...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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
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.

Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
States on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
A quiescent weather pattern for thunderstorms will exist for much of
the Lower 48 on Sunday. Dry/stable conditions will exist over most
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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm development will be possible along parts of the West
Coast Monday and Monday night, but no severe thunderstorms are
expected.
...DISCUSSION...
An upper-level ridge will move eastward into the Mississippi Valley
on Monday as an upper-level low moves southward across the northeast
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.

Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United

...Synopsis...
A mid-level low will slowly move southward while remaining centered
to the west of the Pacific Northwest coast during the day-2 period.
A series of shortwave troughs will move through the base of the
eastern Pacific trough and episodically move ashore the northern
CA/OR coast. Relatively steep lapse rates owing to cold mid-level
temperatures will result in intermittent pockets of weak buoyancy
near the immediate coast. Low-topped convection embedded within
areas of showers may yield a few lightning flashes. Elsewhere, a
progressive low-amplitude flow regime will exist across the Lower 48
with generally dry/stable conditions.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...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.

...SUMMARY...
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.

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.

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.

...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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the
contiguous United States on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
A weak mid-level trough initially near the NM/TX/Mexico border will
move east-southeast and weaken as it nears the lower Rio Grande
Valley by daybreak Sunday. A plume of steep mid-level lapse rates
will reside across the southern High Plains atop lower 40s to lower
50s F dewpoints. Weak instability will maximize during the late
afternoon and isolated thunderstorms are possible from southeast NM
to the Edwards Plateau. Isolated thunderstorms may continue into
the overnight into parts of the TX Hill Country and Rio Grande
Valley. Storm organization is not expected largely due to weak
instability.
Elsewhere, mid-level ridging will lead to quiet conditions for
thunderstorms across the remaining contiguous United States.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...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.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
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.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS ...SOUTHERN
LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA AND ADJACENT
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.

SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FL 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.
...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.

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

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID
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.

As broad cyclonic flow around a Canadian Maritimes upper low
gradually departs from the Northeast, the primary feature of
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.

...FL...
Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will be ongoing Sunday
morning across northern FL and will develop southward along a cold

...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.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE DAKOTAS AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS...AND OVER
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.

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.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
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.

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.

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.

