    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated general thunderstorms are possible Saturday over the
    Tennessee Valley to southern Appalachians, and also across parts of
    the Upper Midwest.

    ...Synopsis...
    Some deamplification of the upper-level pattern is expected on
    Saturday, with a transition to more zonal flow across much of the
    western and central CONUS. A large-scale upper trough will remain in
    place across much of the East, with a weak embedded shortwave
    expected to move from the Mid MS Valley toward the Southeast.

    ...TN Valley into parts of GA and the Carolinas...
    A weak front that moves into the region late D2/Friday is forecast
    to stall and potentially become rather ill-defined with time, as a
    surface low deepens well to the northwest across the north-central
    Plains. A remnant moisture/instability gradient is still depicted by
    guidance to be draped from TN into the southern Appalachians and SC
    by Saturday afternoon. Modest destabilization (with MLCAPE
    potentially approaching 1000 J/kg) will be possible along/south of
    the remnant boundary, and isolated storm development may occur as
    the weakening shortwave trough moves across the region.

    Deep-layer shear will generally remain rather modest within the weak northwest-flow regime, and storm coverage may tend to remain limited
    due to weak large-scale ascent. As a result, confidence in an
    organized-severe threat is currently too low for probabilities,
    though isolated strong storms with localized hail and/or wind-damage
    potential cannot be ruled out, and a Marginal Risk may eventually be
    needed for parts of the region.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Saturday afternoon across
    portions of the Florida peninsula, but the potential for severe
    thunderstorms is low.

    ...Synopsis...
    Dry and stable conditions will be prevalent across much of the CONUS
    as a broad region of high pressure builds over the eastern Plains/OH
    Valley in the wake of a strong frontal passage during the D2/Friday
    to early D3/Saturday period. This front is forecast to reside across
    the northern Gulf and into the northern FL peninsula by 12 UTC
    Saturday, and will continue to migrate south through the day before
    stalling over south FL during the evening/overnight hours. Although
    forcing for ascent should steadily diminish given the frontolytic
    nature of the boundary, weak low-level ascent within a moist and
    weakly capped environment may support a few thunderstorms.
    Displacement from stronger flow aloft will limit storm organization
    and longevity, which should preclude organized convection. Based on extended-range RRFS and MPAS solutions, as well as ensemble QPF
    signals, the best potential for thunderstorms should emerge across
    the Lake Okeechobee vicinity and areas westward to the FL Gulf
    coast.

    ...Synopsis...

    Northwesterly flow aloft will deamplify as an upper trough moves
    offshore the eastern U.S. on Saturday. At the surface, a cold front
    will extend across the northern Gulf into the FL Peninsula Saturday
    morning. As the front develops southward through the day, isolated thunderstorms are possible across portions of the central/southern
    FL Peninsula. Modest instability and weak vertical shear will
    preclude severe thunderstorm potential. Elsewhere, a dry and stable
    airmass will reside across much of the CONUS in the wake of the
    prior cold frontal passage.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A marginal wind-damage threat is expected to develop on Sunday from
    eastern North Carolina into far southeast Virginia and far southern
    Maryland.

    ...Eastern North Carolina/Far Southeast Virginia/Far Southern
    Maryland...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward into the Ohio and Tennessee
    Valleys on Sunday, as a cold front advances southeastward through
    the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas. Ahead of the front, surface
    dewpoints will be in the lower to mid 60s F. Weak instability will
    develop ahead of the front during the day, with thunderstorms
    forming and moving eastward toward the Atlantic Coast. A marginal
    severe threat may develop across parts of eastern North Carolina,
    far southeast Virginia and far southern Maryland, where deep-layer
    shear may be strong enough for multicells with isolated severe
    gusts. The threat should be maximized in the mid to late afternoon
    when low-level lapse rates will be steepest.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY ACROSS
    PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the southern Mid Atlantic
    Coast vicinity Sunday, accompanied by at least some risk for
    damaging wind gusts.

    ...Discussion...
    Latest model output suggests that a broad, deep occluded surface
    cyclone may deepen at least a bit further while migrating
    east-northeastward across Quebec during this period. Renewed
    cyclogenesis appears possible across the Canadian Maritimes by
    Sunday evening, with a trailing cold front advancing offshore of the
    northern through middle Atlantic coast by early Monday, while
    slowing/stalling across parts of northern Florida.

    Pre-frontal boundary-layer destabilization, where deep-layer mean
    flow and shear appears sufficient to support convective
    organization, is forecast to remain weak, due to generally weak
    tropospheric lapse rates. It appears that this may become focused
    along lee surface troughing across and east of the Carolina
    Piedmont, perhaps as far north as a developing low/frontal wave
    across south central Virginia into the southern Delmarva Peninsula
    by late Sunday afternoon.

    Forcing for ascent, downstream of a short wave impulse progressing
    through the base of approaching larger-scale mid-level troughing, is
    likely to aid convective development, with sheared, 30-50 kt south-southwesterly flow in the 850-500 mb layer contributing
    convective organization with potential to produce damaging wind
    gusts. A narrow broken squall line may evolve, with perhaps
    embedded supercell structures which could also pose the risk for a
    tornado or two while spreading toward coastal areas by early Sunday
    evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    ARKANSAS INTO INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Potential for a widespread damaging wind event along with a few
    tornadoes exists from Sunday afternoon through Sunday night from
    northeast Texas to southwest Lower Michigan. The greatest threat
    appears to be from northeast Arkansas into Indiana during the
    evening and overnight hours.

    ...Discussion...
    On Sunday, a powerful upper trough will move across the Plains
    during the day, with a strong midlevel speed max nosing into MO by
    00Z. Shortly thereafter and over the next 12 hours, the trough will
    rapidly deepen, with an intense mid and high level jet developing
    across AR, MO, IL and IN.

    At the surface, low pressure is forecast to move across northern MO
    and into IL, with a prominent cold front extending southwestward
    across MO western AR, and northeast TX. Low-level moisture quality
    will gradually improve throughout the period, with mid 50s F into
    southern MO by 00Z and as far north as IN and OH by 12Z Monday
    morning.

