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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Mississippi/Alabama Vicinity...

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

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

    ...Central MO Vicinity...

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Southern Plains to Ozarks vicinity...

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

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

    ...Central Gulf Coast States...

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...South Florida...

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

    ...Pacific Northwest through northern Rockies...

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...OK/TX...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Carolinas through southern Georgia...

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

    ....Lower Mississippi Valley region...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED FOR TEXT IN DISCUSSION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

    ...Northwest TX...

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Central/Southern Plains vicinity...

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

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

    ...Delmarva/Chesapeake Vicinity...

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

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

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

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley region...

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

    ...Middle MS Valley...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

    ...Florida...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

    THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY....

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED GRAPHIC DISCREPANCY IN GULF COASTAL VICINITY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    OF THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...

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

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

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

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

    ATLANTIC REGION AND SURROUNDING AREAS...

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Southeast States...

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

    is not expected.

    ...FL...

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

    ...Pacific NW...

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Upper Midwest...

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

    ...Northern and Central Rockies...

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

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

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

    ...Southern plains region...

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

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

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

    ...Central High Plains...

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

    ...Upper Midwest...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Florida...

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

    ...Middle Mississippi Valley vicinity...

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

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

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

    ...Central/Southern Plains...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED TEXT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    NEBRASKA AND FAR NORTHERN KANSAS...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Northern Plains...

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

    ...Northern New England...

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Northern High Plains...

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Maine...

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Great Lakes Vicinity...

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

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

    ...AZ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED FOR REVERSED THUNDER LINES

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

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

    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.

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

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

    ...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.

    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

    ...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.

    ...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

    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.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST...

    ...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.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHEAST
    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.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF OH/PA
    INTO NORTHERN WV AND WESTERN NY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered damaging winds and a couple tornadoes are possible on
    Saturday from parts of Ohio into northern West Virginia, central and
    western Pennsylvania, and western New York.

    ...Parts of the Ohio Valley and Northeast...
    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.

    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.

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

    ...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.

    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.

    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.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with isolated severe wind gusts and hail,
    will be possible on Tuesday in parts of the central and northern
    High Plains westward into the northern Rockies.

    ...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.

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...

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

    ...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.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...AND IN PARTS OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN
    WEST AND CENTRAL ROCKIES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    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
    produce damaging wind gusts and hail. Risk should diminish through
    late evening in tandem with nocturnal low-level stabilization.

    ...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.

    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

    ...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.

    storms will be possible along the Gulf Coast, near the northern edge
    of a moist airmass. No severe threat is expected across the U.S. on
    Tuesday and Tuesday night.

    ...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.

    Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible in the late
    afternoon Friday in parts of Illinois, Indiana, and southwest Lower
    Michigan.

    A low-amplitude shortwave trough will pass across the Upper to

    outpace a cold front that trails from a cyclone shifting northeast
    in MB, yielding a largely weakening to stalling front by Friday

    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.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday.

    ...Synopsis...
    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%.

    ...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%.

    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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    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
    Great Lakes. A surface cold front associated with this trough will
    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.

    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.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A quasi-zonal upper-level jet will be present across the northern

    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.

    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.

    ...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.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move across New England on Monday,
    as a cyclonic flow regime remains over much of the northeastern
    third of the nation. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
    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.

    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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    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.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
    nation Tuesday through Tuesday night.

    ...Discussion...
    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.

    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.

    A few storms may produce hail on Thursday from far northeast Kansas

    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.

    No severe thunderstorms are expected on Friday.

    Minimal thunderstorms will occur across the CONUS on Friday, with
    high pressure over much of the Plains and East. The exception will
    be from the Ozarks into the OH Valley where a narrow plume of low
    60s F dewpoints will exist ahead of a weakening cold front. Here,
    some weak instability may develop during the afternoon with weak
    lift possibly aiding isolated thunderstorm activity. Some
    convergence along the front and neutral height tendencies aloft may
    support some thunderstorms early in the day before frontal
    convergence weakens and heights increase later in the day and the
    thunderstorm threat likely wanes.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Little thunderstorm activity is forecast across the contiguous
    states on Saturday. An isolated weak thunderstorm cannot be ruled
    out near the ArkLaTex.

