...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM A PORTION
OF EASTERN IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY AS WELL AS
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms are possible Friday from a portion of the
upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with large
hail and damaging wind the main threats. Other severe storms may
occur across the TN Valley region with a few tornadoes and damaging
wind the primary threats.
...Middle Mississippi Valley through the Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley...
East-west quasi-stationary front will stretch across the Great
Lakes into southern portions of the Northeast States early Friday.
Elevated storms will be ongoing within zone of isentropic
ascent north of this boundary. Rich low-level moisture with upper
60s to low 70s F dewpoints will reside in the warm sector farther
south. The atmosphere will likely become moderately to strongly
unstable as the boundary layer warms during the afternoon with
MLCAPE from 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE likely. A southeast-advancing cold
front will accompany a progressive northern-stream trough through
the upper MS Valley during the afternoon, continuing into the
Midwest during the evening. Additional storms will likely develop as
the front interacts with the destabilizing boundary layer from
southern WI into IA, and this activity will subsequently spread
southeast. Vertical wind profiles will strengthen as the upper
trough advances east-southeast, and potential will exist for
organized storms including a few supercells as well as lines with
bowing segments. Damaging wind and hail should be the main threats.
...Tennessee and Kentucky...
The remnants of Hurricane Laura should be located over northeast
Arkansas by 12Z Friday based on the latest forecast track from the
National Hurricane Center. This feature is forecast to advance east
northeast during the period through western TN and KY as it begins
to interact with the southern fringe of the mid-latitude westerlies.
The kinematic environment associated with the remnants of Laura
should remain favorable for a few tornadoes, especially during the
afternoon when the boundary layer will have the potential to be more
unstable. However, the threat may continue into the overnight across
portions of TN and KY as the system continues east.
...Central Plains...
It still appears more substantial thunderstorm initiation along the
cold front will probably remain limited across the central Plains
during the afternoon. A greater signal exists in the upslope region
of CO where storms will likely develop over the higher terrain later
in the day. This activity will spread east possibly reaching the
central High Plains, posing a risk for a few damaging wind gusts and
hail during the evening. Additional storms may develop overnight
across KS, mainly north of the front, and some of this activity may
become capable of producing hail and locally strong wind gusts.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MIDWEST...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND TN VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms are possible Friday from a portion of the
upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with large
hail and damaging wind the main threats. Other severe storms may
occur across the Tennessee Valley region with a few tornadoes and
damaging winds the primary threats.
...Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and
Mid-Atlantic...
An MCS will likely be ongoing Friday morning across some portion of
the Upper Midwest (probably the central/southern MN into northern IA
vicinity). This MCS may continue to pose at least an isolated
damaging wind threat across parts of WI before it weakens by mid to
late morning. In the wake of this morning activity, additional
robust storm development appears possible Friday afternoon across
parts of WI/IA/northern IL as an upper trough advances
east-southeastward from central Canada and the northern Plains into
the Upper Midwest. A weak surface low is also forecast to develop
eastward from MN into WI and eventually Lower MI through the day,
with a trailing cold front moving southeastward across the Upper
Midwest.
There is still a fair amount of uncertainty regarding the northward
extent of appreciable surface-based storm potential across WI, which
will largely be dependent on how quickly the morning storms
weaken/move eastward Friday morning. Even with this uncertainty,
strong diurnal heating of a low-level airmass characterized by upper
60s to low 70s surface dewpoints ahead of the cold front will likely
support the development of 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE by peak
afternoon heating. 40-50 kt of mid-level westerly flow should foster
similar values of effective bulk shear. Redevelopment along the cold
front in the afternoon is likely, with supercells the main storm
mode initially. Both scattered large hail and severe wind gusts may
occur, with a more focused corridor of severe potential evident
across southern WI, eastern IA, and northern IL as storms grow
upscale into a small bow/line through early Friday evening. A few
tornadoes also appear possible along a warm front extending eastward
from the surface low, where low-level shear will be relatively
maximized in association with a modestly enhanced low-level jet.
Farther east across the Great Lakes and OH Valley/Mid-Atlantic,
mainly elevated convection may be ongoing Friday morning along a
stalled front. The potential for additional storm development
through the day remains unclear, although a mid-level perturbation
associated with the morning MCS over the Upper Midwest may provide
enough large-scale ascent for scattered storms by Friday afternoon.
Generally 25-40 kt of effective bulk shear in combination with
1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE along/south of the front should be
sufficient for a mix of supercells and multicells, with the better
supercell potential across Lower MI and the OH Valley where
deep-layer shear should be somewhat stronger. Although marginally
severe hail may occur, the main threat should be damaging winds as
storms congeal into multiple clusters and small bows while moving
eastward. Have expanded the Slight Risk eastward across parts of PA,
where a greater concentration of storms appears probable.
...Lower Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee Valley...
Laura is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to be a Tropical
Depression in the vicinity of northeastern AR by the start of the
period Friday morning. As the cyclone develops east-northeastward
through the day, a broken band of storms may form along its eastern
flank across parts of the Lower MS Valley into the TN Valley and
vicinity. Although instability may remain fairly modest owing to
poor mid-level lapse rates, around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE may still
develop. The low-level wind field associated with Laura should
remain favorable for low-level rotation with any low-topped
supercells that can form. The straight-line damaging wind potential
may also increase across parts of the TN Valley Friday afternoon if
storms can grow into one or more line segments, as some
convection-allowing model guidance suggests.
...Central Plains...
Convective initiation along the southward-moving cold front still
appears very questionable across most of the central Plains through
the day, as appreciable large-scale ascent should remain displaced
to the north of this region. A better potential for convective
initiation Friday afternoon appears across parts of the higher
terrain of CO, where a weak low-level upslope flow regime will
exist. This activity should spread eastward, possibly reaching the
central High Plains while posing a risk for a few severe wind gusts
and perhaps some hail during the evening. Additional storms may
develop overnight across KS, mainly north of the front. Some of this
activity may become capable of producing hail and locally strong
wind gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
KANSAS INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND FROM THE
CAROLINAS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms are possible from southern Kansas into
northern Oklahoma and Arkansas Saturday afternoon and evening with
damaging wind and large hail the main threats. A modest risk for a
few strong to severe storms will exist from the Carolinas into the
Middle Atlantic during the day with damaging wind gusts and a few
tornadoes possible.
...Southern Kansas, Northern Oklahoma into northern Arkansas...
A cold front will advance southward into OK and the TX Panhandle
Saturday where the atmosphere will likely become moderately to
strongly unstable in warm sector. Current indications are that
elevated storms will probably be in progress north of the boundary
across KS Saturday morning. Several CAMs as well as NAM and ECWMF
depict an MCS and associated MCV across southern KS early in the
period, and this activity will shift east southeast over top of a
low-amplitude synoptic ridge during the day. Potential will exist
for additional storms to develop across southern KS into northern OK
as the shortwave trough advances east and interacts with the front
and destabilizing boundary layer. Stronger flow/vertical shear will
accompany the shortwave trough, and storms will have the potential
to organize. A low-level jet will likely strengthen during the
evening in association with this mesoscale system and help to
sustain an organized MCS into the lower MS Valley region into the
overnight. Damaging wind and hail will be the main threats.
Other more isolated strong to severe storms may develop farther west
in the post-frontal upslope region across the higher terrain of CO
and spread east into High Plains during the late afternoon and
evening. A few instances of large hail and damaging wind will be the
main threats.
...Carolinas through the Middle Atlantic...
Remnants of Laura are forecast to accelerate through the southern
Appalachians and Carolinas to southern Middle Atlantic regions on
Saturday as the system becomes absorbed within belt of westerlies.
Laura should become loosely phased with a progressive
northern-stream trough that will move through the Great Lakes and
Northeast States. The accompanying cold front should extend from a
surface low over the lower Great Lakes southwestward into the Ohio
Valley early in the day. The front will continue into the Northeast
States and Middle Atlantic during the mid to late afternoon. Rich
tropical moisture will reside in pre-frontal warm sector, but weak
lapse rates and potential for widespread clouds will likely result
in marginal instability. The stronger low-level wind fields and
largest hodographs accompanying Laura should spread through NC and
southern VA based on latest guidance, but the system will continue
to undergo a weakening trend. Latest satellite imagery show Laura is transitioning to a hybrid system and is entraining dry air in the
mid-upper levels. This transition might allow for greater diabatic
heating and destabilization of the boundary layer across parts of NC
and VA where tornado threat will be greatest, but conditional upon
sufficient low-level destabilization.
Farther north into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast States, low-level
hodographs will be smaller, but the kinematic environment might be
sufficient for a threat of locally strong wind gusts with storms
developing along and ahead of the advancing cold front. Threat in
this region is also conditional upon sufficient boundary layer
destabilization, which remains uncertain given potential for
widespread clouds and areas of ongoing precipitation.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms will be possible over parts of the Great
Plains Sunday afternoon and evening with damaging wind and large
hail the main threats.
...Great Plains...
An upper-level trough will move across the northern High Plains on
Sunday as flow aloft remains divergent across the central and
northern Plains. At the surface, a corridor of maximized low-level
moisture will be in place from western Kansas northward into central
South Dakota where MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 1500 to 2500
J/kg range. A cold front will advance southeastward across the
central and northern Plains, providing a focus for convective
development during the mid to late afternoon. Although thunderstorms
should initially remain relatively isolated, convective coverage is
expected to increase during the early evening. A few clusters of
storms appear likely to move east-southward across the
instability/moisture corridor.
In addition to the moderate instability, model forecasts show 0-6 km
shear in the 35 to 45 kt range across much of the central and
northern Plains. Mid-level lapse rates are also steep. This
environment should be favorable for supercells with large hail. A
wind-damage threat will also likely accompany supercells. The
potential for wind damage and hail is expected to persist into the
early to mid evening as several organized short line segments move east-southeastward across the region.
...Arkansas River Valley/Lower to Mid Mississippi Valley...
A shortwave trough will move eastward across the lower Missouri
Valley and Ozarks on Sunday. At the surface, an east-to-west
corridor of maximized low-level moisture will be in place from the
southern Plains Red River Valley into the lower to mid Mississippi
Valley. Scattered thunderstorms appear likely to develop along this
corridor during the afternoon. Although deep-layer shear is forecast
to be in the 20 to 30 kt range, moderate instability will be in
place and low-level lapse rates will be steep. This should be enough
for a marginal wind-damage threat with the stronger multicells.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A PORTION
OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms will be possible over parts of the Great
Plains Sunday afternoon and evening with damaging wind and large
hail the main threats.
...Dakotas through central and eastern Nebraska...
A strong cold front will accompany a northern-stream shortwave
trough through the northern and central Plains Sunday. By early
Sunday this front should extend from western ND southwest into
northern Wyoming. A lee trough will extend southward through the
central High Plains. The cold front will advance southeast during
the period and by 12Z Monday should extend from eastern MN
southwestward through KS and into northeast NM. A narrow corridor of
modest low-level moisture with upper 50s to low 60s F dewpoints will
advect northward through the pre-frontal warm sector beneath steep
mid-level lapse rates resulting in 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Elevated
storms with a marginal hail threat may develop in post frontal
region of ND early in the day. However, it still appears the
atmosphere will remain capped to surface based thunderstorms until
the front interacts with the destabilizing boundary layer during the
mid to late afternoon, when storms will likely develop from the
central Dakotas into NE. Winds aloft will increase with the approach
of the upper trough, though stronger flow will remain post frontal.
Moderate instability and effective bulk shear from 30-40 kt will
support both multicell and some supercell structures with damaging
wind and large hail the main threats through mid evening.
...Southern Plains through lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valley
regions...
East-west oriented baroclinic zone will stretch from OK through the
TN Valley region and will remain active with ongoing convection. The
warm sector south of the stalled boundary will likely become
moderately unstable, and a series of MCVs will advance from west to
east within belt of modest winds aloft. Additional storms will
likely develop within the frontal zone during the day, and some of
this activity will become capable of producing isolated damaging
wind and hail. However, given the complexities associated with
ongoing convection, considerable uncertainty remains regarding where
the best severe potential will be. Will therefore maintain MRGL risk
category for this update, but a SLGT risk might be required for a
portion of this region in later outlooks.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AREA...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging wind are possible
Monday over parts of the southern Plains and lower Arkansas River
Valley. Other strong storms may occur over a portion of the
Carolinas into southern Virginia.
...Southern Plains region...
On Monday the southern Plains will remain within a belt of modest
westerly winds aloft with embedded weak perturbations. A stalled
front will reside from central OK into northern AR early in the
period. A few showers and thunderstorms may be in progress along
portions of this boundary, but this activity is expected to move
east and diminish during the day as the low-level jet veers and
weakens. In wake of the morning activity, at least partial clearing
skies will promote destabilization of the moist boundary layer
beneath 7-7.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates supporting 2000-3000 J/kg
MLCAPE. A cold front will advance southeast and should extend from
MO into northern OK and northwestern TX by late afternoon.
Additional storms are expected to develop as this boundary interacts
with the destabilizing surface layer, and this activity will spread
southeast during the evening. The modest wind profiles will support
25-35 kt effective bulk shear and mostly multicell convection.
However, the thermodynamic environment appears sufficient for storms
to produce locally strong to damaging wind gusts and hail from
mid-late afternoon into the evening.
...Central North Carolina into Southern Virginia...
A modest southerly low level jet is expected to develop across
western VA, possibly extending into a portion of northern NC during
the day in association with the approach of a low-amplitude
shortwave trough. At the surface an east-west oriented stationary
front should extend across NC. Showers and storms may be ongoing
north of this boundary early in period. However, potential will
exist for destabilization of the moist boundary layer along and
south of the front during the day where fewer clouds are expected.
Some enhancement of low-level hodographs will exist along trailing
end of the low-level jet where it intersects the front from a
portion of northern NC into southern VA. Additional storms will
likely develop along this boundary during the afternoon, and some
threat for a couple of brief tornadoes will exist with storms
interacting with the boundary. Have introduced a 2% tornado this
outlook, but this region will continue to be monitored for a
possible SLGT risk in day 1 updates.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM A PORTION
OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to severe storms capable of mainly severe gusts and
hail will be possible over a portion of the southern Plains Tuesday.
Other storms with a few locally strong to severe gusts will be
possible over a portion of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys.
...Southern Plains region...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing along and south of a stalled
front from the lower MS Valley region into southern OK and northern
TX, possibly extending westward through a portion of western TX. A
moist warm sector will reside south of ongoing storms across
northern through central TX where the atmosphere will likely become
moderately unstable. Activity will likely continue developing slowly
south during the day with potential for a few locally strong gusts.
However, belt of modest southwest mid-upper flow will reside over
this region downstream from an upper low amplifying across the 4
corners region. With only modest flow aloft parallel to outflow
boundary and presence of weak vertical shear, overall threat does
not seem to warrant more than a MRGL risk category.
Farther west, overall severe threat will depend on extent of morning convection. However, current indications are that a corridor of
moderate instability may develop in vicinity of a dryline feature
across western TX where steeper mid level lapse rates will exist.
Additional storms may develop along this feature during the
afternoon, and effective bulk shear from 30-40 kt could support a
few rotating updrafts capable of large hail and strong wind gusts.
Due to uncertainty regarding extent of early convection and residual
clouds, will maintain MRGL risk category this update, but an upgrade
to SLGT might be warranted in day 1 outlooks.
...Tennessee and Ohio Valley regions...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing south of a stalled front from
the lower and middle MS valley into the western TN and OH Valley
regions. A shortwave trough will advance northeast through this
region during the day augmenting vertical wind profiles. Primary
uncertainty this outlook for a more robust severe threat is
destabilization potential, given weak lapse rates and expected
widespread clouds. Some destabilization is possible, but
thermodynamic profiles will likely remain marginal. Nevertheless, a
few strong storms could develop during the afternoon where
sufficient boundary layer warming occurs. Vertical wind profiles in
association with the progressive shortwave trough might become
sufficient for a few organized structures with damaging wind and
perhaps a brief tornado or two the main threats.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE NORTHEAST/MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE OHIO VALLEY/MID-SOUTH...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Wednesday from
parts of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic into the Ohio Valley/Mid-South.
...Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic...
An upper trough over Ontario/Quebec and the Great Lakes is forecast
to develop across the Northeast and Quebec on Wednesday. The
strongest mid-level flow should remain confined to parts of northern
NY and New England, although modestly enhanced winds (around 30-35
kt) at mid levels will likely extend as far south as the
Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a weak low initially over southern
Ontario should develop northeastward through the day, with a
trailing cold front moving southeastward across the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic. A warm front is also forecast to lift northward across
parts of these regions through Wednesday evening.
Poor mid-level lapse rates will be present across the warm sector,
which should temper updraft strength to some degree through much of
the day. Still, 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop ahead of the
cold front across parts of PA/NY into far western New England owing
to diurnal heating of an increasingly moist low-level airmass.
Greater instability (1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE) may be realized
across parts of the Mid-Atlantic to the east of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, where rich low-level moisture should be present and
stronger diurnal heating will likely occur. Around 30-40 kt of
effective bulk shear should act to organize storms as they form
along/ahead of the cold front, and along a lee trough extending
southward near/east of the Appalachians. A mix of multicells and
marginal supercell structures will be possible.
Isolated strong/gusty downdraft winds capable of producing some
damage may occur as storms move eastward through early Wednesday
evening given the enhanced mid-level flow. A tornado or two also
appears possible with any of the more discrete storms, as low-level
winds should be strong enough to support 100-150 m2/s2 of 0-1 km
SRH. An upgrade to Slight Risk may be needed for parts of the
Mid-Atlantic if current model trends continue, but confidence in
overall storm coverage/intensity was not high enough to introduce