...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.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EAST TX
NORTHWARD INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms will be possible Sunday
from northeast Texas into parts of the upper Mississippi Valley.
Damaging winds, hail, and a few tornadoes will all be possible.
...East TX into the upper MS Valley...
A broad region of at least some severe potential is still expected
on Sunday from northeast TX into parts of the upper MS Valley.
Within this larger region, it appears the greatest relative threat
may develop from northeast TX/southeast OK into western AR/northwest
LA. However, with very extensive convection expected upstream on
D1/Saturday, uncertainty is too high to increase probabilities at
this time.
A negatively tilted shortwave trough and attendant surface low are
forecast to move from the central Plains toward the upper MS Valley
on Sunday. Widespread convection will likely be ongoing at the start
of the period from Texas toward the lower MO Valley, and potentially
farther north into parts of the upper Midwest. Some lingering severe
threat could accompany this morning convection, especially toward
the ArkLaTex region where somewhat more favorable
moisture/instability will be in place.
There is some potential for morning convection to remain somewhat
organized and continue eastward with a severe threat, but the
greater concern will be with redevelopment in the wake of morning
convection, with rich low-level moisture expected to remain in place along/ahead of the dryline, which will likely extend from eastern
NE/KS into central OK/TX by late afternoon.
One area of potential redevelopment will be immediately ahead of the
ejecting shortwave trough from eastern KS/NE into western MO and
southern IA, where a few stronger cells/clusters could pose a threat
of hail, isolated damaging gusts, and a tornado or two. The
magnitude of this threat will be strongly dependent on the extent of
diurnal destabilization in the wake of morning convection.
Potentially more vigorous redevelopment will be possible along the western/southern periphery of remnant early convection near the
ArkLaTex region, where rich moisture and favorable wind profiles
will support organized convection, if sufficient
recovery/destabilization can occur. Supercells will be possible,
though there may be a tendency toward cluster or linear mode as
storm coverage increases. Damaging gusts, hail and a few tornadoes
will be possible within this regime, though magnitude and favored
placement of the threat remain uncertain at this time.
...Northeast OH into PA...
A few stronger storms will be possible Sunday afternoon from
northeast OH into PA, within a weakly forced northwest-flow regime.
At this time, instability appears too weak to support an organized
severe threat, though small hail and gusty winds will be possible
with the strongest storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Several strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday
from parts of southeast Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley.
...Synopsis...
On Monday, an upper trough will shift northeastward out of the upper
MS Valley and Great Lakes, while a southern-stream wave moves
quickly east across TX and the lower MS Valley. Weak low pressure
will exist over WI in association with the northern system, with a
front roughly from Lake MI into northern OK by 00Z. South of this
front, low-level moisture and instability will exist over much of
the southern Texas into the lower MS Valley, with early day storms
likely near the Sabine Valley.
Elsewhere, a strong shortwave trough will progress from the Pacific
Northwest into the northern Rockies, possibly with strong wind gusts
associated with high-based convection over parts of MT.
...TX into LA...
An MCS is forecast near the Sabine Valley early Monday, and this
will likely move quickly out of TX and across southern LA. Damaging
winds will be possible with this system given the expected high
degree of organization. However, it may also progress farther than
currently forecast, reducing land area for severe storm coverage
prior to 12Z Monday. Favorable southerly winds around 850 mb as well
as enhanced midlevel westerlies will support both damaging gust
potential as well as possible QLCS tornado risk prior to the system
moving offshore. Given the high dependency on the previous days
storm evolution, predictability is a bit low for higher wind
probabilities at this time.
Farther west into central TX, it is uncertain how many storms will
form during the afternoon, if any. Isolated activity cannot be ruled
out at peak heating during the late afternoon, and perhaps if any
residual boundaries trail westward from the early day storms.
...Central and eastern MT...
Steep lapse rates will develop ahead of a cold front as a potent
shortwave trough pushes east with rapid height falls across MT.
Moisture and instability will be limited but minimal CAPE, a deeply
mixed boundary layer and increasing deep-layer mean winds may
support a few convective showers or thunderstorms capable of
enhancing wind gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN
NE...WESTERN IA...NORTHWEST MO...EASTERN KS...SOUTHEAST
SD...SOUTHWEST MN...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday from parts of the
mid/upper Mississippi Valley into the central/southern Plains. The
greatest threat is expected from eastern Nebraska into parts of
western Iowa and southwest Minnesota, with a risk of very large
hail, severe wind gusts, and a few tornadoes.
...Synopsis...
An amplified mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move
eastward from the northern Rockies into parts of the northern Plains
on Tuesday, as an attendant strong mid/upper-level jet overspreads
the central Plains. A surface wave is forecast to move from the
central Plains toward the upper MS Valley, with a separate low
expected to largely remain in place across the southern High Plains.
...Upper MS Valley into the southern Plains...
An active severe weather day appears possible from eastern
NE/southeast SD into western IA/southwest MN, though uncertainty
remains regarding the quality of moisture return and primary storm
mode.
Modest low-level moisture will stream northward through the day from
the southern Plains into the central Plains and upper MS Valley, in
response to the approaching shortwave trough. While the richest
moisture will likely remain displaced southward of the shortwave
track, 50s to near 60F dewpoints could spread as far north as
eastern NE/western IA and southern MN by Tuesday afternoon. This
moistening beneath steep midlevel lapse rates will support diurnal destabilization, with peak MLCAPE ranging from around 500 J/kg
across southern MN to greater than 1500 J/kg across the
central/southern Plains.
Thunderstorm development is expected along a cold front by mid
afternoon across northeast NE into southeast SD, with somewhat later
initiation possible southward into southeast NE/northeast KS, as
strong ascent overspreads the region. Quick evolution into
supercells will be possible due to very favorable deep-layer shear,
though some evolution toward a linear or cluster mode will be
possible with time as storms move eastward.
Any persistent supercells will pose a threat of potentially very
large hail (greater than 2 inches in diameter). Any notable upscale
growth could also be accompanied by severe wind gusts (potentially
in excess of 75 mph), especially in areas where stronger heating
occurs prior to storm arrival. Some tornado threat would also
accompany any stronger supercells, though the magnitude of the
tornado risk will be dependent on the quality of low-level moisture
return, which remains uncertain at this time. Greater severe
probabilities may eventually be needed once confidence increases
regarding moisture and primary storm mode.
More isolated development appears possible into the southern Plains,
where a supercell or two could develop with a threat of hail and
localized severe gusts.
...Parts of PA into central NY...
A weakening upper-level trough will move across parts of the OH
Valley on Tuesday. While the surface pattern will be rather
nebulous, modest low-level moisture will support at least weak
diurnal destabilization. Modestly supportive deep-layer shear could
support a few strong storms during the afternoon from parts of PA
into central NY. No probabilities were added due to uncertainty
regarding the magnitude of destabilization, but some isolated severe
threat could eventually evolve depending on trends regarding the
extent of heating and low-level moisture across the region.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SOUTHWESTWARD INTO PARTS OF NORTHWEST
TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible on Thursday from
parts of the upper Mississippi Valley into the southern Plains.
...Synopsis...
On Thursday morning, a shortwave trough will be located over the
northern High Plains, with a leading 70+ kt 500 mb speed max over NE
and SD. This wave will move toward the upper MS Valley in
negative-tilt fashion, deepening all the while. To the south,
relatively weak midlevel flow will exist from the Southwest into the
southern Plains, but a high-level jet will extend from Mexico into
TX. A midlevel wave will also exist over central and eastern TX
early, with associated heavy rains forecast per WPC outlooks.
At the surface, low pressure is forecast to be located near
northwest MO, with a trough extending into northwest TX early in the
day. The primary surface low will move northeastward across IA and
into WI late in the day, while the southern extension of the
trough/wind shift makes slow southward progress across OK and
northern TX.
A warm front will lift north across IA and IL ahead of the low, with
at least low 60s F dewpoints into eastern IA and northern IL by
afternoon. While a southwesterly low-level jet will aid theta-e
advection early, wind fields around 850 mb will generally weaken as
the upper trough continues northeastward.
...Mid MO Valley into the Upper MS Valley...
Thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing along the cold front from
southeast NE into northeast KS, and across much of IA where a 50+ kt
low-level jet will enhance lift and theta-e advection. Behind this
initial activity, areas of heating will lead to a diurnal increase
in storms from IA into MO near the cold front and/or near residual
outflows. Shear will decrease over time as the shortwave trough
lifts north; however, low-level shear near the warm front may still
favor a low-end tornado risk during the afternoon. Otherwise,
localized strong gusts or marginal hail may occur with storms along
the cold front.
...Central and Western OK into northern TX...
Heating will occur ahead of the sagging boundary and along a
dryline, where 60s F dewpoints will remain in place. Forecast
soundings indicate moderate instability will develop, with over 2000
J/kg MUCAPE expected. However, midlevel lapse rates will not be
particularly steep, owing to possible midlevel subsidence behind the
east TX wave. Still, strong heating will lead to an uncapped air
mass, and sufficient convergence near the boundaries should lead to
at least isolated strong to severe storms. Locally strong downbursts
or hail may occur with slow-moving, southeastward-propagating storms
or small clusters.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND SOUTH PLAINS LATE...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible late Friday into
Saturday morning over parts of the central/southern Plains.
...Synopsis...
As an initial shortwave trough moves across the upper Great Lakes
and into Ontario, a secondary wave will move across the northern
Plains, with modest 30 kt 500 mb flow into the central Plains.
Relatively cool midlevel temperatures will also remain over the
region, with -12 C at 500 mb well south into TX.
Behind the exiting Great Lakes trough, high pressure will exist over
the northern Plains and upper MS Valley, with a front roughly from
Lower MI into northwest TX early Friday. This boundary will return
north as a warm front by afternoon, with 60s F dewpoints back into
KS, OK, and northwest TX during the evening. A cold front will push
southward into central NE and eastern CO by 00Z, and will continue
across KS and into the TX Panhandle overnight.
Elsewhere, a southern-stream jet and low-amplitude trough will move
across TX and into the lower MS Valley during the day, interacting
with robust moisture and leading to numerous storms from eastern TX
into MS. These should be largely non-severe, as lapse rates and
shear will be weak.
...Central Plains into the TX Panhandle Late...
As the cold front intercepts the moistening boundary layer and 30-40
kt southeasterly 850 mb winds, a line of storms is expected to form
and push southward overnight. Steep lapse rates aloft will
counteract a bit of boundary layer stability, and combine with
frontal ascent to support areas of strong to severe gusts. Veering
winds with height should aid southeastward storm propagation and
continued outflow production, though hail may occur from time to
time with the stronger updrafts.
...TX South Plains/Northwest TX during the afternoon/evening...
Indications are that storms will be ongoing over much of eastern TX
into the lower MS Valley Friday morning, with possible outflows
across parts of central or northern TX. Strong heating will occur
over western TX, which will likely lead to a ribbon of stronger
instability. As such, isolated severe storms with large hail risk
cannot be ruled out in this area close to 00Z, coincident with peak
heating.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms posing a threat for very large hail,
damaging winds, and perhaps a few tornadoes should occur across
parts of the southern High Plains Saturday afternoon and evening.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across a broader
portion of the southern Plains into the Ozarks, mid Mississippi
Valley, and Midwest.
...Synopsis...
A closed upper low will move east-southeastward over the western
states on Saturday. Downstream, a shortwave trough will advance
quickly east-northeastward across the Upper Midwest through the day.
A related weak surface low should develop from IA towards IL in the
same time frame. A cold front will extend southwestward from this
low across parts of the mid MS Valley into the southern Plains. A subtle/low-amplitude shortwave trough is forecast to move across
northern Mexico and the southern High Plains by late Saturday
afternoon. This feature may provide sufficient lift to support
isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms across parts of the
southern High Plains Saturday afternoon/evening.
...Southern High Plains...
A weak surface low should be in place over parts of far west TX and north-central Mexico through the day, with a dryline extending
southward from this low. A southward-moving cold front should
eventually intersect the dryline by late Saturday afternoon. Diurnal
heating of a very moist low-level airmass and steep mid-level lapse
rates will contribute to moderate/locally strong instability across
west TX and southeastern NM. Convective initiation appears likely
along both boundaries Saturday afternoon and evening. Although
low-level flow should remain rather weak through the day, a
favorably veering and slowly strengthening wind profile with height
through mid levels will support around 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear.
Robust thunderstorms that develop should quickly become
supercellular and pose a threat for very large hail. Occasional
severe/damaging downdraft winds may also occur. The tornado threat
should be modulated to some extent by weak low-level flow and modest
0-1 km shear through much of the afternoon. Still, a few tornadoes
appear possible towards Saturday evening with any persistent
supercell as an easterly low-level jet strengthens. A Slight Risk
has been introduced across parts of west TX and southeastern NM
where confidence is greatest in supercells occurring.
...Midwest/Mid Mississippi Valley to the Ozarks/Southern Plains...
A line of strong to locally severe thunderstorms may be ongoing at
the start of the period Saturday morning along or just ahead of the
cold front, extending from IA into eastern KS. Even with a nocturnal
minimum in instability, occasional damaging winds may occur with
this line before it eventually weakens by late morning. Eventual
redevelopment appears probable across parts of the mid MS
Valley/Midwest by Saturday afternoon, as daytime heating ahead of
the front fosters weak to moderate MLCAPE. Deep-layer shear appears
marginal to support organized convection (around 25-30 kt). But,
some small clusters may consolidate and pose an isolated threat for
damaging winds and hail as they spread eastward across parts of the
Midwest through Saturday afternoon, before slowly weakening Saturday
evening with the loss of daytime heating.
There also appears to be some chance for convection across west TX
to spread eastward across much of OK/TX Saturday evening/night as
the weak shortwave trough continues eastward across these areas.
With moderate to strong MUCAPE present along/south of the cold
front, some of this activity could pose a continued threat for
isolated severe hail and gusty winds.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE ARKLATEX AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...AND PORTIONS OF OHIO INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Sunday across
parts of the southern Plains into the ArkLaTex and lower Mississippi
Valley, and separately over portions of Ohio into western
Pennsylvania.
...Synopsis...
A pronounced/deep closed upper low over CA/NV will move eastward
over the western states on Sunday, eventually transitioning into an
open wave as it overspreads the northern/central Rockies by early
Monday morning. A weak southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast
to move northeastward from the southern Plains to the ArkLaTex and
lower MS Valley through the day. Another upper trough over Ontario
is expected to advance into Quebec, with the southern portion of
this feature glancing the lower Great Lakes and vicinity. Surface
lee cyclogenesis will occur across the northern High Plains ahead of
the western CONUS upper trough/low. Rich low-level moisture should
advance northward across the southern/central Plains through the
period, although convection over TX may temporarily slow this
process.
...Southern Plains into the ArkLaTex/Lower Mississippi Valley...
Multiple thunderstorm clusters will probably be ongoing across parts
of west into central TX at the start of the period Sunday morning.
An isolated threat for damaging winds and hail may persist with this
activity as it spreads eastward towards the middle/upper TX Coast
through early Sunday afternoon. A gradual uptick in convective
coverage and intensity may occur as modest destabilization occurs
ahead of ongoing thunderstorms. Strong deep-layer shear should
support continued convective organization, with small bowing
clusters possible. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may also
occur across parts of the ArkLaTex into the lower MS Valley as a
weak shortwave trough moves across these regions through Sunday
afternoon. However, effective bulk shear should remain weaker over
these areas. Based on the likelihood and probable placement of
morning convection across central TX, have expanded the Marginal
Risk a bit southward/eastward, while also trimming much of north TX
and south-central OK out of severe probabilities.
...Ohio into Western Pennsylvania...
Modest destabilization should occur ahead of a weak front advancing east-southeastward across the OH Valley on Sunday. Isolated to
scattered thunderstorms should develop by Sunday afternoon along or
just ahead of this boundary, as weak large-scale ascent associated
with an upper trough over Ontario/Quebec overspreads this region.
Deep-layer shear of 20-30 kt should support marginal updraft
organization. Occasional strong to damaging winds may occur with any
small clusters that can consolidate and spread east-southeastward
across parts of OH into western PA and vicinity Sunday afternoon and
early evening. This activity should gradually weaken through the
evening across PA as it encounters a less unstable airmass.
...Northern High Plains...
Low-level moisture is expected to remain very shallow/meager across
the northern High Plains through the period. Even so, daytime
heating and steep mid-level lapse rates may still support weak
instability developing through Sunday afternoon along/east of the
sharpening surface lee trough. While isolated high-based convection
that develops across this region could produce locally strong/gusty
winds, the overall severe threat appears too limited to include low
severe probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MID-SOUTH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday from the
Mid-South northeastward into the Ohio Valley. A few tornadoes, large
to very large hail, and severe/damaging winds all appear possible.
...Synopsis...
A large upper cyclone centered over the northern Plains should
slowly occlude on Tuesday. A convectively augmented mid-level
shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly northeastward across
the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes through the day. The primary
surface low over ND should weaken/occlude through the day, while a
separate, weak low is forecast to develop northeastward across the
Upper Midwest in tandem with the shortwave trough. A cold front will
sweep eastward across the Midwest/OH Valley through the day before decelerating, while a warm front simultaneously lifts northward
across the OH Valley and lower Great Lakes.
...Mid-South/Mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley...
There is relatively high confidence that a band of strong to severe
convection will be ongoing at the start of the period Tuesday
morning over parts of the Midwest/mid MS Valley. This convection
will probably weaken though the morning as it encounters a less
unstable airmass into the OH Valley. But, it may still pose some
threat for damaging winds. With somewhat steepened mid-level lapse
rates overspreading a moist low-level airmass, moderate to locally
strong instability should develop with diurnal heating across much
of the warm sector in the OH/TN Valleys.
The effect of the early-day convection complicates the potential for
a greater severe threat. Still, eventual regeneration along the
morning convection's outflow and/or leading edge seems probable into
Tuesday afternoon. Strengthening mid-level flow on the nose of an
enhanced (50-70 kt) mid-level jet will aid in the development of
strong deep-layer shear, which will support organized
updrafts/severe convection. Overall mode may be somewhat messy, with
a mix of supercells and multicell clusters possible. Regardless, any
persistent supercells should be capable of producing large to very
large hail. Low-level shear associated with a 25-35 kt
south-southwesterly low-level jet appears sufficient to support
updraft rotation and a threat for a few tornadoes, mainly across the
OH Valley. If thunderstorms can congeal into one or more clusters,
then a greater threat for severe/damaging winds would be realized.
This convection should spread into the western parts of the central Appalachians Tuesday evening before eventually weakening.
...Upper Midwest...
Cold mid-level temperatures associated with the upper trough should
foster the development of weak instability through Tuesday
afternoon. Strong large-scale ascent will likely encourage the
development of low-topped thunderstorms across parts of WI and
vicinity. Isolated hail and gusty winds may occur with the more
robust cores, and a brief tornado or two also appears possible.
...Virginia/North Carolina...
Isolated to perhaps widely scattered thunderstorms may develop
Tuesday afternoon across parts of VA/NC, generally along/east of a
weak surface lee trough. Sufficient forecast instability and shear
should be present to support some threat for hail and strong winds
with any thunderstorms that form. The overall severe threat is
expected to remain fairly isolated/marginal.
...Lower Mississippi Valley/Deep South...
Weaker forcing with southward extent across the lower MS Valley/Deep
South suggests a more conditional severe threat compared to
locations farther north. But, at least isolated strong to severe
thunderstorms appear possible Tuesday afternoon/evening, especially
along a weak surface trough extending into parts of MS/AL.
...Central Texas...
A highly conditional threat for thunderstorms is apparent across
parts of central TX Tuesday afternoon along/near a low-level
moisture gradient/sharpening dryline. While large-scale ascent aloft
appears negligible, if any thunderstorms can form and persist, they
could become severe given a strongly unstable airmass. This scenario
appears too uncertain to add low severe probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTH FLORIDA...SOUTH GEORGIA...AND COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms appear possible Friday
across parts of the Southeast. Damaging winds should be the main
threat.
...Southeast...
A compact but intense bow/MCS may be ongoing Friday morning across
parts of south GA into north FL. The location of this bow, its
intensity, and potential longevity to the Atlantic Coast remain
rather uncertain at this time. Still, a moist and unstable airmass
should be present across the Southeast Friday morning, along and
south of a cold front. A convectively augmented mid-level vorticity
maximum should accompany the small bow across the central Gulf Coast
vicinity. This feature and attendant enhanced mid-level westerly
winds should provide sufficient deep-layer shear for continued
organization of the bow as it moves quickly eastward Friday morning
across the remainder of north FL/south GA, and eventually off the
Atlantic Coast. Severe/damaging winds will likely be the main
concern with this MCS, although an embedded tornado or two also
appears possible. Have included a Slight Risk where damaging winds
appear most likely with the morning convection. However, a faster
progression than currently forecast may require further adjustments
to the corridor of greatest severe threat.
In the wake of this morning activity, additional convective
development and evolution across the Southeast remains unclear.
Robust thunderstorms could regenerate across parts of north FL on
the outflow of the morning MCS, with both a hail and wind threat
given a favorable environment forecast. Severe probabilities have
been expanded southward some across the FL Peninsula to account for
this plausible scenario. Other isolated strong to severe convection
may develop along or just ahead of the south-southeastward moving
cold front Thursday afternoon. This seems more likely to the north
of the morning MCS across parts of the Carolinas, and perhaps
north/central GA. Occasional damaging wind gusts and hail should be
the main threats if this thunderstorms develop in this somewhat
separate regime.
...West/South-Central Texas...
A cold front should decelerate as it moves southward across TX on
Friday. Modest easterly low-level flow will impinge on the higher
terrain of northern Mexico. At this point, it appears that
large-scale ascent will remain nebulous, with a belt of modestly
enhanced westerly mid-level flow persisting. A strong thunderstorm
or two may attempt to develop either along the cold front, or across
northern Mexico in the low-level upslope flow regime. Regardless,
the threat for severe convection across west/south-central TX still
appears too uncertain/conditional for low severe probabilities at
this time.
...Upper Midwest...
A shortwave trough will dig southeastward across the Upper Midwest
Friday. Limited low-level moisture and weak instability should be in
place across this region. But, strong/gusty winds may still occur
with low-topped convection that may develop and spread quickly
southeastward as low-level lapse rates steepen with daytime heating.
The potential for severe winds currently appears too limited to
include any probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE TRANS-PECOS AND FAR WEST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Saturday across
portions of the Trans-Pecos and Far West Texas.
...Synopsis...
Southern-stream upper low is forecast to move eastward across the
Four Corners and into the central Rockies on Saturday, devolving
into an open wave as it does. Moderate mid-level flow will extend
through the base of this wave, expanding eastward across northern
Mexico and into TX. Surface lee troughing is anticipated ahead of
this wave, with some northward expansion of a modified low-level
moisture across the southern High Plains.
A shortwave trough is also expected to progress through the northern
stream, moving from its early morning position over Lower MI
southeastward to the northern Mid-Atlantic by early Sunday morning.
An associated surface low will move just ahead of the parent
shortwave, while an attendant cold front moves across the OH and TN
Valleys by Saturday evening and through the Mid-Atlantic by early
Sunday morning. Isolated thunderstorms are possible along and ahead
of this cold front as it moves across the OH Valley. A few stronger, convectively augmented gusts are possible within any deeper cores.
...Southern High Plains...
Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across the region,
within the broad warm-air advection regime ahead of the approaching
shortwave trough. Buoyancy will be modest, but moderate vertical
shear could still support a few updrafts capable of producing small
hail. This area of precipitation will likely persist throughout the
day, likely contributing to a fairly narrow warm sector between the
rain-cooled airmass over much of the TX Panhandle and Permian Basin
and the sharpening lee trough southeast NM and Far West TX. General
expectation is for upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints to advect into the
Trans-Pecos by the late afternoon, contributing to airmass
destabilization amid filtered daytime heating.
Ascent provided by a combination of modest upslope with convergence
along surface lee trough and gradually increasing large-scale
forcing should be enough to initiate a few storms within this
destabilizing airmass. Strong vertical shear should result in
updraft organization/supercells with any robust updrafts. Large hail
and severe gusts are both possible with any supercells. High cloud
bases and modest low-level shear should keep the tornado threat low,
although not zero across much of the region. If a storm can persist
farther east, better low-level flow and low-level moisture will be
in place, contributing to a greater tornado potential. In general,
coverage is expected to remain isolated, precluding the need for
higher severe probabilities with this outlook.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST STATES INTO NORTHERN/CENTRAL
FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from portions of the
Tennessee Valley and Southeast States into northern/central Florida.
...TN Valley/Southeast States...
A southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to extend from Mid MS
Valley south-southwestward through east TX into the northwest Gulf
of Mexico early Tuesday morning. This shortwave is expected to
progress eastward across the Lower/Mid MS Valley, TN Valley, and
much of the Southeast throughout the day. Enhanced westerly flow
aloft will extend throughout the base of this system, gradually
spreading eastward from the Lower MS Valley across the Southeast and
into the Mid-Atlantic.
Surface low associated with this shortwave will be stacked beneath
the upper low throughout much of the period, gradually moving
eastward in tandem with the parent shortwave. A weak cold front will
extend southward from this surface low. This front is expected to
make gradual eastward progress across the TN Valley and Southeast
States, likely reaching the southern Piedmont region by early
Wednesday morning.
Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing in central Gulf
Coast vicinity, well ahead of the cold front. Given questions
regarding convective evolution overnight Monday, the location,
coverage, and intensity of these storms is uncertain. Guidance
indicates that the most probable scenario places a decaying
convective line in the southern AL/southern GA/FL Panhandle
vicinity. This line is then expected to continue eastward, with at
least some chance for reintensification during the afternoon with
the southern end of the line across the northern FL Peninsula. There
is also some chance that a mesoscale convective vortex within the
northern portion of the line interacts with a destabilized airmass
across southeast GA and eastern SC. In both areas, damaging gusts
will be the primary severe risk but a brief tornado or two is also
possible. Uncertainty regarding the overall convective evolution
merits low severe probabilities (i.e. 5% wind/2% tornado) with this
outlook.
The early morning convection is not expected to overturn the
airmass, with mid to upper 60s likely remain in place ahead of the
approaching cold front. General expectation is for the airmass
across the TN Valley and much of the Southeast to destabilize by the
early afternoon amid modest heating of this moist environment.
Convergence along the front will be weak, due to veering within the
warm sector, and large-scale ascent will be modest, but isolated to
widely scattered still appears probable along and ahead of the front
during the afternoon. A few stronger mulitcells capable of hail
and/or damaging wind gusts are possible.
...Northern High Plains/Northern Plains...
A compact shortwave trough is expected to move into the northern
Plains on Tuesday, with another shortwave trough following quickly
in its wake from the northern Rockies into the northern High Plains.
This evolution should lead to a sharpening surface lee trough, with
eventual cyclogenesis resulting in a low over SD. A few
thunderstorms are possible along the lee trough and surface low, but
limited buoyancy and modest shear should temper the overall storm
strength and duration.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY...THE
CAROLINAS...AND THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across the
central/southern Plains into the Middle Missouri Valley, the
Carolinas, and the central Florida Peninsula.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough is forecast to begin the period extended from the
middle OH Valley southward into the central Gulf Coast before
gradually shifting eastward throughout the day, eventually moving
off the Mid-Atlantic coast early Thursday. Enhanced mid-level flow
will be in place throughout the base of this shortwave, stretching
across much of the Southeast early Wednesday before gradually
shifting eastward throughout the day. Primary surface low associated
with this shortwave will begin the period stacked beneath the
mid-level cyclone. This low is expected to gradually occlude, while
secondary cyclogenesis occurs farther east at the triple point. This
triple point low will likely start the day near the central NC/VA
border before then moving northeastward off the VA coast. Cold front
stretching southwestward from this triple point will progress
southeastward throughout the day, moving off the
Mid-Atlantic/Southeast coast by the early afternoon while continuing
slowly southward across the northern FL Peninsula.
Farther west, shortwave ridging will likely be in place from the central/southern Plains into the Mid/Upper MS Valley early
Wednesday. This ridging is expected to gradually shift eastward as a
shortwave trough moves through the northern Plains and flow turns
more zonal across the central Plains. Southwesterly flow aloft will
persist across the southern Plains, but a low-amplitude shortwave
trough is expected to eject out over the southern High Plains during
the late afternoon/early evening.
...Central/Southern Plains into the Mid MO Valley...
A weak cold front is expected to stretch from central NE
southwestward into the northern TX Panhandle where it intersects a
subtle surface low. Strong heating/mixing is anticipated south of
this intersection across the TX Panhandle, with the airmass likely destabilizing by the late afternoon. Low-level convergence near this
front and weak surface low, as well as southward along the
dryline into west TX, may result in isolated thunderstorm
development. Most likely area of initiation is currently expected to
be over the TX Panhandle, where weak ascent attendant to the
low-amplitude shortwave will augment low-level convergence. Modest
shear and high cloud bases are expected to lead to outflow-dominant
storm structures, some of which could produce damaging gusts.
Afternoon thunderstorm development is also anticipated farther north
along the front from eastern NE into western/central KS, with these
storms then gradually tracking eastward with the front into the Mid
MO Valley/eastern KS. Buoyancy will be modest, but shear should be
strong enough to support a few organized storms. Some hail is
possible with early development, but damaging gusts will likely be
the primary severe risk.
Lastly, a strengthening low-level jet and associated warm-air
advection will likely contribute to thunderstorm development from
north-central OK into south-central/southeast KS. Isolated hail is
possible within the strongest cores.
...FL Peninsula...
Cold front stretching southwestward across southeast GA and northern
FL early Wednesday will be the focus for early morning showers and thunderstorms, with the front and attendant showers and
thunderstorms gradually moving south across the FL Peninsula
throughout the day. Ample low-level moisture and moderate buoyancy
are anticipated ahead of the front, helping support the potential
for deep updrafts. Front-parallel deep-layer flow will likely take
storms north of the front, limiting the potential for organization.
Even so, vertical shear should be strong enough for some storm
organization prior to undercutting, with some isolated hail and/or
damaging gusts possible. There is also enough low-level veering to
support a low-probability tornado threat.
...Carolinas...
Modest destabilization is anticipated across the Carolinas ahead of
the slow-moving shortwave trough. Isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon as this wave moves
through. Modest deep-layer shear should promote a predominately
multicellular mode with a few updrafts becoming strong enough to
produce hail and/or damaging gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TEXAS
SOUTH PLAINS ACROSS NORTH/CENTRAL TEXAS AND INTO EAST/SOUTHEAST
TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the Texas South
Plains across north/central Texas and into east/southeast Texas on
Thursday. Isolated severe thunderstorms are also possible across
portions of the Mid Mississippi Valley.
...Southern Plains into the Lower MS Valley...
A southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward
across the Southwest/northern Mexico and into the southern Plains on
Thursday. Strong mid-level flow will likely exist throughout the
base of this trough, spreading eastward across TX and into the Lower
MS Valley ahead of the wave. Surface pattern preceding this
shortwave trough could be complicated by antecedent precipitation
and associated outflow, but the general expectation is for a weak
cold front to extend from southeast KS southwestward across central
OK and the TX South Plains to another surface low over the TX
Trans-Pecos. A warm front is expected to extend southeastward for
this low, separating the upper 60s/low 70s dewpoints across south TX
and the TX Coastal Plains from the lower 60s dewpoints from
west/southwest TX into the Lower MS Valley.
Thunderstorm development appears likely along and north of the warm
front by the early afternoon, supported by moderate warm-air
advection across the warm sector. Isolated hail is possible within
the strongest of these storms. Persistence of these showers and
thunderstorms should preclude the warm front from making substantial
northward progress, with the boundary likely sharpening throughout
the morning and into the afternoon. Strong low-level moisture
advection is anticipated within the warm sector, with upper 60s/low
70s dewpoints reaching into much of central TX/TX Hill Country by
the early afternoon and into southwest TX by the late afternoon.
This ample low-level moisture will result in strong buoyancy
throughout the warm sector. Strengthening mid-level flow is also
anticipated, with the resulting environment capable of severe
thunderstorms.
Initiation appears most likely in the vicinity of the surface low
across southwest TX, with some chance for additional storms near a
secondary surface low over the TX Big Country as well as along the
boundary between these two features. A supercellular mode is
probable, with strong and organized updrafts capable of producing
large to very large hail, strong gusts, and a tornado or two. Late
afternoon development is also possible across southeast NM,
supported by the approaching shortwave trough. Hail and damaging
gust are the main threats with these storms. Some eventual upscale
growth is possible amid both cold pool amalgamation and increasing
large-scale ascent. The resulting convective line would likely move
across north/central TX with a attendant threat for damaging gusts.
Warm-air advection may also result in the development of
thunderstorms across southeast TX. There is some chance these storms
begin developing far enough within the warm sector to still be
surface-based once they mature. This would result in secondary
corridor with slightly higher tornado potential. However, this is a
low predictability scenario, which precludes the need for higher
probabilities with this outlook.
...Mid MS Valley...
Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing over the region
early Thursday morning before continuing northeastward and
weakening. Heating in the wake of this early morning activity is
expected to result in limited convective inhibition and moderate
buoyancy by the afternoon. Convergence along a weak cold front and
associated frontal low may result in thunderstorm development. An
outflow boundary from the morning storms may also exist, providing
another area for low-level convergence and storm initiation.
Moderate westerly flow aloft could support a few stronger storms
capable of large hail, damaging gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible across
portions of the Southeast States and Carolinas, and parts of the
Upper Midwest on Saturday.
...Central Gulf Coast/Southeast vicinity...
An upper trough will spread east across the Southeast U.S. on
Saturday. An accompanying band of enhanced southwesterly mid/upper
level flow will overspread the region ahead of this feature, with
500 mb winds around 50-80 kt indicated in forecast guidance (30-40
kt from 850-700 mb). At the surface, dewpoints from the mid 60s to
the mid 70s F are forecast. Modest midlevel lapse rates atop this
very moist airmass will aid in moderate destabilization (MLCAPE
1500-2500 J/kg). This overall environment will support organized
convection ahead of the upper trough and a southeastward-advancing
cool front.
Convective evolution is still uncertain. It is likely convection
(possibly a linear MCS) will be ongoing Saturday morning in the
vicinity of the central Gulf Coast. This activity should track east
into southern GA/northern FL through the day posing a primary hazard
of damaging gusts. The northward extent of this MCS is uncertain,
but may develop into parts of SC/NC. The evolution of this system
may have impacts on the environment further north across MS/AL and
northern GA through peak heating. Though, additional convection is
still expected to develop by mid afternoon further north ahead of
the advancing cold front.
Given an overall favorable pattern supporting organized convection,
a broad area of severe probabilities is delineated across the
Southeast. A Slight risk (level 2 of 5) has been introduced where
the airmass should be mostly undisturbed ahead of the morning MCS
from the FL Panhandle into parts of SC and southeast NC. A broader
Marginal risk (level 1 of 5) enveloping much of the region to the
north of the Slight risk has been expanded compared to the previous
Day 3 outlook given a favorable environment, but uncertainty
continues.
...Northern Wisconsin/Upper Peninsula vicinity...
A somewhat compact upper shortwave trough within broader
cyclonically curved flow across the northwestern U.S. will move
across the Upper Midwest Saturday afternoon/evening. Enhanced
southwesterly mid/upper flow (around 40-50 kt) will overspread the
region. At the surface a sharp cold front will surge east across MN
into WI and the U.P. of MI from late afternoon into early evening. Boundary-layer moisture will remain modest, with forecast dewpoints
from the upper 50s to near 60 F. Strong heating will allow for
steepening low-level lapse rates and aid in modest destabilization
(MLCAPE to around 1000 J/kg). Effective shear magnitudes around
30-35 kt will support organized storms, and possibly supercells. A
few strong to severe gusts and marginal hail will be the main
concerns with isolated convection through early/mid evening.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1251 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024
Valid 201200Z - 211200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL/EASTERN NEBRASKA...NORTHERN KANSAS...SOUTHWEST IOWA AND
NORTHWEST MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the central Plains
Monday evening into the overnight hours. Additional more isolated
strong to severe storms are possible from the Middle Mississippi
Valley to Lower Michigan through Monday afternoon.
...Synopsis...
A somewhat complex pattern is expected across the Plains to the
upper Great Lakes on Monday. During the morning, an upper shortwave
trough is forecast over the IA vicinity. Convection will likely be
ongoing across parts of the upper MS Valley in association with this
feature as it lifts northeast across WI. Further south, some
guidance is hinting at a possible MCV or outflow over central MO
related to the convective remnants of an intense MCS forecast in the
Day 1/Sun period over KS. Across the central Plains, an area of
broad, enhanced southwesterly mid/upper flow will persist over
NE/KS, though large-scale ascent will remain weak through peak
heating. Capping will likely suppress convection during the
afternoon, and airmass recovery from convection in the Day 1 period
will occur through the daytime hours. A potent lead upper shortwave
trough, emanating from the larger-scale western U.S. upper trough,
will eject into the central High Plains overnight.
At the surface, a broad warm sector with dewpoints in the 60s to
near 70 F will extend east/northeast from the central/southern
Plains to the Mid/Upper MS Valley vicinity. A warm front will lift
north through the day into northern WI/Lower MI. A dryline will
extend south/southwest from northwest OK to southwest TX. Overnight,
surface cyclogenesis will ensue across KS/NE as the upper shortwave
trough approaches the region. A cold front will sharpen and begin to
shift east across central NE/KS late in the period.
...Central Plains to Lower MO Valley...
Severe potential will increase by early Monday evening as the upper
shortwave trough moves into the central Rockies and large-scale
ascent increases. Initial storm development over northeast CO into
southwest NE/northwest KS will pose a risk for damaging gusts and
hail. As a surface low develops east across KS/NE convection will
increase in coverage, particularly over NE. Given timing of
convection (mainly during the nighttime hours) and potential for
linear development as a cold front sharpens and shifts east
overnight, damaging gusts and hail will be the main hazards as
storms approach the MO River by Tuesday morning. The southward
extent of severe potential into KS is a bit uncertain. Strong
capping will likely persist over the southern half of the state.
...Eastern IA into Lower MI...
Convection will likely be ongoing Monday morning. Severe potential
is uncertain during the morning, but any organized storms could pose
a risk of marginally severe hail and locally strong gusts. Guidance
suggests severe potential may increase with eastward extent, and
into the afternoon, from northeast IL into Lower MI as stronger
destabilization will occur ahead of morning activity. Effective
shear magnitudes are forecast to be around 25-30 kt. Meanwhile,
steepening low-level lapse rates, with a mixed boundary layer to
near 850 mb is noted in forecast soundings. Marginal supercells
capable of hail and strong gusts will be possible. If confidence
increases, portions of this area may need higher probabilities in
subsequent outlooks.
...Central MO vicinity...
A somewhat conditional risk is possible across parts of the central
MO vicinity. It is possible that an MCV migrating across the area or
any remnant outflow related to Day 1/Mon activity could focus
thunderstorm development during the late morning into afternoon.
Large-scale ascent will be weak over the area, and deep-layer flow
modest. However, thermodynamic profiles will support marginal hail
and strong gusts if storms develop.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE GREAT PLAINS INTO THE MID-SOUTH...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
central/southern Plains into the Mid-South region on Thursday.
Damaging gusts, hail and a couple of tornadoes will be possible.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms also will be possible across
across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast.
...Synopsis...
Enhanced west/southwesterly flow will spread across the southern
Plains to the Lower MS Valley and Mid-Atlantic vicinity on Thursday.
One upper shortwave impulse is forecast to eject from the southern
Rockies to the Mid-South, while another subtle impulse moves from
the TN Valley vicinity to the Carolinas. To the north, a negatively
tilted compact upper shortwave trough is expected to pivot east from
the northern Great Basin/Rockies to the northern Plains. This will
bring a small but strong 500 mb jet of 70-80 over NE/SD during the evening/overnight. Meanwhile, an upper low and attendant trough
migrating east across Ontario and Quebec will result in height falls
over the Northeast.
At the surface, a cold front is expected to shift east across the
Northeast states through early evening. To the west across the
northern Plains vicinity, lee low development over the
northern/central High Plains will result in increasing southerly
low-level flow across the Plains. This will aid in northward
transport of Gulf moisture, and surface dewpoints are expected to
increase markedly across the southern/central Plains east into the
OH/TN valleys. A surface dryline is forecast to extend southward
from a low in western KS into central TX. Meanwhile, a cold front
will sweep east/southeast across the northern/central Plains, and
into northwest OK during the evening/overnight hours.
...Southern Plains/KS to the Mid-South Vicinity...
A very moist airmass will develop by midday, with surface dewpoints
in the upper 60s to near 70 F common. Steep midlevel lapse rates
atop this very moist boundary layer will foster strong to extreme
instability with MLCAPE from 2500-4500 J/kg evident in forecast
soundings. Thunderstorms may develop across parts of AR into the
Mid-South vicinity by early afternoon in a strong warm advection
regime as a warm front rapidly lifts northward. Low-level shear is
expected to be fairly weak, but supercell wind profiles are depicted
in forecast soundings. This will support storms capable of large
hail and damaging gusts.
Further west, at least isolated convection is expected to develop
along the dryline from west-central KS to near the OK/TX border.
Capping may limit coverage given modest large-scale ascent. However,
given the degree of instability, robust updrafts should be able to
overcome modest capping. Very large hail (near 2.5 inch diameter)
will be possible with these storms in addition to strong gusts. By
late afternoon/early evening, low-level shear is expected to
increase, resulting in enlarged low-level hodographs. A few
tornadoes will be possible with any sustained supercell activity.
Some potential for upscale growth into an MCS will exist from
southeast KS/southwest MO into eastern OK/AR as the low-level jet
increases and via storm outflow consolidation.
...Northern/Central Plains...
Thunderstorms are expected to develop in the vicinity of the
deepening surface low over the Dakotas southward along the east/southeast-progressing cold front. Low-level moisture will
remain modest with northward extent across the Dakotas into western
MN, with higher-quality moisture expected over NE. However, steep
midlevel lapse rates will be present, and contribute to 1000-2000
J/kg MLCAPE. Strong to severe storms producing hail will be possible
initially. Damaging wind potential may increase toward
evening/overnight as a line of convection develops amid strong
frontal forcing.
...KY/TN to the Mid-Atlantic...
A subtle shortwave trough will spread east across the region as
boundary-layer moisture increasing amid strengthening southerly
low-level flow. Clusters of thunderstorms may pose a risk of hail
and gusty winds across parts of KY/TN. With eastward extent into VA
and the Carolinas, thunderstorm coverage will be higher. Clusters of
storms may develop into one or more east/southeast progressing
bands. Deeply-mixed sub-cloud thermodynamic profiles suggest strong
gusts will be possible in addition to isolated hail.
...Northeast...
A surface cold front will shift east across the region during the
day before moving offshore by early evening. Surface dewpoints in
the low 60s and steep midlevel lapse rates will support MLCAPE
values around 1000-2000 J/kg. Low-level flow will remain weak, but
fast mid/upper westerly flow will support elongated/straight
hodographs. Thunderstorms may produce isolated strong gusts and
marginally severe hail in this environment.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST TEXAS TO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and large hail are
possible across the Middle Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valley
vicinity on Friday. Damaging gusts and large to very large hail also
will be possible across parts of southeast Oklahoma and the ArkLaTex
area.
...Synopsis...
Shortwave upper ridging is forecast over the upper Great Lakes and
Ohio Valley early on Friday. To the west, an upper shortwave trough
over the northern Plains will pivot northeast across the Upper
Midwest. This will result in height falls across the Midwest. At the
same time, a surface low over MN will lift north/northeast into
western Ontario. As this occurs, a cold front will develop east
through the period. The front is expected to be oriented from the
eastern Dakotas/lower MO Valley/eastern KS Friday morning, becoming
positioned from western Lower MI to southern IL/MO by Saturday
morning. The southern/western extent of this boundary will stall
over northwest TX into central OK as a weak low develops over
northwest TX. A dryline will extend southward from this low across
central TX.
Across the southern/southeast U.S., upper flow will generally be
westerly, but also around 50 kt at 500 mb. Some guidance suggest
convection may be ongoing across the Mid-South vicinity. A
convectively enhanced MCV associated with this remnant convection
from the Day 1/Thu period could focus thunderstorm potential across
parts of TN into northern portions of MS/AL/GA.
...Midwest...
A seasonally moist airmass (mid 60s to low 70s F dewpoints) will be
in place ahead of the eastward-advancing cold front. Steep midlevel
lapse rates will also overspread the region, aiding in strong
destabilization. Convection will likely be ongoing along the front
Friday morning across central IA into northeast KS/northwest MO. As
this convection spreads east into strong instability, storm
intensification is expected. Damaging gusts will be the primary
hazard given a likely more linear storm mode. With stronger cells
within the line, or any semi-discrete convection that can develop,
large hail will be possible. The timing and eastward extent of
severe potential is a bit uncertain into the evening and some
eastward adjustments to the Slight risk area is possible in
subsequent outlooks.
...Mid-South/TN Valley to GA/SC...
A weak shortwave impulse is forecast to move across the region on
Friday. Some guidance also suggest an MCV related to remnant
convection in the Day 1/Thu period of AR/MS will migrate across the
TN Valley. These features will enhance vertical shear amid a
seasonally moist and unstable airmass. A plume of steep midlevel
lapse rates will also be spread across TN/MS/AL/GA. Elongated
hodographs and marginal supercell wind profiles suggest hail will be
possible with the strongest cells. Damaging gusts also will be
possible given steep low-level lapse rates and a fairly dry EML. If
trends continue, higher severe probabilities may be needed in
subsequent outlooks.
...Southeast OK into the ArkLaTex Vicinity...
Forecast guidance is in good agreement that isolated to widely
scattered storms will develop near the dryline during the late
afternoon/early evening. A very moist airmass (surface dewpoints in
the low/mid 70s F) beneath midlevel lapse rates near 8 C/km will
result in strong instability (MLCAPE near 4000 J/kg). Furthermore,
forecast soundings indicate supercell wind profiles with
long/straight hodographs present. Large to very large hail will be
possible with this activity. With time, one or more cluster of
storms may develop and shift east/southeast during the evening/early
overnight hours, posing a risk of damaging gusts and hail.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN TEXAS INTO
SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO....
...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms, perhaps including a few supercells and a
couple of organizing clusters posing a risk for severe wind and
hail, are possible across much of central into western Texas and
southeastern New Mexico Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening.
...Synopsis...
The westerlies are forecast to remain modestly amplified and
progressive across the northern mid-latitudes of the Pacific into
western North America through this period. Within this regime,
models indicate that large-scale mid-level troughing will shift
inland of the British Columbia and Pacific Northwest coast through
the Canadian and northern U.S. Rockies, while downstream ridging
overspreads the eastern Canadian Prairies and northern U.S. Great
Plains. Farther east, the progression of larger-scale troughing
east of the upper Mississippi Valley may be slower, as one notable
embedded short wave digs southeast of the Upper Midwest toward the
lower Ohio Valley, but a preceding impulse may accelerate
east-northeast of the lower Great Lakes region into the St. Lawrence
Valley. This likely will be accompanied by a weakening surface
cyclone, and trailing reinforcing surges of cooler/drier air through
much of the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Ohio into middle Mississippi
Valleys.
An initial surge of cooler and drier air likely will advance across
the remainder of the Southeast, into the Florida Peninsula and north
central Gulf coast, and later, beneath ridging within weaker
westerlies across the southern mid- and subtropical latitudes,
through the southern Great Plains.
...Texas and portions of adjacent states...
Latest model output, including the NAM in particular, suggests that
the southern Great Plains portion of the lead cold front may become
reinforced by outflow from convection as it spreads across and south
of the Red River Valley early Tuesday. This convection likely will
be initially rooted within lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection,
aided by forcing for ascent associated with at least one mid/upper
perturbation progressing through the larger-scale ridging.
Beneath warm and capping elevated mixed-layer air, daytime heating
to the south of the front will contribute to strengthening
differential heating across the front/outflow, with residual
seasonably moist air to the south of this boundary becoming
characterized by large mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 2000-4000
J/kg. As the initial convection increasingly acquires inflow of
this air, substantive further intensification is probable as it
propagates southward toward the upper Texas/Louisiana coastal plain, accompanied by potential damaging wind gusts.
Upstream, it appears that a trailing perturbation may support
renewed thunderstorm development across parts of the Texas South
Plains and Big Country by mid to late afternoon. Although lower/mid-tropospheric wind fields may be modest in strength,
turning with height beneath stronger flow aloft may be supportive of
supercells initially, accompanied by potential to produce large hail
before consolidating and growing upscale. It appears that this
activity may tend to track southeastward along outflow trailing the
initial convection, accompanied by substantive further
intensification. This may include an evolving mesoscale convective
vortex, strengthening rear-inflow, and cold pool with potentially
sustained strong to severe surface gusts propagating southeastward
and southward toward the Texas Hill Country and through the Edwards
Plateau into Tuesday evening.
It is possible severe wind probabilities may need to be increased a
bit further in later outlooks, as model spread decreases and
potential convective evolution becomes a bit clearer.
Otherwise, isolated supercell storms remain a possibility near the
dryline initially across parts of the Permian Basin.
...Northern Intermountain Region/Rockies...
Models indicate that weak destabilization ahead of the inland
advancing mid-level trough will support increasing thunderstorm
development Tuesday afternoon and evening. The NAM, in particular,
continues to suggest that activity may consolidate across the
mountains of central Idaho into western Montana, where evaporative
cooling within a well-mixed sub-cloud boundary layer may contribute
to downward mixing of 40-50 kt southwesterly lower/mid-tropospheric
flow and a strengthening cold pool. It is possible that strong to
severe surface gusts may spread east of the continental divide
Tuesday evening, even as more weakly unstable inflow begins to
weaken convection.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN MONTANA...WYOMING AND
COLORADO INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE DAKOTAS...NEBRASKA AND
KANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong storms posing a risk for severe hail and wind
appear probable across the northern and central High Plains vicinity
late Wednesday afternoon and evening.
...Synopsis...
Stronger westerlies, with at least a couple of modestly amplified
embedded short waves are forecast to persist across the northern
mid-latitudes of the Pacific into western North America through this
period. Near the leading edge of this regime, large-scale mid-level
troughing appears likely to remain slowly progressive across the
Canadian Prairies and northern U.S. Rockies.
Farther east, a blocking anticyclonic circulation may attempt to
form within larger-scale ridging across the southern Manitoba into
northwestern Ontario/northern Minnesota vicinity, with little
eastward progression of downstream amplified, positively tilted
troughing inland of the Atlantic Seaboard.
In the southern mid- and subtropical latitudes, ridging, initially
centered over central Mexico before retrograding into the Pacific to
the south of Baja, will remain suppressed as low-amplitude mid/upper
troughing advances inland across California/northern Baja into the
Southwest.
Beneath this regime, it still appears that a notable reinforcing
cold front will advance into the Southeast, while stalling and
weakening across the eastern Great Plains. At the same time,
weakening conglomerate convective outflow may be in the process of overspreading lower Texas coastal areas and the lower Rio Grande at
the outset of the period.
Within deepening surface troughing across the High Plains, further boundary-layer moistening is expected, but it still appears that
this will be modest for the time of year across the northern High
Plains.
...Lee of the northern Rockies and Front Range...
Through peak daytime heating, and into Wednesday evening, deep-layer
shear downstream of the mid-level troughing progressing into/across
the northern Rockies is forecast to remain modest to weak. However,
even with the limited boundary-layer moistening (including surface
dew points only reaching mid/upper 50s F), steep
lower/mid-tropospheric lapse rates may contribute to CAPE on the
order of 1000-2000 J/kg, in a narrow corridor along the lee surface
trough with daytime heating.
After storms initiate off the higher terrain, aided by mid/upper
forcing for ascent, they probably will continue to intensify as they
encounter this environment. Consolidating cold pools may support
upscale growing clusters, aided by strengthening southerly 850 mb
flow (in excess of 30 kt) by early evening. This may be accompanied
by increasing potential for strong to severe surface gusts, before
convection weakens in a more stable/stabilizing environment deeper
into the Great Plains later Wednesday evening.
...Texas...
Convective potential for this period remains unclear. Moderate to
strong potential instability may again develop with daytime heating
across the Pecos Valley and Davis Mountains vicinity into the
Edwards Plateau, in the presence of sufficient shear for supercells.
Forcing for ascent, however, remains uncertain, and initiation
through late afternoon may be confined to near the Davis Mountains,
before one or two storms propagate east-southeastward off the higher
terrain. This activity will probably weaken during the evening as
inhibition increases with the loss of daytime heating, but a period
of renewed development might be possible aided by low-level warm
advection across the Edwards Plateau vicinity Wednesday evening.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN COLORADO...WESTERN
KANSAS...WESTERN OKLAHOMA...NORTHWESTERN TEXAS...PARTS OF
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the central and
southern Great Plains Thursday afternoon through Thursday night.
This may include a few supercells initially, before one or two
thunderstorm clusters develop and organize, posing a risk for severe
wind gusts in addition to large hail.
...Synopsis...
If a closed anticyclonic circulation forms within larger-scale
mid/upper ridging across the southern Manitoba into northwestern
Ontario vicinity, models continue to indicate that this will be
short-lived. It appears that the ridging will begin to gradually
become suppressed southeastward across the remainder of northwestern
Ontario and the upper Great Lakes region during this period, as a
significant short wave impulse, embedded within a still slowly
progressive upstream trough, pivots north of the international
border through the eastern Canadian Prairies. This is forecast to
be accompanied by continuing surface cyclogenesis across the
northern Canadian Prairies, but an initial cold front trailing to
its southwest may weaken across the northern U.S. Great Plains.
Downstream larger-scale mid-level troughing likely will remain
amplified across the Atlantic Seaboard, but it may slowly begin to
accelerate eastward, as one embedded short-wave turns across
southeastern Quebec toward the Canadian Maritimes, while another
perturbation digs across the Mid Atlantic coast. Beneath and
trailing this regime, an influx of seasonably mild/dry low-level air
will be maintained across most areas east of the Mississippi Valley.
In the southern mid- to subtropical latitudes, mid/upper ridging is
forecast to remain suppressed, with broad weak troughing lingering
over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and Florida Peninsula.
Upstream, models indicate at least a couple of weak short waves will
remain slowly progressive within weak zonal flow across southern California/northern Baja into the southern Great Plains. It appears
this will include one advancing across and east of the southern
Rockies Thursday through Thursday night.
Beneath this regime, a seasonably moist boundary-layer will remain
largely confined to the northwestern Gulf coastal plain
northwestward into deepening surface troughing to the lee of the
southern Rockies. Much of this region will have been impacted by
considerable convection during preceding days. However, models
continue to indicate that a plume of warm elevated mixed-layer air
will slow advect to the east of the southern Rockies during the day
Thursday, and contribute to a strengthening lower/mid-tropospheric
baroclinic zone somewhere to the lee of the Front Range/Sangre de
Cristo Mountains into northwest Texas by late Thursday afternoon.
Along and to the west/southwest of this zone, steep lapse rates may
contribute to large CAPE on the order of 2000-4000 J/kg with daytime
heating.
...Central/Southern Great Plains...
Early period warm advection driven convection preceding the eastward
advecting elevated mixed-layer air could still be a complication
factor with regard to destabilization and subsequent convective
development through the remainder of Thursday and Thursday night.
However, the remnant cold front across parts of the middle Missouri
Valley, the terrain near/east of the Front Range and Sangre de
Cristo Mountains and a sharpening dryline across the southern High
Plains may all become a focus for thunderstorm initiation by late
Thursday afternoon.
In the presence of weak (and modest to weakly sheared) westerly
deep-layer mean flow, storms will spread eastward and become most
numerous in advance of the short wave progressing to the east of the
Rockies. The baroclinic zone near the leading edge of the warmer
elevated mixed-layer air may provide a focus for one or two upscale
growing and organizing clusters. Given the environment, this could
include the evolution of increasingly prominent mesoscale convective
vortices, strengthening mid-level rear inflow and potential for
sustained strong to severe surface gusts with southeastward
propagating cold pools into Thursday night.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...MUCH OF CENTRAL/NORTHERN
AND EASTERN TEXAS...ADJACENT PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN ARKANSAS AND
WESTERN LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
One or two organized clusters of storms may evolve by Friday morning
into afternoon and pose a risk for severe wind and hail continuing
across parts of the southern Great Plains into lower Mississippi
Valley, Texas Gulf coast and Deep South Texas by Friday evening.
Additional strong to severe thunderstorm development is possible to
the east of the southern Rockies.
...Synopsis...
Downstream of a lower/mid-tropospheric cyclone forecast to elongate
eastward from the northern Canadian Prairies toward western Hudson
Bay, it appears that initially prominent mid-level ridging will
continue to become suppressed southeastward across Quebec and the
lower Great Lakes region. Farther east, amplified mid-level
troughing may slowly shift east of the Atlantic Seaboard, but models
indicate that a seasonably dry/stable air mass will be maintained
across most areas east of the Mississippi Valley through this
period. Another surge of cooler and drier air may continue to
slowly spread through the upper Mississippi Valley, mid Missouri
Valley and central Great Plains.
In the southern mid-latitudes, generally weak zonal flow will
prevail to the north of suppressed mid/upper ridging across the
subtropics. Inland of the California/Baja coast into the lower
Mississippi Valley, it appears that this regime will include at
least a couple of embedded low-amplitude waves and perhaps one or
two convectively generated perturbations.
Seasonably high boundary-layer moisture content is forecast to
generally remain confined to the southern Great Plains into the
northwestern Gulf coast and lower Rio Grande vicinity, but modest
low-level moistening is possible ahead of the lead wave, across the
central Great Plains into middle Mississippi Valley by 12Z Sunday.
Beneath warm elevated mixed-layer air continuing to advect eastward
into the southern Great Plains, moderate to large CAPE may once
again develop across much of Texas, particularly to the east of the
South Plains.
...South Central U.S...
Latest model output is not much clearer concerning potential
convective evolution for Friday through Friday night. A large
portion of the southern Great Plains vicinity may be impacted by
convection today through tonight, and it remains uncertain how much
of a stabilizing influence this may for Friday.
In general, models continue to suggest that a prominent
lower/mid-tropospheric mesoscale convective vortex may evolve and be
in the process of migrating eastward near/north of the Red River
Valley by 12Z Friday. This may be preceded by weak low/mid-level
warm advection driven storms across parts of eastern Oklahoma into
the Ark-La-Tex vicinity, with renewed convective development also
occurring in a trailing warm advection regime across northwest
Texas. Much more uncertain is the extent of associated convective
outflow and continuing convective development potentially surging
southward across north central/central and/or southeast Texas.
Convection allowing output is rather diverse. Some model output
continues to suggest potential for the northwest Texas convection to
grow upscale and organize along the modifying trailing flank of the
initial convective outflow during the day. There would seem to be
potential for this activity to acquire inflow of moist air
characterized by large CAPE as it propagates through south
central/possibly southeast Texas, but it also possible that warming
elevated mixed-layer air may prove inhibitive.
It is also possible that convection on the leading edge of the
initial forward propagating outflow could reintensify in a less
strongly capped, and destabilizing environment with heating, across
the mid/upper Texas and Louisiana coastal plain. Destabilization
ahead of the initial MCV may also become sufficient to support
strong thunderstorm development as it migrates across eastern
Oklahoma into Arkansas during the day.
Regardless of the particular evolution, stronger storms will pose a
risk for severe wind and hail, given the conditional/potential
convective instability. Deep-layer flow and shear will remain
modest, but upscale growing clusters may include evolving mesoscale
vortices accompanied strengthening rear inflow with potential to
produce sustained strong to severe surface gusts.
...Lee of Southern Rockies...
Downstream of a low-amplitude wave progressing into the Southwest,
moistening easterly upslope flow may become characterized by modest
CAPE in excess of 1000 J/jg by early Friday evening. Although shear
may be modest as well, scattered thunderstorm development off the
Front Range and Sangre de Cristo Mountains could intensify while
spreading into the adjacent plains, and pose at least some risk for
severe hail and wind before weakening Friday evening.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong storms, including a few supercells, may develop
across the central and southern High Plains Saturday afternoon,
before evolving into organizing clusters while spreading into the
adjacent Great Plains through Saturday evening. These may pose a
risk for severe wind, hail and perhaps a couple of brief tornadoes.
...Synopsis...
Upper ridging is forecast to extend from the TN Valley into
southwest Quebec early Saturday morning before then gradually
shifting eastward towards the East Coast and deamplifying. A pair of
shortwave troughs are expected to be over the central CONUS in the
wake of this ridging, with the southernmost shortwave likely
augmented by convection over the southern Plains on Friday. This
southern shortwave trough is forecast to progress
eastward/northeastward across the Mid-South and into the TN Valley.
Some phasing between this southern shortwave trough and the more
substantial northern-stream shortwave trough as it moves across the
Canadian Prairie Provinces/northern Plains into Quebec/Upper
Midwest. Broad surface troughing will precede both of these waves,
with a modest surface low moving from MO across the OH Valley.
Zonal flow is expected across much of the Plains in the wake of
these shortwave troughs, with another shortwave trough forecast to
move from the West Coast into the Intermountain West. A
low-amplitude shortwave trough is also expected to move across
northern Mexico and into West Texas Saturday afternoon/evening.
...Central/Southern High Plains...
A moist airmass will remain over the central and southern Plains,
with advection into the central/southern High Plains expected as lee
troughing sharpens throughout the day. Strong heating is
anticipated, which will work in tandem with increasing low-level
moisture to destabilize the airmass. As a result, afternoon
thunderstorm development is possible along the length of the lee
trough, with the highest coverage expected over eastern CO and far
west TX. High-based, outflow-dominant storm structures are
anticipated, with at least some chance for organization into one or
more convective lines. This appears most likely across eastern CO
into western KS, but could occur farther south as well. Large hail
is possible with the initial more cellular development, but a
relatively quick transition to damaging gusts is anticipated given
the expected outflow-dominant structures. Veered low-level flow
should limit the tornado potential across much of the region except
in northeast CO and southeast NM/TX Trans-Pecos where the greatest
potential for southeasterly surface winds exists.
...MS Valley into Southeast TX and the Southeast States...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing early Saturday morning over the
Mid to Lower MS Valley, ahead of the convectively augmented
shortwave trough expected to be progressing through the region. This
shortwave is forecast to progress gradually northeastward into the
Lower OH Valley while additional thunderstorms develop along the southeastward/eastward-progressing outflow from southeast TX into AL
and MS. Moist but weakly sheared airmass could support multicell
structures with updrafts occasionally strong enough to produce
water-loaded downbursts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the northern and
central Plains into the Upper Midwest on Sunday.
...Northern/Central Plains into the Upper Midwest...
A fast-moving, low-amplitude shortwave trough is forecast to move
from the Intermountain West through the northern/central Plains and
into the Upper Midwest on Sunday. Lee surface troughing will sharpen
ahead of this shortwave, with cyclogenesis anticipated across the
western Dakotas Sunday morning. This low is then forecast to
progress northeastward across ND and into far northwestern Ontario.
A cold front attendant to this low will push eastward/southeastward
across the northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest. Southern
extent of this front will likely stall in the NE/KS border vicinity,
with secondary cyclogenesis over eastern CO and associated strong
southerly low-level flow limiting its southward progress.
Moisture advection across the Plains is expected to bring low 60s
dewpoints in the Dakotas, with mid 60s across NE and upper 60s
across KS. Cold mid-level temperatures and associated steep
mid-level lapse rates will advect into the region in tandem with the approaching shortwave. The resulting combination of
low-level moisture, steep mid-level lapse rates, and diurnal heating
will support airmass destabilization and moderate buoyancy ahead of
the cold front. Thunderstorms are expected to develop quickly along
this front during the afternoon, likely beginning across western ND
before spreading southward. Given the linear forcing along the cold
front, quick upscale growth appears likely, although there could be
a minimum in thunderstorm coverage across SD, resulting two distinct
convective lines. The northern line is expected to move quickly
across ND and northern SD and into MN. Large hail is possible early
while development is more cellular, with damaging gusts more likely
thereafter. Moderate to strong southerly flow will likely precede
this line, supporting looping low-level hodographs and at least some
limited potential for a tornado or two within the line.
Greater buoyancy is anticipated with the southern line, as well as
higher storm bases, contributing to the potential for stronger
outflow and an increased potential for a forward-propagating
convective line. Some gusts over 65 kt appear possible as the line
progresses quickly eastward across NE. Thunderstorm intensity should
gradually diminish with eastern extent given less low-level moisture
and nocturnal stabilization.
...KS into Southwest TX and Western/Central OK...
A convective line may be ongoing across western/central OK early
Sunday morning, but predictability of the intensity and location of
the line is low, owing to the mesoscale processes that will dominant
its development. There is some chance the line continues
southeastward into TX, with potential to reintensify as it
encounters the moist and destabilizing airmass. However, limited
predictability precludes delineating any probabilities across
central/east TX.
Isolated thunderstorms are also possible during the afternoon
across the southern High Plains along the dryline. Large-scale
forcing for ascent will nebulous and mid-level temperatures will be
warm, limiting overall coverage. Even so, strong heating and
moderate low-level convergence along the dryline could still result
in convective initiation. Any storms that do develop could produce
large hail and damaging gusts.
...OH/TN Valleys into the Southeast...
Farther east, northeastward progression of a weakening shortwave
trough and associated surface low will aid in thunderstorm
development across the OH Valley. Airmass destabilization is also
anticipated across much of the Southeast, with afternoon
thunderstorm development likely, particularly along the Gulf Coast
where the sea breeze will focus development. Weak shear should
mitigate overall storm strength in both areas.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE OZARK PLATEAU AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from much of
the Mississippi Valley into the Ozark Plateau and southern Plains on
Monday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Predominantly zonal flow is expected to be in place over the central
CONUS early Monday morning, ahead of shortwave trough expected to
progress from the Pacific Northwest into the northern High Plains.
One or more vorticity maxima could exist from OK into the Upper
Midwest, generated by overnight MCS activity. The most substantial
overnight MCS is expected to move across NE, with the vorticity
maximum associated with this activity likely near the Mid MO Valley
vicinity. Another MCV could be over southeast OK/Arklatex vicinity. Additionally, thunderstorms may be ongoing across central OK early
Monday morning.
A warm and moist airmass will likely be in place from the
central/southern Plains into Lower/Mid MS Valley, but the lack of
notable shortwave troughs will result in mesoscale features, such as
the previously mentioned vorticity maxima, acting as the primary
impetus for thunderstorm development. Afternoon thunderstorm
initiation currently appears most likely across southern WI and
northern IL, downstream of the Mid MO Valley MCV. Moderate buoyancy
and vertical shear across this region could support a few strong to
severe storms.
More uncertainty exists farther south from central/southern MO into
southern OK and the Arklatex (and potentially as far south as
southeast TX). A majority of the CAM guidance has thunderstorm
activity in this area, with the early morning storms over central OK
gradually strengthening as they move southeastward where ample
low-level moisture will support strong buoyancy. Given the linear
storm mode, damaging gusts will be the primary severe threat.
Limited predictability of this evolution merits keeping severe
probabilities low with this forecast. Isolated severe thunderstorms
are also possible along the dryline from western OK into the Edwards Plateau/western TX Hill Country. Any mature convection along the
dryline should be supercellular, with a conditional threat for very
large hail and damaging gusts.
A surface low is expected to move northeastward across the northern
Plains late Monday night through early Tuesday morning. A cold front
will sweep southeastward in its wake, supporting isolated
thunderstorm development. Limited buoyancy should mitigate the
overall severe potential.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDDLE
MISSOURI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to occasionally severe thunderstorms are possible from the
Upper Midwest into the Middle/Lower Missouri Valley on Tuesday.
...Upper MS Valley into the Mid MO Valley...
A shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly eastward across the northern/central Plains into the Upper/Mid MS Valley, becoming
increasingly negatively tilted as it does. Primary surface low
associated with this shortwave is expected to be over central
Saskatchewan early Tuesday, but secondary low is anticipated at the
triple point. This secondary low is forecast to move from the
ND/SD/MN border intersection vicinity eastward across central MN and
northern WI while an attendant cold front sweeps southeastward
across the Upper and Mid MS Valleys.
Much of the guidance has upper 60s dewpoints in place ahead of this
front, helping to support moderate buoyancy across the Upper MS
Valley despite limited heating (i.e. highs only in the mid to upper
70s). Slightly greater buoyancy is possible farther south in from
southeast NE/southern IA into northeast KS/northwest MO where
stronger daytime heating is possible (i.e. highs in the mid 80s).
Thunderstorm development is anticipated as the approaching cold
front impinges on this low-level moisture and buoyancy. Limited
buoyancy and more meridional deep-layer flow will likely temper the
severe potential across the Upper MS Valley with a multicellular,
anafrontal storm mode most likely. Some isolated damaging gusts
and/or hail is still possible. Greater severe potential is possible
across the Mid MO valley, where stronger buoyancy and more zonal/boundary-parallel deep-layer shear is anticipated. An
initially more cellular mode is possible, with large hail as the
primary severe risk. A relatively quick transition to a more linear
mode is likely, with damaging gusts becoming the primary risk.
...KS/OK..
A surface low will likely be over the southwest KS/northwest OK
vicinity early Tuesday morning. This low may shift gradually
northeastward while another low develops farther south over
northwest TX where strong diurnal heating and southwesterly
low-level flow will help push temperatures over 100. Modest
troughing will extend between these two lows during the
afternoon/evening.
The influence of the front will be much less across OK and KS versus
areas farther north. Instead, convergence along the troughing
connecting the two surface lows and strong heating may be enough to
over the capping. Mid-level temperatures will be quite warm (i.e.
from 12 to 14 deg C at 700 mb), but if convective initiation is
realized, ample low-level moisture will support robust updrafts
capable of large to very large hail and damaging gusts. Uncertainty
regarding initiation precludes anything but 5% hail/wind
probabilities with this outlook.
...Elsewhere...
One or more convectively generated vorticity maxima are possible
across the eastern CONUS, including one over the Mid MS Valley and
another over the Mid-South early Tuesday. Thunderstorm development
is anticipated along and ahead of these maxima during the afternoon
as the airmass destabilizes, but weak shear should keep the severe
potential low.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EASTERN LOWER MI AND THE UPPER OH VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible along a eastward-progressing cold front
from the Upper Great Lakes into the Ohio and Tennessee Valley.
Isolated damaging gusts are possible, particularly in eastern Lower
Michigan the the Upper OH Valley
...Lower MI and the OH Valley..
A mid-latitude cyclone is forecast to be over central/southern Saskatchewan/Manitoba early Wednesday morning, with troughing
associated with the cyclone stretching across the Upper Midwest into
the Lower OH Valley. A shortwave trough is expected to move quickly
through the base of this cyclone, from the northern Plains into the
Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes with another closed mid-level
circulation developing over the Upper Great Lakes/eastern Ontario
late Wednesday evening/early Thursday morning. Strong mid-level flow
will accompany this shortwave, spreading into the Mid MS Valley and
OH Valley Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Evolution of this shortwave trough will encourage a more eastward
progression of a triple-point surface low expected to be in the
western Upper MI vicinity early Wednesday. A cold front will likely
extend southward from this low through central IL and southern MO As
the surface low moves eastward into central/eastern Ontario, the
associated front will progress eastward across MI and much of the TN
and OH Valleys. A moist low-level airmass will precede this front,
with dewpoints ranging from the low 70s from the Mid-South into
western KY and far southern IN to the mid 60s across much of Lower
MI and the OH Valley. Surface temperatures could reach in the upper
70s/low 80s ahead of the front, combining with the low-level
moisture to support moderate buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around 1000
J/kg). Moderate vertical shear is anticipated as well, with around
30 kt of deep-layer shear possible as the mid-level flow increases
over the region. Thunderstorm are likely along and ahead of this
front, with the moderate buoyancy and shear supporting the potential
for a few strong to severe storms capable of damaging gusts.
...Lower MS Valley across the TX Coastal Plains into the TX Hill
Country...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing early Wednesday morning in the
Arklatex vicinity, with continued southeastward motion into the
Lower MS Valley likely as the storms gradually weaken. Outflow from
these storms could provide the impetus for additional thunderstorm
development during the afternoon from the Lower MS Valley across the
TX Coastal Plains into the TX Hill Country, within a strongly
buoyant but weakly sheared airmass. Some severe is possible, with outflow-dominant storm structures contributing to the potential for
damaging gusts. However, uncertainty regarding convective evolution
of the early morning storms and resultant uncertainty regarding the
strength and location of its associated outflow as well as expected
limited coverage precludes introducing any probabilities with this
outlook.
...Upper Midwest...
Afternoon thunderstorm development is anticipated across the region,
supported by cold mid-level temperatures and large-scale ascent
associated with the mid-latitude cyclone drifting into the region.
Most updrafts will likely be shallow, but a few deeper updrafts
could result in small hail and a damaging gust or two. Severe
coverage is currently expected to be less than 5%.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
EAST-CENTRAL INTO SOUTHEAST FL PENINSULA....
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are anticipated along an expansive cold front from the
Northeast into the Southeast and Lower Mississippi Valley as well
over portions of the southern High PLains and the Florida Peninsula.
Isolated severe thunderstorms are most likely across the
east-central and southeast Florida Peninsula.
...Synopsis...
A mature mid-latitude cyclone will likely be over far northwestern
Ontario early Thursday before then progressing southeastward into
the Upper Great Lakes throughout the day. During this same period,
upper ridging is forecast to build from the Southwest and southern
Plains into the Pacific Northwest. A belt of enhanced
westerly/northwesterly flow will exist between these two features,
extending from the northern Plains through the Mid MS and OH Valley.
At the surface, a cold front is expected to extend southward from a
low over eastern Ontario across western NY and eastern PA before
then arcing more southwestward along the central and southern
Appalachians and then more westward across the Southeast and into
central TX.
...Northeast/Mid-Atlantic...
Northern/eastern portion of this front is expected to remain
progressive, moving off the Northeast and northern Mid-Atlantic
coast by early Friday morning. Mid-level temperatures across the
region preceding the front will be warm, with associated poor
mid-level lapse rates. Even so, dewpoints in the upper 60s will help
support modest buoyancy and the potential for thunderstorms along
and ahead of the front. Much of the stronger mid-level flow will be
displaced west of the front, keeping vertical shear modest and
limiting storm organization.
...Southeast into the Southern Plains...
Southern/western portion of front is expected to be less
progressive, only making modest southerward push across TX and the
Southeast while becoming increasingly diffuse. Isolated
thunderstorms are possible ahead of this front, particularly from GA
into NC. A secondary push of continental air will likely become a
more defined frontal zone from OK into the Mid-South/TN Valley, with
some chance for afternoon/evening thunderstorm development ahead of
this front from the TX Panhandle into central OK. A few stronger
storms are possible, but weak shear is currently expected to limit
severe potential.
...Florida Peninsula...
Sea-breeze convergence is forecast to result in thunderstorms across
central and eastern portions of the FL Peninsula Thursday afternoon.
Moderate buoyancy, supported in part by relatively cold mid-level
temperatures (i.e. around -8 to -9 deg C at 500 mb), could support a
few stronger storms capable of hail and/or damaging gusts. Highest
severe coverage is anticipated from the east-central into southeast
FL Peninsula.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHWEST/SOUTH-CENTRAL NE AND NORTHWEST/NORTH-CENTRAL KS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from the central High Plains into
the central Plains on Friday.
...Synopsis...
Upper troughing is forecast to extend from the Canadian Prairie
Provinces southeastward off the Northeast Coast early Friday
morning, anchored by a pair of closed lows, one over central Saskatchewan/Manitoba and the other Lake Huron. This troughing is
expected to persist throughout much of the period, while upper
ridging builds from the southern Plains into the Pacific Northwest.
Enhanced northwesterly flow aloft will exist between these two
features, extending from the northern Rockies through the Upper/Mid
MS and OH Valleys and into the Northeast.
At the surface, a cold front will likely extend from a low over
southern New England southward off the East Coast before then arcing
more southwestward and back onshore from coastal NC into central GA.
An increasingly diffuse frontal boundary will extend from central GA
westward across the Southeast and into northeast TX. Portion of this
front extending from the Carolinas in GA is forecast to progress
gradually southeastward. Farther west, a sharpening lee trough and strengthening low to mid-level southerly flow will contribute to
low-level moisture advection across the central and southern Plains.
As a result of this moisture return, the western portion of the
aforementioned front will become an effective warm front, shifting
quickly northward/northeastward across OK and KS.
...Central High Plains/Central Plains into Mid/Lower MO Valley...
Afternoon dewpoints are expected to reach the upper 50s/low 60s just
east of the lee trough in far eastern CO, southwest NE, and western
KS, with mid 60s dewpoints likely farther east into more of KS.
Strong heating is anticipated across the region, with convective
inhibition eroding by the late afternoon. Low-level convergence
along the dryline, combined with glancing large-scale ascent
attendant to a low-amplitude shortwave trough moving through the
northern periphery of the ridge, is expected to result in convective
initiation over the far eastern CO/southwest NE/western KS vicinity.
High-based, outflow-dominant storm structures are anticipated, with
the potential for cold pool amalgamation and upscale growth into a forward-propagating MCS. Hail is possible with the early
development, but damaging gusts should quickly become the primary
severe threat. Tornado potential is expected to be low, owing
largely to the high-based, outflow-dominant storm structure, but
southeasterly surface winds and ambient vorticity along the warm
front could still result in a tornado or two.
Additional thunderstorm development is possible during the evening
to the east of the convective line (i.e. eastern KS into south-central/southeast NE), supported by a strengthening low-level
jet and resultant warm-air advection. Steep mid-level lapse rates,
and resultant moderate buoyancy, combined with moderate deep-layer
vertical shear, could support organized storms capable of large
hail.
...Southern High Plains...
Similar afternoon scenario is anticipated here as areas farther
north, with afternoon thunderstorm initiation likely along the lee
trough once the airmass destabilizes. Coverage and intensity may be
slightly less than areas farther north, mostly as a result of weaker westerly/northwesterly flow aloft and likely greater convective
inhibition. Damaging wind gusts are primary risk.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN KANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from the central and southern High
Plains into the central Plains on Friday.
...Central and southern High Plains east to the Mid-Missouri
Valley...
As weak short-wave troughing embedded within west-northwesterly flow
aloft crosses the Intermountain West and begins to emerge into the
High Plains, weak central Plains cyclogenesis is expected. This
will help draw a return of low-level moisture (60s dewpoints)
northward into Kansas and Nebraska, near and south of an evolving
Nebraska warm front.
Afternoon heating of the moistening low-level airmass will result in
moderate destabilization, with greater mixing westward toward the
High Plains resulting in a deep boundary layer. Isolated storms
should initiate near a lee trough/dryline, from Nebraska southward
to northeastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, spreading
eastward with time and -- due to cold pool generation -- possibly
growing upscale into one or more clusters of storms. Damaging wind
gusts would be the primary severe risk with this convection.
Additional storm development may occur farther east in Nebraska,
near the warm front, as a south-southwesterly low-level jet evolves
beginning in the early evening. Initial storm development here
would likely be supercellular, given moderately strong mid-level west-northwesterlies atop the low-level southerlies yielding
favorable shear for organized/rotating storms. While a tornado
would be possible -- particularly with a storm evolving near the
warm front, damaging winds and, locally, hail, would be the more
likely severe-weather risks. With time, this convection may also
grow upscale, possibly merging with a eastward-moving cluster of
ongoing convection and then growing further upscale, spreading
across the Mid-Missouri Valley overnight. Storms would eventually
weaken, due to thermodynamic deficiencies east of the Valley, but
modest severe risk may extend as far east as southwestern Iowa and
western Missouri.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE OZARKS AND MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms, capable of hail and strong wind gusts, will
be possible on Saturday afternoon and evening from the southern and
central Plains eastward into the Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley.
...Southern and Central Plains...
West-northwesterly mid-level flow will be in place across much of
the central U.S. on Saturday. A moist and unstable airmass is
forecast by afternoon from the plains of eastern Colorado eastward
across much of Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Moderate to strong
instability will likely be in place across much of this moist
airmass by mid to late afternoon. Although large-scale ascent will
be limited, thunderstorm development will be possible in areas that
heat up the most, and in areas with maximized low-level convergence.
These locations will favor residual outflow boundaries. Additional
convection is expected to develop in the evening as low-level flow
increases. At this time, HRRR forecast soundings across much of
southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma Saturday afternoon have MLCAPE
peaking in the 1500 to 3000 J/kg range. These forecast soundings
have moderate deep-layer shear and steep enough lapse rates for an
isolated severe threat. The most likely area for hail would be in
eastern Colorado, where mid-level lapse rates could exceed 8 C/km.
Isolated severe wind gusts will be possible from the eastern plains
of Colorado eastward into the Kansas and northern Oklahoma, where
low-level lapse rates are forecast to be steep during the late
afternoon and early evening. Any threat could persist into the mid
evening, with cell clusters that have access to locally stronger
instability.
...Ozarks and Mid Mississippi Valley...
Flow will be from the west-northwest at mid-levels on Saturday from
the Ozarks into the mid Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a moist
and unstable airmass is forecast by afternoon across the southern
half of Missouri into much of Arkansas. Thunderstorm development
will be possible Saturday afternoon along a gradient of instability
in southern or central Missouri, although there is uncertainty
concerning the location of the associated boundary. Thunderstorms
are expected to develop along or near this boundary and move
southeastward across the Ozarks and mid Mississippi during the late
afternoon and early evening. HRRR forecast soundings across southern
Missouri around 00Z/Sunday have MLCAPE in the 2000 to 2500 J/kg
range, 0-6 km near 35 knots and 700 to 500 mb lapse rates around 7.5
C/km. This environment would be favorable for supercells with hail,
with the potential conditional upon storm mode. Some model forecasts
suggest that an east-to-west corridor of enhanced low-level
convergence will develop during the early evening, with storms
becoming linear quickly. This would favor an isolated wind-damage
threat. Any severe threat is expected to diminish in the mid to late
evening.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...AND INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms with severe gusts and hail, will be possible
on Sunday across the southern Plains and central High Plains, and in
northern parts of the Intermountain West.
...Southern Plains and Central High Plains...
An upper-level ridge will be in place across the Rockies on Sunday,
as surface high pressure builds southward into the Great Plains. An
associated front is forecast to move southward across Oklahoma to
near the Red River. Moderate instability appears likely to develop
in the vicinity of the front from southwestern Oklahoma westward
into west Texas and the southern Texas Panhandle. Isolated to
scattered thunderstorm development is expected near the front during
the afternoon. Although large-scale ascent is forecast to be weak,
steep low-level lapse rates may support a marginal threat for strong
wind gusts around peak heating. Hail could also occur in parts of
west Texas.
Further northwest into northeastern New Mexico and east-central
Colorado, scattered thunderstorms will likely develop in the higher
terrain during the afternoon. These storms will move slowly eastward
into the lower elevations during the late afternoon and early
evening, where model forecasts show a north-to-south corridor of
instability. Along this corridor, forecast soundings suggest that
lapse rates will be steep, and that deep-layer shear will be strong
enough for a marginal severe threat. Hail and strong wind gusts will
be the primary threats.
...Snake River Valley...
A shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward across the Pacific
Northwest on Sunday, as a surface low deepens near the Great Salt
Lake. To the north of the surface low, an east-to-west axis of
maximized low-level moisture is forecast across southern Idaho,
where some models develop a small pocket of moderate instability by
afternoon. As surface temperature warm, thunderstorms are expected
to develop across the Snake River Valley of southeastern Idaho.
Forecast soundings over this area at 21Z on Sunday have MLCAPE in
the 1000 to 1200 J/kg range, 0-6 km shear around 35 knots, and
700-500 mb lapse rates near 8 C/km. This could be enough for
marginally severe wind gusts and hail during the late afternoon and
early evening.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms with large hail and severe wind gusts will be
possible on Monday in parts of the central and northern High Plains.
Marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible in parts of the
southern High Plains and Southeast.
...High Plains...
A shortwave trough, and an associated cold front, are forecast to
move eastward across the central and northern High Plains on Monday.
Ahead of the trough and cold front, a north-to-south corridor of
maximized low-level moisture will be in place by afternoon from
northern Nebraska into the western Dakotas. As a surface low deepens
across the central High Plains, low-level convergence is forecast to
increase ahead of the front. This, combined with large-scale ascent
associated with the trough, will likely support scattered
thunderstorm development during the mid to late afternoon from
western Nebraska northward into the western Dakotas. Along and near
the moist axis, forecast soundings near Rapid City, SD at
00Z/Tuesday suggest MLCAPE will peak in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range,
moderate deep-layer shear will exist and 700-500 mb lapse rates will
be steep. This environment should be favorable for supercells with
isolated large hail. Also, forecast soundings have nearly dry
adiabatic lapse rates in the low-levels. This could contribute to a
potential for severe wind gusts with the stronger storms.
Further south into the southern High Plains, a north-to-south
corridor of instability is forecast to be in place by afternoon. As
surface temperatures warm along this corridor, scattered
thunderstorms will likely develop from parts of eastern New Mexico
into west Texas. Although instability on Monday across much of the
southern High Plains is not forecast to be as strong as in areas
further to north, moderate deep-layer shear and steep low-level
lapse rates are forecast suggesting that a marginal severe threat
could develop during the late afternoon and early evening. Hail and
strong wind gusts will be the primary threats.
...Southeast...
An upper-level trough is forecast to move across the southern and
central Appalachians on Monday, as a cold front advances southward
across the Southeast. The front is forecast to be positioned from
southern Alabama into southern Georgia by afternoon. Along and south
of the boundary, warming surface temperatures and increasing
low-level convergence is expected to result in scattered
thunderstorm development. Surface dewpoints in the low to mid 70s F
and steep low-level lapse rates should support a marginal
wind-damage threat. Some forecast soundings have inverted-V
signatures near the front Monday afternoon, which would contribute
to the potential for severe wind gusts.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms with marginally severe wind gusts and hail,
will be possible on Tuesday across parts of the southern Plains,
central High Plains and upper Mississippi Valley.
...Southern Plains...
A slow-moving shortwave trough will move eastward across the
southern Plains on Tuesday. At the surface, upslope easterly flow
will be in place across a moist airmass over much of Texas. Model
forecasts suggest that a cluster of storms could be already going by
morning across parts of west-central Texas. As surface temperature
warm and instability develops across west and southwest Texas, it
appears the storms will develop south and southwestward into the
stronger instability. The models are in fairly good agreement
concerning instability, with MLCAPE forecast to peak in the 1200 to
2500 J/kg range. In addition, NAM forecast soundings at 21Z on
Tuesday from Lubbock to Midland have 0-6 km shear around 40 knot
owing mostly to speed shear above 700 mb. Low-level flow is forecast
to be relatively weak suggesting that storm mode could remain
multicellular in spite of stronger shear aloft. Isolated large hail
and a few marginally severe gust will be the primary threats.
...Central High Plains...
Mid-level flow is forecast to be anticyclonic and northwesterly on
Tuesday across the central Rockies. As surface temperatures warm
during the day, thunderstorms will likely develop in the higher
terrain of southern and central Colorado. The storms are expected to
move east-southeastward into the lower elevations during the
afternoon, where MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 1000 to 1200 J/kg
range. Although forecast soundings suggest that 0-6 km shear will
only be in the 20 to 25 knot range in southern and central Colorado,
low-level lapse rates will likely be very steep in some areas. This
could support a few marginally severe wind gusts. Hail will also
possible. The threat should be concentrated near peak heating.
...Upper Mississippi Valley...
An upper-level trough, and an associated cold front, is forecast to
move eastward into the upper Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Just
ahead of the front, surface dewpoints will likely be near 60 F. As
surface temperatures warm during the day, a narrow corridor of
instability is expected from northeast Iowa into western Wisconsin,
where MLCAPE could peak around 1000 J/kg. In addition, forecast
soundings in the late afternoon from northwest Iowa into southeast
Minnesota have 0-6 km shear near 50 knots. This could be enough for
an isolated wind-damage and hail threat, especially with storms that
rotate. However, lapse rates are not forecast to be steep. Cells
that develop in areas with insufficient surface heating could remain unorganized.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with large hail and severe wind gusts, and
perhaps a tornado or two are expected on Wednesday in parts of the
Upper Midwest.
...Upper Midwest...
A belt of strong mid-level flow will be in place on Wednesday across
the far northern U.S. Within the flow, a 60 to 80 knot mid-level jet
is forecast to move eastward across far southern Saskatchewan. The
exit region of this feature will overspread the upper Mississippi
Valley during the day, strengthening large-scale ascent and
deep-layer shear. At the surface, a cold front will advance eastward
through the eastern Dakotas. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints
will likely reach the lower to mid 60s F from the mid Missouri
Valley northeastward into the upper Mississippi Valley. During the
afternoon, surface-based thunderstorms are expected to form along
the western edge of the moist airmass, from eastern South Dakota
into western Minnesota. These storms are expected to gradually
increase in coverage, moving eastward into the upper Mississippi
Valley during the late afternoon and early evening.
NAM forecast soundings near the instability axis at 00Z/Thursday
from central Minnesota into far northwest Iowa have MLCAPE in the
1500 to 2500 J/kg range, 0-6 km shear around 45 knots, and 700-500
mb lapse rates near 7.5 C/km. This environment will favorable for
severe storms. The stronger cells could become supercellular and
have a large hail threat. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in
diameter will be possible with supercells that form in areas that
destabilize the most. Some model solutions suggest that cells could
be separated enough to favor discrete modes. By early evening,
forecast soundings increase 0-3 km storm-relative into the 200 to
250 m2/s2 range. These factors would support an isolated tornado
threat with the more intense supercells. A wind-damage threat will
also be possible with supercells, and with organized short line
segments. The severe threat should continue into the mid to late
evening as storms move eastward into the far western Great Lakes
region.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY...MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
AND SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with large hail and severe gusts will be
possible on Thursday in parts of the central Plains, lower Missouri
Valley, mid Mississippi Valley and southern Great Lakes. Marginally
severe storms will also be possible in parts of the central High
Plains.
...Central Plains/Lower Missouri and Mid Mississippi
Valleys/Southern Great Lakes...
An upper-level trough will move eastward into the western Great
Lakes region on Thursday, as an associated 70 to 90 knot mid-level
jet translates eastward across the upper Mississippi Valley. At the
surface, a cold front is forecast to move southward across Nebraska,
Iowa and northern Illinois. South of the front, surface dewpoints in
the upper 60s to the mid 70s F will likely result in moderate
instability by afternoon. Although a cap is forecast to be in place
during the day, it should weaken by early evening to allow for
convective initiation. As low-level convergence increases near the
front, thunderstorms are expected to develop and move southeastward
across the lower Missouri and mid Mississippi Valleys.
Model forecasts suggest that the strongest instability early
Thursday evening will be in northeast Kansas and northern Missouri.
In this area, NAM forecast soundings at 03Z/Friday have MLCAPE
approaching 5000 J/kg, with 0-6 km around 40 knots and 700-500 mb
lapse rates between 7 and 7.5 C/km. This would be favorable for
supercell development. Although large hail would be possible with
the strongest of storms, the warm air aloft may temper the hail
threat somewhat. Northwest mid-level flow could also favor linear
development. Short line segments that can become organized could
have a wind-damage threat. The strong instability could enable the
severe threat to continue into the late evening, or even into the
overnight period.
Further northeast into the southern Great Lakes, a narrow corridor
of moderate instability will likely be in place ahead of the front
in the afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to form along the
front, and move southeastward across Lower Michigan and northern
Indiana. A couple persistent clusters will be possible from late
afternoon into the mid evening. NAM Forecast soundings in southern
Lower Michigan during the early evening have MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg
with 0-6 km shear near 50 knots. This will likely support supercell development, with a potential for large hail. An isolated tornado
threat may also develop with the strongest of supercells. A
potential for severe line segments with damaging wind gusts will
also exist.
...Central High Plains...
An upper-level ridge will move through the Rockies on Thursday, as west-northwest mid-level flow remains over the central High Plains.
An axis of moderate instability is forecast to be in place by
afternoon from far northeast Colorado into far northern Kansas.
Isolated thunderstorms are expected to form along and near the
instability axis during the late afternoon. Although lapse rates
will be very steep, warm air aloft and limited large-scale ascent
will likely keep any severe threat marginal.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE NORTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms with large hail and severe wind gusts, some
to 80 mph, will be possible from Friday afternoon into the evening
across parts of the central Plains. Thunderstorms associated with
damaging wind gusts will also be possible in parts of the Northeast
during the afternoon and early evening.
...Central Plains Vicinity...
An upper shortwave trough over the Lower CO Valley is forecast to
pivot east/northeast toward the central Rockies by Friday evening.
This feature will result in height falls across the central High
Plains vicinity, aiding in the development of lee surface troughing
across the High Plains. Meanwhile, a stalled surface front is
expected to be oriented across northern KS into western NE.
Southerly low-level flow along and west of the boundary will
transport 60s F dewpoints northward across much of KS into eastern
CO and western NE (with somewhat lower dewpoints extending into
southeast MT). A strong EML will be in place across the region, and
steep midlevel lapse rates atop a moistening boundary-layer will
result in a corridor of moderate to strong instability (MLCAPE
1500-3000 J/kg).
Thunderstorms are likely to initially develop in upslope flow closer
to higher terrain, and gradually shift east/northeast into the High
Plains of northeast CO. These initial storms will pose a risk for
large hail and damaging gusts given a deeply-mixed boundary-layer.
With time, a low-level southwesterly jet is expected to increase
toward 00z and thunderstorm clusters may organize into an
east/northeast propagating bow/small MCS. This activity will pose a
risk for severe gusts, with perhaps a couple significant gusts to 80
mph possible across southwest NE/northwest KS. The north and east
extent of severe potential into the late evening/overnight hours
should gradually diminish, especially across NE, as poor moisture
return north of the surface boundary results in a stabilizing
airmass. There is some potential that severe storms could persist
along the stalled surface boundary into parts of eastern KS, but
confidence in this scenario is too low.
Isolated strong to severe storms will be possible along the surface
trough extending into parts of the northern High Plains, as well as
south into portions of the OK/TX Panhandles and northeast NM.
...Northeast Vicinity...
An upper trough will shift east from the Great Lakes to the
Northeast on Friday. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
develop east/southeast across the region during the daytime hours.
Strong heating of a seasonally moist airmass will result in modest destabilization by midday. Vertical shear will be sufficient to
support organized cells and clusters. Forecast soundings show a
deeply mixed boundary-layer to around 850 mb and steep low-level
lapse rates. Isolated severe/scattered damaging gusts will be
possible with this activity. The surface cold front should mostly
move offshore by 00z.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
KANSAS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEBRASKA AND INTO WESTERN
IOWA...AND FROM EASTERN MONTANA INTO WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday from the Mid
Missouri Valley into parts of Wisconsin, and from eastern Montana
into parts of the western Dakotas. Wind and hail will be the primary
concerns.
...Synopsis...
A mean upper ridge will exist over the Southeast CONUS on Saturday,
with a broad but strong upper trough from the Pacific Northwest into
the northern Rockies/Plains. Between these large-scale features,
embedded disturbances associated with ongoing storms will affect
parts of the Mid MS Valley during the day, moving toward the Upper
Great Lakes by Sunday morning.
At the surface, a cold front will push east across MT and WY and
into the western Dakotas, providing a focus for afternoon/evening
storms. South of this area, a warm front will lift across MO, IA,
and eastern NE, with upper 60s F dewpoints likely along this
boundary. The stronger instability in this region may favor large
hail, areas of wind damage or a brief tornado. Isolated storms
capable of locally gusts winds or marginal hail may extend as far
south as western TX within the diurnal surface trough.
...Mid Missouri Valley northeastward into WI...
Areas of thunderstorms appear probable early on Saturday from parts
of SD into northern MO, in a zone of low-level warm advection and in association with the midlevel, convectively enhanced shortwave
trough. The severe risk with this activity will be low, with perhaps
small hail or gusty winds and likely weakening trend in this regime.
This progressive wave will help push the warm front northward into
IA through 00Z and into southern MN and western WI late. Just behind
this wave, a plume of steep low-level lapse rates is forecast across
KS, nosing into southeast NE and perhaps southwest IA by 00Z. The
result may be a small-scale area of favorable instability and shear
where the warmer air interacts with the warm front, and isolated
supercells cannot be ruled out by late afternoon and into the
evening from eastern NE into IA. Marginal, elevated hail may extend northeastward into MN/WI overnight with the aid of a 50 kt low-level
jet.
...Northern High Plains...
Strong height falls and a cold front will arrive into eastern MT
during the late afternoon, supporting scattered storms. Lengthening
hodographs along with the favorable large-scale lift should favor a
zone of concentrated strong to severe storms by early evening from
northeast MT into western ND. Cells capable of hail may occur
initially, with increasing linear mode into bows with wind potential
as the cold front surges late.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible Tuesday afternoon
over parts of the upper Mississippi Valley southwestward into parts
of Nebraska and Kansas.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough will move east across the northern High Plains on
Tuesday, with a 70+ kt midlevel speed max moving across the Dakotas
and MN. Gradual height falls will occur over this region, despite
the strong upper ridge over the East. Midlevel wind speeds of 30 kt
will exist as far south as KS.
At the surface, low pressure will move from the eastern Dakotas into
northern MN and western Ontario, with a cold front extending
southwest from the low across MN, NE, and KS.
A moist and unstable air mass will exist ahead of the front, with
the strongest overall shear profiles over the upper MS Valley during
the afternoon and evening. Elsewhere, substantial convection will
develop into the western Gulf of Mexico, with most of the stronger
instability remaining offshore the TX Coast.
...Upper MS Valley southwestward into KS...
Given the strong upper ridge over the East, the northern plains
trough will move slowly east, with most of the strong flow likely
remaining behind the cold front. Still, moderate instability will
develop with robust boundary layer moisture, with MUCAPE over 2000
J/kg ahead of the front. Capping will hold for much of the day, but
a few midday storms associated with warm advection may produce hail
over parts of northern MN/WI.
By around 21Z, storms are likely to develop along the length of the
front, which will be oriented along with the deep-layer mean wind.
Ample moisture for downdrafts should favor a few clusters or line
segments producing damaging wind gusts, and areas of hail may occur
as well with the more cellular storms. The most favorable low-level
shear for a tornado risk will be over northern MN/WI, and a couple
tornadoes cannot be ruled out as the air near the warm front becomes
surface based.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...FROM PARTS OF IOWA INTO SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN...AND OVER FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Locally strong gusts may occur with storms over the southern High
Plains, and from parts of Iowa into southern Wisconsin. A brief
tornado cannot be ruled out over far southern Texas late Wednesday
and Wednesday night in association with Potential Tropical Cyclone
1.
...Synopsis...
The tail end of an upper trough will sweep across the northern
Plains and upper MS Valley during the day, with primary speed max
well into Ontario. Meanwhile, a strong upper ridge will extend from
the OH Valley into the Northeast, with rising heights and subsidence
developing over the Plains and south of the departing wave.
At the surface, a cold front will decelerate into WI, becoming
stationary during the evening westward into KS and toward northeast
NM. While a moist air mass will exist ahead of this front, warming
temperatures aloft and weakening lift will minimize severe potential
across those areas. However, easterly upslope flow may result in a
few strong storms into NM.
Farther south, a very moist air mass will push west across the
western Gulf of Mexico with upper 70s F dewpoints across southern
TX. Overall wind fields are likely to increase as Potential Tropical
Cyclone 1 develops, and possibly becomes a TS per NHC guidance.
...From southern WI to northeast NM...
Areas of thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing Wednesday morning
over parts of the central Plains, potentially producing strong
outflow winds. This convection is expected to weaken during the day,
with a rejuvenation along portions of the boundary during the
afternoon.
The most likely areas for isolated severe gusts appear to be over
the IA to WI/IL portion of the boundary in closer proximity to the
exiting upper wave, and in the upslope region over eastern NM. In
both areas, neither shear nor instability will be particularly
strong, but the front should provide a focus for development in a
marginally unstable environment. In addition to gusty winds, cells
over northeast NM into the OK/TX Panhandles may produce marginally
severe hail as veering winds with height favor cellular storm mode.
...Far southern TX...
Substantial convection with the potential tropical cyclone will move
westward from the Gulf of Mexico and into southern TX, providing
heavy rainfall and increasing winds. Official NHC guidance brings
the system to tropical storm strength prior to landfall over Mexico
early Thursday morning, which will maintain moist easterly winds
across TX.
Forecast soundings from various models depict upper 70s F dewpoints
will favor sufficient SBCAPE for a few strong storms given 30-50 kt
winds through the lowest few km AGL, veering with height. The
combination of a very moist air mass with potentially strong
low-level shear may favor a minimal tornado risk over the region,
and low tornado probabilities have been introduced.

