wyoming...
    A few storms are expected to develop in the Laramie Range during the
    afternoon. Moisture will be relatively limited this far north,
    though some increase is expected late in the day as southeasterly
    winds increase at low levels. Inverted-v profiles will support
    potential for damaging wind gusts. MLCAPE may only reach 500-1000
    J/kg, but 40-50 kts effective shear and steep mid-level lapse rates
    would support isolated large hail. How far southeastward this
    activity extends is questionable, but moisture return along with a
    modest low-level jet into southwest Nebraska could help sustain a
    cluster into the evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with damaging wind gusts and isolated large
    hail will be possible across parts of the southern and central
    Plains Sunday afternoon and evening.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move across the southern and
    central Plains on Sunday as a shortwave ridge moves across the
    southern and central Rockies. At the surface, a low will likely
    develop in the southern High Plains Sunday afternoon. Southerly
    winds in the southern Plains will result in moisture advection
    throughout the day, with surface dewpoints reaching the lower to mid
    60s F across much of Texas. A west Texas dryline may again setup by
    afternoon with low-level convergence becoming maximized along and to
    the east of the dryline. This should support convective initiation
    during the early to mid afternoon. Thunderstorms are forecast to
    develop and move eastward across the southern High Plains during the
    mid to late afternoon.

    As has been the case in recent days, a broad corridor of moderate
    instability will develop on Sunday across the southern High Plains.
    Flow in the low to mid-levels is forecast to be west to
    west-northwesterly, which will create enough directional shear for
    organized severe storms. NAM forecast soundings at Amarillo and
    Lubbock by 21Z have MLCAPE in the 2500 to 3000 J/kg range with 0-6
    km shear near 35 kt. 850 to 500 mb lapse rates are forecast to be
    near 8.0 C/km. This combination of instability and shear should be
    favorable for supercells with isolated large hail. The forecast
    soundings also show relatively large-temperature dewpoint spreads
    and steep low-level lapse rates. This should be favorable for
    high-based storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts. The
    severe threat should move eastward across the southern High Plains
    during the late afternoon and early evening, potentially reaching
    northwest Texas and western Oklahoma by mid evening.

    ...Central High Plains...
    A shortwave trough will move eastward across the southern and
    central Plains on Sunday with a shortwave ridge moving across the
    southern and central Rockies. An axis of moderate instability is
    forecast to develop by afternoon from southwest Kansas extending
    northwestward into northeast Colorado. Convection will initiate in
    the higher terrain of eastern Colorado by early to mid afternoon.
    Thunderstorms are forecast to move eastward across the central High
    Plains during the late afternoon and early evening.

    Model forecasts suggest that MLCAPE could reach the 1500 to 2500
    J/kg range across eastern Colorado by Sunday afternoon. However,
    deep-layer shear is forecast to be considerably less in eastern
    Colorado than on previous days. For this reason, thunderstorms that
    move across eastern Colorado may be less organized. The stronger
    multicells could produce marginally severe wind gusts and hail. As
    the storms move east-southeastward into southwest Kansas, they will
    encounter more instability and stronger deep-layer shear. This may
    help the storms to become more organized during the early to mid
    evening. If a cold pool can develop, then wind damage and isolated
    large hail would be possible.

    ...Ozarks...
    A shortwave trough will move eastward across the southern and
    central Plains on Sunday. At the surface, an axis of maximized
    low-level moisture is forecast to be in place from northeast Kansas east-southward into the mid Mississippi Valley. Some model forecasts
    show moderate instability along this corridor by afternoon, and
    develop scattered thunderstorms. Steep low-level lapse rates near
    7.5 C/km combined with 0-6 km shear in the 20 to 30 kt range would
    be sufficient for a marginal wind damage threat.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms with large hail and wind damage will be
    possible tomorrow across parts of the northern High Plains.
    Marginally severe thunderstorms may occur outside of the Slight risk
    area in parts of the Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi
    Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper ridging and associated large-scale subsidence will
    prevail across much of the eastern CONUS, as a mid-level trough
    gradually progresses eastward across the western CONUS. Across the
    Plains states into the Upper Mississippi Valley, deep-layer
    meridional flow will define the upper air pattern, with a wide
    corridor of 30+ kt low-level flow advecting moisture northward
    through the day. Low-level moisture return will become relatively
    more meager with westward extent across the central CONUS. Still,
    upslope flow along the higher terrain to the lee of the Rockies,
    along with glancing upper support from the approaching mid-level
    trough, will contribute to deep-layer ascent supporting the
    development of strong storms with some severe risk across the
    northern High Plains. Deep-moist convergence at the terminus of the
    stronger low-level flow across the Upper Mississippi Valley is also
    expected to foster organized storm development during the afternoon
    hours, with a couple of severe storms possible.

    ...Northern High Plains...
    Convective initiation is expected by mid afternoon to the lee of the
    Rockies. Storms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity
    atop a dry, deeply mixed boundary layer (extending up to 700-500 mb
    in some spots) given relatively lackluster low-level moisture
    recovery, with surface dewpoints remaining generally below 50F.
    Nonetheless, sfc-3km AGL lapse rates are expected to exceed 8.5 C/km
    by peak heating across much of the northern High Plains, overspread
    by 8+ C/km mid-level lapse rates supporting 1500+ J/kg MLCAPE.
    Vigorous convective development is expected along the lee of the
    Rockies, that combined with 30+ kts of sfc-6 km speed shear, will
    support updraft organization into multicellular clusters and
    transient supercells. Large hail may accompany the stronger
    updrafts. However, relatively mediocre low-level shear and
    evaporative cooling within the deep, very dry sub-cloud layer is
    expected to result in cold pool mergers and subsequent upscale
    growth into one or more MCSs by early evening. Damaging wind gusts
    may accompany the stronger cores embedded within any organized MCS.

    ...Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley...
    While widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected
    within the axis of stronger 925-850 mb flow at the start of the
    period across parts of IA into MN, gradual clearing is expected
    later in the day. While low and mid-level lapse rates will not be as
    steep compared to areas farther west, richer low-level moisture is
    expected to compensate. As such, 1000-1500 J/K MLCAPE is expected by
    afternoon across the Upper Mississippi Valley, northwestward to the
    U.S./Canada border, where a cold front is expected to be slowly
    sagging southward. Damaging gusts and a couple severe hail stones
    may accompany the stronger storms embedded in the low-level wind
    maxima, and along the front itself. Given relatively modest speed
    and directional vertical wind shear (with bulk effective shear
    values remaining around or below 35 kts), the severe threat is
    expected to remain relatively isolated, with a Marginal risk in
    place to address this threat.

    PORTIONS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST/UPPER GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms capable of producing hail and strong gusty winds
    will be possible Friday across parts of the High Plains, with a wind
    gust or two also possible over parts of the Upper Midwest.

    ...Synopsis...
    A high-amplitude upper flow field -- featuring a closed low and surrounding/broad cyclonic flow field -- will cover the western half
    of the country, while a ridge encompasses the East.

    At the surface, high pressure will prevail from the southern Plains/Ozarks/Midwest regions eastward. Meanwhile, on the eastern
    fringe of the cyclonic flow field aloft, a surface baroclinic zone
    will extend from the northern Plains to the Four Corners area, while
    a lee trough extends from a weak frontal low over northeastern
    Colorado southward across the southern High Plains region through
    the period.

    ...North Dakota vicinity southward into the central High Plains... Thunderstorms are forecast to develop near and to the cool side of a
    baroclinic zone lying from northeast Colorado north-northeastward
    into the Dakotas during the afternoon. Most of the convection over
    the Dakotas will likely remain elevated west of the front, with hail
    being the primary severe risk. Farther southwest, across northeast
    Colorado and far southeast Wyoming and into the Nebraska Panhandle
    -- just northeast of the northeastern Colorado surface low -- a few surface-based storms are expected near peak heating. Here, locally gusty/damaging winds will be possible along with potential for hail
    with the strongest storms. While the wind risk will decrease
    through the evening as surface-based storms diminish, some hail risk
    may continue with elevated storms persisting in a zone of warm
    advection north/west of the front.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Isolated afternoon convective development is expected along a weak
    lee trough across the High Plains of southeastern Colorado and into
    eastern New Mexico, as the airmass destabilizes in tandem with
    daytime heating. With moderately strong
    southerly/south-southwesterly flow with height suggesting that a few
    stronger storms/segments may evolve, and a deep mixed layer
    supporting potential for evaporatively enhanced downdrafts, a 5%
    wind/MRGL risk will is being included.

    ...Parts of the Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes...
    As a weak vort max on the western portion of the eastern U.S. upper
    ridge moves north-northeastward across the Upper Midwest vicinity
    through the afternoon and into the Upper Great Lakes during the
    evening, showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to evolve,
    within a modestly unstable environment. While weak lapse rates
    should limit overall convective intensity/severe risk, moderately
    strong south-southwesterly flow with height may be sufficient to
    allow evolution of a few stronger storms during the afternoon and
    early evening. Locally gusty/damaging winds would likely be the
    main risk, before convection weakens diurnally.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

    CORRECTED TEXT

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging winds will be
    possible across the central and southern High Plains on Saturday.

    ...Synopsis...
    While a short-wave upper trough is forecast to shift southeastward
    across the northeastern U.S. Saturday, most of the eastern half of
    the country will remain under the influence of broad upper ridging.
    Meanwhile, a gradually weakening upper low is forecast to move very slowly/gradually northeastward across the Intermountain West.

    At the surface, a baroclinic zone will persist from the upper
    Mississippi Valley southwestward across the central High Plains and
    into the Four Corners states, with the boundary making southward
    progress across the north-central U.S. during the second half of the
    period.

    ...Central and southern High Plains...
    Afternoon heating/destabilization across the central and southern
    High Plains will result in isolated to scattered thunderstorm
    development, aided by weak upslope flow and subtle mid-level height
    falls. The low-level southeasterly upslope flow will be topped by
    mid-level southwesterlies, which should gradually increase across
    the area as the upper jet shifts slowly east.

    The combination of ample destabilization and sufficient shear
    suggests organized/rotating storms will evolve locally, along with
    attendant risk for locally damaging winds and hail. Convection will
    likely spread northeastward with time toward lower elevations,
    though eastward extent of severe risk should remain limited by
    weaker shear over the lower Plains, and the influence of the
    expansive eastern upper ridge.

    ...Northern Minnesota and eastern Dakotas...
    Showers and a few thunderstorms -- possibly ongoing over the
    northern Minnesota area early -- may become a bit more
    widespread/vigorous through the afternoon and evening along a
    baroclinic zone extending northeastward across the eastern Dakotas
    and into northern Minnesota. Moderate deep-layer flow may allow a
    few stronger storms to evolve, with a locally damaging gust or a few
    marginal hail events possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTHERN GREAT
    PLAINS INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of severe gusts and large hail are
    possible across portions of the northern Great Plains on Sunday
    afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large-scale mid-level trough will reside over the western U.S.
    with a ridge located over the MS Valley/Upper Midwest. Farther
    east, a mid-level trough will glance the Northeast U.S. In the low
    levels, a cold front will push through a large part of New England
    during the day with the trailing portion of the front extending
    through the Upper Midwest/northern Great Plains. An elongated area
    of low pressure/surface trough will extend through the High Plains.