greater severe probabilities just yet.
...Ohio Valley into the Mid-South...
Clusters of thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across parts of the
southern Plains into AR Wednesday morning in association with a weak
upper trough. A convectively enhanced, small-scale mid-level
perturbation may move northeastward across parts of the Mid-South
and OH Valley through the day. There appears to be some potential
for a small thunderstorm cluster to move northeastward over these
areas in tandem with the mid-level perturbation. Isolated strong to
damaging winds appear to be the main severe threat with this
activity, as mid-level southwesterly flow should be modestly
enhanced (around 25-30 kt) and sufficient destabilization is
anticipated downstream. A surface cold front over the OH Valley will
likely serve as a northern delimiter to any appreciable severe
threat Wednesday afternoon.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE
MID-ATLANTIC STATES...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible in
the Mid-Atlantic states on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A strong mid-level shortwave trough will move from the Upper Great
Lakes, through the base of a larger scale trough, and into Quebec by
early Friday morning. A mid-level anticyclone centered over the
Great Basin will influence conditions over the West. In the low
levels, a front will stall and advance northward as a warm front
across parts of the Northeast, ahead of a cold front forecast to
sweep eastward through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast during
the period.
...Central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic states...
Model guidance continues to show a lower-latitude disturbance moving
from the upper TN Valley east-northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic
states by late afternoon. With a very moist airmass located from
KY/TN northeastward into PA/NJ south of the stalled front, showers
and thunderstorms may be ongoing early Thursday morning across KY.
Cloud breaks ahead of this convection will lead to weak/moderate destabilization despite relatively warm 500 mb temperatures and
modest mid-level lapse rates. Scattered thunderstorm development
will likely occur over the central Appalachians during the midday
before spreading downstream towards the I-95 corridor during the afternoon/early evening. In tandem with the diurnal storm
development, flow fields within the 700-500 mb layer will strengthen
during the day (30-40 kt at 700 mb increasing to 40-50 kt at 500 mb)
and elongate hodographs. A mixed mode of strong to severe
clusters/linear segments plus supercells is likely. Scattered
damaging gusts and a few tornadoes are possible. The tornado risk
will continue to be re-evaluated at later outlooks but the potential
for several supercells appears greatest in the MD/northern VA
vicinity during the afternoon. This activity will likely weaken
during the evening as it moves towards the coast but some risk may
continue well after dark.
...Hudson Valley into southern New England...
A warm front is forecast to advance northward into the southern half
of NY and southern New England during the day. Aside from warm
advection, it appears the primary forcing for ascent for storm
development will delay until after dark. Isolated to widely
scattered thunderstorms are possible within an increasingly moist
airmass ahead of the approaching cold front. Isolated damaging
gusts may accompany the stronger storms.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Friday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large-scale upper cyclone will persist Friday across the Upper
Midwest into the Northeast and eastern Canada while moving slowly
eastward. Upper-level ridging will remain over much of the western
CONUS and parts of the Southeast. At the surface, a weak cold front
is forecast to move generally southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic
into the Southeast, lower MS Valley, and southern Plains through the
period. This front, along with multiple MCVs from prior convection
across TX, should be a focus for isolated to scattered thunderstorm
development through Friday afternoon. Stronger mid-level flow
associated with the upper trough is expected to remain mostly
displaced to the north of the cold front, and any storms that form
along/south of this front are expected to remain rather disorganized
owing to weak deep-layer shear.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA AND NORTHERN IOWA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over
southern Minnesota and Iowa Saturday night.
...MN/IA vicinity...
A plume of steep mid-level lapse rates emanating from the northern
periphery of a mid-level anticyclone centered over UT/AZ, will
overspread the Dakotas into the Corn Belt on Saturday and Saturday
night. A mid-level disturbance is forecast to rapidly move from MT east-southeastward into IA by daybreak Sunday. As this occurs,
surface low pressure will develop over the Dakotas and a warm front
over the central Great Plains will advance north/northeast.
Model output is consistent in depicting southerly low-level flow
advecting richer moisture northward into the lower to mid MO Valley
with mid 60s reaching western IA by late evening. Strengthening
warm air advection aided by a developing southwesterly 45-kt LLJ
after dark will likely lead to scattered elevated thunderstorms
developing during the evening in eastern SD/southwestern MN with
increasing thunderstorm coverage in the form of a cluster and/or MCS
spreading east-southeast. The eastern periphery of a plume of steep
700-500 mb lapse rates (8-9 deg C/km) and strong effective shear may
favor large hail with the stronger elevated cores. An isolated
damaging gust may also occur given the presence of steep lapse rates
and the possibility for an organized thunderstorm cluster to
develop.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN IOWA
TO THE SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from parts
of the mid Mississippi Valley eastward into the central Great Lakes
on Sunday and Sunday night. Damaging gusts and large hail are the
primary hazards.
...IA eastward into Lower MI...
Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing from southeast MN southeastward into IA/WI and perhaps northern IL on Sunday morning
in association with elevated, warm-advection thunderstorms on the
nose of a strong southwesterly LLJ. The early day activity may pose
an isolated risk for large hail or a localized threat for damaging
gusts before weakening by late morning. The mid-level disturbance
responsible for the morning thunderstorms is forecast to move
quickly east across the southern Great Lakes. A warm front will
advance northeastward across Lower MI during the day but residual
convection will outrun the destabilizing warm sector located farther
southwest.
Models continue to show an amplifying mid-level shortwave trough
over south-central Canada as a surface low deepens over western
Ontario. By the early evening, weak mid-level height falls will
gradually overspread the Upper Midwest the western Great Lakes as a
cold front sharpens and pushes southeastward into the mid MS Valley.
It appears increasingly plausible that scattered thunderstorms will
develop from eastern IA across southern WI and northern IL during
the evening. Steep mid-level lapse rates and a strengthening low-
to mid-level wind profile will favor organized thunderstorms.
Isolated severe gusts resulting in scattered wind damage and large
hail are possible with the stronger thunderstorms and bowing
segments. Farther east/northeast, weaker instability (MUCAPE 1000
J/kg or less) may temper the overall severe risk. Yet, the strong
flow fields in the presence of thunderstorms may yield a risk for
damaging gusts.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MIDDLE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible from
Illinois into the lower Great Lakes during the afternoon Monday and
in parts of the middle Mississippi Valley Monday evening.
...Synopsis...
A belt of strong cyclonic mid-level flow over the north-central U.S.
and southern Canada will feature a departing disturbance over
Ontario into Quebec and an amplifying trough over the northern
Rockies into the eastern Great Basin. In the low levels, a cold
front associated with the northern Great Lakes disturbance will
extend west-southwestward through the mid MS Valley and become
stationary, while an arctic cold front sweeps southward through
the central High Plains late.
Models continue to indicate isolated thunderstorms being possible
during the day along the trailing portion of the boundary from the
lower Great Lakes westward into IL. Although storm coverage will
probably remain isolated with one or two widely spaced clusters and
weak to negligible upper forcing for ascent, the airmass will
destabilize during the afternoon and conditionally support an
isolated strong to severe risk.
Farther west over the lower MO Valley, strengthening warm air
advection by early evening will likely lead to isolated
thunderstorms developing near the surface boundary. Storm coverage
will probably increase during the evening near the boundary before
preferential development occurs north of the surface front within
strengthening 850 mb warm air advection from northern MO into
adjacent parts of IA/western IL. The primary risks with the
stronger storms during the evening will be isolated large
hail/damaging gusts due to the steep 700-500 mb lapse rates and
strong effective shear.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSOURI/MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible from
Illinois into the lower Great Lakes Monday afternoon, and in parts
of the middle Mississippi Valley Monday evening.
...Synopsis...
A broad upper level trough stretching from the northern Rockies to
the Great Lakes will be in place early Monday. An upper low near
James Bay and attendant shortwave trough embedded in the
larger-scale trough will develop east/northeast across Quebec.
Meanwhile, a second, intense shortwave trough will dig southward
across the northern Rockies and Great Basin. At the surface, low
pressure vertically stacked beneath the James Bay upper low will
slowly pivot north/northeast through the period. A surface cold
front will surge eastward early in the period across lower MI.
However, as the surface low pivots further north/northeast, the
front will stall, and remain draped across parts of OH/IN/IL,
westward through northern MO/KS. The front will become a focus for
thunderstorm development across portions of the Midwest into the
lower Great Lakes vicinity during the afternoon and evening.
...IL/IN to the Lower Great Lakes through Monday evening...
Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
near the surface cold front from near Lakes Ontario and Erie into
parts of northern OH/IN. This activity should increase and spread east/southeast through peak heating from western NY/PA into
central/southern OH/IN, and possibly parts of central/southern IL. A
corridor of 60s F surface dewpoints will reside ahead of the front.
Surface heating will be strongest across the Mid-MS/lower OH Valley
vicinity, with cooler temperatures expected northeastward into the
lower Great Lakes vicinity. MLCAPE values around 1500-2500 J/kg are
forecast where greater heating occurs, decreasing to around 250-1000
J/kg across parts of OH into western PA/NY. Effective shear will
remain modest, around 25-35 kt, but adequate for organized clusters.
Gusty winds and near-1 inch hail will be possible with the strongest
storms. Low level winds will remain weak, and deep layer winds
largely parallel to the frontal boundary, which should limit tornado
potential. However, a corridor may exist during the afternoon across
parts of IL/IN where some guidance suggests backing low level winds
ahead of the front resulting in enlarged, albeit still modest, low
level hodographs. Given an overlap of favorable low level moisture
and instability, a tornado or two can not be ruled out.
...Lower MO/mid-MS Valley Monday evening and overnight...
Convection will likely be suppressed much of the day until stronger
forcing arrives ahead of the western upper shortwave trough and
intense southward-advancing Plains cold front. In response to these
features, a strong southerly low level jet will develop Monday
evening over the southern Plains and Lower Missouri Valley. This
should initiate thunderstorms along the surface boundary, with deep
layer flow resulting in convection remaining on the cool side of the
boundary, and elevated. Nevertheless, moderate instability and steep
midlevel lapse rates will be in place amid strong vertical shear.
Some initial elevated supercells are possible, but storm mode should
generally be clusters. Isolated large hail and gusty winds could
occur with the strongest cells from far southeast NE/northeast KS
into MO/IA and IL through the overnight hours.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Wednesday through Wednesday night.
...Discussion...
Models indicate that blocking will remain prominent within the
mid/upper flow across the eastern Pacific into the western U.S.
through this period, although some weakening of the mid-level high
centered to the west of the Pacific Northwest coast may commence.
Little movement of flanking closed lows is forecast, including the
one centered to the northwest of the Four Corners.
To the north of this regime, broad ridging within the mid-latitude
westerlies will persist from the Gulf of Alaska vicinity into the
Canadian Prairies. The base of broadening downstream troughing may
shift from the north central Canadian/U.S. border vicinity to the north/northeast of the Great Lakes region.
Meanwhile, the western flank of a prominent mid-level ridge,
centered over the mid-latitude/subtropical western Atlantic, likely
will maintain considerable influence over much of the southeastern
quarter of the nation.
In lower levels, a weak easterly wave may gradually migrate into and
across southern and mid Atlantic coastal areas. This will be
accompanied by continued lower/mid tropospheric moistening and areas
of convection. However, due to weak mid-level lapse rates,
thermodynamic profiles supportive of activity capable of producing
lightning may be generally confined to the coastal plain, where
there appears the best chance for substantive boundary-layer warming
and destabilization.
Otherwise, low/mid-level moisture and instability above the stalling
surface frontal zone, associated the ongoing cold intrusion to the
lee of the Rockies, appears to provide the primary focus for
scattered, generally weak thunderstorm development Wednesday through
Wednesday night. Moderately large mixed-layer CAPE may develop by
late afternoon along/ahead of the frontal zone across parts of Texas
(roughly along the I-35 corridor into the Hill Country), near the
eastern periphery of broadly cyclonic mid-level flow associated with
the upstream mid-level closed low. While an isolated strong to
severe storm or two in this environment may not be completely out of
the question, it still appears a low enough risk at this time to
maintain less than 5 percent severe probabilities.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the
U.S., Thursday through Thursday night.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that blocking will persist within the large-scale
pattern across the eastern Pacific into western North America.
However, it appears that the prominent mid-level high, centered to
the west of the Pacific Northwest coast, may begin a more
substantive weakening during this period, while a low to its
southeast begins a northeastward acceleration out of the eastern
Great Basin.
It appears that this will occur as a series of short wave
perturbations continue accelerating east-southeastward within a belt
of westerlies across southern Alaska and the Gulf of Alaska, through
northern portions of British Columbia and the Canadian Prairie
provinces. Farther downstream, another couple of perturbations are
forecast to rapidly progress across southern Ontario and Quebec
through the Canadian Maritimes.
At the same time, mid-level subtropical ridging probably will
maintain an influence across a large portion of the southeastern
U.S.
In response to these developments, in lower levels, cold surface
ridging likely will remain entrenched across much of the Great
Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. While the frontal
zone on its shallow leading edge gradually begins to weaken across
the southeastern Great Plains/lower Missouri Valley vicinity, the
front is expected to surge southeast of the lower Great Lakes/St.
Lawrence Valley region through much of the Northeast by 12Z Friday.
A plume of seasonably high precipitable water likely will be
maintained across much of the southern through mid Atlantic Coast
region, while gradually spreading westward across the eastern Gulf
states. A southerly return flow is also expected to maintain a
moist air mass above the shallow, cool surface-based air mass across
much of the southern and central Great Plains. This moisture may
continue to advect northward toward the northern Great Plains by
Thursday night, ahead of the northeastward accelerating closed low.
...Eastern U.S...
Perturbations within weak mid/upper flow, mainly near/east of the
Appalachians through southern New England, are expected to
contribute to scattered thunderstorm activity in the presence of
weak to moderate CAPE Thursday. A few thunderstorms may also
develop in a corridor along the surface front across parts of
Upstate New York into northern New England Thursday afternoon.
However, weaker instability along the frontal zone currently appears
likely to minimize any severe weather potential, despite the likely
presence of at least marginally sufficient deep-layer shear for
organized convective development.
...Great Plains...
Higher low-level moisture content and larger CAPE may be confined to
a relatively narrow corridor near the shallow leading edge of the
cold surface-based air, across parts of eastern Texas into
southwestern Missouri by late Thursday afternoon. Although
mid/upper support for thunderstorm development may remain weak, this destabilization may become supportive of scattered thunderstorm
development through Thursday evening.
Otherwise, although elevated instability likely will be much weaker
to the west/northwest, forcing for ascent ahead of the northeastward
migrating low and trailing trough axis may contribute to a corridor
of thunderstorm development across parts of west Texas, and perhaps
central Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas, Thursday night.
Additional elevated thunderstorm development appears possible to the
northeast of the mid-level low, across parts of the mid Missouri
Valley vicinity by 12Z Friday.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Friday through Friday night.
...Synopsis...
Stronger westerlies will generally remain confined to latitudes
north of the Canadian/U.S. border, particularly after one embedded
short wave perturbation accelerates across and east of northern New
England and the Canadian Maritimes during the day Friday. In its
wake, broad ridging will overspread Ontario and Quebec, ahead of a
low amplitude short wave trough forecast to turn eastward across
northern portions of the Canadian Prairie provinces. As a number of
trailing perturbations accelerate into increasingly confluent flow
across western Canada and adjacent portions of the northeast
Pacific, it appears that there will be considerable further
suppression and southeastward migration of a remnant blocking
mid-level high across the Pacific Northwest.
While models indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will linger
across the Pacific Coast states, a mid-level low emerging from the
eastern Great Basin may continue to gradually accelerate
east-northeastward across north central portions of the U.S. Great
Plains. Guidance suggests that the low may undergo appreciable
deepening, however surface development will be slowed/suppressed by
relatively cold and stable surface-based air to the lee of the
Rockies.
Cold surface ridging likely will be entrenched across much of the
Great Plains, Upper Midwest, Great Lakes region and Northeast at the
outset of the period. It appears that this air mass will advance
southward across the southern New England and northern Mid Atlantic
coast early in the period, while also nosing southward to the lee of
the central Appalachians. A gradual modification and erosion of
this air mass may proceed across the Great Plains, but a
well-defined frontal zone likely will linger across the middle
Mississippi Valley and Ozark Plateau into the northwest Gulf coast
vicinity, as well as across the lower Ohio Valley.
South/southeast of the cold surface-based air, boundary-layer
moisture content may continue to increase to seasonably high levels
across much of the Southeast. A moist southerly return flow is also
expected to continue above the shallow cold air, across the
southeastern Great Plains into the Upper Midwest.
...Southeast...
Deep-layer moistening, supportive of scattered thunderstorm activity
with daytime heating, may largely be confined to portions of the
Gulf coastal plain and coastal plain into piedmont of the
southern/middle Atlantic Coast states Friday through Friday evening.
While boundary-layer CAPE may become moderately large, weak lapse
rates and deep-layer mean flow/shear appear likely to result in
negligible severe weather potential.
...Eastern Great Plains into Upper Midwest...
Stronger lower/mid-tropospheric wind fields and forcing for ascent
associated with the progressive mid-level low/trough will, at least
initially, remain displaced to the cool side (northwest) of the
surface frontal zone. However, weak to modest CAPE rooted above the
boundary layer is expected to become supportive of increasing
thunderstorm development, particularly late Friday afternoon through
Friday night across parts of Missouri and Iowa into the Upper
Midwest. Late Friday night, surface-based or near surface-based destabilization might not be completely out of the question roughly
along the Mississippi River between St. Louis, MO and Dubuque, IA,
in the presence of strengthening low-level and deep-layer shear.
This could be accompanied by some increase in severe weather
potential. However, at this time, this potential still appears low
enough that severe probabilities will be maintained at less than 5
percent.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF INDIANA...SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AND NORTHWEST OHIO...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms may produce
locally damaging wind gusts from late Saturday afternoon into
Saturday night across portions of Indiana, lower Michigan, and Ohio.
...Southern Lower MI...Northern IN and Northwest OH...
A closed upper low and associated shortwave trough over the
northern/central Plains will become an open wave as it tracks
eastward to the upper Great Lakes by the end of the period. At the
surface, a weak cold front extending southward from a low over the
northern Canadian Prairies/Hudson Bay will develop eastward across
the Upper Midwest and Mid-MS Valley vicinity, extending from
northwest OH southwestward to the Ozark Plateau by Sunday morning.
Strong south/southwesterly low-level flow ahead of the front will
transport low/mid 60s dewpoints northward across the Midwest and
upper Great Lakes vicinity amid strengthening vertical shear during
the afternoon and overnight hours. However, poor lapse rates will
limit destabilization, with generally less than 1000 J/kg MLCAPE
forecast. As the upper shortwave trough ejects eastward, effective
shear around 30-40 kt is expected to develop mainly north of the
Ohio River. This should result in a few fast-moving organized cells
by late afternoon, and persisting into the nighttime hours across
parts of IN/OH and southern lower MI. A few strong, to locally
damaging gusts could accompany these storms.