    Initial activity will occur along the cold front during the late
    afternoon where instability will be strongest, perhaps as high as
    1000 J/kg from AR into TX. It should be noted that substantial
    variability exists among models regarding instability and capping,
    though strong ascent near the front should mitigate these factors.
    Hail and damaging gusts may occur with the late afternoon activity.

    Of greatest concern is potential for a severe squall line capable of
    widespread wind damage, along with a few tornadoes, developing
    during the evening across northeast AR, southeast MO, much of
    southern IL, central and southern IN, western KY and TN. The shear
    environment will be rapidly increasing during this time, and while
    forecast soundings show low levels of instability, it will be more
    than sufficient to sustain a strongly forced QLCS, producing
    corridors of significant wind damage and a few embedded tornadoes.
    Southerly winds at 850 mb along the front may exceed 70 kt, with a
    very strong frontal surge out of the west.

    The envelope of greatest threat will likely shift in later outlooks
    as the event nears and predictability increases.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TO THE OHIO VALLEY....

    ...SUMMARY...
    A widespread damaging wind event with some tornado threat is likely
    on late Sunday afternoon through Sunday night from northeast Texas
    to southwest Lower Michigan. The greatest wind threat appears to be
    from northeast Arkansas/western Tennessee to southern Indiana during
    the evening and overnight hours.

    ...Synopsis...
    A 100+ knot mid-level jet will lead to rapid amplification as it
    rounds the base of the mid-level trough across the Central Plains on
    Sunday. As the associated surface cyclone moves northeastward
    through the day, strong low-level moisture transport will occur
    across the warm sector. This will result in weak to potentially
    moderate instability ahead of the cold front Sunday afternoon. This
    cold front will accelerate east-southeastward from the Midwest to
    the Mid-Mississippi Valley during the afternoon and from Ohio to
    western Georgia/eastern Alabama by Monday morning.

    ....Ohio Valley...
    Despite dewpoints only increasing to the mid to upper 50s, a very
    favorable kinematic environment will be in place with a 70 knot
    low-level jet and nearly 125 knot mid-level jet by Monday morning.
    Given this wind field, any instability, combined with the strong
    frontal forcing, will be sufficient for a powerful QLCS during the
    evening and overnight hours. This squall line will likely have
    widespread 60+ mph wind gusts with some stronger 75+ mph wind gusts
    possible.

    In addition, very long hodographs with 200+ m2/s2 0-500m SRH will
    support a threat for line-embedded tornadoes, some of which could be
    strong. Additionally, the strong shear may also allow for some
    embedded supercells, also depicted by the 12Z RRFS, which also may
    lead to a locally greater tornado threat. Pre-frontal development
    cannot be ruled out, especially from northeast Arkansas to southern
    Illinois at the nose of the 500mb jet and the northern extent of the
    richer low-level moisture. This scenario is more uncertain, but
    could pose a greater tornado threat if it were to materialize.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley to the Southeast...
    The squall line will form during the afternoon, perhaps with some
    initial supercell/hail threat across Arkansas and northeast Texas
    and then move northeastward through the overnight period. The
    strongest low-mid level wind field will remain north of this region,
    however, greater instability will compensate and should maintain the
    damaging squall line through the overnight hours. The greatest STP
    values within the entire risk area are forecast (by the 12Z NAM)
    between 03Z and 12Z from western Tennessee to central Mississippi
    and northwest Alabama. Therefore, expect a QLCS tornado threat to
    accompany the damaging wind threat through the overnight and early
    morning period.

    ...FL/AL Coast...
    Toward the end of the period, richer low-level moisture will begin
    to move inland across the FL Panhandle into southern Alabama. Within
    this zone, discrete convection may develop after 08Z. If this were
    to occur, strong shear would support supercells capable of
    tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected on Sunday afternoon and evening
    across parts of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Ohio Valley/Mid Mississippi Valley...
    A mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move southeastward into
    the upper Mississippi Valley on Sunday. Ahead of the trough, a cold
    front will advance southward into the Ohio Valley. As surface
    temperatures warm during the day, moderate instability is forecast
    to develop across much of the Ohio Valley. Increasing low-level
    convergence along the front during the afternoon will help
    thunderstorms to initiate, with storms increasing in coverage in the
    late afternoon and early evening. A large area of storms is expected
    to form along a corridor from southern Illinois east-northeastward
    into west-central Pennsylvania. Some of these storms will likely
    have a severe threat.

    Late afternoon forecast soundings in the Ohio Valley near
    Cincinnati, Ohio have MLCAPE increasing to near 1800 J/kg with 0-6
    km shear in the 45 to 50 knot range. In addition, 700-500 mb lapse
    rates are forecast to be in the 7 to 7.5 C/km range. This
    environment should support supercells with large hail. The greatest
    hail threat may occur somewhat early in the event, when cells are
    more likely be discrete. A wind-damage threat is also expected, and
    could increase as storms congeal into a line during the early
    evening. A more isolated severe threat could develop further to the
    southwest into the mid Mississippi Valley during the late afternoon
    and early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected on Sunday afternoon and evening
    across parts of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Ohio Valley vicinity...

    Westerly mid/upper flow will amplify on Sunday as a shortwave trough
    deepens across the Great Lakes to the central Appalachians. As this
    occurs, a 60-80 kt southwesterly jet max will overspread the Ohio
    Valley by late afternoon. Around midday, a cold front will extend
    southwest from Lakes Ontario and Erie into northern IN/central
    IL/MO. This front will progress southeast through the period,
    becoming oriented from the Mid-Atlantic coast to the Lower MS Valley
    by Monday morning. Boundary-layer moisture is forecast to remain
    somewhat modest across the warm sector ahead of the front (mid 50s
    to near 60 F). However, steep midlevel lapse rates are noted in
    forecast soundings, and model guidance depicts 500 mb temperatures
    around -14 to -16 C at 00z. This should support MLCAPE from 500-2000
    J/kg.