    ...Northern Great Plains southward through the High Plains...
    A mid-level disturbance, embedded within a larger-scale western U.S.
    trough, will move from the central Rockies north-northeastward into
    the northern High Plains during the period. An attendant belt of
    strong, meridional 500-mb flow (50+ kt) will gradually move
    longitudinally east and overspread the western part of the Great
    Plains warm sector during the afternoon/evening. Strong
    south-southeasterly low-level flow will maintain a fetch of
    mid-upper 50s boundary layer dewpoints from SD southward to NM/TX.
    Strong heating will contribute to moderate buoyancy (1000-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE). Stronger flow over the northern and central High Plains
    will support organized storm structures, including the possibility
    for several supercells and bow-shaped structures. Models indicate
    perhaps the most favorable combination of shear/buoyancy will focus
    over SD during the afternoon/early evening. Organization into one
    or more bands of storms is likely during the evening as a LLJ
    strengthens with widely scattered severe gusts becoming the primary
    threat before the severe risk lessens late.

    ...Northeast...
    Heating and a reservoir of low 60s F dewpoints ahead of a cold front
    will yield weak instability developing over northern New England by
    midday Sunday. Nearly unidirectional west-northwesterly flow will
    favor southeastward-moving storms as widely scattered convection
    develops by early to mid afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts may
    accompany a couple of the stronger downdrafts as this activity moves
    into southern New England and the Hudson Valley during the late
    afternoon/early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of severe gusts and large hail are
    possible across portions of the northern Great Plains tomorrow
    afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will eject into the northern High Plains, with
    surface lee troughing encouraging the northward advection of a warm,
    relatively moist airmass across the northern and central CONUS
    tomorrow. Deep-layer ascent associated with the approaching trough,
    and strong surface heating with upslope flow will support scattered
    strong to severe thunderstorm development along the lee of the
    Rockies, from the U.S./Canada to Mexico borders. Upper ridging and
    surface high pressure will dominate much of the Ohio Valley into the
    Southeast, with deep-layer northwesterly flow prevailing across the
    Northeast, where scattered storms (some strong to locally severe)
    are likely tomorrow afternoon ahead of a cold front.

    ...Northern High Plains into the Dakotas...
    Weak surface low development is expected along a warm front across
    the northern High Plains during the morning hours, with the low
    expected to be positioned across western SD by afternoon peak
    heating. Ahead of the low, low 60s F dewpoints will reach northern
    SD during the afternoon, overspread by 7+ C/km mid-level lapse
    rates, supporting widespread 1500 J/kg MLCAPE. 30-50 kts of
    effective bulk shear is expected ahead of an eastward moving cold
    front given ample speed shear. However, troposheric flow will be
    meridional, with unidirectional wind shear above 700 mb expected
    across the central/northern Plain states tomorrow. As such, storms
    should rapidly grow upscale into linear segments, with damaging
    winds and large hail expected as the primary severe hazards. Ahead
    of the surface low and along the warm front across portions of
    western SD, relatively greater backing of the surface winds will
    contribute to locally better low-level veering vertical wind
    profiles. Modestly enlarged hodographs/200+ m2/s2 effective SRH will
    promote some tornado threat with circulations embedded in line
    segments, along with any storms that can manage to stay discrete
    ahead of the line.

    ...Central into the southern High Plains...
    Low-level convergence due to upslope flow and afternoon peak heating
    will encourage scattered thunderstorm development along the lee of
    the higher terrain. Ahead of the storms, a moist low-level airmass (characterized by low 60s F dewpoints) will contribute to 1000-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE. Relatively weak deep-layer and low-level shear will
    foster cold pool mergers with multicellular clusters/transient
    supercells upscale-growing into line segments an hour or so after
    maturity. Large hail may occur with the initial, more discrete storm
    modes, with damaging gusts becoming more prevalent after upscale
    growth.

    ...Northeast...
    Mid 60s F dewpoints beneath 5.5-6 C/km mid-level lapse rates will
    foster 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE ahead of the cold front, where at least
    isolated thunderstorm development is expected tomorrow afternoon.
    While tropospheric flow will be unidirectional (northwesterly),
    40-50 kts of effective bulk shear suggests that some of the storms
    may become organized/strong. As temperatures warm into the 80s F,
    modest boundary-layer mixing may encourage downward momentum
    transport of the stronger flow aloft, with a couple of damaging
    gusts possible with the stronger storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WESTERN KANSAS AND SOUTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe thunderstorms, capable of large hail and
    severe gusts, are possible on Monday afternoon and evening for parts
    of the central Great Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level low and associated trough will slowly move into
    south-central Canada from the MT/Canadian border. A mid-level ridge
    is forecast over the OH Valley/Great Lakes. A cool front will push
    east across parts of the Upper Midwest with the southern portion of
    the boundary stalling over the central Great Plains. A dryline is
    forecast over the southern High Plains.

    ...Central Great Plains into the southern High Plains...
    Southerly low-level flow will maintain a fetch of appreciable
    moisture into the central/southern High Plains where strong heating
    is forecast. The southern fringe of stronger mid-level westerlies
    is forecast to overspread the central High Plains as the primary
    disturbance moves north into the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Model
    guidance has shown some consistency in showing the greatest
    combination of instability and sufficient deep-layer shear to exist
    Monday afternoon across mainly parts of western into northern KS.
    Widely scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop during the
    late afternoon/evening and pose a hail/wind risk with the stronger
    storms. Some upscale growth into a cluster may occur during the
    evening as low-level flow strengthens.

    Farther south, isolated storms are forecast to develop over favored
    terrain areas (i.e., southwest TX) and parts of eastern NM/west and
    northwest TX. Weaker flow fields will limit the overall storm
    intensity, but isolated large hail/severe gusts may accompany the
    stronger cores before this activity weakens during the evening.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Holdover showers/cloud debris at the start of the period will likely
    dissipate during the morning across parts of MN with the airmass
    forecast to destabilize during the day. Models indicate 60s surface
    dewpoints will contribute to moderate instability by mid afternoon.
    Primarily multicell modes are forecast with the stronger 500-mb flow
    forecast to remain displaced to the north/northwest of the warm
    sector. Isolated hail/wind may accompany the stronger storms.

    ...VA/NC...
    A couple of locally strong storms cannot be ruled out across parts
    of this region during the afternoon within a regime of modest
    northwesterly flow aloft. To the south of a residual frontal zone,
    adequate heating/moisture may invigorate a few updrafts to
    intermittently intensify. Coverage/confidence of this expected
    threat appears too isolated to warrant the inclusion of low-severe probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe thunderstorms, capable of large hail and
    severe gusts, are possible Monday afternoon and evening for parts of
    the central Great Plains into the southern High Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough draped across the central/northern Rockies is
    poised to eject into south-central Canada while upper ridging and
    associated surface high pressure dominate the East Coast tomorrow.
    Coincident with the mid-level trough, large-scale surface lee
    troughing will encourage low-level moisture advection across the
    central CONUS ahead of the lee-trough axis, where scattered to
    numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon.
    Steep mid-level lapse rates will overspread the moist sector, with
    adequate instability from the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Big
    Bend in southwest TX promoting vigorous updraft development and
    occasional severe storms.

    ...Portions of the Central Plains to the Southern High Plains...
    By afternoon peak heating, at least scattered thunderstorm
    development is expected ahead of a dryline positioned roughly from
    southwest NE south-southwestward to eastern NM. These storms will
    initiate in a thermodynamic environment characterized by 8+ C/km low
    and mid-level lapse rates atop low 60s F dewpoints, with up to 3000
    J/kg MLCAPE expected in spots. While tropospheric flow is expected
    to be modest in magnitude and highly meridional and unidirectional
    in nature, the very steep, deep-layer lapse rates will promote large
    hail development with any of the stronger storms that manage to
    sustain themselves. Some modest low-level veering may promote
    transient supercell structures and a 2 inch diameter stone or two
    cannot be completely ruled out. However, given a pronounced sfc-700
    mb dry sub-cloud layer, especially south of the OK Panhandle, along
    with overall weak low-level shear, cold pool mergers and upscale
    growth into linear segments are expected only a few hours after
    convective initiation. A damaging gust threat may ensue with the
    upscale growth. If any storms manage to stay discrete and inflow
    dominant during the early evening hours, the increase in low-level
    flow magnitudes with the development of a nocturnal LLJ may foster a
    brief window of opportunity for a tornado or two before the boundary
    layer stabilizes.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley...
    By early to mid afternoon, temperatures warming into the 70s F, with
    mid to upper 60s F dewpoints will promote 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and
    convective initiation (given the presence of weak to negligible
    convective inhibition). 6-6.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates atop the
    richer low-level moisture will promote tall, skinny CAPE profiles to
    support marginally severe hail with the more organized storms that
    can benefit from the 30+ kts of effective bulk shear across the
    area. A couple damaging gusts also cannot be ruled out.

    ...Portions of central Virginia into central North Carolina...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorm development is expected in
    association with a mid-level impulse traversing the upper ridge axis
    during the afternoon. These storms are developing within a region
    characterized by less than 6 C/km mid-level lapse rates, and weak
    deep-layer tropospheric flow. While a damaging gust or marginally
    severe hailstone cannot be completely ruled out, the latest guidance
    continues to suggest that severe potential remains too low to
    warrant probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...CENTRAL PLAINS...UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
    AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon and
    evening from the western Great Lakes southwestward into the central
    Great Plains and into west Texas. Hail and marginally severe wind
    gusts will be the primary threats.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the Intermountain
    West on Tuesday as a shortwave ridge moves across the Rockies.
    Westerly mid-level flow will be in place across the Great Plains. At
    the surface, a trough should be located from eastern New Mexico
    northeastward into central Kansas. To the east of the surface
    trough, south-southeast winds will result in moisture advection
    across the southern High Plains and central Plains during the day.
    Surface dewpoints should be in the lower to mid 60s F across west
    Texas and west-central Kansas with a dryline located on the western
    edge of the moist airmass. Surface heating and increasing low-level
    convergence near the dryline will likely result in scattered
    convective initiation during the mid to late afternoon.
    Thunderstorms will likely develop and move eastward into the
    stronger instability, where MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 2000
    to 3000 J/kg range by late afternoon.

    In addition to the instability, deep-layer shear is forecast to be
    in the 25 to 30 kt range from west Texas into central Kansas. The
    amount of shear will be aided by some directional shear in the
    boundary-layer and speed shear in the mid-levels. This combined with
    steep 700-500 mb lapse rates near 8.0 C/km will be favorable for
    strong updrafts. Supercell development will be possible, mainly in
    areas that reach peak destabilization in the late afternoon. Hail
    will be likely with any supercell. Multicells, with wind damage
    potential will also be possible, especially if a convective cluster
    or line can become organized.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Plains
    on Tuesday as an associated 60 to 75 mid-level jet translates east-northeastward into the upper Mississippi Valley. At the
    surface, a cold front will advance eastward across the northern
    Plains as a pre-frontal trough moves into the upper Mississippi
    Valley. Thunderstorm development is expected to occur along and near
    the pre-frontal trough during the afternoon from northern and
    western Wisconsin south-southwestward into far southeast Minnesota
    and far northeast Iowa. Ahead of the pre-frontal trough, a corridor
    of moderate instability, with SBCAPE peaking around 1500 J/kg, is
    expected to setup from Iowa into central Wisconsin and upper
    Michigan.