...SUMMARY...
Storms may produce scattered damaging gusts over parts of the
Northeast on Thursday. Isolated severe storms are also expected over
parts of the central High Plains.
...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will extend from the mid MS/OH Valley toward the Mid
Atlantic on Thursday, with an upper trough over the western states.
Moderate southwest flow aloft will stretch from the eastern Great
Basin into the northern Plains, with a stronger trough over Quebec.
This trough will flatten the ridge over the northeastern US, aiding
storm development during the day. Storms will also focus over the
central High Plains during the afternoon and evening, with rising
heights and increasing southerly 850 mb winds in a warm advection
regime. Elsewhere, the remnants of the potential tropical cyclone
will continue westward across portions of Mexico.
...Northeastern States...
Strong heating will steepen low-level lapse rates, removing any
convective inhibition by midday. Dewpoints into the upper 60s F
combined with slight cooling aloft due to the flattening ridge will
yield moderate instability with MLCAPE to 2000 J/kg. Storms are
expected to form along a weak surface trough, where convergence will
be minimal but sufficient. The result should be an east-west
oriented zone of thunderstorms, mainly pulse to multicellular, with
potential for locally damaging winds. Small to marginally severe
hail may occur with the stronger cells. Given the relative
concentration of storms, a 15% Slight Risk appears warranted for
wind.
...Southeast WY/northeast CO into the NE Panhandle...
As the warm front lifts north, low-level moisture will increase
across NE, with easterly winds near the boundary bringing 50s F
dewpoints into southeast WY and far northeast CO as well. Strong
heating will yield convection forming over the high terrain, with
isolated severe cells expected during the late afternoon. Hail will
be possible initially, with a localized wind threat as activity bows
eastward near the boundary and into NE. A brief tornado cannot be
ruled out with the cellular activity early due to the steep lapse
rates and enhanced shear near the front.
...Far southern TX...
A few storms may linger early on Thursday as the remnants of the
potential tropical cyclone move farther inland into Mexico. The
combination of upper 70s F dewpoints and enhanced low-shear could
yield gusty winds, but overall any severe potential will dwindle
rapidly throughout the day.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
NORTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible from the northern
High Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley on Friday, with a few
strong storms over parts of the Northeast. A few severe gusts are
also possible over parts of the eastern Great Basin.
...Synopsis...
On Friday, and upper high will be centered over the OH/TN Valleys,
and will gradually build westward across the southern Plains. To the
north, the tail end of a broad, low-amplitude trough over eastern
Canada will skirt the Great Lakes and Northeast, with 30-50 kt
midlevel winds and slight cooling aloft.
Farther west, the upper trough over the Great Basin will eject into
the Rockies by 00Z, and amplify Friday night as it moves into the
northern Plains enhancing large-scale ascent. Steep lapse rates and
over parts of the Four Corners states will favor strong gusts with
storms.
At the surface, high pressure will extend from the mid MS Valley to
the Mid Atlantic, with southerly winds across the Plains. Low
pressure will develop over the central High Plains, and will move
into SD overnight. A warm front will extend east of the low, across
northern NE and into southern MN/WI Friday morning, moving north
into SD and central MN by Saturday morning. The combination of
increasing lift and moisture advection will favor areas of strong to
severe storms mainly over far eastern WY, SD, MN, and parts of NE.
To the east, a weak surface trough will remain from the lower Great
Lakes into parts of the Northeast, again providing a focus for
scattered daytime storms as the air mass remains unstable.
...Northern High Plains to the upper MS Valley...
Early day thunderstorms are expected over southern parts of MN and
perhaps into WI, north of the warm front. Lapse rates appear to be
poor at that time, with minimal hail potential. However, as the
warmer air lifts north, storms along the zone from northeast SD
across southern MN see an uptick in storm intensity with hail threat
initially. With time, and as the low develops, an MCS will be
possible, with risk of damaging winds.
Farther to the southwest, diurnal storms will form over the high
terrain of eastern WY into north-central CO, and likely produce hail
and wind as they move across western and into central NE. Ample
instability will remain overnight ahead of High Plains activity to
support a hail and wind risk as it persists all night across SD and
into MN.
...Lower Great Lakes into the Northeast...
A moist air mass and heating will again result in several daytime
thunderstorms over the area, from eastern OH into southern New
England. Forecast soundings indicate perhaps poorer midlevel lapse
rates overall compared to the previous day, with more of a
subsidence inversion around 700 mb. However, heating will easily
support at least isolated development by early afternoon along the
weak front. Isolated to scattered strong to damaging gusts will be
the primary concern.
...UT...northern AZ...western CO into WY...
Thunderstorm probabilities will be quite high on Friday over this
region, owing to cool air aloft with the upper trough and plentiful
midlevel moisture with PWAT of 0.75-1.00 inches. This should favor
scattered afternoon development over a large area, with strong to
severe outflows possible.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHERN MO...CENTRAL/EASTERN IA...SOUTHEAST MN...CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
WI...NORTHWEST IL...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms will be possible across the upper Mississippi Valley
and upper Midwest on Saturday. Damaging wind, isolated hail, and a
tornado or two are all possible.
...East-central Great Plains into the upper Midwest...
The Slight Risk has been shifted southward, based on the latest
guidance regarding the likely position of the primary surface
boundary during the afternoon and evening.
A convectively enhanced shortwave trough is forecast to move across
the upper Midwest on Saturday. In the wake of morning convection,
moderate to locally strong buoyancy is expected to develop from
eastern KS/southeast NE northeastward into parts of southern
WI/northern IL, along/south of an outflow-reinforced front.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along the front by
late afternoon and spread eastward into the evening. Effective shear
generally in the 30-40 kt range will support a few organized
cells/clusters. Relatively strong heating and large PW will support strong/damaging gusts as the most likely hazard. Warm temperatures
aloft and weak midlevel lapse rates should limit the hail threat,
though isolated hail cannot be ruled out if any supercells can be
sustained. A tornado or two will also be possible, in the presence
of moderate low-level southwesterly flow and modestly enhanced SRH.
Farther east, intensification of morning convection and/or afternoon redevelopment will be possible across parts of lower MI. While
instability will be weaker compared to areas father west, somewhat
enhanced low/midlevel flow will support a threat for isolated
damaging wind and possibly a brief tornado.
...Parts of the Northeast...
Widely scattered thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the
Northeast during the afternoon and evening, within a warm,
moderately unstable, and weakly capped environment along/south of a
cold front draped across parts of New England. Modest midlevel west-southwesterly flow could support a few weakly organized
cells/clusters capable of locally damaging wind.
...Parts of ND...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move across parts
of SK/MB on Saturday, with some influence of this shortwave expected
to extend into parts of ND. Isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorm development will be possible during the
afternoon/evening, with moderate buoyancy and sufficient deep-layer
shear supporting potential for a few organized storms capable of
isolated hail and strong/severe gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF PA/NY
INTO VT/NH...WESTERN MA...NORTHWEST CT...EXTREME WESTERN ME...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible across
parts of the Northeast on Sunday.
...Northeast...
A Slight Risk has been added for parts of the Northeast on Sunday,
with potential for scattered damaging winds and a few tornadoes
during the afternoon and early evening.
Guidance still varies regarding the amplitude of embedded shortwaves
moving through a large-scale upper trough from the Great Lakes into
the Northeast on Sunday, which in turn results in uncertainty
regarding the strength/track of a related surface low. In general,
potential for rather strong low/midlevel flow to overspread a
moderately unstable environment remains evident across much of the
Northeast.
Scattered thunderstorm development will be possible by afternoon,
both along and in advance of the cold front. Organized
cells/clusters will be possible, including the potential for a few
supercells. A zone of relatively backed surface winds may persist
through the day from central/eastern NY into parts of NH/VT/western
MA, in closer proximity to the surface warm front. Locally enhanced
low-level shear/SRH and sufficient deep-layer shear will support
some potential for tornadic supercells across this area. Otherwise,
scattered damaging winds will be possible with both frontal and
prefrontal convection across the broader region during the afternoon
and evening, before an expected weakening trend by later Sunday
night.
...OH/TN Valley vicinity...
The cold front trailing from the New England system will move across
parts of the Ohio Valley during the afternoon and evening.
Thunderstorm development will be possible along/ahead of the front,
within a moderately unstable and modestly sheared environment. A few
stronger cells or small clusters will be possible within this
regime, with a threat of locally damaging wind. Some convection may
spread into parts of northern MS/AL Sunday night, though the
potential severity of any nocturnal convection in this area remains
uncertain.
...Eastern MT into northwest ND...
A shortwave trough is forecast to move east-northeastward from the
Pacific Northwest into parts of BC/AB by Sunday evening. A deepening
surface cyclone will accompany this shortwave, with a cold front
trailing southward into parts of MT. Low-level southeasterly flow
will transport modest low-level moisture into parts of eastern MT,
resulting in the potential for moderate destabilization. Deep-layer
shear will be favorable for organized convection, but large-scale
ascent attendant to the shortwave trough may tend to remain north of
the international border. Development of a strong/severe storm or
two across eastern MT cannot be ruled out by early evening, which
would then potentially spread into northwest ND Sunday night. A
Marginal Risk has been added for this conditional scenario.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF THE
UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible over parts of the
Upper Midwest, mainly from late afternoon Monday into Monday night.
A low-probability scenario of a severe MCS producing destructive
wind gusts is apparent, centered on central parts of Minnesota into
Wisconsin.
...Upper Midwest...
Confidence in tomorrow's severe evolution is low. A wide range in
potential outcomes from a sporadic primarily elevated large hail
threat to a derecho scenario are plausible. Primary change with this
outlook is to add a significant severe wind area for the conditional
potential of destructive wind gusts from an intense MCS.
A shortwave trough should amplify somewhat over the southern Prairie
Provinces, mainly during the latter portion of the period. This will
induce weak mid-level height falls by Monday evening/night across
northern portions of the Upper Midwest. Primary surface cyclone will
similarly track east from southeast SK to far northwest ON. A north/south-oriented cold front attendant to this cyclone should
push east across the northern Great Plains, with the trailing
portion slowing and eventually stalling near the SD/NE border area.
A very stout EML characterized by 700-mb temperatures of 14-16 C
will inhibit surface-based warm sector development through much of
the day, with remnant elevated convection from late D1 over ND
potentially persisting on an isolated basis along the periphery of
the EML, mainly over northern MN. Large to extreme buoyancy will
develop, centered on eastern SD into western MN, with MLCAPE in
excess of 4000 J/kg probable.
Isolated late-afternoon to early-evening storm development will be
possible near the cold front over eastern ND into
west-central/northwest MN. Guidance differs greatly on whether this
will occur or not given the stout capping to the southeast. A more
probable scenario is for elevated convection to develop during the
evening into the overnight as a low-level jet intensifies from the
Mid-MO Valley towards Lake Superior. Guidance also differs on the
evolution of the surface warm front into Monday evening/night with
the 12Z NAM holding farther south and more pronounced with the
baroclinic zone across central MN. Most other guidance advances the
warm front deeper into northern MN. Given these spatial concerns
along with the relatively weak forcing for ascent near/just after
peak heating amid pronounced capping over the open warm sector,
confidence is low in the most likely scenario of convective
evolution. Isolated, very large hail will be possible given
plentiful elevated MUCAPE and strengthening effective bulk shear.
The 12Z HRW-ARW depicts a more ominous scenario with surface-based
development over the Upper Red River Valley growing upscale into an
intense, bowing MCS through central portions of MN/WI. This includes
a signal for extreme rear-inflow jet development to around 95 kts at
the mature stage over west-central WI. Other guidance suggests a
later MCS may develop out of the elevated convection in north parts
of MN/WI, and still other guidance suggests little, if any MCS
development will occur. The decision has been made to defer on a
categorical upgrade and await potentially more consistent guidance
in later outlook cycles.
...Black Hills vicinity into parts of NE and western IA...
The southern portion of the weak cold front should slow and stall
near the SD/NE border area by early evening Monday. Strong heating
in the vicinity of the boundary will support isolated to widely
scattered high-based thunderstorm development. With generally weak
mid-level flow across the region, storms may quickly become outflow
dominant, but steep tropospheric lapse rates will support at least
isolated severe gusts. The strongest updrafts may also be capable of
producing some hail.
...Coastal Carolinas...
A cold front is forecast to move across the coastal Carolinas
vicinity, with scattered thunderstorm development expected during
the afternoon. Moderate to locally strong prefrontal buoyancy (with
MLCAPE of near/above 2000 J/kg) and effective shear generally around
25-30 kt will support potential for a few stronger multicells and
perhaps a marginal supercell or two, with an attendant threat of
locally damaging winds and hail.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS INTO PARTS OF THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from the central Great Plains into
the Midwest and Great Lakes on Tuesday.
...Central/southern Great Plains into parts of the Midwest/Great
Lakes...
Due to a relatively wide range of potential outcomes on D1/Monday,
uncertainty remains quite high regarding storm evolution on Tuesday.
However, some organized severe-thunderstorm potential remains
evident from parts of the central Great Plains into the Midwest and
Great Lakes. Some threat could eventually spread southward into
parts of the southern Plains, Ozarks, and Ohio Valley.
An MCS may be ongoing Tuesday morning somewhere across the central
Great Lakes vicinity, with other areas of elevated convection
possibly ongoing across the region. At least an isolated severe
threat may accompany the morning convection. Meanwhile, the cold
front that moves through the Dakotas/Minnesota on Tuesday is
forecast to take on a west-to-east orientation from eastern NE into central/northern IA to southern WI/northern IL, with potential for
one or more outflow boundaries to the south of this front. Strong to
locally extreme buoyancy (with MLCAPE above 3000 J/kg) will likely
develop near/south of the front, in areas that are not overly
influenced by morning convection.
Outside the influence of any MCVs, midlevel west-northwesterly flow
may remain rather modest across the warm sector, but strong enough
to support sufficient effective shear for some storm organization.
It is possible that some areas of ongoing morning convection will
intensify through the day, with isolated to widely scattered
development also possible along the primary front and any remnant
outflow boundaries. Isolated high-based convection may also develop
within a hot and well-mixed regime across western KS.
The favorable thermodynamic environment will support hail potential
with any more discrete convection. Some clustering/upscale growth
will be possible, which could result in one or more corridors of
greater damaging-wind potential. Some severe threat could eventually
spread into parts of the Ohio Valley, Ozarks, and possibly the
southern Plains, though the southern extent of the organized severe
risk remains quite uncertain at this time.
The current Slight Risk is a composite of multiple possible
scenarios, and some adjustments will likely be required depending on
guidance trends and evolution of D1/Monday convection.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
NORTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered damaging winds are possible over parts of the Northeast
and Mid Atlantic on Wednesday.
...Upper Ohio Valley into the Northeast/Mid Atlantic...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move from the
upper Midwest toward the lower Great Lakes and Northeast on
Wednesday, with some potential for convectively enhanced vorticity
maxima to move east-northeastward ahead of the primary shortwave.
Rather moist low-level westerly flow will support potential for
moderate diurnal destabilization from eastern OH into parts of the
Northeast and northern Mid Atlantic, with stronger heating/mixing
possible into parts of the southern Mid Atlantic. Scattered
thunderstorm development will be possible Wednesday afternoon
along/ahead of a cold front across parts of OH/PA and southern NY,
which will spread eastward into the evening.
Strengthening flow in the 700-500 mb layer will support sufficient
effective shear for storm organization, with potential for a few
organized clusters and perhaps a couple of supercells. Damaging wind
and perhaps isolated hail will be possible, along with some
potential for a brief tornado if a supercell can be sustained.
The Slight Risk has been expanded southward across parts of the Mid
Atlantic, due to increased confidence in storm coverage within a
somewhat favorable environment across parts of MD/VA.
...Lower Ohio Valley into the Ozarks vicinity...
Uncertainty regarding storm potential and evolution remains quite
high from the lower Ohio Valley vicinity into the Ozarks. Elevated
convection will likely be ongoing at the start of the period across
multiple areas. An outflow-influenced front will be draped somewhere
across the region through the day, to the south of a reinforcing
cold front that will move southward from the upper Midwest.
Modest northwesterly mid/upper-level flow will be in place across
the region. Some diurnal intensification or redevelopment of storms
will be possible near the front and any remaining outflow
boundaries. The northwesterly flow regime may provide sufficient
effective shear for some storm organization, with one or more
clusters possible with a threat of damaging wind and perhaps some
hail.
...Southeast WY/northeast CO into central High Plains...
Moist low-level southeasterly flow is expected on Wednesday from
eastern CO/WY into the NE Panhandle and southeast WY. Moderate
destabilization will be possible during the afternoon within this
regime. While the region will initially be under the influence of an upper-level ridge over the southern Rockies, guidance suggests
potential for a low-amplitude shortwave trough to crest the ridge
from WY into western SD. This will support potential for at least
isolated thunderstorm development.
Midlevel flow will be rather modest, but sufficient veering with
height will support sufficient effective shear for storm
organization, including some supercell potential with a threat of
large hail and localized severe gusts. A strengthening nocturnal
low-level jet could support some upscale growth, which could spread
at least isolated severe-gust potential into parts of southwest NE
and western KS.
...Upper Midwest...
While guidance varies regarding destabilization potential across
parts of the Upper Midwest, isolated storm development cannot be
ruled out across the region, within a northwesterly flow regime.
Moderate deep-layer shear would conditionally support strong to
severe storms if sufficient instability can be realized, but
confidence is too low to include probabilities for this potential at
this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
CENTRAL/EASTERN MT INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS...
CORRECTED FOR TORNADO NDFD GRID
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of Montana into the
northern and central Plains on Thursday.
...Northern Rockies into the northern/central High Plains...
A seasonably strong mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to
move from the Northwest across the northern Rockies during the day
on Thursday, and into northern High Plains by Thursday night. A
surface low is forecast to deepen across southeast MT during the
day, and then move east-southeastward toward western/central SD.
Low-level southeasterly flow will support moisture return into
eastern MT and the western Dakotas.
Moderate to locally strong buoyancy may develop by late afternoon
across the western Dakotas into eastern MT, with somewhat more
modest destabilization possible farther west into central MT. Strong
to severe storms could develop relatively early in the day from
southwest into central MT. This early convection could spread
eastward and intensify through the day, with additional development
possible farther east into eastern MT and the western Dakotas.
Increasing mid/upper-level flow will support supercell potential.
Large to very large hail and severe gusts (possibly in excess of 75
mph) will be possible, along with some threat for a tornado or two.
Some upscale growth may occur during the evening, with some severe
threat potentially persisting Thursday night as storms move eastward
across the Dakotas.
If model trends favor the currently more aggressive guidance
regarding low-level moisture and destabilization across MT into the
western Dakotas, then probabilities may eventually need to be
increased for all hazards.
...Central Plains...
Elevated convection and possibly a remnant MCS may be ongoing
Thursday morning across parts of the central Plains. In the wake of
the morning convection, a surface boundary is expected to move
northeastward as a warm front, aided by a moderate southerly
low-level jet. Isolated to widely scattered storm development is
expected by late afternoon, both near a diffuse dryline, and also
potentially near any remnant outflow boundaries from morning
convection.
Midlevel flow will be weaker with southward extent, but deep-layer
shear will still be sufficient for some storm organization within a
moderately buoyant environment. A mixture of cells and clusters is
expected, including potential for a few supercells with a threat of
hail and severe gusts. Any supercell that persists from late
afternoon into the early evening could also pose some tornado
threat, within a regime of increasing low-level flow/shear.
Upscale growth into multiple clusters or possibly an MCS will be
possible Thursday evening/night, as a low-level jet nocturnally
increases. Any such cluster/MCS could spread some severe threat
across central and potentially eastern KS/NE.
...Eastern UT/western CO and vicinity...
Weak to moderate buoyancy may develop from eastern UT into western
CO during the afternoon, within a relatively moist environment. The
southern fringe of strong westerly flow aloft will spread across the
region, providing sufficient deep-layer shear for at least modestly
organized storms. Isolated severe wind and hail may occur with the
strongest storms within this regime.
...Carolinas into Georgia...
Moderate destabilization is forecast Thursday along/ahead of a cold
front that is currently expected to be draped from south GA into
parts of the Carolinas. A weak upper-level trough is expected to be
in place over the region, and scattered thunderstorms may develop
during the afternoon into the early evening. Guidance varies
somewhat regarding the strength of deep-layer shear across the
region, but at least isolated damaging wind could accompany the
strongest storms during the afternoon and early evening.

CO...MUCH OF NE/KS/IA...NORTHERN MO...SOUTHERN MN...
CORRECTED FOR HAIL GRAPHIC
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms may develop from parts of the central Plains
into parts of the upper Midwest and upper Mississippi Valley on
Friday. Large hail, damaging wind, and a couple tornadoes will be
possible.
...Central/northern Plains into the upper Midwest/Great Lakes...
A mid/upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern
Great Plains into the upper Great Lakes region on Friday into Friday
night. In conjunction with the shortwave, a surface low will move
eastward across the Dakotas into MN, with secondary low development
possible across the central Plains. A warm front is forecast to move
northward across the mid/upper MS Valley, while a cold front will
move through the northern/central Plains into MN through the day and
into the evening.
Elevated convection may be ongoing at the start of the
period, within a warm-advection regime. In the wake of the morning
convection, moderate to locally strong destabilization will be
possible in the vicinity of the cold front and a possible outflow
boundary across parts of NE/IA into northeast KS/northwest MO, with
somewhat more modest destabilization along the northward extension
of the front into parts of MN.
Deep-layer shear will be sufficient for organized convection across
the region. Storm evolution during the afternoon/evening remains
somewhat uncertain, but development of a few supercells and/or
stronger clusters will be possible near the front from eastern
NE/northeast KS into southern MN/western IA/northwest MO. Hail and
damaging winds will be possible with the strongest storms across the
warm sector. In addition, some tornado threat may evolve with any
sustained supercell, especially from southeast NE/eastern KS into
northwest MO/southwest IA, where buoyancy may be maximized, and
low-level shear/SRH will be somewhat enhanced into the evening.
Farther west, organized storms may also develop near and north of
the front across the central High Plains. Initial supercell
development will be possible from northeast CO into southwest
NE/northwest KS, with a threat of hail and localized severe gusts.
Some upscale growth into multiple clusters or a small MCS may occur
with time, which could pose at least a localized threat of
significant severe gusts.
The Slight Risk has been expanded to cover the scenarios described
above, though some uncertainty remains regarding storm evolution
through the period.

A mid/upper-level shortwave trough and related surface low are
forecast to move from parts of the upper Midwest into Ontario/Quebec
on Saturday, while a trailing shortwave will move southeastward
across the upper Great Lakes during the evening. One or more
convectively enhanced shortwave troughs may move eastward within a
belt of westerly midlevel flow from parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley
into the Northeast. A cold front trailing from the primary surface
low will move eastward across parts of the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and
Great Lakes, and eventually into parts of the Northeast by Sunday
morning.
Rich low-level moisture is forecast to stream northeastward
along/ahead of the cold front, aided by a belt of relatively strong southwesterly 850 mb flow. Midlevel lapse rates are expected to
remain weak, but low 70s F dewpoints and modest diurnal heating
could support pockets of at least moderate buoyancy by mid/late
afternoon, though the influence of early-day convection on
destabilization continues to result in uncertainty regarding the
forecast.
There is some potential for morning convection to gradually
intensify through the day, within a moist and favorably sheared
environment. Isolated damaging wind and possibly a brief tornado
could accompany the strongest storms into early afternoon.
Scattered thunderstorms may redevelop during the afternoon from OH
into western PA, with more isolated development possible along the
trailing front into the lower OH Valley. Deep-layer shear will be
sufficient for organized convection, and a few supercells and/or
organized clusters could develop and move eastward during the
afternoon into the evening, with a threat of scattered damaging
wind. Some tornado threat could also evolve, especially from eastern
OH into western PA/NY, where low-level shear/SRH will remain
favorable through the day into the early evening.
The Slight Risk has been expanded somewhat to the north and east,
where confidence is currently greatest in a corridor of organized
severe potential, with potential for damaging winds and a couple
tornadoes.
...Central Great Lakes...
As the trailing shortwave trough moves across the Great Lakes Sunday
evening, there is some potential for at least isolated storm
development from eastern WI into MI and northern IL. With favorable
deep-layer shear in place, isolated severe storms will be possible.
Greater probabilities may eventually be needed for a portion of this
region, depending on trends regarding storm coverage lingering
instability into late afternoon/early evening.
...Ozark Region into the south-central Plains...
Strong buoyancy is forecast to develop during the afternoon along
the trailing cold front from parts of southern KS/MO into northern
OK/AR. Deep-layer flow is expected to be rather weak, but modest
veering with height may support effective shear of 20-30 kt near the
front. Storm coverage along the front in this region remains
somewhat uncertain, but isolated strong to severe storms will be
possible, with a threat of localized damaging gusts and possibly
some hail. A couple stronger storms may also develop within a
post-frontal regime across parts of the southern/central High
Plains. A corridor of higher probabilities may eventually be needed,
if confidence increases regarding the most favored corridor for
frontal convection.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST/MID-ATLANTIC STATES AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered damaging winds will be possible across parts of the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States on Sunday. Hail and damaging winds
may also occur from eastern Montana into western North Dakota.
...Northeast/Mid-Atlantic States to Carolinas...
A positive-tilt upper-level trough will amplify over Ontario and
Quebec toward the Lower Great Lakes and Northeast Sunday and Sunday
night. A surface low will move from eastern Quebec to the Canadian
Maritimes, as a trailing cold front advances southeastward across
the Northeast/New England as well as the Appalachians, before
exiting the coastal Northeast/Mid-Atlantic by Sunday night. Some
potential warm-sector cloudiness and weak mid-level lapse rates may
somewhat limit or delay pre-frontal destabilization. However,
potentially moderate diurnal destabilization, in the presence of
moderate deep-layer shear, should exist for storms capable of
damaging winds and possibly some hail, mainly Sunday afternoon
through early evening.
Removed from the stronger cyclonic flow aloft, greater
destabilization is expected southward into the Carolinas within a
very moist environment. Modest-strength west/northwesterly winds
aloft could support some stronger cells/clusters capable of at least
isolated wind damage.
...Montana and western Dakotas...
A mid/upper-level trough will cross the northern Rockies on Sunday,
reaching and influencing the northern High Plains by Sunday night.
In response, a surface low is expected to deepen across southeast
Montana and northeast Wyoming, with increasing low-level moisture north-northwestward into areas to east and north of the surface low,
including parts of Montana and the western Dakotas.
At least modest diurnal destabilization will be possible from
southwest into central Montana, with moderate buoyancy potentially
developing farther east into parts of eastern Montana and the
western Dakotas. Storm development will be possible across
western/central Montana during the afternoon. These storms may move
eastward with time, with other isolated development possible by
early evening into eastern Montana.
Increasing deep-layer shear will support organized convection, and a
few stronger clusters and/or supercells will be possible, with a
threat of hail and severe gusts. An MCS may develop Sunday night and
move into western/central North Dakota, aided by a nocturnally
strengthening low-level jet. The severity of any MCS will be more
uncertain with eastward extent, due to increasing low-level
stability. However, some threat for severe gusts could spread across
western and possibly central North Dakota.
Storm development/coverage is more uncertain farther south, but with
the environment expected to become conditionally favorable by late
afternoon into the evening, a strong/severe storm or two will also
be possible across eastern Wyoming into western South Dakota
including the Black Hills vicinity.
...Colorado Front Range into the central High Plains...
In the wake of a cold frontal passage, low-level moisture will
stream westward into the Front Range vicinity and adjacent central
High Plains, with the western extension of the boundary expected to
lift northward as a warm front through the day. Moderate
destabilization will be possible during the afternoon, with
potential for at least isolated storm development. Mid-level winds
will likely remain weak to modest, but sufficient veering with
height could support organized multicellular clusters and perhaps a
supercell or two, with a threat of hail and severe gusts.
...Southeast Arizona...
Some showers/thunderstorms, or least outflow/cloud debris, could
linger early in the day, but airmass recovery/destabilization is
expected into the afternoon. Mid-level temperatures will be warm,
but sufficient diurnally maximized instability could contribute to a
few strong storms. The region will be reevaluated in subsequent
outlooks for a potential inclusion of low wind-related severe
probabilities.
...South-central Great Plains to Tennessee Valley...
A cold front is forecast to move into parts of the south-central
Great Plains and Ozark vicinity Sunday morning, potentially
accompanied and augmented by ongoing convection. Moderate to locally
strong buoyancy may develop along/south the front during the
afternoon, in areas that are not influenced by early-day convection.
Mid-level flow will likely remain weak. Given the rather weakly
sheared environment and uncertainty regarding the favored frontal
corridor, severe probabilities will continue to be deferred.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday across the
northern/central Plains including parts of Nebraska and South
Dakota.
...Northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest...
An increasingly prominent mid/upper-level trough will overspread the
region with appreciable height falls as far south as Nebraska and
Iowa. A surface low is forecast to deepen over the Dakotas, along an
advancing front. The influences of early day convection across
eastern portions of Nebraska/Kansas are still expected be modulating
factors and points of uncertainty spatially, but a warm front should effectively transition north-northeastward during the day, with very
rich low-level moisture in its wake to the east of the upstream weak
cold front.
The most surface-based severe-favorable setup should materialize
across central/eastern Nebraska into Monday late afternoon/early
evening, and to a lesser extent northwestward into western/central
parts of South Dakota. Moderate buoyancy and seasonally strong
deep-layer shear could support potentially intense supercells,
especially across central Nebraska. This includes a risk for all
severe hazards regionally. Some upscale growth is possible into the
evening as storms spread eastward across Nebraska, with a continued
severe risk potentially reaching parts of Iowa and possibly
Minnesota Monday night.
...Southeast States...
Locally severe storms capable of wind damage may occur mainly Monday
afternoon through early evening within a moderately unstable
environment along and south of the southward-sagging front and a
related surface wave. It still seems that this risk is most probable
across southern South Carolina and southern/eastern Georgia into
northern Florida and possibly southeast Alabama.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
MIDWEST/OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday, particularly across
parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley and central Plains.
...Midwest/Ozarks/Ohio Valley...
Moderate to strong destabilization is expected within a moist air
mass preceding an east/southeastward-moving cold front, which is
likely to be effectively augmented by early day convection and
residual cloud cover. As a shortwave trough transitions
northeastward over the Great Lakes toward Ontario, at least weak
height falls and moderately strong mid-level westerlies will
generally influence areas as far south as the Ohio River and parts
of the Ozark Plateau. Intensifying multicells/banded clusters are
probable into Wednesday afternoon, with bouts of wind damage as the
primary hazard through evening.
...High Plains/Central Plains...
Height falls and a strengthening of cyclonically curved westerlies
are expected ahead (east-southeast) of an amplifying mid/upper-level
trough over the northern Rockies and northern High Plains. By mid/late-afternoon Wednesday, potentially severe storms capable of
hail/strong wind gusts will be possible within a broad north/south
corridor from the western Dakotas and southeast Montana/northeast
Wyoming southward into eastern Colorado, northeast New Mexico, and Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles. Some tornado risk may also exist near the north/south-oriented surface trough across the central High Plains
including western Nebraska/eastern Colorado/northwest Kansas, where deep-layer/low-level shear will be stronger and more favorable for
initial supercells. The most focused area of potentially severe
storms, including possible evening-time MCS development, may evolve
from western Nebraska/northeast Colorado into western/northern
Kansas and southern Nebraska.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN
KANSAS...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...PORTIONS OF MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will be possible on Independence Day, mainly
across the Lower Missouri Valley, Ozarks, and south-central Plains.
...Synopsis...
A strong upper-level trough for this time of year will dig into the
central Rockies/Plains by early Thursday morning. This trough will
slow and intensify across portions of the mid Missouri/Mississippi
Valleys by the afternoon. As this occurs, an upper low will deepen
in the upper Midwest. At the surface, a remnant boundary will be
positioned roughly from the southern Plains into the upper Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic. 70s F dewpoints will reside south of this
boundary. Through the day, a modest surface low is forecast to
develop in the Iowa/Minnesota border vicinity. This will draw at
least mid 60s F dewpoints northward into the region. Ongoing
convection early Thursday will have an impact on where the most
favorable areas for severe weather will be by the afternoon.
Convection from Missouri into much of the Ohio Valley will slow the
northward return of moisture and leave outflow boundaries.
Additional activity seems likely closely tied to the shortwave trough/developing upper low into portions of the Missouri Valley.
...Eastern Kansas...northeast Oklahoma...Missouri...
Early convection is expected to move out of the region by the
afternoon. Strong heating ahead of the cold front that will
eventually push into eastern Kansas/Missouri and near whatever
composite front/outflow is left from the earlier storms will yield
2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE. Effective shear will be weaker with southern
extent, but 40-45 kts is possible in central/southeastern Missouri
into southeast Kansas. Mid-level ascent will be quite modest, but
storms are expected to develop along the cold front and potentially
along the outflow farther east. Initial storms would be supercells
capable of large hail and damaging winds. While low-level shear will
be weak, a tornado could occur with discrete storms favorably
interacting with the outflow boundary in particular. Upscale growth
will likely occur fairly quickly given the boundary-parallel
deep-layer shear along the cold front. Wind damage would become more
common as a potential MCS would move into large buoyancy.
...Upper Midwest...
Uncertainty in the degree of destabilization remains rather high as
there will be potential for cloud cover from activity to the west
and south. Storm development is most likely to occur along the cold
front moving through Iowa given the greater forcing for ascent. Less
certain is development into western/central Wisconsin along a weak
warm front. Temperatures aloft will support some potential for
marginally severe hail. Isolated damaging winds will be possible as
well, but this, again, will largely depend on how steep low-level
lapse rates can become. Though the threat is low and uncertain, a
tornado would be possible if sufficient destabilization can occur in
Iowa. Low-level shear would be maximized near the surface low, and
deep-layer shear across the initiating boundary would mean discrete
storms for at least a short duration.
...Southern Plains...
Strong heating south of the boundary (mid 90s to potentially low
100s F) will promote 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE by the afternoon. Heating
plus convergence along the front give reasonable confidence in
widely scattered to scattered storms. Storms will only be modestly
organized given the area will be on the extreme southern periphery
of stronger mid-level winds. Activity will likely grow upscale and
push southward until MLCIN increases. Severe/damaging winds will be
the primary concern.
...Ohio Valley into Mid-Atlantic...
Convection appears likely to be ongoing along the surface boundary
due to modest mid-level ascent and low-level warm advection. South
of the boundary, a very moist airmass will be in place. Additional
stronger activity will be possible either along the boundary itself
or along outflow from earlier storms. Deep-layer shear will be weak
except right along/north of the boundary, but a few damaging
microbursts will be possible due to the moderate to strong buoyancy
and steep low-level lapse rates in cloud-free areas.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF THE
UPPER OHIO VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Marginally severe storms are most likely across parts of the upper
Ohio Valley on Friday.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level low in the Upper Midwest will continue eastward on
Saturday before becoming more of an open wave by Saturday morning. A
potent mid-level jet is anticipated across parts of the upper Ohio
Valley during the afternoon. At the surface, a low in the Lake
Michigan/Lower Michigan vicinity will also track eastward, with a
attendant cold front moving through the Ohio Valley by mid/late
afternoon and evening.
...Upper Ohio Valley...
Uncertainty remains relatively high in the degree of surface-based destabilization that will occur by the afternoon. Morning
showers/thunderstorms are possible within a weak warm advection
regime. Further, cloud cover from the remnants of convection moving
through the lower Ohio Valley on Thursday night may also have an
impact. Given the moist airmass (low 70s F dewpoints), broken cloud
cover would still allow 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE (perhaps near 2000
J/kg in the southernmost areas). Effective shear will range from 35
kts to the south and increase to around 50 kts to the north. On the
lower end of destabilization, only isolated cells would be likely.
Should greater surface heating occur, a linear segment or two could
develop. Damaging winds and small hail are possible with the
strongest storms.
...Blue Ridge...
Strong heating is expected within a high PWAT airmass. Temperatures
are expected to reach the mid 90s F. Though mid-level heights will
remain neutral, convection is probable within the terrain. Weak
deep-layer shear and similarly weak anvil-level flow should keep
storm organization minimal. Confidence in more than isolated wet
microbursts is too low for highlights.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
NORTHERN KANSAS INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEBRASKA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from southern South Dakota into
the southern High Plains on Saturday, with the highest coverage
expected in parts of the central Plains. Large hail (some greater
than 2 inches) and severe winds are the expected hazards.
...Synopsis...
Broad cyclonic flow will persist across much of the CONUS with the
exception of the West Coast. A shortwave trough is expected to move
into the central Plains by the afternoon. At the surface, a high
pressure system will shift eastward into the Mid-South and lower
Ohio Valley. Around the western flank of this anticyclone, moisture
will return northward. A modest surface low will develop in the
vicinity of the NE/CO/KS border, though models have some
disagreement on how deep this low will become. The main focus for
thunderstorm development will be near this surface low and farther
east along a weak warm front/theta-e boundary.
...Central/eastern Nebraska...northwest/north-central Kansas...
Thunderstorm development is expected during the mid/late afternoon.
Upper 50s F dewpoints are expected to support 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE
(with some areas perhaps near 2000 J/kg). Relatively cold
temperatures aloft (around -12 C at 500 mb) and northwesterly
mid/high-level flow with 35-40 kts of effective shear will promote
some initial risk for supercells capable of large hail (some 2+
inches). Given the larger temperature-dewpoint spreads, upscale
growth will likely occur later in the convective cycle. Severe wind
gusts would become more common as this process unfolds. There is
some uncertainty with regard to the most favorable area for
potential MCS development. There is some signal in guidance that
this could occur in western Kansas where slightly greater low-level
moisture will be present, mid-level lapse rates will be steeper, and
the low-level jet will be focused. Significant severe gusts are
possible with an organized MCS, but confidence in placement remain
quite low at this time.
...Southern High Plains...
With the surface high helping to push moisture back into the
southern Rockies and parts of West Texas, a few strong to severe
storms are possible during the afternoon. Convection/outflow is
possible prior to the D2/Saturday period on Friday afternoon/evening
in the Texas Panhandle/South Plains. As a result, there is some
uncertainty as to how far east the severe threat will reach. Shear
will be weaker this far south, but steep low/mid-level lapse rates
will promote a risk of severe winds and isolated large hail in the
strongest storms.
...Mid-Atlantic...
A weak cold front will move through the region during the
afternoon/evening. While a richly moist (70+ F dewpoints) airmass
will be in place, the stronger mid-level winds will generally be
displaced farther to the northwest. Furthermore, mid-level heights
will be near neutral and convergence along the front will be rather
weak. Most model guidance continues to suggest limited storm
coverage for those reasons. No highlights will be added, but a
strong storm or two remains possible.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EASTERN
TEXAS PANHANDLE...WESTERN NORTH TEXAS...WESTERN/CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA...AND PARTS OF THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS GULF COAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are expected in parts of the central and southern
Plains on Sunday. Some tornado risk will exist as tropical cyclone
Beryl approaches the middle Texas Gulf Coast.
...Synopsis...
A broad upper-level trough will be located across much of the CONUS
on Sunday. Shortwave perturbations within this broader cyclonic flow
are expected to impact portions of the central/southern Plains
during the afternoon/evening. At the surface, a somewhat complex
surface pattern is expected. A convective outflow reinforced weak
warm front appears to likely set up roughly along the
Kansas/Oklahoma border. A modest surface low will deepen in the
southern High Plains. A weak dryline feature will extend southward
from this low. Along the middle/upper Texas Gulf Coast, low-level
wind fields will increase with the approach of TC Beryl late Sunday
night into Monday.
...Far southern Kansas into Oklahoma and North Texas...
Convection is expected to be ongoing in parts of western/central
Kansas Sunday morning, but is expected to weaken as the low-level
jet decreases in strength. Dewpoints south of the boundary/outflow
are expected to be in the upper 60s F. Heating of this moist airmass
will promote 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE to develop by early/mid
afternoon. Convergence along the boundary will increase as the
surface low to the west deepens. Mid-level ascent by mid/late
afternoon will also aid in increasing convective coverage. A few
initial supercells are possible given 40-50 kts of effective shear
parallel to the boundary, but upscale growth appears likely to occur
quickly. Along the dryline in the eastern Texas Panhandle, storm
coverage may be less, but 35-45 kts of effective shear across the
boundary will promote a few supercells. The degree and timing of
upscale growth along the dryline is less clear and could be
modulated by outflow from storms near the Kansas/Oklahoma border.
In terms of hazards, steep mid-level lapse rates, moderate effective
shear, and initially favorable storm modes will bring a risk of
large hail. Some hail could exceed 2 inches, but uncertainty of
supercell coverage and the expected quick upscale growth limits
confidence. Near the surface low, a tornado is possible. Again, this
potential is likely to remain low given short duration of discrete
storm modes. The main hazard will be severe/damaging winds as
convection grows upscale.
...Middle/Upper Texas Gulf Coast...
TC Beryl is expected to intensify into a hurricane as it approaches
the middle Texas Gulf Coast per the latest NHC forecast. Low-level
wind fields to the right of the track will become favorable for
low-level rotation, especially where upper 70s F dewpoints
infiltrate the coastal counties. A risk for tornadoes will exist
from near the Corpus Christie area to the Sabine River. This threat
will increase late Sunday night into Monday morning.
...Southeast Colorado into Southwest Kansas...
Some surface moisture will be maintained into these areas. Dewpoints
in the mid 50s F seem probable up against the terrain in southeast
Colorado with slightly greater amounts in southwest Kansas. Storm
initiation is most likely within the terrain with a few storms being
capable of severe winds and marginally severe hail. Coverage is less
certain along the outflow into Kansas, but low severe probabilities
will be maintained for possible development during the afternoon.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
EASTERN TEXAS...WESTERN LOUISIANA...SOUTHWESTERN ARKANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
At least an isolated risk for tornadoes will be possible across
parts of eastern Texas into western Louisiana and southwestern
Arkansas tomorrow (Monday). A couple of severe gusts or instances of
hail may also occur in southwestern Texas.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough and attendant weak surface low will meander
eastward across the MS Valley as a diffuse surface cold front sags
southward across the southern High Plains tomorrow (Monday).
Meanwhile, an upper ridge and associated surface high will persist
across the Interior West. At the start of the period (12Z Monday),
Beryl is forecast to make landfall along the TX coastline as a
hurricane before weakening as it continues to move further inland.
Toward the end of the period (12Z Tuesday), the remnants of Beryl
are poised to track northeast toward the Mid-MS Valley while merging
with the mid-level trough. At least isolated thunderstorms are
possible across most of the CONUS along and to the east of the
Rockies (east of the upper-level ridge/surface high), where adequate
moisture and buoyancy are present. The best chance for any strong to
severe thunderstorms will be associated with Beryl across eastern
TX/western LA, where a few tornadoes will be possible. Otherwise,
isolated strong to severe storms could occur near the cold front
across southwestern TX.
...Eastern TX into Western LA and southwestern AR...
At the start of the period, Beryl should make landfall as an annular
hurricane, with rich low-level moisture (i.e. mid to upper 70s F
surface dewpoints) advecting inland from the Galveston Bay area,
into the right-front quadrant of the cyclone. Through the day, Beryl
will weaken to tropical storm status and transition to an asymmetric
cyclone as it shifts northeast and begins to merge with the
mid-level trough. Through this period, guidance consensus depicts
considerable strengthening and veering of the low-level vertical
wind profile, resulting in large, curved hodographs (200-300 m2/s2
effective SRH) within the northeast quadrant, coinciding with over
1000 J/kg SBCAPE. Multiple CAM members also show semi-discrete
storms within the northeast quadrant. At least a few tornadoes are
possible as the northeast quadrant of Beryl tracks northeast across
eastern TX into western LA and southwestern AR. Other thunderstorms
may develop along the northern/easternmost periphery of Beryl, where
vertical wind shear will be weaker. A damaging gust or a brief
tornado cannot be ruled out with these storms across northeast AR
into southeast MO.
...Southwestern TX...
By afternoon peak heating, thunderstorms are expected to develop
along and immediately south of the cold front across the Trans Pecos
region of southwestern TX. These storms will develop atop a deep,
mixed boundary layer amid elongated hodographs. Multicells are
expected as the main storm mode. 0-3 km lapse rates exceeding 9 C/km
coinciding with 30-40 kts of effective bulk shear will support an
isolated severe gust/hail threat with the stronger storms before
diminishing after sunset.