    While forecast wind profiles are generally unidirectional, rapidly
    increasing wind speeds with height will result in modestly
    enlarged/curved low-level hodographs becoming elongated above 2-3
    km, with effective shear magnitudes 40+ kt. However, the warm sector
    is expected to largely remain capped. Low-level frontal convergence
    will be the main forcing mechanism as large-scale ascent will arrive
    with the front or perhaps delayed behind the front during the
    evening. While shear profiles could support supercells, it is
    unclear if capping and broad ascent will limit supercell potential,
    especially with southwest extent into the Lower Ohio Valley and
    Mid-South vicinity. If supercells can develop and persist, large
    hail and damaging winds are possible. Once linear convection
    develops, severe/damaging wind gust will become the main hazard.
    Tornado potential is more uncertain given concerns regarding
    low-level moisture, capping, and storm mode/evolution, but a tornado
    or two cannot be ruled out.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the southern Florida

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper-level ridge (currently in place over the Southwest) is
    forecast to shift east over the Plains through the day Sunday.
    Broad-scale subsidence/height rises ahead of the ridge will promote
    mostly dry and stable conditions for the central and eastern CONUS. Thunderstorm potential will most likely be relegated to the southern
    FL peninsula where weak ascent within a residual frontal zone (aided
    by diurnally-drive sea breeze boundaries) may support a few
    thunderstorms within a moist and weakly capped environment. While
    confidence is lower, isolated convection appears possible across
    parts of southern Arizona late Sunday afternoon where modest
    low-level moisture advection, coupled with ample daytime heating,
    steep mid-level lapse rates, and weak ascent from a mid-level
    impulse may support high-based convection. Based on forecast
    thermodynamic profiles, conditions may be supportive of strong
    downburst winds. However, confidence in storm coverage and the
    severe wind potential is too low for highlights.

    Quasi-zonal flow is forecast across the CONUS on Sunday while a

    thunderstorm potential. The exception will be across portions of the
    FL Peninsula and Keys. A seasonally moist airmass will persist near
    a decaying frontal boundary. Strong heating will support weak

    breeze interactions or the residual frontal boundary. A few
    thunderstorms also will be possible across the far southern
    AZ/southwest NM vicinity where steep midlevel lapse rates atop
    warm/moist advection in lower levels will support sufficient
    destabilization. A weak shortwave impulse will migrate across the
    region during the late afternoon/evening and could provide enough
    ascent for a few thunderstorms. Severe storms are not expected.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected on Monday in
    south-central Florida and over parts of the Desert Southwest, but no
    severe threat is forecast.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough and an associated mid-level jet streak will
    move across the Great Lakes on Monday, as a cold front advances
    southward into northern Florida. To the south of the front,
    scattered thunderstorms are expected to form within a moist airmass
    over the southern and central Florida Peninsula during the
    afternoon. Deep-layer shear is forecast to be near or below 20
    knots, suggesting the storms will remain below severe limits.
    Additional thunderstorms are expected to form in the Desert
    Southwest. No severe threat is forecast across the continental U.S.
    Monday and Monday night.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected on Monday across
    the Florida Peninsula and over parts of the Desert Southwest, but no
    severe threat is forecast.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper trough will persist across the eastern U.S. on Monday. At
    the surface, a cold front draped across northern FL will sag
    southward. A seasonally warm/moist airmass ahead of the front will
    support weak destabilization. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms
    are expected to develop during the afternoon across the FL
    Peninsula. Weak vertical shear and poor lapse rates will preclude
    severe thunderstorm potential. Additional isolated weak
    thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Southwest as an
    upper shortwave trough traverses the region.

    ...Carolinas/Georgia...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward to near the Eastern
    Seaboard on Monday. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to move
    through the Carolinas, and should be positioned from central Georgia
    into central South Carolina by Monday afternoon. Ahead of the front,
    surface dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s F will contribute
    to weak destabilization. Isolated thunderstorms are expected to
    develop near the front and move east-southeastward toward the
    Atlantic coast during the mid to late afternoon. 0-6 km shear in the
    30 to 35 knot range, along with steep low-level lapse rates may be
    enough for a marginal wind-damage threat.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible on Monday across parts
    of the Carolinas and Georgia.

    ...Parts of the Carolinas and Georgia...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough initially near the lower Great
    Lakes region is forecast to move offshore of New England by Monday
    night. In the wake of this shortwave, a cold front will continue
    moving southward across parts of the Carolinas and Southeast. Along
    and south of the front, heating and modest low-level moisture (with
    dewpoints in the 50s to near 60 F) will result in some diurnal
    destabilization, with MLCAPE potentially increasing into the
    500-1000 J/kg range.

    With generally limited frontal convergence and only weak to modest
    large-scale ascent, storm coverage may remain isolated near/south of
    the front. Modest west-northwesterly mid/upper-level flow will
    provide sufficient deep-layer shear for some storm organization, if
    any robust updrafts can be sustained. Isolated hail and/or
    strong/damaging gusts could occur with the strongest storms, though
    coverage appears limited at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF THE
    UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND LAKE MICHIGAN VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions
    of the upper Mississippi River Valley and Lake Michigan vicinity
    late Monday night into early Tuesday morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    Zonal flow over the central to northern Rockies is forecast to
    increase over the next 48-72 hours as an upper ridge shifts towards
    the Southeast and a low-amplitude upper wave begins to translate
    along the U.S./Canadian border. Lee cyclone development is
    anticipated across the northern High Plains by early Monday with
    steady intensification expected as it migrates east ahead of the
    upper wave. The deepening surface low will promote northward
    moisture return through the MS Valley and into the upper Great Lakes
    region while eastward advection of 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates
    takes place aloft. Thunderstorm development appears probable
    overnight across the upper MS Valley and upper Great Lakes region as
    isentropic ascent increases along the tightening warm frontal zone
    of the cyclone.

    Elsewhere, more isolated thunderstorms are possible along the
    western FL Gulf coast where sea-breeze ascent within a moist and
    weakly capped environment should support a few thunderstorms.
    Similarly, isolated convection is possible across parts of the lower
    MS Valley within a plume of rich low-level moisture. Another day of
    isolated, high-based thunderstorms is expected across portions of
    the Southwest. Weak deep-layer wind shear across these regions will
    limit severe thunderstorm potential.