    In addition to the instability, the mid-level jet will create
    moderate deep-layer shear. Forecast soundings near Madison and La
    Crosse by 21Z have south-southwest flow at the surface, with
    westerly flow near 700 mb. 0-6 km shear is forecast to be near 50
    kt. This would be more than sufficient for supercells. An elevated
    mixed layer extending eastward from southern Minnesota into western
    Wisconsin will create steep mid-level lapse rates supportive of
    hail. Marginally severe wind gusts will also be possible. However,
    the severe threat will be conditional upon the amount of
    destabilization and number of storms that form relative to the
    distribution of instability. Although a slight risk may be needed on
    Tuesday across parts of the upper Mississippi Valley, the threat
    appears too conditional at this time for an upgrade from marginal
    risk.

    NEBRASKA AND FAR NORTHERN KANSAS...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE GREAT PLAINS OUTSIDE OF THE ENHANCED RISK AREA AND IN PARTS OF
    THE NORTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are probable on Wednesday across
    parts of the Great Plains, where damaging wind gusts, large hail and
    a couple tornadoes are possible. The greatest potential for severe
    will be in the central Plains. Scattered severe thunderstorms will
    also be possible on Wednesday across parts of the central and
    northern Appalachians.

    ...Central Plains/Northern High Plains...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Rockies
    on Wednesday as a shortwave ridge moves across the central and
    northern Plains. Ahead of the upper-level trough, a surface low will
    deepen across eastern Wyoming during the day. Upslope flow will be
    in place across much of the northern Plains with south southeasterly
    flow located across the central High Plains. Moisture advection will
    take place across the central High Plains on Wednesday with a moist
    axis setting up from western Kansas north-northwestward into western
    Nebraska. Surface dewpoints along the moist axis will likely be in
    the mid to upper 50s F, contributing to moderate instability by mid
    to late afternoon. Convection will form in the higher terrain of
    northeast Colorado and eastern Wyoming, with thunderstorm developing
    and moving eastward into the central High Plains during the late
    afternoon and early evening.

    Moderate deep-layer shear is forecast across much of the central
    High Plains on Wednesday. As the upper-level trough approaches and
    the low-level jet strengthens, deep-layer shear will increase. This
    combined with 700-500 mb lapse rates in the 7.5 to 8 C/km range,
    will make conditions favorable for supercells with large hail.
    Hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible
    with the stronger updrafts. A tornado threat and wind-damage threat
    will likely exist with supercells. Large-scale ascent associated
    with the upper-level trough, is forecast to increase during the
    evening across the central High Plains, resulting in the development
    of a linear MCS. This combined with a strengthening low-level jet
    should provide support for a severe convective line with numerous
    damaging wind gusts. Wind gusts greater than 65 knots will be
    possible during the evening along the leading edge of the line,
    mainly from central Nebraska southward into far northern Kansas,
    where an enhanced risk has been maintained for this outlook.

    Thunderstorms will also develop across parts of the northern High
    Plains during the afternoon. Although instability is forecast to be
    weak from northeast Wyoming into southeast Montana, deep-layer shear
    will be strong due to influence of the upper-level trough. This
    combined with steep mid-level lapse rates will support a marginal
    hail threat. Strong gusty winds may also occur with the multicells
    that can become organized.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    West to southwest mid-level flow will be in place across the
    southern High Plains on Wednesday. At the surface, a moist airmass
    will be located across much of west Texas, where a dryline will form
    during the afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s F to
    the east of the dryline should yield MLCAPE in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg
    range. Increasing low-level convergence along the dryline during the
    mid to late afternoon should result in isolated convective
    initiation. Storms that can initiate despite the warm air aloft will
    likely become supercellular, due to the moderate deep-layer shear.
    This combined with very steep mid-level lapse rates in the 8.0 to
    8.5 C/km range, will support a threat for large hail. Hailstones of
    greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible. The severe
    threat is expected to decrease during the mid evening as a capping
    inversion strengthens across the southern High Plains.

    ...Central and Northern Appalachians...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the Great Lakes
    region on Wednesday with west-northwesterly mid-level flow located
    across much of the northeastern U.S. At the surface, a cold front
    will advance southeastward into the lower Great Lakes region during
    the afternoon. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of the front
    with surface dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s F. Although Lake Erie
    and Lake Ontario will keep the airmass stable just downstream of the
    lakes, moderate instability is forecast to develop in much of New
    York and Pennsylvania by midday. Thunderstorms will develop along
    the western edge of the moderate instability and move eastward into
    central New York and northern Pennsylvania during the afternoon.

    NAM Forecast soundings along this corridor at 21Z/Wednesday show
    moderate deep-layer shear with very steep lapse rates in the
    boundary layer. This will be favorable for damaging wind gusts with
    supercells and organized multicell line segments. Supercells with
    large hail will also be possible, mainly with discrete storms that
    form further east in the stronger instability. A tornado threat may
    also develop during the mid to late afternoon. The greatest
    potential for tornadoes is forecast across eastern New York and in
    western New England, where 850 mb winds are forecast to be stronger
    and 0-3 km storm relative helicities are forecast to be in the 250
    to 350 m2/s2 range during the afternoon.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE PARTS OF THE
    OZARKS AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely on Thursday and Thursday
    night from parts of the southern and central Great Plains into the
    Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley. Very large hail, significant
    severe wind gusts, and several tornadoes are possible.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    An upper-level trough will move across the central High Plains on
    Thursday as west-southwesterly mid-level flow remains in place
    across much of the southern and central Plains. At the surface, a
    low will move northeastward across the mid Missouri Valley as a
    trailing cold front advances southeastward across the central
    Plains. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms may develop ahead of the
    front during the morning across southern Kansas, in response to the
    low-level jet. To the south of this convection across much of the
    southern Plains, the airmass will be moist and unstable. Moderate
    instability is expected to develop by midday across much of Oklahoma
    and southeast Kasnas. A sharp gradient of instability may be present
    during the early afternoon across far southern Kansas or far
    northern Oklahoma related to an outflow boundary associated with the
    morning convective cluster. Convection should gradually increase
    along the outflow boundary, moving eastward across northeast
    Oklahoma, far southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri during the
    afternoon.

    In addition to moderate instability, NAM forecast soundings by
    21Z/Thursday to the north of Tulsa to near Springfield have 0-6 km
    shear in the 40 to 45 kt range. This will support supercell
    development, mainly with cells that remain discrete or with storms
    at the southern end of short line-segments that develop. 0-3 km
    storm relative helicities are forecast to increase to about 200
    m2/s2 across northeast Oklahoma during the late afternoon suggesting
    that a tornado threat will be possible. Large hail and wind damage
    will also be likely with supercells. Damaging wind gusts of greater
    than 65 knot could occur, especially if a cold pool can organize.

    Further southwest into west Texas and western Oklahoma, the southern
    part of an upper-level trough will move across the southern High
    Plains on Thursday. A surface trough is expected to deepen across
    west Texas as a cold front advances southward into the Texas
    Panhandle. Moderate instability should be in place by afternoon
    along and south of the front across much of the southern High
    Plains. A dryline will develop on the western edge of the moderate
    instability with convective initiation taking place just to the east
    of the dryline during the mid to late afternoon. These storms should
    move eastward and affect parts of the Caprock, Low Rolling Plains
    and western Oklahoma during the late afternoon and early evening.
    MLCAPE is forecast to be in the 2500 to 3500 J/Kg range with 0-6 km
    shear between 40 and 50 kt. This will be favorable for supercells
    with large hail. The instability and mid-level lapse rates exceeding
    8.5 C/Km will make hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter
    possible. An isolated tornado and wind-damage threat should
    accompany supercells during the late afternoon and early evening.

    ...Ozarks/Mid Mississippi Valley...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the central Plains
    on Thursday as west to southwest mid-level flow remains in place
    across the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a low
    will move eastward across Iowa as a trailing cold front advances
    southeastward across the central Plains and mid Missouri Valley. A
    morning MCS is expected to track eastward across southern Iowa and
    northern Missouri early in the period, moving southeastward across
    central and southern Illinois during the late morning and early
    afternoon. This MCS could be associated with damaging wind gusts and
    large hail. An outflow boundary is expected to push southward from
    the convective complex into north-central Missouri by midday, along
    which additional convective development is expected during the
    afternoon. To the south of this outflow boundary, a moist and
    unstable airmass will be in place across southern and central
    Missouri. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop in this
    unstable airmass during the afternoon, with a second MCS likely
    organizing and moving southeastward across the Ozarks and mid
    Mississippi Valley during the evening.

    NAM forecast soundings by 21Z across in southern and central
    Missouri have MLCAPE in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg with some directional
    shear in the low-levels and about 50 kt of westerly flow at 500 mb.
    This will create 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50 Kt range supporting
    supercell development. A mixed mode will be likely as cells rapidly
    increase in coverage during the late afternoon. Short organized line
    segments should be capable of damaging wind gusts, especially in
    areas where low-level lapse rates become the steepest. A linear MCS
    is forecast to move east-southeastward across the region during the
    early evening. Damaging wind gusts of greater than 65 knots will be
    possible along the leading edge of this line. Severe storms will
    also be possible during the day further north across northeast
    Missouri, southeast Iowa and in much of Illinois, but instability
    will not be as strong which should keep any severe threat a bit more
    isolated.

    Due to uncertainty associated with the placement of the outflow
    boundary from the morning MCS, significant changes to the Enhanced
    Risk area will not be made at this time. The slight risk area has
    been adjusted northward to account for new models runs that suggest
    moderate instability will be possible as far north as eastern Iowa
    and far northwest Illinois. The 5 percent tornado contour has been
    extended northward across parts of the mid Mississippi Valley where
    low-level shear will become maximized in the late afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe thunderstorms with large hail and wind
    damage are possible Friday in southwest Texas and southeast New
    Mexico. Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms associated
    with wind damage are also possible over parts of the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    A shortwave ridge will move eastward into the Rockies on Friday as west-northwesterly mid-level flow remains over much of the southern
    and central Plains. At the surface, upslope east-southeasterly flow
    will be in place across much of the southern Plains. As a result, a
    moist and unstable airmass will be pushed back westward into far
    west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. A sharply defined dryline
    will develop on the western edge of the moist airmass from the Davis
    Mountains extending northward into the Sacramento Mountains of
    southeast New Mexico. Surface dewpoints to the east of the dryline
    will be in the lower to mid 60s F, with moderate to strong
    instability developing by afternoon. To the east of the dryline,
    MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg. Isolated to
    widely scattered thunderstorms are expected to form to the east of
    the dryline with the storms move eastward into the southern High
    Plains during the late afternoon and early evening.