OF THE OH VALLEY AND NEW ENGLAND...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms may produce a few damaging gusts or
tornadoes across portions of the Mid-South into the Ohio Valley
tomorrow (Tuesday). A few instances of hail or strong wind gusts are
also possible over portions of New England.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will translate northeastward from the MS Valley
to the OH Valley through the day tomorrow (Tuesday) while a
mid-level ridge continues to build over the Interior West. Given
rich low-level moisture along and east of the MS River and ahead of
the upper trough, widely scattered thunderstorms are possible, with
isolated thunderstorms also possible over the Intermountain West,
driven by mainly orographic lift. A stray wet downburst is possible
across any of the aforementioned regimes. However, a relatively
greater chance for strong to potentially severe thunderstorms exists
with the remnants of Beryl across the OH Valley, as well as with
stronger storms embedded in the stronger flow aloft over parts of
New England.
...OH Valley...
The remnants of Beryl will track northeast from the mid-MS Valley to
the OH Valley while merging with the mid-level trough through the
period. At least low to mid 70s F dewpoints should advect northward
ahead of the surface cyclone (characterizing Beryl's remnants),
helping to boost surface-based instability to a degree. 20+ kts of
low-level southerly flow associated with the surface cyclone will be
overspread by 30-40 kts of southwesterly 500 mb flow from the
mid-level trough, contributing to sizable, curved hodographs. As
such, multicells and supercells are possible in the warm sector
across portions of the OH Valley, as also depicted by several
high-resolution CAM guidance members. While such conditions would be
favorable for damaging gusts and multiple brief tornadoes, concerns
remain regarding how unstable the warm sector will become.
Tropospheric lapse rates are expected to be quite poor (4.5-5.5
C/km), likely limiting MLCAPE to well below 1000 J/kg. Category
1/Marginal Risk probabilities have been maintained given buoyancy
concerns, though higher severe probabilities may be needed in later
outlooks if a mesoscale corridor of locally higher buoyancy,
coinciding with stronger low-level shear, can be ascertained. Based
on guidance trends, such a corridor (if it materializes) would most
likely be located somewhere along the OH River.
...Portions of New England...
Up to 50 kts of 500 mb westerly flow is expected to overspread much
of New England tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, contributing to
elongated, mostly straight hodographs and up to 40 kts of deep-layer
shear. Guidance shows that at least one small perturbation embedded
in the stronger flow aloft should traverse New England by afternoon
peak heating, encouraging storm development amid 500-1000 J/kg of
tall, thin CAPE. The straight, elongated hodographs suggest
multicells and brief, transient supercell structures will be the
likely storm modes, where a strong wind gust or two, along with some
hail, are possible with the stronger storms.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN/CENTRAL NEW YORK...
...SUMMARY...
Damaging gusts and a few tornadoes are possible mainly over portions
of central/northern Pennsylvania and western/central New York.
...Synopsis...
In mid/upper levels, a large anticyclone -- presently centered over south-central CA, will drift erratically northeastward to the
southern Great Basin through day 2. Downstream, large-scale
mid/upper-level troughing will persist over the central CONUS and
mid Mississippi Valley through the period, with very slow net
eastward shift. That will occur as the remains of TC Beryl eject
northeastward from present position over AR, where it already is
interacting with a midlatitude/low-level frontal zone. By the start
of the period at 10/12Z, the associated deep-layer low should be
over northern IN, with 500-mb trough southwestward across southern
IL to the Arklatex region.
The surface occluded/cold front should arc from that low across
portions of OH to a triple point in PA, then southwestward over the central/southern Appalachians to northern/western GA and the coastal
FL Panhandle, bending west-northwestward over the coastal LA region
as a stationary front, then a warm front over central/west-central
TX and southern NM. An eastern warm front should extend from the PA
triple point east-northeastward over eastern PA, southeastern NY and central/eastern New England. The eastern warm front should move
northward to central NY, and portions of VT/NH by 00Z. Meanwhile,
the cold front should reach central/eastern portions of PA/VA, NC,
and western SC, becoming quasistationary to warm over parts of
southern GA/AL/MS, then continuing as an increasingly diffuse warm
front from southern LA to north-central NM.
...Northeastern CONUS...
Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop
along/ahead of the cold front, near the warm front, and possibly
near a prefrontal surface trough over the outlook area from midday
through afternoon and shift eastward to northeastward. Activity
near the warm front will encounter a favorable parameter space for
supercells and a tornado risk, along with short lines or clusters of thunderstorms with damaging to severe gusts.
Veering winds with height should contribute to enlarged low-level shear/hodographs and deep shear (effective-shear magnitudes in the
45-55-kt range). Forecast soundings also suggest that a corridor of
diurnal heating in the warm sector will combine with rich low-level
moisture (surface dewpoints commonly upper 60s to low 70s F) to
offset modest mid/upper-level lapse rates, for low LCL and peak/
preconvective MLCAPE in the 1500-3000 J/kg range. Given the lack of
CINH and abundance of moisture, confidence in convective coverage
and supercell potential has increased enough to raise unconditional
severe probabilities a notch over the region.
...Portions of NM and west TX...
Strongly difluent flow aloft will exist over this region east and
southeast of the mid/upper high, while a series of minor shortwave perturbations and vorticity maxima move over the region in
northwesterly to northerly flow aloft. Moisture return into this
region over the next couple days, near the western limb of the
diffuse warm front, should support increasing thunderstorm
potential, with preferential initiation over higher terrain and convective/differential-heating boundaries. Low/middle-level flow
and shear will be weak, leading to multicellular storm mode. Enough
offset of strong heating/mixing by moist advection should persist
through much of the afternoon to sustain favorably deep/robust,
widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms atop high DCAPE over the
"marginal" area. As a result, an unconditional threat for isolated
severe downbursts exists, and a few small clusters may aggregate
outflow for a couple hours to boost convective wind potential
locally. The threat should wane quickly during the evening as the
near-surface layer stabilizes.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL INTO NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...AND CENTRAL INTO SOUTHERN
ARIZONA...
...SUMMARY...
A couple instances of severe gusts or hail are possible over the
central into northern High Plains tomorrow (Thursday). A couple of
severe gusts are also possible in central and southern Arizona
tomorrow evening.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough will deamplify across the Northeast as a mid-level
anticyclone meanders over the Interior West tomorrow (Thursday). The
overall synoptic pattern favors limited severe potential across the
CONUS, with isolated strong to severe storms possible along the
periphery of the anticyclone across the central/northern High
Plains, and in central to southern Arizona.
...Central and Southern High Plains...
Upslope flow will support widely scattered thunderstorm development
off of the higher terrain along the WY/SD/CO/NE border area by
afternoon peak heating. These thunderstorms will develop amid a
deep, well-mixed boundary layer extending up to 700 mb (per latest
forecast soundings), where 7.5-8.5 C/km low- and mid-level lapse
rates will be present. 10-15 kt southeasterly surface winds beneath
20-30 kt 500 mb flow, traversing the periphery of the anticyclone,
will result in slightly curved but elongated hodographs. As such,
the speed shear and steep lapse rates will be adequate in supporting
high-based multicells capable of producing a couple instances of
severe wind gusts and perhaps hail.
...Central and southern Arizona...
By late afternoon or early evening, the combination of strong
surface heating and orographic lift will support thunderstorm
initiation off of the higher terrain of the Mogollon Rim. Over 20
kts of northeasterly 500 mb flow will pivot around the south side of
the anticylone, aiding in thunderstorms moving off of the higher
terrain, atop a heated, well-mixed boundary layer, characterized by
8+ C/km low and mid-level lapse rates. Classic inverted-v forecast
soundings extend up to 600 mb, indicating high-based storms.
Vertical wind shear is not forecast to be overly strong. However,
faster storm motions aided by the stronger flow aloft may prevent
cold pools from quickly undercutting updrafts, allowing for
longer-term convective propagation and associated potential for a
couple of severe gusts.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
A couple instances of severe gusts and perhaps hail are possible
across the northern High Plains tomorrow (Friday).
...Synopsis...
Multiple impulses embedded in deamplifying cyclonic flow will
traverse the OH Valley into the Northeast as an upper-level
anticyclone dominates the Interior West and begins to impinge on the
Plains States tomorrow (Friday). While surface high pressure should
remain in place across much of the Intermountain West tomorrow,
surface lee troughing over the Plains will encourage a broad fetch
of rich low-level moisture across the MS Valley, which will continue
to advect northward through the period. By afternoon, thunderstorms
should develop over the northern High Plains. Given the increased
low-level moisture and modest deep-layer shear, a few thunderstorms
may become strong to severe.
...Northern High Plains...
By afternoon peak heating, a warm, well-mixed boundary layer will
become established across the northern High Plains, that in tandem
with the passing of a weak mid-level impulse pivoting around the
anticyclone, will support convective initiation. Forecast soundings
show the mixed boundary layer (and corresponding 9+ C/km lapse
rates) extending above 700 mb, suggesting that these storms should
be high-based in nature. Stronger flow aloft pivoting around the
anticyclone with the mid-level impulse should result in elongated
hodographs and subsequent potential for organized multicells capable
of a few severe gusts. An instance or two of hail may also accompany
the stronger storms cores in ND, where mid-level flow best coincides
with richer low-level moisture.
Strong WAA should continue across the northern Plains overnight,
potentially supporting the initiation of additional thunderstorms
over central ND. Some of the latest guidance suggests that a southward-propagating MCS could develop. However, nocturnal static
stability should also be settling in, so it is unclear how prevalent
severe gusts could become. An east-southeastward expansion of severe probabilities may be needed in future outlooks if the risk of a more
organized MCS becomes apparent.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Multiple clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are possible
across portions of the Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi
Valley on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
Upper ridging is forecast to be centered over the Four Corners early
Saturday morning, remaining largely in place for the remainder of
the period. An upper trough is expected to progress through
north-central Canada, contributing to moderate westerly mid-level
flow between this trough and the Four Corners ridging. A shortwave
trough will likely move through this westerly flow, progressing
across the northern Plains/southern Canadian Prairie Provinces into
the Upper Midwest. Primary surface low associated with this wave
will likely move just ahead of it from central Manitoba into far
northwestern Ontario. A secondary surface low may develop at the
triple point, with this low likely moving from central ND eastward
across northern MN.
Farther east, a shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward
from southern Quebec/western NY across the Northeast while
subtropical ridging persists over the Southeast.
...Eastern Dakotas into the Upper Midwest...
A very moist airmass will likely be in place from the eastern
Dakotas into the Upper Midwest on Saturday morning, preceding the
shortwave trough and associated surface features mentioned in the
synopsis. Some isolated thunderstorms may be ongoing across MN early
Saturday morning, supported by warm-air advection throughout the
warm sector. Evolution of this early morning convection is
uncertain, but it will likely shift gradually southeastward
throughout the morning, potentially persisting long enough to become surface-based in the northeast IA/southern WI/northern IL vicinity.
If this scenario is realized, the primary severe threat would be
damaging gusts.
Afternoon thunderstorm development also appears probable across
western MN as the surface low interacts with the warm and moist
airmass expected to be in place. Surface temperatures in the mid to
upper 80s/low 90s amid upper 60s/low 70 dewpoints will support
strong to very strong buoyancy, with MLCAPE over 3000 J/kg probable.
Moderate vertical shear is anticipated across the region, but precipitation-laden updrafts are still expected to promote a
predominantly outflow-dominant storm mode. Some outflow amalgamation
is possible, with the resulting convective line then progressing
southeastward into west-central WI. Primary severe threat is
damaging gusts, but isolated large hail is possible with early
cellular development. Outflow-dominant storm mode should keep the
tornado threat low, but more southerly flow is possible near the
surface low, with surface vorticity greater in this region as well.
This could result in some low-probability tornado potential.
...Northeast MT into northern ND...
Combination of low-level convergence along the lee trough and
moderate low-level moisture (likely via post-frontal upslope flow)
may result in convective initiation over northeast MT. Easterly
low-level flow veering to westerly aloft will support strong
vertical shear capable of maintaining a supercellular storm mode.
Large hail and/or damaging gusts are the primary risks with these
storms as the move eastward into northwest/northern ND.
...Western/Central SD and the NE Panhandle...
Isolated thunderstorm development is possible Saturday afternoon
amid the low-level convergence across western SD and the NE
Panhandle. High cloud bases and moderate northwesterly flow aloft
could support a few strong downbursts with any more robust
convection.
...Lower MO Valley/Ozark Plateau into the Lower OH Valley...
Thunderstorms may be ongoing over the Lower MO Valley/Ozark Plateau
early Saturday morning, supported by warm-air advection associated
with the low-level jet. These storms will likely be sub-severe, but
an associated convectively induced vorticity maximum may drift
eastward throughout the day, leading to additional storm development
during the afternoon across the Lower OH Valley. Current expectation
is that modest vertical shear should limit the severe potential
within these storms.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
NORTHERN/EASTERN ND INTO NORTHWEST MN...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the northern Plains
into the Upper Midwest on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
Upper ridging is forecast be over the Four Corners early Sunday
morning, with a belt of westerly flow aloft to its north extending
across the northern tier of the CONUS (i.e. from the Pacific
Northwest through the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes into the
Northeast). The upper ridging is expected to remain in place while a
series of low-amplitude shortwave troughs move quickly through the
belt of westerly flow aloft. The strongest of these shortwaves is
forecast to move southeastward across central and southern
Saskatchewan into the northern Plains late Sunday night/early Monday
morning. Subtropical ridging will continue to influence the sensible
weather across the Southeast.
The surface pattern early Sunday morning is less predictable,
particularly across the Upper Midwest where antecedent thunderstorms
and the potential influence of associated outflow on the cold front
introduce uncertainty. Current expectation is for a surface low to
be near the NE/SD/IA border intersection, with an outflow-augmented
cold front extending northeastward from this low across the IA/MN
border vicinity through east-central WI. The cold front will also
extend northwestward from the NE/SD/IA border low to another surface
low in northeast MT. The eastern portion of this front may shift
gradually southward into more of northern IA and southern WI
throughout the day, while the western portion remains largely in
place.
...Southern MN/Northern IA into Southern WI/Northern IL...
Strong buoyancy is expected to build near the composite outflow/cold
front throughout the morning and afternoon, supported by
temperatures in the upper 80s/low 90s and dewpoints in the low 70s.
Most guidance suggests MLCAPE will exceed 3000 J/kg across the
region by the late afternoon. However, large-scale forcing for
ascent will be nebulous and convergence along the front will be
modest, casting doubt to whether the convective inhibition expected
to be in place can be overcome. Robust updrafts are possible if
convective initiation is realized, with a conditional threat for
large hail and/or damaging downbursts. There is even some potential
for the development of an organized MCS if enough storms develop.
However, given the current uncertainty regarding initiation, only
low severe probabilities will be outlooked. Higher probabilities may
be needed if thunderstorm development appears more probable in
future outlooks.
...Far Eastern MT into the Dakotas and Northern NE/NE Panhandle...
The stalled front mentioned in the synopsis will likely sharpen
throughout the day as strong heating occurs to its west and modest
low-level moisture advection occurs to its east. Like areas farther
east, warm temperatures aloft and limited large-scale forcing for
ascent limit the predictability of convective initiation during the
afternoon and evening. Moderate to strong vertical shear suggests
that any storms that do develop could have fairly persistent
updrafts. High cloud bases and steep low-level lapse rate also
suggest that strong outflow is possible.
A more predictable severe threat is anticipated later in the evening
and overnight as the shortwave trough moving southeastward across
southern Saskatchewan moves into northeast MT and ND. Ascent
attendant to this system is expected to lead to elevated
thunderstorm development, with moderate buoyancy and shear promoting
organized storms. Large hail is possible with the initial
development, but a trend towards a more linear mode is anticipated
over time. Strong outflow should be able to penetrate any low-level
stability, with damaging gusts become the primary severe threat
Monday morning across ND and northwest MN.
...Lower MI into the Middle OH Valley...
Thunderstorms may be ongoing early Sunday morning across Lower MI,
remnant from overnight development across the Upper Midwest.
Isolated hail and/or damaging gusts are possible within the
strongest storms.
A convectively augmented vorticity maximum may move across the
region Sunday afternoon, contributing to the potential for afternoon thunderstorm development within the moist and moderately unstable
airmass in place. A damaging gust or two is possible, but weak
vertical shear is expected to mitigate the overall severe-storm
potential.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
MIDWEST INTO PORTIONS OF THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND UPPER GREAT
LAKES...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the Upper Midwest
into the Mid Mississippi Valley and Upper Great Lakes region on
Monday. Isolated severe thunderstorms are also possible across the
central Plains as well as south-central/southeast Arizona.
...Synopsis...
Upper ridging is forecast to persist across the southern CONUS on
Monday, while upper troughing extends across central Canada. A belt
of enhanced, broadly cyclonic upper flow will exist between these
two areas, extending across much of the northern CONUS. Several
shortwave troughs are expected to progress through this corridor,
with the most prominent wave extending from southern Manitoba
southward across the Dakotas early Monday. This shortwave is
forecast to progress eastward/east-southeastward across the Upper
Midwest, Upper Great Lakes, and southern/eastern Ontario. Another
shortwave trough, likely augmented by Sunday night's thunderstorms
over the Mid MS Valley, is expected to extend from Lower MI into the
Middle OH Valley early Monday night. This shortwave is then expected
to continue eastward through the Upper OH Valley and
Northeast/northern Mid-Atlantic during the day. Lastly, there is
some chance another shortwave trough progresses through the northern
periphery of the Southwest upper ridging, emerging into the central
Plains and continuing eastward in the Mid MS Valley. Guidance varies
on the amplitude and speed of this shortwave, which limits forecast
confidence on its potential evolution and impacts.
The surface pattern will be convoluted by several areas of
antecedent convection, particularly from the Upper Midwest into the
Mid MS and OH Valleys where storm outflow appears most likely.
General expectation is for warm front to extend eastward from a
surface low near the SD/NE/IA border intersection along the MN/IA
border vicinity into southern WI. This front will likely extend
eastward across the northern portions of the OH Valley, but with a
more stationary character. A cold front attendant to the
Manitoba/Dakotas shortwave is expected push southward across the
Dakotas and into NE and southeastward across the Upper Midwest. By
00Z this front will likely extend from a low over northwest Ontario southwestward to another low over north-central KS.
...Upper MS Valley into the Middle OH Valley and Lower MI...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing ahead of the cold front across
the Upper MS Valley early Monday morning. These early storms are
expected to be elevated, but should trend towards becoming more
surface based as they progress southeastward and the airmass
destabilizes. The strength of the buoyancy within the downstream
airmass will depend on the evolution of Sunday night's storms, with
at least some potential for some cooler and drier conditions.
However, consensus among the guidance is for low 70s dewpoints and
strong buoyancy during the afternoon. These thermodynamic
conditions, coupled with moderate vertical shear, would support
strong to severe thunderstorms. All severe hazards would be possible
within any more cellular storms, but a linear mode is expected to
dominant, with some potential for the development of an organized
MCS. Damaging gusts will be the primary risk across this region.
...Upper OH Valley into the northern Mid-Atlantic...
Afternoon/early evening thunderstorms are possible from
the Upper OH Valley into the Northeast as the modest, convectively
augmented shortwave trough interacts with the warm and moist airmass
over the region. Shear will likely be modest, mitigating the
potential for organized storms. However, moderate buoyancy and steep
low-level lapse rates will support to the potential for strong
downbursts with the more robust storms.
...Central High Plains into the Central Plains...
Some of the guidance, particularly the CAMs, has trended towards
more storm development across the central High Plains during the
late afternoon/early evening. The modest shortwave trough
progressing through the northern periphery of the upper ridge
mentioned in the synopsis appears to be the impetus for these
storms, providing the large-scale ascent needed for initiation. High
cloud bases and steep low-level lapse rates will support strong
outflow, with some cold-pool amalgamation and the development of an
organized MCS possible. Uncertainty regarding storm coverage and
location of greatest severe potential precludes higher probabilities
with this outlook.
...South-Central/Southeast AZ...
Modest easterly mid-level flow is expected across the region, which
will be located on the western periphery of the upper ridge.
Afternoon thunderstorm development is anticipated over the high
terrain, with storms then moving westward off into lower elevations.
A few strong gusts are possible as these storms move into the
well-mixed airmass over the lower elevations.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS...AND FROM THE UPPER OH VALLEY INTO WESTERN NY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the central Plains
across the Mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys into the Northeast on
Tuesday. Greater severe-thunderstorm potential is anticipated across
the central High Plains and from the Upper Ohio Valley into western
New York.
...Synopsis...
Western CONUS upper ridging is expected to build on Tuesday,
reaching into much of western Canada by early Wednesday morning.
Upper troughing is anticipated downstream across eastern Canada and
the northeast CONUS, anchored by a cyclone initially over far
northwest Ontario. This cyclone and associated troughing are
expected to progress eastward throughout the day, maintaining a
belt of moderate cyclonic flow aloft from the Upper Midwest across
the Upper Great Lakes, and into the Northeast.
Surface low associated with the Canadian cyclone will likely be
over eastern Ontario and southwest Quebec early Tuesday morning,
with a cold front extended southwestward from the low to another low
in central KS. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of this front,
with dewpoints ranging from the mid/upper 60s across KS increasing
into the low 70s across the OH Valley and then decreasing again into
the upper 60s across the Northeast. Thunderstorm development is
probable along the length of this front as it continues
southward/southeastward and the airmass diurnally destabilizes.
Thunderstorm development is also anticipated across the central
Rockies with progression into the central High Plains and central
Plains possible during the afternoon and evening.
...Central High Plains into the Central Plains...
Expectation is for thunderstorms to develop across the high terrain
of the central Rockies, within the westerly/northwesterly flow aloft
along the northern periphery of the Southwest ridge. Post-frontal
upslope flow is anticipated across the central High Plains, bringing
upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints into the Colorado Plains and supporting
moderate buoyancy. This may help support the development of strong
to severe storms as thunderstorms move off the higher terrain and
into this moderately buoyant airmass downstream. Moderate vertical
shear could help support greater updraft persistence and the
potential for organization into a more organized linear system, with maintenance into western and central KS possible. Damaging gusts are
the primary severe risk, but some isolated hail is possible as well.
Additional thunderstorm development appears possible Tuesday
afternoon in the north-central NE vicinity, near a secondary surface
low expected to drift southeastward from southwest SD into
north-central NE. Moderate buoyancy and vertical shear (supported by
deep northwesterly flow aloft) could help support cold-pool
organization with the resulting convective line progress
southeastward across NE and potentially into northern KS.
...North-Central OK through Lower MO and OH Valleys into the Northeast...
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected along the length of
the front Tuesday afternoon and evening. Much of the stronger
mid-level flow will be displaced north of the front and better
low-level moisture. However, despite relatively modest vertical
shear, strong buoyancy could still support robust updrafts and the
potential for precipitation loading and damaging gusts along the
length of the front. Some overlap between the stronger mid-level
flow and better buoyancy is possible from the Upper OH Valley into
western NY. Shear vector should be more orthogonal to the front
across this region as well. As a result, there appears to be a
greater potential for strong to severe storms here than areas
farther west, where generally weaker flow aloft and more
front-parallel vertical shear will limit storm organization.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
VIRGINIA INTO THE HUDSON VALLEY AND ADJACENT SOUTHERN
VERMONT/WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the
Carolinas into New England on Wednesday, with a corridor of greater
coverage from northeast Virginia into the Hudson Valley and adjacent
southern Vermont/western Massachusetts. Isolated strong to severe
thunderstorms are possible across the central High Plains as well.
...Synopsis...
Upper troughing is forecast to extend from Ontario through the Upper
Midwest early Wednesday morning, before gradually shifting eastward
throughout the day and ending the period extended from western
Quebec into the Mid MS Valley. Enhanced mid-level flow will extend
through the southern and eastern periphery of this upper trough,
stretching from the OH Valley into the Northeast throughout the
period. Surface low attendant to this upper trough will likely be
over Quebec early Wednesday, with an extensive cold front stretching
from this low southwestward into the northern portions of the
southern Plains. This front is forecast to progress eastward across
the Northeast, southeastward across the OH and TN Valleys, and
southward across the southern Plains throughout the day. A moist and
buoyant airmass will precede this front, and thunderstorms are
likely as it progresses downstream.
Farther west, an extensive upper ridge is forecast to extend from
the Southwest into western Canada early Wednesday morning. This
ridging is expected to remain in place throughout the period,
fostering a corridor of enhanced northwesterly flow aloft from
eastern MT into the central Plains, between the aforementioned upper
troughing and the upper ridge. Scattered thunderstorm coverage is
anticipated throughout the periphery of this ridge, including some
strong to severe storms across the central High Plains.
...Much of the East Coast...
Upper 60s to low 70s will precede the southeastward/eastward
progressing cold front expected to move into the region during the
afternoon. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected along
this front as it move into the moist and diurnally destabilized
airmass downstream. Mid-level lapse rates will be poor and profiles
will be relatively warm. Even so, temperatures in the 90s amid
dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s will still result in moderate
buoyancy, with afternoon MLCAPE likely ranging from 1500 J/kg over
southern New England to 2500 J/kg across the Carolinas.
This instability will be sufficient for robust updrafts, although
updraft organization will likely be limited to areas from the
Mid-Atlantic northward where mid-level flow will be stronger,
supporting greater vertical shear. As such, a predominantly
multicellular, outflow-dominant structure is anticipated from the TN
Valley into the GA and the Carolinas. To the north and east of these
areas (where the shear is greater), a more organized storm mode is
possible, supporting bowing line segments capable of damaging gusts.
Highest coverage of strong to severe storms is expected from
northeast VA into the Hudson Valley and adjacent southern VT and
western MA.
...Central High Plains...
Numerous thunderstorms appear likely across the central Rockies,
supported by increased mid-level moisture and northwesterly flow
within the eastern periphery of the extensive upper ridge covering
the western CONUS. Post-frontal upslope flow will bring favorable
low-level moisture into the central High Plains. Isolated strong to
severe thunderstorms may result as storms move off the higher
terrain into the moderately moist and buoyant airmass downstream.
High cloud bases will support strong outflow, with damaging gusts as
the primary severe threat. Isolated hail is possible closer to the
high terrain.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AS WELL AS FROM THE VIRGINIA
TIDEWATER ACROSS THE EASTERN CAROLINAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Thursday
afternoon across the central and southern High Plains as well as
from the Virginia Tidewater across the eastern Carolinas.
...Synopsis...
Upper pattern early Thursday will likely be characterized by an
expansive upper ridge extending from the Southwest into western
Canada and an upper trough extending from western Ontario into the
Mid MS Valley. The western ridging is expected to persist throughout
the period, while the eastern troughing deamplifies as an embedded
shortwave trough progresses eastward across Ontario, the Lower Great
Lakes and New England. Moderate northwesterly flow aloft will
persist between these two features over the High Plains.
The surface pattern will likely feature a strong high over the Upper
Midwest Thursday morning, with this high expected to gradually shift
eastward throughout the day. A cold front is expected along the
southern and eastern periphery of this high, beginning the period
extended from NJ southwestward across the TN Valley and Mid-South
into north TX. Some modest southeasterly/southerly progress of this
front is possible throughout the day, particularly across the
Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas, but it is also expected to become
increasingly diffuse from the Southeast westward into TX. Scattered
to numerous thunderstorms are expected along this front during the
afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms are also anticipated across the
Rockies and Intermountain West beneath the upper ridging, with some
chance for a few storms across the High Plains as well.
...Southern/Central High Plains...
Modest low-level moisture advection is anticipated along the western
periphery of the surface ridging. Daytime heating will promote deep boundary-layer mixing, but there should still be enough low-level
moisture to promote airmass destabilization. Low-level convergence
along the lee trough may result in convective initiation from
eastern WY/southwest SD/NE Panhandle southward into northeast NM.
Thunderstorms may also develop across the high terrain before then
progressing eastward/southeastward into the destabilized and
modestly buoyant airmass downstream. Southeasterly/easterly surface
wind veering to northwesterly aloft will promote moderate shear and
the potential for a few more organized bowing line segments capable
of damaging gusts. Isolated hail is also possible within the
stronger, more cellular storms.
...Eastern Carolinas into the VA Tidewater...
Thunderstorm development appears probable along the front as it
moves east-southeastward across the region during the afternoon.
Afternoon dewpoints in the low 70s will help support moderate
buoyancy, despite relatively warm mid-level temperatures and poor
lapse rates. The stronger westerly flow aloft will displaced north
of the region, but moderate mid-level flow is still expected over
the region, promoting the potential for a few more organized storms
as well as bowing line segments. Damaging gusts are the primary
severe hazard.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions
of the northern/central High Plains into the northern/central Plains
on Friday.
...Synopsis...
Expansive upper ridging is expected to be in place from the
Southwest into western Canada early Friday morning, with upper
troughing anticipated east of this ridging across the central/
eastern CONUS and much of eastern Canada. A shortwave trough
embedded within this eastern troughing is forecast to progress
eastward across Ontario and adjacent portions of the St. Lawrence
Valley and northern New England. Another shortwave trough is
forecast to progress through the northeastern periphery of the
western ridge, moving from eastern MT southeastward across the
northern High Plains and reaching the central Plains by early
Saturday.
Surface pattern early Friday will be dominated by a strong high over
the OH Valley, with a weak stationary front along its southern
periphery stretching from SC into the TX Hill Country. Warm and
moist conditions are expected along this boundary, helping to
support afternoon thunderstorms amid modest low-level convergence
along the front as well as in the vicinity of a convectively
generated vorticity maximum expected to move across the Lower MS
Valley and MS/AL. Storm severity should be mitigated by weak shear
and largely disorganized storm mode.
...Northern/Central High Plains into the northern/central Plains...
Surface lee troughing is anticipated across the High Plains, with
moderate low-level moisture east of this lee troughing across the
majority of the Plains. Afternoon thunderstorm development appears
probable along the lee trough as well as farther east into more of
SD and NE as the previously mentioned shortwave trough moves into
the region. Moderate northwesterly flow aloft will support a
southeasterly storm motion, taking any development into areas with
more favorable low-level moisture and stronger buoyancy.
Additionally, this moderate northwesterly flow aloft atop low-level
southerlies will help support moderate deep-layer vertical shear.
This shear could help organize initially high-based,
outflow-dominant storms into one or more coherent bowing segments
capable of damaging gusts. While this overall convective evolution
appears probable, where it occurs is less certain. Furthermore,
there is uncertainty regarding just how strong the gusts with this
line (or lines) will be. Uncertainties merit delaying the inclusion
of higher probabilities to later outlooks when these more mesoscale
details become predictable.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CAROLINAS INTO FAR SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions
of the Mid-Atlantic on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
A weak mid/upper flow regime is forecast across most of the CONUS on
Saturday. Upper troughing will envelop most of the central and
eastern portions of the country while an amplified upper ridge
persists across the western states. A convectively enhanced
shortwave impulse/vorticity maxima related to convection in the Day
1/Friday time period may be located over the central Plains/Mid-MO
Valley Saturday morning. Surface outflow tied to this activity could
be located over southern portions of the central Plains or northern
parts of the southern Plains, but confidence in this scenario is
low. Further east, surface high pressure will be in place over the
Midwest, with a stalled boundary on the southern periphery of the
surface high extending from the Mid-South to the Mid-Atlantic
vicinity. A seasonally moist airmass will be in place across parts
of the central/southern Plains into the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic and
areas of scattered to numerous thunderstorms are possible.
Overall, vertical shear will remain weak and thunderstorm activity
largely disorganized. Some modestly enhanced vertical shear is
possible over the central Appalachians/North Carolina vicinity. This
may overlap with surface dewpoints in the 70s and strong heating,
resulting in a corridor of moderate destabilization. Effective shear
magnitudes around 25-30 kt could support semi-organized multicell
clusters capable of producing locally damaging gusts.
Additional strong storm may develop over parts of KS into western OK
and the adjacent OK/TX Panhandles during the late afternoon/early
evening. Severe potential may become more probable if aforementioned
outflow boundaries exist over the region, providing some focus for
stronger convection. However, uncertainty is too high to include
probabilities at this time.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe-thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
A weak mid/upper flow regime will persist with upper ridging over
the West and upper troughing over the eastern two-thirds of the
CONUS. A seasonally moist and unstable airmass will envelop the
south-central and southeast states into the Mid-Atlantic, and less
moisture with northward extent across much of the eastern Plains
into the Midwest. Widespread thunderstorm activity is expected from
the southern/central Rockies into the Plains, Southeast and
Mid-Atlantic. A few areas of convectively enhanced vorticity maxima
may float through southwesterly flow over the Southeast to the
Carolinas, and in northwesterly flow from the central/southern High
Plains into OK/TX. Pockets of moderate destabilization will be
rather widespread across the vast warm sector east of the Rockies.
Sporadic strong storms producing gusty to locally damaging winds are
possible across the central/southern Plains vicinity eastward across
the southern tier of the U.S. Poor midlevel lapse rates and weak
vertical shear, along with a lack of large-scale ascent, will
preclude focused areas of organized severe convection.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe-thunderstorm potential appears low on Monday.
...Synopsis...
The persistent upper-level pattern featuring a ridge over the west
and a trough in the central/eastern U.S. will continue on Monday.
Some very minor enhancement to mid/upper west/southwesterly flow is
possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic/central Appalachian
vicinity as several minor vorticity maxima migrate through the
eastern periphery of the upper trough. However, generally weak
deep-layer flow will prevail over the CONUS. A moist summertime
airmass will exist east of the Rockies, while pockets of stronger destabilization supports widespread thunderstorm activity. Overall,
organized severe potential appears low.
...PA/WV into the Mid-Atlantic/Chesapeake Bay vicinity...
Vertically veering, but weak low-level flow beneath 25-40 kt
southwesterly flow near/above 500 mb will result in 30-40 kt
effective shear magnitudes. Typically this would aid in organized
thunderstorm activity. However, lapse rates are forecast to remain
very poor over the region. Furthermore, areas of morning convection
are depicted across parts of NC/VA with broader areas of cloud cover
possible further north. Overall, destabilization is forecast to be
weak. If any pockets of stronger heating occur, a few strong storms
could produce wet microbursts given PW values nearing 2 inches.
However, lackluster thermodynamic profiles suggest thunderstorm
activity should largely remain disorganized and sub-severe,
precluding severe probabilities at this time.
...Eastern ND/central MN/northwest WI...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a
southward-moving surface boundary Monday afternoon and evening.
Surface dewpoints in the mid-60s F will contribute to MLCAPE around
1000-1500 J/kg. Vertical shear is expected to remain very weak over
the region, but sufficient instability, along with modestly steep
low-level lapse rates may support brief strong thunderstorms. Gusty
winds may accompany this activity, or perhaps small hail given
somewhat cool temperatures aloft, but overall severe potential
appears low.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe-thunderstorm potential appears low on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
Upper troughing will continue over the Great Lakes into the
Mid-South on Tuesday. Some minor increase in mid/upper flow is
forecast as the trough deepens over the Great Lakes, while the
subtropical high over the western Atlantic pushes closer to the
Mid-Atlantic coast. While this will result in some modest increase
to mid/upper southwesterly flow over the central Appalachians into
southern New England, minor height rises and midlevel warming also
will occur. A very moist airmass will exist across the Mid-Atlantic
vicinity amid weak to moderate instability, supporting scattered to
widespread thunderstorm activity. However, generally unfavorable
vertical wind profiles coupled with poor midlevel lapse rates will
limit organized severe thunderstorm potential. Nevertheless, high PW
values and pockets of steepening low-level lapse rates where
stronger heating occurs could still result in sporadic wet
microbursts and locally strong gusts.
Further east, a weak surface low will shift from the upper MS Valley
toward Lower MI and eastern Ontario. As this occurs, a cold front
will develop southward across the Upper Midwest into IA, northern IL
and Lower MI. A seasonally moist airmass and a band of weak to
moderate instability will exist ahead of the front, supporting
isolated to scattered thunderstorm development. However, vertical
shear will remain very weak, and thunderstorm activity will likely
remain pulse-like/disorganized, limiting severe potential.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NORTHERN OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA INTO NEW YORK...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce damaging gusts
across parts of northern Ohio and Pennsylvania into New York
Wednesday afternoon and evening.
...Synopsis...
An upper shortwave trough over the upper Great Lakes will develop
eastward toward the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes vicinity on
Wednesday. At the same time, the sub-tropical high over the western
Atlantic will scoot westward toward the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
This will result in an increasing/tightening height gradient across
the Northeast as the upper trough develops east, and southwesterly
mid/upper flow will increase from the Ohio Valley into the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Further west, an upper shortwave trough
will develop east/southeast over the Pacific Northwest and northern
Rockies, while an upper anticyclone persists over the Southwest. As
the Pacific Northwest trough moves east, an upper ridge will
overspread the central Rockies to the northern Plains.
At the surface, a weak low will track northeast from the Lake Huron
vicinity into southern Quebec. A trailing cold front will sag
south/southeast across northern IL/IN/OH/PA and western NY during
the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Meanwhile, a surface
trough will extend southwest across the Chesapeake Bay vicinity into
central NC. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of the surface
cold front and near the surface trough, aiding in at least weak to
moderate destabilization. These boundaries also will focus
thunderstorm potential during the afternoon and evening hours.
Further west, a baroclinic zone will exist over the northern Plains
as a surface low deepens over the Canadian Prairies and high
pressure builds over the upper Great Lakes. South/southeasterly
low-level flow will allow for 60s F dewpoints across central/eastern
portions of the Dakotas. However, capping within the amplifying
upper ridge will likely preclude thunderstorm development.
...Northern OH/PA into NY...
Increasing mid/upper-level southwesterly flow will support around
30-35 kt effective shear magnitudes by afternoon. Midlevel lapse
rates will remain modest, but heating into the 80s and dewpoints in
the mid/upper 60s F will allow for MLCAPE as high as 1500 J/kg.
Stronger height falls will likely not occur until around/after 00z,
somewhat misaligned with peak heating. Nevertheless, increasing
vertical shear and modest large-scale ascent, coupled with the
approaching cold front should support at least isolated to scattered thunderstorm development during the afternoon. Elongated hodographs
and modest vertically veering wind profiles suggest organized cells,
with perhaps transient supercell characteristics, will be possible.
Steepening low-level lapse rates will support sporadic
strong/locally damaging gusts. A couple of the strongest cells may
produce marginal hail.
...Southeast VA into central/eastern NC...
Thunderstorms are expected to develop within a very moist and
unstable airmass Wednesday afternoon. While midlevel flow will
gradually increase, vertical shear will remain marginal for
organized convection, especially until after 00z. Given the high
PW/moderately unstable airmass, a wet microburst or two will be
possible. However, modest vertical shear and poor midlevel lapse
rates preclude severe probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorm may produce gusty/locally
damaging winds on Thursday across parts of northern Mid-Atlantic
vicinity.
...Northern Mid-Atlantic...
An upper trough will progress eastward across the Northeast on
Thursday. Ahead of this feature, southwesterly mid/upper level flow
will increase to around 30-45 kt between 700 and 500 mb, supporting
effective shear magnitudes around 30-40 kt. Cloudiness is expected
across much of the Eastern Seaboard, and pockets of showers,
especially across eastern VA/NC, are possible. This will likely
inhibit stronger destabilization despite a very moist airmass. A
narrow corridor of modest instability overlapping with favorable
shear ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front may develop roughly
along the I-95 corridor northern VA into southern NJ. Forecast
soundings within this corridor suggest organized cells (perhaps marginal/transient supercells) will be possible, posing mainly a
risk of locally strong/severe gusts during the afternoon/early
evening.
...Northern Great Basin into Central MT...
An upper shortwave trough will migrate east across the northern
Rockies vicinity. A belt of moderate to strong mid/upper
southwesterly flow will become oriented over portions of ID/MT into
the Canadian Prairies. At the surface, boundary-layer moisture will
be limited and strong heating/deep mixing will result in inverted-v
sub-cloud layer thermodynamic profiles. Steep midlevel lapse rates
however, will support around 500-750 J/kg MLCAPE. While
southwesterly flow near/above 500 mb will increase through the
afternoon, vertical shear is not forecast to be very strong.
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected over higher terrain
during the afternoon. Generally modest vertical shear the deeply
mixed boundary layer may limit organized convection, especially as
storms try to track east into lower elevations ahead of a
southeastward surging cold front during the evening. Inhibition is
also expected to increase with eastward extent across MT. A few
strong gusts are possible, but confidence in greater coverage of
potentially severe thunderstorms is too low to include probabilities
at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
SOUTHEAST MONTANA AND NORTHEAST WYOMING INTO WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA...AND ACROSS FAR EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHWEST MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the
northern High Plains and far eastern North Dakota into northwest
Minnesota on Friday.
...Synopsis...
A more progressive upper pattern in expected on Friday as an upper
trough develops westward across the western U.S. This will shunt the
Plains upper ridge east, extending from the Great Lakes, southward
to the Gulf Coast states. While the upper trough envelops much of
the western U.S., an upper anticyclone will remain centered over
northern Baja, and extend northeast into AZ/NM. At the surface, a
cold front will extend southward across the western Dakotas early in
the day. The northern extent of the front will develop east toward
the ND/MN border by 00z, while the SD portion of the front stalls
and becomes diffuse. Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes will
maintain a mostly dry airmass from the Ohio Valley into the
Northeast in the wake of a prior cold frontal passage. Meanwhile, a
baroclinic zone over the Upper Midwest will allow for rich boundary
layer moisture beneath the eastward-develop upper ridge.
Southwesterly low-level flow across northwest Mexico into AZ will
bring modest boundary-layer moisture into the southern AZ deserts as
well.
...WY into western SD and Vicinity...
Boundary-layer moisture is expected to modestly return in the wake
of the morning cold front as the boundary stalls over
western/central SD. Low-level flow is expected to become
east/southeasterly during the afternoon, allowing for modest
moisture return and destabilization in this post-frontal upslope
flow regime. Forecast guidance suggests at least isolated
thunderstorms will develop as large-scale ascent increases in
response to a shortwave impulse migrating through southwesterly
flow, generating modest height falls across the region. Forecast
soundings indicate a deeply mixed boundary layer with inverted-v
thermodynamic sub-cloud profiles amid 25 kt effective shear
magnitudes. Isolated strong/severe gusts may accompany thunderstorm
activity during the evening, especially if clustering/outflow
consolidation occurs.
...Eastern ND into MN...
Thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of the
eastward-advancing cold front by late Friday afternoon as the
boundary impinges on richer boundary layer moisture. Initial capping
should erode as the upper ridge shifts east toward the Great Lakes,
resulting in falling heights/cooling aloft while warm advection
continues in the low-levels. Even if weak capping is maintained,
elevated convection is still expected. A narrow corridor of MLCAPE
up to 2500 J/kg is forecast amid effective shear magnitudes around
35 kt, supporting robust updrafts and marginal supercells. Isolated
hail will be possible in addition locally strong gusts.
...AZ...
Modest boundary layer moisture and steep lapse rates will support
around 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE. Thunderstorms will once again develop
over higher terrain and move south during the evening. Mid and
upper-level flow will be a bit more northerly compared to the prior
few days and fairly weak (generally less than 15 kt). Nevertheless,
deep mixing and inverted-v thermodynamic profiles will support
sporadic strong gusts. Given somewhat less favorable flow compared
to recent days, will hold off on marginal wind probabilities at this
time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN NORTH
DAKOTA AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely across portions of the
northern Plains vicinity on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
On Saturday, a broad upper-level trough will extend from British
Columbia to the western Great Basin with a closed low across the
Canadian Prairies. An elongated upper-level ridge will extend from
the Southwest into the Great Lakes with a weak closed upper low near
eastern Oklahoma/western Arkansas. At the surface, high pressure
will dominate the Great Lakes to the Northeast with low-pressure
across the northern Plains. A cold front will extend from the
Canadian Prairies into the Dakotas. This cold front will move east
across the Dakotas and northern Nebraska on Saturday.
...Northern Plains...
A weak mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly through North
Dakota and northwest Minnesota Saturday morning and will likely have
ongoing precipitation/thunderstorms. In the wake of this activity,
low-level southerly flow is expected to strengthen in response
strengthening lee troughing and a tightening pressure gradient in
the northern Plains. This will assist in advecting rich low-level
moisture (upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints) across eastern North
Dakota and northwest Minnesota. As temperatures heat well into the
80s, inhibition should erode with thunderstorms likely developing
along and ahead of the cold front by late afternoon/early evening.
Straight hodographs with 40 to 50 knots of mid-level flow will
support supercells with a threat for large hail and damaging wind
gusts. During the evening, guidance is consistent with a
strengthening southwesterly low-level jet, which may promote upscale
growth into a MCS which could persist into the late evening into
northwest Minnesota.
Additional thunderstorms will likely develop along and ahead of the
cold front in South Dakota and Nebraska. However, this region is
well south of the stronger mid-level flow. In addition, forecast
soundings show a deeply mixed airmass across this region with
substantially less instability. Nonetheless, the inverted-v
soundings would support isolated strong to severe wind gusts with
any stronger updrafts which develop.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
SOUTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the central/northern Plains on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level low across Arkansas/eastern Oklahoma will start to
fill and accelerate northeast as an open wave on Sunday. A low
amplitude mid-level trough will remain centered across the western
CONUS with several embedded mid-level impulses within moderate
southwesterly flow from the Great Basin to the northern Plains.
Farther east, a mid-level trough will become a cutoff low over the
Gulf Stream and start to retrograde toward the New England coast
late in the forecast period.
Persistent southwesterly mid-level flow will result in lee troughing
across the Plains and strengthening southerly surface flow. This
will bring renewed Gulf moisture northward into the Upper Midwest
and northern Plains.
...Central/Northern Plains...
A surface low will likely be located somewhere across western South
Dakota on Sunday and will only drift slightly east through the day.
East of this surface low, southerly winds will increase low-level
moisture with dewpoints increasing to the upper 60s/near 70 by 00Z.
By late afternoon, a warm front is forecast to become better defined
across north-central South Dakota which, in addition to the cold
front/dryline, should be a source for thunderstorm development as a
mid-level shortwave trough approaches the region during the
afternoon/evening. Moderate flow associated with this mid-level
shortwave trough should result in 35 to 40 knots of effective shear
by late afternoon which would be sufficient for supercells. Moderate instability and moderate shear will support a large hail threat,
while inverted-v thermodynamic profiles will also support a severe
wind threat. The low-level jet axis is mostly southeast of the
greatest upper-level support and thus, upscale growth into an MCS
remains uncertain. However, storm coverage may be great enough for
upscale growth into one or more MCSs which could maintain some
severe weather threat into the overnight hours across southern
Minnesota and western Iowa where the low-level jet is forecast to
strengthen to 35 to 45 knots Sunday night.
A Slight Risk has been introduced across South Dakota, in proximity
to the mid-level shortwave trough, where greater storm coverage
appears likely. Elsewhere, northeast to the Canadian border and
farther south across Nebraska and northern Kansas, storm coverage
remains more questionable, which precludes higher probabilities at
this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND THE MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms are possible in portions of the
Midwest and the northern Plains on Monday.
...Synopsis...
A broad upper-level ridge will be centered over the central CONUS on
Monday with a trough near the West Coast and a closed low near New
England. Several weak mid-level shortwave troughs will move through
the flow and may be the trigger for strong to severe thunderstorm
activity. A broad surface trough will extend from the Upper Midwest
to the central Plains with a very moist airmass east of this surface
trough.
...Northern Plains...
A mid-level shortwave trough will cross the Dakotas during the day
Monday and lead to increasing ascent amid a moderately unstable
environment. 35 to 50 knots of mid-level flow will accompany this
mid-level trough and lead to 35 to 45 knots of effective shear.
Considerable uncertainty remains with the degree of destabilization
across the Dakotas. Forecast soundings show surface dewpoints
ranging from the mid 50s to the mid 60s F which will significantly
impact the degree of instability within the warm sector and likely
impact the coverage and intensity of the severe weather threat.
Nonetheless, the ascent associated with the shortwave trough and an
uncapped environment should result in storm development Monday
afternoon in the Dakotas. Moderate shear and steep lapse rates will
support a threat for large hail (potentially 2+ inch if greater
instability scenarios verify) and the deeply mixed boundary layer
will support a severe wind threat. The severe weather threat is
expected to wane shortly after sunset given increasing inhibition
and the low-level jet being displaced well southeast.
...Midwest...
A MCS/cluster of storms will likely be ongoing in the vicinity of
eastern IA/MO and western Illinois on Monday morning. The low-level
jet is expected to weaken during the morning hours which will likely
lead to the demise of the morning convection. In its wake,
significant destabilization is anticipated with a moderate to
strongly unstable airmass expected. Weak height rises will likely be
somewhat counteracted by continued weak low-level isentropic ascent
which may be sufficient for storm development along the remnant
outflow Monday afternoon/evening. Uncertainty in exact storm
evolution remains high, but there is at least some potential for
upscale growth into a MCS, particularly across Illinois, which may
necessitate greater severe weather probabilities.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF IOWA...WESTERN ILLINOIS...AND FAR NORTHEAST MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible across a broad
region from the northern Plains to the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and
Carolinas. A more concentrated severe wind threat is possible across
portions of the Corn Belt.
...Synopsis...
On Tuesday, a mid-level trough across the western CONUS will start
to advance east across the northern Rockies. This will start to
deamplify the mid-level ridge across the northern Plains while
another weak trough will advance east across the central
Appalachians. At the surface, lee troughing will strengthen somewhat
across the Plains with rich moisture extending from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Upper Midwest. This will result in a broad region of
moderate to strong instability along and south of a stationary
boundary which will extend from the Ohio Valley to the Northern
Plains.
...Iowa, Northeast Missouri, and West/Northwest Illinois...
A remnant convective complex from D1/Monday will likely be in the
vicinity of western Iowa at 12Z Tuesday. As the low-level jet
weakens Tuesday morning, the convective complex will likely weaken
with potentially remnant outflow boundaries in the region. Some
guidance indicates a supercell or two persisting along the outflow
boundary through the morning and into the afternoon. This is
possible given forecast soundings show inhibition eroding by late
morning. However, given the lack of greater forcing across the
region, this scenario remains uncertain.
Some weak ascent is expected across northern Iowa late Tuesday afternoon/evening as a weak shortwave trough approaches from the
west and the low-level jet begins to strengthen. Assuming morning
convection has not grown upscale and augmented the environment, a
very favorable environment should be present with forecast soundings
suggesting 3000 to 4000 J/kg MLCAPE, 40 knots of effective shear,
and 8.5 to 9 C/km mid-level lapse rates. If storms can develop
within this environment, severe weather is likely with rapid growth
upscale into a severe wind producing MCS. Despite a pattern
favorable for a severe MCS, uncertainties remain given the lack of a
clear forcing signal and likely significant impacts from the Day 1
convection. A slight risk has been introduced for the region with
the most favorable environment, but adjustments/upgrades may be
necessary in later outlooks, once the most favorable corridor
becomes more clear.
...Ohio Valley to the Carolinas...
A MCS will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period across Kentucky/Tennessee. Forecast soundings indicate only minimal heating
will be needed ahead of this convective complex to erode inhibition
with most guidance showing minimal CINH by 15-16Z. Therefore, it is
possible this MCS will continue east through the day and eventually
reach the Atlantic Coast.
Even if the MCS does not strengthen during the late morning and
maintain itself through the day, additional thunderstorms are
expected (perhaps along a remnant MCV leftover from the MCS) and
within the uncapped airmass. 2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE and around 25
knots of shear (as forecast by NAM/RAP forecast soundings) will be
sufficient for a few strong to severe storms Tuesday
afternoon/evening.
...Northern Plains...
Weak height falls amid moderate to strong instability may lead to
some thunderstorm development along a surface trough/dryline across
the Dakotas Tuesday afternoon. Given the lack of a consolidated
mid-level speed max, deep-layer shear varies significantly within
model guidance during the afternoon/evening. This will affect storm organization and intensity. If stronger mid-level flow (30-35+
knots) can overspread the warm sector during the afternoon/evening,
a greater severe weather threat may materialize. However, that
scenario remains uncertain at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms are possible from the Plains to
the southern Great Lakes and the Appalachians to portions of New
England.
...Synopsis...
On Wednesday, a relatively zonal mid-level pattern will exist across
the CONUS with several embedded shortwave troughs. The easternmost
of these mid-level troughs will advance east across the Appalachians
and off the Atlantic Coast on Wednesday. A weak, potentially
convectively enhanced shortwave trough, may move through the
northwesterly flow across the Midwest/southern Great Lakes. The
strongest/most pronounced mid-level shortwave trough will cross the
central Plains during the day on Wednesday. At the surface, a weak
surface low will be located in the Nebraska vicinity with a very
moist (mid to upper 70s dewpoints) airmass to its east.
...Central Plains into the Upper Midwest...
Temperatures will warm into the 90s to low 100s F in the central
Plains south of a surface low across NE/KS. Where this hot,
deeply-mixed airmass overlaps a slightly cooler and less mixed
airmass across eastern Kansas and Nebraska, very strong to extreme
instability is anticipated. Thunderstorms are expected along the
surface trough from eastern South Dakota to the Texas Panhandle
given the hot airmass and height falls associated with the mid-level
shortwave trough traversing the Plains. The hot, and deeply mixed
boundary layer across Kansas will support a threat for severe wind
gusts. However, more organized storms are anticipated across eastern
Nebraska and South Dakota where moderately strong mid-level flow
(potentially approaching 45-50 knots), overspreads the region. This
will result in shear favorable for supercells capable of large hail
and severe wind gusts initially with upscale growth likely during
the evening as the low-level jet strengthens. Overnight
maintenance/intensity of this MCS remains questionable as
upper-level forcing associated with the mid-level trough continues,
while inhibition increases and the low-level jet veers.
...Ohio Valley...
A MCS will likely be ongoing somewhere from eastern Missouri to
western Indiana on Wednesday morning. Destabilization is expected to
be rapid with inhibition eroded by mid-morning. This may allow for
some re-intensification of this MCS as it moves into the lower Ohio
Valley and eventually into Tennessee before eventually likely
struggling as low-mid level temperatures increase. In the wake of
this MCS, an outflow could be a focus for isolated thunderstorm
development Wednesday afternoon/evening. The environment would be
favorable for severe weather with moderate to strong instability and
45-50 knots of mid-level flow. However, height rises through the day
will likely keep any storm coverage relatively sparse.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL/NORTH-CENTRAL ILLINOIS...CENTRAL INDIANA...SOUTHWEST
OHIO...AND FAR NORTHERN KENTUCKY...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible in portions of the Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level shortwave trough across the Upper Midwest will become
increasingly positively tilted during the day Thursday as it moves
east toward the southern Great Lakes. This trough will
sharpen/amplify somewhat as it advances southeast. A weak surface
low will likely accompany this trough, and advance to the southern
Lake Michigan vicinity by 00Z Friday.
...Midwest into the Ohio Valley...
There is decent model agreement in a MCS across central/northern
Illinois on Thursday morning. It remains unclear whether this MCS
will maintain through the morning with the potential for additional strengthening during the afternoon across Indiana/Ohio or if it will
wane with additional development on its southern flank Thursday afternoon/evening. Either way, the environment ahead of and south of
this MCS is expected to warm into the 90s with dewpoints in the mid
to upper 70s. This will yield strong to extreme instability. This
instability combined with 25 to 30 knots of effective shear ahead of
the mid-level trough will support a threat for organized storms
capable of large hail and severe wind gusts.
If storm activity is somewhat limited during the day Thursday across
Indiana and Ohio, some threat should still exist during the evening.
Additional thunderstorm development is likely across northern
Illinois Thursday evening, and if the airmass ahead of this storm
activity has not been overturned, a MCS could develop and track
across Indiana and Ohio during the overnight hours. Despite the
uncertainty in the exact evolution of storms on Thursday, the most
favorable region from east-central Illinois to southwest Ohio seems
like the most likely corridor to be impacted by strong to severe
storms at some point during the convective day on Thursday.
...Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic...
A weak to moderately unstable airmass is expected by Thursday
afternoon east of the Appalachians from southern Pennsylvania to
northern North Carolina with greater instability across southern
North Carolina and northern South Carolina. A weak lee trough will
develop across the region which could be a focus for widely
scattered thunderstorms on Thursday afternoon. Additionally, a few
storms may develop through terrain circulations over the mountains
and along the sea-breeze along the Atlantic Coast. Upper-level
forcing remains nebulous and therefore, storm development will
likely be isolated to widely scattered. However, 25 to 30 knots of
shear amid moderate instability will be sufficient for some threat
for hail and damaging wind gusts.