    ....Upper MS Valley/Lake Michigan...
    The combination of low-level moistening and steepening lapse rates
    aloft will support steady destabilization through Monday and into
    Monday night. Model consensus is that 1500-2000 J/kg MUCAPE should
    be in place by Monday evening across the southern WI region.
    Initially dry and capped low-level profiles will likely preclude
    thunderstorm development during the day, though increasing ascent
    within the 925-850 mb warm frontal zone should increase thunderstorm
    chances during the 00-06 UTC period. While elevated convection
    appears likely, hodograph elongation through the CAPE-bearing layer
    should support storm organization, including the potential for a
    supercell or two. Although storm motions along the frontal zone hint
    that some degree of clustering is probable, at least a localized
    hail threat should materialize given the favorable buoyancy/shear
    environment.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    IOWA INTO LOWER MICHIGAN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions
    of the upper Mississippi River Valley to Lower Michigan late Monday
    night into early Tuesday morning.

    ...Discussion...
    A progressive low-amplitude shortwave trough will move across the
    northern Rockies and into the northern Plains Monday into Tuesday
    morning, with cooling aloft spreading into the upper MS Valley/Great
    Lakes late. Ahead of this feature, low pressure will develop over
    the northern Plains during the day, translating east across IA and
    toward WI overnight and into Tuesday morning.

    East of the developing low, a quasi-stationary front will extend
    across southern MN into central WI and northern Lower MI, with
    little northward progress. Southerly winds across the warm sector
    will persist through the period and bring mid 50s F dewpoints
    northward toward the surface front. Much of the day looks to be
    capped, but increasing lift after 00Z along with persistent
    moistening from the southwest will result in elevated instability,
    possibly extending as far northern WI/Lower MI. Deep-layer shear
    will favor hail.

    A conditional risk of a few severe storms may also develop south of
    the boundary from eastern IA into northern IL as the low-level jet
    increases during the evening. In addition to hail, the warm/dry
    sub-cloud layer would favor potential damaging gusts with any
    cluster of storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO KANSAS AND THE MID-MISSOURI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for large hail and strong wind gusts is expected
    to develop on Thursday in parts of the lower to mid Missouri Valley
    westward into KS, and southward across the southern High Plains.

    ...Synopsis...

    A mid/upper shortwave trough embedded within larger-scale troughing
    across the northern U.S. will pivot eastward across the northern
    Plains to the Upper Midwest on Thursday. Meanwhile, low-amplitude
    upper ridging over the West will meander eastward toward the
    Rockies. At the surface, a boundary will be oriented west to east
    across northern KS and northern MO while a surface dryline extends south/southwest across western KS into western TX. Neutral height
    tendencies across the southern Plains will preclude stronger surface cyclogenesis, but weak lee surface troughing is forecast across the
    High Plains.

    ...Central Plains to Mid-MO Valley...

    Boundary layer moisture will remain modest across the warm sector,
    with surface dewpoints generally in the 50s F. Nevertheless, steep
    midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8.5 C/km will support MUCAPE to
    around 1000-1500 J/kg near the west to east surface front.
    Vertically veering wind profiles, with 40-50 kt flow through much of
    the cloud bearing layer will support supercell wind profiles with
    effective shear greater than 40 kt. Large-scale ascent is forecast
    to remain modest, with the main midlevel shortwave passing to the
    north of the area. However, convergence along the boundary and
    continued warm advection into the evening as a low-level jet
    increases should be sufficient for scattered thunderstorm
    development. Isolated large hail will be possible with this activity
    from late afternoon into the evening.

    ...Southern High Plains...

    A more conditional severe thunderstorm environment will exist
    further south along the dryline across western TX toward southwest
    KS. Strong heating and mixing along the boundary, and low-level
    convergence may be sufficient for a few storms developing by
    evening. Steep midlevel lapse rates will support MLCAPE to around
    1000-1500 J/kg. Vertical shear will remain modest, generally less
    than 25 kt effective shear magnitudes. Isolated large hail will be
    possible with any stronger cells that can develop and be maintained. Additionally, a well mixed boundary-layer and inverted-v sub-cloud
    layer thermodynamic profiles suggest locally strong wind gusts also
    may be possible.

    OF KANSAS INTO FAR SOUTHERN NEBRASKA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail will be possible in parts of
    the central Plains Wednesday evening.

    ...Central Plains...

    A compact upper trough/low will move from the northern Plains to the
    Great Lakes on Wednesday. At the surface, low pressure will shift
    from southern Manitoba to near James Bay in Ontario. A trailing cold
    front will develop southeast across the Upper Midwest and central
    Plains. Boundary-layer moisture will remain limited due to
    persistent surface high pressure across the East, cutting off
    stronger Gulf moisture return. Nevertheless, cold temperatures aloft
    (around -15 C at 500 mb) will support steep midlevel lapse rates and
    weak instability in a corridor along/just ahead of the cold front
    across the central Plains.

    Isolated thunderstorms are forecast near the front during the
    evening. Vertical shear will be somewhat weak through 6 km, but
    effective shear magnitudes around 25-30 kt is evident in forecast
    soundings. Furthermore, strong west/northwesterly flow through the
    top half of the cloud-bearing layer will result in
    lengthened/straight hodographs. A deep, well-mixed boundary layer is
    also forecast. This environment marginally supports a few strong to
    severe storms capable of producing locally strong gusts, and perhaps
    marginally severe hail if updrafts can be sustained.

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for large hail and severe wind gusts is expected
    to develop on Thursday in parts of the lower to mid Missouri Valley
    westward into the central Plains. Isolated severe storms with hail
    may also develop in the southern High Plains.

    ...Central Plains/Lower to Mid Missouri Valley...
    A mid-levels, a broad cyclonic flow pattern will be in place on
    Thursday over much of the northern U.S., with westerly flow in the
    central states. At the surface, a slow moving front is forecast to
    remain over western and northern Kansas extending eastward into
    northern Missouri. The front will be a focus for convection during
    the afternoon and evening, with scattered thunderstorms becoming
    likely. NAM forecast soundings near the front by early evening have
    MUCAPE ranging from around 2500 J/kg in north-central Kansas to
    around 1200 J/kg in northern Missouri. Effective shear along much of
    this east-to-west corridor is forecast to be from 35 to 45 knots,
    with 700-500 mb lapse rates of 7 to 8 C/km. This should support a
    marginal severe threat. Supercells with isolated large hail and
    strong wind gusts will be possible.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    An upper-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the
    Intermountain West on Thursday, as westerly mid-level flow remains
    in place over the south-central U.S. At the surface, a moist airmass
    will be located across the southern Plains. A dryline is forecast to
    develop over west Texas by Thursday afternoon. Although large-scale
    ascent will remain weak, low-level convergence near the dryline may
    be enough for isolated convective initiation. Model forecasts
    suggest that an axis of moderate instability will be in place to the
    east of the dryline by afternoon, with MLCAPE in the 1200 to 1500
    J/kg range. In addition, steep mid-level lapse rates will be in
    place. This should support an isolated large hail threat with any
    cells that can initiate, in spite of the limited forcing.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    THE TX AND OK PANHANDLES ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS...NORTHERN
    OKLAHOMA...AND TOWARD THE OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts will be
    possible on Friday over parts of the southern and central Plains
    eastward into the Ozarks.