    In spite of the upper-level ridge, the environment across southeast
    New Mexico and far west Texas will be favorable for severe storms.
    In addition to the strong instability, 0-6 km shear is forecast to
    be near 50 kt, mainly due to directional shear in the low-levels and
    strong speed shear in the mid-levels. 700 to 500 mb lapse rates are
    forecasts to be near 8.0 C/Km, which will be favorable for
    supercells with large hail. A couple of supercells are expected to
    develop across the southern High Plains during the late afternoon.
    These storms should also be capable of producing damaging wind
    gusts. Due to the presence of the upper-level ridge, the severe
    threat is expected to decrease by mid to late evening as the capping
    inversion becomes re-established in the southern High Plains.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...
    A positively-tilted upper-level trough will move across the mid
    Mississippi Valley on Friday as west-southwesterly mid-level flow
    remains over much of the eastern U.S. At the surface, a low will
    move eastward from the central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic
    during the day. To the southeast of the surface, low, a sharply
    defined warm front is forecast across central and eastern Virginia. Surface-based convective development is expected near the warm front
    during the early to mid afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the mid 60s
    F near and to the south of the warm front coupled with surface
    heating should result in the development of a pocket of moderate
    instability by midday. Forecast soundings at 21Z on Friday in
    south-central Virginia within this pocket of instability, have
    MLCAPE peaking around 1500 J/kg and 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35 kt
    range. Winds in the boundary layer are veered to the southwest and
    speed shear is present mostly in the mid-levels. 0-3 km lapse rates
    are forecast to be very steep, approaching 8.0 C/km. This
    environment will be favorable for isolated damaging wind gusts with
    the stronger multicell line segments. The severe threat will be
    fairly confined along and just to the south of the warm front, where instability and low-level convergence will be the strongest.

    ...Northern High Plains...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Rockies
    on Friday as mid-level flow remains southwesterly across much of the
    northern High Plains. At the surface, a narrow corridor of maximized
    low-level moisture will be located from eastern Colorado
    north-northwestward into far southeast Montana. Weak instability is
    forecast to develop along this corridor as surface temperatures peak
    in the mid to late afternoon. Convection will likely initiate in the
    higher terrain of northeast Wyoming and southern Montana during the
    afternoon, with thunderstorms moving eastward into the northern High
    Plains. In spite of the weak instability, lapse rates will be very
    steep. 0-3 km lapse rates along the moist axis are forecast to
    approach 9.0 C/km by 21Z/Friday with 700-500 mb lapse rates being
    near 8.0 C/Km. This will be favorable for an isolated severe threat.
    Hail and marginally severe wind gusts will be possible, especially
    if a rotating storm or two can form and persist during the late
    afternoon and early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST COLORADO
    AND NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and
    severe gusts are possible Saturday for parts of southeastern
    Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.

    ...Central and southern High Plains...
    A weak mid-level disturbance is forecast to crest a flattened
    mid-level ridge over the southern High Plains on Saturday. Moist east-southeasterly upslope flow will maintain a fetch of
    appreciable moisture into southwest TX and southeast NM, with the
    northern periphery of the ribbon of moisture extending into eastern
    CO. A plume of steep mid-level lapse rates coupled with strong
    heating near the higher terrain, will favor diurnal storm
    development with storm coverage highest over southern CO and
    northeast NM. Strong to severe multicells and perhaps a supercell
    or two, will lend a risk for large hail and severe gusts. This
    activity will likely form near the terrain-preferred areas and move east-southeast into the High Plains during the late
    afternoon/evening.

    ...Northeast NC...
    A mid-level trough over the OH Valley will slowly move eastward
    during the period. A surface low will weaken during the day as it
    moves southeast from the VA/NC border to east of the Carolinas as a
    cold front pushes southeast. Forecast soundings show moderate
    destabilization over the coastal plain with upper 60s F dewpoints
    and 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. A few strong to severe storms may be
    capable of an isolated wind damage threat.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    OH VALLEY THROUGH THE MID-SOUTH AND OVER A PORTION OF THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms capable of large hail and downburst winds are
    possible in eastern New Mexico and west through south Texas
    Wednesday. Isolated strong to severe gusts are also possible from
    the Tennessee Valley into southern portions of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper troughing is forecast to move eastward from the Plains
    through the MS Valley on Wednesday. A shortwave trough embedded
    within this larger upper troughing is expected to move into the Mid
    MS Valley, accompanied by modestly enhanced flow aloft. A surface
    low attendant to this shortwave will likely be centered near the
    confluence of the MS and OH Rivers early Wednesday, before moving
    gradually northeastward across the Lower OH Valley. As this surface
    low moves northeast, an associated cold front will sweep southeast
    through the Mid MS Valley, Mid-South, and western TN Valley.

    Western portion of this frontal boundary is forecast to begin the
    period arcing from the Arklatex into the TX Hill Country and back
    through the TX South Plains. Definition of this front is expected to
    weaken throughout the day amid low-level moisture advection and a
    sharpening lee trough across the southern High Plains.

    ...Mid-South into the Lower/Middle OH Valley...
    Numerous showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across the
    region at the beginning of the period early Wednesday morning. These
    showers and thunderstorms should gradually move northeastward while
    weakening as the warm conveyor responsible for their development
    also shifts northeastward. Additional storms are then anticipated
    during the evening as the cold front mentioned in synopsis interacts
    with the moist and moderately unstable air mass in place across the
    region. Vertical shear will be modest as well, and generally
    multicellular mode is anticipated. Even so, a few more organized
    updrafts are possible, with an attendant threat for severe weather.
    Damaging downburst winds are the primary threat, but a brief tornado
    is also possible.

    ...Southern High Plains through the TX Hill Country...
    Two areas within the region appear to favor thunderstorm
    development, along the lee trough across the southern High Plains as
    well as along and south of the stalled frontal boundary from the TX
    Hill Country south into South TX.

    Modest low-level thermodynamic conditions (i.e. surface temperatures
    in mid/upper 70s and surface dewpoints in the low/mid 50s) are
    anticipated across the southern High Plains. However, steep lapse
    rates atop these low-level conditions will still result in moderate
    buoyancy. This buoyancy coupled modest vertical shear may result in
    a few stronger storms capable of damaging wind gusts and isolated
    hail.

    Numerous showers and thunderstorms are anticipated in the vicinity
    of the stalled front over the TX Hill Country. Frontal position may
    be augmented by antecedent storms, but the general expectation is
    for late morning/early afternoon development near the front as the
    air mass destabilizes. Weak vertical shear will promote mostly
    multicells, but an isolated storm or two may produce damaging wind
    gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible over a portion of the Middle
    Atlantic Thursday with locally strong to damaging gusts the primary
    threat. Other strong to severe storms with locally strong to
    damaging wind gusts will be possible over a portion of the Tennessee
    and Ohio Valleys as well as eastern Oregon.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough will move from portions of the Mid-South into the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday. A weak frontal boundary will push through
    the Ohio Valley into the Appalachians. Ahead of the boundary,
    moisture return is expected to continue through the day into the
    Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast. In the Pacific Northwest
    into the northern Rockies, a shortwave trough will impact the region
    by late afternoon into the evening.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...
    Widely-scattered to scattered convection is expected to develop both
    ahead of the weak boundary and within areas of pre-frontal
    confluence from northern Virginia into southeastern New York. There
    remain uncertainties as to where the greatest boundary layer
    destabilization will occur given cloud cover within the warm
    conveyor belt as well as warm advection precipitation in North Carolina/southern Virginia. Forecast soundings indicate a greater
    potential for cloud breaks from northern Virginia into southeastern
    New York. This area will also see a modest increase in 850 mb flow
    by afternoon/evening which will increase the threat for damaging
    gusts and perhaps an isolated tornado. Father north into eastern New York/Vermont, there is less certainty on the degree of
    destabilization, but relatively strong mid-level forcing should
    promote scattered storms with some attendant threat for wind damage.
    Mid-level lapse rates will not be overly steep, but where greater
    buoyancy develops isolated large hail will be possible.

    ...Tennessee Valley into Ohio Valley...
    Ongoing clouds and precipitation early in the period will tend to
    keep buoyancy modest across the region. Portions of the Mid-South
    may see relatively greater clearing/destabilization during the day.
    1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 35-40 kts of effective shear will promote
    marginally organized storms along the weak surface boundary.
    Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat.

    ...Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies...
    The mid-level trough and attendant cold front will be the focus for
    isolated to possibly widely scattered convection from eastern Oregon
    into the Idaho Panhandle. Steep lapse rates are expected both at the
    surface and aloft. Storms will be capable of damaging wind gusts and
    large hail.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF THE CAROLINAS...THE MID-ATLANTIC...AND CENTRAL/EASTERN MONTANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms are possible across a portion of Montana on
    Friday with large hail and damaging gusts possible. Other strong to
    severe storms may occur from the central and eastern Carolinas into
    a portion of the Middle Atlantic. Damaging winds will be the primary
    threat with these storms.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will be along the Appalachians early in
    the period and will move into the Mid-Atlantic by early afternoon. A
    weak cold front will move into the Northeast southwestward into the
    Carolinas and generally stall/weaken with time. In the Northwest, a
    strong trough will move into Washington and Oregon with modest
    height falls across the northern Rockies. An attendant cold front
    will move into Idaho/Montana.

    ...Montana...
    Storms are expected to develop within the higher terrain of
    southwestern Montana as modest height falls occur during the
    afternoon. These initial storms are likely to be supercellular given
    40-45 kts of effective shear. With at least some mid/high cloud
    cover moving in from the southwest, the amount of buoyancy is not
    certain, but around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE is plausible. Forecast
    soundings show steep lapse rates at low and mid levels. Large hail
    and damaging wind gusts will be possible. Some consideration was
    given to increasing hail probabilities with these initial
    supercells, but there is enough question as to storm converge and
    intensity that an upgrade to 15% will be withheld. As storms move
    east towards the plains, storms are likely to become more outflow
    dominant as they encounter greater low-level temperature/dewpoints
    spreads and weak low-level shear. The primary threat will transition
    to damaging winds. A more organized cold-pool-driven wind threat is
    uncertain given the weak low-level shear.

    ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic...
    Some destabilization is possible as cloud cover and precipitation
    along the warm conveyor moves offshore. Storms are expected to
    develop along a relatively weak boundary approaching the region.
    Though the trough axis will exit the region around midday, enough
    lingering mid-level flow will promote 30-40 kts of effective shear.
    The degree of destabilization remains in question, but 1000-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE appears probable. With only modest shear and mid-level
    lapse rates, the primary severe threat with these storms will likely
    be damaging wind gusts.

    ...Southern New England...
    A few storms may develop by afternoon underneath the upper-level
    trough and along the front. Buoyancy is not expected to be large on
    account of cloud cover. Even if greater destabilization is able to
    occur, an unfavorable overlap with weak shear is expected as
    stronger flow will have moved eastward by the afternoon. The window
    in time and space for a strong gust or two will be relatively
    limited.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF
    THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms will be possible across a portion of the northern
    Plains and northern New England Saturday.

    ...Northern Plains...

    Shortwave ridging will prevail much of the day across the northern
    High Plains. However, an upstream shortwave trough will approach
    this region from the west during the evening accompanied by a cold
    front. Low-level moisture will remain modest in the pre-frontal warm
    sector with surface dewpoints generally from the upper 40s to low
    50s F. However, strong diabatic heating will contribute to deeply
    mixed boundary layers with steep lapse rates supporting 1000-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE. Deeper forcing for ascent will be limited during the
    day, given proximity to upper ridge. However, a pre-frontal trough,
    the mountains of northern WY and southern MT as well as the Black
    Hills of SD could serve as foci for a few storms to develop as the
    boundary layer destabilizes during the afternoon. This activity will
    spread northeast within the frontal zone during the evening posing a
    threat for mainly damaging wind and some hail through eastern MT and
    western through northern ND.