Texas by Monday morning. Showers and thunderstorms are expected
ahead of the front from KY/TN northeastward into western PA/NY where
a corridor of 60s F surface dewpoints will reside. However, overall destabilization will be limited by poor midlevel lapse rates.
Widespread cloud cover and ongoing showers/storms at the beginning
of the period will further limit instability from the Ohio Valley northeastward. Despite modest instability, 30-35 kt effective shear
will exist from parts of OH northeastward and a loosely organized
cluster could produce some gusty, but sub-severe, winds.

In the Gulf of Mexico, T.D. 19 is forecast to become a tropical
storm by the National Hurricane Center in the Day 1/Saturday time
period off the southwest coast of FL. The center of T.D. 19 is
forecast to remain well offshore from the FL Panhandle through the
period, and the west/northwest motion will keep more favorable low
level shear offshore as well. For now, will forego tornado
probabilities as tornado occurrence is climatologically low along
the northern Gulf Coast with west or northwestward moving tropical
systems.

Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous

...Mid-South to the Ohio Valley and Northeast...
A shortwave trough over the Great Lakes is forecast to move across
the Northeast, southern Ontario, and Quebec on Sunday. At the
surface, a related cold front is also expected to develop
east-southeastward across parts of the Mid-South into the OH Valley
and western portions of the Mid-Atlantic. Fairly numerous showers
and thunderstorms should be ongoing Sunday morning over much of the
OH Valley to the Mid-South along/ahead of the front. Widespread
cloudiness associated with this morning precipitation coupled with
poor mid-level lapse rates will likely limit diurnal destabilization
ahead of the front across these regions Sunday afternoon. The
stronger flow aloft associated with the shortwave trough should also
gradually shift northeastward and away from the OH Valley through
the day. The potential for organized severe storms appears too
limited to include any wind probabilities at this time.
...Florida to the Central Gulf Coast...
Tropical Depression 19 is forecast by the National Hurricane Center
to strengthen to a Tropical Storm in the Day 1/Saturday time frame
as it moves west-northwestward over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Latest forecast track for this system should keep its enhanced
low-level winds off the FL Gulf Coast on Sunday. Although mesoscale
low-level convergence through the day may result in arcing bands of
storms across the FL Peninsula into parts of the adjacent central
Gulf Coast through Sunday afternoon, forecast low/mid-level wind
profiles across these areas do not appear overly favorable for
organized severe convection.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
...Synopsis...
A broad upper ridge will envelop much of the CONUS west of the
Mississippi River on Monday, while an upper trough develops
east/northeastward across portions of the lower Great Lakes and New
England. Surface high pressure over the upper Great Lakes will
spread eastward toward the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, confining
richer boundary-layer moisture to the southeastern U.S. due to north/northeasterly continental trajectories. Modest midlevel
moisture and midlevel lapse rates will result in diurnal
destabilization across parts of the southwestern U.S., and isolated thunderstorms will be possible.
Otherwise, additional thunderstorm activity will be confined to the
Southeast. Some of this activity will be associated with arcing
bands of thunderstorms developing well north of, but influenced by,
Tropical Storm Sally. Most of this activity will be driven by
low-level convergence as Sally slowly shifts west/northwest across
the northern Gulf of Mexico, approaching the mouth of the
Mississippi River by the end of the period, per the latest National
Hurricane Center track forecast. While low-level winds will
strengthen across the central Gulf Coast with the approach of the
system, forecast hodographs appear unfavorable for tropical
cyclone-related tornado activity, precluding probabilities at this
time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...
...SUMMARY...
A couple tornadoes may occur Monday night into early Tuesday morning
across parts of the central Gulf Coast in association with Tropical
Cyclone Sally.
...Central Gulf Coast...
Tropical Storm Sally is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to
continue moving west-northwestward across the Gulf of Mexico through
much of Monday. Some of the latest convection-allowing model
guidance has a larger wind field for Sally by Monday, and enhanced
low-level east-southeasterly winds may overspread parts of coastal
AL and the FL Panhandle by Monday afternoon. There appears to be
sufficient low-level shear (0-1 km SRH around 100-200 m2/s2) for
rotating updrafts with any storms that can form in outer rain bands.
A tornado or two appears possible across these areas, along with
isolated strong wind gusts from thunderstorms. Still, weak
instability should keep the overall severe threat isolated/marginal.
Sally should turn more northward late Monday into early Tuesday
morning per latest NHC forecast track. The eastern half of Sally's
circulation may overspread parts of coastal southeastern LA and MS
late in the period, although uncertainty in both the forward speed
and track of Sally remain apparent in both global and
convection-allowing model guidance. An increase in low-level
east-southeasterly winds and corresponding low-level shear will
probably foster some tornado threat across these areas, mainly late
Monday night through the end of the period. Given the continued
uncertainty in Sally's track and the limited forecast instability,
opted to include only low tornado and severe wind probabilities at
this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
COASTAL SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes may occur Tuesday and Tuesday night across portions
of the central Gulf Coast in association with Hurricane Sally.
...Central Gulf Coast...
Hurricane Sally should continue moving west-northwestward today per
latest NHC forecasts, before slowly turning northward on Tuesday.
Although some uncertainty still remains in the track of Sally,
confidence is increasing that at least weak destabilization will
occur into parts of coastal AL and the FL Panhandle as mid/upper 70s
surface dewpoints spread northward across these areas through the
period. With Sally intensifying rather quickly already, and
continued strengthening forecast by the NHC, a broad area of
enhanced south-southeasterly low-level winds are expected to
overspread parts of the central Gulf Coast, mainly Tuesday afternoon
through Tuesday night. The forecast combination of weak instability
and strong low-level shear will be capable of supporting
semi-discrete, low-topped supercells in outer rain bands. A few
tornadoes will be possible if this occurs. Consensus of 12Z
convection-allowing guidance suggests a greater potential for one or
more of these outer bands to set up to the east of Sally's center
across parts of southern AL into the FL Panhandle, where a Slight
Risk for tornadoes has been included.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINAS....
...SUMMARY...
A threat for tornadoes and damaging wind gusts associated with
Tropical Cyclone Sally will exist from Georgia into the Carolinas.
Potential for strong wind gusts also exists Thursday afternoon and
evening across western Oregon and far southwest Washington.
...Georgia into the Mid-Atlantic...
Predominantly weak flow aloft will persist across the southern half
of the CONUS Thursday with high pressure remaining in place over the
Four Corners region and modest mid-level trough moving slowly
southeastward over the southern Plains. The only exception to this
weak flow over the southern CONUS is in the vicinity of TC Sally.
Sally is forecast to begin the Day 2 period as a tropical depression
near the central AL/GA border before continuing northeastward across
central GA into SC.
Strong low to mid-level flow will persist throughout the eastern
periphery of the system, spreading from GA across the Carolinas.
This will result in a kinematic space favorable for tornadogenesis.
Primary concerns, as is typical with tropical systems, is the degree
of destabilization and storm mode. Faster motion of the system
suggests there may be more opportunity for increased cellular
convection ahead of the system while still maintaining well-formed
rainbands. This will result in a greater opportunity for more
persistent updrafts to realize the strong low-level vertical shear. Additionally, low to mid 70s dewpoints will likely be in place ahead
of the main convective bands associated with Sally. This ample
low-level moisture will support modest buoyancy, despite the poor
lapse rates associated with the tropical air mass. As such, the
overall parameter space appears supportive of tornadoes throughout
much of Day 2, including overnight Thursday into early Friday
morning across the Carolinas.
...Pacific Northwest...
Farther northwest, an upper low will begin the day centered off the
Pacific Northwest coast. A strong shortwave trough is forecast to
progress through the base of this low, reaching the southern
OR/northern CA coast during the early afternoon. Increased mid-level
moisture associated with this shortwave trough will result in modest
elevated instability, primarily across portions of OR west of the
Cascades. The strong forcing for ascent attendant to this shortwave
coupled with the modest instability is expected to result in
thunderstorm development between 21Z and 00Z.
While much of the environment only support elevated storms,
potential for a few surface-based storms does exist during the brief
window before low-level nocturnal stabilization begins. In either
case, the resulting storms are expected to move quickly northward/north-northeastward during the evening. Given the strength
of the vertical shear and progressive forcing for ascent, strong
gusty winds could accompany these storms.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms are not currently expected across the
contiguous United States on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
Upper pattern is expected to be relatively progressive on Saturday
as the trough/ridge/trough orientation shifts eastward. The western
upper trough is forecast to extend south-central BC into the western
Great Basin early Saturday before continuing eastward/northward
throughout the day, reaching the northern High Plains by the end of
the period. Cooler mid-level temperatures, increased mid-level
moisture, and persistent forcing for ascent associated with this
upper trough will contribute to isolated thunderstorms from the northern/central Rockies into the northern High Plains. Majority of
this activity is expected to be displaced north of the stronger
mid-level flow, limiting vertical shear and likely precluding severe thunderstorm development.
Upper troughing will spread across the Plains ahead of the western
trough while the eastern troughing gradually drifts eastward,
deepening late in the period as shortwave trough moves through its
base over the Upper Great Lakes.
Surface pattern across much of the eastern CONUS will be dominated
by an expansive area of high pressure. Lee troughing is anticipated
across the northern and central High Plains ahead of the approaching
western CONUS trough, but limited low-level moisture should temper
any thunderstorm potential.
Isolated thunderstorms also appear possible across parts of the FL
Peninsula, ahead of a weakening frontal zone, and along portions of
the Gulf Coast, associated with deepening Tropical Depression 22.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The severe potential associated with Tropical Storm Beta over the
western Gulf of Mexico appears too limited to include low severe
probabilities for Sunday across any portion of coastal Texas.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Tropical Storm Beta is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to
remain over the western Gulf of Mexico Sunday while moving slowly
westward and strengthening into a hurricane. Latest deterministic
guidance remains in general agreement with this scenario, but
considerable uncertainty still exists regarding how close Beta will
approach the TX Coast, particularly Sunday night. Low-level
east-northeasterly winds will probably increase across some portion
of this region through the period, with a corresponding increase in
low-level shear. However, greater low-level moisture associated with
this system will likely remain over the Gulf and to the south of a
remnant surface front, limiting inland destabilization. No severe
probabilities have been included across coastal TX given these
uncertainties and potentially limiting factors.
Farther north, an upper trough is forecast to move northeastward
from the northern Plains across parts of the Upper Midwest and into
central Canada though the period. Isolated thunderstorms may occur
Sunday across these areas along/ahead of an eastward-moving cold
front. Although steep mid-level level lapse rates will be present
across the warm sector, limited low-level moisture will likely keep
instability rather weak. Overall thunderstorm coverage is also
uncertain, as a low-level inversion may hinder convective
initiation.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to remain quite low on
Sunday. It still appears as if any severe threat associated with
Tropical Storm Beta will remain offshore through Monday morning.
...TX/LA Gulf Coast...
NHC is forecasting Tropical Storm Beta to move slowly westward
across the western Gulf of Mexico on Sunday and remain offshore of
the TX Gulf Coast through the end of the forecast period (12Z
Monday). The current relatively dry/stable environment along the
immediate TX/LA Gulf Coast will require significant modification to
support any brief tornado threat, and the current forecast track
would not support any appreciable surface-based destabilization
inland prior to the end of the period, so no probabilities have been
included at this time. If Beta ends up moving faster and/or further
north than currently expected, then low-end tornado probabilities
may eventually be needed across some portion of the immediate TX/LA
Gulf Coast.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS COAST AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
An isolated threat for strong/gusty thunderstorm winds and perhaps a
tornado or two may exist across parts of the middle/upper Texas
Coast and a small portion of coastal Louisiana on Monday in
association with Tropical Storm Beta.
...Coastal Texas/Louisiana...
Tropical Storm Beta is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to
approach the middle TX Coast on Monday, perhaps making landfall
sometime Monday night. Latest guidance continues to suggest that at
least mid 70s surface dewpoints will spread inland across parts of
the middle/upper TX Coast and far southwestern LA through the
period. Modestly enhanced east-southeasterly low-level winds should
also be present in the northeastern quadrant of Beta's circulation.
Latest official NHC forecast indicates little potential for Beta to
strengthen further before landfall due to the continued presence of
moderate southwesterly shear and fairly dry air at mid levels. Even
so, there remains a signal in most guidance that a favorable overlap
of weak instability and sufficient low-level shear should occur
somewhere along the middle/upper TX Coast and perhaps far
southwestern LA Monday into Monday night. Isolated low-topped
thunderstorms in outer rain bands capable of producing occasional
strong/gusty straight-line winds and perhaps a tornado or two
appears to be the main threat. The ongoing Marginal Risk has been
adjusted slightly to the northeast to account for the latest
forecast track of Beta.

INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
An isolated threat for a brief/weak tornado may develop Tuesday for
parts of the upper Texas Coast into coastal Louisiana in association
with Tropical Cyclone Beta.
...Coastal Southeastern Texas into Southern Louisiana...
Tropical Storm Beta is currently forecast by the National Hurricane
Center to be near the middle TX Coast early Tuesday morning and
drift slowly northeastward along the coast while weakening. Model
guidance shows modest low-level shear (primarily before the late
afternoon) co-located with low to mid 70s surface dewpoints.
Forecast hodographs correspondingly are forecast to be largest
during the morning before gradually reducing in size during the
afternoon into the evening. Effective shear near 25 kt may support
transient storm organization. A weak spout associated with
nonsupercell convection or a brief/weak tornado with a marginal
supercell cannot be ruled out near the Upper Coast of TX and
southwestern LA. The risk will likely diminish late in the day and
into Tuesday night.
...North Dakota...
A shortwave trough embedded within mid-level westerly flow is
forecast to move eastward along the U.S./Canada border from the
Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains through the period.
Low-level moisture is forecast to remain quite meager ahead of this
feature until it reaches the vicinity of ND late Tuesday night,
where upper 40s to perhaps low/mid 50s surface dewpoints may be
present. A modest southerly low-level jet along with a
southeastward-surging cold front may aid convective initiation late
Tuesday night across northern ND into south-central Canada. Steep
mid-level lapse rates should also be present over this region, and
potential exists for mainly elevated storms to produce some hail
given the forecast combination of weak to locally moderate
instability and strong deep-layer shear. Regardless, will continue
to defer inclusion of any severe probabilities across northern ND,
as latest guidance differs on both the degree of low-level moisture
present and overall storm coverage.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EAST CENTRAL/NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA AND ADJACENT NORTHWESTERN
WISCONSIN...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to severe storms may occur Wednesday evening across
parts of northeastern Minnesota and into northwestern Wisconsin.
Large hail should be the main threat, along with potential for a
strong gust or two.
...Synopsis...
Weak flow aloft will prevail over roughly the southern 2/3 of the
CONUS this period, with T.D. Beta -- moving slowly northeastward
across east Texas and Louisiana through the period -- the primary
feature of interest. Please refer to the latest forecast
information from the National Hurricane Center, regarding T.D. Beta.
Farther north, a short-wave trough will advance steadily eastward
across the north-central portion of the country, ahead of a
larger/stronger trough over the Gulf of Alaska. A short-wave piece
of the larger trough is forecast to shift inland into the Pacific
Northwest overnight.
At the surface, a cold front is forecast to advance across the
northwestern states ahead of the aforementioned trough, while a
weaker low lingers in the vicinity of the mid Missouri Valley. A
warm front extending east-northeastward from this low to the Lake
Superior vicinity may focus a small area of strong to severe storms
during the second half of the period.
...Upper Mississippi Valley region...
Isolated evening thunderstorms are expected to develop across
portions of east central and northeastern Minnesota, and then spread
into northwestern Wisconsin overnight, near a warm-frontal boundary
forecast to extend east-northeastward across this area, east of a
weak mid Missouri Valley surface low.
Though westerly mid-level flow near 40 kt across the area suggests
shear sufficient for organized storms, modest CAPE is expected,
which should hinder overall storm intensity/severe potential. Thus,
will maintain only 5%/MRGL risk for hail, and possibly and stronger
wind gust or two.
...Louisiana vicinity...
As Beta drifts slowly northeastward across the Sabine River Valley
area, bands of convection will continue spreading across the lower
Mississippi River Valley area. Widespread clouds should largely
hinder potential for any appreciable heating/destabilization, and
thus expect convection to remain weak. Though low-level shear is
expected to be sufficient for some low-level rotation in any
stronger/sustained convective cell, risk for a brief/weak tornado
appears too low at this time to warrant introduction of a 2% tornado probability/MRGL categorical risk area.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms may occur Thursday across parts of
Mississippi into southern/central Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado or two will be the main
threats.
...Synopsis...
Weak flow aloft is forecast across the southern half of the U.S.
Thursday, with the faster/more active belt of westerlies to remain
over the northern half of the country through the period.
Mid-level remnants of tropical system Beta, and a short-wave trough
moving across the Great Lakes region, are forecast to gradually
merge across the northeastern quarter of the country. Meanwhile, as
a short-wave trough moves across the northwestern states and
Canadian Rockies, an accompanying westerly mid-level jet will expand
across the northwestern and eventually north-central portions of the
CONUS.
At the surface, the remnant low that was Beta will weaken with time
as it crosses Mississippi and later moves into the Tennessee Valley
region. Meanwhile, a low over the upper Midwest will likewise
weaken with time, as a cold front crosses the northwestern quarter
of the country and eventually shifts into the Dakotas/Nebraska
overnight.
...Parts of Mississippi into Alabama and the Florida Panhandle...
Though remnant tropical system Beta is expected to continue
weakening as it shifts slowly northeastward across the central Gulf
Coast states, southerly winds ahead of the system will advect rich
Gulf moisture northward into this area. Despite the moist low
levels, any diurnal heating will be at least partially offset by
weak lapse rates aloft, thus yielding only modest CAPE. Still,
given veering flow with height east and southeast of the remnant
low, shear may be sufficient to support a couple of stronger storms,
and associated/low-probability potential for locally gusty winds --
and possibly a brief tornado or two -- mainly during the first half
of the period.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE SOUTHEAST...AND OVER PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN UPPER GREAT
LAKES REGION...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Friday across
parts of the Southeast, and later over a portion of the western
Upper Great Lakes area.
...Synopsis...
While weak flow aloft will continue to prevail across the southern
half of the country, fast/weakly cyclonic westerly flow over the
northern Rockies/northern Plains will expand gradually eastward
across the upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes area. Within this fast
belt of flow, several embedded vorticity maxima will traverse the
northern tier of the CONUS. Farther south, a short-wave trough over
the Ohio Valley and Mid South region will cross the Appalachians and
move into the Southeast states through the period.
At the surface, a cold front is forecast to shift gradually eastward/southeastward across the north-central U.S. with time, and
should extend from the Upper Great Lakes to the Colorado Front Range
by Saturday morning. Elsewhere, a very weak/remnant low is forecast
to drift from Tennessee to the Carolinas through the period.
...The Southeast...
Modest heating over the Southeast during the day, combined with a
moist low-level airmass ahead of a very weak Mid South/southern
Appalachians remnant of tropical system Beta, will permit bands of
showers and thunderstorms to increase through the day, spreading
across Georgia and the Carolinas with time. With ample low-level
veering of the flow with height to persist, and some enhancement to
the mid-level westerlies in conjunction with short-wave trough
aloft, a few stronger/organized updrafts will likely evolve with
time. Along with potential for locally gusty winds capable of
mainly tree damage, a brief tornadic spin-up or two will also be
possible across this region.
...Northern Wisconsin and western Upper Michigan...
The eastward advance of a surface cold front, and associated upper
short-wave troughing, across the upper Mississippi Valley during the afternoon/evening may support isolated convective development in the northwestern Wisconsin/western Lake Superior vicinity by early
evening, while capping is expected to largely suppress convective
development with southwestward extent along the cold front.
Where any storm can develop, modest CAPE and sufficient shear
suggest potential for updraft intensification -- warranting mention
of local risk for gusty winds and/or hail -- mainly during the
evening hours.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms strong enough to produce occasional hail are
possible across portions of the Upper Midwest Saturday evening into
early Sunday morning.
...Upper Midwest...
Broad upper troughing is forecast to be in place across the northern
CONUS early Saturday morning before deepening/amplifying throughout
the day. Lead shortwave trough embedded within this upper troughing
is expected to progress from the northern High Plains eastward
across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. An associated surface
low will move just ahead of the shortwave while an attendant cold
front sweeps across the northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest.
Mid 60s dewpoints and steep mid-level lapse rates will be in place
ahead of this front, but warm and dry mid-levels will result in
substantial convective inhibition across much of the region
(particularly with southern extent into the Mid MS Valley).
Consequently, surface-based, warm-sector storms are unlikely.
However, robust warm-air advection associated with strong low-level southwesterly flow may result in scattered elevated thunderstorms
north of the warm front (i.e. over northern WI and Upper MI)
Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Buoyancy will be limited
but strong vertical shear could still result in a few updrafts
strong enough to produce hail.
...Elsewhere...
Scattered thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across eastern VA and
the Carolinas Saturday morning, ahead of a compact shortwave trough
forecast to continue eastward off the central East Coast by Saturday
afternoon.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...OZARK PLATEAU...AND LOWER MO
VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible late Sunday afternoon
through Sunday evening across northern portions of the southern
Plains and adjacent Ozark Plateau.
...Synopsis...
Overall upper pattern is expected to amplify significantly on Sunday
as troughing deepens across the central CONUS and ridging builds
over the western CONUS. The central CONUS deepening will be induced
primarily by the progression of a strong shortwave trough from the
northern Rockies into the central Plains. A cold front will begin
the period extending southwestward from a low over south-central
Ontario to another low in the central TX Panhandle.
Evolution of the previously mentioned shortwave trough (and
accompanying cold air in its wake) will result in the
southward/southeastward surge of this front, taking it through the
mid MS Valley and majority of the southern Plains by early Monday
morning.
Elsewhere, a weak upper low is forecast to be centered over the
Mid-South early Sunday. This low is expected to transition to an
open wave while accelerating northeastward over the Southeast and TN
Valley ahead of amplifying upper trough over the Plains.
...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau and Lower MO Valley...
A warm and seasonally moist air mass is expected to be in place
across the region ahead of the approaching cold front. These warm
and moist low-levels beneath steep mid-level lapse rates favor
strong buoyancy. However, warm mid-level temperatures and resulting
convective inhibition introduce uncertainty regarding convective
initiation within the open warm sector ahead the front. A more
likely scenario is for storms to develop along the front, with the
progressive, fast-moving character of the front then quickly
undercutting any updrafts. Strengthening low-level southerly flow
ahead of the front could also lead to additional post-frontal
development.
All of these factors point to predominantly elevated storms. The
vertical shear is expected to be strong enough to support rotation
within the more robust updrafts, with an attendant threat for
isolated severe hail. Given the strength of the low-level flow along
and behind the front, convectively augmented downdrafts could be
strong enough to result in a damaging wind gust or two.
...Southeast GA into Northern FL...
Shortwave trough moving quickly across the Southeast and TN Valley
is expected to result in scattered thunderstorms across portions of
AL, GA, and northern FL. Enhanced mid-level flow throughout the base
of this shortwave could result in a few more organized storms and
the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts. Uncertainty
regarding the speed and strength of the shortwave as well as the
degree of air mass destabilization results in too much uncertainty
to introduce any probabilities with this outlook.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND OZARK PLATEAU...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible late Sunday afternoon
through Sunday evening across northern portions of the southern
Plains and adjacent Ozark Plateau.
...Southern Plains through Ozark Plateau area...
Significant amplification of a synoptic trough is expected across
the central U.S. Sunday with a series of embedded vorticity maxima
moving southeast through the central Plains. In association with the
amplifying trough, a seasonably strong cold front, initially
extending from the upper Great Lakes southwestward through KS and
the TX Panhandle, will advance southeast during the period. By 12Z
Monday this boundary should stretch from the lower Great Lakes into
southern AR and south central TX. Surface dewpoints in the mid to
upper 60s F will reside in the pre-frontal warm sector, and the
atmosphere is expected to become moderately unstable with 1500-2000
J/kg MLCAPE but with modest lapse rates. Weak forcing and a thermal
inversion suggest the warm sector will remain capped to
surface-based storms during the day. However, storms will likely
initiate along and north of the cold front by late afternoon.
Activity developing near the cold front will likely be quickly
undercut, favoring mostly elevated storms capable of some hail, but
a few locally strong gusts are also possible. Given the largely
ana-frontal nature of the setup and a modest thermodynamic
environment, overall threat does not appear to warrant more than a
MRGL risk category at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER OH VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of isolated damaging wind gusts are possible
along a cold front as it moves across the Ohio Valley.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A deep upper trough is expected to be in place over the central and
eastern CONUS early Monday morning before progressing eastward and
deepening throughout the day. Two distinct circulations will be
embedded within this upper troughing, one which will gradually move east-northeastward across the Upper Great Lakes and one which move
southward through the mid MS Valley towards the Mid-South. Farther
west, upper ridging over the western CONUS is forecast to build
eastward in the wake of the upper trough, extending from the Pacific
Northwest into central Mexico by the end of the period.
At the surface, cold front along the leading edge of the continental
air mass (associated with the upper trough) will likely extend from southwestern Ontario southwestward into the TX Hill Country early
Monday morning. Continued eastward/southeastward progression of this
front is forecast throughout the day, with the front expected to
extend from a low over the Lower Great Lakes region southwestward
into the northwestern Gulf of Mexico by Monday evening. Surface
cyclogenesis is anticipated late Monday night/early Tuesday morning
along the portion of front across the Southeast, induced by lift
attendant to previously mentioned embedded upper low.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected along the length of the
front, with predominantly anafrontal character to the storms. The
only exception is across the middle and upper OH Valley, where
strong flow aloft is expected to more closely align with the surface
front. As a result, the potential for a few strong, convectively
augmented gusts exists along the front. Abundant cloud cover and
limited buoyancy is currently expected, precluding a more widespread
damaging wind gust potential.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
CAROLINAS INTO A PORTION OF THE COASTAL MIDDLE ATLANTIC...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms with isolated damaging wind and a couple
of tornadoes are possible across the eastern Carolinas into the
coastal Middle Atlantic Tuesday.
...Eastern Carolinas into the coastal Middle Atlantic...
Synoptic upper trough will undergo significant amplification over
the eastern states today through early Tuesday with deep layer flow
becoming increasingly parallel to the accompanying cold front. This
front should extend from a surface low in southeastern Canada
through the western Carolinas and into the central Gulf by 12Z
tomorrow. The front will continue slowly east and off the Atlantic
Seaboard toward the end of day 2. A significant vorticity maximum is
forecast to rotate through the base of the synoptic trough then
northeast into the Carolinas and Middle Atlantic Tuesday night.
Forcing accompanying this feature will remain mostly in the post
frontal zone, but will be sufficient to induce a weak cyclone that
will move from the Carolinas through the Middle Atlantic overnight,
before reaching the Northeast States late Tuesday night.
Rich low-level moisture with low 70s F dewpoints will reside in the
pre-frontal sector, but very weak lapse rates, widespread clouds and
ongoing areas of showers and storms will limit potential for
significant destabilization with MLCAPE from 400-800 J/kg possible.
While a few strong storms with gusty winds might be possible with
activity developing along and ahead of the front during the day
given sufficient (40-45 kt) unidirectional shear, the best severe
threat may be during the evening and overnight when frontogenetic
forcing and low-level shear increase in association with an
intensifying southerly low-level jet from the eastern Carolinas into
the Middle Atlantic. This process may result in the development of a
more robust line of storms along the cold front with potential for a
few embedded organized structures capable of damaging wind and
perhaps a couple of tornadoes. Given an expected marginal
thermodynamic environment, will maintain MRGL risk category this
outlook and continue to monitor for a possible SLGT risk upgrade in
later updates.
...Southern New England...
The stronger frontogenetic forcing might result in development of a
low-topped line of convection with little to no lightning across
southern New England late in the period. Though a few strong wind
gusts cannot be ruled out, will preclude introduction of severe
probabilities this update given expected very limited instability.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A large-scale upper trough will persist over much of the CONUS east
of the Rockies on Wednesday. A shortwave trough embedded within this larger-scale system is forecast to extend from the Mid-Atlantic
vicinity into FL early Wednesday, and lift northeastward through the
period. A surface cold front attendant to a low over New England and
Quebec will extend from VT/NH into eastern MA/CT southward to the
offshore waters along the Atlantic coast before intersecting
southern FL. Moist and unstable conditions could result in isolated thunderstorms across southern FL, though weak shear and poor
midlevel lapse rates will preclude severe thunderstorm potential. A
couple of thunderstorms may be ongoing near Cape Cod for an hour or
two at the very start of the period, but the cold front will quickly
shift east and push any activity offshore.
Otherwise, cold temperatures aloft will result in steep midlevel
lapse rates across the Great Lakes region, promoting weak
destabilization during the afternoon/early evening. Weak
instability, combined with moderate to strong mid/upper flow and
forcing for ascent streaming across the region as the upper trough
pivots eastward, could result in a few weak thunderstorms from the
Lake Michigan vicinity eastward to western NY.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
An amplified upper level pattern will persist across the CONUS on
Thursday, with a ridge over the western states and a trough over the
eastern states. Surface high pressure will develop east/southeast
from the Plains toward the Midwest through the period. A generally
dry and stable airmass will be in place behind the prior cold front
which moved across the eastern U.S. earlier this week. This will
limit thunderstorm activity except across south FL where deeper
moisture and stronger heating will result in isolated thunderstorm
potential.
Additional isolated thunderstorms are possible across parts of the
Great Lakes as well. Cold temperatures aloft will result in steep
lapse rates and weak instability as a shortwave trough embedded in
larger-scale eastern trough pivots east/northeast across the Midwest
and Northeast on Thursday.
Warm and dry conditions beneath the western upper ridge will
preclude thunderstorm activity west of the Rockies.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.
...Discussion...
Large-scale pattern is expected to remain unfavorable for
thunderstorms across much of the CONUS during the day2 period, with
the exceptions of south Florida and in the lee of the lower Great
Lakes.
Dominant upper ridge will remain anchored over the western US
through this weekend which will ensure troughing east of the
Rockies. One significant short-wave trough will rotate across the
upper OH Valley into New England Friday afternoon. Lowering
heights/cooling mid-level temperatures will become increasingly
favorable for weak convection across Lake Ontario extending into
northern portions of NY. While most convection will struggle to
attain heights necessary for lightning, isolated thunderstorms are
expected with the strongest updrafts.
Farther south across the southern FL Peninsula, a prolonged corridor
of low-level confluence is expected to remain focused across the FL Straits/south FL. Poor lapse rates, but very moist, and adequately
buoyant, profiles suggest some thunderstorm threat across this
region through the period.

Severe thunderstorms are not expected Saturday.
...Discussion...
Upper ridge will hold over the southwestern US while troughing
remains the predominant feature east of the Rockies. As a result, higher-quality moisture/buoyancy have been shunted into the
southeast Gulf basin, extending across the FL Peninsula. While lapse
rates will remain poor across this region, an elongated corridor of
low-level confluence will persist across the southern Peninsula
which will likely focus convection through the period.
Farther west, a secondary mid-level short-wave trough will dig
southeast across the Great Plains to a position from eastern
KS/central OK by 04/06z. This feature will encourage weak convection
along/just north of a surface front as it sags southeast across
KS/OK into MO/AR region. A narrow zone of stronger boundary-layer
heating should be noted ahead of the front from northwest TX into
south-central OK. While low-level lapse rates will steepen along
this corridor, forecast soundings suggest convective temperatures
may not be breached. For this reason, frontal lift should result in
more elevated updrafts.