VALLEY TO THE SOUTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC...
CORRECTED FOR GENERAL THUNDERSTORM LINE FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to occasionally severe storms are possible on
Friday from the Ohio/Tennessee Valley to the Atlantic Coast.
...Synopsis...
A upper low across northeast Illinois Friday morning will move
slowly east through the day before stalling Friday night in the
Upper Ohio Valley. A surface low in the southern Great Lakes region
will weaken during the day with a diffuse cold front extending from
central Ohio to the Mid-Mississippi Valley.
...Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and the Southeast...
A very moist airmass will remain across the Ohio Valley/Tennessee
Valley to the Atlantic Coast on Friday. Therefore, moderate to
strong instability is expected across much of the region as
temperatures warm into the 90s. Weak height falls, a weak/diffuse
cold front, and lee troughing east of the Appalachians will all
support widespread thunderstorm activity Friday afternoon/evening.
Deep-layer shear will be relatively weak (15 to 20 knots), but the
strongly unstable environment and hot/moist boundary layer will
support the threat for some strong to severe storms with a primary
threat of severe gusts.
...Southern Arizona...
Monsoon moisture is forecast to surge northward into southern
Arizona on Friday as temperatures warm over 100F. Southeasterly
mid-level flow of 15-20 knots around the southern periphery of the
mid-level ridge will aid in storm organization and may result a few
strong to severe storms. The deeply mixed boundary layer will
support a primary threat of severe gusts. If storms can congeal once
they move off the higher terrain, higher probabilities may be
warranted.

LONG ISLAND...AND NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN...MUCH OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND ADJACENT SOUTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong thunderstorms accompanied by potentially damaging
wind gusts may impact the Southeastern Piedmont and adjacent
portions of the coastal plain into northern Mid Atlantic Saturday
afternoon and evening. Other widely scattered strong to severe
thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Upper Midwest into
adjacent portions of the northern Great Plains late Saturday
afternoon and evening.
...Synopsis...
Models continue to indicate that mid-level flow across the northern mid-latitudes will undergo at least some amplification through this
period. By Saturday night, this is forecast to include a building
ridge across the northeastern Pacific through Alaska and adjacent
portions of northwestern Canada. Downstream, flow across the
Minnesota international border vicinity through the upper Great
Lakes may trend broadly cyclonic, to the southwest of a significant
deep-layer cyclone slowly progressing across the eastern shores of
Hudson Bay into northern Quebec.
In lower latitudes, a weak short wave perturbation may suppress
ridging across the northern Intermountain Region. Otherwise,
ridging appears likely to remain prominent across much of the West
into the Great Plains, with an embedded high becoming centered over
the Four Corners states. As downstream ridging across the
subtropical western Atlantic builds northwestward toward the Mid
Atlantic coast, troughing between the ridges is forecast to become
increasingly sheared across the southern Appalachians through
southern New England. At the same time, a tropical perturbation
emerging from the Caribbean vicinity may begin impacting the Florida
Straits and southern Florida Peninsula late Saturday into Saturday
night.
Beneath this regime, some lower/mid-tropospheric drying appears
likely to continue spreading southward through the southeastern
Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, with seasonably high
moisture content (including a plume of precipitable water in excess
of 2 inches) largely confined to the southeast of the southern
Appalachians through the New England coast. However, lingering
low-level moisture beneath an east-southeastward advecting plume of
warm elevated-mixed layer air may contribute large potential
instability ahead of a cold front advancing southward through the
northern Great Plains and Upper Midwest.
...Mid/Southern Atlantic Seaboard...
Although the approaching mid-level trough is forecast to become
increasingly sheared and weaken, the height gradient between the
troughing and the downstream building ridge may maintain modest south-southwesterly mid-level flow (on the order of 20-30 kt) to the
lee of the Appalachians on Saturday. Beneath this regime, within
the lee surface troughing, a moist boundary-layer including 70 F+
dew points appears likely to contribute to large CAPE in excess of
2000-3000 J/kg with daytime heating. Given weak mid-level
inhibition, it appears that this will support considerable
thunderstorm development, with strongest storms posing a risk for
producing damaging wind gusts, aided by heavy precipitation loading
and downward mixing of momentum.
...Northern Great Plains/Upper Midwest...
Convective development appears likely to largely hinge on one or two
subtle perturbations progressing through northwesterly flow near the base/southwestern flank of the large-scale mid-level troughing.
Substantive spread exists among the various model output, including
the convection allowing guidance. While it appears that
thunderstorm development may remain isolated to widely scattered in
coverage, shear beneath the northwesterly mid-level regime will be
sufficient for supercells and one or two widely scattered upscale
growing clusters with potential to produce strong wind gusts may not
be out of the question Saturday evening.
...Florida...
Beneath a warm mid-level environment, models (NAM in particular)
suggest that precipitation preceding the developing tropical
perturbation may stabilize the boundary layer across much of the
interior peninsula Saturday through Saturday night. While trends
will need to continue to be monitored, the risk for severe weather
through this period currently appears low.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN FL
INTO EASTERN GA AND SOUTHERN SC...ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPPER
MIDWEST...AND FROM THE UPPER OH VALLEY INTO NEW ENGLAND...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms are possible Monday into Monday night
from the Upper Ohio Valley into New England, across portions of the
Upper Midwest, and from northern Florida into southern Georgia and
southeast South Carolina.
...Synopsis...
A belt of enhanced westerlies is forecast to extend across the
length US/Canada border, from the Pacific Northwest through the
northern Plains/Upper Midwest and Northeast. Several shortwave
troughs will be embedded within these westerlies, the most prominent
of which is a wave that is forecast to progress quickly from central
Ontario through southern Quebec and northern ME. Another,
low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to move through the
northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Upper Great Lakes.
Expansive upper ridging is expected to remain centered over the Four
Corners, extending from the southern Great Basin vicinity through
the lower MS Valley. Tropical Cyclone Debby is expected to move
between the eastern periphery of the Four Corners ridge and
subtropical ridging over the western Atlantic, progressing across
northern FL and reaching the southeast GA/southern SC vicinity by
early Tuesday morning.
Surface pattern early Monday is expected to feature a low over the
central SD/NE border vicinity, with a stationary front extending
eastward from this low across central IA, northern IL, and southern
Lower MI before arcing more northeastward along the St. Lawrence
Valley to another low over New Brunswick. Eastern portion of this
front is expected to progress southeastward across the Northeast
throughout the day, while the portion of the front closer to the
SD/NE surface low transitions to a warm front amid southerly
low-level flow ahead of the low.
A cold front will extend westward from the SD/NE surface low into
eastern WY, where it intersects lee troughing extending across the
northern and central High Plains. This front is expected to push
southward across the central Plains as the low progresses eastward/southeastward through IA.
...Northern FL into southern GA and far southern SC...
Tropical cyclone Debby is forecast to progress across northern FL
throughout the day, reaching the southeast GA/southern SC vicinity
by early Tuesday morning. Strong low-level flow attendant to this
system will support the potential for tornadoes within deeper, more
persistent updrafts. These updrafts are most likely in the areas
where dewpoints exceed 74/75 deg F. This appears most likely across
northern FL and southeast GA. However, a more westerly track would
allow this more favorable low-level moisture to penetrate inland
more of southern GA and perhaps even southern SC. 5-percent tornado probabilities were adjusted northward to account for this
possibility.
...Northern OH Valley through the Northeast/New England...
Thunderstorm development is anticipated Monday afternoon along the
length of the cold front extending from ME into northern IN/OH.
Dewpoints ranging from the mid 60s across central ME to the low 70s
across IN/OH will support moderate buoyancy, with the strongest
buoyancy across the OH Valley where greater low-level moisture
exists. Moderate mid-level flow will extend across the region as
well, with the stronger flow and greater vertical shear expected
across New England. While there is some displacement between the
strongest shear and greatest buoyancy, there is still enough overlap
to support scattered strong to severe storms, including even some
supercells across New England. Damaging gusts will be the primary
severe hazard.
...Upper Midwest...
Late afternoon/evening thunderstorm development is expected near the
surface low and associated warm front moving across IA. The airmass
will be very unstable, supported by temperatures in the upper
80s/low 90s and dewpoints in the mid 70s. Even so, there is some
question whether true warm sector storms will initiate, given the
potential for significant mixing and warm mid-level temperatures.
Storms north of the warm front could still pose a severe risk, with
large hail and damaging gusts as the primary threats. A
surface-based, warm sector storm would have these threat as well,
but with an added potential for very large hail and potentially even
a tornado or two, given the potential for a supercellular mode.
After the initial cellular mode, a quick transition to a more linear/forward-propagating mode is expected.
...Northern Rockies...
A low-amplitude shortwave trough is forecast to move through the
northern periphery of the ridge across the northern Rockies Monday
afternoon. Ascent and increased mid-level moisture attendant to this
wave combined with orographic ascent and deep boundary-layer mixing
will help support afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Deep-layer
vertical shear is strong enough to some organized, more persistent
updrafts. High storm bases and steep low-level lapse rates will help
support damaging gusts with the strongest storms.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL INTO SOUTHEAST
MONTANA...
...SUMMARY...
Strong storms posing at least some risk for severe weather may
impact coastal Georgia and South Carolina, a corridor across the
Ohio Valley into northern Mid Atlantic, parts of the northern
Rockies into adjacent Great Plains, and southern Arizona Tuesday
into Tuesday evening.
...Synopsis...
As northwestern Canadian mid-level ridging elongates eastward,
evolving positively tilted troughing to its south is forecast to dig
toward the western and central Canadian/U.S. border through this
period. This may begin to suppress an initially expansive ridge in
the lower latitudes of the western and central U.S., including a
gradual transition of flow from broadly anticyclonic to cyclonic
across the northern Rockies into northern Great Plains late Tuesday
through Tuesday night.
Downstream, a persistent slow moving mid-level low, initially over
northern Quebec, is forecast to redevelop eastward offshore, to the
south of Greenland, where significant surface cyclogenesis may take
place in response to forcing associated with a vigorous short wave
impulse accelerating east of the Canadian Maritimes. However, models
indicate that large-scale mid-level troughing will linger across the
eastern Canadian provinces and much of the Northeast, reinforced by
another perturbation digging southeast of Hudson/James Bays.
In response to these developments, an initial surface cold front is
forecast to slowly advance southward through the northern Mid
Atlantic, south of the southern Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley,
and perhaps more rapidly through the lower Missouri Valley and Great
Plains.
Farther south, between the Southwestern mid-level high and another
high over the subtropical western Atlantic, the remnant circulation
of what is now Hurricane Debby may only very slowly migrate eastward
across southeastern Georgia coastal areas.
...Coastal Georgia/South Carolina...
Forcing for ascent, boundary-layer buoyancy and low-level shear may
remain conducive to convective development with potential to produce
tornadoes into at least early Tuesday. However, this potential will
be limited by the slow motion of the lingering tropical cyclone, and
may largely become confined offshore of coastal areas later
Tuesday/Tuesday night.
...Ohio Valley into Mid Atlantic...
Westerly mid-level flow is still generally forecast to begin to
weaken Tuesday, and there may be a tendency for the front and/or
preceding outflow to advance south of the stronger lingering flow.
Peak afternoon boundary-layer instability in a narrow corridor
along/ahead of the front may also not be as large as preceding days.
However, it might still become sufficient to support scattered
organizing thunderstorm activity with potential to produce locally
damaging wind gusts Tuesday afternoon and evening.
...Northern Rockies and adjacent Great Plains...
Downstream of the approaching mid-level trough, it appears that
destabilization across the higher terrain of west central and
southern Montana will become supportive of scattered strong
thunderstorm development. Low-level moisture may become sufficient
to support CAPE on the order of 1000+ J/kg, in the presence of
strengthening westerly mid/upper flow (around 40-70+ kt in the
500-300 mb layer). This environment may become conducive to widely
scattered supercells with potential to produce severe hail and
locally strong wind gusts. It also still appears possible that
forcing for ascent, associated with low-level warm advection, could
eventually contribute to an upscale growing cluster accompanied by
increasing potential for severe surface gusts while spreading into
the more strongly heated and deeply mixed lower elevations through
Tuesday evening.
...Southern Arizona...
Models indicate that a strengthening easterly flow (to 20-30 kts) at
mid/upper levels by Tuesday afternoon may aid propagation of
developing thunderstorm activity off the higher terrain of
southeastern Arizona and adjacent portions of Sonora. A very warm
and deeply mixed boundary layer across the lower deserts is forecast
to become moderately unstable with CAPE up to around 2000+ J/kg.
This will support potential for upscale growth along strengthening
convective outflow, accompanied by continuing potential for strong
to severe surface gusts into Tuesday evening.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF COASTAL NORTH AND
SOUTH CAROLINA...AND PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN COLORADO AND SOUTHEASTERN
WYOMING INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHWESTERN KANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the coastal
Carolinas, and parts of the Front Range into adjacent Great Plains,
Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night, accompanied by at least
some risk for severe weather.
...Synopsis...
Mid-level troughing across the Canadian Prairies through adjacent
international border area may make some progress into the northern
U.S. Great Plains during this period, while also elongating westward
across British Columbia, between one prominent ridge centered across
the Canadian Northwest Territories and another across the southern
U.S. Great Basin into the southern Great Plains. Downstream,
mid-level heights are generally forecast to rise across much of
Quebec, the Canadian Maritimes and northern New England, as
significant troughing finally begins to shift east of the region.
However, one more significant impulse is forecast to dig
south-southwestward across southern Hudson Bay by late Wednesday
night. Across the Southeast and southern mid- to subtropical
Atlantic, developments remain a bit more unclear. Considerable
spread remains evident concerning west-northwestward development of
the western Atlantic ridge, and its potential influence on what is
currently still forecast to be a tropical storm offshore of the
South Carolina coast at 12Z Wednesday.
...Carolinas/Southeastern Georgia...
Due to the slow moving nature of the remnant tropical cyclone and
the uncertainty concerning its track, tornado potential for
Wednesday through Wednesday night remains unclear. However, based
on the current official forecast intensity and track of Debby, low
tornado probabilities may mostly focus near and perhaps just inland
of southern North Carolina coastal areas, as the low-level
circulation center begins to slowly accelerate northeastward and
northward late Wednesday through Wednesday night.
...Front Range into adjacent Great Plains...
It now appears that stronger boundary-layer destabilization
(including CAPE on the order of 1500-2000 J/kg by late afternoon)
will mostly focus within lee surface troughing across parts of
northwestern Kansas and western Nebraska into the Cheyenne Ridge
vicinity. And models seem increasingly suggestive that large-scale
forcing for ascent may support the initiation of storms off the
higher terrain to the west and southwest, into an initially more
strongly heated and deeply mixed boundary layer.
Aided by strong shear associated with strengthening westerly
mid/upper flow (including 35 to 40+ kt around 500 mb), convection
may tend to grow upscale and organize as surface cold pools
strengthen and consolidate, with potential for further
intensification into Wednesday evening as it progress into the
better instability. Damaging winds and large hail may accompany
this convection, and it is possible that severe probabilities could
be increased in later outlooks for this period.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA THROUGH
SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA COASTAL PLAIN...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms developing Thursday across the coastal plain of
eastern North Carolina through southeastern Virginia may be
accompanied by potential for a few tornadoes, as Debby moves inland
across the south Atlantic coast.
...Synopsis...
Within mid-level troughing, initially southeast through south of a
prominent high centered over the Canadian Northwest Territories, it
appears that a couple of notable smaller-scale perturbations will
consolidate into an evolving mid-level low near the Upper
Midwest/Great Lakes vicinity by late Thursday night. At the same
time, in lower latitudes, another prominent ridge likely will be
maintained across much of the southern Great Basin into southern
Great Plains. However, there may be some suppression of this
ridging across the middle through lower Missouri Valley, and there
appears a greater consensus among the model output that the remnants
of Debby will begin a northward acceleration, inland of the South
Carolina coast toward the southern Virginia Piedmont through 12Z
Friday.
In response to these developments, further low-level cooling and/or
drying is likely across much of the interior U.S. during this
period, as surface ridging builds southward to the lee of the
Rockies, through much of the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys.
...Southern Mid Atlantic...
Debby is still forecast to be at tropical storm strength as the
low-level circulation center slowly migrates inland across eastern
South Carolina Thursday morning. And it appears that low-level wind
fields will remain potentially conducive to large clockwise-curved
low-level hodographs conditionally supportive of convection capable
of producing tornadoes, to the north through east of the center as
it slowly accelerates north-northwestward to northward though
Thursday night.
Although the degree of boundary-layer destabilization inland of
coastal areas remains uncertain, the most appreciable surface-based
buoyancy probably will remain focused where surface dew points
increase into the mid 70s+ F, to the east of the mid-level warm core
(roughly near -4 C around 500 mb). It appears that this will
overspread the eastern North Carolina through southeastern Virginia
coastal plain during the day, when daytime heating will maximize
potential instability and the risk for tornadoes in the most
vigorous convective development, within/ahead of Debby's spiraling
eastern outer bands.

SOUTHERN VERMONT AND NEW HAMPSHIRE...WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS...CONNECTICUT AND LONG ISLAND...NEW JERSEY...EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...CENTRAL MARYLAND AND THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND...DELAWARE...PARTS OF EASTERN VIRGINIA AND THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA...
...SUMMARY...
There may be at least some continuing risk for tornadoes in advance
of the remnant low of Debby, spreading across parts of the northern
Mid Atlantic and adjacent portions of New England.
...Synopsis...
It still appears that an initially prominent ridge will generally be
maintained over the higher latitudes of North America through this
period, though its mid-level height center may begin to become
suppressed to the east-southeast of the Canadian Northwest
Territories. Some eastward redevelopment of a significant mid-level
low evolving to its southeast may also commence, as a couple of
embedded perturbations pivot around its circulation center near the
upper Great Lakes region.
In lower-levels, pattern developments to the northeast and east of
the Great Lakes region remain a bit more unclear. A modest initial
cyclone, to the north/northeast of Lake Superior at 12Z Friday, may
gradually occlude, with varied model output then suggesting that
modest secondary cyclogenesis may ensue somewhere across southern
Ontario and the lower Great Lakes region into the upper St. Lawrence
Valley by 12Z Saturday. At the same time, Debby's remnant low is
forecast to accelerate north of the Virginia Piedmont by early
Friday, before accelerating north-northeastward and passing
near/just west of the Poconos and Catskills vicinity by Friday
evening. Eventually, it may interact with a frontal zone trailing
the evolving cyclone to the north, and perhaps merge into the
cyclone, but these details remain uncertain.
...Northern Mid Atlantic/New England...
Severe probabilities have been adjusted north-northeastward, based
on westward and accelerated adjustments to the official forecast
track. Despite the weakening trends to Debby, models suggest that
the evolution of sizable clockwise-curved low-level hodographs and
appreciable boundary-layer buoyancy may be maintained at least
through the daytime hours Friday.
It appears that the most favorable environment for convection which
could become capable of producing tornadoes will be focused near the
stronger surface pressure falls, north through east of the
accelerating low-level circulation, and just ahead of the mid-level
warm core. This may be in the process of overspreading the
Chesapeake/Delmarva vicinity as daytime heating contributes to
boundary-layer destabilization, before spreading northward across
eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, much of southeastern New York
and adjacent portions of western New England by early Friday
evening.
Even if the clockwise curvature to the low-level hodographs does not
remain as large as some forecast soundings indicate, downward mixing
of strong southerly ambient wind fields (including 40-50+ kt in the
850-700 mb layer) may still contribute to potentially damaging
surface gusts in the stronger convection. While it seems that this
risk may wane overnight Friday, it is possible that low severe
probabilities may need to be extended northeastward in later
outlooks for this period. Severe probabilities might also still
need to be increased across parts of the current marginal risk area,
if/when lingering uncertainties become better resolved.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE SOUTH-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms (gusts, perhaps hail) are possible
during the afternoon into early evening over parts of the south-
central High Plains.
...Synopsis...
In mid/upper levels, the persistent Southwestern ridging that is
being weakened by a monsoonal trough will redevelop a closed high
over central/west TX through day 2. A height weakness will remain
from parts of AZ across the Four Corners to southern CO, through
which small, collectively generated/enhanced vorticity lobes should
move slowly. Farther north, a somewhat blocky, slow-moving pattern
will be characterized by gradual breakdown of a Rex configuration
now over western Canada, with an undercutting stream of nearly zonal
flow across the Northwest and north-central Plains. This will
converge into a belt of cyclonic flow around a substantial mid/upper
cyclone -- now centered over the northern Lake Superior/Lakehead
region of northern ON. Through the day-2 period, the low should
pivot across northeastern ON to western QC south and southeast of
James Bay, as a series of small shortwaves rotate through the
cyclone's western/southern sectors.
In response to these developments, the rapidly decaying, open-wave
remnants of Debby should be absorbed into a baroclinic zone and
ejecting away from the Northeast by the start of this period,
leaving behind a cold front from central New England southwestward
down the Piedmont in NC/SC to central GA and coastal LA. This
boundary should become a diffuse warm front from LA northwestward
across southeast/west-central TX to east-central NM. By 00Z, the
front should extend from the near the Hampton Roads area
southwestward over southern GA and the western FL Panhandle, arching northwestward from southern LA across the TX Panhandle and into a
low over southeastern CO/western OK Panhandle region.
...Central to south-central High Plains...
Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are possible in a
corridor extending southeastward from near the low, along the front,
and off the nearby Raton Mesa and Palmer Divide. Mid/upper support
may be present in the form of a small perturbation or two migrating
from the Four Corners region. Activity should develop during
mid/late afternoon as boundary-layer convergence near the low and
heating of elevated terrain combine to remove MLCINH, along the
northwestern fringe of a plume of returning low-level moisture along
and south of the warm front. Forecast soundings indicate surface
dewpoints in the mid 50s to low 60s and a deep troposphere will
support MLCAPE in the 1500-2500 J/kg range, atop a well-mixed
subcloud layer. This area will have generally weak low-level
speeds, but strong veering of winds with height under the southern
fringe of favorable mid/upper winds, with 25-40-kt effective-shear
magnitudes. As such, organized multicells and perhaps brief
supercells are possible, with isolated severe gusts and hail.
Farther north/northwest across northeastern CO and central/eastern
WY, an isolated, high-based, strong-severe thunderstorm cannot be
ruled out -- moving out of higher terrain of the Bighorns, Laramie
Range or northern Front Range/Cheyenne Ridge region -- beneath
stronger mid/upper flow and greater deep shear. However, lack of
more-robust moisture, and convective-coverage uncertainty, preclude
an unconditional outlook at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms, capable of damaging gusts and perhaps
hail, are possible during the afternoon into early evening over
parts of the central and southern High Plains.
...Synopsis...
Upper cyclone centered over northeast Ontario Saturday morning is
forecast to progress gradually eastward/east-northeastward
throughout the day, ending the period centered over the central
Ontario/Quebec border vicinity. Several shortwave troughs will
rotate through the enhanced mid-level flow within the base of this
cyclone, which stretches cyclonically from the Upper Midwest across
the Upper Great Lakes/OH Valley and into the Northeast/St. Lawrence
Valley.
A cold front is expected to extend from ME southward off the coast
of southern New England before then arcing back more southwestward
through the Carolinas and GA into the central Gulf of Mexico. The
series of shortwave troughs rotating around the cyclone will help
reinforce the continental airmass cover much of the eastern CONUS,
with little change in the location of the cold front from the
Carolinas into the central Gulf. Isolated thunderstorms are
anticipated east/southeast of this front, but weak shear should keep
the severe potential low.
Farther west, low-amplitude ridging will remain centered over the
Far West TX/southeast NM vicinity, with westerly flow aloft
extending throughout the northern periphery of this ridging from
OR/northern CA through the central Plains. This westerly flow aloft
will help support a sharpening lee surface trough and resulting
low-level moisture advection across the High Plains.
...Central/Southern High Plains.
Tightening surface pressure gradient between this troughing and high
pressure over the central/southern MO Valley will support low-level
southerly flow and associated moisture return across the
southern/central High Plains. Afternoon thunderstorm development is
anticipated across the Rockies, with the westerly flow aloft then
taking these storms away from the higher terrain into the High
Plains. Deep boundary-layer mixing is anticipated, but the
anticipated low-level moisture advection should still keep at least
modest moisture in place. Current expectation is for afternoon
dewpoints to range from the low 50s across eastern WY to the low 60s
in the northeast NM/southeast CO/southwest KS/western OK Panhandle
vicinity.
This low-level moisture will help support moderate buoyancy, with
MLCAPE from 500 J/kg over eastern WY to 1500 J/kg in southeast CO.
Low-level southeasterlies veering to westerly aloft will also
support moderate vertical shear, even though overall magnitude of
both the surface winds and the westerly flow aloft is modest. These environmental conditions could support persistent multicells and
perhaps brief supercells, with isolated severe gusts and hail.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE BLACK HILLS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur Sunday into Sunday night
across parts of the central Plains into the Black Hills of South
Dakota.
...Southern/Central Plains into the Black Hills...
Thunderstorms will probably be ongoing across parts of OK and
southern KS at the start of the period Sunday morning, generally
along and north of a surface front. This activity will likely be
elevated and tied to warm/moist advection associated with a
southerly low-level jet. Current expectations are for these
thunderstorms to diminish in coverage through the day as the
low-level jet weakens. The potential for additional robust
thunderstorm development across this region in the vicinity of the
front Sunday afternoon/evening remains unclear, as large-scale
ascent will be nebulous/weak. While a conditional severe threat
remains apparent, the lack of a convective signal in most guidance
precludes introducing low severe probabilities across the southern
Plains at this time.
Farther north across the central High Plains, isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop along and east of a weak surface lee
trough/front. This convection should also be aided by a modestly
enhanced westerly mid-level jet moving eastward from the
northern/central Rockies across the adjacent High Plains through
Sunday evening. While low-level moisture should remain a bit more
limited with northward extent across the central Plains, sufficient
instability should be present as diurnal heating occurs and somewhat
steepened mid-level lapse rates overspread the warm sector.
Deep-layer shear appears strong enough to support supercells with
attendant threat for isolated large hail. But, there is still a fair
amount of uncertainty with how many intense thunderstorms could
develop. Some chance for upscale growth into a bowing cluster
appears possible Sunday evening/night across parts of the central
Plains, mainly focused over southern SD into central NE. If this
occurs, then severe wind gusts would become the primary severe
threat. Given the potential severe hail/wind threat, a fairly broad
Marginal Risk has been introduced across parts of the central
Plains.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The potential for organized severe thunderstorms on Monday appears
generally low across the contiguous United States.
...Eastern Great Basin into the Southern/Central High Plains...
Upper ridging should persist over much of the Great Basin into the
Rockies and adjacent High Plains on Monday. A mid-level shortwave
trough is forecast to move across northern CA and the northern Great
Basin through the period. But, due to its late timing, this feature
will provide only glancing ascent farther east. Regardless,
scattered to numerous thunderstorms are once again expected to
develop by Monday afternoon over the higher terrain of the
southern/central Rockies, and along a weak surface lee trough. This
activity should eventually spread eastward into the southern/central
High Plains late Monday afternoon through early evening. Low-level
moisture and mid-level flow are both expected to remain rather
modest/limited across these areas, which should generally inhibit
thunderstorm organization. Still, some chance for isolated strong to
severe wind gusts may exist with any high-based convection that can
develop. But, this threat appears too isolated/unfocused for low
severe wind probabilities.
...Southern/Central Plains into the Ozarks...
Convection will likely be ongoing at the start of the period Monday
morning across parts of OK into the Ozarks vicinity. This activity
is forecast to diminish in coverage through the day as warm
advection attendant to a southwesterly low-level jet weakens. In the
wake of this early day convection, moderate to locally strong
instability should develop along/near a front across parts of
northern OK/southern KS. Large-scale ascent will remain minimal
across this area, but a conditional threat for strong to severe
thunderstorms remains apparent. Regardless, not enough confidence
exists in robust thunderstorms developing to introduce severe
probabilities at this time.
...Coastal Carolinas...
A notable upper trough will move eastward over the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic on Monday. The southern fringe of this feature should
have a glancing influence on convective potential across parts of
the coastal Carolinas Monday afternoon. Although large-scale ascent
will remain weak with southward extent, isolated to scattered
thunderstorms may still develop along/south of a front in a
moderately unstable environment. But, deep-layer shear appears too
weak to support more than transient updraft organization. While
sporadic strong wind gusts may occur, the overall severe threat
appears too isolated/marginal to include low severe probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN INTO THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL ROCKIES AND
ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS...AND ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms appear possible Tuesday across parts
of the eastern Great Basin into the northern/central High Plains, as
well as portions of South Carolina and vicinity.
...Eastern Great Basin to the Northern/Central High Plains...
Upper ridging will remain over much of the Plains on Tuesday, while
a mid-level shortwave trough develops northeastward from the
interior Pacific Northwest across the northern Rockies and adjacent
High Plains. Modest low-level mass response ahead of this shortwave
trough should encourage the development/sharpening of a weak surface
low and associated lee trough extending southward along much of the
length of the northern/central High Plains. Northward advance of
low-level moisture is expected across these areas, along and east of
the lee trough. Steepened mid-level lapse rates and daytime heating
of this moistening airmass should support moderate instability
developing by late Tuesday afternoon.
Although mid-level flow is not forecast to be overly strong in
association with the mid-level shortwave trough, gradual veering and
modest strengthening of the wind field with height through mid/upper
levels should foster sufficient deep-layer shear for some
thunderstorm organization. An isolated threat for hail and severe
winds should exist with any robust cores that can develop along the
length of the lee trough and subsequently spread eastward Tuesday
afternoon through evening. Confidence in a more focused area of
severe potential remains too low to include greater severe
probabilities at this time.
There also appears to be some chance for stronger thunderstorms to
occur across the eastern Great Basin into parts of the
northern/central Rockies. While low-level moisture will generally be
more limited compared to the High Plains, sufficient instability and
deep-layer shear to support modestly organized convection are
forecast. Isolated hail and strong to severe wind gusts may occur
with this high-based activity as it spreads east-northeastward
through Tuesday afternoon and early evening. Therefore, the Marginal
Risk has been expanded westward to include more of WY, southern MT,
eastern ID, and northern/eastern UT based on latest guidance trends.
...South Carolina and Vicinity...
As a mid/upper-level trough persists over the eastern states, some
enhancement to west-northwesterly winds will occur across parts of
the OH/TN Valleys into the Carolinas and Southeast on Tuesday.
Deep-layer shear should be strong enough for modestly organized
convection. But, poor lapse rates aloft may tend to limit
instability to some extent across SC and vicinity Tuesday afternoon. Regardless, confidence has increased that isolated to scattered
thunderstorms capable of producing occasionally strong to damaging
winds should occur, and a Marginal Risk has been introduced to
account for this potential.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHEAST KANSAS...EASTERN NEBRASKA...SOUTHWEST IOWA...AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms should occur Wednesday
across parts of the northern/central Plains into the mid Missouri
Valley, with greater potential for large hail and damaging winds
across parts of northeast Kansas, eastern Nebraska, southwest Iowa,
and northwest Missouri.
...Northern/Central Plains into the Mid Missouri Valley...
Thunderstorms that should be ongoing at the start of the period
Wednesday morning across parts of the mid MO Valley should gradually
decrease in coverage and intensity through the early afternoon as a southwesterly low-level jet and related warm advection slowly
weakens. Upper ridging is forecast to remain prominent through the
period across the lower MS Valley/Southeast into the Midwest and
Great Lakes. Upstream, weak upper troughing is expected to become
established over the northern/central Plains, with multiple
low-amplitude mid-level perturbations forecast to move eastward
across these regions. At the surface, a broad warm sector should be
in place along/ahead of a weak front/lee trough. Most guidance
suggests that multiple weak surface lows should generally
consolidate over parts of central/eastern NE/KS by early Wednesday
evening.
Greater low-level moisture, characterized by upper 60s to low 70s
surface dewpoints, should be in place across parts of the central
Plains into the mid MO Valley. This moisture is forecast to advect
northward in tandem with a sharpening warm front through the day,
although considerable uncertainty still exists with how far north
into IA the warm sector will be able to develop. Robust
thunderstorms should develop by late Wednesday afternoon across
parts of eastern NE and northeast KS in the vicinity of a weak
surface low and triple point. Moderate to strong instability will
likely be in place due to ample daytime heating of the rather moist
airmass, along with somewhat steepened mid-level lapse rates.
Even though mid/upper-level flow is forecast to be only modestly
enhanced, veering and gradual strengthening of the wind field with
height should support enough deep-layer shear for a mix of
multicells and supercells initially. Both large hail and
severe/damaging winds appear possible. A low-level jet is also
forecast to strengthen Wednesday evening across eastern NE/KS into
IA. Any supercell that can remain at surface based could also pose
some threat for a tornado across this area given strengthening
low-level shear Wednesday evening. Otherwise, a bowing cluster may
eventually develop and pose more of a damaging wind threat as it
spreads east-northeastward across the mid MO Valley Wednesday
evening and overnight.
Other strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible across a
broader portion of the northern/central Plains, although instability
is forecast to generally become weaker with northward and westward
extent. Still, weak to locally moderate instability and sufficient
deep-layer shear for modestly organized updrafts should exist across
much of the warm sector Wednesday afternoon and evening. An isolated
threat for both hail and strong to severe wind gusts remains
apparent, and the Marginal Risk has been expanded in multiple areas
to account for latest guidance trends in where strong to severe
convection may develop.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
EASTERN KANSAS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms appear possible across parts of the
Midwest and mid Mississippi Valley on Thursday. Damaging winds and
large hail should be the main threats, but a couple tornadoes may
also occur.
...Midwest/Mid Mississippi Valley...
A mid/upper-level trough should gradually amplify and deepen over
the Upper Midwest on Thursday, eventually transitioning to a closed
upper low. A gradual intensification of mid-level westerly flow is
forecast across parts of the east-central Plains into the mid MS
Valley vicinity through the day. At the surface, a weak low may
gradually occlude beneath the upper cyclone through the period, with
a trailing front extending southwestward from this low across parts
of the Midwest into the central and southern Plains.
In the wake of mainly elevated thunderstorms that should be ongoing
Thursday morning, low-level southwesterly flow should support
airmass recovery and robust destabilization Thursday afternoon from
parts of the east-central Plains into the mid MS Valley and Midwest.
Relatively steep mid-level lapse rates overlying rich low-level
moisture (upper 60s to mid 70s surface dewpoints) will likely foster
strong to locally extreme instability, with MLCAPE potentially in
the 2500-4000+ J/kg range across the warm sector by late Thursday
afternoon. Meanwhile, gradually strengthening mid-level flow will
support effective bulk shear values around 30-45 kt, resulting in a conditionally rather favorable environment for severe thunderstorms.
The details of convective initiation and evolution still remain
rather uncertain due to weak low-level convergence along the
synoptic front. Regardless, isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms should develop by late Thursday afternoon along this
boundary, and potentially near any remnant outflow boundaries from
earlier convection. Supercells with a threat of large hail,
localized damaging gusts, and a couple tornadoes will be possible
initially, with some upscale growth potentially leading to an
increase in severe/damaging wind potential by Thursday evening, as thunderstorms move into parts of southern MO/IL and vicinity.
...Southern/Central Plains...
With robust daytime heating, a deeply mixed boundary layer is
expected to occur along/south of the front across parts of southern
KS into OK. While deep-layer shear should remain weak across most of
this region, moderate to strong instability and steepened low to
mid-level lapse rates should support mainly an isolated severe wind
threat with high-based thunderstorms that can develop. Occasional
hail may also occur with the strongest cores.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS AND THE OZARKS INTO
THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
At least isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may develop Friday
over portions of the Great Lakes into the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys,
and potentially across parts of the Ozarks into the central/southern
Plains. Damaging winds and occasional large hail should be the main
threats.
...Great Lakes into the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys and Mid-South...
A mid/upper-level trough will move slowly eastward across parts of
the Great Lakes, Midwest, and OH Valley on Friday. A belt of
enhanced mid-level flow should be present from the east-central
Plains to parts of the mid MS Valley into the OH Valley. Related
deep-layer shear should be sufficient for some updraft organization
with thunderstorms that can develop through the period. A weak
surface low should likewise move slowly eastward over the Upper
Great Lakes vicinity. A weak front/wind shift is forecast to extend south-southwestward from this surface low.
Extensive convection will probably be ongoing Friday morning across
the OH Valley vicinity. Some intensification of morning storms may
occur through the day, though the primary severe threat is expected
with separate thunderstorms that will develop in the wake of
early-day convection during the afternoon and evening. Diurnal
heating of a rather moist low-level airmass across a broad area will
support pockets of moderate to locally strong instability by late
afternoon across parts of the Midwest and OH/TN Valleys. Moderate
mid-level flow will support sufficient deep-layer shear for updraft organization, and a conditionally favorable severe environment
should eventually develop over a broad region near/ahead of the
front.
However, details of thunderstorm initiation and evolution remain
rather unclear, due to the influence of morning convection and
generally weak low-level convergence near the surface front.
However, a few stronger cells/clusters may evolve during the
afternoon and evening, posing a threat of damaging winds and severe
hail. Greater severe probabilities may eventually be needed, if
confidence increases in the location of one or more favored
corridors of severe potential within the broader Marginal Risk area.
...Ozarks into the Central/Southern Plains...
The trailing portion of the cold front should extend from southern
MO into southern KS/northern OK by late Friday afternoon. Isolated
to widely scattered thunderstorm development may occur in the
vicinity of the front, with some signal for convection to persist
into Friday night as it moves east-southeastward. Other isolated
activity may develop across the central High Plains in eastern CO
into western KS. Moderate to strong buoyancy and supportive
deep-layer shear across these areas should foster a threat of
isolated strong/damaging gusts and large hail with the more robust
storms from late Friday afternoon through the evening.
...Northern High Plains...
High-based convection may develop over the northern Rockies in
advance of a mid-level shortwave trough, and subsequently move
across the northern High Plains. Low-level moisture and instability
are forecast to remain limited, but steepened low-level lapse rates
could allow for isolated strong/gusty winds as this activity moves east-northeastward through the early evening. At this point, the
overall severe threat appears too isolated/marginal to include low
severe wind probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE OZARKS NORTHEASTWARD TO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY...AND IN PARTS OF
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday
afternoon and evening from the Ozarks and lower Mississippi
northeastward into the upper Ohio Valley. Isolated severe storms may
also occur across parts of the Pacific Northwest.
...Ozarks/Lower Mississippi Valley...
Northwest mid-level flow will remain today from the mid Missouri
Valley into the mid Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a moist
airmass will be located from the Ozarks into the mid Mississippi
Valley. Moderate instability is expected to develop throughout this
moist airass by afternoon. As temperatures warm during the day,
scattered thunderstorms will be possible across a broad area from
the Ohio and Tennessee Valley eastward into the Appalachians. Model
forecasts in the Ozarks by afternoon increase MLCAPE into the 1000
to 2000 J/kg range, and show moderate deep-layer shear in most
areas. This should be enough for a marginal severe threat during the
late afternoon and early evening. Although supercells will be
possible, line segments may also develop. Hail and strong gusty
winds will be possible with supercells. Severe wind gusts will be
the primary threat with line segments.
...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys/Southern and Central Appalachians...
An upper-level low will move across the Great Lakes on Saturday, as
southwest mid-level flow remains in place from the Ohio and
Tennessee Valleys into the Appalachians. Moderate instability is
expected to develop by early this afternoon along an axis of
maximized low-level moisture from middle Tennessee northeastward
into southern and eastern Ohio. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms
will likely develop during the afternoon throughout this moist
airmass. RAP forecast soundings in the early afternoon from middle
Tennessee to southern Ohio show moderate deep-layer shear across
much of the region. This could support an isolated severe threat
with cells that develop in areas with the strongest instability.
However, low to mid-level lapse rates and large-scale ascent are
forecast to be relatively weak suggesting that any severe threat
will remain marginal.
...Pacific Northwest...
An upper-level low will remain in the far eastern Pacific. Ahead of
this feature, mid-level flow will be southwesterly across much of
the northwestern U.S. At the surface, a moist airmass is forecast to
be in place across western Oregon and western Washington. As surface temperatures warm, a narrow corridor of moderate instability is
expected to develop near the moist axis, with storms forming during
the afternoon. In addition to the instability, model forecasts
suggest that 0-6 km shear will be in the 45 to 55 knot range. This,
combined with steep mid-level lapse rates may support an isolated
severe threat. Cells that form within this area of moderate
instability, could obtain a marginal severe threat with hail and
severe gusts possible.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CAROLINAS AND SOUTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong thunderstorms, associated with a severe threat,
will be possible on Sunday from the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas
westward into the Southeast, and in parts of the central and
northern Plains.
...Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas/Southeast
An upper-level trough will move across the Ohio Valley and southern Appalachians on Sunday. At the surface, an associated cold front
will approach the Mid Atlantic Seaboard, and move into the
Southeast. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints in the lower to mid
70s F, will contribute to the development of moderate instability by
midday. As surface temperatures warm, thunderstorms are expected to
form in the higher terrain of the southern and central Appalachians.
Additional storms appear likely to develop further to the east near
the front and across the moist sector ahead of the front. Current
model forecasts suggest that a pocket of moderate instability, with
MLCAPE potentially above 2000 J/kg, may develop in parts of the
Carolinas. Forecast soundings across eastern North Carolina around
21Z show some directional shear below 850 mb, with speed shear in
the mid-levels, resulting in 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35 knot
range. In addition, lapse rates are forecast to become steep, with
0-3 km lapse rates peaking near 8 C/km in the mid afternoon. This
should be favorable for an isolated severe threat. The wind profile
will favor multicells with isolated wind-damage potential.
...Ozarks/Lower Mississippi Valley...
Northwest mid-level flow will be in place on Sunday across the lower
to mid Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. A front is forecast to
move southward across the Lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf
Coast States. To the south of the front, surface dewpoints in the
lower to mid 70s F will contribute to the development of moderate to
strong instability. As low-level convergence increases along and
ahead of the front, thunderstorms are expected to form in the early
to mid afternoon. Storms will likely expand in coverage, moving
southeastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley during the late
afternoon. Forecast soundings at 21Z from southern Arkansas
southeastward into central Mississippi have MLCAPE reaching the 2500
to 3500 J/kg range, and show 0-6 km shear in the 30 to 35 knot
range. 0-3 km lapse-rates are forecast to peak near 8 C/km during
the afternoon. This will be favorable for an isolated severe threat,
with isolated supercells possible. However, multicell may be the
prevalent storm mode. Rotating storms will have potential for
isolated large hail. Severe wind gusts will be possible with any
cell that can become organized.
...Central and Northern High Plains...
An upper-level ridge will be in place on Sunday from the central
Rockies into the northern High Plains. An axis of instability is
forecast to develop to the east of the ridge from western Kansas north-northwestward into eastern Montana. Although large-scale
ascent will be weak, isolated thunderstorms may form as temperatures
warm during the day. Model forecasts Sunday afternoon along and near
the instability axis have surface dewpoints around 60 F, steep low
to mid-level lapse rates, and relatively large surface-dewpoint
temperature spreads. This would be favorable for strong outflow
gusts with isolated high-based storms in areas with sufficient
instability. Hail will also be possible, mainly within rotating
cells that come out of higher terrain, where the steepest mid-level
lapse rates are forecast.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTH CAROLINA...THE MID-ATLANTIC...SABINE RIVER VALLEY...AND FROM
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with marginally severe wind gusts will be
possible on Monday over the eastern half of North Carolina into the Mid-Atlantic, and from far east Texas into Louisiana. Isolated
severe wind gusts and hail may occur from parts of the central and
northern High Plains into the northern Rockies.
...North Carolina/Mid-Atlantic...
An upper-level trough will move across the eastern U.S. on Monday,
as an associated cold front advances eastward into the coastal areas
of the middle Atlantic Seaboard. Along and ahead of the front,
surface dewpoints are forecast to be in the lower 70s F. This will
result in weak instability by early afternoon near the coast from
North Carolina into the Mid-Atlantic. Surface heating and increasing
low-level convergence along the front will enable thunderstorms to
form during the afternoon. Additional storms are forecast to develop
in the post-frontal airmass. In most areas, forecast soundings
suggest that 0-6 km shear will be around 30 knots with 0-3 km lapse
rates peaking in the 7 to 7.5 C/km range. This could be enough for
isolated severe wind gusts associated with the stronger multicells
during the mid to late aftennnoon.
...Far East Texas/Louisiana...
North-northwesterly mid-level flow will be in place on Monday over
much of the central U.S. At the surface, a cold front will be
located across the Red River and Sabine River Valleys. Surface
dewpoints are forecast to be in the lower 70s F from east Texas into
western and central Louisiana. This will contribute to a narrow
corridor of moderate instability by afternoon. Isolated
thunderstorms may form along and to the east of this axis of
instability with storms moving south-southeastward toward the Gulf
Coast during the mid to late afternoon. A consensus of model
forecasts at this time in the Sabine River Valley Monday currently
have MLCAPE peaking in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range, with 0-6 km
shear near 30 knots. This would support an isolated severe threat,
with a potential for marginally severe wind gusts.
...Central and Northern High Plains/Northern Rockies...
An upper-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the central
and northern High Plains on Monday. To the west of the ridge, an
axis of moderate instability will be in place by afternoon from
eastern Colorado northward into the western Dakotas and eastern
Montana. As surface temperatures warm during the day, convection
will likely form in the higher terrain. Additional more isolated
storms may develop in the lower elevations. Forecast soundings along
and near the instability axis by mid to late afternoon have MLCAPE
peaking in the 1000 to 2000 J/kg range, with 0-3 km lapse rates
becoming very steep. This, combined with relatively large surface temperature-dewpoint spreads should be favorable for high-based
storms associated with isolated severe wind gusts. Hail will also be
possible with the stronger cores.

...Central and Northern High Plains/Northern Rockies...
A shortwave trough in the northern Plains is forecast to deamplify
on Tuesday. Elevated thunderstorms may be ongoing near the trough at
the start of the period in the central Dakotas. Further west, an
upper-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the central
and northern High Plains. Beneath the ridge, a north-to-south
corridor of maximized low-level moisture will destabilize during the
day, with pockets of moderate instability likely developing by
afternoon. Although large-scale ascent should be weak due to the
upper ridge, topographical forcing and low-level convergence is
expected to result in isolated convective initiation. A few storms
should develop in the afternoon, from central and eastern Montana
southward into western Nebraska and eastern Colorado. Forecast
soundings in the central and northern High Plains during the mid to
late afternoon have 0-6 km shear in the 30 to 40 knot range, mostly
owing to speed shear in the mid-levels. In addition, low-level lapse
rates are forecast to be steep, with relatively large surface temperature-dewpoint spreads. This environment will likely be
favorable for high-based storms capable of isolated severe wind
gusts and hail.

EASTERN MONTANA AND WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms, some with severe hail and damaging gusts
are expected to develop on Wednesday over parts of far eastern
Montana and western North Dakota.
...Central and Northern Plains...
An upper-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the
northern Plains on Wednesday, as a subtle shortwave trough moves
into the northern High Plains in southwesterly mid-level flow. At
the surface, a lee low in southeastern Montana is forecast to deepen
ahead of an approaching front. Warming surface temperatures ahead of
the front combined with surface dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s F,
will likely result in a southeast-to-northwest corridor of moderate
instability by afternoon. Thunderstorms appear likely to develop in
the mid to late afternoon near the front and in the higher terrain
of central and southern Montana. The models are now in better
agreement concerning the magnitude of instability, with MLCAPE
expected to reach the 3500 to 5000 J/kg range along the instability
axis. Thunderstorms that move toward the instability axis will have
a chance to be severe. Most NAM forecast soundings near the
instability axis by 00Z/Thursday have 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50
knot range with 700 to 500 mb lapse rates of 8 to 9 C/km. This would
be favorable for supercells with large hail. Storm bases should be
high due to large temperature-dewpoint spreads, which will
contribute to the wind-damage potential. Far eastern Montana and
western North Dakotas should be impacted during the evening, as
low-level flow gradually ramps up.
Further to the south into the central High Plains, an axis of
moderate instability is forecast to develop by afternoon from
west-central Nebraska south-southwestward into northeastern
Colorado. By mid afternoon, thunderstorms are expected to form in
the higher terrain of southern Wyoming and central Colorado, with
this convection moving eastward into the lower elevations.
Thunderstorms that move into the most and unstable airmass over the
central High Plains will have a chance to become severe. 0-6 km
shear around 30 knots combined with steep mid-level lapse rates will
support an isolated threat for large hail and severe gusts, with the
threat concentrated in the late afternoon and early evening.

Thunderstorms with hail and a few marginally severe gusts will be
possible on Thursday across parts of the central and northern

...Central and Northern Plains...
An upper-level ridge over the central Plains and upper Mississippi
Valley is forecast to move eastward on Thursday, as a shortwave
trough moves through the northern Plains. In association with the
trough, elevated morning thunderstorms appear likely in parts of
North Dakota. As the convective cluster moves eastward into
Minnesota, an axis of moderate instability is expected to develop in
its wake across central and eastern North Dakota. The instability
axis should be located from the Dakotas south-southwestward into
western Nebraska and far western Kansas. During the day, isolated
severe thunderstorm development will be possible along and near the
instability axis. Most locations near the instability axis have 0-6
km shear forecast in the 25 to 35 knot range. This combined with
steep low to mid-level lapse rates will support a marginal severe
threat during the late afternoon. Hail and a few severe gusts will
be possible.
During the evening, the focus is expected to shift southward into
far eastern Colorado and western Kansas, as the low-level jet ramps
up. A small cluster of thunderstorms with severe potential is
expected to develop and move across the central High Plains during
the early to mid evening. Model solutions differ on the exact
location of this cluster, and have widely varying instability
distributions suggesting uncertainty is substantial. For this
reason, Marginal seems to be appropriate category at this time.