    ...Synopsis...
    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.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough will move across the eastern U.S. on Sunday,
    as an upper-level ridge moves into the Great Plains. A large surface
    high will keep the airmass relatively dry across much of the eastern
    half of the nation. In the west, a shortwave trough will approach
    the Pacific Northwest coast. Ahead of this feature, strong
    large-scale ascent and steep lapse rates should be sufficient for
    isolated thunderstorm development along the coast of Oregon and
    Washington from Sunday afternoon into the evening and overnight. No
    severe threat is expected on Sunday or Sunday night across the
    continental United States.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain likely across parts of
    the coastal Pacific Northwest, the Four Corners region, and across
    the Great Lakes tomorrow (Monday). No severe weather is expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad mid-level trough will amplify across the western and central
    CONUS, supporting broad surface lee troughing and accompanying
    low-level moisture return across the Plains and MS Valleys tomorrow
    (Monday). Cooler temperatures aloft, combined with strong synoptic
    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.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER MISSOURI
    VALLEY AND WESTERN OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with large hail and severe wind gusts, are
    expected on Wednesday across the southern and central Plains
    extending eastward into the lower to mid Mississippi Valley and
    Ozarks.

    ...Southern and Central Plains/Lower to Mid Missouri Valley/Mid to
    Upper Mississippi Valley/Ozarks...
    An upper-level trough will move across the Desert Southwest on
    Wednesday, as a fetch of southwesterly mid-level flow remains over
    the Great Plains and mid to upper Mississippi Valley. The trough is
    forecast to reach the southern High Plains by late Wednesday
    afternoon as an associated mid-level jet translates northeastward
    into the central Plains. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward across the central Plains and lower to mid Missouri
    Valley on Wednesday. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints will be
    in the 60s F, with weak instability developing by afternoon over
    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.

    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.

    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.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LOWER FL KEYS...

    ...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.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL TO
    NORTH TX...

    ...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.

    A shortwave trough and its attendant surface cyclone over the Upper

    by early morning Monday. A surface front, trailing southwestward,
    will sink slowly southeast over the OH Valley to Mid-South and

    warm/moist conveyor will support a threat for elevated thunderstorms
    from the Mid-South to the OH Valley. Surface-based storms will be
    possible southwestward to the western/central Gulf Coast. Poor lapse
    rates, weak buoyancy, and diminishing vertical shear will preclude
    severe storms.

    Across south FL, as moisture increases within a southeasterly
    low-level flow regime, isolated thunderstorms will be possible
    Sunday night.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected Monday or Monday night.

    ...Southeast...
    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
    entirely offshore around midday.

    A few thunderstorms embedded within a corridor of slow-moving
    convection will be possible along a portion of the central Gulf
    Coast, before activity gradually wanes during the day. Isolated
    thunderstorms may also develop across a portion of south FL during
    the afternoon.

    ...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.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHWEST
    TX TO FAR SOUTHWEST KS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe hail will be possible in parts of the southern
    High/Rolling Plains on Tuesday evening.

    ...Southern High/Rolling Plains...
    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
    surface dew points should reach the TX Panhandle by 00Z, with upper
    50s farther south in west TX. This should yield a narrow ribbon of
    weak buoyancy (MLCAPE around 500 J/kg), ahead of a sharpening
    surface trough.

    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.

    ...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.

    ...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.

    A deepening cyclone initially centered near the NC Outer Banks on

    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.

    Plains northeastward into the western Great Lakes, but no severe
    threat is expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level low will move into the Dakotas on Saturday, as
    southwesterly mid-level flow remains in place across the much of the
    Great Plains and Mississippi Valley. Thunderstorm development will
    be possible from the afternoon into the overnight within a broad a
    corridor of strong low-level flow from Kansas northeastward into the
    upper Great Lakes. Instability is expected to be minimal, and a
    severe threat is not expected across the continental U.S. Saturday
    and Saturday night.