...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Sunday through Sunday night.
...Discussion...
Models continue to indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will
persist within the westerlies across the northern mid-latitude
eastern Pacific into British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest,
with general troughing east of the Rockies. However, inland of the
Pacific coast, flow may continue to trend a bit more zonal.
At least a pair of short wave perturbations, comprising initially
amplified mid-level troughing across the Upper Midwest into the
lower Missouri Valley and Ozark Plateau at the outset of the period,
are forecast to trend out of phase Sunday through Sunday night. It
appears that the most significant of these will accelerate
east-northeastward across the lower Ohio Valley, toward northern Mid
Atlantic coastal areas. As it approaches the coast late Sunday
night, associated forcing may contribute to surface wave development
along a frontal zone offshore.
Seasonably high precipitable water will remain confined to a narrow
plume along the frontal zone, extending southwestward across the
Florida Peninsula into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Scattered
thunderstorm activity appears most probable near the Gulf Stream and
across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, with potential for
appreciable boundary-layer destabilization inland of Florida coastal
areas remaining a bit more unclear.
Otherwise, some scattered, weak thunderstorm activity appears
possible late Sunday afternoon and evening across parts of
central/eastern Ohio and adjacent portions of the Ohio Valley, where
the mid-level cold pool associated with the vigorous short wave
trough may overspread a corridor of stronger daytime heating.

activity, though a lightning flash or two is possible across parts
of the Ohio Valley where cold temperatures aloft will result in
steep lapse rates amid shallow convection. However, coverage is
expected to be sparse and less than 10%. Greater thunderstorm
coverage is possible further southeast across the central/southern
FL Peninsula where deeper boundary layer moisture and warmer
temperatures will allow for greater destabilization ahead of the
surface front. Additional isolated thunderstorms also are possible
near the NC Outer Banks.
Warm and dry conditions will continue across the western states as a

...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Monday through Monday night.
...Discussion...
Models continue to indicate that low-amplitude mid-level ridging
within the westerlies will expand eastward, from the northern
mid-latitude eastern Pacific through the Canadian Prairies and
northern U.S. Great Plains by late Monday night. Downstream,
mid-level flow likely will remain largely zonal, with a number of
embedded, progressive short wave troughs.
One of these perturbations is forecast to accelerate east of the
northern Mid Atlantic coast during the day Monday, accompanied by a
developing wave along an offshore frontal zone. While the front
advances further away from the Mid Atlantic coast, it may slowly
advance northward through portions of northern Florida, and more
rapidly northwestward through the central Gulf of Mexico, to the
north of Tropical Storm Gamma.
Seasonably high moisture content will remain confined to areas along
and south of this front, with substantive boundary-layer
destabilization generally limited to central and southern portions
of the Florida Peninsula during the day Monday. This could provide
support for some thunderstorm activity.
Elsewhere, generally dry and/or stable conditions are expected to
prevail with negligible risk for thunderstorm activity.

Mid-level ridging is expected to persist across the western United

At the surface, much of the eastern United States will be under the
influence of a cool, dry continental airmass in the wake of previous
frontal passages. The composite of these frontal intrusions is
draped across the northern Florida Peninsula. To its south,
seasonably high moisture content and modest surface destabilization
will support a risk for thunderstorms. However, the overall
environment will remain unsupportive of organized severe
thunderstorms.

thunderstorm activity in these areas.
Further north across the upper Great Lakes area, strong
northwesterly flow will overspread the region as the upper trough

Thunderstorms associated with marginally severe wind gusts will be
possible across parts of Upstate New York through northern New
England Wednesday afternoon and evening.
...Upstate New York/northern New England...
An upper-level trough will move eastward from the lower Great Lakes
Wednesday morning into New England Wednesday afternoon. At the
surface, a low will deepen and move across southern Quebec. An
associated cold front will advance eastward across New York and into
New England. Ahead of the front, a corridor of weak instability will
be in place from Lake Ontario eastward into central New England.
Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop along this corridor
during the day as the cold front moves eastward across the region.
MLCAPE near 500 J/kg along with 850 mb winds of 40 to 50 kt will
create conditions supportive of marginally severe wind gusts. The
wind damage potential should remain very isolated due to the weak
instability and does not warrant the issuance of a slight risk.

A tornado is possible over southern Louisiana Thursday night.
...Central Gulf Coast...
Hurricane Delta is forecast to move north over the west-central Gulf
of Mexico on Thursday and Thursday night and approach the Louisiana
coast according to the National Hurricane Center's latest forecast.
A maritime tropical airmass will gradually infiltrate the coastal
parishes of Louisiana during the day and the I-10 corridor during
the evening and overnight. Within the outer northeastern envelope
of Hurricane Delta, low-level flow is forecast to intensify across
southern Louisiana with enlarged hodographs. As low-level moisture
increases and surface dewpoints rise into the lower-mid 70s F, the
development of 200-800 J/kg MLCAPE is possible across southern
Louisiana. A few of the stronger updrafts located in the outer
bands of Delta may yield intermittent storm-scale rotation and a
possible tornado risk, mainly late Thursday night into early Friday
morning.
Elsewhere, generally tranquil conditions will occur across much of
the contiguous United States.

coast. and building large-scale ridging across the Canadian/U.S.
Rockies through the Canadian Prairies and the northern U.S. Great
Plains. Downstream of the ridging, a short wave trough is forecast
to dig across northwestern Ontario.
Within a lingering weaker branch, split off to the south of the
stronger flow, a short wave trough, with an embedded mid-level low,
may gradually begin to progress into southern California and
adjacent areas of the Southwest. As this occurs, some eastward
progression of weak downstream troughing east of the southern Great
Plains is expected, though mid-level ridging across the subtropical
western Atlantic into parts of the Southeast may hold firm.
In response to these developments, Hurricane Delta is forecast to
continue accelerating northward, then northeastward, around the
periphery of the ridging, before the mid-level circulation center
becomes increasingly absorbed within the mid-level trough, as it
progresses inland of the Louisiana Gulf coast. Delta is expected to
be in the process of weakening as it makes landfall by early Friday
evening, and more rapid weakening probably will ensue as it
continues inland across Louisiana, late Friday evening through
daybreak Saturday.
In advance of Delta, and ahead of the weak mid/upper troughing
emerging from the southern Great Plains, seasonably high
precipitable water content likely will advect north-northeastward in
a plume off the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. However, relatively
dry/potential cool boundary-layer air as far south as portions of
the Gulf coastal plain may be initially slow to modify.
...Gulf Coast...
At the outset of the period, it still appears that surface dew
points near or just above 70 F may be confined to immediate coastal
areas, though perhaps a bit farther inland across southeastern
Louisiana than other areas, to the north of Hurricane Delta. Across
the remainder of the Gulf coastal plain, surface dew points may
generally be in the mid/upper 60s F, with mid 70s F dew points
mostly well offshore.
Given the warm mid-level environment initially present, and
advecting inland with Delta, mid 70s surface dew points probably
will need to advect inland to contribute to sufficient
boundary-layer destabilization to support an appreciable risk for
tornadoes. Forecast soundings in recent model runs are increasingly
suggestive that this is possible, at least in a corridor inland of
southeastern Louisiana coastal areas, just in advance of and with
the landfall of Delta. East-northeast and east of the low-level
circulation center, enlarging, clockwise-curved low-level hodographs
in forecast soundings also appear increasingly conducive to tornado
potential, in the presence of weak boundary-layer layer instability,
perhaps by mid to late Friday afternoon.
The tornado threat may persist into Friday evening, before probably
diminishing overnight.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHERN
LOUISIANA INTO FAR SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are possible mainly across parts of southern
Louisiana Friday afternoon and evening.
...Central Gulf Coast...
Hurricane Delta will move northward and make landfall on the
southwest Louisiana coast Friday evening and move
north-northeastward across central into northeast Louisiana
according to the latest National Hurricane Center forecast. The
gradual northward advection of a very moist/tropical airmass into
southern Louisiana will occur during the day as the low-level wind
field intensifies in the northeast quadrant of Hurricane Delta.
Forecast soundings show mid 70s F dewpoints coincident with the
development of several hundred J/kg SBCAPE with large hodographs. A
few of the stronger updrafts within the outer bands of Delta may
intermittently acquire low-level mesosyclones and a tornado risk.
The tornado risk will slowly spread northward during the
evening/overnight into southern MS, with the tornado threat
diminishing with time across southern coastal parishes of Louisiana
and eventually into central Louisiana during the early morning as
low-level winds veer.

...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are possible on Saturday across parts of Alabama and Mississippi. Severe gusts are possible across parts of northern New
York into western Maine.
...MS/AL/Fl Panhandle...
Tropical cyclone Delta will move from northeast Louisiana to near
the AL/MS/TN border during the period according to the latest
National Hurricane Center forecast. A very moist airmass will
become conditionally unstable during the day amidst thinning cloud
cover/cloud breaks within the southeast quadrant of Delta. Modest
heating will contribute to weak buoyancy (250-750 J/kg MLCAPE)
maximizing in an arc from southwest AL northward near the AL/MS
border and protruding north-northwestward into north-central MS by
mid-late afternoon. It appears a window of opportunity for
appreciable destabilization will overlap with strong low-level
flow/enlarged hodographs to yield a risk for a more focused zone of
low-level mesoyclone potential. It seems the tornado threat will be
highest during the afternoon and perhaps linger into the early
evening before diminishing coincident with the loss of diurnal
heating.
...Northern New England into western NY...
An upper trough is forecast to amplify across Quebec, with strong
low to mid-level west-southwesterly flow overspreading much of the
Northeast by Saturday afternoon. A cold front initially near the
St. Lawrence Valley at midday will move east-southeastward across
New England and the Adirondacks by early Saturday evening. Although
only limited low-level moisture is forecast in advance of the cold
front (50s deg F), cool 500mb temperatures around -16 deg C will
yield 200-800 J/kg MLCAPE from the Mohawk Valley northward into
western Maine. A broken band of low-topped storms is forecast by
mid afternoon and expected to grow upscale with time. The strong to
very strong low-level westerly flow will enlarge hodographs such
that a tornado cannot be ruled out. However, the primary severe
risk will be scattered damaging gusts associated with a combination
of fast-moving clusters/linear segments via momentum transport. The
severe risk will likely diminish by the early evening as storms move
east of the instability axis and nocturnal stabilization lessens the
risk for severe gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Sunday across
parts of the northern/central Plains into the Upper Midwest, with
marginally severe thunderstorms also possible across parts of the
Southeast.
...Northern/Central Plains into the Upper Midwest...
A large-scale upper trough over western Canada and the northern
Rockies will move eastward Sunday into central Canada, the
northern/central Plains, and Upper Midwest. This upper trough should
acquire a negative tilt by Sunday evening, while strong low to
mid-level south-southwesterly winds overspread these regions. At the
surface, a cold front will sweep eastward across the Dakotas and NE
Sunday afternoon/evening, and continue into the Upper Midwest Sunday
night. An EML will likely suppress convective development along the
front through much of the day until it encounters mid 50s to perhaps
lower 60s surface dewpoints late Sunday afternoon across far eastern
SD, southwestern MN, and vicinity. The steep mid-level lapse rates
present with the EML combined with modest low-level moisture return
ahead of the front should support a narrow corridor of around
500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE by peak afternoon heating.
Strong forcing for ascent associated with the approaching upper
trough will likely encourage convective initiation by late Sunday
afternoon into the evening along the eastward-advancing cold front.
30-40 kt of effective bulk shear will foster organized updrafts,
with the steep mid-level lapse rates perhaps supporting some large
hail with initial convective development. The severe wind threat
should increase by Sunday evening into parts of MN and
western/central IA as storms congeal along the cold front and
quickly grow upscale into a fast moving line. This squall line
should gradually weaken with eastward extent across the Upper
Midwest Sunday night as it outpaces the already modest low-level
moisture return and weak instability. But, it may still pose an
isolated strong/gusty wind risk until the instability becomes too
meager to support surface-based storms. How far east this gusty wind
potential will last Sunday night remains uncertain, so have expanded
the Marginal Risk eastward into more of southeastern MN and
central/eastern IA. Latest guidance also suggests that there is less
potential for low-level moisture return into northern MN, so severe probabilities have been reduced across this area.
...Southeast...
The remnants of Delta are forecast by the National Hurricane Center
to move northeastward from the TN Valley towards the upper OH Valley
on Sunday. The surface low is forecast to remain rather weak through
the period, although a warm front should also advance slowly
northward across the Carolinas through Sunday evening. Around 30-35
kt of mid-level southwesterly flow should be present across parts of
eastern GA into SC/NC in association with Delta's remnant mid-level circulation. NAM forecast soundings across these areas show enough veering/strengthening of the wind profile in low/mid levels to
support modest storm organization. Around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE
should also be present along/south of the warm front as low-level
moisture gradually increases and surface temperatures warm through
the day. Even so, mid-level lapse rates will remain poor, which
should temper updraft strength to some extent. Regardless, given the
marginal deep-layer shear and sufficient instability forecast,
isolated strong to damaging winds appear possible with any storms
that form either along an eastward-advancing surface trough or the
warm front. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out, primarily near
the warm front Sunday afternoon/evening, where low-level flow is
forecast to be slightly stronger compared to locations farther
south.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Monday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A negatively tilted upper trough is forecast to extend from central Saskatchewan southeastward into the lower MO Valley early Monday,
before continuing northeastward throughout the day. Relatively
low-amplitude upper flow is anticipated in the wake of this trough,
with moderate to strong north-northwesterly flow extending from the
Pacific Northwest into the Upper Great Lakes by early Tuesday
morning.
At the surface, a cold front associated with the negatively tilted
upper trough will likely stretch from far northwest WI southward
into west-central IL and then back southwestward through the TX Hill
Country early Monday. Gradual eastward/southeastward progression of
this front is anticipated throughout the day, with the front
forecast to extend from western Lake Erie to the middle Rio Grande
Valley by 00Z Tuesday. Predominantly stable conditions are expected
ahead of the front, precluding thunderstorm development. The only
exception is over portions of the Upper Midwest through the Upper
Great Lakes, where cooler mid-level temperatures and strong forcing
for ascent may result in a few storms deep enough to produce
lightning. A few convectively augmented gusts strong enough to
produce damage may occur along the front, but, given the meager
instability, uncertainty on occurrence and coverage remains high.
Isolated thunderstorms are also possible ahead of the remnants of
Delta and amid early period surface cyclogenesis (associated with
the previously mentioned, negatively tilted upper trough) over NC.
Weak wind fields and modest instability should preclude any severe
risk. A few strikes are also possible amid the moist air mass across
southern FL.

A shortwave trough will move northeastward across parts of New
England on Tuesday. A surface low is also forecast to develop
northeastward off the coast. Low-level warm advection is forecast to
occur through the day ahead of the features. Weak but sufficient
MUCAPE should be present to support elevated thunderstorms, mainly
along/near the coast. Instability should remain too weak to support
an organized severe risk across this region.
Farther west, a westerly mid/upper-level jet will advance eastward
over parts of the Pacific Northwest through the period. Cool
mid-level temperatures and ascent associated with this jet may
support meager instability and perhaps isolated, low-topped storms
capable of producing occasional lightning. Even though deep-layer
shear will be strong, severe storms are not expected owing to the
very marginal instability. Otherwise, thunderstorms are not forecast
across the remainder of the CONUS, as dry and/or stable conditions
should generally prevail.

A substantial positive-tilt upper trough will move across the

low pressure will deepen slightly as it moves from North Dakota
toward lake Superior during the day. A cold front will trail
southwestward from the low into the central Plains, while a dryline
develops over western Texas and southwest Oklahoma.
Given high pressure in place over the eastern states, moisture
return ahead of this system will be meager, with little instability
forecast to support thunderstorms. Dewpoints near 60 F may
eventually reach I-35 in Oklahoma, with a narrow band of 50s F ahead
of the cold front from Kansas into Missouri. However, forecast
soundings indicate capping will exist along the dryline, and most of
the cold front. In addition, midlevel lapse rates will be poor south
of the mid/upper jet.

Minimal thunderstorm activity is forecast across the contiguous
United States on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A large area of cyclonic flow aloft will encompass much of the
northern Plains, upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, with a
tight midlevel temperature gradient extending from the northern
Rockies to the mid Mississippi Valley into the northeastern states.
At the surface, low pressure will eject northeastward from eastern
Ontario into western Quebec coincident with a negative-tilt lead
wave, with a cold front roughly from western New York to central
Texas during the afternoon.
Modest levels of low-level moisture will exist ahead of the cold
front from Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley during the day,
with poor lapse rates aloft and little shear. Lift along the cold
front may support isolated, weak thunderstorms across this region,
if the cap can be breached.
Other diurnally driven showers and a few thunderstorms are possible
from southeast Montana into western South Dakota north of the
midlevel jet where lapse rates will be steep and where heating will
occur.
The best instability profiles will be over south Florida, where
heating will combine with increasing moisture out of the southeast
for a few daytime storms. Severe storms are unlikely.
Elsewhere, although a front will push east across Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York late in the day, forecast soundings indicate only
shallow convection with little if any lightning potential, likely
rendering the strong deep-layer shear ineffective.