Marginally severe storms with hail and isolated severe gusts will be
possible on Friday across parts of the central and northern High
Plains, and in parts of the Intermountain West and central Rockies.
...Central and Northern High Plains...
An upper-level ridge will remain over the Great Plains on Friday. At
the surface, a north-to-south corridor of maximized low-level
moisture will be located across the central and northern Plains,
where surface dewpoints will be mostly in the lower to mid 60s F. As temperatures warm during the day, moderate instability is expected
to develop throughout much of this moist airmass. Isolated
thunderstorms are expected to form during the afternoon over the
western edge of the stronger instability, with storm coverage
remaining relatively sparse due to subsidence associated with the
upper-level ridge. Forecast soundings have directional shear in the
low-levels and speed shear aloft over much of the moist airmass. The
moderate deep-layer shear combined with steep mid-level lapse rates
should support a threat for hail and severe wind gusts. However, the
threat should be marginal.
...Intermountain West/Central Rockies...
An upper-level low will move to near the coast of Oregon on Friday,
as southwest mid-level flow remains over much of the western U.S. A
subtle shortwave trough is forecast to move through the Four Corners
region, where an axis of moisture and instability will likely be in
place. As surface temperatures warm during the day, scattered
thunderstorms are expected to develop from parts of eastern Utah
into western and central Colorado, and northward into western
Wyoming. MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range,
with 0-6 km shear around 35 knots. Low-level lapse rates will also
be steep in the afternoon. This environment should support a
marginal potential for hail and severe wind gusts during the mid to
late afternoon.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION EASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Marginally severe storms will be possible on Saturday across the
Four Corners region eastward across the central High Plains.
...Synopsis...
Large-scale upper ridging is forecast to prevail over the Plains
Saturday, while a sharp trough advances slowly across the West.
Meanwhile, weak troughing will prevail over the Northeast.
At the surface, high pressure will prevail east of the Mississippi
Valley, while a remnant baroclinic zone extends from the northern
High Plains south-southeastward into the Kansas through most of the
period.
...Four Corners area east-northeastward across the central High
Plains...
As upper troughing moves slowly eastward across the Intermountain
West, modest destabilization across the Four Corners states will
support isolated to scattered thunderstorm development. Though
instability will remain weak, a belt of stronger mid-level flow on
the eastern periphery of the aforementioned trough will allow a few
stronger storms to evolve. This, combined with dry sub-cloud layer,
suggests that locally damaging winds will be possible.
By late afternoon and into the evening, storm development is
forecast to increase across eastern Colorado and into the Nebraska
Panhandle region -- in the vicinity of the surface boundary. While
flow aloft will be weaker across this area, the strongest storms may

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN
DAKOTAS INTO NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms may develop across the northern Plains area
on Sunday, with more isolated severe potential southwestward into
the southern Rockies on Sunday. A couple of strong/marginally
severe storms may also occur across the Lower Great Lakes/Upper Ohio
Valley vicinity.
...Synopsis...
A progressing western U.S. upper trough is forecast to gradually
weaken, as it impinges on a persistent central U.S. ridge. The
result will be that the trough gets shunted northeastward toward Montana/Wyoming with time. Meanwhile, weak upper troughing will
persist over the Northeast.
At the surface, a cold front will progress eastward across the
Canadian Prairie, and the north-central U.S. with time. By the end
of the period, the front should stretch from Minnesota southwestward
to northeastern Colorado.
...Northern Plains southwestward to the Four Corners region...
As the western U.S. trough advances eastward, large-scale ascent
will support scattered thunderstorm development across the
Intermountain Region, within a diurnally destabilizing airmass.
While CAPE will remain limited, moderate southwesterly flow aloft
ahead of the trough will allow some storm organization/longevity at
time. This, combined with a deep mixed layer providing support for
enhanced downdrafts with the stronger cells, will result in risk for
locally severe wind gusts.
More substantial severe risk could evolve across portions of the
north-central states, where much greater instability will evolve.
Though the airmass should remain capped in most areas, ascent may be
sufficient to support local cap breaches by late afternoon to allow
isolated storm development. If storms develop, upscale growth near
convective outflows would be expected, possibly resulting in
evening/overnight MCS development. Large hail would be possible
with the initial storms, though with locally damaging gusts likely
to be the dominant risk. Still, given the capping that is
anticipated, and questions whether ascent will be sufficient to
allow storm development, will maintain only conditional 15%/SLGT
risk at this time.
...Lower Great Lakes/Upper Ohio Valley area...
On the western fringe of the northeastern U.S. trough, moderate
northwesterly flow aloft may combine with modest afternoon
destabilization to support isolated storm development. Assuming
this occurs, a few strong gusts would be possible as storms would
move rather quickly southeastward. The main question remains the
degree of destabilization which may occur, and thus will introduce
only 5%/MRGL risk at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION...
...SUMMARY...
Some severe-weather potential is evident across the Great Lakes
region on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
An upper ridge centered over the Mid-MS/TN/OH Valleys will gradually
weaken with time, as a short-wave trough shifting east-northeastward
across the northern Plains gradually suppresses the ridging.
Meanwhile upstream, a strong upper low over southern British
Columbia early will advance eastward across southern portions of the
Canadian Rockies and adjacent northwestern U.S. through the period.
At the surface, an expansive cold front extending from Quebec
southwestward across the Upper Great Lakes to the central High
Plains will become increasingly west/east-oriented, as the
northeastern portion of the front shifts southeastward into New
England during the second half of the period, while the southwestern
segment remains more quasi-stationary -- or even retreats slightly
northward -- through the end of the period. Meanwhile, a strong
cold front will advance eastward/southeastward across the
northwestern U.S. ahead of the progressive upper low.
...Great Lakes region...
Thunderstorms -- and some severe risk -- should be ongoing across
portions of the Upper Great Lakes region at the start of the period.
Evolution of convection with time remains uncertain - in part due to
remnant influence of upper ridging across the region and associated
capping. Some models suggest that ongoing convection weakens
through the day, with little afternoon redevelopment. At this time,
the most likely scenario appears to be one or more clusters of
storms will continue moving eastward across the risk area through
the day, accompanied by at least some risk for damaging winds and
hail. By mid afternoon, redevelopment of storms may occur on
southern fringes of earlier convection, near remnant outflows.
Given likelihood for substantial destabilization, severe risk would
accompany any of these redeveloping storms.
Questions persist not only with degree of coverage of convection
through afternoon and evening, but both the southern, and eastern,
extent of severe potential. Several models suggest storms
developing south and southwest of the SLGT risk area, where
favorable instability but much weaker shear is expected. Meanwhile,
some models continue to depict overnight convection crossing the
Lower Great Lakes region, with ample instability/shear to support at
least low-end severe potential. Additional adjustments to the MRGL
risk area in later outlooks will likely be required, as the
evolution of this scenario becomes a bit less uncertain.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
OHIO VALLEY TO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...AND OVER PARTS OF THE
NORTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are expected across portions of the Midwest and Northeast/Mid-Atlantic area, and over portions of the northern
Plains.
...Synopsis...
Mid-level short-wave troughing will move across the Great Lakes
region Wednesday, gradually becoming absorbed within the southern
extent of larger-scale troughing moving across eastern Canada. As
such, gradual/steady height falls will occur across the Northeast
through the period. Upstream, a strong upper low will advance
across the Canadian Prairie and adjacent northern Intermountain
Region.
At the surface, a cold front should move off the New England coast
early, leaving a trailing, west-to-east boundary extending from the Mid-Atlantic region into the Midwest. Meanwhile, a cold front will
move across the northern High Plains and into the Dakotas/western
Nebraska with time, ahead of the upper low. Both of these fronts
will focus convective development and some severe risk --
particularly from afternoon onward.
...Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic vicinity...
Substantial uncertainty persists across the Northeast U.S. in terms
of severe potential on Wednesday, with ongoing convection -- and
possibly some remnant low-end severe risk -- moving across parts of
the Northeast. With the cold front expected to be moving offshore
of New England early, primary severe risk should reside within a
west-to-east corridor near the surface front, extending westward
into the Midwest region. As height falls continue across the
region, episodes of thunderstorm development can be expected within
this corridor through much of the period. Primary risks will be
locally damaging gusts and hail. Beyond this general assessment, a
more detailed evolution remains difficult to discern at this time,
and thus areal adjustments can be expected with subsequent outlooks.
...Northern Plains...
Afternoon destabilization is forecast across the northern Plains
states, ahead of the advancing cold front. As large-scale ascent
increases through late afternoon, isolated storm development is
expected over the western Dakotas. With mid-level southwesterlies
increasing ahead of the trough, atop low-level southeasterlies,
resulting shear will support storm organization -- including
supercells. Large hail and locally damaging gusts will be the
primary risks.
As a southerly low-level jet develops across the Plains during the
evening, an increase in storm coverage -- including potential for
some evolution toward an MCS -- is expected. As such -- risk for
hail/wind will likely continue through the evening and possibly into
the overnight hours.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN...AND INTO IOWA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday from portions of the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley to the central Plains. A few strong
storms also will be possible over portions of the Virginia and North
Carolina vicinity.
...Synopsis...
While weak upper short-wave troughing shifts across the Northeast on
Thursday, a much stronger trough/low will continue to advance
into/across the north-central U.S. through the period. At the
surface, a cold front is forecast to sag southward across the
Mid-Atlantic region in lee of the Appalachians, while a more
substantial cold front shifts eastward/southeastward across the
Plains through the period.
...Mid and Upper Mississippi Valley area to the central Plains...
As the upper low and associated trough extending southward across
the northern Plains gradually advances, eastward progression of the
associated cold front will result in afternoon storm development
from western Minnesota southwestward into Kansas. While both
instability and shear are expected to diminish gradually with
southwestward extent along the front, 2500 to 3500 J/kg mixed-layer
CAPE is forecast by late afternoon from central Minnesota into far
northeastern Nebraska and Iowa, along with 0-6 km shear in the 35 to
45 kt range. This will support vigorous storms, and attendant risks
for large hail and damaging wind gusts. With time, linear/upscale
organization is expected to occur, with severe risk shifting across
the Upper Midwest/upper Mississippi Valley region through the
evening hours. Lesser risk with southwestward extent should
gradually diminish after sunset.
...Virginia/North Carolina vicinity...
As weak mid-level short-wave troughing shifts across the Northeast,
a cold front back-dooring southward in lee of the Appalachians may
focus development of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Rather
weak northwesterly flow aloft, but moderate destabilization that is
expected to occur, will likely support a few multicell clusters,
along with attendant risks for marginal hail and minor wind damage.
Risk should remain confined to the afternoon and early evening
hours, diminishing in tandem with nocturnal stabilization.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LAKE
HURON AND ERIE VICINITY WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Strong/locally severe storms will be possible from Lakes Huron and
Erie southwestward into the Midwest Friday.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will continue moving slowly eastward out of
the north-central U.S. across the Great Lakes and Midwest on Friday,
with the more vigorous portion of the trough expected to eject
northeastward across western Ontario into the Hudson Bay region.
At the surface, a cold front is forecast to continue eastward across
the Great Lakes, southeastward across the Midwest, and slowly
southward across the southern Plains. By the end of the period, the
front should extend from the Lower Great Lakes west-southwestward
across the Ohio Valley, and into Oklahoma and northern Texas.
...Lower Michigan/northern Ohio/northwestern Pennsylvania across the
Midwest...
Moderate destabilization is expected in tandem with afternoon
heating ahead of the cold front, from Lower Michigan
west-southwestward across northern Illinois and Missouri, and
southward across the warm sector. As the front slowly advances,
scattered thunderstorm development is expected, initially across the
lower Michigan and potentially into parts of Ohio, and then
expanding southwestward across Indiana, Illinois, and into Missouri.
Although the stronger deep-layer shear will largely remain to the
cool side of the front, modest westerly mid-level flow of 20-25 kts
will favor loosely organized storms, with some potential for upscale growth/clustering. Strong/isolated damaging gusts and perhaps
severe hail will be possible. While risk should diminish after
dark, convection -- and very limited risk with a couple of stronger
storms -- may continue well into the overnight hours.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AREA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe potential -- mainly in the form of damaging gusts -- is
expected across portions of the northeast/central Appalachians and
into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys Saturday. A few strong/severe
gusts may also occur over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley
vicinity during the afternoon.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough moving across central Canada and the Great Lakes
region will amplify modestly as it progresses eastward through
Saturday night. Meanwhile, large-scale upper ridging will continue
to prevail over the West.
At the surface, a weakening cold front will continue moving eastward
across the Lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley into the Northeast and
Tennessee Valley area through Saturday afternoon and evening.
Meanwhile, a much stronger cold front is forecast to shift rapidly southeastward/southward out of Canada across the Upper Great Lakes
and northern/central Plains through the period.
...Portions of the Northeast west-southwestward across the Ohio and
Tennessee Valleys...
As a weakening cold front shifts southeastward into the
Northeast/across the Ohio Valley during the afternoon in tandem with
weak mid-level height falls, heating/destabilization will support
development of bands of thunderstorms across this region. The
strongest flow aloft will remain across New York and into
Pennsylvania, with weaker flow southwestward along the front.
However, more substantial CAPE is expected farther south/southwest.
The best juxtaposition of favorable kinematics and ample instability
is forecast from portions of southeastern New York southwestward
into the West Virginia/Maryland/northern Virginia vicinity. Here,
locally damaging winds and some hail will be possible --
particularly during the afternoon hours. Lesser risk will extend
southwestward -- potentially as far west-southwest as the middle
Mississippi Valley area.
...Upper Mississippi Valley vicinity...
As a strong cold front advances south-southeastward across the
Northern Plains/Upper Great Lakes region ahead of a digging
mid-level short-wave through, weak/rather low-topped instability is
forecast to develop during the afternoon. This will support widely
scattered thunderstorm development near the advancing front, within
a very favorably strong kinematic environment. As such, fast-moving
storms will be capable of producing gusty/damaging winds locally,
before storms diminish after sunset.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC REGIONS...AND SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong/isolated severe storms capable of producing gusty/damaging
winds will be possible from the Mid-Atlantic region to the central
and southern Appalachians, and possibly parts of New England on
Sunday.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough advancing initially across Ontario and the Upper
Great Lakes region will progress steadily eastward eastern Canada
and the northeastern U.S. through the period. Upstream, ridging
will prevail over the West, though an eastern Pacific upper low will
approach the Oregon/northern California Coasts late in the period.
At the surface, an initial/weakening cold front lingering across New
England and the Atlantic Coast states during the first half of the
period will be gradually overtaken by a second/stronger front
shifting across the Great Lakes/Midwest early in the period. By
Monday morning, the front will likely have reached/moved off the New
England and Mid-Atlantic Coasts, trailing southwestward across the
southeast and Gulf Coast regions.
...Parts of New England to the Mid-Atlantic region, and into the central/southern Appalachians...
The remnant surface cold front -- gradually being overtaken by the stronger/reinforcing front -- will serve as a focus for convective
activity Sunday. As the upper trough steadily advances,
increasingly strong flow aloft will overspread the Northeast/New
England. With that said however, substantial questions persist
across the Northeast -- particularly into New England -- given
likelihood for ongoing convection/cloud cover in the vicinity of the initial/weakening front. Thus, despite increasingly favorable
deep-layer shear that would otherwise support well-organized
convection, afternoon destabilization potential may be sufficiently
hampered so as to substantially limit severe potential.
Farther to the south -- across portions of the Mid-Atlantic region
and west-southwestward across the Appalachians, somewhat greater destabilization potential is expected, but with weaker flow aloft as
compared to areas farther north. Still, shear may prove sufficient
when combined with the anticipated/modest afternoon destabilization
to support stronger storms locally, and associated risk for gusty
outflow winds and local/minor wind damage during the afternoon and
early evening hours.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm potential remains quite limited across the U.S.
on Monday.
...Discussion...
A progressive long-wave upper trough will continue shifting across
eastern NOAM on Monday, while large-scale ridging expands across the
central and eastern U.S. in its wake. Farther west, an upper low
near the southwestern Oregon/northwestern California coastal area
will shift inland/eastward with time, devolving into an open wave
with time.
At the surface, a cold front will likely have cleared the New
England and Mid-Atlantic Coasts by Monday morning, and should linger
from the vicinity of the Southern Atlantic Coast westward across the
Gulf Coast area and into Texas. Meanwhile, high pressure will
prevail east of the Rockies, in the wake of the surface front.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected across parts of the southern
U.S. near and ahead of the stalling surface front. While a couple
of stronger storms may occur during the day in the vicinity of the
Carolinas, the overall risk for severe weather appears limited at
best over the entire southern CONUS.
In the West, meager mixed-layer CAPE atop a deep mixed layer can be
expected across portions of the Oregon/Idaho/western Montana
vicinity and into portions of the Great Basin. With enhanced flow
aloft ahead of the aforementioned upper short-wave trough, a
stronger storm or two may evolve, with some enhancement convective
downdrafts provided by evaporative potential in the deep
surface-based mixed layer. However, with only very isolated
thunderstorms anticipated -- coverage of stronger convection appears insufficient to warrant inclusion of a 5% wind/MRGL risk area at
this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE NORTHERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION AND GREAT BASIN...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong/a few severe storms capable of producing damaging
wind gusts, and possibly marginal hail, are expected from the
northern Intermountain region eastward into the northern High
Plains, and southward into Utah.
...Synopsis...
As a large-scale upper trough continues to vacate the northeastern
U.S. Tuesday, a second/short-wave trough initially situated over the
Pacific Northwest will advance eastward across the northern
Intermountain region/Great Basin.
At the surface, a cold front will shift eastward across the
northwestern quarter of the country, in conjunction with the
advancing upper trough, while westerly flow aloft will maintain a
High-Plains lee trough. Meanwhile, a remnant baroclinic zone will
linger from the southern Atlantic coastal area westward across the
Gulf Coast/northern Gulf of Mexico through the period, as a large
area of high pressure prevails north of the front, across the
central and eastern U.S., through the period.
...Montana to the western Dakotas, and southward to northwestern
Colorado and Utah...
As the upper system advances eastward across Idaho/western Montana
and the Great Basin during the afternoon, daytime heating/mixing
will eventually result in 500 to 1000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE atop a
deep/dry boundary layer. This will support development of scattered thunderstorms from western Montana/eastern Idaho southward across
Utah and adjacent portions of eastern Nevada.
The strongest storms are expected to evolve from southwestern
Montana south to northern Utah, where CAPE should be maximized ahead
of the trough, and a belt of 30 to 40 kt west-southwesterly
mid-level flow on the southeastern periphery of the upper trough
should reside. Here, a couple of the strongest -- potentially
rotating -- storms will be capable of producing both strong/severe
outflow winds and possibly marginal hail. Surrounding this area,
where instability and/or shear should remain a bit weaker, the
primary risk will be isolated strong wind gusts.
Through late afternoon and into the evening, convection -- and local
risk for strong/damaging winds -- will spread eastward toward/into
the High Plains, before weakening into the overnight hours.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES AND PLAINS INTO MUCH OF MINNESOTA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms are possible on Wednesday across
parts of the central and northern Rockies and Plains into parts of
Minnesota.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough initially over the Great Basin/Intermountain West
is forecast to move east-southeastward and gradually deamplify on
Wednesday, as it begins to merge with a more prominent upper-level
trough that will cover parts of the Canadian Prairies into the
northern/central Plains. Multiple embedded shortwaves within the
larger trough will likely move across parts of the Dakotas and
Minnesota. A weak surface wave may develop during the afternoon
along a cold front that will extend from parts of MN and the Dakotas
into the central Plains.
...Parts of the northern/central Rockies/Plains into Minnesota...
A large area of at least low-end severe potential may evolve from
parts of the central/northern Rockies/Plains into Minnesota. The
Marginal Risk has been maintained with some minor adjustments;
further refinement to the risk area is likely if areas of relatively
lower or higher threat become evident with time.
Scattered thunderstorms may develop relatively early in the day
across the higher terrain of CO/WY/MT, in association with the
shortwave trough emerging from the Intermountain West. While
low-level moisture will likely remain rather limited, steep midlevel
lapse rates and modestly favorable deep-layer shear could support a
few organized multicells and perhaps a marginal supercell or two, as
convection spreads towards the central/northern High Plains.
Isolated strong to severe gusts and hail will be possible. Some
outflow consolidation could support one or more loosely organized
clusters evolving with time, with a threat of strong to locally
severe gusts as storms move eastward into the evening.
Farther northeast, details regarding destabilization and storm development/evolution from the eastern Dakotas into MN remain
uncertain. Some guidance suggests potential for an embedded
shortwave or MCV to move across the region during the
afternoon/evening, which could aid in isolated storm development
near the front, if sufficient moistening and destabilization can
occur. There will also be some potential for storms to develop
and/or spread into the region from the west during the evening, as
the larger-scale upper trough begins to amplify. Relatively steep
midlevel lapse rates and adequate deep-layer shear could support
isolated hail and damaging gusts with the strongest storms.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The threat for organized severe thunderstorms currently appears low
on Thursday, but a few strong storms cannot be ruled out across
parts of the upper Midwest, New Mexico, and south-central Colorado.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough is forecast to amplify and move southeastward
across the Canadian Prairies into the upper Midwest/Great Lakes on
Thursday. To the southwest of this amplifying trough, a weakening
shortwave is forecast to move southeastward across the
central/southern Rockies into the southern High Plains. At the
surface, a cold front is forecast to extend southwestward from the
Great Lakes into parts of the Midwest and central/southern Plains
during the afternoon.
...Parts of the upper Midwest...
Elevated convection will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across
parts of WI and western upper MI. While this convection will likely
tend to weaken with time, a strong storm or two cannot be ruled out
early in the period.
As the cold front moves south-southeastward through the day,
isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development will be
possible in the vicinity of the frontal zone. Large-scale forcing
and deep-layer flow are forecast to be somewhat stronger near the
upper Midwest portion of the front, in response to the amplifying
upper-level trough. Relatively substantial spread persists among
guidance regarding the extent of moistening/destabilization, though
in general, buoyancy is expected to remain relatively modest,
rendering any organized-severe potential uncertain.
With relatively limited low-level moisture, pockets of rather strong heating/mixing could develop, which may support localized gusty
winds with any stronger storms. If stronger destabilization does
evolve during the afternoon, then isolated hail cannot be ruled out.
At this time, confidence in an organized severe threat remains too
low for probabilities.
...South-central CO into NM...
Scattered thunderstorms are expected from south-central CO into NM,
as the weakening shortwave trough moves southeastward across the
region during the afternoon/evening. Effective shear will become
modestly supportive of organized convection (generally 25-30 kt),
but buoyancy may remain rather weak. If adequate instability can be
realized, then some threat for localized hail and strong/severe
gusts could accompany the strongest storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF OHIO
INTO ADJACENT PARTS OF THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to locally severe storms are possible on Friday across much
of Ohio and adjacent portions of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough is forecast to amplify as it digs
southeastward across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions on
Friday. A mid/upper-level cyclone is forecast to develop with time,
as a strong embedded shortwave moves southeastward into the base of
the trough by Friday evening. A cold front will move through parts
of the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Midwest, and southern Plains.
Farther south, a weak surface wave may develop along a front near
the Gulf Coast and move northeastward along or just offshore of the
Carolina coast late Friday night into early Saturday morning. To the
west, an upper ridge will remain in place across the Southwest,
while a shortwave trough begins to move inland across northern CA
into the Pacific Northwest.
...Ohio and adjacent parts of the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley...
Thunderstorms are expected to develop near the cold front Friday
afternoon across parts of Ohio and vicinity, as the amplifying
upper-level trough begins to impinge upon the region. Low-level
moisture will likely remain rather limited ahead of the front,
though relatively strong heating/mixing will steepen low-level lapse
rates. Somewhat more favorable moisture and buoyancy will reside
near and immediately behind the front, with MLCAPE potentially
approaching or exceeding 1000 J/kg.
Low-level flow will likely remain rather weak, but gradually
increasing effective shear (generally into the 25-35 kt range) could
support a few stronger storms capable of at least isolated damaging
winds during the afternoon and perhaps into the evening. Isolated
hail also cannot be ruled out with any stronger discrete cells.
...Gulf Coast to the Carolina Coast...
Some increase in low-level flow is possible in the vicinity of the
frontal wave that may develop near the Gulf Coast and move toward
the coastal Carolinas overnight. While this could be accompanied by
some increase in low-level shear/SRH, buoyancy is currently expected
to remain quite weak, so potential for organized convection inland
appears relatively uncertain/limited at this time.

Thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday in parts of the
southwestern states, the Pacific Northwest and from the Southeast
northward to the lower Great Lakes. No severe weather is expected.
...DISCUSSION...
An upper-level low will move eastward across southeast Canada on
Saturday, as an associated mid-level trough moves into the central Appalachians. At the surface, a cold front will advance
southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic, Carolinas and Southeast.
Ahead of the front, scattered thunderstorms will likely develop as a
moist airmass heats up during the day. Additional storms will be
possible on Saturday in the vicinity of a large area of mid-level
high pressure located over the southwestern U.S. A few strikes may
also occur near the Interstate-5 corridor in western Washington
southward into the Willamette Valley.

...DISCUSSION...
An upper-level trough will move eastward through the Northeast on

expected to develop in the Four Corners, with more isolated storms
forming over the north-central states. No severe weather is expected
across the continental United States Monday or Monday night.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
WESTERN INTO CENTRAL NEW YORK...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms will be possible on Monday in parts of the lower Great
Lakes, along the Gulf Coast, and from the Four Corners northward
into the northern Plains. Some storms may produce damaging wind
gusts over western into central New York.
...Synopsis...
A pronounced mid-level trough will eject into the Atlantic while
weaker mid-level troughs, embedded in mainly zonal flow, traverse
the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains tomorrow (Monday). Surface
high pressure will dominate the Midwest to Atlantic Seaboard while
surface troughing becomes established over the central and northern
Plains. An embedded mid-level impulse will pivot around the backside
of the East Coast trough and provide adequate lift for at least
scattered thunderstorms over NY and immediate surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, strong surface heating and orographic lift will encourage
isolated to scattered thunderstorm development over the Great Basin
into the Four Corners region, with scattered thunderstorm
development also possible over the Northern Plains with the passage
of a mid-level trough. Finally, scattered thunderstorms may also
develop by afternoon peak heating amid a moist boundary layer along
the Gulf Coast into FL.
...Portions of New York...
A 500 mb speed max will rotate around the backside of the East Coast
trough by afternoon, when boundary-layer heating will support the
steepening of low-level lapse rates to about 7.5-8 C/km, resulting
in over 500 J/kg MLCAPE over central NY. While buoyancy will be weak
overall, the 500 mb speed max overspreading the region will result
in elongated mid/upper-level hodographs. As such, highly sheared and
low-topped multicell storms are expected to develop during the
afternoon. Some of the stronger storms may produce potentially
damaging wind gusts, necessitating the introduction of Category
1/Marginal risk probabilities.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTH LA TO THE
COASTAL WESTERN FL PANHANDLE...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are possible across the central Gulf Coast vicinity
on Wednesday into Wednesday night, in association with Tropical
Cyclone Francine.
...Central Gulf Coast...
Per latest NHC forecasts and ensemble guidance, Tropical Storm
Francine is expected to become a hurricane over the northwest Gulf
and make landfall along the LA coast around Wednesday evening. A low-probability tornado threat with outer-band convection should
reach coastal LA by Wednesday morning. The more favorable overlap of strengthening low-level shear/SRH and intrusion of deeper tropical
moisture (surface dew points in the mid/upper 70s F) is expected
during the afternoon and evening across parts of south-central to
southeast LA and far southeast MS/southwest AL. As the TC progresses
inland and weakens Wednesday night, some broadening of the favorable SRH/surface-based buoyancy environment should spread east into the
coastal FL Panhandle. The northern extent of a low-probability
tornado threat remains uncertain, with surface-based buoyancy
potentially remaining quite limited into parts of central MS and
interior south AL Wednesday night.
...Interior Northwest to the northern High Plains...
A shortwave trough will progress inland from the coastal Pacific
Northwest, likely reaching the northern Rockies to central Great
Basin by 12Z Thursday. Large-scale ascent and cooling mid-level
temperatures attendant to the approaching trough will support
scattered thunderstorms across the interior Northwest on Wednesday
afternoon. While the bulk of strong mid-level flow will remain
displaced west of the shortwave trough, moderate enhancement of
southwesterlies will occur ahead of it. This should be adequate for
marginal updraft rotation amid weak surface-based buoyancy. Isolated
strong to localized severe gusts along with small to marginally
severe hail will be possible into the early evening.
Separately, isolated to widely scattered high-based, low-topped
thunderstorms should form in the late afternoon along a lee trough
towards a quasi-stationary front over the northern High Plains.
Meager buoyancy and modest deep-layer shear within a meridional wind
profile suggest sporadic severe gusts in microbursts will be the
main threat. Along the immediate north of the front, a confined
corridor of greater moisture/instability should be in place during
the afternoon/evening, but capping will likely limit surface-based
development. A few stronger elevated storms will be possible into
Wednesday night, but potential for severe hail appears negligible.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN
PARTS OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are possible across the central Gulf Coast vicinity
on Wednesday into Wednesday night, in association with Tropical
Cyclone Francine.
...Northern Gulf Coast...
Francine is forecast to become a hurricane over the northwest Gulf
of Mexico, with strengthening wind fields overspreading much of the
central Gulf Coast states from Wednesday afternoon into the night.
Preceding this system, a stationary front will exist roughly
parallel to the coast, with the more unstable/tropical moisture to
the south.
As southerly winds increase east of the cyclone center, this will
lift the front north as a warm front, with mid 70s F dewpoints
spreading north across southern MS, AL, and the western FL
Panhandle. Rapidly enlarging hodographs in the vicinity of the warm
front may support a zone of tornado potential as bands of cells push
northward off the Gulf of Mexico and arc northwestward. Tornado
potential on the north side will be limited by the more stable air
due to high pressure to the north.
...Parts of the Northwest/Northern Rockies...
A strong shortwave trough will move across the Pacific Northwest and
into the Great Basin, with substantial cooling aloft. A cold front
will generally stretch from a low over western MT across central ID
and into northern NV during the afternoon, with the strongest
heating ahead of the front across NV, UT and western WY. Post
frontal rain and a few thunderstorms are likely near the developing
cold front early in the day from northern ID into eastern OR, with
diurnal convection developing over southeast OR, southwest ID and
northern NV. Deep-layer shear will not be particularly strong given
that the primary speed max will dive southeastward across the
Sierra. However, cool temperatures aloft may yield small hail, with
scattered strong gusts with the larger clusters of storms.
Additional marginally severe storms may occur from western MT into
northwest WY near the deepening surface trough and aided by very
steep lapse rates supporting strong gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE TO CENTRAL ALABAMA AND IN EASTERN MONTANA...
...SUMMARY...
On Thursday, a few tornadoes will be possible, mainly in the morning
and afternoon from the Florida Panhandle to north-central Alabama.
Scattered large hail and severe gusts will also be possible across
the eastern Montana vicinity during the afternoon to early evening.
...Synopsis...
A strong mid-level trough will become negatively tilted across the
northern Rockies on Thursday afternoon as a moderately strong
mid-level jet streak wraps around the southern periphery of the
primary trough. At the same time, Hurricane Francine will undergo
extratropical transition across portions of the Southeast.
...FL Panhandle to the TN Valley...
Thursday morning, backed surface winds and favorable hodographs for
low-level rotating updrafts will be present along the
Florida/Alabama coastal region. In addition, a tropical airmass with
upper 70s dewpoints will support MLCAPE of 2000+ J/kg during the
morning hours. South-southeasterly surface winds during the late
morning will veer to south-southwesterly by the early afternoon
hours which will lessen low-level shear and also lead to some
dry-air advection and weaker instability during the afternoon and
evening. Therefore, the primary tornado threat across the Florida
Panhandle and southern Alabama should be confined to the morning
hours.
By early-to-mid afternoon, guidance indicates at least some clearing
of cloud-cover across central Alabama which may result in some
surface heating and destabilization with MLCAPE of 1000 to 1500 J/kg
possible. The potential for this increase in diurnal instability may
overlap the period when the most favorable wind profile also exists
across the same region. This could result in a threat for a few
tornadic storms across central Alabama during the mid-to-late
afternoon period.
...Eastern Montana vicinity...
Strong forcing will overspread eastern Montana Thursday afternoon as
a mid-level shortwave trough approaches the region. A well-mixed,
relatively moisture-starved airmass will exist ahead of the cold
front/surface low. However, in the immediate wake of the cold front,
prior to the colder surface air, better moisture will wrap around
the surface low. This will lead to a narrow corridor of weak to
moderate instability and the potential for scattered thunderstorms.
Strong effective shear (55+ knots) will exist in this post-frontal
airmass where storms are anticipated. Therefore, supercells or a few
bowing segments may be possible with a threat for severe wind gusts
and large hail.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF THE
TN VALLEY TO THE FL PANHANDLE...
...SUMMARY...
A couple brief tornadoes and locally damaging winds are possible
across a part of the Southeast on Friday morning into the afternoon.
...Southeast...
The remnants of TC Francine are expected to decay in place near the
AR/TN/MO border vicinity on Friday, with greater weakening of
low-level winds relative to today. Still, the strongest lingering
belt of low-level southeasterlies should persist through Friday
morning into the afternoon to the east, centered on the TN Valley.
This should yield moderate SRH coincident with the northern extent
of weak surface-based instability from central AL/far western GA
northward into Middle TN. This corridor will likely be narrow at any
one time and steadily shift east through the day. A drier air mass
with veered low-level winds is expected to its west, and cooler
surface temps beneath pervasive cloudiness should occur to its
northeast. A couple brief tornadoes will be possible, mainly from
mid-morning into the afternoon.
Low-level winds will diminish with southern extent to the FL
Panhandle, but moderate mid-level southwesterlies should yield
adequate deep-layer shear for transient mid-level rotation. Modest boundary-layer heating of a residual tropical air mass should occur
within a corridor ahead of an occluded surface front. Locally strong
gusts capable of sporadic tree damage remain possible.

Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected Sunday.
...Discussion...
A blocking upper pattern will hold in the East, with a stout
mid-level anticyclone over the Lower Great Lakes and the remnants of
post-TC Francine in the Lower MS Valley. A strong mid/upper jet
approaching the Pacific Coast will yield a closed mid/upper low over
northern to central CA by Sunday night. Strengthening large-scale
ascent downstream should foster a broadening area of low-probability thunderstorm potential in the West amid scant buoyancy north of AZ.
During the late afternoon, moderate MLCAPE should develop across
parts of the western Great Plains to central TX. This could be
sufficient for a few strong, but pulse-type thunderstorms given
predominantly weak shear.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EASTERN
GREAT BASIN TO FOUR CORNERS...THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF THE
NORTH...AND EASTERN NC...
...SUMMARY...
On Monday, sporadic severe gusts and marginally severe hail will be
possible during the afternoon to early evening across parts of the
eastern Great Basin to Four Corners. Isolated, marginally severe
storms are possible over eastern North Dakota into northwest
Minnesota during the late afternoon and evening. A low-probability
tornado threat may develop over eastern North Carolina.
...Eastern Great Basin to the Four Corners...
An amplified mid-level low near the Bay Area at 12Z Monday should
initially move east before curling northeast Monday night towards
the NV/UT/ID border area. This will occur in response to a strong
mid-level jet translating through the basal portion of the
large-scale trough across the Desert Southwest into the eastern
Great Basin. Convection should be ongoing Monday morning immediately
ahead of the mid-level low and separately in the low-level
warm/moist conveyor over the Four Corners region. Greater
boundary-layer heating should occur between these two regimes across
eastern NV into UT, west of the Wasatch Range. Despite meager
MLCAPE, the deepening boundary layer amid a strengthening meridional
wind profile should yield efficient downward mixing. This will be
further augmented by evaporatively cooled downdraft accelerations
and promote a threat for sporadic severe gusts.
Farther southeast, a more southwesterly mid to upper-flow regime
should yield hodograph elongation, supporting a few splitting
supercells. Warmer mid-level temperatures and correspondingly weaker
lapse rates will temper parcel acceleration to an extent, but this
may be offset by somewhat higher PW values. Marginal severe
hail/gusts will be possible.
...Eastern ND to northwest MN...
With the primary upper-level trough displaced well to the west,
deep-layer shear will remain weak across much of the Great Plains.
However, most guidance suggests an MCV will emanate out of D1
central High Plains convection and gradually progress northeast
towards the Red River Valley. In conjunction with the northern nose
of a strengthening central to northern Great Plains low-level jet, a
focused corridor for regenerative thunderstorm development may occur
during the late afternoon and evening. Some low-level hodograph
enlargement should support a predominantly clustered convective
mode, with transient supercell structures possible. An isolated,
lower-end severe hail/wind threat may develop, and a brief tornado
is also possible.
...Coastal NC...
While guidance consensus increasingly favors offshore cyclogenesis,
the amplitude of this development along with timing of inland
progression remain quite varied for a D2 forecast. The 00Z NAM and
some of the 18Z ECMWF ENS members suggest particularly robust
deepening will occur. The more aggressive scenarios would yield
substantial enlargement of low-level hodographs, likely becoming
coupled with a narrow swath of high theta-e air spreading
west-northwestward from the Gulf Stream. Given the potential range
of scenarios from nil threat to multiple tornadic supercells, a
low-probability tornado highlight appears warranted.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS AND EASTERN MT...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe gusts and hail are possible Tuesday
across a large swath of the High Plains region, mainly from late
afternoon into the evening. The greater concentrations of severe
storms may occur over the central High Plains and eastern Montana.
...High Plains...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough initially over the eastern Great
Basin will take on a negative tilt as it advances towards the
northern High Plains. Deep lee cyclogenesis is expected over far
northeast WY/southeast MT, with a warm front arcing east across
parts of the Dakotas. This low will advance north then northwestward
across eastern MT through 12Z Wednesday.
Large-scale ascent will be pronounced within this synoptic regime,
with favorable upper-level difluence, mid-level height falls, and
low-level convergence. However, weak buoyancy and modest mid-level
lapse rates will characterize much of the environment to the south
of the surface cyclone and warm front. Aided by a subtropical
moisture plume over the Southwest, morning convection near the Four
Corners region should move across the higher terrain and expand in
coverage into the afternoon.
High-based storms over the central and southern High Plains will
progress into a well-mixed boundary layer that may initially be
devoid of appreciable CAPE. This lack of greater buoyancy during the
late afternoon to early evening (outside of areas north of the warm
front) yields some uncertainty regarding the degree of storm
intensity into the lower elevations. But with scattered to
eventually widespread convection expected with time, extensive
outflows are expected to push east. The most likely corridor for
severe gusts appears to be over the central High Plains where the
most pronounced 700-500 mb flow should advance ahead of the
negative-tilt shortwave trough. Farther south, a few supercells may
initially develop from parts of NM into southeast CO. Modest
mid-level lapse rates should temper updraft vigor, but marginally
severe hail along with isolated severe gusts will be possible.
More favorable low-level moisture with steep mid-level lapse rates
will reside near/north of the warm front, supporting moderate
buoyancy from northeast MT into ND. While stronger ascent and
deep-layer flow may not impinge upon areas north of the front until
near sunset, organized storms should develop over the higher terrain
by late afternoon and spread north within a backed mid-level flow
regime. A few supercells along with an organized cluster or two may
impinge on the greater downstream buoyancy plume, maintaining
threats for large hail and severe gusts into Tuesday night.
...Eastern NC and southeast VA...
While confidence is modest with the probable inland evolution of PTC
8, the bulk signal across guidance is for a weakening low-level wind
field by Tuesday morning across the NC/VA coastal plain. The
potential for low-topped supercells capable of brief tornadoes
appears too low beyond 12Z Tuesday to warrant a risk highlight.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE GREAT PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe wind and hail are possible across a portion of the
Great Plains during the late afternoon and evening on Wednesday.
...Great Plains...
A vertically stacked cyclone over eastern MT at 12Z Wednesday should
drift towards the ND/SK/MB border area. A mid-level jetlet of 50-60
kt winds at 500 mb should be confined within the dry slot, near the
ND/SD border area on Wednesday afternoon. A dryline should become
established from the eastern Dakotas to the southern High Plains.
Remnant convective outflows from overnight to decaying morning
convection are expected in the confined moist sector ahead of the
dryline. The primary cold front attendant to the cyclone should
gradually push east in the Dakotas and eventually merge with the
retreating dryline early morning Thursday.
Large-scale ascent ahead of the dryline appears nebulous for
surface-based storms during the afternoon to early evening.
Lingering outflows and areas of greater boundary-layer heating
should serve to focus isolated thunderstorm development. Guidance
varies greatly with placement of convection given the weak forcing
for ascent regime. But with a confined plume of moderate MLCAPE from
1500-2000 J/kg and 30-35 kt effective bulk shear, a conditional
lower-end supercell environment will exist. Relatively warm
mid-level temperatures will contribute to weaker lapse rates south
of the Mid-MO Valley, likely being a mitigating factor to more
robust updrafts where sustained storms can occur. The bulk of
guidance, outside of the 00Z GFS and RRFS, suggest sustained storm
development farther north will primarily be a result of low-level
warm theta-e advection Wednesday night. As such, severe storm
coverage will probably remain rather isolated.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF THE
UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from mid-afternoon to
mid-evening on Thursday across central/eastern Minnesota, northern
Iowa, and western Wisconsin. A few tornadoes, isolated very large
hail, and damaging winds may occur.
...Upper Midwest...
A vertically stacked cyclone near the ND/SK/MB border area on
Thursday morning will advance northeast across MB through the
period. Mid-level west-southwesterlies will remain enhanced (35-50
kt from 700-500 mb) through the afternoon to the south-southeast of
this cyclone, before the system as a whole weakens and progresses
farther away from the Upper Midwest. At the surface, a cold front
will arc south, and progress east over MN/IA. Ahead of the front, a
confined plume of mid to upper 60s surface dew points will be
maintained, but will decrease within a drier boundary layer deeper
into WI and IL. The aforementioned flow regime will yield initially
steep mid-level lapse rates from 7-8 C/km through early afternoon.
Coupled with the rich buoyancy plume, moderate to large MLCAPE of
2000-3000 J/kg appears plausible, northeast of the Mid-MO Valley.
Guidance spread does exist with the timing and related spatial
placement of initial thunderstorm development along the front. Some
models suggest scattered convection should form during the early to
mid afternoon, while others are delayed until the late afternoon.
This may be related to the strength of the elevated mixed layer and
timing of weakened MLCIN. This uncertainty within a limited
longitudinal extent of greater threat, precludes a level 3-ENH risk.
The conditional large to very large hail threat appears favorable
amid a vertically veering wind profile with height that will support
initial supercells. While some clustering is possible owing to
frontal convergence, the bulk of severe convection may remain tied
to semi-discrete supercells given the nearly perpendicular mid-level
wind profile to the front and moderately enlarged low-level
hodograph. This should support potential for a few tornadoes as
well. Clustering should become more prominent after sunset, but the
severe threat is expected to diminish soon after dusk as activity
outpaces the nocturnally shrinking buoyancy plume.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF THE MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible in the late
afternoon Friday in parts of Illinois, Indiana, and southwest Lower
Michigan.
...Midwest...
A low-amplitude shortwave trough will pass across the Upper to
Central Great Lakes during the first half of the period. This will
outpace a cold front that trails from a cyclone shifting northeast
in MB, yielding a largely weakening to stalling front by Friday
evening. Most guidance suggests at least isolated thunderstorms
should form within a low-level warm conveyor ahead of the front,
generally focused on a moderate buoyancy plume emanating northeast
from parts of MO/AR. A fast westerly upper jet will further impinge
on this portion of the front as well, favorably timed with peak
boundary-layer heating. A few marginally severe storms may develop
within this regime. Despite weak mid-level lapse rates, elongation
of the mid to upper hodograph should support a threat for 1-1.5 inch
hail, along with strong to marginally severe gusts from 45-60 mph.
These threats should diminish quickly after sunset.
...Southern High Plains...
Locally strong gusts are possible during the late afternoon to early
evening with high-based, low-topped convection amid a weak buoyancy environment. The region will remain between a stout mid-level
anticyclone over the Lower Rio Grande Valley and a southern-stream
shortwave trough slowly moving across CA into AZ. Relatively warm
mid-level temperatures should preclude appreciable storm intensity,
but well-mixed boundary layers could support sporadic gusts
approaching severe levels.
...Central Great Plains...
Isolated elevated storms may develop overnight into Saturday morning
within a strengthening warm theta-e advection regime. Weak mid-level
lapse rates should temper elevated buoyancy and limit hail potential
to some extent. But sufficient mid to upper-level speed shear could
foster small hail production.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND WESTERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Saturday afternoon to
early evening in New Mexico and the southern High Plains, the mid
Missouri Valley to upper Mississippi Valley, and central
Appalachians region.
...Southern High Plains vicinity...
A southern stream upper low and attendant trough will progress east
across the Four Corners and southern Rockies on Saturday. An area of
enhanced southwesterly flow aloft associated with the ejecting
trough will become oriented over eastern NM into the OK/TX
Panhandles by 00z/Sun. While strong heating will result in some
boundary layer mixing, south/southeasterly low-level flow will
result in persistent theta-e advection, and dewpoints from the upper
50s to low 60s F are expected. Steepening midlevel lapse rates will
contribute to modest destabilization, with 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE
forecast across parts of eastern NM into the TX Panhandle/South
Plains vicinity. Vertically veering wind profiles amid strengthening
midlevel flow will support isolated supercell thunderstorms. Large
hail and sporadic strong/severe gusts are possible. Given increasing consistency in forecast guidance, a Slight risk (level 2 of 5) has
been included for parts of the eastern NM Plains into west Texas.
Additional strong storms are possible to the north and west across
northeast NM into south-central CO beneath the core of mid/upper
low. Instability will be weaker across this area, but isolated
strong gusts and marginal hail will still be possible with the
strongest storms.
...Western PA into northern/central VA...
A low-amplitude mid/upper shortwave trough is forecast to move
across the Northeast on Saturday. Northwesterly deep-layer flow will
overspread the Upper OH Valley toward the Mid-Atlantic coast. A
corridor of low to mid 60s F dewpoints and pockets of stronger
heating will support weak destabilization. Modest vertical shear
(around 20-25 kt effective shear) will aid in at least transient
organized updrafts. Elongated/straight hodographs and cool
temperatures aloft suggest marginally severe hail will be possible
with the stronger cells. Locally strong gusts also will be possible
where stronger heating and steepening of low-level lapse rates
occurs.
...Central Plains to Mid-MO/Upper MS Valley...
The forecast for this region remains quite uncertain for Saturday.
Most guidance depicts some degree of convection ongoing across parts
of IA/MO Saturday morning. The evolution of this activity will
impact how the airmass destabilizes/recovers late in the afternoon
across the region. Nevertheless, large-scale ascent will increase
over the Upper Midwest as a northern stream upper trough traverses
the Canadian Prairies and the international border vicinity.
Southerly low-level flow will maintain 60s dewpoints ahead of a cold
front tracking southeast across MN and the Mid-MO/Upper MS Valley
from late afternoon into the evening. Isolated strong to severe
thunderstorms producing hail and gusty winds will be possible, but
the overall risk remains uncertain.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST TEXAS
INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday from west Texas
to central/southern Missouri.
...Southern Plains to Mid-MS Valley...
Forecast guidance has trended somewhat southward with severe
potential on Sunday, and the Marginal risk (level 1 of 5) has been
adjusted to reflect latest model trends.
An upper shortwave trough over the central/southern Rockies Sunday
morning will eject east to the mid-MS Valley by Monday morning. This
will bring a belt of 40-50 kt mid/upper southwesterly flow over the
region. At the surface, a cold front will develop southeast from
near Lake Michigan to northwest Texas at midday to the Ohio Valley
and central Texas by 12z Monday. A seasonally moist airmass will be
in place ahead of the front, with surface dewpoints in the mid to
upper 60s F forecast. Some uncertainty remains in where the corridor
of greater strong/severe storm potential will develop, mainly driven
by ongoing convection across parts of the region Sunday morning.
Nevertheless, where pockets of greater heating occur, favorable
vertical shear and increasing forcing from both the surface front
and the ejecting midlevel wave, will support organized storm
development. Damaging gusts will be the main hazard with
thunderstorm clusters and line segments. However, vertical shear may
be suitable for a few supercells, especially across west Texas.
Isolated large hail will be possible with any more discrete cells
that develop and can be maintained ahead of the front.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OZARKS
INTO PARTS OF KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the Ozarks
into parts of Kentucky and Tennessee on Monday.
...Ozarks to KY/TN...
An upper shortwave trough from the Mid/Lower MO Valley to the
southern Plains vicinity will not progress eastward very much on
Monday. However, enhanced midlevel flow (around 40 kt at 500 mb)
associated with this feature will overspread the Ozarks to the Lower
OH and TN Valley vicinity. At the surface, a cold front will develop
south and east across southern MO and AR, becoming located near the
MS River by 12z Tuesday. Meanwhile a quasi-stationary surface
boundary will be oriented west to east near the OH River.
While a moist boundary layer will exist across the warm sector,
bounded by these surface fronts, considerable uncertainty remains in
the Day 2/Mon forecast. This uncertainty is largely driven by
widespread cloudiness and perhaps areas of ongoing precipitation
Monday morning, possibly resulting in stunted daytime
heating/destabilization. Additionally, given the less progressive
nature of the mid/upper trough, large-scale ascent may remain
somewhat nebulous/unfocused through peak heating. Nevertheless,
where pockets of stronger heating and destabilization occur across
the warm sector, strong to severe storms will be possible given
moderate vertical shear overspreading the moist boundary layer in
the presence of a surface boundary. Isolated damaging gusts and
sporadic hail will be the main hazards with this activity Monday
afternoon into the evening.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday across
portions of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the central/southern Appalachians.
...OH/TN Valleys toward the Central/Southern Appalachians...
A complicated/messy scenario is unfolding for severe potential on
Tuesday. Most 00z CAMs and deterministic guidance suggests
potentially widespread convection may be ongoing Tuesday morning
across the Ohio Valley vicinity. This will limit heating and
destabilization across a broad warm sector ahead of an
eastward-advancing surface cold front. Nevertheless, a deepening
mid/upper trough will slowly shift east from eastern portions of the central/southern Plains toward the MS River. Strengthening
deep-layer southwesterly flow will overspread the region, providing
support for organized convection, with a mix clusters and line
segments possible.
Given uncertainty due to morning convection and subsequent airmass destabilization, as well has some disagreement in timing of the
mid/upper trough, have introduced a rather broad Marginal risk
(level 1 of 5). Some refinement of this area, and/or potential
upgrades may be needed in subsequent outlooks if confidence
sufficiently increases in a more favorable/focused corridor of
severe potential. Where stronger heating/destabilization can occur,
damaging gusts will be possible.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm potential is low on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
An upper low within the base of the larger-scale upper trough
extending from the Great Lakes to the Lower MS Valley will become
cut-off from northern stream flow on Wednesday. As this occurs, the
northern shortwave trough will progress east across the Great Lakes
and southern Ontario. The developing upper cyclone over the
Mid-South/Lower MS Valley will not move much through the period.
However, moderately enhanced southerly deep-layer flow on the
eastern flank of the cut-off low will persist over the Southeast.
Meanwhile, latest forecast guidance and NHC forecasts show a
strengthening tropical cyclone emerging across the eastern Gulf of
Mexico. This system is forecast to remain well offshore from the
southwest FL coast through 12z Thursday.
...Southeast...
A stalled surface boundary/inverted trough will extend from near
coastal MS/AL northeast across the central Appalachians. Near and
east of this boundary, south/southeasterly low-level flow will
maintain a very moist airmass with dewpoints from the mid 60s to low
70s F. Potentially widespread convection may be ongoing Wednesday
morning across portions of this area, limiting destabilization.
Despite vertical shear that may otherwise support organized
convection, weak instability and poor lapse rates will limit severe
potential, though the strongest cells may produce locally gusty
winds.
Further south across the FL Peninsula, southeasterly low to midlevel
flow will increase, especially after 00z, as the developing tropical
cyclone emerges into the eastern Gulf. Forecast soundings show
enlarged, favorably curved low-level hodographs developing late in
the period. However, instability across the Peninsula is expected to
remain weak through early Thursday morning. At this time, tropical
cyclone related tornado potential appears limited through 12z
Thursday.
...Upper OH Valley/Lower Great Lakes vicinity...
A cold front will move east/southeast across the Lower Great Lakes
during the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Ahead of this
feature, a corridor of 60s F dewpoints will be in place. However,
surface heating is expected to be muted by cloud cover and showers.
As a result, instability will be weak and lapse rates will remain
poor, precluding severe thunderstorm potential.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA INTO THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE...AND ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and/or brief
tornadoes are possible from southeast Alabama into the western
Florida Panhandle, and across much of the Florida Peninsula.
...Synopsis...
An amplified upper pattern, featuring a ridge extended from northern
Mexico through the northern High Plains and a trough extended from
Ontario into the Lower MS Valley, will cover the CONUS early
Wednesday. Bifurcation of the upper trough is anticipated throughout
the period, with a northern shortwave trough remaining progressive
as it moves across eastern Ontario into southern Quebec, and a
southern upper low stalling over the Mid-South vicinity. The
stalling of the southern upper low will occur as subtropical ridging
builds across the western Atlantic and a tropical cyclone enters the
eastern Gulf of Mexico. Latest forecast guidance from NHC for this
tropical cyclone, which was recently upgraded to Tropical Storm
Helene, suggests the storm will reach hurricane strength during the
day Wednesday, with additional strengthening to major hurricane
strength by early Thursday morning.
Farther west, a progressive shortwave trough is forecast to move
quickly across southern British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest,
ending the period over the northern Rockies.
At the surface, a weak front will likely extend from a low over the
Lake Huron vicinity southward through middle TN before arcing more southwestward to another low in southeast TX. Western portion of
this front over TX and LA is forecast to remain progressive, pushing southeastward to the western Gulf Coast by Wednesday evening.
Eastern portion of the front will stall, maintaining a more
north-south orientation from northern AL through southern Lower MI.
...Upper OH Valley through the southern Appalachians into AL, GA,
and FL Panhandle Wednesday morning into the evening...
A belt of enhanced southwesterly flow aloft is forecast to extend
through the eastern periphery of the upper low developing over the
Mid-South from the FL Panhandle northward into the Upper OH Valley.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated within this
warm conveyor, reaching as far north as western A. However, poor
lapse rates and limited destabilization should mitigate the overall
severe potential across the majority of this region.
An area of locally higher severe potential is anticipated within a
spatially constrained corridor from southeast AL into far southwest
GA and the western FL Panhandle, just west of the primary axis of
precipitation anticipated within the warm conveyor. Here, a mix of
low 70s dewpoints, modest heating, and moderate mid-level flow could
result in a few thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and/or a
brief tornado or two.
...Much of the FL Peninsula...
Rainbands associated with tropical cyclone Helene are forecast to
move across the FL Peninsula throughout the period. At the same
time, low to mid-level flow attendant to the cyclone will increase
as the cyclone and its expansive wind field spread northward. As a
result, vertical shear will be strong enough to support organized
storm structure. Primary mitigating factor is warm, poor lapse rate
profiles that limit buoyancy. Brief tornadoes will be possible
within any updrafts that are able to mature/persist.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CAROLINAS...
...SUMMARY...
A risk for a few tornadoes and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts
exists from the central Appalachians into the Carolinas and southern
Virginia on Friday.
...Central Appalachians and Southern Mid-Atlantic...
The expansive, enhanced low/midlevel flow field on the eastern
periphery of the remnants of Hurricane Helene will impact the
central Appalachians east to portions of coastal SC/NC/southern VA
through Friday afternoon/evening. Convective bands will likely be
ongoing Friday morning across the Pee Dee region of SC, and lift
northward through the afternoon. As a dry slot punches quickly
north/northeast behind this band of convection, the severe risk will
quickly come to an end from south to north by late afternoon or
early evening. Supercell wind profiles, with enlarged, looping
low-level hodographs are evident in forecast soundings around the
region. Strong 0-1 km SRH and surface dewpoints in the mid 70s F
(resulting in favorable low-level instability) will support a
tornado risk with cells within the northward moving convective
bands. Furthermore, given the already strong low-level flow field,
strong thunderstorm wind gusts also will be possible.
...TN/OH Valley vicinity...
Strong winds will likely occur from the central Appalachians
westward across the OH/TN Valley vicinity as Helene tracks
north/northwest and becomes absorbed by the mid/upper cyclone over
the Mid-South region. However, these gusty winds will be tied to the transitioning tropical system, and less influenced by convective
processes, precluding severe probabilities.