    ...Discussion...
    On Friday, an upper trough will move from the Great Lakes into the
    Northeast, with temporary upper ridging over the Plains in advance
    of a large upper trough moving across the West. At the surface, high
    pressure will exist over the northern Plains to upper MS Valley,
    with a cold front roughly from the KS/OK border into central MO, and
    extending northeastward toward the Lower Great Lakes. This front
    will become nearly stationary during the day over the Plains, and
    will return north overnight as warm front across KS/MO.

    Beneath the upper ridge, potential will exist for scattered
    thunderstorms along the frontal zone at various times of the day.
    Early day storms will be possible from eastern KS into MO and
    possibly northern OK, as the Thursday night activity persists into
    Friday morning with the aid of a southwesterly low-level jet and
    outflows. This activity could pose strong gust potential before
    weakening midday.

    Additional storms will be possible along the east-west front as
    heating occurs to the south of it (and any outflows). Though the
    large-scale pattern will not favor significant coverage of severe
    storms, isolated strong to severe storms may develop as the air mass
    becomes uncapped. Slow-moving severe storms producing large hail
    appear most likely across the northern TX to OK Panhandles into
    southern KS and northwest OK, in closer proximity to the steeper
    lapse rates aloft. Overall, shear will be marginal, but a stationary
    storm may briefly show supercell characteristics given the veering
    winds with height, producing large hail and isolated damaging gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe wind gusts will be
    possible on Saturday across parts of west Texas and far eastern New
    Mexico. A marginal severe threat will also be possible across parts
    of the central Plains and mid Missouri Valley.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Mid-level southwesterly flow will gradually strengthen across the
    south-central U.S. on Saturday, as a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    moves northeastward into the southern High Plains. At the surface, a
    moist airmass will be in place over much of southern and central
    Plains, with surface dewpoints from the mid 50s to mid 60s F. A
    surface trough over far eastern New Mexico will be a focus for
    convective development as surface temperatures warm during the day.
    Large-scale ascent associated with the shortwave trough will support
    scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening over much
    of the southern High Plains. MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 1200
    to 1500 J/kg range over west Texas, where 0-3 km lapse rates should
    reach 7.5 and 8 C/km in the late afternoon. This will be favorable
    for severe wind gusts. In addition, 0-6 km shear is forecast to be
    between 30 and 40 knots over much of the southern High Plains
    suggesting that supercells with large hail will be possible. Severe
    threat coverage may peak in the early to mid evening, especially if
    an MCS can organize over parts of west-central Texas.

    ...Central Plains/Mid Missouri Valley...
    An upper-level ridge will move eastward into the mid to upper
    Mississippi Valley Saturday afternoon, as southwesterly mid-level
    flow becomes established over much of the north-central U.S. At the
    surface, a trough will deepen during the day across the central High
    Plains, with moisture advection continuing over the central Plains
    and Missouri Valley. Weak instability is expected to develop over
    much of this airmass by afternoon. Although large-scale ascent will
    remain limited, isolated thunderstorms will be possible in areas
    where low-level convergence and surface heating become maximized.
    Model forecasts suggest that enough deep-layer shear will be in
    place for a marginal severe threat, with hail and isolated severe
    gusts possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF WEST
    TEXAS AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms, some producing hail and strong gusts, will
    be possible on Saturday across parts of west Texas and eastern New
    Mexico. Isolated strong storms cannot be ruled out affecting parts
    of central California.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low will swing southeastward into central/northern CA late
    on Saturday, providing lift and widespread precipitation. To the
    east, an upper ridge will be located over the MS Valley during the
    day, and this will shift east toward the Appalachians by 12Z Sunday.
    In between these features, a broad zone of modest southwest flow
    aloft will encompass the Rockies and Plains states.

    At the surface, a large area of high pressure will exist over the
    eastern states, with gusty south winds helping to bring 50s to 60s F
    dewpoints across TX and OK. A lee trough over the High Plains will
    be a focus for afternoon storm development, where shear may support
    areas of severe storms. Elsewhere, low pressure will also affect
    parts of central CA, moving ashore late in the day. This may also
    focus a few strong storms.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Low pressure will deepen over the northern and central High Plains,
    with gusty south winds bringing 50s F dewpoints as far north as NE
    by 00Z. Southeasterly surface winds will also bring moisture
    westward across west TX and into eastern NM. Here, strong heating
    and a lack of cap will result in scattered to numerous thunderstorms
    during the afternoon. Shear will not be strong, with only 25-35 kt
    southwest winds at 500 mb. Some storms may produce hail, and several
    storms or clusters may propagate eastward through the night with
    areas of strong to severe gusts possible.

    A separate area from northeast CO into KS and western NE may support
    a few severe cells producing hail as well, as this area will
    experience stronger heating near the deepening surface trough, and
    with locally backed surface winds.

    ...Central CA...
    Strong cooling aloft will occur during the afternoon and evening as
    the upper low moves toward the area. Weak instability will develop
    as lapse rates aloft steepen, though just a few hundred J/kg MUCAPE
    is currently forecast. Isolated cells may occur in the central
    valley late in the afternoon, and, along a cold front as it
    approaches the central coast. Gusty winds and perhaps small hail
    will be possible. Severe potential is more uncertain three days out,
    but the setup will continue to be monitored in later outlooks.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF KANSAS...OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from the southern and
    central Plains into the Upper Midwest on Sunday.

    ...Central/Southern Plains to the Upper Midwest...