Broad cyclonic flow aloft will remain in place over the northern

a weak upper disturbance will linger over the Florida vicinity.
At the surface, a quasi-stationary baroclinic zone will remain
generally in place from the southern Plains to the Lower Great Lakes
region, though its position will oscillate some during the period as
the aforementioned upper short-wave trough advances.
In the vicinity of this front, a zone of showers and a occasional,
embedded thunderstorms will persist through the period. Otherwise,
showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected from Florida
northeastward to the eastern Carolinas. However, the environment in
both of these convective regimes will remain largely insufficient to
support more vigorous convection.

Isolated weak/disorganized thunderstorms are forecast during the day
on Sunday across parts of FL and parts of the southern Appalachians.
The risk for showers and a few post-frontal/elevated thunderstorms

the TX Hill Country. Weak elevated instability is forecast north of
the surface front where the risk for isolated thunderstorms will
extend from the Edwards Plateau of TX, north and northeastward into
the Ozark Plateau. Isolated to widely scattered diurnal
thunderstorms are possible across the FL Peninsula.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the contiguous United
States on Tuesday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A closed upper low over AZ/NM and adjacent northern Mexico is
forecast to move slowly eastward towards the southern High Plains on
Tuesday. Large-scale ascent preceding this feature will overspread
parts of the southern Plains through the period. Even though much of
this region will be to the north of a cold front, weak elevated
instability may still develop as mid-level temperatures gradually
decrease with the approach of the upper trough. Isolated
thunderstorms may occur in this regime. Farther south, substantial
low-level moisture will remain confined to parts of coastal TX and
the Southeast. Occasional storms may also occur across these regions
though the day, but generally weak low/mid-winds should limit both
deep-layer shear and organized severe thunderstorm potential. The
enhanced low-level wind field associated with Tropical Cyclone Zeta,
forecast by the National Hurricane Center to move northwestward to
northward across the central Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, is not
expected to overspread portions of the central Gulf Coast until
after the end of the Day 2 period.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few tornadoes are expected from late in the day Wednesday through
Thursday morning over parts of the central Gulf Coast states in
association with Zeta.
...Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle...
Zeta is forecast to make landfall late in the day on Wednesday over
southeast Louisiana, and will weaken as it moves toward northwest
Georgia by Thursday morning.
Preceding landfall, southeasterly low-level winds will maintain 70s
F dewpoints across southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the
Florida Panhandle. MUCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg will develop, and
isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out during the day over
southern Mississippi and southeast Louisiana. Shear at this time
will be marginal for any severe threat, but weak rotation will be
possible with any cells.
A rapid increase in low-level shear resulting in large, looping
hodographs will occur after 00Z along and east of the center track.
SBCAPE may only be a few hundred J/kg near the center due to warming
aloft, but strong lift and very strong shear immediately east of the
center track may lead to rotating storms and a couple tornadoes.
Between 06-12Z Thursday morning, continued low-level theta-e
advection, convergence extending southward into the northern Gulf
and favorable shear may support a line of supercells from southern
Alabama into the Florida Panhandle where 0-1 SRH is expected to
exceed 400 m2/s2. This will support a tornado threat as well, before
winds rapidly veer with the passage of Zeta to the north.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE SOUTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe gusts and a conditional risk for a tornado may exist
Thursday from the Florida Panhandle into North Carolina and southern
Virginia in association with tropical cyclone Zeta.
...Southeast and Mid Atlantic...
The surface low associated with Zeta is expected to be over far
eastern TN Thursday morning, and will move rapidly east toward the
Delmarva by 00Z. Warm advection and strengthening shear will occur
over the Carolinas during the day, where dewpoints 68-70 F dewpoints
will contribute to a few hundred J/kg MUCAPE. Areas just south and
east of the low track, along the southern periphery of the heavier precipitation appears to have the greatest chance of an isolated
tornado or damaging wind gust during the day.
Southwest of this low, heating will occur over SC and GA, but
low-level winds will veer, reducing shear. Still, strong deep-layer
shear and mean wind speeds will conditionally favor strong to severe
gusts, though poor lapse rates aloft may mitigate more widespread
potential.
A somewhat better chance of isolated severe storms may exist
Thursday night as large-scale ascent with a shortwave trough
increases. The primary risk area for this time frame will be eastern
NC, where low-level moisture may remain ahead of a secondary surface
low. This threat is expected after 06Z, and isolated strong gusts or
a tornado will be possible.

Only a few weak thunderstorms are possible over southern Florida on
Friday.
...Synopsis...
As a large upper trough lifts across the Great Lakes and Northeast,
high pressure will encompass the eastern CONUS with offshore flow
over the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic. This will shunt any
appreciable low-level moisture mostly offshore, the exception being
far southern Florida where 70s F dewpoints will remain. Here,
daytime heating and weak convergence may lead to an isolated
thunderstorm or two during the afternoon.
Elsewhere, a shortwave trough will drop east/southeast across the
Pacific Northwest and into the northern High Plains by Saturday
morning resulting in lift, but little if any instability will be
present for lightning.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
NORTH CAROLINA INTO FAR SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over eastern North
Carolina and far southeast Virginia on Sunday.
...NC northward to southeast coastal NJ...
An intense and amplifying mid-level trough will evolve into a closed
500 mb low as it moves from the Great Lakes on Sunday morning to the
Northeast by early Monday morning. In the low levels, a surface low
initially over northeast Ontario will consolidate with a surface low
developing off the NJ coast and a strong surface cyclone is forecast
over the Gulf of Maine/coastal Maine late Sunday night.
During the morning to midday hours, the strengthening surface trough
over the Mid-Atlantic states will aid in intensifying low-level flow
and the northward transport of mid-upper 50s F dewpoints into the
Delmarva and lower 60s in eastern NC. Strong differential advection
via cooling aloft in the mid levels and moistening in the low
levels, will result in a destabilizing boundary layer by early
afternoon. Operational suite of models are generally showing the
development of 500 J/kg SBCAPE over eastern NC with 100-200 J/kg
MUCAPE as far north as the southern half of NJ. Forecast soundings
show very strong low-level shear and enlarged hodographs over the
narrow warm sector near the immediate coast. Strong mid-level
height falls (90-150 m per 12 hr) are expected to overspread the
VA/NC warm sector during the day. Given the above mentioned
factors, it seems plausible a forced convective line will evolve
over the Mid-Atlantic states. The risk for isolated strong to
severe gusts may accompany this convective line before moving off
the coast by early evening. Farther south over eastern NC, a
supercell threat could evolve near the immediate coast with an
attendant isolated wind/tornado hazard.
Elsewhere, dry/stable conditions will generally prevail across much
of the remainder of the contiguous United States.

Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
States on Monday.
...Discussion...
A slowly progressive upper flow pattern is forecast over the U.S.
Monday, as an eastern U.S. trough moves into the western Atlantic
and Canadian Maritimes, while ridging persists over much of the
western and into the central portion of the country. With time, the
western ridge is expected to deamplify however, as a weak upper low
moves across California and into Nevada, and a short-wave trough
embedded in the northern stream approaches the Pacific Northwest
later in the period.
With surface high pressure -- and associated dry/stable air --
prevailing over much of the country in the wake of strong eastern
U.S. cold-frontal passage, little risk for thunderstorms is evident.
One exception will be over a portion over the Desert
Southwest/lower Colorado River Valley area. Here, relatively steep
lapse rates aloft combined with weak large-scale ascent associated
with the aforementioned upper low may result in a few lightning
flashes emanating from high-based updrafts -- particularly during
the afternoon hours. Elsewhere, thunderstorms are not expected
across the remainder of the country.

Large-scale upper flow over the U.S. is forecast to trend more zonal
with time Tuesday, as the large eastern U.S. trough gradually
departs, leaving lower-amplitude westerly flow in its wake. A weak
upper low over the California vicinity early Tuesday is forecast to
advance eastward across the Great Basin/Four Corners states while
short-wave troughing embedded in fast westerly flow shifts across
the northwestern states. At the surface, aside from lee troughing
over the Plains, high pressure will largely prevail.
Given the dry/stable airmass covering most of the country, little
thunder potential is evident. A few lightning flashes will be
possible, embedded within low-topped convective precipitation,
across the Four Corners states, as the aforementioned upper low --
and associated cold air aloft/steep lapse rates -- spread across
this region. Elsewhere, aside from a possible stray flash over the
coastal Pacific Northwest as short-wave upper troughing shifts
inland, thunderstorms are not expected.

A high-amplitude, slowly progressive upper flow field is progged

At the surface, high pressure will prevail over the southern and
eastern states. In the West, a cold frontal advance across
California and Nevada is expected with time, while a baroclinic zone
shifts slowly southward across the Intermountain region and northern
Plains.
As the upper low advances southeastward near the West Coast, cool
air aloft/steep mid-level lapse rates may promote occasional
lightning flashes near coastal regions of northern and central
California. Occasional lighting may also occur from the central
Gulf Coast region to the southern Atlantic Coast within
westward-moving convection through the period.

No severe thunderstorms are expected across the continental United

A highly amplified flow field aloft will persist over the U.S. this
weekend. An upper low -- initially situated over the CA/NV vicinity
Saturday morning, is forecast to evolve into an open wave while
moving eastward across the Great Basin/Four Corners states through
the period. Meanwhile, a new closed low -- still within the
broader/highly amplified cyclonic flow field -- is forecast to
evolve over the OR/NV vicinity as short-wave troughing digs
southward out of western Canada.
While cyclonic flow expands to cover the western half of the
country, ridging will persist in the east. Within the broader ridge
however, a weak low centered over the north-central Gulf/southern
Louisiana area will linger, while farther to the southeast, tropical
system Eta is expected to shift northward into Cuba early Sunday
morning.
Showers and local/embedded thunderstorms are forecast to evolve
across portion of the Intermountain West Saturday afternoon, and
continuing through the period, as a strong cold front -- associated
with the upper troughing -- advances eastward. Very strong flow
aloft will support strong/gusty gradient winds, especially at higher elevations. While a forced/broken frontal band of convection may
evolve across portions of the Four Corners states during the
afternoon and evening, it remains unclear that any severe-level
convectively enhanced gusts will occur due to meager instability.
As such, no convective wind probabilities will be included in the
outlook at this time.
Scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms are also expected
across portions of the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions.
However, weak instability should preclude any appreciable severe
weather risk.

...SUMMARY...
A marginal tornado threat is expected to develop Sunday night across
south Florida as Tropical Storm Eta approaches.
...South Florida...
The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Tropical Depression Eta
to become a tropical storm and move northward across Cuba on Sunday.
The outer rainbands of Eta are forecast to move northward into
southern Florida near Miami by Sunday evening. As the center of Eta
approaches south Florida Sunday night, low-level winds will steadily
increase. NAM forecast soundings from 06Z to 12Z on Monday for Miami
show winds near 50 kt at 1000 feet above ground level. As a result,
0-1 km shear is forecast to increase to near 40 kt late Sunday night
which should support a marginal tornado risk. Cells that remain
semi-discrete and move inland into the Florida Keys will have
potential to rotate and could be associated with an isolated tornado
threat. For these reasons, a marginal risk area has been added in
parts of south Florida for this outlook.

uncertain particularly with north-northwestward extent, favorable supercell-favorable low-level shear/SRH is forecast to coincide with moist/modestly unstable air particularly across the Florida
Straits/Upper Keys into the south/southeast Florida Peninsula by
Sunday night. The potential for rotating cells is expected to

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN OZARKS AND IN VICINITY OF THE
FLORIDA KEYS...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with hail and strong wind gusts will be
possible on Monday from parts of the southern Plains into the mid
Missouri Valley. A marginal tornado threat will be possible early in
the period across south Florida and the Florida Keys.
...Southern Plains/Western Ozarks...
An upper-level trough will dig southeastward into the Four Corners
region on Monday as southwest mid-level flow remains established
across the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a
cold front will advance quickly southeastward into the mid Missouri
Valley and central Plains on Monday. Ahead of the front, moisture
advection will take place as surface dewpoints gradually increase
into the upper 50s and lower 60s F from west-central Oklahoma
northeastward into north-central Missouri. In spite of the moisture, instability will remain weak ahead of the front due to abundant
cloud cover and cool surface temperatures. For this reason,
convective initiation is expected to hold off until evening when a
band of strong large-scale ascent approaches from the west.
Thunderstorm development is expected to take place during the mid to
late evening from northwest Missouri southwestward into central and
western Oklahoma. NAM forecast soundings from 06Z to 09Z Tuesday
from Wichita, KS to Clinton, OK have MUCAPE reaching the 500 to 800
J/kg range with 60 to 70 kt of deep-layer shear. This combined with
steep mid-level lapse rates may be enough for marginal hail threat.
A few strong wind gusts can not be ruled out as well. Thunderstorms
are expected to develop along and just ahead of the front, moving
eastward into eastern Oklahoma and western Missouri during the late
night period.
...South Florida and the Florida Keys...
The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Tropical Storm Eta to
be located over the Florida Keys at daybreak on Monday and then to
move westward into the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the day.
Rainbands associated with Eta should be located across south Florida
Monday morning. Model forecast suggest that a band of strong
low-level winds will exist across the Florida Keys around 12Z on
Monday. Forecast soundings at that time at Key Biscayne have 0-1 km
shear from 30 to 35 kt with MUCAPE near 1200 J/kg. This should be
adequate for a tornado threat mainly from 12Z to 18Z, before
low-level shear begins to weaken across south Florida. Rotating
cells that remain semi-discrete will have tornado potential, but the
threat is expected to remain very isolated.