    ...Northern New England...

    Low-amplitude shortwave trough currently over southern Saskatchewan
    should reach northern New England Saturday afternoon accompanied by
    a belt of strengthening deep-layer winds. Deeper forcing for ascent accompanying this feature and presence of modest instability with
    800-1200 J/kg MUCAPE may support development of a few thunderstorms
    by mid to late afternoon. Activity will spread southeast during the
    evening within the evolving northwest flow regime. It now appears
    that the boundary layer will become sufficiently unstable during the
    afternoon into early evening to support surface-based storms, with
    30-40 kt effective bulk shear promoting organized structures
    including bowing segments and a few supercells. Locally strong to
    damaging gusts should be the main threat, though some hail and a
    tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley through Northern Great Lakes...

    A stalled front should reside from northern MN through upper MI
    Saturday where the atmosphere will likely become moderately
    unstable. This weak boundary may begin to lift north as a warm front
    later in the day. While convergence is expected to remain weak along
    this feature, there is some chance that a few storms could develop
    with afternoon peak heating. Should storms develop, they may become
    capable of producing a few instances of locally strong wind gusts
    and hail.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN
    THROUGH CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the northern High
    Plains Tuesday, with the greatest risk likely during the afternoon
    and evening. Very large hail, damaging wind, and a couple tornadoes
    will be possible. A few storms with locally strong gusts will also
    be possible from western portions of the Tennessee Valley into the
    middle Mississippi Valley.

    ...Northern High Plains...

    Shortwave trough currently approaching southern CA will deamplify as
    it ejects quickly north northeast Tuesday in response to an
    amplifying upstream synoptic trough. This impulse will begin to
    impact the northern High Plains by late afternoon or early evening
    Tuesday. A surface low is forecast to develop over northeast
    WY/southeast MT in response to the approaching shortwave trough,
    with a warm front extending eastward from the low through ND during
    day. A dryline will extend southward from the low through the
    central High Plains. Boundary layer dewpoints generally from the
    upper 50s to low 60s F will advect northward through the warm sector
    beneath steep lapse rates, supporting strong instability with
    2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE. Storms will likely develop along and north of
    the warm front during the late afternoon and evening as the
    low-level jet and deeper forcing for ascent increases in response to
    the approaching shortwave trough. High based storms may also develop
    over the higher terrain of southern MT and intensify as they move
    north and interact with the warm front. Vertical wind shear will
    strengthen to 40-50 kt with the approach of the impulse supporting
    initial supercell storm modes capable of very large hail and
    damaging wind. A couple of tornadoes are also possible, especially
    with storms interacting with the warm front before becoming elevated
    deeper onto the cooler side of this boundary. An upgrade to ENH risk
    might be warranted for a portion of this region in day 1 updates.

    Farther south from western SD into western NE, additional storms
    will likely develop along the dryline with both supercell and
    multicells expected before storms evolve into a linear MCS. Damaging
    wind and large hail will be the primary threat through the evening.


    ...Tennessee and lower Mississippi Valley regions...

    Shortwave trough embedded within weak winds aloft will drift slowly
    east into the mid MS and western TN Valley regions Tuesday. A very
    moist boundary layer will remain in place, but there still remains
    some uncertainty regarding where corridors of best destabilization
    will occur given potential impacts of any ongoing thunderstorms.
    Nevertheless, some cloud breaks and pockets of heating / low-level destabilization are expected, and storms may intensify along
    residual outflow boundaries during the day. Isolated damaging wind
    will be the main threat from mid afternoon into the early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
    NORTH-CENTRAL MT...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of central
    and western Montana on Wednesday. A severe storm or two may also
    develop late Wednesday afternoon along the dryline in west Texas.
    Hail and strong wind gusts will be the primary concerns in both
    areas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper ridging is forecast to be in place from northern Mexico
    northeastward through the central Plains into the Upper Midwest
    early Wednesday. A weak embedded upper low will likely exist on the northeastern periphery of this upper ridge over the mid MS Valley.
    Western periphery of the ridge will be characterized by moderate
    southwesterly flow aloft ahead of western CONUS upper troughing.
    Shortwave trough embedded within this western CONUS upper troughing
    is expected to move through northern/central CA, reaching the
    western Great Basin by early Thursday morning. As it does, strong
    southwesterly flow aloft will increase from the northern Rockies
    southward through much of the Great Basin.

    A moist air mass will be in place east of the Rockies, contributing
    to widespread thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of the upper low
    over much of the OH and TN Valleys. Additionally, convectively
    enhanced vorticity maximum resulting from antecedent thunderstorms
    across the Arklatex on Tuesday/Tuesday night is forecast to move
    eastward through the Lower MS Valley, likely providing the impetus
    for widespread showers and thunderstorms across the Lower MS Valley
    and much of the Southeast.

    ...MT...
    A surface low is expected to move northeastward from eastern MT
    through ND from late Tuesday night through early Wednesday
    afternoon. An attendant cold front will push southward/southeastward
    through much of the northern High Plains. However, post-frontal
    upslope flow is still expected to advect low-level moisture back
    northwestward through the northern High Plains during the afternoon. Additionally, development of a second surface low is anticipated
    across southeast MT Wednesday evening, strengthening the easterly
    low-level across much of northern MT and contributing to further
    moisture advection. Consequently, a relatively moist and unstable
    air mass will likely be in place ahead of storms (triggered by the
    approaching shortwave trough) moving off the higher terrain
    Wednesday evening. These thermodynamic conditions coupled with
    strong vertical shear will support supercells capable of large hail
    and strong wind gusts. A low-probability tornado potential exists
    near HVR and vicinity with any organized storms that occur before
    03Z.

    ...Far West TX into Southwest OK...
    Strong instability (i.e. 3000+ J/kg of MLCAPE) is forecast to
    develop along the dryline during the afternoon. Convective
    inhibition will likely suppress deep convection across much of the
    region but a few storms may take root in areas where low-level
    convergence is maximized. A deeply mixed boundary layer and weak
    flow suggests any storms that do develop would be slow moving and
    outflow dominant. Even so, a few storms could become strong enough
    to produce large hail and/or strong wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS
    OF THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND NORTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are likely Thursday afternoon and evening
    over portions of the northern High Plains and northern Plains. All
    severe hazards are possible, including very large hail, 70+ mph
    wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper ridging is forecast to be in place from northern Mexico north-northeastward across the Great Plains early Thursday morning.
    This upper ridging is expected to then dampen throughout the day as
    a strong shortwave trough, initially over the western Great Basin,
    progresses northeastward through the northern/central Rockies and
    eventually through the northern High Plains. This shortwave will
    likely become increasingly negatively tilted throughout this
    progression while the stronger mid-level flow attendant to the
    system also spreading into the northern High Plains/northern Plains.
    Strong buoyancy will exist within the air mass over the northern
    High Plains/northern Plains ahead of this shortwave, contributing to
    the risk for severe thunderstorms (discussed in more detail below).

    Farther east, broad but weak upper troughing will likely persist as
    a weak embedded upper low drifts slowly eastward across the TN and
    middle OH Valleys. The air mass in vicinity and downstream of this
    upper low will be moist and at least marginally unstable,
    contributing to the potential for numerous thunderstorms across much
    of the OH and TV Valleys, northern portions of the Southeast, and
    much of the Mid-Atlantic.

    Elsewhere, an unstable air mass may interact with an east-west
    oriented boundary across MN and WI east of the upper ridge, with a
    few strong storms possible.

    ...Northern High Plains into the Northern/Central Plains...
    Ample low-level moisture is expected to be in place early Thursday
    morning ahead of the shortwave trough (and any associated surface
    features) mentioned in the synopsis. Deep mixing is anticipated
    throughout the day, but persistent and strong low-level moisture
    advection should keep dewpoints in the 60s. Less mixing along the
    warm front could lead to a corridor of upper 60s/low 70s dewpoints
    central ND into far northeast MT by Thursday afternoon.

    Surface low is forecast to deepen over southeast MT. Low-level
    convergence along the lee trough extending southward from this low
    as well as near the low itself is expected to result in convective
    initiation once the air mass destabilizes during the late afternoon. Large-scale ascent will also be increasing during this time, aiding
    this convective initiation. The deeply mixed, strongly unstable, and
    moderately sheared environment will support initial supercells
    capable of all severe hazards, including giant hail and strong wind
    gusts. Backed low-level winds in vicinity of the surface low may
    result in a locally greater tornado threat near the MT/ND/SD border intersection.

    Upscale growth into one or more convective lines is anticipated soon
    after the initially discrete mode. The downstream air mass across
    the northern and central Plains will be very supportive of continued
    eastward progression, with severe wind gusts possible throughout the
    evening across much of ND, SD, and NE.

    ...East-Central MN into Northern WI and western Upper MI...
    Thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon along a
    weak surface boundary extended across the region. Mid to upper 60s F
    dewpoints will result in ample instability, which may support a few
    strong updrafts during near peak heating. Given the abundant
    moisture in place, a few water-loaded downbursts could occur with
    the strongest storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHWEST
    IOWA ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN KANSAS AND INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur Friday from southwest Iowa
    across much of eastern Kansas and into northern Oklahoma.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Upper ridging is forecast to extend from northern Mexico
    northeastward through the Upper Midwest early Friday morning. A
    compact, negatively titled shortwave trough will move across ND into
    southern Manitoba along the northwestern periphery of the upper
    ridging, contributing to some modest dampening. This shortwave is
    expected to force the development of a well-organized convective
    line over the northern Plains late Thursday evening.

    This line is then forecast to progress eastward/southeastward
    overnight. Its location early Friday morning will depend on the
    speed of its forward progression overnight Thursday, which is tied
    to numerous low-predictability factors regulating MCS maintenance
    (including rear-inflow jet strength and cold pool/vertical shear
    balance). Given this low predictability, 5-percent severe
    probabilities will be maintained and expanded for this outlook.
    However, the very moist and unstable air mass expected to be in
    place ahead of the outflow will support strong updrafts, and the
    potential for large hail and damaging wind gusts. As such, upgrades
    will likely be needed in future outlooks once the location of the
    storm outflow becomes more certain.

    ...Middle/Upper OH and TN Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic and
    Southeast...
    A broad and relatively weak shortwave trough is also expected to
    move from the middle OH Valley eastward/southeastward into the
    Mid-Atlantic. The air mass in the vicinity and downstream of this
    shortwave will be very moist and modestly buoyancy, resulting
    widespread thunderstorm development across from the middle/upper OH
    and TN Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic and much of the Southeast. Weak
    shear will likely preclude much updraft organization, resulting in a predominately multicellular, outflow-dominant storm mode. Even so,
    some forward-propagating line segments may exist for a
    short-duration. Additionally, the very moist air mass will
    contribute to the risk of water-loaded downbursts. The
    isolated/brief nature of these threats and their reliance on more
    mesoscale processes (such as storm mergers and outflow boundaries)
    for development precludes adding severe probabilities with this
    outlook. However, one or more small areas may be needed in later
    outlooks.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDWEST AND SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe storms may occur Sunday into Sunday
    night across parts of the Midwest into the Great Lakes and Ohio
    Valley. Large hail, severe/damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes
    all appear possible.