    ...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.

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

    ...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.

    A few thunderstorms are possible along the Pacific Northwest Coast

    ...Synopsis...
    A large, deep upper low will exist over the northeast Friday
    morning, and will gradually weaken as it drifts east through the
    period. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will slowly shift east from 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.

    Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the CONUS Saturday.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Saturday, a large upper trough will move out of the northeastern
    states, with a weak upper ridge moving across the Plains and toward
    the MS Valley. To the west, a large upper trough will continue
    eastward across the Great Basin and much of the central and northern
    Rockies. A lead wave will likely pivot northeastward toward the
    Dakotas late.

    At the surface, a large area of high pressure will exist from the
    southern Plains into the Southeast, maintaining stable conditions.
    Low pressure will exist ahead of a cold front from the eastern Great
    Basin into the northern High Plains by late in the day.

    A low chance of a few lightning flashes may exist along the coastal
    Pacific Northwest where cold temperatures aloft may result in weak
    buoyancy. Otherwise, minimal activity will be possible over parts of
    central ID and vicinity as lapse rates steepen.

    On Sunday, an upper trough will depart the northeastern states as an

    states and into the Plains. This feature will phase with an upper
    low/trough extending from southern SK/MB into the northern Plains,
    with ridging over the East.

    A low pressure trough will exist ahead of the cold front from the
    upper MS Valley into the southern High Plains around 00Z, extending
    from Lower MI into northern TX by 12Z Monday.

    Ahead of this front, southerly winds will result in a batch of low
    60s F dewpoints from eastern TX toward AR, but the air mass should
    remain capped with little of any convection along the intersecting
    cold front.

    Elsewhere, cool air aloft will remain over much of the northwestern
    states, with little if any instability to support thunderstorms.

    ...SUMMARY...
    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.

    Thunderstorm potential appears low on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Thunderstorm chances will be minimal across the CONUS on Tuesday, as
    a negative-tilt shortwave trough moves into Quebec, and a cold front
    progresses across the remainder of the Southeast.

    Showers may linger along the front from the southern Appalachians to
    the Mid Atlantic Tuesday morning, and a lighting flash or two cannot
    be ruled out over the southern AL to GA portion of the front.
    However, any convection should be short lived.

    Behind this initial system, the flow regime will become zonal into
    Wed morning, though a new trough may start to amplify across the
    Four Corners states. At that time, instability sufficient for
    thunderstorms appears unlikely.

    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

    A few thunderstorms are possible from East Texas into the ArkLaMiss
    on Wednesday. No severe thunderstorms are expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    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.

    ...Synopsis...
    A cold front will sharpen and advance south into the Gulf of Mexico
    during the day Thursday. A few thunderstorms are possible along the
    Louisiana coast where some mid 60s dewpoints and marginal
    instability will be present before the front moves offshore. The
    front is expected to stall across far South Texas where isolated
    thunderstorms will be possible during the day and perhaps into the
    overnight hours as weak ascent arrives ahead of an approaching
    mid-level trough.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible from southeast New
    Mexico to central Texas. No severe thunderstorms are expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Friday, a mid-level trough will slowly drift eastward along the Arizona/Mexico border. Stronger mid-level flow will round the base
    of this trough Friday afternoon and emerge into the southern Plains
    Friday night and early Saturday. Some moisture return will occur
    above the surface front which will result in weak instability across
    Texas and perhaps into southeast New Mexico. As stronger mid-level
    flow emerges across the southern Plains, isolated to scattered
    elevated thunderstorms are possible from southeast New Mexico and
    Far West Texas, to parts of central Texas. However, weak instability
    should keep any severe weather threat limited.

    ...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.

    ...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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    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.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    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.

    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
    to low/mid 60s F dewpoints are expected across south/east TX into
    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
    approaches the coast. Severe storms are not currently expected given
    the limited buoyancy.

    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.