on Monday. A few thunderstorms capable of hail and strong wind gusts
will be possible across the south-central Plains Monday evening into
the overnight.
...South Florida and the Florida Keys...
Current Tropical Storm Eta is expected to further intensify as it
approaches the Florida Keys late tonight and early Monday. Reference
the National Hurricane Center for the latest forecast details.
Eta-periphery low-level winds will likely be maximized across the
Florida Keys and South Florida early Monday. Some questions remain
regarding the exact degree of destabilization particularly away from
the coast and with northward extent across the Florida Peninsula,
with the greatest overlap of low-level shear/SRH and buoyancy
expected across the Florida Keys and far southern Florida Peninsula.
Some potential for a couple of tornadoes will exist particularly in
these areas during the morning and possibly into the afternoon,
before likely diminishing by Monday night.
...South-Central Plains/Lower Missouri Valley...
An upper-level trough will amplify and carve southeastward over the
northern Plains and from the Four Corners area toward the
central/southern Plains Monday and Monday night. An associated cold
front will advance east/southeastward across the Upper Midwest and a
broad portion of the central/southern Plains. A modest influx of
low-level moisture will occur in advance of the front. It appears
that steepening mid-level lapse rates and sufficient low-level moisture/buoyancy may become sufficient for some stronger storms by
Monday evening, mainly across southern/eastern Kansas and northern
Oklahoma. Marginally severe hail and gusty thunderstorms winds will
be a possibility as storms increase across the region Monday evening
into the overnight.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE OZARKS AND MID TO UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with strong wind gusts and hail will be
possible on Tuesday across parts of the Ozarks and mid to upper
Mississippi Valley.
...Ozarks/Mid Mississippi Valley...
An upper-level trough will move quickly northeastward on Tuesday
from the Great Plains into the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. At
the surface, a cold front will advance east-southeastward across the
mid to upper Mississippi Valley. A line of thunderstorms is forecast
to be ongoing along the front from eastern Iowa south-southwestward
into western Missouri at the start of the period. As the upper-level
trough approaches from the southwest, strong large-scale ascent will
sustain the line during the day as it moves eastward across the mid
to upper Mississippi Valley. Ahead of this line, surface dewpoints
in the lower to mid 60s F will contribute to weak instability by
afternoon.
Model forecasts over the last couple of runs have substantially
increased forecast instability across the mid to upper Mississippi
Valley. Current model solutions suggest that SBCAPE could peak in
the 400 to 600 J/kg range in the afternoon from eastern Missouri
into north-central Illinois. This combined with strong deep-layer
shear of 60 to 70 kt, evident on forecast soundings, should support
a marginal severe threat along the leading edge of the line. Strong
wind gusts and hail will be possible with the more intense parts of
the line. The line of storms is forecast to reach eastern Illinois
and southern Lake Michigan by early evening.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Wednesday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A shortwave trough initially over the Great Lakes and Ontario is
forecast to quickly shift northeastward into Quebec on Wednesday. A
surface low attendant to the shortwave trough is also expected to
develop northeastward across Quebec, with a trailing cold front
making slow east-southeastward progress across the eastern CONUS
through the period. An unseasonably moist low-level airmass,
characterized by mid 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints, should be
present ahead of the front from parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the
Southeast. Even so, poor lapse rates and modest diurnal heating will
likely limit instability through Wednesday afternoon across these
regions. The stronger mid-level southwesterly flow associated with
the shortwave trough should also remain generally displaced to the
north of greater low-level moisture. This will limit deep-layer
shear across the warm sector, especially with southward extent
across the Southeast. Although very isolated instances of
strong/gusty winds cannot be entirely ruled out with storms that
develop along/ahead of the cold front, the overall severe threat
across the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast appears too low to include any
severe probabilities for wind at this time.
Farther south, Tropical Storm Eta should continue northward over the
eastern Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday according to the latest NHC
forecast. Some guidance suggests the low-level wind field with Eta
will expand on Wednesday, possibly encompassing parts of the FL Gulf
Coast. At this point, it appears that the potential for isolated
strong/gusty winds associated with low-topped storms embedded in
outer rain bands will probably remain offshore.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
SC THROUGH EASTERN NC...
...SUMMARY...
An isolated strong to severe storm is possible from northeast South
Carolina through eastern North Carolina Thursday afternoon.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A progressive, broadly cyclonic upper pattern is forecast over the
CONUS on Thursday. Eastward progression of a shortwave trough is
anticipated through the Plains and Upper/Mid MS Valley, with
eastward expansion of enhanced southwesterly flow aloft across the
much of eastern CONUS. This increased vertical shear will result in
a weakening of Tropical Cyclone Eta, which is forecast to begin the
period centered about 35 miles west-southwest of OCF along the
west-central FL coast. Strong low- to mid-level winds will be in
place Thursday morning throughout the eastern periphery of the
cyclone, before weakening during the day as the overall system
weakens. Despite kinematic profiles that would support rotating
storms, weak lapse rates associated with deep warm and moist air
mass surrounding the storm will hamper the development of strong,
persistent updrafts. Limited updraft depth and persistence should
keep the potential for any low-topped supercells very low.
Farther north into the Carolinas, numerous showers and thunderstorms
are anticipated as a slow-moving front interacts with low-level
moisture associated with Eta. The overall thermodynamic profile is
not expected to be as warm and moist as those closer to the cyclone, contributing to the potential for modest instability. Additionally, strengthening mid-level flow atop southerly (and perhaps even
southeasterly) low-level winds will result in enough low-level
vertical shear to support an organized storm or two. Storm mode is
generally expected to be linear but occasionally more discrete cells
ahead of the front could result in damaging wind gusts or two, or
maybe even a brief tornado.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected Friday or Friday night.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Progressive upper pattern is expected to gradually amplify on
Friday, as one shortwave trough moves quickly through the Northeast
and another pair of shortwave troughs move across the western CONUS. Northernmost of the two western CONUS shortwaves is forecast to move
through the Pacific Northwest and into the northern Great Basin,
while the southern shortwave moves through the Southwest into the
southern Plains.
At the surface, high pressure initially centered over the central
Plains and mid MS Valley is expected to shift quickly northeastward
as lee troughing develops over the High Plains ahead of the western
CONUS shortwaves. Given this early day position of the surface high
pressure, more favorable low-level moisture (i.e. low to mid 60s
dewpoints) will remain over central/southern TX and the FL Peninsula
for much of the day. However, the deepening lee trough and
associated tightening of the surface pressure gradient combined with
a strengthening low-level jet will help advect moisture northward
Friday evening and overnight. As a result, low 60s dewpoints may
reach as far as the TX/OK border by early Saturday morning. Some
isolated elevated thunderstorms (rooted around 850 to 800 mb) are
also possible within this warm-air advection regime. Limited
buoyancy is forecast to keep any severe potential very low.
Isolated lightning is also possible across coastal portions of the
Pacific Northwest as the frontal band attendant to the shortwave
trough progressing over the region moves through Friday afternoon. A
few post-frontal strikes are possible as well.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR NORTHEAST
OK ACROSS NORTHWEST AR INTO SOUTHERN MO...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur across eastern Oklahoma and
the Ozarks/Ark-La-Tex regions late Saturday afternoon and night.
...Synopsis...
A deep shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly across the
Plains and into the Upper/Middle MS Valley on Saturday. This
shortwave will be accompanied by a strong (i.e. 100 kt at 500 mb)
jet, which will likely extend from eastern KS through the middle MS
and southern OH Valleys, and into the Lower Great Lakes region early
Sunday morning.
Surface cyclogenesis is anticipated ahead of this shortwave and
attendant jet streak. The resulting low is forecast to develop over
the mid MO Valley before then tracking quickly northeastward through
the Upper Midwest. An associated cold front will sweep
eastward/southeastward. By 00Z Sunday, this front will likely extend
from the low over central IA southwestward through western MO and
eastern OK. By 12Z Sunday, consensus of the guidance places the
front from Lower MI south-southwestward into western TN and then
back southwestward across the Lower MS Valley into the TX Hill
Country.
...Eastern Oklahoma/Ozarks/ArkLaTex...
Modest low-level moisture advection will be underway across the
southern Plains at the beginning of the period. Southwesterly
low-level flow will persist throughout the day from the southern
Plains into the Mid MS Valley, contributing to continued moisture
advection and the potential low 60s dewpoints into the Ozark Plateau
ahead of the front. Current observations place the low 60s dewpoints
in central TX, under north winds and weak cold advection. Early day
showers and cloudiness are also expected from northeast OK into
southern MO. As a result, there is some uncertainty whether low 60s
dewpoints will actually be able to advect as far north as the models
suggest.
Whether or not this is enough low-level moisture to support severe thunderstorms will also depend on the amount of heating the area
receives. Current consensus within the guidance is for overcast
conditions to hamper daytime heating, keeping temperatures in the
low 60s (perhaps even upper 50s across northwest AR and southern
MO). Given the resulting convective inhibition associated with those
surface temperatures, updrafts would likely struggle to maintain
depth and consistency, limiting the overall severe potential.
In contrast to the marginal thermodynamics, kinematic fields are
very supportive of organized storm structures with notable low-level
curvature and long hodographs. Any updrafts that are able to
maintain depth and consistency would likely pose a risk for damaging
wind gusts and tornadoes. The overall scenario is conditional on destabilization but the strength of the wind fields merit upgrading
to a 5% tornado/15% wind Slight Risk.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The threat for thunderstorms is expected to remain low across the
Ohio Valley and southern New England Sunday into Sunday night,
though gusty winds will be possible with shallow convection.
...OH Valley to southern New England...
A midlevel shortwave trough will reach peak amplitude and will move
quickly eastward over the OH Valley Sunday and New England Sunday
night. A deep, associated surface cyclone over the upper Great
Lakes at the beginning of the period will develop northeastward
across parts of ON/QC, while a trailing cold front moves quickly
eastward. This front will focus shallow convection and some low-end
potential for lightning flashes.
Low-level moisture return into the OH Valley will be substantially
more limited compared to areas farther southwest on Saturday.
Boundary-layer dewpoints should be confined to the mid-upper 40s by
midday across the upper OH Valley, immediately in advance of the
front. Shallow buoyancy is expected along the cold front as
low-level lapse rates steepen with modest surface heating and
cooling above the surface. The depth of the buoyancy will be
questionable for charge separation and lightning production with
bands of shallow convection focused in the zone of ascent along the
front during the day across OH/PA/NY. A corridor of low-level
moistening from the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England should
help maintain weak buoyancy rooted near or just above the ground
into early Sunday night across southern New England. Though the
potential for lightning will remain limited, there is a small chance
of strong/damaging gusts driven by the shallow convection given
SBCAPE of 100-200 J/kg and 50-60 kt flow in the lowest 2 km above
ground level. Thus, will maintain a general thunderstorm area and
will continue to re-evaluate the potential for strong convective
gusts with shallow convection in later updates.
...Elsewhere...
Pre-frontal destabilization will be sufficient for isolated
thunderstorms along a cold front during the afternoon across deep
South TX. Rain showers will be possible across central FL, though
any convection here will be limited by a pronounced midlevel
inversion.

...SUMMARY...
The threat for thunderstorms is expected to remain fairly low across
parts of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and southern New England
Sunday into Sunday night, though strong/gusty winds may still occur
with shallow convection.
...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England...
A shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward across the OH
Valley, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and New England on Sunday. A deep
surface low associated with this shortwave trough should develop
northeastward into Ontario/Quebec through the period. A trailing
cold front will sweep quickly eastward across parts of the OH
Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and New England through Sunday evening.
Limited low-level moisture return should occur ahead of the front,
with low 50s surface dewpoints possibly extending into parts of
southern NY/New England by late Sunday afternoon. Poor mid-level
lapse rates and modest diurnal heating owing to widespread
cloudiness are generally expected to limit instability through the
day. Consensus of latest guidance suggests that no more than 100-200
J/kg of surface-based instability may develop ahead of the front by
peak afternoon heating, mainly from parts of eastern PA into NJ, MD,
northern VA, and the Delmarva Peninsula. With that said, the low to
mid-level flow field is expected to be quite strong, with 50-60+ kt
of south-southwesterly winds present only 1-2 km above the surface.
Latest convection-allowing model guidance is in general agreement
that a shallow convective line will develop along the front and
quickly advance eastward across portions of the Mid-Atlantic and
perhaps southern New England through early Sunday evening. It is
possible that strong/gusty winds may reach the surface across these
regions through convective downdraft processes, even through the
convection may remain too shallow to support lightning flashes. Low probabilities for severe/damaging wind gusts may need to be
introduced in a later outlook if confidence increases in sufficient
instability being realized.

...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms are possible to the west of the Washington and
Oregon Cascades Tuesday afternoon and evening. Otherwise, the risk
for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the U.S.
...Synopsis...
Much of the U.S. will remain under the influence of an amplified
branch of westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific through
this period. While lead large-scale mid/upper troughing continues
to gradually shift east of the Atlantic Seaboard, large-scale
ridging appears likely to prevail and expand eastward across the
remainder of the interior U.S., ahead of large-scale troughing
across the eastern Pacific into the Pacific Coast states.
One short wave perturbation emanating from the western troughing may
progress toward the crest of the downstream ridging and contribute
to significant cyclogenesis to the lee of the Canadian Rockies late
Tuesday through Tuesday night. Deepening surface troughing appears
likely as far south as the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle region.
However, the southwestern flank of cold surface ridging shifting
across and east of the lower Great Plains and Mississippi Valley
will remain prominent across the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and
Gulf Coast region. The will preclude substantive Gulf
boundary-layer recovery and southerly inland return flow in the wake
of the recent cold intrusion.
...South Florida...
The boundary layer may remain seasonably moist across southeastern
portions of the peninsula and Florida Keys through much of the day
Tuesday, possibly contributing to weak to moderate CAPE with daytime
heating. However, a remnant mid-level cyclonic shear axis
progressing across the region may be in the process of weakening.
Coupled with inhibition associated with relatively warm mid-level
temperatures, probabilities for thunderstorms appear generally low
and mostly confined to areas offshore of southeastern coastal areas/
southeast of the Keys.
...Pacific Northwest...
The extent to which thermodynamic profiles will become conducive to
charge separation remain unclear, with the mid-level cold core of
the larger-scale troughing remaining mostly offshore through this
period. However, models do indicate a swath of mid-level cooling
(including 500 mb temps of -24 to -26 C) across coastal areas into
the southern Washington/northern Oregon Cascades late Tuesday
afternoon and evening, coincident with a belt of modest
southwesterly onshore/upslope low-level flow. This seems to offer
the best potential for scattered thunderstorm activity, and could
become focused around the Greater Portland OR area.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday or Wednesday
night.
...Synopsis...
A progressive, but relatively low amplitude upper pattern is
anticipated across the CONUS on Wednesday. A shortwave trough is
forecast to begin the period just off the Northeast coast, before
quickly progressing northeastward. In the wake of this shortwave,
modest upper ridging is expected to move from the northern/central
Plains through the Upper MS Valley and Upper Great Lakes. Farther
west, a series of shortwave troughs will move across the Pacific
Northwest and northern Intermountain West. The lead wave in this
series will likely move through the northern Plains early Thursday
morning as the most substantial wave in the series moves into the
coastal Pacific Northwest.
At the surface, expansive high pressure over much of the eastern
CONUS early Wednesday is forecast to gradually shift eastward as
troughing associated with lead Pacific Northwest shortwave deepens
and shifts eastward across the northern/central Plains into the
Upper Midwest.
Short wavelength between shortwave troughs will limit the duration
of southerly return flow, keeping areas across the central and
eastern CONUS too stable for thunderstorms. Cold mid-level
temperatures atop moist onshore flow will result in modest
instability along the Pacific Northwest coast, supporting the
potential for isolated lightning flashes, particularly early
Wednesday morning and late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning as
shortwave troughs move through the area. Given the cold mid-level
temperatures, small, sub-severe hail is possible with some of the
stronger, more persistent cells. Very isolated (i.e. less than 10%
coverage) lightning flashes may also occur across eastern OR/WA into
ID late Wednesday afternoon/evening as the initial shortwave trough
moves through.

...SUMMARY...
Aside from portions of the Pacific Northwest coast vicinity, the
risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the U.S.
Thursday through Thursday night.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that the westerlies will trend less amplified across
the Pacific coast through the Atlantic Seaboard during this period.
Persistent large-scale mid-level troughing near the British
Columbia/Pacific Northwest coast is forecast to break down, with
perhaps the most significant remnant perturbation accelerating east
of the northern Rockies through northwestern Ontario and the upper
Great Lakes region by 12Z Friday. Downstream large-scale troughing
appears likely to gradually recede to higher latitudes while
continuing to shift away from the Atlantic coast.
In lower levels, however, the southwestern flank of cold surface
ridging has maintained a considerable influence across much of the
Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast/Southeast vicinity. Models suggest
that boundary-layer recovery over the Gulf of Mexico, and the
development of a southerly inland return flow, will continue to be
hampered by lingering surface ridging through this period.
Particularly east of the Rockies, this will continue to contribute
to generally dry and/or stable conditions with negligible risk for thunderstorms.
...Pacific Northwest...
Models continue to indicate that mid-level height rises will be
underway, and the mid-level thermal trough axis (-32 to -34 C at 500
mb) may be in the process of shifting east of the Cascades by 12Z
Thursday. However, guidance indicates that the western edge of the
cold core (AOB -30C at 500 mb) will linger west of the Cascades into
at least Thursday afternoon, while deep-layer flow also remains at
least broadly cyclonic. Perhaps aided by large-scale ascent
associated with a weak embedded, inland migrating perturbation,
modest westerly low-level onshore/upslope flow, and destabilization
associated with insolation, a few weak thunderstorms appear possible
to the west of the Cascades Thursday.

...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms currently appears negligible across much
of the U.S. Friday through Friday night.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that the westerlies will remain split, roughly along
120-140W longitude, with broadly confluent downstream flow centered
across the northern tier of the U.S. and adjacent southern Canada.
As one of the more significant perturbations embedded within this
regime continues accelerating eastward, from northwest Ontario and
the upper Great Lakes region through the Canadian Maritimes by 12Z
Saturday, the center of broad cold surface ridging is forecast to
build southeastward across/east of the middle Missouri Valley. This
will tend to contribute to the reinforcement of generally dry and
stable conditions in the wake of a prior cold intrusion; however, it
will be preceded by at least some further boundary-layer recovery
and inland return flow around the southern/western periphery of
remnant surface ridging centered over the Southeast.
...Florida...
Models indicate increasing potential instability within moistening
easterly low-level flow across the southwestern Atlantic/Bahamas
vicinity into the Florida Peninsula. This could contribute to
potential for deepening convective development and scattered showers
Friday into Friday night, particularly along the Atlantic coastal
areas. However, it appears that relatively warm mid-levels and
generally weak forcing for ascent will preclude intensification of
convection into thunderstorms.
...Ozark Plateau vicinity...
Models indicate that weak to modest low-level moistening on
southerly return flow will contribute to weak CAPE above the leading
edge of the southward advancing reinforcing cold intrusion. It
appears that this may become focused along the Interstate 44
corridor of southwestern through south central Missouri, where
mid-level cooling may also weaken inhibition sufficiently to allow
for deepening convective development by 12Z Saturday. While
forecast soundings appear to suggest some risk for lightning with
this activity, the extent of this potential remains unclear, and
thunderstorm probabilities are being maintained at less than 10
percent for now.