    ...Midwest to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley...
    A large-scale upper trough should amplify while moving eastward
    across the north-central CONUS and central Canada on Sunday. An
    embedded shortwave trough with enhanced mid-level westerly flow is
    forecast to move east-southeastward from the northern Plains across
    the Upper Midwest and to the Great Lakes by Sunday night. At the
    surface, a weak low should develop northeastward from the
    central/northern Plains towards the Upper Midwest through the day.
    There is uncertainty with possible secondary surface low formation
    and subsequent deepening over Lower MI and vicinity Sunday night.
    Regardless, a cold front will likely sweep southeastward across the
    Midwest, Great Lakes, and OH Valley through the period. A warm front
    should also develop northward in tandem with the surface low.

    Mainly elevated storms aided by low-level warm/moist advection may
    be ongoing at the start of the period Sunday morning across IA and
    vicinity. Although this activity may pose an isolated threat for
    hail and/or gusty winds, a more substantial severe threat is
    expected to develop by Sunday afternoon along and ahead of the cold
    front. Modestly steepened mid-level lapse rates emanating from the
    Plains should overspread parts of the Midwest and surface warm
    sector. Rich low-level moisture is also expected to be in place
    ahead of the cold front. As diurnal heating occurs, at least
    1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop across the warm sector.
    Strengthening mid-level westerly flow ahead of the approaching
    shortwave trough will likely foster 35-50 kt of effective bulk
    shear.

    Organized severe storms should develop along and ahead of the cold
    front through the afternoon, and a mix of supercells and
    multicells/clusters appears possible. It remains unclear whether
    storms will reintensify Sunday afternoon ahead of the decayed
    morning convection and possible related MCV that may develop. If
    they do, then a focused area of severe risk may exist across
    northern IL into southern Lower MI with a small bowing cluster.
    Regardless, large hail should be the primary threat with initial
    semi-discrete activity Sunday afternoon. Severe/damaging winds will
    probably become more of a concern as storms grow upscale into
    multiple clusters along the front Sunday evening/night. Given the
    degree of instability forecast, at least an isolated threat for
    severe wind gusts may persist across parts of the central Plains to
    the OH Valley overnight. Finally, a risk for a few tornadoes may
    exist along/south of the warm front as a southwesterly low-level jet
    providing enhanced 0-1 km shear shifts eastward across the Midwest
    into the southern Great Lakes and OH Valley regions through Sunday
    night.

    ...Southeast...
    Some form of a tropical cyclone should continue moving
    east-northeastward across the Southeast on Sunday. Even though this
    system will be inland and is expected to remain rather weak per
    latest NHC forecast, 45-50+ kt winds around 850 mb should still be
    present in the eastern half of the cyclone's circulation. Related
    strong low-level shear combined with modest daytime heating will
    probably continue to support an isolated severe threat from parts of
    GA into the Carolinas through the period. Given the strength of the
    low-level flow forecast, brief tornadoes and occasional strong/gusty
    winds appear possible with any low-topped storms that can develop.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS
    OF SOUTHEAST IA...NORTHERN IL...NORTHWEST IN...AND FAR SOUTHWEST
    LOWER MI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms may occur Sunday into Sunday night across
    parts of the Midwest into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Large
    hail, severe/damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes all appear
    possible.

    ...Mid MO/Mid MS Valleys to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley...
    Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing early Sunday
    morning across the Mid MO Valley, remnant from evening/overnight
    activity on Saturday. Guidance is in good agreement that this
    cluster to continue northeastward throughout the day, although the
    strength of the storms within this cluster as well as the speed of
    its eastward progression are some what uncertain. Current
    expectation is for storms within the cluster to gradually intensify
    throughout the day, with some large hail and damaging wind gusts
    occasionally possible, particularly as it moves across southern
    Lower MI.

    Outflow boundary left over from this cluster as well as the
    approaching cold front will then become the main foci for convective
    initiation during the evening across the Mid MS Valley. Moderate to
    strong instability is anticipated in the vicinity of these
    boundaries. Storms developing along the remnant outflow boundary
    will likely have an initially cellular mode. Moderate mid-level
    westerly flow will also be in place across the region, contributing
    to moderate vertical shear and the potential for a few supercells.
    Steep low-level lapse rates will likely promote an outflow-dominant
    storm mode, with storms quickly transitioning to bowing line
    segments. Storm outflows may eventually amalgamate into a more
    coherent MCS structure, but confidence in organized MCS development
    is currently low.

    Primary threat with initial development will be large to very large
    hail. Low-level shear appears strong enough to support a few
    tornadoes if storms can remain discrete. After the initially
    discrete mode, the transition to line segments will result in
    damaging wind gusts becoming the main threat.

    ...Central Plains/Central High Plains...
    Two scenarios will contribute to isolated severe thunderstorms
    across the region on Sunday. The first is late afternoon
    thunderstorm development in the vicinity of the Palmer Divide
    southward to the lee of the Sangre De Cristo mountains in northeast
    NM. In this area, high based storms moving off the high terrain may
    contribute to isolated damaging wind gusts.

    The second scenario is late evening/overnight thunderstorms expected
    to develop in the wake of the surface cold front with the modest
    ascent and mid-level moisture ahead of an approaching shortwave
    trough. These storms will likely be based around 700 mb, but enough
    vertical shear will exists between 700mb and the equilibrium level
    for a few supercells.

    ...GA/NC/SC..
    Some form of a tropical cyclone should continue moving
    east-northeastward across the Southeast on Sunday. Even though this
    system will be inland, 45-50+ kt winds around 850 mb should still be
    present in the eastern half of the cyclone's circulation. Related
    strong low-level shear combined with modest daytime heating will
    probably continue to support an isolated severe threat from parts of
    GA into the Carolinas through the period. Given the strength of the
    low-level flow forecast, brief tornadoes and occasional strong/gusty
    winds appear possible with any low-topped storms that can develop.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHEAST INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC AND OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms should occur Monday from
    parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic southwestward into the Ohio
    Valley. Damaging wind gusts, severe hail, and perhaps a couple of
    tornadoes all appear possible.

    ...Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic and the Ohio Valley...
    A large-scale upper trough should continue to amplify while it moves
    eastward across much of the central/eastern CONUS on Monday. A belt
    of 40-60 kt southwesterly mid-level winds should accompany this
    upper trough. A surface low initially over the northern Great Lakes
    is forecast to develop northeastward into southern Ontario and
    Quebec through the day. A trailing cold front should sweep generally east-southeastward across much of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and
    OH Valley through the period.

    Low-level convergence along the cold front and a pre-frontal trough
    should encourage convective development across these regions by
    early Monday afternoon as ascent preceding the upper trough
    overspreads the warm sector. A warm and moist low-level airmass is
    expected to be in place, with surface dewpoints generally in the
    upper 60s to low 70s. The development of around 1000-2000 J/kg of
    MLCAPE appears probable by peak afternoon heating, with locally
    higher values possible. Even though the strongest mid-level flow
    associated with the upper trough may tend to lag the cold front
    slightly, there will still be enough strengthening of the wind
    profile with height to support about 30-40 kt of effective bulk
    shear.

    Accordingly, a mix of multicells and supercells appears possible
    with initial development, with the supercell potential perhaps
    maximized with northward extent into parts of NY/VT/NH/ME where the
    deep-layer shear should be strongest. This area appears to have the
    best potential for isolated severe hail given the more favorable
    storm mode and cooler temperatures aloft. A couple tornadoes also
    appear possible across this region as 100-200 m2/s2 of 0-1 km SRH
    should exist as a 35-45 kt south-southwesterly jet shifts
    northeastward across the Northeast through the day. With time, one
    or more squall lines should progress eastward and pose mainly a
    damaging wind threat across much of the interior Northeast and
    Mid-Atlantic. Current expectations are for this convection to
    gradually weaken Monday evening/night as it approaches the coast due
    to the loss of daytime heating and increasing convective inhibition.


    ...Tennessee Valley into the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southern
    Plains...
    Scattered to numerous storms will likely develop along and ahead of
    the south-southeastward moving cold front during the day. Mid-level
    flow is forecast to be somewhat weaker from the TN Valley into the
    lower MS Valley and southern Plains. But, it should still be
    sufficient to support modest deep-layer shear and some convective
    organization. Boundary-layer instability should generally be
    stronger across these regions compared to locations farther to the
    northeast. A mainly linear mode is expected, and strong to damaging
    wind gusts should be the main threat as clusters of storms move south-southeastward through at least the early evening before
    weakening. This isolated severe threat may persist into Monday night
    across parts of TX, as a greater reservoir of instability will
    likely exist over this region.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER OH
    VALLEY INTO THE NORTHEAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms should occur Monday from
    parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic southwestward into the Ohio
    Valley. Damaging wind gusts, severe hail, and perhaps a couple of
    tornadoes all appear possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper troughing is forecast to amplify as it moves eastward from the northern/central Plains through the Upper/Mid MS Valley and into the
    Upper Great Lakes and Middle OH Valley. Enhanced mid-level flow
    through the base of this upper trough will gradually strengthen
    throughout the day, while also spreading eastward/southeastward into
    more of OK/Arklatex, the OH Valley, and Lower Great Lakes.

    At the surface, a low initially over the Upper Great Lakes region is
    expected to deepen/mature as it ejects quickly northeastward into
    Quebec. Expansive cold front attendant to this low will sweep eastward/southeastward across the southern Plains, mid MS Valley, OH
    Valley, and much of the Northeast. This cold front will likely
    extend from southern New England southwestward along the central
    Appalachians and then back more west-southwestward through the Lower
    MS Valley into TX Hill Country early Tuesday morning.

    ...Northeast into the Upper Ohio Valley...
    Mid 60s to low 70s dewpoints are forecast to be in place across the
    region ahead of the approaching cold front, supporting at least
    moderate instability. Predominantly southerly flow is anticipated
    ahead of the front, with some veering possible immediately ahead of
    the front. As a result, convergence along the front itself will
    likely be modest, but confluence within the broad and moist warm
    sector should result in multiple convective bands along and ahead of
    the front. Moderate mid-level flow is expected already be in place
    over the region by early Monday, with some modest strengthening
    possible throughout the day. Resultant vertical shear will support
    some more organized storm structures. The more boundary parallel
    shear vectors should support bowing line segments as the predominant
    storm mode, with an attendant threat for damaging wind gusts as the
    primary severe risk. Low-level shear does appear strong enough to
    support brief tornadoes with any cells than can remain more
    cellular/discrete. Hail could also occur with any more discrete
    cells.

    ...Lower/Middle OH Valley into the Mid-South...
    Thermodynamic conditions over this region are similar to those
    farther north from the upper OH Valley into the Northeast. However,
    the stronger mid-level flow will lag behind the front with storm
    structures likely remaining outflow dominant. Storm outflow will
    likely augment the front, resulting in a relatively progressive
    boundary despite its displacement from the primary low. Progressive
    nature of the front coupled with a boundary parallel vertical shear
    vector will also result in updraft undercutting and relatively
    short-duration updraft. These factors should mitigate the overall
    severe risk, although isolated damaging wind gusts are still
    possible.