    An upper trough will slowly pivot east across the western U.S. on
    Sunday. Low-amplitude, broad southwesterly flow will persist
    downstream of the western trough across much of the rest of the U.S.
    A weak upper shortwave trough is forecast to move across the Upper
    Midwest through midday before weakening over the Great Lakes during
    the afternoon. At the surface, weak troughing will extend from MN
    into NE and southward across western KS/OK/TX. Low 60s F dewpoints
    will be in place east of the surface trough from TX into IA/IL/WI.

    Quite a bit of uncertainty exists for the Day 3 period and forecast
    confidence is fairly low. Precipitation will likely be ongoing
    across portions of OK/TX, and possibly northward into KS and the
    Upper Midwest as a continuation of Day 2 overnight storms and
    persistent warm advection. A weak shortwave impulse over the
    southern Plains Sunday morning will quickly shift northeast through
    midday. It is unclear how this may impact destabilization later in
    the day. In the wake of the morning shortwave, large-scale ascent
    will remain nebulous. Furthermore, the upper shortwave trough moving
    across the northern Plains to the Upper Midwest may be ill-timed
    with peak heating, and may lead to subsidence across the region
    during the afternoon in the wake of this feature.

    Nevertheless, some severe risk, albeit conditional, will be possible
    across portions of the central/southern Plains, likely focused along
    the surface trough/dryline from central KS into western OK and
    portions of western/north TX. Supercell vertical wind profiles are
    evident in forecast soundings, with weak capping noted just above
    850 mb. Steep lapse rates above this layer will be supported by cool temperatures aloft, and MLCAPE values could climb to near 2000 J/kg.
    Storm coverage is uncertain, but if storms can develop and become
    sustained, all severe hazards will be possible.

    A conditional supercell environment will also exist across the Upper
    Midwest ahead of a surface low, though severe risk will depend on
    timing of the aforementioned upper shortwave trough. Given
    uncertainty, will introduce low severe probabilities (level 1 of 5)
    and trends will be monitored.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS...WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO
    CENTRAL TEXAS....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from the southern and
    central Plains into the Upper Midwest on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Sunday, a ridge will become established across the eastern CONUS
    with a trough advancing slowly inland across the West. A weak
    mid-level shortwave trough will move from the central Plains to the
    Great Lakes during the period. Persistent mid-level flow across the
    Rockies will continue lee troughing and northward moisture transport
    across the Plains.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    A large area of precipitation is expected to be ongoing Sunday
    morning from central Oklahoma to central Texas. This is expected to
    move slowly northeast through the day. Subsidence in the wake of the
    morning shortwave trough associated with this activity should allow
    for recovery ahead of the dryline from West Texas to central Kansas.
    In addition, southwesterly to west-southwesterly flow aloft and a well-established EML should assist in erosion of cloud cover across
    this region by late morning. Therefore, by late Sunday afternoon,
    moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop ahead of the
    dryline.

    Forcing across the warm sector remains weak and casts considerable conditionality to the forecast. Guidance shows mostly neutral
    heights across the dryline during the day. In addition, the dryline
    remains relatively diffuse which would not support the strong
    convergent circulations necessary for convective initiation.
    However, it is worth noting that much of the guidance has a dryline
    orientation oriented somewhat northeast to southwest. Therefore, any
    convection which develops within this zone may have a long enough
    residence time to mature before moving off of the dryline. Given the expectation for minimal inhibition during the afternoon, this may
    favor storm development along particular mesoscale corridors along
    the dryline Sunday afternoon/early evening in an otherwise weakly
    forced environment. Given moderate to potentially strong instability
    and moderate shear, large hail (including the potential for 2+ inch
    hail) will likely be the primary hazard with any supercells that
    develop.

    ...Central/South Texas...
    12Z guidance is fairly consistent with the depiction of a mid-level
    shortwave trough moving across northern Mexico during the day
    Sunday. Given the strong instability across northern Mexico and
    south Texas, it would seem likely for storms to develop along the
    higher terrain of northern Mexico during the afternoon/evening ahead
    of this trough. Strong instability downstream could maintain these
    storms through the evening with some potential for upscale growth
    (such as shown by the RRFS). However, significant inhibition on
    forecast soundings and minimal QPF signal from the global guidance,
    combined with minimal convection over the higher terrain in Mexico
    from the other CAM guidance out through 00Z casts some doubt on this
    scenario.

    An additional scenario is possible across central Texas. At the
    southern end of the morning convection, continued storm development
    is possible within a supercell environment. This scenario is less
    certain given rising heights aloft and will likely be dictated by
    the character of the cold pool from Saturday night/Sunday morning
    storms. However, this is a scenario depicted by some guidance (most
    notably the ECMWF) which could have a locally higher severe weather
    threat across this region on Sunday afternoon.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    A conditional supercell environment will also exist across the Upper
    Midwest ahead of a surface low, though severe risk will depend on
    timing of the mid-level shortwave trough. Uncertainties regarding
    storm coverage remain, but will maintain the Marginal Risk and
    trends will be monitored.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across the Upper Mississippi
    Valley and Great Lakes region, and across portions of the southern
    Plains on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper trough from the northern Rockies to southern CA will pivot
    east on Monday, overspreading the Four Corners vicinity by early
    Tuesday. Meanwhile, a shortwave upper trough will migrate east
    across the northern Plains to the Upper Midwest. At the surface, a
    low over the Mid-MO Valley will shift east along a frontal wave
    across MN/WI. Persistent southwesterly deep-layer flow over the
    Rockies into the Plains will maintain surface lee troughing across
    the Plains. Meanwhile, south/southwesterly low-level flow will
    maintain 60s F dewpoints from the southern Plains toward Lake
    Michigan.

    ...Upper Midwest...

    Some spread among various medium-range guidance in the
    placement/track of the surface low leads to some uncertainty
    regarding the northward extent of severe potential on Monday.
    Nevertheless, a moist airmass will reside ahead of the low in the
    vicinity of a surface warm front. Storm coverage is uncertain,
    partly due to possibly capping. However, persistent moderate
    southwesterly flow atop the front as the low begins to shift east
    should provide focus for thunderstorm development during the
    afternoon and evening. Steep midlevel lapse rates and elongated
    hodographs suggest large hail will be possible both within the warm
    sector and with any elevated storms on the cool side of the
    boundary. Some guidance suggests storms could consolidate into a bow
    or linear segment, which would increase damaging wind potential.
    However, this scenario is uncertain. Some severe risk will persist
    eastward along the warm front into MI overnight. These elevated
    storms will mainly pose a hail risk.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...