The upper-level low across the Ohio Valley will be in the process of
weakening on Saturday. There will be a lingering mid-level jet
across parts of Southeast into the southern Appalachians. However,
dry air wrapping into the Southeast, along with remaining cloud
cover and precipitation, should keep convection shallow and
surface-based buoyancy to a minimum.
Rich moisture will remain across much of the Florida Peninsula.
Sufficient surface heating is expected to promote the development of
isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon. Poor lapse rates aloft
and the displacement of the stronger mid-level winds well to the
north will keep severe potential low with this activity.
A pocket of mid-level moisture in the Four Corners vicinity may
promote some convection in the higher terrain of south-central
Colorado into north-central New Mexico. Forecast soundings suggest
most convection will not be deep enough for charge separation except
perhaps on an isolated basis. Thunderstorm potential should remain
below 10%.

Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level low in the Tennessee/mid Ohio Valleys will make
little progress eastward on Sunday. This low will be weakening and
in the process of becoming and open wave during the period. Ridging
aloft will be the main feature in the Southwest into the Midwest,
while a strong upper-level trough will be present in the
Northwest/northern Rockies. At the surface, the pattern will become
more disorganized beneath the upper low as that features weakens. A
front will remain along and just offshore of the eastern coastline.
Thunderstorms are possible from the Florida Peninsula into the
Carolinas and southern parts of Virginia. Some modest mid-level flow enhancement will remain in parts of the Southeast and Carolinas. A
stronger storm or two could potentially develop in central/eastern
North Carolina as heating appears it could support around 1000 J/kg
MLCAPE. However, weak lapse rates/warm temperatures aloft will keep
buoyancy generally limited and convection rather shallow. The
expected environment continues to suggest severe thunderstorm
potential is low. A few isolated lightning flashes may also occur in
central Utah as a weak upper-level shortwave moves into the Great
Basin. Coverage is expected to remain below 10%.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
...Synopsis...
A weakening, positively-tilted upper trough will continue eastward
in the central/southern Appalachians on Monday. On the southern
flank of this trough, mid-level winds will remain modestly enhanced
from Georgia into parts of the eastern Carolinas. Thermodynamic
profiles across the region suggest convection should remain rather
shallow due to warmer temperatures at mid/upper levels. This will
particularly be the case with northern/western extent closer to the
remnant upper level circulation. A few deeper updrafts are possible
near the eastern coast of North Carolina. Despite adequate shear,
weak lapse rates aloft and minimal forcing for ascent will limit
potential for severe storms.
Across the Florida Peninsula, a moist airmass will remain in place.
Daytime heating and ascent along the sea breeze boundary will
promote isolated to scattered storm development during the
afternoon. Weak shear will limit severe potential, however.
Though limited, mid-level moisture within the upper-level ridge will
allow isolated thunderstorms to develop within the higher terrain in
the Four Corners vicinity. Slightly greater coverage may be realized
in central Colorado where PWAT values are forecast to be higher.

A weakening shortwave trough will progress east over the Lower
Mid-Atlantic States on Tuesday and offshore Tuesday night. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible over eastern North Carolina to far
southeast Virginia during the afternoon before the trough departs.
A strong upper-level trough will move across parts of the northern

similarly move eastward, progressing into the lower Ohio Valley and
the lower Great Lakes through the afternoon and evening. With
surface dewpoints in the low 60s, marginal surface-based buoyancy of
500-750 J/kg MLCAPE could develop ahead of the front. Warm 700 mb
temperatures and weak low-level winds suggest severe storms are
unlikely.
Elsewhere, widely scattered to scattered storms are possible in the
Florida Peninsula where sea breeze boundaries are likely to initiate
storms in a moist environment. Mid-level moisture near the Mogollon
Rim into parts of southern Arizona may promote isolated thunderstorm development during the afternoon.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
Zonal flow aloft will develop across the northern CONUS while
upper-level ridging will be present in the south on Wednesday.
Thunderstorms are most likely to occur in the Florida Peninsula
where daytime heating of a moist airmass and lift from sea breeze
boundaries should promote widely scattered to scattered coverage.
Weak convection could develop along the Blue Ridge, but increasing
ridging aloft through the day should keep thunderstorm potential
well below 10%. Additional very isolated activity could develop
along parts of the Mogollon Rim, but coverage should remain below
10% here as well.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A quasi-zonal upper-level jet will be present across the northern
CONUS on Thursday. Southern portions of the CONUS will experience
modest upper-level ridging. At the surface, a remnant cold front
will remain along the Gulf Coast with a secondary, stronger cold
front moving into the central Plains and parts of the Upper Midwest.
Thunderstorms are most likely to the south of the Gulf Coast
boundary. Scattered storms can be expected during the afternoon in
the Florida Peninsula. Towards Friday morning, a weak disturbance
should promote thunderstorms from southeast Louisiana into the
Florida Panhandle. An isolated storm or two is possible in northern
Missouri overnight Thursday as elevated instability develops in the
area. Very weak forcing will keep coverage below 10% should
initiation occur. Severe weather is not expected with any activity.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.
...Synopsis...
Stronger flow aloft will continue to be confined to the northern
tier of the CONUS on Friday. Two shortwave troughs will progress
through this corridor. One will move from the upper Great Lakes into
the Northeast while another will shift through the Northwest into
the northern Rockies. Ridging aloft will be maintained in the
southern two-thirds of the CONUS. A remnant surface boundary will be
situated along the Gulf Coast. Another cold front will be draped
from the Great Lakes into the central Plains.
A few thunderstorms may be ongoing early Friday morning in the
Mid-Mississippi Valley, as modest cooling aloft occurs on the
southern flank of the passing shortwave and weak warm advection
occurs with the low-level jet. Additional thunderstorms are possible
with a weak northward-moving disturbance in the central/southern
Appalachians as well as along the weak Gulf Coast boundary.
Diurnally driven storms are likely in the Florida Peninsula. Severe thunderstorms are not expected with any of this activity.

Valid 051200Z - 061200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Potential for severe storms appears low on Saturday.
...Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes...
Northern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly
eastward from the Canadian Prairies and adjacent northern High
Plains through western Ontario and the Upper Midwest on Saturday.
This shortwave is expected to mature as it progresses eastward, with
the resulting closed mid-level cyclone over northwestern Ontario by
early Sunday morning. An associated surface low will accompany this
system, moving eastward across the central portion of Canadian
Prairie Provinces and ending the period stacked beneath the
mid-level low over northwestern Ontario. Cold front attendant to
this surface low will push eastward across the northern and central
Plains through the Upper Midwest. By 12Z Sunday, this front will
likely extend from central Lower MI southwestward through central MO
before then turning more westward and extending along the OK/KS
border vicinity.
Warm-air advection will gradually increase within the warm sector
ahead of the front throughout the period. Low to mid-level
moistening from this warm-air advection coupled with cooling
mid-level temperatures will result in elevated buoyancy across the
Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes from Saturday evening into
Sunday morning. Isolated thunderstorms are possible within this
region as a result. Enhanced mid-level flow associated with the
shortwave trough will spread into the region during the evening as
well, supporting moderate to strong deep-layer vertical shear.
However, the cloud-bearing layer shear values will be more modest
(i.e. around half of the bulk shear values), and the resulting
combination of modest buoyancy and shear will likely result in
predominantly sub-severe thunderstorms.
...Gulf Coast...
Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Gulf Coast and FL
Peninsula throughout the period as low-level easterlies persist
within a very moist airmass. Limited buoyancy and weak shear should
keep the severe-thunderstorm potential low.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
OHIO INTO MUCH OF WEST VIRGINIA...WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW YORK...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday
afternoon and evening across parts of the western New York and
Pennsylvania into West Virginia.
...Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes vicinity...
A mid-latitude cyclone is forecast to begin the period over central
Ontario, with enhanced mid-level flow extending throughout the base
of this system from the Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes and
OH Valley. A pair of shortwave troughs are expected to progress
quickly eastward/northeastward within this belt of stronger flow,
helping to pull the cyclone eastward while also inducing a negative
tilt to the system. By early Sunday, upper troughing will likely
extend from the Ontario/Quebec border southeastward into the
northern Mid-Atlantic.
Primary surface low associated with this system will remain occluded
over Ontario throughout the period. However, a secondary
triple-point low will likely be over central Ontario early Sunday,
with its associated cold front extending southwestward through the
Mid MS Valley. This low is forecast to push eastward across eastern
Ontario during the day, with the cold front progressing
eastward/southeastward as well. A narrow corridor of low 60s
dewpoints is anticipated just ahead of the cold front, which is
expected to combine with cooling mid-level temperatures and foster
modest buoyancy. Initial thunderstorm development along the front is anticipated across eastern OH, where a favorable combination of
daytime heating and low-level moisture will destabilize the
pre-frontal airmass.
Moderate to strong mid-level flow will extend across the region as
well, which should allow updrafts to stay ahead of the quick-moving
cold front for at least a few hours. Cold mid-level temperatures and
moderate deep-layer vertical shear will support a hail risk with the
strongest updrafts, particularly with initial development. Bowing
line segments will contribute to a threat for damaging gusts as
well. Surface winds will likely veer ahead of the front, limiting
the low-level curvature. Even so, forecast soundings show
southwesterlies strengthening from 15 kt at the surface to 40 kt at
700 mb, which does result in enough storm-relative helicity for some
tornado potential if a discrete mode can be maintained.
...Gulf Coast into the Coastal GA and FL Peninsula...
Easterly/northeasterly low-level flow will persist for another day
across the northern Gulf of Mexico, as a broad area of low pressure
remains in place. Showers and thunderstorms are possible within the
moist airmass, but weak shear should keep storm severity low.

A shortwave trough is forecast to move across New England on Monday,

advance southeastward into the Carolinas, Georgia and central Gulf
Coast. Ahead of the front, a moist airmass will be in place with
surface dewpoints across the Florida Peninsula in the 60s and low
70s F. As surface temperatures warm during the day, weak
destabilization is expected. In response, isolated to scattered
thunderstorms will be possible in some areas across the Florida
Peninsula Monday afternoon. Instability is not expected to be strong
enough across the Florida Peninsula for a severe threat.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
An isolated tornado threat, associated with Milton, may develop
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning across the central and southern
Florida Peninsula.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Cyclonic flow aloft is forecast to persist from the Upper MS Valley
off the Northeast Coast on Tuesday, as the parent mid/upper cyclone
remains largely in place over western Quebec. Farther west,
expansive upper ridging, initially extending from the Southwest into
the Canadian Prairies, will gradually build northeastward. A weak
shortwave trough is forecast to move through the western periphery
of this ridging from central CA into the western Great Basin.
Surface pattern across much of the central and eastern CONUS will be
dominated by high pressure while seasonably warm conditions persist
across much of the western CONUS. A flash or two is possible across
the western Great Basin amid isolated high-based convection
attendant to the weak shortwave trough progressing through the
region.
Stable conditions are expected across the majority of the central
and eastern CONUS. The only exception is across FL, where a tropical
airmass will be in place ahead of Hurricane Milton. Milton is
forecast by the National Hurricane Center to be a Major Hurricane as
it moves across the central Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. Strengthening
low to mid-level winds associated with this cyclone are expected to
spread across the FL Keys by late Tuesday night and across much of
the west coast of the FL Peninsula by early Wednesday morning. Outer
rainbands associated with Milton could be moving into these areas at
the same time, resulting in a low-probability potential for a few
tornadoes.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA AND FLORIDA KEYS...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are possible across the Florida Peninsula and
Florida Keys as Hurricane Milton moves through on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A strong shortwave trough and associated cold mid-level temperatures
are forecast to progress across Ontario, the Great Lakes, and the
Northeast, moving through the base of a large cyclone centered over
western Quebec throughout much of the period. Progression of this
shortwave will induce a eastward shift to the parent cyclone, taking
it over the St. Lawrence Valley by early Thursday. To the west of
this cyclone, expansive upper ridging will extend from the Southwest
into the Canadian Prairies early Wednesday. This ridging is expected
to shift eastward into more of western Ontario and the Upper
Midwest. A weak shortwave trough will likely move within this
broader ridging over the Mid MO Valley.
A flash or two is possible within some high-based convection
near the CO/NM border as well as the TX Panhandle/western OK, but
the overall coverage is currently expected to be less than 10% in
these areas. Primary forecast concern for Wednesday is the evolution
of Hurricane Milton and attendant tornado threat.
...FL Peninsula - Hurricane Milton...
Hurricane Milton, which is currently centered about 35 miles
north-northwest of Progresso, Mexico, is forecast to continue
northeastward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico, approaching the
west-central FL coast by Wednesday evening. This system is then
expected to continue east-northeastward across the central FL
Peninsula Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Low to mid-level
flow is expected to increase across the peninsula throughout the
day, substantially elongating hodographs. Mid 70s dewpoints will
also result in modest buoyancy. Some added buoyancy is also possible
via daytime heating and cloud breaks over the central and southern
peninsula given the slower storm speed and smaller structure. While
its difficult to know the timing and structure of any convective
bands, potential exists for some of these bands to be favorably
timed with peak heating. All of these factors suggest a tornado
threat will exists within any deeper, more sustained convection.
For additional information regarding Milton, including the latest
track and additional hazards, please refer to the latest
forecasts/updates from the National Hurricane Center.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes will remain possible across the central and southern
Florida Peninsula on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A cyclone is forecast to be over ME/Canadian Maritime Provinces
early Thursday morning. Troughing associated with this cyclone will
extend southward along the East Coast, with Tropical Cyclone Milton
within the far southern periphery of this cyclonic flow. This
cyclone is expected to shift northeastward into the northern
Atlantic, with Milton ejecting quickly northeastward into the
western Atlantic as well. Stable conditions are expected across the
majority of the eastern CONUS in the wake of this cyclone,
precluding thunderstorm development. The only exception is across
the FL Peninsula in the vicinity of Milton.
Expansive upper ridging is expected to be in place from the
Southwest into the Upper MS Valley and far northwestern Ontario
Thursday morning. Northern periphery of this ridging is expected to
dampen throughout the period in response to a shortwave trough
moving through the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Additionally, a
low-amplitude shortwave trough embedded within the larger scale
ridging will likely drift southward from the central Plains into OK.
A few elevated thunderstorms are possible across
south-central/southeast KS and central OK Thursday morning amid the
modest low/mid-level moistening and cold mid-level temperatures
attendant to this shortwave.
...FL Peninsula - Hurricane Milton...
Current forecast from the National Hurricane Center has Milton
maintaining hurricane strength as it moves across the central FL
Peninsula Thursday morning. Given the expected early morning
position, wind fields will likely have veered across the central and
southern peninsula where the best low-level moisture, and associated
greatest buoyancy, will be in place. Even so ample speed shear will
support enough low-level curvature to support rotation and a
low-probability tornado risk within any deeper, more persistent
convection.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A belt of enhanced westerlies is forecast to extend from the
Canadian Prairie Province eastward across Ontario and southern
Quebec into New England throughout the day on Friday. A shortwave
trough embedded within these westerlies is forecast to progress
quickly eastward across Ontario and Quebec and adjacent portions of
the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes. An associated surface low
will move across Ontario just ahead of this shortwave, with an
attendant cold front pushing southeastward across the
northern/central Plains, the Upper/Mid MS Valley, and the Upper
Great Lakes. Scant low-level moisture is expected ahead of this low,
limiting the thunderstorm potential along most of the front. Some
modest buoyancy may develop across the Upper Great Lakes region
where low to mid-level moisture is expected to increase amid cooling
mid-level temperatures. This may result in deep enough updrafts for
a few lightning flashes between 18Z and 00Z.
Farther south, a low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to drift southeastward from OK into the Lower MS Valley. Cold mid-level
temperatures will accompany this shortwave, and lingering warm-air
advection showers and thunderstorms may result in a few lightning
flashes across eastern OK and northeast TX Friday morning.
Lastly, upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints are expected to persist
across central and southern FL throughout the period. Some showers
are likely throughout the day amid confluent low-level northeasterly
flow. However, warm temperatures aloft will limit storm depth
throughout much of the period across the region. The environment
across south FL is expected to become more conducive to deep
convection late Friday night/early Saturday morning as mid-level
temperature cool slightly and low-level flow trends more
southeasterly. Consequently, a few flashes are possible across south
FL and/or the Keys after 00Z.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
CORRECTED FOR TYPO IN SYNOPSIS
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Saturday through Saturday night.
...Synopsis...
Strong cyclogenesis appears underway near the Aleutians and, by
early Saturday, models indicate that a broad, deep cyclone will
become centered across the northeastern Pacific/Gulf of Alaska, to
the east of the Aleutians. This is forecast to lead to amplifying
flow across the northern mid-latitudes of North America, including
building mid-level ridging to the east of the Canadian Rockies and
digging downstream mid-level troughing across the eastern Canadian
Prairies into the Upper Midwest by the end of the period.
In lower latitudes, a modest mid-level trough likely will be forced
inland across the Oregon/northern California coast, suppressing
initial mid-level ridging across the Great Basin into southern
Rockies. Downstream, in the wake of the weakening remnants of
Milton, forecast to continue migrating east-northeastward through
the subtropical Atlantic, a remnant weak frontal zone, initially
near or just south of the Florida Keys, is forecast to weaken
further. It appears that this will occur beneath generally steady
or slowly rising mid-level heights, as a sheared mid-level
perturbation shifts across and offshore of northern Florida.
Seasonably moist air will generally remain confined to the south of
the weakening frontal zone, but some low-level moistening is
forecast along an initially quasi-stationary segment of a frontal
zone, to the north of the lower Missouri and Ohio Valleys by early
Saturday.
...Portions of the Midwest into upper Ohio Valley...
Models suggest that weak forcing for ascent and warm mid-levels will
suppress thunderstorm development along and south of the initially quasi-stationary frontal zone. However, downstream of the southern
periphery of the digging mid-level troughing, weak destabilization
rooted within lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection may contribute
to thunderstorm development within a narrow corridor above the
frontal zone/well to the north of the surface front, mainly Saturday
night. Given the generally weak forecast instability and
cloud-bearing layer shear, the potential for severe hail in stronger
storms seems low.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF WEST VIRGINIA...PARTS OF
EASTERN KENTUCKY...SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN OHIO...SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEASTERN TENNESSEE...
...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms may develop in a corridor across West Virginia,
and perhaps into portions of eastern Kentucky and southwestern
Virginia, late Sunday afternoon and evening. Some may be
accompanied by small to marginally severe hail and potentially
damaging wind gusts.
...Synopsis...
Mid/upper flow across the northern mid-latitudes of the Pacific into
North America will remain amplified through this period, with
further amplification of large-scale troughing forecast across the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley. Models indicate
at least of couple of vigorous short wave perturbations digging
within this troughing, one of which may contribute to modest surface cyclogenesis along a frontal zone across the Ohio Valley into the
Northeast by late Sunday night.
In lower latitudes, a residual mid-level shear axis across the
central Gulf of Mexico and Florida Peninsula will generally
demarcate the northern periphery of higher moisture content air.
However, a continued gradual moistening of the boundary layer ahead
of the interior U.S. front may contribute to a corridor of modest destabilization across parts of the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys into the
western slopes of the Appalachians by late Sunday afternoon.
...West Virginia into eastern Kentucky/southwest Virginia...
There remains variability among the models concerning the evolution
of surface cyclogenesis across the Ohio Valley into the Northeast
Sunday through Sunday night. However, there still appears a general
consensus that a moistening, but well-mixed, boundary layer will
become characterized by CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg by late
Sunday afternoon, within at least a narrow pre-frontal corridor
across Tennessee/Kentucky into West Virginia. It appears that peak destabilization will coincide with strengthening westerly deep-layer
wind fields, including to 50+ kt in the 700-500 mb layer. Forcing
for ascent in advance of stronger mid-level height falls, which may
not begin overspreading the region until after dark, remains more
unclear. However, a developing pre-frontal low-level upslope flow
component may aid thunderstorm initiation across parts of West
Virginia, and perhaps into eastern Kentucky and southwestern
Virginia by early Sunday evening. If this occurs, the environment
probably will be conducive to a few stronger storms posing a risk
for hail and potentially damaging wind gusts.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
U.S. Monday through Monday night.
...Synopsis...
Latest model output indicates little change from prior runs for this
period, with the mid-latitude westerlies forecast to remain modestly
amplified but generally progressive Monday through Monday night.
Within this regime, it appears that initially more prominent ridging
over the Canadian Prairies will begin to break down. As the ridge
axis takes on a more notable positive tilt (toward Hudson Bay), the
axis of large-scale downstream troughing will gradually do the same
across the eastern U.S. into the Canadian Maritimes.
Within the cyclonic flow, a significant lead short wave impulse
remains forecast to be accompanied by strengthening
lower/mid-tropospheric cyclogenesis near the north Atlantic Seaboard
into the Canadian Maritimes/St. Lawrence Valley. As a similar
trailing perturbation digs across the international border and Upper
Midwest, toward the lower Missouri and Ohio Valleys, cool surface
ridging is forecast to build southward into much of the interior
U.S. by the end of the period.
It appears that the leading edge of the cold intrusion will advance
through the south Atlantic and Gulf Coast states, well south of the
mid-level cold core (shifting across the upper Great Lakes) and
upper support for large-scale ascent, with little appreciable risk
for thunderstorms. As flow trends cyclonic across the Gulf of
Mexico into subtropical Atlantic, an embedded residual mid-level
shear axis, demarcating the northern periphery of a remnant plume of
tropical moisture, likely will gradually shift southeast of the
southern Florida Peninsula and Keys.
Across the West, large-scale mid-level ridging may continue to
develop inland of the Pacific coast through the Rockies. However, a
weakening low initially over the Great Basin may generally be
maintained while slowly digging southeastward, to the west and
southwest of the Four Corners region. Mid/upper forcing for ascent
and cooling to the northeast of this feature may contribute to
sufficient destabilization to support convection capable of
producing lightning across the higher terrain of Utah/adjacent
northern Arizona into eastern Colorado Monday afternoon and evening.

Latest model output is not much different from prior runs for this
period. Large-scale mid-level troughing appears likely to continue
to gradually amplify across the eastern U.S., as a significant
embedded short wave perturbation digs southeast of the lower
Missouri and Ohio Valleys. Peak amplitude may be reached along a
positively tilted axis near the Atlantic Seaboard around or after
12Z Wednesday.
In association with this regime, expanding cold surface ridging is
forecast to encompass much of the interior U.S. into northern Gulf
of Mexico and south Atlantic seaboard, with its center shifting from
the northern Great Plains Red River Valley through the central Great Plains/lower Missouri Valley by late Tuesday night, in the wake of
the short wave.
To the west, a lead short wave impulse, within larger scale
troughing on the leading edge of a somewhat more progressive regime
emerging from the mid-latitude Pacific, may reach the British
Columbia coast and Pacific Northwest vicinity by late Tuesday night.
With its approach, modest surface cyclogenesis may commence to the
immediate lee of the Canadian and northern U.S. Rockies.
Deep-layered moisture, characterized by high precipitable water in
excess of 2 inches, is forecast to generally remain confined to
portions of the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and near/south of the
Florida Keys Tuesday through Tuesday night. While some elevated
moisture return is possible across the northwestern Gulf coast into
parts of the southern Great Plains, generally stable conditions are
expected to prevail across much of the nation to the east of the
Rockies.
One possible exception may persist beneath the mid-level cold core
(including 500 mb temperatures below -30C) shifting southeast of the
upper Great Lakes region into the Ohio Valley during the day.
Beneath this regime, boundary-layer warming may contribute to
diurnal convective development which might become capable of
producing occasional lightning.
While generally stable conditions persist across much of the West,
modest moistening, beneath a remnant pocket of relatively cool air
aloft and large-scale ascent across the Four Corners region, might
also support scattered weak thunderstorm activity Tuesday afternoon
and evening.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered weak thunderstorm activity is possible across the Pacific
Northwest into portions of the Great Basin and Rockies Wednesday
afternoon into evening. Additional thunderstorm development is
possible across Deep South Texas and near or south of the Florida
Keys.
...Discussion...
Models indicate that flow will remain generally progressive across
the mid-latitude Pacific into western North America through this
period, and large-scale mid-level troughing appears likely to
continue developing inland of the Pacific coast through much of the Intermountain West, Rockies and northern Great Plains. Within this
regime, one significant short wave impulse is forecast to progress
inland of the British Columbia coast and across the Canadian Rockies
by late Wednesday night, while a similar trailing impulse digs into
the northern Pacific coast. A remnant perturbation already inland
to the southwest of the Four Corners region is forecast to become
absorbed within the evolving larger-scale cyclonic flow across the Wyoming/Colorado Rockies, after being forced northeastward.
Downstream, developments remain somewhat more unclear near the
Atlantic Seaboard, as a mid-level ridge becomes increasing prominent
over the subtropical Atlantic. Initially amplified large-scale
troughing along a positively tilted axis across the Atlantic
Seaboard still appears likely to reach peak amplitude near or just
before 12Z Wednesday, but guidance now appears to be trending a bit
less progressive with a short wave perturbation emerging from the
base of the troughing. It appears that this feature may contribute
to the evolution of a modest mid-level low just offshore of the Mid
Atlantic coast, while a trailing perturbation digs across the
eastern Gulf Coast region. However, associated surface wave
development is still forecast to remain along a frontal zone well
east of the Mid Atlantic coast.
As the evolving upper pattern supports deepening surface troughing
to the east of the Canadian/northern U.S. Rockies, the center of
initially expansive cold surface ridging to the east of the Rockies
is forecast to shift from the central Great Plains/lower Missouri
Valley to the lower Ohio/Tennessee Valleys vicinity. However, the
ridge likely will maintain a considerable stabilizing influence
across much of the Gulf Coast region and northwestern Gulf of
Mexico. Inland of the lower Rio Grande Valley, low-level moistening
is forecast to remain limited, and generally elevated to the east of
the higher terrain of southwestern Texas into New Mexico.
...Florida Keys and Deep South Texas vicinities...
While the front over the western Atlantic tends to slowly advance
away from much of the Atlantic Seaboard, its trailing flank is
forecast to stall near or southeast of the Florida Keys, and weaken
across the south central Gulf of Mexico through lower Texas
coast/Rio Grande vicinity. Seasonably high boundary-layer moisture
content along this zone could support moderately large CAPE and
widely scattered thunderstorm activity.
...Pacific Northwest into eastern Great Basin/adjacent Rockies...
Despite limited moisture availability, mid/upper forcing for
ascent, cooling aloft and orography may contribute to scattered weak thunderstorm activity Wednesday afternoon and evening.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Thursday through Thursday night.
...Discussion...
Models indicate that mid/upper flow will become increasingly split
across western North America during this period, as initially
consolidated large-scale troughing progresses inland. One notable
embedded short wave trough is forecast to continue pivoting across
and north/northeast of the Canadian Prairies, while a similar
trailing perturbation digs inland of the northern Pacific coast,
through areas near/east of the Sierra Nevada into the southern Great Basin/lower Colorado Valley by 12Z Friday.
To the east of the Rockies, the primary and secondary surface
cyclogenesis likely will accompany the lead impulse into the higher
latitudes of interior Canada. The trailing cold front may surge
east of the Canadian Prairies through much of northwestern Ontario
by late Thursday night, while stalling northwest of the upper Great
Lakes region through the northern Great Plains Red River Valley, the
Black Hills vicinity, and the higher terrain of southern
Wyoming/northern Colorado into the southern Great Basin.
Downstream, beneath building mid-level ridging to the west of
confluent mid-level troughing east of the Appalachians into the
western Atlantic, the center of expansive cold surface ridging is
forecast to be maintained over the Ohio Valley/central Appalachians
vicinity. This ridging appears likely to maintain a considerable
stabilizing influence as far south as the northern Gulf of Mexico
and Gulf coast vicinity.
...Pacific coast into Great Plains...
It still appears that relatively warm layers aloft, and the lack of
sufficient low-level moisture return, will preclude an appreciable
risk for thunderstorm activity near the lingering modestly deep
surface troughing/cold front across the northern Great Plains into
Front Range vicinity. However, large-scale forcing for ascent and
cooling aloft, spreading across the Pacific Northwest into the Great
Basin and Rockies Thursday through Thursday night, probably will
contribute to sufficient destabilization to support scattered areas
of weak thunderstorm activity.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT
ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO...
...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms are possible Friday night across parts of
eastern New Mexico near the Sangre de Cristo and Sacramento
Mountains. Some may pose a risk for small to marginally severe hail,
locally damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado.
...Synopsis...
Models continue to indicate that a vigorous short wave impulse
splitting off the stronger mid-latitude westerlies will continue
digging across the southern Great Basin into the Southwest during
this period. This appears likely to be accompanied by notable lower/mid-tropospheric cyclogenesis near/southwest of the Wasatch
into the Colorado Plateau to the southwest of the Four Corners by
late Friday night, as low-amplitude ridging within the stronger
westerlies begins to shift inland of the British Columbia and
Pacific Northwest coast.
To the east, mid-level ridging, initially building across the upper
Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes region, likely will be maintained,
with downstream confluent mid-level troughing and an embedded low
only slowly continuing to progress offshore of the Mid Atlantic
coast. Beneath this regime, models indicate that cold surface
ridging centered near the Appalachians will maintain a stabilizing
influence as far south and west as the northwestern Gulf Coast
region.
Around the western periphery of this surface ridging, modest
moisture return of Gulf origins will gradually return northward from northeastern Mexico into surface troughing to the lee of the
southern Rockies.
...Southern Rockies and adjacent Great Plains...
It still appears that moisture return to the vicinity of weakening
surface troughing, from the Front Range northeastward into the
central Great Plains, may not support more than very weak
boundary-layer destabilization with limited convective potential
late Friday afternoon and evening. Farther south, from the western Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle area southward through the Texas/New Mexico
border vicinity, warm layers aloft and weak boundary-destabilization
may also tend to minimize the risk for severe storms.
In response to modest surface pressure falls to the immediate lee of
the Sangre de Cristo and Sacramento Mountains by early Friday
evening, increasing low-level moisture return into the eastern
slopes of the higher terrain is forecast to contribute to increasing boundary-layer destabilization. Coupled with steepening mid-level
lapse rates associated with strengthening mid/upper forcing for
ascent and cooling aloft, the environment (including CAPE increasing
up to 500 J/kg) may become increasingly conducive to intensifying
thunderstorm development by late Friday evening. Shear profiles
probably will become supportive of supercell structures with
potential to produce marginally severe hail and locally strong
surface gusts. The 17/00Z NAM forecast soundings and hodographs
around Las Vegas NM, in particular, appear potentially supportive of
a tornado around 06Z Friday night.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across the southern High
Plains Saturday into Saturday night. Large hail will be the primary
threat, though isolated severe winds and a tornado may also occur
with the strongest storms.
...Synopsis...
The upper-level trough within the lower Colorado River Valley will
become a closed low in the Southwest and become nearly stationary
just south of the Four Corners on Saturday. Mid-level winds
associated with this feature are expected to weaken some as compared
to Friday, though some intensification may occur as the trough
becomes more progressive by early Sunday morning. At the surface,
modest return flow of generally poor-quality low-level moisture will
continue into the southern High Plains as a surface trough is
maintained from eastern Colorado into eastern New Mexico. Nebulous
ascent from the upper-level low as well as low-level warm advection
should promote some showers/thunderstorms early in the period,
especially in New Mexico.
...Central/eastern New Mexico into western Texas...
Southeasterly return flow around the surface high in the Ohio Valley
will maintain mid to upper 50s F dewpoints in the southern High
Plains. Forcing from the upper low and a Pacific cold front will
promote late-afternoon thunderstorm development from central to
eastern New Mexico. Ongoing precipitation early in the period gives
some uncertainty as to how much surface-based destabilization will
occur. MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg appears possible where greater
heating occurs with closer to 500 J/kg elsewhere. However, there
appears a slightly more favorable zone for heating from the Davis
Mountains into east-central New Mexico. Deep-layer shear will be
favorable for supercells, and mid-level lapse rates will remain
steep enough to support some threat for large hail even if some
storms remain slightly elevated. Isolated strong to severe gusts
could occur with the most organized supercells. Low-level shear will
increase after 00Z, but a simultaneous increase in low-level
stability is also expected. Even so, a narrow window exists for a
tornado or two should a mature supercell persist into the early
evening. Given a slightly slower eastward progression of the upper
low in recent guidance, a small westward shift in severe
probabilities was made.
Some guidance shows convection developing within the Davis
Mountains. Given the weak synoptic lift and potential for low-level
clouds and stable conditions to the east, it is not clear if storms
will develop or for how long they can persist eastward into
marginally greater moisture. A conditional threat for severe hail
would exist if a storm or two can develop and mature in the
Trans-Pecos region.

No severe thunderstorms are forecast on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will be absorbed into the broader westerlies on
Tuesday as it traverses from the Midwest to the Upper Great Lakes.
Some remnant convection is expected to be ongoing Tuesday morning in
the vicinity of this trough across Missouri, but this convection
should weaken by mid-day as it moves into drier air.
Ridging will start to build in the western CONUS with an extended
moderately strong jet-stream from the Oregon/California border to
the Upper Midwest. At the surface, a strong cold front will traverse
the northern Plains during the day. Some showers and thunderstorms
are expected along this frontal boundary, as temperatures cool aloft
and forcing increases ahead of an amplifying mid-level trough
approaching the area from the southern Canadian Prairie Provinces.
Instability will be limited, but may be sufficient for some
lightning flashes.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
No severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A strong shortwave trough is forecast to extend from southern Hudson
Bay through the Upper Great Lakes and Upper Midwest early Wednesday
morning. This shortwave is expected to make steady eastward progress
throughout the day, traversing across Ontario and Quebec as well as
the Great Lakes and Northeast states. A cold front will accompany
this system, moving just ahead of the upper trough. Current
expectation is that this front will progress across the Northeast
from 21Z through 03Z. Low-level moisture preceding this front across
the Northeast will be modest (i.e. upper 40s/low 50s dewpoints),
limiting buoyancy and likely keeping most of the convection along
and ahead of the front shallow. A few deeper cores could result in
isolated lightning flashes. Additionally, robust low to mid-level
westerly flow could result in a few stronger, convectively augmented
gusts within the deeper cores in the strongly forced convective
line.
Currently, minimal buoyancy and shallow nature to the convection
along and ahead of the front is expected to limit the coverage of
any damaging gusts. However, if greater instability and more robust
convection can develop, some damaging wind gusts could be possible
with this strongly forced convection. Trends within the guidance
will be monitored closely to determine if low severe probabilities
will be needed in later outlooks.
Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the Red River into eastern
Oklahoma and western Arkansas where the tail end of the cold front
will move into an airmass with weak to moderate instability during
the afternoon/evening. However, a relatively thin instability
profile and weak shear should mitigate any severe weather threat.

SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHEAST KANSAS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND
MUCH OF IOWA...
...SUMMARY...
A few storms may produce hail on Thursday from far northeast Kansas
and southeast Nebraska across northern Missouri and into much of
Iowa.
...Synopsis...
On Thursday, a progressive upper trough will move from the central
and northern Rockies into the Plains, as upper ridging develops from
the OH Valley into the Northeast. Surface high pressure will be in
place over much of the East in the wake of the previous days cold
front, providing generally stable conditions.
Lee troughing and an associated cold front associated with the
mid-level trough will traverse the central Plains Thursday afternoon
and move into portions of the Midwest by the evening. Some low-level
moisture will advect northward ahead of the cold front, but will mix
out as it does with only minimal surface-based instability expected.
A few storms may develop during the afternoon along this front, but
will likely struggle to be severe due to the limited instability.
Once the 1 to 2 km layer starts to moisten after 00Z in response to
a strengthening low-level jet and mid-level temperatures start to
cool, more substantial elevated instability is expected. Sufficient
forcing due to isentropic ascent and dCVA will support some elevated
convection during the evening and into the early overnight hours.
Moderate instability and 30 to 35 knots of effective shear may
support a few supercells capable of large hail.

An upper ridge will sharpen over the Rockies on Saturday as a large
upper trough over the Great Lakes shifts east, and another upper
trough spreads into the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin. High
pressure will be prominent from the Plains into the Midwest, and
over much of the intermountain west during the day.
In the wake of the northeastern trough, a weak front is forecast to
extend roughly from the TN Valley into TX, with an area of 60s F
dewpoints extending northward toward the ArkLaTex. While lift will
be weak, heating within the moist plume will result in an uncapped
air mass, and a few daytime thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.
Severe weather is unlikely as shear will be weak, and midlevel lapse
rates poor.
Elsewhere, increasing large-scale ascent across the Pacific
Northwest with substantial cooling aloft will occur overnight, with
low-topped convection primarily offshore.

A broad mid-level trough will amplify across the western and central

forcing for ascent, will promote isolated to potentially scattered
thunderstorm development near the shoreline of the Pacific
Northwest, and across the Four Corners region. Meanwhile, low-level
warm-air advection will transpire across the Great Lakes Monday
evening into the overnight as the terminus of a pronounced low-level
jet overspreads the region. Here, low-level convergence will foster
the potential for at least isolated thunderstorm development.
Finally, isolated thunderstorms may develop just off the coast of
the Carolinas as richer low-level moisture meanders along the
Atlantic Coastline. However, thunderstorms should remain far enough
offshore to preclude thunderstorm highlights this outlook.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MID MISSOURI AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms, with hail and strong wind gusts, are
expected Tuesday night from the mid Missouri and upper Mississippi
Valley south-southwestern into northern sections of the southern
Plains.
...Southern and Central Plains/Mid Missouri and Upper Mississippi
Valleys...
An upper-level trough will move across the Desert Southwest on
Tuesday, as an associated mid-level jet translates through the
eastern part of the system into the central Plains. At the surface,
a cold front will advance southeastward across the northern Plains
as a low deepens in southwestern Nebraska. As low-level flow and
convergence increase along the front during the evening, convective
initiation appears likely. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to
develop from the central Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley
within the mid to late evening, where instability should be
sufficient for isolated severe storms. Thunderstorm coverage is
expected to gradually increase in the overnight period, with
additional storms developing over northern parts of the southern
Plains.
The latest ECMWF model forecast suggests that the most favorable
area for severe thunderstorm development will be in the mid Missouri
Valley during the late evening on Tuesday. NAM forecast soundings
near and to the north of Omaha at 06Z/Wednesday show a capping
inversion above 850 mb, with MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg, effective
shear of 45 to 50 knots, and 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7 C/km.
This environment would support supercells with isolated large hail.
Storms that develop to the east of the boundary will likely be
elevated with hail as the primary threat. Storms that form near the
front will have more of chance to be surface-based. Any intense cell
that can become surface or nearly surface-based could produce
isolated severe wind gusts. As storm coverage increases overnight, a
marginal severe threat should be maintained due to the strengthening
low-level flow, with the severe threat areal coverage expanding south-southwestward with time. The late convective initiation and
lack of instability are the main limiting factors preventing an
outlook upgrade at this time.

much of the pre-frontal airmass. Convective initiation is expected
to occur early in the period across the central Plains extending
northeastward into the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. An isolated
severe threat will be likely as cells increase in coverage during
the late morning and early afternoon. MCS development is expected to
take place by afternoon, with a relatively large convective cluster
or line gradually moving eastward across eastern and southern Kansas
extending southward into Oklahoma. Strong low-level flow,
large-scale ascent associated with the upper-level trough, rich
low-level moisture and moderate deep-layer shear will be favorable
for a severe threat Wednesday afternoon and evening.
The strongest instability is forecast to develop across southern
Kansas and northwest Oklahoma by Wednesday afternoon. In this area,
NAM forecast soundings increase MLCAPE to around 1500 J/kg by 21Z,
with 0-3 km lapse rates peaking in the 7 to 7.5 C/km range. 0-6 km
shear is forecast to be between 50 and 60 knots, with 0-3 km
storm-relative helicity peaking in the 200 to 300 m2/s2 range. This
environment appears likely to support supercells with large hail and
severe wind gusts. An isolated tornado threat will also be possible
with rotating storms that remain discrete. As the MCS increases in
size during the afternoon, a mixed mode is expected with supercells
and organized multicells. Some models, like the ECMWF, suggest the
convection will line out in the central Plains. This would favor a
wind-damage threat along the leading edge of the line. The most
favorable threat for severe storms would be with rotating storms
embedded in the line, and with discrete cells ahead of the line.
Further south into Oklahoma, cells are forecast to be primarily
discrete suggesting that a severe threat with large hail and severe
wind gusts will be likely. A tornado threat could also develop
southward into Oklahoma during the late afternoon and early evening.
The severe threat should eventually impact parts of north Texas. A
severe threat is expected to persist into the late evening, and
perhaps into the early overnight period, as the MCS moves through
the lower Missouri Valley and Ozarks.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER
TO MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms, associated with isolated severe wind gusts, will be
possible Thursday afternoon along a narrow corridor from the Sabine
River Valley north-northeastward into far southern Lower Michigan.
...Sabine River Valley/Lower to Mid Mississippi Valley/Lower Ohio Valley/Southern Great Lakes...
A negatively-tilted upper-level trough, and an associated 70 to 80
knot mid-level speed max, will move northeastward into the Great
Lakes on Thursday. At the surface, a cold front will advance
eastward into the Ark-La-Tex and mid Mississippi Valley. Ahead of
the front, surface dewpoints in the 60s F will contribute to weak destabilization in most areas by midday. Convection is expected to
initiate along and ahead the front during the late morning as
surface temperatures warm. Thunderstorms should gradually increase
in coverage in the afternoon, moving eastward across the lower to
mid Mississippi Valley, and lower Ohio Valley.
Model solutions appear to present two scenarios. The first solution,
which is depicted by the NAM, initiates convection near the front
around midday from east-central Texas north-northeastward into the
mid Mississippi Valley, with a second north-to-south band of storms
developing much further east in the lower Mississippi Valley. The
second solution, which is depicted by the ECMWF, focuses most of the
convection further east near the center of the low-level moisture
corridor in the lower to mid Mississippi Valley. Strong outflow from
the previous night's convection is forecast to surge southeastward
across much of central and east Texas Thursday morning, which could
favor the second scenario, with an effective frontal boundary much
further east.
The severe threat should be concentrated along and near the axis of
the strongest low-level flow, which is forecast to be in the lower
to mid Mississippi Valley, and lower Ohio Valley. Forecast soundings
near the moist axis in the afternoon have MLCAPE peaking from around
500 J/kg in the lower Ohio Valley to 1500 J/kg in the lower
Mississippi Valley. Moderate deep-layer shear is forecast along much
of the moist axis, where low-level lapse rates could peak near 7
C/km in areas that heat up the most. This environment will likely
support an isolated wind-damage threat during the afternoon, with
the stronger and more organized multicells. A marginal tornado
threat may also develop, mainly from western Tennessee
south-southwestward into northern Louisiana, where the combination
of instability and shear is forecast to be maximized, in conjunction
with steep low-level lapse rates.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN SOUTHWESTWARD TO NORTHEASTERN TEXAS/NORTHERN
LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
Locally strong storms -- a couple of which may produce marginally
severe gusts -- will be possible Thursday morning and afternoon,
from the Midwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana.
...Synopsis...
A progressing short-wave trough initially forecast over the Middle
Missouri Valley area is expected to move quickly northeastward
toward/across the Great Lakes region through the first half of the
period, and then into Ontario/Quebec overnight. At the surface, an
associated cold front will move eastward across the Great Lakes and
Ohio Valley areas, while moving more slowly southeastward across the
Lower Mississippi Valley and southern Plains. By the end of the
period, the boundary should extend from the Northeast to the Texas
Coast.
...Southern Lower Michigan southwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana...
Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing near and ahead of an
advancing cold front -- which is initially forecast to lie from the
southern Wisconsin vicinity southwestward to central Texas. With
the associated upper system forecast to be ejecting quickly
northeastward into/across the Upper Great Lakes region, decreasing
ascent and weakening flow aloft is expected with time from roughly
the Ohio Valley southward. Meanwhile, weak instability north of the
Ohio Valley will be an overall limiting factor, despite more
favorable kinematics.
Overall, it appears that Level 1/MRGL risk remains appropriate, to
cover the potential for a few stronger storms/line segments to
produce strong/gusty winds that may locally reach severe levels.
Risk should be greatest during the morning and afternoon hours,
after which decreasing convective intensity and attendant severe
potential is expected.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE PERMIAN
BASIN AND SOUTH PLAINS OF WEST TX...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms are possible on Saturday into Saturday night
across parts of the southern Great Plains. The most likely corridor
for a couple tornadoes and large hail is across a part of the
Permian Basin and South Plains of west Texas during the late
afternoon and early evening.
...Southern Great Plains...
Widespread convection will be ongoing at 12Z Saturday over the
southern High Plains, centered on southeast NM to the Panhandles,
within a robust low-level warm theta-e advection regime. A
semi-organized linear cluster may be present along the southern edge
of the convective swath, and could be maintained through the diurnal
heating cycle. Low to mid-level lapse rates downstream will be weak,
suggesting localized strong gusts early.
A mesoscale corridor of sustained supercell potential is evident
over parts of the Permian Basin and South Plains from mid-afternoon
to early evening. Regenerative convective development is expected in
the wake of morning activity, along the effective outflow-reinforced
baroclinic zone arcing to the west-southwest. Best potential for
boundary-layer heating will be across the TX Trans-Pecos. Downstream
of a full-latitude trough from the Canadian Rockies to the northern
Gulf of CA, a strengthening upper jet over northern Mexico should
overspread the Trans-Pecos late day. This will yield favorable mid
to upper-level hodograph elongation with southwesterly speed shear
immediately downstream. A couple longer-lived supercells may develop
and move along the mesoscale outflow boundary, with a threat for
golf- to tennis-ball-sized hail, despite moderate mid-level lapse
rates. With an early evening increase in the low-level jet, a couple
tornadoes may develop as well.
Mid-level lapse rates will be weaker with a more moist-adiabatic
profile extending northeastward into OK. Still, with the evening
increase in the low-level jet, potential will exist for low-level
rotation with embedded convection along the baroclinic zone. While
convective mode will be messy, and uncertainty exists with the
spatial placement of the corridor in the wake of daytime convection,
the persistent influx of mid 60s surface dew points suggests a
low-probability tornado/wind threat may extend into Saturday night.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE PERMIAN
BASIN VICINITY EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms are expected Saturday and Saturday night
across parts of the southern Great Plains. The most likely corridor
for a couple tornadoes and large hail is across parts of the Permian
Basin and South Plains of Texas during the late afternoon and early
evening.
...Synopsis...
Digging/intensification -- and gradual/steady progression -- of the
western U.S. upper trough is expected Saturday. As this system
shifts from the West Coast states across the Great Basin and into
the Desert Southwest, substantial downstream mid-level height falls
will occur across the central and southern Plains.
At the surface, a remnant baroclinic zone -- extending from Texas
eastward across the Southeast -- will mark the northern extent of
the moist Gulf low-level airmass. This boundary -- in response to
persistent southeasterly low-level flow -- should tend to retreat
northwestward across Texas/Oklahoma, though likely to become impeded
by convective outflow. The result will likely become a convectively
reinforced boundary extending from the Permian Basin vicinity east-northeastward into Oklahoma, which will focus persistent,
regenerative convection and some attendant severe risk through the
period.
...Transpecos region and southeastern New Mexico northeastward into
central and northern Oklahoma...
Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the start of
the period from southeastern New Mexico northeastward into southern
Kansas, with potentially some local/low-end severe risk on the
southern fringe of this convection. South of the convection, some heating/destabilization is expected -- particularly across the Transpecos/Permian Basin region. Here, an afternoon increase in
convection -- likely in the form of supercells -- is expected to
occur. Here, large hail will be possible, along with potential for
locally damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes.
Into the evening, convection should increase in coverage -- likely
evolving into multiple linear bands, as a low-level jet increases.
Though instability should remain lesser with northeastward extent
into Oklahoma, owing to relatively weak lapse rates, multiple rounds
of banded convection should be accompanied by risk for locally
strong wind gusts, along with marginal hail and potentially a
tornado or two. This potential should persist well into the
overnight hours.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF OK TO
THE TX BIG COUNTRY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms are possible in multiple rounds from midday
Sunday through Sunday night. The most likely area affected includes
parts of Oklahoma into north and west-central Texas. Tornadoes,
damaging winds, and large hail may occur.
...Synopsis...
A full-latitude mid/upper trough will gradually progress east onto
the Prairie Provinces and across the Desert Southwest/northwest
Mexico. Multiple upper jet streaks are consistently progged ahead of
the trough over the Great Plains. Mid-level southwesterlies will
also strengthen, but the fastest flow will remain on the backside of
the trough through Sunday afternoon. This jetlet will progress into
the base of the trough on Sunday night, coincident with a vigorous
shortwave impulse. Initial surface cyclogenesis will occur over the
central High Plains and track into MN/IA by 12Z Monday. Additional
cyclogenesis will occur Sunday night across the Pecos Valley into
western north TX.
...Central to southern Great Plains...
A complex setup remains evident during the D2 period with multiple
rounds of severe potential anticipated.
A decaying MCS should be ongoing across parts of the Ozarks
southwestward into north TX, with outflow reinforcing a baroclinic
zone across the Red River region. Guidance is highly consistent in
suggesting the next round of west TX convection developing by late
morning. This activity should intensify and increase in coverage
midday through the afternoon as it tracks along the baroclinic zone
that amplifies with differential surface heating. CAMs consistently
indicate quick upscale growth to an organized linear cluster, with
embedded supercell structures amid strong mid/upper southwesterlies.
Low-level shear will initially be modest, and does not appear to be
favorably timed with the relatively early upscale growth. Still,
this potential MCS will eventually impinge on greater low-level SRH
as it tracks towards and east of the I-35 corridor, yielding some
embedded tornado risk. A final round of strong to severe convection
should develop overnight across west TX as forcing for ascent
increases again ahead of the aforementioned wave. Across these
multiple rounds, a mixed/all-hazards threat will be possible.
A separate area of low-level warm advection-driven convection may
develop across the northeast TX vicinity during the afternoon. Weak
mid-level lapse rates and convection along the instability gradient
will probably temper the overall threat. But adequate low-level SRH
will exist for a low-probability, all-hazards threat.
Convective development along the dryline near the central High
Plains cyclone in western KS is uncertain. The deleterious effects
of persistent OK/north TX convection should yield a rather confined
and limited MLCAPE plume in KS. Conditionally, the environment will
be favorable for discrete supercells with highly elongated mid/upper
hodographs and steep mid-level lapse rates. A sustained supercell or
two might become established in the 00-03Z time frame. Otherwise,
some later evening elevated hail risk may occur downstream into NE
and north KS.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SABINE TO
LOWER MS VALLEYS AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WI...
...SUMMARY...
A brief tornado or two and locally damaging winds may occur on
Tuesday across a portion of the Sabine to Lower Mississippi Valleys,
and central to southern Wisconsin.
...Gulf Coast States...
Lingering convection on Tuesday morning should be confined along a
slowing cold front in the TX Gulf Coast to the Sabine Valley. Some
of this activity might produce small hail along the TX Gulf Coast
portion where the surface front will likely shift off the coast by
mid-morning. Farther northeast, adequate low-level shear should be
maintained through at least midday, yielding potential for rotating
convection. But mid-level lapse rates will remain weak, and
large-scale ascent will be pulling away from the region through the
day. Some convective redevelopment is possible along the
front/residual outflows midday into the afternoon. Locally strong
gusts and a brief tornado will be possible during the first half of
the period. Low to deep-layer shear magnitudes are expected to
diminish from south to north during the evening.
Across the FL Keys, based on latest NHC track/intensity forecast for
PTC 18 along with 00Z guidance, tornado potential is expected to
remain negligible through 12Z Wednesday.
...Central/southern WI...
A conditional, low-probability setup from low-topped convection is
evident from about midday to mid-afternoon Tuesday. A deep surface
cyclone around 995 mb should track northeast from IA to central WI.
Some models suggest a mesoscale-focused corridor of modest diabatic
surface heating may overlap the northwest periphery of mid to upper
50s dew points. This could yield scant surface-based buoyancy
immediately ahead of the cyclone. However, this heating may occur
once low-level winds begin to veer, yielding low confidence in
whether enlarged hodographs will overlap the meager instability.
Still, with most 00Z CAMs indicating discrete convection,
low-probability tornado/wind highlights appear warranted.