    ...Arklatex into the southern Plains...
    Outflow associated with overnight storms across KS on Sunday will
    likely have augmented the front and pushed it southward into OK by
    early Monday. Ample low-level moisture will be in place ahead of the
    front, contributing to strong instability and the potential for
    robust updrafts. However, weak shear should preclude organization
    within these storms, resulting in outflow-dominant storm structures.
    As the front/composite outflow continues southward, the potential
    for damaging wind gusts will likely increase, owing to the strong
    heating and steep low-level lapse rates, maximizing across the TX
    Hill Country. Higher probabilities may be needed in later outlooks
    once the frontal position becomes more apparent.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST...MIDWEST AND CENTRAL PLAINS...AND
    PACIFIC NORTHWEST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms may occur Tuesday across parts of
    the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Strong to damaging wind gusts should
    be the main threat. Other isolated severe storms also appear
    possible across parts of the Midwest into the central Plains, and
    the Pacific Northwest.

    ...Mid-Atlantic/Coast Southeast...
    An upper trough is forecast to cover much of the eastern CONUS early
    Tuesday morning. Several embedded shortwave troughs are expected to
    progress through this upper troughing, contributing to some
    deamplification of the upper trough as well as a general eastward
    movement. Southernmost embedded shortwave trough, beginning the
    period over the central and southern Appalachians, will likely have
    the largest impact on thunderstorm chances. The quick
    eastward/northeastward progression of this system will help push a
    cold front through the Mid-Atlantic and coastal Southeast States.

    Air mass ahead of this cold front will be moist, buoyant, and weakly
    sheared. This should result in mostly multicellular storm
    structures, with updrafts/downdrafts that could occasionally become
    strong enough to produce damaging wind gusts.

    ...Central Plains/Mid MO Valley..
    Across the central CONUS, a weak frontal zone from the western Gulf
    Coast into south TX will further diminish throughout the day as
    strong moisture return occurs across the southern/central Plains. A
    warm front is expected to develop/sharpen near where the leading
    edge of this moisture return meets the more continental air mass in
    the wake of upper trough.

    Strong heating and low-level convergence in the vicinity of this
    boundary (perhaps aided by a subtle shortwave trough) are expected
    to result in thunderstorm initiation during the late afternoon. Only
    modest buoyancy is anticipated, but southerly low-level flow veering
    to relatively strong northwesterly flow aloft will result in enough
    vertical shear for organized updrafts capable of large hail. Five
    percent hail probabilities will be maintained with this outlook, but
    higher probabilities may be needed in later outlook. Uncertainties
    at this forecast range, including the extent of moisture return and
    diurnal heating as well as the location of the strongest low-level
    convergence, preclude the confidence needed for higher probabilities
    at this forecast range.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    Low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to eject northeastward
    through the far northwestern periphery of the upper ridging Tuesday
    afternoon. Favorable timing of this shortwave coupled with
    increasing mid-level moisture and strong diurnal heating should
    result in afternoon thunderstorm development. Moderate deep-layer
    vertical shear (i.e. 30-35 kt) should be enough for a few organized,
    high-based storms capable of producing strong/gusty winds
    approaching severe limits.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Northwesterly flow aloft will promote afternoon thunderstorms off
    the high terrain and into the southern High Plains. Environment
    across the southern High Plains will be well mixed, resulting in the
    potential for damaging downbursts with any more robust storms.
    However, overall coverage is too uncertain to introduce any
    probabilities with this outlook.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF MAINE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across eastern
    Maine on Monday. Scattered thunderstorms are also likely from the
    Southwest across the southern Plains into much of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Synopsis...

    The overall upper pattern on Monday will remain stagnant and similar
    to the previous few days. A subtropical high over the eastern U.S.
    will maintain and very moist airmass to the east of an upper ridge
    progressing slowly over the Plains and Upper Midwest. Further west,
    upper ridging will maintain the ongoing heat wave over much of the
    region. Widespread, diurnally driven thunderstorm activity will
    encompass a large portion of the U.S., with some stronger storms
    possible across parts of the Mid-Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes
    vicinity as well as over parts of Maine.

    ...Maine...

    Modest westerly flow is expected across the region with pockets of
    30-35 kt 850-700 mb winds possible. A weak surface low will slowly
    traverse eastward across Maine and New Brunswick, allowing a cold
    front to sag southward. Mid to upper 60s F dewpoints and
    temperatures warming into the 80s will result in weak to moderate
    instability. While lapse rates will remain poor, effective shear may
    approach 30 kts and aid some organized cells during peak heating.
    Steep low level lapse rates will support stronger downdrafts and a
    few strong/locally damaging gusts are possible.

    ...Mid-Mississippi Valley to Lower Michigan...

    Weak low level convergence along the western periphery of the
    subtropical high and the upper trough over the Plains will result in bands/clusters of storms across the region. While a warm and moist
    airmass will support weak to moderate instability, poor lapse rates
    and weak shear ultimately will result in poorly organized
    convection. Nevertheless, high PW values and storm-scale
    interactions could result in sporadic strong gusts. At this time,
    the overall threat appears too transient/unorganized to include
    severe probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WI AND MI
    INTO NORTHERN IL/IN/OH...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
    Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes Region on Tuesday.

    ...Great Lakes Vicinity...

    An upper shortwave trough will migrate eastward across the Great
    Lakes on Tuesday. West/southwesterly midlevel flow will increase in
    response, with 30-40 kt forecast around 700-500 mb over WI/MI and
    northern portions of IL/IN/OH. Cooling aloft will result in modest
    midlevel lapse rates across parts of WI/Upper MI. Aided by surface
    dewpoints in the low to mid 60s F, weak to moderate instability is
    forecast amid 25-35 kt effective shear. This could support briefly
    organized cells/bowing segments capable of strong wind gusts.

    Further south toward northern IL/IN/OH and Lower MI, stronger
    heating and dewpoints in the upper 60s to near 70 F will result in
    stronger instability. However, midlevel lapse rates will remain poor
    and effective shear more marginal compared to further
    north/northwest. Nevertheless, high PW values amid adequate
    shear/instability and steeper low level lapse rates could support
    sporadic strong/locally damaging wind gusts through early evening.

    ...AZ...

    Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop near the higher
    terrain of the Mogollon Rim during the afternoon/evening amid
    increasing midlevel moisture. Weak shear and modest
    instability/lapse rates will limit longevity of more intense
    updrafts, but a well-mixed boundary layer with inverted-v sub-cloud thermodynamic profiles suggest strong downburst winds are possible.
    Storm coverage is expected to remain sparse and in the absence of
    stronger shear/instability, the overall threat limited, precluding
    severe probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CHESAPEAKE BAY
    VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across
    portions of the Mid-Atlantic States Thursday afternoon.

    ...Mid-Atlantic states...
    A mid/upper-level trough over Ontario/Great Lakes will move
    southeast to the central Appalachians during the period. Showers
    and a few thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning over
    the middle/upper OH Valley eastward into the Alleghenies. As the
    airmass to the east of this activity heats/destabilizes during the
    late morning into the afternoon, storms are expected to
    preferentially develop on the eastern outflow. Increasing
    large-scale ascent will likely favor scattered to numerous
    thunderstorms developing from eastern PA southwestward into the
    central Appalachians by mid afternoon. As this activity moves into
    the Chesapeake Bay vicinity with 35-40 kt in the 700-500 mb layer,
    richer low-level moisture and steepened 0-2 km lapse rates may lead
    to a slightly greater concentration of 50-65 mph gusts capable of
    widely scattered wind damage. The severe risk will likely lessen
    with southward extent across far southeast VA where flow fields will
    be weaker.

    ...South-central High Plains...
    Moist profiles in wake of overnight or early-day convection and
    considerable cloudiness will likely limit the degree of heating than
    would otherwise occur. A belt of modest westerly mid- to high-level
    flow on the northern periphery of a mid-level anticyclone may result
    in a zone of modest deep-layer shear atop weak surface flow with an
    easterly component. However, considerable uncertainty remains
    regarding convective influence from today through early Thursday,
    and sub-par 700-500 mb lapse rates will also act to limit overall
    storm vigor such that a less-than-5 percent probability highlight is
    maintained this outlook update.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM LOWER
    MICHIGAN SOUTHWARD INTO PARTS OF INDIANA/OHIO AND TOWARD THE OHIO
    RIVER...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon and
    evening from southern Lower Michigan into parts of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Wednesday morning, a negative-tile shortwave trough will extend
    from MN to the mid MS Valley, and will weaken as it pivots northeast
    toward the upper Great Lakes by 00Z. To the west, a broad upper
    trough with move across the northern Rockies and into the northern
    Plains, with an intensifying midlevel speed max to around 90 kt by
    12Z Thursday over MN.

    At the surface, low pressure will fill as it moves from MN toward
    Upper MI, with a shrinking warm sector from north to south due to an
    occluded front. A plume of 60s F dewpoints will extend as far north
    as lower MI through afternoon, with mid to upper 60s from AR to the
    Red River. The trailing front will stall from the OH Valley to the
    Ozarks, then return north over the Plains as a warm front as a
    secondary low develops over the High Plains. A strong cold front
    will move south across the central Plains Wednesday night, reaching
    northwest TX into central OK by 12Z Thursday.

    ...Ohio Valley to Lower MI...
    The combination of a moist pre-frontal air mass as well as heating
    will lead to 1500-2000 J/kg MUCAPE, beneath 40-50 kt midlevel
    westerlies with cool temperatures/steep lapse rates aloft. Initial
    warm/moist advection east of the surface instability axis will
    likely lead to scattered thunderstorms Wednesday morning, primarily
    with little hail potential.

    A greater threat of hail will occur during the peak heating hours,
    with east/southeast-moving cells developing from southern Lower MI
    across IN and OH. Rather veered/westerly winds will exist but may
    favor wind gusts as well. A capping inversion is forecast below 700
    mb, but lift along the front should support a narrow, broken line of
    storms. Northern areas toward Lower MI and northern OH appear to be
    more favorably positioned relative to the ejecting wave, and cell or
    two may produce a tornado in that area. Coverage of storms becomes
    uncertain with southward extend due to subsidence aloft in the wake
    of the ejecting wave. However, a conditional risk of hail will exist
    along the boundary southwestward toward the MS River.

    ...Central Plains/Lower MO Valley Late...
    As the cold front pushes south overnight, it will meet an unstable
    air mass, perhaps with over 2000 J/kg MUCAPE. This moisture surge
    will be aided by an increasing low-level jet, but timing of the
    front is uncertain, as they typically move faster that forecast.
    While capping is a concern, the increasing lift may remove CIN,
    allowing for elevated storms, some of which could produce hail.
    Given the favorable lapse rates aloft as well as deep-layer shear,
    low hail probabilities have been added, though the risk area may
    shift in subsequent outlooks.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
    MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY...AND OVER A PORTION OF
    NORTHERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms capable of damaging winds, large
    hail, and perhaps a couple tornadoes will be possible Thursday from
    parts of eastern Missouri into the lower Ohio Valley and vicinity.
    Locally damaging winds and hail are also expected over parts of
    northern Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Thursday, an upper low will move east from Manitoba into western
    Ontario, with a broad area of cyclonic flow aloft from the northern
    Plains to the Upper Great Lakes. South of the primary midlevel
    temperature gradient, moderate winds to around 50 kt will extend
    southward from MO into the OH Valley, with 30 kt midlevel winds into
    northern TX. Southwest winds of 30-40 kt will exist around 850 mb,
    aiding theta-e advection into the Mid MS/OH Valleys.