    Capping is likely to suppress convection along a dryline extending
    across eastern KS into western OK/TX. The exception may be across
    portions of western TX into southwest OK where modest height falls
    could occur toward evening as the western upper trough beings to
    slowly shift east toward the southern Rockies. Mid 60s F dewpoints
    and steep midlevel lapse rates will support moderate to strong
    destabilization. Strong heating along and west of the dryline will
    support mixing and an increasing southerly low-level jet by 00z
    could be sufficient for isolated storm development. Supercell wind
    profiles will support mainly a risk of large hail, though locally
    damaging gusts and a tornado or two will be possible if storms
    develop.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across the Upper Mississippi
    Valley and Great Lakes region, and across portions of the southern
    Plains on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...
    The pattern on D3/Monday will be characterized by continued
    mid-level troughing across the western US, shifting east into the
    Great Basin. Strong west to southwesterly flow will continue across
    the Rockies into the central Plains and Upper Midwest. A surface low
    will shift across SD/NE into the Upper Midwest, with attendant
    northward lifting warm front and eventual southward moving cold
    front. These features will be the focus of thunderstorm activity
    late Monday afternoon across MN/IA/WI will additional development
    likely into upper MI through the late evening.

    Across the southern/central Plains, a surface dryline will extend
    from central KS into western OK/southwest TX. Strong daytime heating
    will occur along and ahead of the dryline with an increase in the
    low-level jet by the late afternoon/evening and potential for
    isolated to scattered thunderstorm development.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Across the Upper Midwest, southerly flow will usher low to mid 60s
    dew points northwards into portions of IA/WI/MN as a surface low
    shifts eastward. The exact northern extent of this moisture remains
    uncertain, however it does appear that thunderstorms will develop
    near the low and along or north of the effective warm front across
    some portion of IA/MN border, perhaps as far west as southeastern
    SD/northern NE. Steep midlevel lapse rates and elongated hodographs
    suggest large to very large hail (some 2-2.5+ inch in diameter) will
    be possible both within the warm sector and with any elevated storms
    on the cool side of the boundary. Some consideration was given to
    introduction a 30% area, primarily concerning the hail risk, across
    the IA/MN border. There still remains uncertainty in guidance of the
    coverage of storms in the open warm sector. Through time, storms may consolidate with a shift to damaging wind potential. For now, opted
    to expand the Marginal and Slight Risks further west into the
    Dakotas but maintain 15% probabilities.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    A more conditional threat for thunderstorms will be possible across
    the dryline in the central/southern Plains. Through the day, the
    environment looks to remain largely capped. Beneath this, strong
    daytime heating will yield moderate to strong CAPE within a plume of
    steep low to mid-level lapse rates. Into the late afternoon/evening,
    the low-level jet will increase and this may support development of
    isolated thunderstorm activity along and ahead of the dryline.
    Should this occur, the environment will favor supercells capable of
    large to very large hail, damaging wind, and a couple of tornadoes.

    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday
    and Tuesday night from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes.

    ...Synopsis...

    Southwesterly deep-layer flow will persist from the southern Plains
    to the Great Lakes on Tuesday. An upper trough over the western U.S.
    will slowly pivot eastward, emerging over the central/southern High
    Plains by Sunday morning. Surface low pressure will remain centered
    over the central Plains, with troughing extending southwestward into
    west TX. A cold front will slowly sag southward across portions of
    the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes vicinity. The surface trough/dryline
    and the boundary across the Great Lakes will become a focus for
    thunderstorm activity through the forecast period.

    ...Lower MO Valley to the Great Lakes vicinity...

    Convection may be ongoing across portions of the region Tuesday
    morning. This activity should spread east, and persistent warm
    advection should allow for airmass recovery during the afternoon.
    Steep midlevel lapse rates will overspread mid 60s F dewpoints, and
    moderate to strong destabilization is forecast. Stronger height
    falls are not expected across the region, as the main upper trough
    will be focused well to the southwest. However, warm advection atop
    a southward-sagging surface boundary should support isolated to
    scattered storm development by late afternoon/evening. Supercell
    wind profiles are evident in forecast soundings, suggesting an
    all-hazards risk. Given uncertainty related to potential airmass
    contamination from early day convection and cloud cover, and
    potential capping concerns, will maintain Slight risk (level 2 of
    5). However, a rather volatile thermodynamic and kinematic
    environment will exist across portions of the region, and higher
    probabilities may be needed in subsequent outlooks depending on
    forecast trends and mesoscale details.

    ...Southern Plains vicinity...

    Large-scale ascent will begin overspreading the region by late afternoon/evening as the western upper trough finally begins to
    eject eastward. As this occurs, mixing and convergence along a
    surface dryline should support at least isolated storm development
    by around 00z. Steep midlevel lapse rates and mid/upper 60s F
    dewpoints will support strong destabilization amid supercell wind
    profiles. Large to very large hail will be possible in addition to
    strong wind gusts and a tornado or two.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday
    and Tuesday night from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes.

    ...Synopsis...
    The western US trough will eject across the Rockies on Tuesday with strengthening westerly flow overspreading the Plains into the Great
    Lakes Region. A surface low will deepen across western KS/NE with a
    warm front lifting across the Lower Missouri Valley into the Great
    Lakes and sharpening dryline across the southern/central Plains. A
    cold front will sag southward across the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes
    vicinity. The surface trough/dryline and the boundary across the
    Great Lakes will become a focus for thunderstorm activity through
    the forecast period.

    ...Lower MO Valley to the Great Lakes...
    Convective coverage will overlap the start of the period near 12z on
    Tuesday across portions of the Midwest/Great Lakes Region. Trends
    are for relatively quick clearing across portions of central Iowa
    into Illinois. As the warm front lifts northward, strong daytime
    heating is expected amid dew points in the low to mid 60s. It is
    likely the air mass will recover with potential for moderate to
    strong instability by the afternoon. Stronger height falls are not
    expected across the region, as the main upper trough
    will be focused well to the southwest. However, warm advection atop
    a southward-sagging surface boundary should support isolated to
    scattered storm development by late afternoon/evening. The primary
    risk will be for large to very large hail ( some 2.5"+ in diameter)
    and damaging wind.