...SUMMARY...
A few brief tornadoes will be possible within outer bands of
Tropical Cyclone Rafael, from late morning into the evening
Wednesday across the Keys and the far southern Peninsula of Florida.
...Keys/southern Peninsula of FL...
Latest NHC forecast has Tropical Storm Rafael intensifying to a
hurricane by 12Z Wednesday and moving across western Cuba into the
eastern Gulf through early Thursday. Most 00Z guidance has trended
farther northeast with the attendant belt of stronger low-level flow
relative to 24 hours ago. As such, near-easterly surface winds
veering to south-southeasterlies will yield hodograph enlargement.
This increase should be favorably timed to the diurnal heating
cycle, with peak low-level SRH anticipated during afternoon. Amid
increasingly rich mean-mixing ratios of 17-18 g/kg, deeper outer
band cells will likely rotate across the FL Straits and progress
west-northwest across the Keys and adjacent peninsula. At least a
few waterspouts appear probable and these may move across land as
tornadoes. Overall threat should diminish Wednesday night as
low-level SRH gradually subsides, and deep convection becomes
confined to the Gulf.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF WEST TX...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible, beginning in the late
afternoon Thursday across parts of west and central Texas. The most
likely corridor for large hail will be over a part of west Texas on
Thursday evening/night.
...West/central TX...
A mid/upper low will drift east across AZ/NM through much of the day
Thursday. By Thursday night, it should accelerate as an attendant
mid-level jet becomes confined to the southeast quadrant of the
cyclone. While a surface ridge will initially nose down the southern
High Plains from an anticyclone over the central High Plains, this
will eventually lose amplitude. Weak cyclogenesis should occur late
in the period along an inverted surface trough in parts of west TX.
A persistent increase in low-level moisture from the western Gulf
will return northwestward through the period. While some elevated
convection will be possible during the day, initially from central
to northwest TX, the bulk of convective development should occur in
the evening/night as the low-level jet broadly intensifies. This
will be coincident with a gradual increase in mid-level height falls overspreading west TX Thursday night.
A mesoscale corridor of relatively greater supercell potential
appears evident during the evening/night. This appears centered on
parts of the Lower Pecos Valley/Permian Basin and the western
Edwards Plateau regions near the surface trough. While low-level
lapse rates should be weak, strong southwesterly speed shear in the
mid to upper levels will be favorable for a primary threat of large
hail with a mix of cells/small clusters. An abrupt cutoff to
surface-based severe convection is expected to the north/west of
this corridor, especially as weak cyclogenesis occurs. While
consistency has increased in guidance relative to 24 hours, where
exactly this demarcation is will likely be modulated by how
widespread elevated convection becomes during the evening to night.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible through early evening
Friday across parts of central to north Texas.
...TX...
A deep mid/upper-level cyclone will move north-northeastward from NM
into the central High Plains. A weak surface low will similarly
track northward from northwest TX into western KS before occluding.
A trailing outflow-reinforced cold front should push east into
central TX by late afternoon Friday. A surface ridge initially
across the Mid-South will limit more substantial moisture return
north of the Red River.
Extensive convection will likely be ongoing at 12Z Friday across
parts of west TX/OK. An isolated/marginal severe threat could
accompany the storms during the morning across the Edwards Plateau
vicinity, where more favorable mid-level instability will be.
Surface-based destabilization will struggle across northern parts of
TX and this should support increasingly pronounced differential
heating from south to north across central TX. Guidance consensus
suggests a separate arc of afternoon thunderstorm development should
occur within a warm conveyor ahead of the surface front. This could
foster a mesoscale uptick in severe potential approaching the I-35
corridor late day. While low-level SRH should be modest where MLCAPE
is more than meager, rich western Gulf moisture will support
potential for a few supercells. Hail/wind may be the primary
threats, but a couple tornadoes are also possible. Guidance does
differ with how quickly the outflow-reinforced cold front pushes
east during the day, yielding moderate uncertainty of where a
greater severe threat may be.
Given the north-northeast track of the upper low and associated weak
surface cyclone, forcing for ascent should progressively wane during
the evening from south to north. This suggests the severe threat
will likely diminish after sunset.

Isolated, elevated thunderstorms may be ongoing across parts of the
Carolina Coastal Plain. Weak tropospheric lapse rates will be a
limiting factor to updraft intensity. Low-level flow will become
increasingly veered during the day, yielding a predominately zonal
flow regime. This should result in thunder potential shifting

Coast, before activity gradually wanes during the day. Isolated
thunderstorms may also develop across a portion of south FL during

...Western WA/OR and northern CA...
A leading shortwave trough and attendant surface cold front should
move onshore Monday morning. In its wake, low to mid-level lapse
rates will steepen amid meager buoyancy. An upstream shortwave
impulse and persistent onshore low-level winds should support
scattered, low-topped convection. Some of this will be sufficiently
deep to foster sporadic lightning through Monday evening.
Thunderstorm probabilities will diminish Monday night as the plume
of steep mid-level lapse rates shifts farther inland.

Zonal upper flow over the southern states will buckle as a
full-latitude trough progresses eastward across the West. This
trough should reach the Great Plains by 12Z Wednesday. Primary
embedded shortwave impulse is expected to eject from the Four
Corners into the central Great Plains. Low-level moisture quality
downstream will be lacking, owing in part to the preceding presence
of post-TC Rafael in the western Gulf. Modified moisture return will
still emanate northward from northeast Mexico. Low to mid 50s

Confidence remains low in whether surface-based storms will become
sustained prior to sunset, given the limited buoyancy and rather dry
mid-levels within the southwesterly flow regime. More probable
convective development is expected during the evening, as
large-scale ascent increases with approach of the trough and
strengthening low-level warm theta-e advection occurs. Favorable
speed shear in the cloud-bearing layer will support potential for a
few elevated supercells. Mid-level lapse rates appear modest, and
this may hold hail magnitudes to marginally severe. The severe
threat will probably be confined to the early/western portion of sustained-storm activity, but small hail may persist
east-northeastward in parts of OK/KS Tuesday night.

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER
MS VALLEY AND NORTHEAST GULF COAST...FOR COASTAL WA/OR/NORTHERN CA...
...SUMMARY...
A marginal tornado/wind threat is apparent on Wednesday afternoon
into Wednesday night across a part of the central Gulf Coast States. Thunderstorms with strong to locally severe gusts are also possible
near the immediate coasts of Washington, Oregon, and northern
California.
...Synopsis...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward from
the Great Plains toward the Midwest and OH/TN Valleys on Wednesday.
In conjunction with this shortwave trough, a weak surface low will
move from the east-central Plains toward the Great Lakes region, as
a trailing cold front moves through parts of the middle/lower MS
Valley. Farther west, a deep mid/upper-level trough will progress
farther inland across the western CONUS, as an embedded shortwave
moves across northern CA into the interior Northwest.
...Lower Mississippi Valley/Central Gulf Coast region...
Rich low-level moisture (with upper 60s to lower 70s F dewpoints) is
forecast to gradually spread northward across the lower MS Valley
region from later in the D1/Tuesday period into D2/Wednesday. Weak
lapse rates will tend to limit instability, while stronger
mid/upper-level flow will generally remain north of the richer
moisture. However, deep-layer shear will likely become at least
marginally supportive of organized storms, while some enhancement to
low-level flow/shear is forecast as the shortwave trough to the
north glances the region. This evolution could support a few
marginal supercells and/or stronger clusters during the afternoon
and evening, with a threat of locally damaging winds and possibly a
tornado or two.
Elevated storms will also be possible through the day/evening to the
north of the richer surface moisture. While effective shear will be
sufficient for a few strong elevated storms, the severe potential
with northward extent will tend to be limited by weak midlevel lapse
rates and generally marginal MUCAPE.
...WA/OR/northern CA coasts...
Cooling temperatures aloft will support weak destabilization in the
vicinity of the WA/OR/northern CA coasts through the day on
Wednesday. While convection will be rather low-topped, instability
may become sufficient (with SBCAPE potentially in the 200-500 J/kg
range) for occasional thunderstorms. The strongest low-level flow
will precede the primary destabilization, but persistent and rather
strong deep-layer southwesterly flow could support modestly
organized line segments and/or weakly rotating cells, with a threat
of isolated severe convective gusts and perhaps some small hail. A
brief tornado also cannot be ruled out, though the favored location
(if any) of any longer-lived rotating cells remains uncertain at
this time.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong storms will be possible near the central and northeast
Gulf Coasts early on Thursday, and later across coastal parts of the
Carolinas Thursday evening and night. Organized severe potential
appears relatively low at this time.
...Synopsis...
A negatively tilted mid/upper-level trough initially over the
Midwest/Ohio Valley is forecast to dig southeastward on Thursday and
evolve into a closed mid/upper-level low as it approaches the Mid
Atlantic. As this occurs, a surface low is forecast to deepen
Thursday night along a frontal boundary near the Coastal Carolinas.
Farther west, a mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move
eastward and amplify as it approaches the Pacific Coast and
eventually moves inland.
...Central/northeast Gulf Coast vicinity...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across parts
of AL/GA and the FL Panhandle, aided by the mid/upper-level
shortwave trough moving across the Ohio Valley and attendant
low-level jet. Low-level flow will tend to veer and weaken through
the day, which will tend to result in less convective organization
with time. However, if organized convection from late on
D1/Wednesday can persist into Thursday morning, then rich low-level
moisture and sufficient low-level and deep-layer shear could support
a threat of isolated damaging winds and possibly a tornado.
Probabilities may eventually be needed if it appears that some
severe threat may continue from overnight Wednesday into the first
part of Thursday.
...Coastal Carolinas...
Uncertainty remains regarding the northward extent of appreciable
surface moistening/destabilization near the Coastal Carolinas, as
the surface low deepens and tracks east-northeastward into Friday
morning. However, there appears to be some potential for the
effective warm front to overlap parts of coastal NC and the Outer
Banks during the evening, as stronger deep-layer flow and ascent
overspread the region. Increasingly widespread precipitation will
tend to limit destabilization, but favorable wind profiles will
support organized convective potential where modest buoyancy can
develop. Probabilities may eventually be needed near the coast and
Outer Banks, if confidence increases regarding the potential for
isolated damaging winds and/or a tornado later in the forecast
period.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.
...Synopsis...
A deepening cyclone initially centered near the NC Outer Banks on
Friday morning is forecast to quickly move offshore through the day,
as a trailing cold front moves across the Florida Peninsula and Gulf
of Mexico. A deep mid/upper-level trough will move slowly eastward
across the western CONUS, with some further amplification of this
trough expected through the forecast period.
Thunderstorm potential will be low across most of the CONUS due to
generally limited moisture/instability. Some thunderstorm potential
may linger very early in the period across coastal NC, before the
low moves farther offshore with time. Weak convection with sporadic
lightning flashes will be possible across parts of central/northern
CA into the Great Basin in association with the western trough.
Confidence in sufficient coverage remains too low to include any
general thunderstorm areas across the West at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts
of western, central and northwest Texas from Sunday evening through
daybreak on Monday, posing a risk for severe gusts and possibly a
tornado or two.
...Southern High Plains...
A mid-level low and an associated trough will move into northern
Mexico on Sunday, reaching the southern High Plains Sunday night.
Ahead of the trough, strong moisture advection will occur across the
southern Plains. Surface dewpoints are forecast to increase in the
50s F across parts of west and northwest Texas, and into the 60s F
across much of west-central and north-central Texas. A large area of
convection is expected to develop by early Sunday evening ahead of
the trough from southeast New Mexico into parts of far west and
west-central Texas. This will occur as a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet strengthens across the southern High Plains. Aided by strong
large-scale ascent, and a rapid low-level jet response, scattered
strong to severe storms are expected to develop over parts of the
southern High Plains. Model forecasts are in relatively good
agreement, showing potential for MCS development late Sunday evening
into Sunday night.
Although instability will remain weak ahead of the system, a steady
ramp up of instability and low-level moisture is expected over the
southern Plains. Between 03Z and 09Z on Sunday evening, ECMWF
forecast soundings increase MLCAPE into the 500 to 1000 J/kg range
over parts of west-central and northwest Texas. This suggests that
the severe threat that develops with the MCS should continue into
the overnight period. The current thinking is that a line of strong
to severe storms will become organized and move across west-central
and northwest Texas from late Sunday evening into the overnight. The
primary mode is expected to be linear, although isolated discrete
supercells, with tornado potential, may develop ahead of the line.
Otherwise, the primary threat should be for severe gusts along the
leading edge of a quasi-linear convective system. The severe threat
may continue to the end of the period, as a band of focused
large-scale ascent couples with a strong low-level jet to maintain
strong convective development with the MCS.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts and perhaps a
tornado will be possible across parts of north Texas and southern
Oklahoma Monday morning. A marginal risk for severe gusts is
expected across a relatively large area during the afternoon and
evening from the eastern parts of the southern and central Plains
eastward into the Ozarks and lower Mississippi Valley.
...Southern and Central Plains/Ozarks/Lower Missouri Valley...
A negatively-tilted mid-level trough is forecast to be in the
southern High Plains at the start of the period. A squall-line is
expected to be ongoing ahead of the trough at 12Z from central and
north Texas into southern Oklahoma. Along the leading edge of this
organized linear MCS, a wind-damage threat is expected Monday
morning. A tornado will also be possible with any rotating element
within the line. The line is expected to weaken by midday as the
mid-level trough moves away to the northeast, with the associated
low moving into the central Plains. As surface heating takes place,
additional thunderstorms are expected to develop during the
afternoon across parts of the southern and central Plains. Isolated
severe gusts and hail will be possible with the stronger cells.
Ahead of the trough, an isolated wind-damage and/or tornado threat
may develop across the lower Missouri Valley and Ozarks during the
late afternoon. The severe threat is expected to be marginal due to
very weak instability.
...Sabine Valley/Lower Mississippi Valley...
In the wake of the mid-level trough, southwesterly mid-level flow
will be in place across the western Gulf Coast states on Monday. A
moist and unstable airmass is forecast to move from far southeast
Texas late Monday afternoon into southern Louisiana during the
evening. Thunderstorms will likely develop across much of the Lower
Mississippi Valley, as low-level flow increases in the evening.
Model consensus suggests that MCS development will be likely across
parts of the lower Mississippi Valley. A relatively large number of
storms should help to overturn much of the airmass. Also, the
stronger mid-level flow is forecast to remain well to the north,
suggesting that any wind-damage threat associated with the MCS
should be marginal.

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts and perhaps a
tornado will be possible across parts of the central Gulf states on Tuesday.
...Central Gulf Coast States...
Southwesterly mid-level flow will remain in place over much of the
Southeast on Tuesday, as a cold front advances eastward into the
region. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of the front in the
Gulf Coast states, with surface dewpoints from the mid 60s to lower
70s F. As surface heating takes place during the day, thunderstorm
development is expected from near the front eastward across the much
of the moist sector. Although instability will be weak, strong
low-level flow will aid convective development, and a few severe
storms will be possible. The greatest severe threat will exist in
the vicinity of the central Gulf Coast, where the combination of
low-level shear and moisture may be enough for an isolated tornado threat.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe weather is not expected on Wednesday. Isolated thunderstorms
are most likely over parts of Florida and the Carolinas, and along
the coastal Pacific Northwest.
...Synopsis...
On Wednesday, a deep upper trough will extend from a low over
northern MN southward toward the Ozarks, and will pivot northeast
across the OH Valley and Midwestern states, becoming negatively
tilted. A tight midlevel temperature gradient and 130 kt speed max
will relax somewhat through 00Z. Then, a secondary strong speed max
will develop overnight from the mid MS Valley into the southern
Appalachians.
Meanwhile, an upper ridge will gradually move east toward the
Rockies, with resulting northwest flow regime across the Plains.
At the surface, high pressure will be entrenched from the Rockies
into the central and southern Plains, and extending into the Gulf of
Mexico where strong offshore flow will exist. A low will develop
near Lake Erie during the day, with the cold front pushing into the
Mid Atlantic to the Carolinas late in the day.
...Carolinas...
Low-level moisture with 60s F dewpoints will spread north across the
eastern Carolinas and into southeast VA through 00Z ahead of the
cold front. Deep-layer shear will increase as the upper trough
swings east, with very weak instability developing.
Forecast soundings indicate poor low-level lapse rates/heating, with substantial midlevel drying. In addition, a prominent subsidence
inversion is present in several model depictions. Given a lack of
appreciable low-level flow fields to support wind gusts, strong
storms are not expected.
...Florida...
Area of thunderstorms are forecast over the eastern Gulf of Mexico
early on Wednesday, with a plume of instability ahead of a cold
front. While some of this activity will move across the Peninsula,
it appears the boundary layer will be relatively cool. As such,
despite the moderate low-level SRH during the morning along the
western coasts, most of it should be rendered in-effective.
...Ohio and Vicinity...
A very strong vorticity maximum will travel east across IN, OH, the
upper OH Valley and into western PA and Lake Erie on Wednesday.
Large-scale ascent will be strong, with rapidly cooling temperatures
aloft. Shallow convection may develop with limited heating along the
cold front, which will itself result in gusty winds with 30 kt
ambient flow just off the surface. While severe storms are unlikely,
a flash or two cannot be ruled out given such cool temperatures
aloft.
...Coastal Pacific Northwest...
Strong cooling aloft on the north size of a midlevel temperature
gradient will exist over northwest OR into western WA with a slowly
weakening midlevel jet. Weak low-level CAPE will develop mainly over
the water. However, some cams show low-topped storms possibly moving
ashore, and wind shear will be strong. While locally strong gusts
cannot be ruled out, the severe risk appears low at this time.

morning, and will gradually weaken as it drifts east through the

Rockies into the Plains, while yet another trough pushes across the
Pacific Northwest region late.
Substantial northwest surface winds will maintain relatively stable
conditions from the Plains to the East Coast, with no instability
forecast over much of the CONUS.
The exception will be again along the coastal counties of WA and OR,
as strong cooling aloft occurs. Scattered low-topped convection will
be most likely over the ocean overnight. A few thunderstorms may
move onshore, but at this time the stronger shear farther north does
not appear to overlap with the minimal instability required for a
severe threat.

Ahead of this front, southerly winds will result in a batch of low

cold front.
Elsewhere, cool air aloft will remain over much of the northwestern

Isolated thunderstorms are possible late Monday into Monday night
from the Sabine Valley into parts of the Mid-South.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A strong shortwave trough will take on a negative tilt as it sweeps
across the upper MS Valley on Monday, and across the upper Great
Lakes overnight. Behind this system, a broad fetch of strong flow
aloft will extend westward across the Plains and to another wave
moving across the Pacific NW and toward the western Great Basin.
In association with the leading wave, a surface low will be located
over Lower MI during the day, with a cold front extending
southwestward across the OH, Lower MS, and Sabine Valleys at 00Z.
This front will progress to a southern Appalachians to northwest
Gulf of Mexico line by 12Z Tuesday.
Ahead of this front, weak instability will develop as 60s F
dewpoints spread northeastward across LA, MS, and nosing into AL and
western TN. Much of the instability will be elevated in nature,
especially on the northern end of the moist plume. Even farther
southwest into LA, MLCAPE should only reach about 500 J/kg.
Forecast soundings are not particularly favorable for even general thunderstorms with a capping inversion noted. Still, deepening lift
along the front and non-zero instability may result in isolated weak thunderstorms along the front.

the large-scale trough, cold midlevel temperatures above the
relatively warmer Great Lakes will contribute to steep lapse rates
and weak instability. An isolated lightning flash cannot be ruled
out within the stronger lake-effect snow bands downwind of Lake
Ontario and possibly over Lake Huron, though coverage appears too
limited for General Thunderstorm highlights.
Farther south, ample boundary-layer moisture in the vicinity of a
weak frontal-wave low off the Lower TX Coast will support isolated thunderstorms during the overnight hours, though most of this
activity should remain offshore.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Monday across south
Texas. Severe storms are not expected.
...Synopsis...
A dry, continental polar air mass will be in place across the CONUS
on Monday. The only exception is across far south Texas. Easterly
flow will strengthen across the Gulf on Sunday night and Monday as a
strong anticyclone moves into the central CONUS. This will cause mid
to upper 60s dewpoints to advect inland across far south Texas.
Meager instability may develop which could result in a few isolated thunderstorms. However, this is more likely offshore where somewhat
greater instability is likely.

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will move off the east coast on Tuesday.
Surface high pressure will progress east in its wake with a strong
anticyclone moving from the Ozarks to the southern Appalachians
through the weekend.
Easterly flow across the Gulf of Mexico on the southern periphery of
the anticyclone will result in some moisture making it inland across
far south Texas. A few thunderstorms will be possible along the
immediate coastal areas during the morning and early afternoon
hours. As low-level flow becomes southerly and strengthens somewhat,
moisture advection around 1 km will result in increasing elevated
instability. A few elevated thunderstorms are possible in this
warm-air advection regime early Wednesday morning.

A large, upper-level trough will move into southern Ontario and the
Great Lakes Region on Wednesday with a very strong mid-level jet
along the western periphery of this trough. As this occurs, a
compact low-level jet is forecast to develop across east Texas and
move into Louisiana and far western Mississippi during the evening
and overnight hours. As low-level southerly flow increases across
east Texas, low-level moisture will lead to modest elevated
instability (500 to 1000 J/kg MUCAPE). Scattered thunderstorms are
possible across this region for much of the period. However,
instability appears too weak too warrant any substantial severe
weather threat.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms are likely across a large portion of Texas
on Saturday. No severe thunderstorms are expected.
...Synopsis...
A southern-stream upper low is forecast to begin the period over the AZ/NM/Mexico border intersection vicinity before progressing
northeastward through the southern High Plains throughout the
period. Enhanced mid-level flow will accompany this low, spreading
eastward across the southern Plains. Low-level flow across the
southern Plains will also increase ahead of this system, resulting
in strengthening warm-air advection throughout the day.
Surface easterlies are expected across the Gulf of Mexico, but a
stationary boundary along the TX Coast will prevent inland
penetration of any notable low-level moisture. Even so, moderate
mid-level moisture and increasing large-scale lift ahead of the
approaching upper low will result in a large area of precipitation.
Cooling mid-level temperatures may help support modest buoyancy,
with isolated thunderstorms expected within the larger precipitation
shield. The probability of any severe thunderstorms is very low.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible from southeast Texas into the Lower
Mississippi Valley and Mid-South on Sunday. The probability for
severe thunderstorms is very low.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Upper low expected to be over the TX Panhandle early Sunday is
forecast to devolve into an open wave as it progresses northeastward
across OK and the Ozarks into the Mid MS Valley. Enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow will accompany this system, spreading from the
southern Plains across the Mid/Lower MS Valley, TN Valley, and
Southeast as the wave moves northeastward. Strengthening low-level
jet is anticipated ahead of this system as well. This jet will
likely be located over east TX late Sunday afternoon before evolving
quickly northeastward and ending the period from central AL into
eastern KY.
Progression of this system will displace it north of the more
favorable low-level moisture, which will be confined to the upper TX
Coast early Sunday before advecting northeastward into more of the
Lower MS Valley/Mid-South throughout the day. Warm-air advection
across this moistening warm sector and modest buoyancy may result in
elevated thunderstorms embedded within the larger precipitation
shield. Deep-layer vertical shear will be strong and there is a very
low probability that a storm or two could become strong enough to
produce small hail, particularly across northern LA and southern AR.
However, the limited buoyancy should keep the overall severe
potential low.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible from the Lower Mississippi Valley into
much of the Southeast States on Monday. The probability for severe thunderstorms is low.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
The upper pattern is forecast to undergo significant amplification
on Monday, resulting in a deep upper trough that is expected to
extend across much of the CONUS by Tuesday morning. The initial
evolution of this upper trough will begin as a shortwave trough
moves through the Great Basin into the Southwest while another moves
from the Upper Midwest across the Upper Great Lakes and Ontario.
A surface low attendant to the Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes
shortwave trough will move eastward just ahead of its parent
shortwave. As it does, an associated cold front will push
southeastward through the Mid MS and the Lower OH Valleys, and the
southern Plains. A secondary low is forecast to develop along the
front across north TX, before then moving eastward and ending the
period over northern LA/west-central MS.
This overall evolution will encourage the development of a broad
warm sector across the Lower MS Valley and Southeast, with dewpoints
likely reaching the mid 60s before the front moves through. A broad
area of precipitation is anticipated within this warm sector
throughout the day, but buoyancy will be minimized by poor lapse
rates and relatively warm profiles. Initially strong low-level flow
will weaken throughout the day before then increasing again Monday
night ahead of the front. This will lengthen low-level hodographs,
with low-level shear high enough to support severe potential.
Localized severe potential may exist near the surface low as it
moves across the ArkLaMiss vicinity late Monday night. However,
minimal buoyancy will remain in place, with surface stability
potentially persisting as well. These factors suggest the overall
severe threat will remain low, precluding the need for any
probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH AL...SOUTHWEST GA...AND THE ADJACENT FL PANHANDLE...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of
central and south Alabama, southwest Georgia, and the adjacent
Florida Panhandle on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
Deep upper troughing is forecast to extend from central CA into the Southwest/northern Mexico Tuesday. This troughing will be anchored
by a shortwave trough expected to move from the southern
High Plains eastward across the southern Plains and Lower MS Valley. Progression of this shortwave will foster a more neutral tilt to the
parent upper troughing while also significantly strengthening the
mid-level flow through its eastern periphery. A belt of 100-120 kt
500 mb flow will likely extend from AL into the central Appalachians
early Wednesday morning.
A surface low initially near the ArkLaMiss region is expected to
move quickly northeast toward the upper Ohio Valley, with some
guidance showing secondary cyclogenesis later in the period along
the trailing cold front that will move across the Southeast.
...Southeast...
A moderately moist warm sector will precede the front forecast to
move across the region, with dewpoints increasing into the mid 60s
by the afternoon across central AL/GA and the FL Panhandle. Modest
secondary cyclogenesis appears possible along the front as it moves
through central AL and intersects slightly greater returning
low-level moisture. Buoyancy will remain modest, mitigated by poor
lapse rates and relatively warm profiles, but vertical shear will be
strong (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear greater than 50 kt) and supportive of organization with any deeper, more persistent updrafts. These deeper
updrafts appear most probable within the warm sector near the
developing secondary surface low (i.e. central/southern AL into
southwest GA and the adjacent FL Panhandle) during the late
afternoon. Any sustained cells/clusters within this environment
could pose a threat of isolated damaging gusts and possibly a
tornado. A gradually narrowing warm sector will likely limit the
northern and eastern extent of the severe threat, though a strong
storm or two cannot be ruled out from north AL/GA into
middle/eastern TN.
...GA/north FL in the Carolinas and Outer Banks late Tuesday night
into early Wednesday morning...
A strong south-southwesterly low-level jet is expected to develop
from Georgia through the eastern Carolinas late Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning, in response to the intensifying shortwave trough
moving into the Southeast. Warm-air advection associated with this
jet coupled with strengthening large-scale ascent is expected to
result in increasingly broad area of precipitation across the
region. Surface-based storms appears unlikely within this
environment, but robust wind fields could still support a strong
gust or two.
Greater low-level moisture may advect into the NC Outer Banks
vicinity early Wednesday morning, with low-level and deep-layer
shear increasing across the region as well. Any surface-based storms
could have some severe potential. However, guidance differs on how
far the mid 60s dewpoints penetrate inland, which, given the warm
mid-level temperatures, currently limits the predictability of
surface-based storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN NC
INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms are possible along and ahead
of a cold front from eastern North Carolina into southern New
England on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A deep upper trough is expected to extend from central Canada
southward along the length of the MS Valley into the western Gulf
early Wednesday morning. A shortwave trough embedded within the base
of this larger troughing is forecast to move quickly northeastward
from the Lower MS Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. In response, the
parent upper troughing will shift eastward while also deamplifying.
Strong mid/upper flow is anticipated throughout the eastern
periphery of this troughing, with a 100-110 kt 500 mb jet shifting northeastward from the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic throughout
the day.
An associated surface low will deepen as it moves northeastward from
northern VA through the Hudson Valley into NH/VT. An attendant cold
front is forecast to sharpens as it moves quickly eastward, moving
off the East Coast by Wednesday evening.
...Eastern North Carolina to southern New England...
Low to mid 60s dewpoints are expected to advect northward into the
Carolinas and northern Mid-Atlantic States ahead of the approaching
cold front, with mid to upper 50s possible farther north into
southern New England. These dewpoints will support modest buoyancy,
with the overall buoyancy tempered by poor mid-level lapse rates and
widespread precipitation. Even so, a strongly forced convective line
is still expected to develop along the front as it moves quickly
eastward across the region during the afternoon. Deeper convection
is anticipated in this line when increasing large-scale ascent
aligns with the low-level forcing along the front. Guidance differs
on when and where this occurs, with some guidance suggesting it
occurs primarily offshore. Even so, there is still enough potential
for this occur onshore to maintain probabilities for strong gusts.
Expectation is for this deeper convection to combine with the robust
kinematic fields to provide a large reservoir of high-momentum air
capable of mixing down to the surface. Given the strength of the
forcing, this potential exists as far north across southern New
England where buoyancy is expected to be very low.
Additionally, some potential exists for surface-based storms within
the warm sector ahead of the front, provided that antecedent
precipitation does not entirely stabilize the low levels. Some
guidance suggests a pre-frontal band of surface-based storms
develops with low-level confluence within the warm sector over
coastal NC and the Outer Banks.

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
In the wake of a strong shortwave trough moving into the Canadian
Maritimes, a mid/upper cyclone is forecast to progress from the
Ontario/Quebec border vicinity eastward through Quebec on Thursday.
Strong mid-level flow throughout the base of this cyclone is
expected to extend from the northern/central Plains through the
Northeast. Even with these strong dynamics, extensive surface
ridging is expected from the northern Plains into much of the
eastern CONUS, promoting dry and stable conditions. Consequently, no thunderstorms are anticipated.
Farther west, a low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to
progress across the Great Basin into the Four Corners region while
enhanced mid-level westerly flow associated with it spreads from
southern CA across the Southwest. Some modified moisture return is
anticipated across south TX late Thursday night/early Friday
morning, but this will remain well downstream of the shortwave
trough. As such, the lack of moisture/buoyancy ahead of this
shortwave will preclude thunderstorm development.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected through Friday night.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough is forecast to begin the period over the Four
Corners before continuing eastward across the central Rockies and
ending the period as a closed cyclone over the central Plains. An
associated surface low is expected to move quickly northeastward
just ahead of this shortwave, progressing from the northeast
NM/southeast CO vicinity into eastern KS. As it does, an attendant
cold front will push eastward across the southern High Plains and
western KS.
Modified moisture return is anticipated within the strong low to
mid-level flow preceding this shortwave and its attendant cold
front. Low 60s dewpoints will likely reach north Texas by
early Saturday morning but the mid 60s dewpoints are expected to
remain confined to the TX Coastal Plain. A strengthening low-level
jet and associated warm-air advection over the pre-frontal warm
sector (from southeast TX into the Lower MO Valley) is forecast to
result in elevated thunderstorms from Friday evening through
Saturday morning. Poor lapse rates will limit buoyancy, with the
expectation that most updrafts will be weak and transient. Strong
vertical shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear around 50 kt) may support
small hail within the deepest, most persistent updrafts.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday.
...Central/South-Central States...
An upper cyclone and attendant trough will lift east/northeast from
the central/southern Plains toward the Great Lakes on Saturday. Only
a weak reflection of this upper system is expected at the surface,
where a low over eastern KS during the morning hours will generally
weaken as it lifts northeast into the Upper Midwest. Southerly
low-level flow will transport 60s F surface dewpoints into the TX
coast and east TX and the Sabine Valley vicinity through evening.
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible in this low-level warm
advection regime ahead of the upper trough and weakening surface low
from east TX/LA into the Lower and Mid-MS Valley. A strong storm or
two may be possible across southeast TX into LA where deeper
boundary-layer moisture and modest surface-based destabilization
will overlap with weak vertical shear. However, large-scale ascent
will remain weak as large-scale ascent remains displaced to the
north. Additionally, low and midlevel lapse rates will remain poor.
Overall severe potential is expected to remain negligible, and
thunderstorm activity across the region should diminish during the
evening hours.
...Pacific Coast States...
Persistent onshore flow is forecast through the evening hours as an
upper trough located offshore the Pacific coast Saturday morning
moves inland toward the Rockies by Sunday morning. Isolated
thunderstorms are expected, especially during the 12-18z time frame
when large-scale ascent will be maximized amid steepening midlevel
lapse rates. A strong southwesterly low-level jet will overspread
portions of central CA during the morning to midday time period,
resulting in some hodograph curvature. However, cool surface
temperatures and very modest instability (generally less than 200
J/kg MLCAPE) will likely limit surface-based convection.

Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Monday.
...TX/OK/MO to the Lower MS Valley...
An upper trough over the northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest
Monday morning will weaken as it shifts east/northeast across the
Great Lakes. The strongest deep-layer southwesterly flow associated
with this system will mainly be focused over the Mid/Lower MO and
Mid-MS Valleys into the Great Lakes. Though, modest vertical shear
will extend as far south as eastern OK and the Ozarks into the
ArkLaTex vicinity. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
extend from southeast MO into southeast OK and northwest Texas
Monday morning. This front will track east/southeast through the
period, becoming positioned from the TN Valley toward the ArkLaTex
and central TX by Tuesday morning.
Ahead of the front, upper 50s to mid 60s dewpoints will be
maintained by south/southwesterly low-level flow from central TX
toward the MO Bootheel and the Lower MS Valley. Scattered elevated thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing from eastern OK into southern
MO and parts of AR. Additional convection will develop near the southeast-advancing cold front as far northeast as the Lower OH
Valley and southeast into central TX and the ArkLaTex/Lower MS
Valley through the period.
Stronger large-scale ascent and vertical shear will remain focused
north, and out of phase with, the area of better low-level moisture
across the south-central states. A couple of stronger storms may
produce small hail early in the period from eastern OK toward the MO
Bootheel. However, low-level inhibition and poor low-level lapse
rates are expected to limit surface-based instability. Deep-layer
flow parallel to the surface boundary, limited surface-based
instability, and weakening shear/ascent with southward extent,
should limit overall severe potential on Monday.

Thunderstorms are expected from the southern Plains to the Lower
Ohio and Tennessee Valley vicinities and across Florida on Tuesday. Severe-thunderstorm chances are low at this time.
...Eastern OK/ArkLaTex/Ozarks Vicinity...
An upper trough will deepen as it moves across the Plains to the MS
Valley vicinity on Tuesday. A 500 mb jet max around 50-70 kt will
become oriented from eastern OK into the Ohio Valley/lower Great
Lakes area after 06z, and stronger height falls are not expected to
overspread the region until the nighttime hours. At the surface, 50s

the Mid-South vicinity. A strong cold front will track southeast
across KS/OK during the evening, and by 06z be positioned from
northern AR into southeast OK and north-central TX. This boundary
will become a focus for increasing isentropic ascent and isolated to
scattered thunderstorms during the overnight/early Wednesday period.
Neutral height tendencies will likely suppress convection during the
day across much of the area. As convection develops along the
advancing cold front overnight, uncertainty remains regarding any
surface-based instability overlapping with stronger vertical shear
(which decreases rapidly with southward extent). Forecast soundings
vary across forecast guidance, but at least weak elevated
instability is expected driven by cooling aloft. Stronger elevated
cores could produce small hail, given forecast lapse rates around
6.8-7 C/km amid 30+ kt effective shear magnitudes (especially from
southeast OK into AR). Overall, severe potential appears quite
conditional for the last 3-6 hours of the forecast period. Will hold
off on including low-end hail probabilities, though a Marginal
(level 1 of 5) risk may be needed in later outlooks depending on
forecast trends.
...FL Peninsula...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday as a moist airmass
and at least weak instability overspread the region. Onshore,
easterly low-level flow will provide convergence along an inverted
surface trough. Given sufficient destabilization, this will support
development of thunderstorms moving onshore through evening. Weak
0-6 km bulk shear (less than 20 kt) will preclude organized
convection, and severe storms are not expected.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible from the lower Ohio Valley southwest into northeast/central Texas early on Wednesday and across the Southeast,
Carolinas, and Florida Wednesday afternoon and evening.
...Synopsis...
A positively tilted upper trough will develop east across the
eastern U.S. on Wednesday. Moderate mid/upper level southwesterly
flow ahead of the trough will overspread the OH/TN Valleys into the
Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic regions. At the surface, a cold front
will extend from southern OH to southeast AR to central TX at the
beginning of the period. This front will develop southeast across
the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, mostly moving offshore from the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts by Thursday morning.
...Northeast TX to the TN Valley...
Showers and elevated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near the
surface cold front Wednesday morning. Forecast soundings show poor
low-level lapse rates and little surface-based instability. However,
up to 500 J/kg MUCAPE will be present, courtesy of cool midlevel
temperatures and modest midlevel lapse rates. Deep-layer flow is
forecast to remain mostly unidirectional and parallel to the front,
suggesting convective undercutting by the boundary/outflows. While
some briefly organized structure may persist the first hour or two
of the forecast period, convection is expected to rapidly decrease
in intensity with southeast extent across the TN Valley/Gulf Coast
states. This is largely due to more modest boundary-layer moisture
and weakening vertical shear across MS/AL.
...FL/GA/Carolinas...
Isentropic ascent ahead of the approaching upper trough/surface
front will increase across the region through day. However,
large-scale ascent will remain weak until late, with the vorticity
maxima trailing well behind the surface front. Nevertheless, showers
and isolated thunderstorms will be possible within the low-level
warm-advection regime, especially during the afternoon/early
evening. Forecast guidance varies in the depiction of the low-level thermodynamics and degree of destabilization. Though some support
for an organized storm or two is plausible, given around 750-1000
J/kg MLCAPE and effective shear magnitudes around 20-30 kt. While a
strong storm could produce gusty winds or even small hail (given
somewhat elongated/straight hodographs and cool midlevel temps),
forecast confidence regarding severe potential remains fairly low.
Will refrain from introducing low-end/Marginal (level 1 of 5) risk probabilities at this time, though an outlook area may be required
in subsequent outlooks.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Florida...
A shortwave upper trough within the area of broader eastern CONUS
troughing will be oriented from the Carolinas to the northeast Gulf
of Mexico Thursday morning. This system will shift east across FL
and offshore the Atlantic coast through 00z. At the surface, a cold
front located over north FL early in the day will develop southward
across the Peninsula. Low-level flow will be veered/northerly ahead
of the front, resulting in little low-level convergence.
Additionally, stronger large-scale ascent will remain well north of
the Peninsula. While weak destabilization is forecast (500-1000 J/kg
MLCAPE), mainly over the southern Peninsula, poor lapse rates and
warm midlevel temperatures will preclude severe thunderstorm
potential. Most CAMs and calibrated thunder guidance also indicate
little thunderstorm activity. Will maintain 10 percent general
thunder probabilities for the southeast FL coast, but even that may
be generous.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday.
...Discussion...
The large-scale pattern will be progressive on Saturday, with a
shortwave trough and related frontal band moving inland across the
Pacific Northwest and northern California. Steepening mid-level
lapse rates and weak buoyancy could yield isolated thunderstorms
mainly for coastal areas of Oregon and northern California during
the morning, and possibly into the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms
are not expected given the minimal buoyancy but gusty winds could
occur with a storm or two along the immediate coast.
Elsewhere, prevalent surface high pressure east of the Rockies and
stable conditions will preclude thunderstorms.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Sunday.
...Discussion...
A progressive upper-level pattern will continue across the CONUS on
Sunday. A continental polar airmass will remain across the eastern
CONUS which will preclude thunderstorm potential for most of the
country. A few thunderstorms are possible along the Pacific
Northwest and northern California coasts, particularly Sunday late
afternoon and evening as the next in a series of shortwave troughs

the limited buoyancy.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
...Discussion...
A shortwave trough is expected to amplify from the central Rockies
to the south-central High Plains on Monday. Weak surface wave
development is expected across Texas into southern Oklahoma, with a
modest increase in low-level moisture across central/east Texas into
southern Oklahoma in advance of a cold front moving southeastward
across the southern High Plains. Increasing forcing for ascent and
elevated moisture transport should lead to increasing elevated
convection Monday night across north/northeast Texas into southeast
Oklahoma and the ArkLaTex. While a mid-level capping inversion may
tend to persist, updrafts should increasingly reach a sufficient depth/temperature late Monday night into early Tuesday for at least
isolated thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are not currently
expected given access to only weak elevated buoyancy.
Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible late Monday night
across the coastal Pacific Northwest and northern California as weak
buoyancy develops with an upper trough approaching the coast and an inland-moving frontal band.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
SOUTH-CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
A few locally severe storms could occur across parts of central and
East Texas on Tuesday.
...Central/East Texas...
A southern-stream shortwave trough will amplify and spread
east-southeastward on Tuesday across the south-central Plains toward
the Ozarks. Low-level moisture will modestly increase across the
Texas coastal plain into south-central/east Texas during the day.
Lower 60s F surface dewpoints will become increasingly common inland
ahead a southeast-moving cold front that will extend from
north-central Texas southwestward toward the Edwards Plateau Tuesday
afternoon.
In proximity to a surface wave and near/north of a warm front,
scattered convection should be ongoing Tuesday morning across far north/northeast Texas and the ArkLaTex vicinity/southeast Oklahoma.
Modest diurnal destabilization (up to 750-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) should
occur ahead of the southeastward-moving effective cold front, mainly
across south-central to east/southeast Texas including the I-35/I-45
corridors. As this occurs, a diurnally related intensification of
storms is expected near the southeast-advancing front, and possibly
also in the nearby free warm sector during the afternoon. A few of
these storms could be severe.
Effective shear will not be overly strong (30-35 kt), including some
flow weakness continuing to be noted in model soundings around 2-3
km AGL. Even so, some organized storm modes including weak/transient
supercells could occur with marginally severe hail and/or a few
locally severe wind gusts, mainly during the afternoon and evening.
...Northern California/Pacific Northwest...
As a prominent upper-level trough and related frontal band moves
inland, isolated thunderstorms will be possible across northern
California coastal areas and interior valley on Tuesday, early in
the day with the frontal band and with post-frontal cellular
convection during the day as low/mid-level lapse rates steepen. A
more limited/isolated thunderstorm potential will also exist across
other parts of the coastal Pacific Northwest.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to locally severe thunderstorms could occur across
parts of the central Gulf Coast into central Mississippi and
Alabama.
...Synopsis...
A progressive pattern with multiple embedded mid-level shortwave
troughs will traverse the Southern Plains and Southeast on Friday.
The first of these shortwave troughs, associated with the DY1 severe
weather risk, will be located in the Mid-Mississippi Valley on
Friday morning. A secondary mid-level trough will cross the Mid-Mississippi/Lower-Mississippi valley between 18Z and 00Z on
Friday. Finally, another mid-level trough will start to sharpen
across central/northern Texas toward the end of the period.
...Central Gulf Coast into central MS/AL...
A broken line of thunderstorms, perhaps with some marginal wind
damage threat, will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
across central MS. The mid-level shortwave trough associated with
this convection will move quickly north and deamplify during the
morning which will likely result in weakening convection by mid-day.
A reservoir of instability will remain across the central Gulf Coast
with perhaps some northward advection into central MS/AL during the
early afternoon as the next mid-level trough approaches the region.
The primary forcing/height falls associated with this trough will
remain mostly north of the warm sector, but a glancing blow could
result in isolated thunderstorms. Lapse rates will remain weak, but
sufficient effective shear (35-40 knots) could result in a few
stronger/more organized storms capable of large hail or some
damaging wind gusts.
Removed the marginal risk across central Louisiana for the threat of
elevated thunderstorms with the northward advancing warm front late
in the period. It appears the primary forcing associated with the
mid-level trough and strengthening low-level jet will be after 12Z
Saturday.