    At the surface, a cold front will exist roughly from northern MO
    into northwest TX Thursday morning, with a weak low moving from MO
    into the OH Valley ahead off the front. A warm front will lift
    northward ahead of the low, allowing moistening to occur over much
    of southern IL, IN, and northern KY during the day, and spreading
    into western OH overnight. Ample moisture ahead of this front will
    result in an elongated area of strong to severe potential throughout
    the day.

    ...Mid MS Valley into the lower OH Valley...
    Severe probabilities have been shifted farther west given latest
    model trends, as strong to severe storms could begin rather early in
    the day. Ongoing areas of storms are expected on the nose of the
    low-level jet, possibly in the form of an MCS, roughly over northern
    MO. As the warm front lifts north ahead of any such system, this
    could prove favorable for a swath of damaging winds. Otherwise,
    activity is expected to form near the low and along the cold front,
    where instability and shear will also favor supercells with large
    hail and perhaps tornado risk. Given the potential for early storms,
    this lends uncertainty to the forecast, and precludes an upgrade of
    higher coverage probabilities as placement would be uncertain.
    Regardless of early day evolution, moderate westerlies atop the
    expanding moist sector should favor areas of damaging wind, hail,
    and perhaps a few tornadoes during the day and through early
    evening. The severe risk could potentially reach into western OH and
    northern KY late, depending on upstream evolution.

    ...Northern TX...
    A cold front will push quickly south across OK and MO during the
    day, and across the Red River during the late afternoon and early
    evening. Given the late frontal arrival, strong destabilization will
    occur with full heating and upper 60s to lower 70s F dewpoints.
    MLCAPE over 3000 J/kg is forecast, with steep lapse rates through a
    deep layer. Although shear will not be strong, hodographs will
    favor southeastward-moving cells developing near the front or within
    the narrow low-level lapse rate plume where it will become uncapped.
    Locally damaging downbursts along with hail will be possible with
    any storms that develop, warranting an upgrade in severe
    probabilities for this focused diurnal event.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Sporadic strong to marginally severe storms are possible on Friday
    over parts of the Southeast.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper low will deepen as it moves across Ontario, with strong
    flow across the Great Lakes with a 90+ kt, elongated midlevel speed
    max. Well to the south, 30-40 kt midlevel winds will exist across
    northern portions of MS/AL/GA/Carolinas. This flow will be
    juxtaposed with a destabilizing air mass ahead of a cold front, with
    MLCAPE over 1000 J/kg developing where heating is strongest.

    Storms are likely to develop over the Appalachians, extending
    southwestward along the front into northern GA, AL, and into central
    MS. A subsidence inversion below 700 mb will be a concern for the
    lower elevations, but at least isolated marginally severe storms
    will be possible coincident with peak heating and with sufficient
    frontal convergence.

    Forecast soundings show steep low-level lapse rates but relatively
    weak low-level winds. However, modest west/northwest flow aloft and sufficiently long hodographs may favor a few cells capable of
    marginal hail and locally damaging gusts.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Sporadic strong to marginally severe storms are still possible
    tomorrow (Friday) over parts of the Southeast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad mid-level trough will traverse Ontario and Quebec, with
    mainly zonal flow overspreading the central and northern CONUS
    tomorrow (Friday). Meanwhile, a smaller mid-level trough is poised
    to eject into the southern High Plains at the end of the period. A
    surface cold front will sweep across the eastern U.S. in advance of
    the first mid-level trough, providing enough low-level ascent to
    support scattered strong thunderstorm development given adequate
    buoyancy and vertical wind shear preceding the front. For Friday
    night into Saturday morning, the approach of the southwestern
    mid-level trough will encourage low-level jet development over the
    southern Plains, with scattered to widespread thunderstorm
    development expected along the low-level jet terminus, where
    low-level convergence will be strongest.

    ...Parts of the Southeast toward the Carolina Piedmont...
    Surface temperatures are expected to warm above 80 F amid low to mid
    60s F dewpoints ahead of the surface cold front, boosting SBCAPE
    from 1000-2000 J/kg across the warm sector. Modest westerly 500 mb
    flow from the glancing mid-level trough will overspread a 15-20 kt southwesterly 850 mb wind field, resulting in elongated hodographs
    and 40+ kts of effective bulk shear. As such, organized multicells
    and transient supercells are expected to initiate ahead of the cold
    front by afternoon, accompanied by occasional instances of hail and
    gusty winds. A couple instances of severe hail/wind could occur with
    some of the stronger storms, especially if a more pronounced
    supercell structure can become established.

    ...Central and northern Texas...
    A strongly capped boundary layer is expected to reside across much
    of TX through the period, limiting the chances for surface-based
    convective initiation. As the low level jet strengthens overnight,
    the jet terminus is expected to become situated somewhere near the
    Red River, where isentropic ascent should lift elevated buoyant
    parcels to their LFC and initiate scattered to potentially numerous thunderstorms. LFCs are expected to be between 700-600 mb, which
    should restrict CAPE to thin profiles, limiting severe hail
    production. Nonetheless, given elongated hodographs and steep
    mid-level lapse rates, at least small hail is possible and a sparse
    instance of severe hail cannot be ruled out, though the coverage
    seems too isolated/localized to warrant probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS...

    CORRECTED FOR REVERSED THUNDER LINES

    ...SUMMARY...
    Marginally severe storms capable of strong wind gusts and hail will
    be possible on Saturday across parts of south-central and southeast
    Texas.

    ...South-central and Southeast Texas...
    A shortwave trough will move toward the southern Plains on Saturday,
    as zonal flow remains in place across much of the Gulf Coast region.
    At the surface, a quasi-stationary front is forecast to be located
    across south-central and southeast Texas. South of this boundary, a
    moist airmass will be in place with surface dewpoints in the 60s F.
    Surface heating will result in destabilization across this airmass
    during the day. As instability peaks during the afternoon, and as
    low-level convergence increases along and near the front, scattered thunderstorm development is expected. ECMWF forecast soundings in
    south-central Texas during the late afternoon suggest that MLCAPE
    will peak near 1200 J/kg, and that 0-6 km shear will be around 40
    knots. This would be favorable for an isolated severe threat. The
    stronger storms could be associated with isolated damaging wind
    gusts and hail. However, limited large-scale ascent and poor lapse
    rates will likely keep any severe threat marginal.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Sunday across parts of
    the Gulf Coast region, but no severe threat is expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough will move through the mid Mississippi Valley
    on Sunday, as a cold front advances southward into the northern Gulf
    of Mexico. Thunderstorms will be possible in the vicinity of the
    front early in the day near the western and central Gulf Coast.
    Further east, thunderstorms will also be possible in southern parts
    of the Southeast, and across the central and northern Florida
    Peninsula. Instability in the vicinity of the front is expected to
    be weak, which will limit any severe potential. Elsewhere across the continental U.S., thunderstorm development is not forecast Sunday or
    Sunday night.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms, capable of marginally severe wind gusts and
    hail, will be possible across the central and southern Florida
    Peninsula on Monday.

    ...Central and Southern Florida Peninsula...
    An upper-level trough will move to the Atlantic Seaboard on Monday,
    as a cold front advances southward across the central and southern
    Florida Peninsula. Along and south of the front, surface dewpoints
    should generally be from 65 to 70 F. As the moist airmass heats up,
    scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop around midday. This
    activity is expected to persist through much of the afternoon,
    gradually progressing southeastward to near Miami. NAM forecast
    soundings from 18Z to 21Z to the northwest of Miami have MLCAPE
    peaking near 1000 J/kg, 0-6 km shear around 50 knots, and 0-3 km
    lapse rates reaching 7 C/km. This environment could support an
    isolated supercell, associated with hail and damaging wind gusts.
    However, multicell is expected to be the dominant storm mode. The
    stronger short line segments could be capable of a marginal
    wind-damage threat. The threat is expected to be concentrated during
    the mid to late afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday from parts
    of the Texas Caprock eastward across northwest Texas and far
    southwest Oklahoma.

    ...Southern Plains...
    An upper-level ridge will build into the Rockies on Tuesday, as
    mid-level flow remains from the west-northwest across the southern
    Plains. At the surface, a cold front will advance southward across
    western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. South of the front,
    surface dewpoints are forecast to increase into the 50s F across
    northwest Texas by afternoon. As surface temperatures warm during
    the day, a pocket of instability is forecast to develop, with MLCAPE
    expected to peak in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. Forecast soundings
    on Tuesday in the afternoon have a capping inversion in place.
    However, increasing low-level convergence along the front may be
    enough for isolated convective initiation. Any storms that form
    would be high-based, and in an environment with moderate deep-layer
    shear and steep lapse rates. This could support a potential for
    isolated supercells with large hail. A strong wind gust or two would
    also be possible. The capping inversion should keep any severe
    threat in a relatively narrow window, from late afternoon into the
    early evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    OKLAHOMA AND WEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms will be possible on Wednesday across parts of
    Oklahoma and west Texas. Isolated hail and severe gusts will be the
    primary hazards.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper-level trough initially off of the southern CA/Baja coast is
    forecast to move inland on Wednesday, reaching the Southwest by
    Thursday morning. A nearly stationary front is forecast to be draped
    from west/north TX into parts of the lower MS Valley, with weak
    surface troughing expected over the central/southern Plains. Across
    the east, an upper-level trough is forecast to move through parts of
    the OH Valley into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, as an attendant
    cold front sweeps through New England. Low-topped convection with
    locally gusty winds could accompany the front during the afternoon.

    ...Parts of the southern Great Plains...
    An uncertain Marginal Risk has been maintained from parts of west TX
    into OK, with some adjustments made based on latest guidance.

    Elevated convection may develop or be ongoing across parts of OK
    Wednesday morning, within a zone of low-level warm advection along
    the northeastern fringe of moderate elevated buoyancy. Any such
    convection will tend to move southeastward through the day, north of
    stationary front. Steep midlevel lapse rates and marginally
    supportive effective shear (for convection likely based between
    800-700 mb) could support an isolated hail/wind risk with any
    stronger semi-discrete storms.

    Farther west, generally weak forcing will likely tend to limit
    coverage of diurnal surface-based storms. However, rather strong
    heating and diminishing MLCINH could support isolated development
    across areas of west/northwest TX near the stationary front, and
    southward along a weakly convergent surface trough/dryline. Moderate
    to locally strong buoyancy and sufficient deep-layer shear will
    result in a conditionally favorable environment, and an isolated
    supercell or two could evolve if storms can mature, with a threat
    for hail and localized severe gusts.

    Finally, another round of elevated convection may develop from
    northwest TX into OK late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, as
    deeper moisture spreads northward in advance of the approaching
    upper trough. Moderate elevated buoyancy and sufficient effective
    shear could support an isolated hail threat within this regime.

    ...Southeast OK toward the ArkLaMiss region...
    Modest buoyancy may develop near/south of the nearly stationary
    front from southeast OK into the ArkLaMiss Wednesday afternoon.
    Elevated convection could spread southeastward north of the boundary
    through the day within a weak northwesterly flow regime, while
    isolated diurnal storm development will be possible near the
    boundary. Uncertainty remains regarding the intensity and coverage
    of convection across this region, but a strong storm or two cannot
    be ruled out into early evening.