    By late afternoon/evening, 700 mb flow will strengthen (around 50-60
    kts) with a plume of steep low to mid-level lapse rate nosing into
    central Iowa/northern Illinois from the southwest. The 850 mb
    low-level jet also increases, with large clockwise curved hodographs
    developing with the resulting increase in low-level shear. If
    supercells can develop and maintain residency along or south of the
    warm front, a corridor of greater tornado risk (a couple of which
    may be strong tornadoes) may present itself.

    Consideration was given to a 30 percent area (primarily hail
    driven). With some uncertainty remaining in morning convection and
    coverage of storms in the afternoon/evening, the 15% was maintained
    with this outlook until more information can be gleaned from hi-res
    guidance.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Ahead of the dryline across the Southern Plains, strong daytime
    heating is expected. Large-scale ascent will begin overspreading the
    region by late afternoon/evening as the western upper trough finally
    begins to eject eastward. As this occurs, mixing and convergence
    along a surface dryline should support storm development by around
    00z. If little convective development occurs on D2/Monday, a
    relatively undisturbed moist/very unstable air mass will be in
    place. It is likely that rather robust thunderstorm development will
    occur along the dryline, with the primary mode being supercelluar.
    Large to very large hail (2 to locally 2.5+ inches in diameter),
    damaging wind, and a couple of tornadoes will be possible. Given
    that deep layer shear profiles have more of a parallel component to
    the dryline, storm interactions may keep the period of more discrete
    supercell thunderstorms short, with a shift to clusters of mix-mode
    supercell and multi-cell storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTION OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms posing a risk for large hail and strong wind
    gusts will be possible across portions of the southern Plains toward
    the Great Lakes on Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    ...Southern Plains to Great Lakes...

    An upper trough will move from the Plains to the MS Valley vicinity
    on Wednesday. As associated corridor of enhanced southwesterly
    deep-layer flow will overspread a moist/unstable airmass ahead of a
    surface dryline. The southern Plains portion of the dryline will not
    move too much on Wednesday. However, the northern extent of this
    boundary will intersect a weak surface low moving from the Lower MO
    Valley toward Lake Michigan. This portion of the boundary will
    advance eastward toward the MS River during the evening/overnight
    hours.

    Areas of showers and thunderstorms may be ongoing across portions of
    the region Wednesday morning. As a result, there is uncertainty
    regarding how the boundary layer may recover/destabilize during the
    afternoon. Nevertheless, at least pockets of moderate
    destabilization (1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE) are expected within a
    corridor along and east of the surface boundary. Effective shear
    magnitudes greater than 40 kt will be sufficient for organized
    convection, with large hail and strong wind gusts being the primary
    hazards.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms posing a risk for large hail and strong wind
    gusts will be possible across portions of the southern Plains toward
    the Great Lakes on Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-level trough will move eastward from the Plains into the
    Upper Midwest on Wednesday, with continued enhanced west to
    southwesterly flow across the southern Plains into the Great Lakes
    Region. The surface dryline will remain in a similar location from
    Tuesday, extending across western Oklahoma into southwestern and
    western Texas. A surface low will shift eastward across IA into WI,
    with a cold front shifting south and east through the period.
    Scattered thunderstorm development is expected from the Southern
    Plains into the Upper Midwest along the aforementioned boundaries
    Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    ...Southern Plains to Great Lakes...
    Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing at the
    start of the period at 12z Wednesday across much of the Slight Risk
    region. A secondary round of thunderstorm development is likely to
    occur near and ahead of the dryline extending from west Texas into
    western Oklahoma Wednesday afternoon. It remains somewhat uncertain
    how morning convection will evolve and what the resulting effect on
    the thermodynamic environment will be. Most guidance suggests that
    in the area ahead of the dryline across central OK to the Red River
    in northern Texas will develop at least moderate instability
    (1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE). Deep layer shear profiles will remain
    strong favoring supercells as the primary mode. The main threat will
    be for large to very large hail and damaging wind, given linearly
    elongated hodographs and weaker low-level shear.

    Thunderstorms are also expected to re-develop further north across
    the central Plains into the Great Lakes region along the
    dryline/cold front intersection. A messy mode with mix of supercells
    and multi-cell clusters is likely given the eventual southward
    moving cold front. Similarly, the main risks will be for damaging
    wind and large hail across these regions.

    ...Northeast...
    Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to develop along and
    south of a diffuse frontal boundary across the Great Lakes into
    southern NY/northern PA. Modestly unstable profiles, steepening
    lapse rates, and strong deep layer shear will allow for some
    isolated severe storm risk. Primary risk would be for damaging wind
    and small hail, though, a tornado could be possible near the
    boundary.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OHIO
    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday
    across portions of the Ohio Valley.

    ...Lower Ohio Valley/Midwest vicinity...

    An upper shortwave trough will move from the MS Valley to the
    Appalachians on Thursday. Moderate southwesterly deep-layer flow
    will overspread the MO Bootheel toward Lake Erie ahead of this
    feature. At the surface, a corridor of upper 50s to low 60s F
    dewpoints will be in place ahead of a surface front. Some ongoing
    convection and cloudiness early in the day will limit stronger
    destabilization, but at least weak MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg is
    forecast. While low-level flow will be weak, around 30-40 kt
    west/southwesterly flow between 850-700 mb and 40+ kt effective
    shear magnitudes will aid in some storm organization. A mix of
    clusters and line segments will bring a risk of locally strong gusts
    where stronger heating results in steepened low-level lapse rates.

    ...Southern Plains vicinity...

    A conditionally favorable supercell environment will be in place
    across the southern Plains on Thursday ahead of a dryline. A weak
    shortwave impulse is forecast to move across the region early in the
    day, departing by early afternoon. Height rises/shortwave ridging is
    then forecast to build across the area. At this time, thunderstorm
    development is not forecast as weak capping in the absence of
    large-scale ascent should be maintained. However, trends will be
    monitored given the otherwise very favorable thermodynamic and
    kinematic environment. Otherwise, isolated elevated convection is
    possible late in the period in a warm advection regime across north
    TX into southern OK.