Models also indicate weak destabilization will occur across the Four
Corners region Friday night, in response to low-level moisture
return and cooling aloft associated with a low-amplitude wave
emerging from the subtropical eastern Pacific. While at least some
output suggests that this could be accompanied by convection capable
of producing lightning, it remains unclear whether the risk reaches
the minimum 10 percent probability for a categorical thunderstorm
delineation.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Saturday through Saturday night.
...Synopsis...
Models suggest that the most prominent branch of westerlies
emanating from the Pacific may undergo amplification during this
period. It appears that this will include a building mid-level
ridge across the Canadian Rockies and northern U.S. intermountain region/Rockies, and a digging short wave trough across the northern
Great Plains and middle Missouri Valley.
The short wave trough may support weak frontal wave development
along the leading edge of a reinforcing cold intrusion across the
Ozark Plateau/lower Missouri Valley vicinity, where southerly return
flow in the wake of a prior cold intrusion has allowed for weak to
modest low-level moistening. However, substantive further Gulf
moisture return appears unlikely, with only a very gradual continued boundary-layer moistening within easterly low-level flow to the
south of remnant surface ridging across the Gulf Coast region.
...Four Corners region through the Ozarks vicinity...
Ahead of the digging short wave trough, at least a couple of short
wave perturbations are forecast to traverse the region within a belt
of westerlies emanating from the southern mid-latitude/subtropical
eastern Pacific. Associated forcing for ascent probably will
contribute to areas of convective development. However, based on
model forecast soundings, the extent to which this activity may
become capable of producing lightning remains unclear.
Low-level moisture return and warm advection are expected to remain
focused across parts of the Ozark Plateau into the lower Missouri
Valley, where relatively warm temperatures aloft/weak lapse rates
may inhibit weak thunderstorm development until perhaps late
Saturday evening/Saturday night.
Upstream, very weak CAPE rooted at higher levels, aided by somewhat
steeper mid-level lapse rates, mainly near/above the 700 mb level
could become supportive of weak thunderstorm activity near the
Oklahoma/Kansas border vicinity into southeastern Colorado.
Otherwise, orographic forcing might contribute to an isolated weak
thunderstorm or two across the mountains of southwestern Colorado
late Saturday afternoon.
...Florida...
Within gradually moistening easterly low-level flow, models suggest
that areas of scattered showers may overspread the peninsula
Saturday through Saturday night. As a mid-level high center shifts
east of the south Atlantic Seaboard, weak cooling aloft may allow
for increasing probabilities for thunderstorms by Saturday night,
mainly near southeast coastal areas.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Sunday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
An upper trough initially over the Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday
morning will progress eastward across the MS/OH Valleys to the
eastern states by the end of the period. At the surface, a weak low
over the mid MS Valley should develop northeastward across the OH
Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast by late Sunday night
while slowly deepening. A cold front attendant to this surface low
is forecast to sweep east-southeastward across much of the southern
Plains, lower MS Valley/Southeast, and eastern states through early
Monday morning.
Limited low-level moisture, characterized by 50s surface dewpoints,
should be present in a narrow corridor ahead of the front across
parts of TX to the Mid-South. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may
be ongoing at the start of the period over these areas along/behind
the front, although instability should remain rather weak owing to
poor mid-level lapse rates. Thunderstorm potential should quickly
diminish by Sunday afternoon as the forcing associated with the
upper trough departs this region. Negligible instability forecast
across the OH Valley/Mid-Atlantic suggests thunderstorm potential
should remain very low as the upper trough moves over these areas.
Along much of the East Coast, surface ridging should generally
hinder the inland advance of substantial low-level moisture. One
exception may be eastern NC/SC late Sunday night into early Monday
morning. Here, upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints may be present
ahead of the eastward-advancing cold front. As modest mid-level
height falls associated with the approaching upper trough overspread
this region, at least isolated thunderstorms may develop. Although
deep-layer shear appears sufficient to support organized storms,
current expectations are for greater instability to remain confined
to immediate coastal areas, with any meaningful strong to severe
storm potential probably remaining offshore.
Elsewhere, isolated thunderstorms may occur Sunday across parts of
the FL Peninsula and the Keys as weak low-level easterly flow
continues, and the Four Corners vicinity into western CO as upper
troughing amplifies over the western CONUS late in the period.

Shortwave trough currently moving into the northern Rockies is
forecast to continue southeastward across the Plains today and

Upper MS Valley into central KS. This shortwave is expected to
remain progressive on Sunday, ending the period extending from the
Upper OH Valley southward into the western Carolinas.
Surface low associated with this system will be centered the near

quickly northeastward throughout the day while occluding. An
attendant cold front will extend southwestward from this low and is
forecast to progress through the southern Plains, mid/low MS Valley,
and OH/TN Valley throughout the period. Limited low-level moisture
will be in place ahead of the front early in the period from the
southern Plains into the Lower OH and TN Valley, with some isolated
lightning flashes possible along and behind the front within this

morning over the eastern Carolinas amid modest low-level moisture
advection ahead of the approaching front.
Elsewhere, isolated thunderstorms may occur Sunday across parts of

Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Monday.
...Synopsis...
Shortwave trough currently moving through Mid MS and OH Valleys is
expected to extend from the Lower Great Lakes into the
western/central Carolinas by early Monday morning. This system is
forecast to obtain an increasingly negative tilt as it continues
northeastward through the Northeast States. An attendant surface low
will start the period over the southern Saint Lawrence Valley, with
a cold front extending southeastward into southern New England and
then southward/southwestward off the East Coast.
A small portion of southern New England, including RI and eastern
MA/Cape Cod, may still be ahead of this front early Monday morning.
Mid-50s dewpoints are expected to be in place, contributing to the
potential for modest instability and a few, deeper convective cores
along the front. These deeper cores combined with moderate
low/mid-level flow could result in a few strong wind gusts. However,
spatial and temporal limit of the threat coupled with only marginal
potential precludes introducing any probabilities with this outlook.
Farther west, a deep shortwave trough is forecast to extend from
western British Columbia into central CA at the beginning of the
period. This shortwave is expected to deepen throughout the day
Monday, contributing to the development of a closed cyclone centered
over the Four Corners by early Tuesday morning. Downstream surface
cyclogenesis is anticipated over the central High Plains by Monday
evening, with the resulting surface low then moving eastward into
the central Plains. Limited moisture return ahead of this low will
keep the surface-based thunderstorm potential minimal. However, cold
mid-level temperatures and strong forcing for ascent attendant to
the mid/upper cyclone will likely contribute to isolated lightning
flashes within the deeper convective cores. A few flashes are also
possible in the stronger elevated storms within the warm sector.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
OKLAHOMA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible late afternoon Tuesday into
Tuesday night across portions of the southern/central Plains,
Ozarks, Mid-South, and lower Mississippi Valley. Large hail and
severe gusts are the primary hazards.
...Synopsis...
A potent mid-level shortwave trough --evident on water-vapor imagery
Monday morning over the southern Sierra Nevada-- will move from the
NM/AZ border on Tuesday morning, eastward to western MO by daybreak
Wednesday. An associated 90-kt 500 mb speed max will move through
the base of the trough and move into northwest TX/southern OK
Tuesday evening and into the Ozarks late. At the surface, a low
initially over the OK Panhandle will develop eastward into the lower
MO Valley as a cold front sweeps southward through much of OK and northwest/north-central TX Tuesday night.
...OK eastward into the Ozarks...
Strong southerly low-level flow during the day will advect 50s F
dewpoints northward into western/central OK as a warm front advances
northward into north-central OK by early evening. A dryline is
forecast to sweep eastward across the TX Panhandle/South Plains
during the afternoon. As strong large-scale ascent associated with
the disturbance overspreads the southern High Plains, isolated
thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the TX Panhandle into
western OK during the 3-6pm period. As the storms move/develop into
slightly richer low-level moisture near the OK border, the potential
for large hail will probably increase as mid-level cooling aids in destabilization (-18 to -21 C at 500 mb). Strengthening and veering
winds with height will favor storm organization, including the
possibility for a few low-topped supercells initially, before
upscale growth into a cluster or band of storms evolves during the
evening. Large hail will probably accompany the stronger cores
through early to mid evening before this threat lessens. Isolated
to widely scattered severe gusts (60-70 mph) are possible as this
activity moves east during the evening across OK. During the
overnight, a lingering risk for isolated damaging winds may continue
into the Ozarks and perhaps develop as far south as the Arklatex. A
separate area of thunderstorms is forecast to develop across
north-central TX overnight along the front. An isolated hail/wind
risk may accompany these storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE LOWER AND MIDDLE MS...LOWER OH AND TN VALLEYS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Wednesday across
parts of the lower/mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio/Tennessee
Valleys and Southeast. Locally damaging winds should be the main
threat, although a tornado or two also appears possible.
...Synopsis...
A mid/upper level shortwave trough centered over the Ozark Plateau
early Wednesday will lift northeast across the Midwest to the upper
OH Valley/central Appalachians by 12z Thursday. Surface low pressure
will move in tandem with the upper trough from MO toward the lower
Great Lakes while a trailing cold front pushes eastward across the
mid/lower MS valley and the lower OH/TN Valley. Ahead of the front,
southerly low level flow will continue to transport Gulf moisture
northward, with 60s F dewpoints reaching as far north a TN
potentially. Surface dewpoints in the 50s will be more common
farther north across the Ohio Valley vicinity. Surface heating will
be limited by cloudiness and showers ahead of the front, but cooling
aloft is expected to result in modest midlevel lapse rates.
Furthermore, strong shear profiles are forecast as winds veer with
height and 40-60 kt 850-700 mb southwesterly flow overspreads much
of the southern/central U.S. This should support at least isolated strong-to-severe thunderstorms capable of strong/locally damaging
wind gusts across the lower/mid MS Valley to the OH/TN Valley.
...Lower/Mid MS Valley to the OH/TN Valley Vicinity...
Higher-quality low level moisture will be confined to the lower MS
Valley into MS/AL on Wednesday. While stronger heating will be
limited by cloudiness and showers ahead of the cold front, modest
midlevel lapse rates atop rich boundary layer moisture should result
in at least weak surface-based instability (typically 750 J/kg or
less). Strong shear will reside over the region to aid in organized
convection. Deep layer flow will mainly be parallel to the front,
favoring line segments, but a couple of semi-discrete cells also are
possible. Strong forcing closer to the trough/surface low will be
shifting away from the region through the day, but the front and
weak buoyancy will be sufficient for strong-to-severe convection
into parts of MS/AL and middle TN through early evening. Storm mode
and quickly strengthening flow with height will mainly favor
damaging wind potential. However, where backed low level flow is
present, low level SRH will be enhanced and a tornado or two cannot
be entirely ruled out.
Farther north, instability will be even weaker given overall
poorer-quality boundary layer moisture and a cooler environment.
However, steeper midlevel lapse rates with colder air aloft should
result in weak elevated instability. Stronger forcing and favorable
shear profiles may compensate somewhat for meager instability, and
at least a narrow line of near-surface-based convection closer to
the surface low and cold front is expected during the
afternoon/evening across parts of the lower OH Valley. Strong low
level wind field associated with low/midlevel jet streak will favor
bowing segments capable of isolated strong/damaging gusts.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS...LOUISIANA...AND SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Friday across
parts of central/east Texas, Louisiana, and southwestern
Mississippi. Large hail and strong to damaging winds should be the
main threats.
...Texas into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
Mainly elevated thunderstorms will probably be ongoing to the north
of a warm front at the beginning of the period across parts of east
TX and LA. This activity will be supported by modest low-level warm
advection, which is forecast to weaken through Friday morning.
Still, given the forecast combination of MUCAPE around 500-1250 J/kg
and 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear, this convection may continue to
pose an isolated large hail threat across parts of LA and perhaps
southwestern MS through the morning hours before diminishing.
As a closed upper low slowly pivots across the Southwest and towards
the southern High Plains through the period, a belt of enhanced west-southwesterly mid-level winds will remain over much of
central/east TX into parts of the lower MS Valley. A generally southwest-northeast oriented surface boundary should be located over
these areas, with rich low-level moisture characterized by upper 60s
to perhaps low 70s surface dewpoints to its south. It appears that
this boundary will serve a focus for potentially robust convection
through the day, possibly beginning by early afternoon across
central TX as an upper jet overspreads this region. Up to 1000-1500
J/kg of MLCAPE may develop along/south the front. Coupled with
strong deep-layer shear, this should support some organized
convection. Isolated large hail and strong to locally damaging wind
gusts appear to be the main threats as storms move slowly
east-southeastward into coastal TX/LA in tandem with the surface
front through Friday evening.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY ACROSS
PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...
...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the northwestern Gulf
coastal plain Friday, and could pose at least some risk for severe
hail and strong wind gusts.
...Synopsis...
Stronger mid-latitude westerlies are forecast to remain confined to
the central/northern tier of the U.S. northward, but a strong
high-level jet emerging from the subtropical eastern Pacific appears
likely to remain influential across the Gulf Coast region and
Southeast through this period.
Within this regime, one mid-latitude wave, in phase with the
subtropical stream, is forecast to progress east of the New England
coast by 12Z Friday, followed by another perturbation digging into
and across the Great Lakes region by late Friday night. Another
upstream perturbation, currently splitting off of the belt of
mid-latitude westerlies across the Great Basin, may evolve into a
mid-level low over Arizona, before gradually accelerating eastward
in phase with the subtropical westerlies, into/across the southern
Rockies.
Although spread among the various model output remains largest
concerning the Southwestern perturbation, there is little suggestion
within the guidance that it will provide support for substantive
wave development along a frontal zone expected to slowly continue
advancing into the northwestern Gulf coastal plain. This frontal
motion is forecast in response to the progression of the preceding
mid-latitude short waves, which may also contribute to a
southeastward advancement of the front off the southern Atlantic
Seaboard, while the front becomes quasi-stationary across the
eastern Gulf Coast states vicinity.
A plume of seasonably moist air will linger along and just south of
this frontal zone, though generally weak mid/upper lapse rates are
expected to temper the potential instability.
...Southeast Texas into southern Louisiana/Mississippi...
Near/just south of the surface front, it does appear that CAPE
rooted within/just above the boundary-layer may reach 500-1000 J/kg
across the coastal plain. Deep-layer shear is also expected to
become strong, as the core of the high-level jet emerging from the
subtropics begins to overspread the region, with 30-50+ kt westerly
flow as low as the 700-500 mb layer. However, guidance generally
indicates that low-level wind fields and forcing for ascent will
remain modest to weak through this period.
Models do suggest that a coupling of speed maxima within the
mid/upper jet may contribute to a region of strong, focused
high-level divergence overspreading southeast Texas into the lower
Mississippi Valley during the day Friday. Perhaps aided by weak
mid-level warm advection, this is expected to contribute to
thunderstorm development which could eventually become rooted within
the modestly unstable boundary layer. If this occurs, stronger
cells may briefly become capable of producing marginally severe
hail. One or two small organizing clusters of storms might not be
out of the question, which could pose a risk for potentially
damaging wind gusts while propagating southeastward into Friday
evening.

A closed upper low initially over the southern High Plains should
move slowly eastward across TX/OK on Saturday. A weak surface low is
forecast to form over the western Gulf of Mexico ahead of this
feature, eventually reaching the coastal LA vicinity by early Sunday
morning. Large-scale lift ahead of the upper low and weak low-level
warm advection will likely support numerous to widespread showers
and thunderstorms across central/east TX Saturday morning, which
should limit instability. The majority of this convection is
expected to remain elevated, as a surface front should generally
move off the middle/upper TX Coast through the day. As the surface
low develops northeastward over the western Gulf of Mexico,
increasing low-level moisture will begin to approach the LA Coast
late Saturday night into early Sunday morning as a marine warm front
develops slowly northward. At this point, it appears that the
potential for surface-based thunderstorms will probably remain
offshore from the LA Coast through the end of the period.
Accordingly, severe probabilities have not been included.

Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible over the
middle/upper Texas Coast and far southwest Louisiana on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A mid- to upper-level low will meander eastward across OK during the
period as a belt of stronger 500-mb flow resides across the northern
half of TX into the lower MS Valley. In the low levels, a cold
front will push eastward across central TX early in the day and be
located over the TX shelf waters by late evening. Only weak surface
reflection is forecast over the southern Plains by model guidance.
The relatively weak low-level response will likely play a role in
terms of limiting the inland penetration of a weakly unstable warm
sector to the immediate TX coast. Forecast soundings show a moist
and nearly saturated boundary layer with relatively poor lapse
rates, despite a wind profile supporting a conditional risk for
storm organization. A few transient rotating cells may develop near
the upper TX coast during the day but widespread clouds and showers
will limit the overall severe potential. A risk for locally
damaging gusts may accompany the stronger storms. Further north, a
few weak elevated thunderstorms are possible across east TX during
the day with this activity shifting east into the lower MS Valley
late.

of MS/AL late Thursday night/early Friday morning. While it is
possible a storm or two could exhibit weak rotation in the

Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible portions of the Florida
Panhandle Friday and across the coastal Carolinas late Friday night.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level low/trough located over the Mid South Friday morning
will transition into an open wave and become negatively tilted
Friday evening over the southern Appalachians before moving east of
the VA/NC coast by early Saturday morning. Southerly low-level flow
will transport still-modifying air northward from the northern Gulf
of Mexico into the FL Panhandle. The lack of robust surface
cyclogenesis until after sunset Friday evening over the Carolinas
will likely preclude both the stronger advection processes and
appreciable destabilization inland of the immediate coastal areas of
the northeast Gulf of Mexico.
By Friday evening, the developing surface low over the western
Carolinas will undergo the initial stages of bombogenesis beginning
Friday night into Saturday. Only low-mid 50s dewpoints are forecast
across the Upstate of SC into western and central NC with 100-200
J/kg MUCAPE. However, intensifying deep-layer forcing for ascent
coupled with weak instability will probably lead to isolated
thunderstorms developing by early to mid evening. Although this
activity will likely remain elevated as it organizes into a few
small-scale convective bands near the low, a conditional risk for
damaging gusts cannot be ruled out.
By late evening, an appreciably destabilized airmass is expected
over the NC coastal plain into northeast SC ahead of the gradually
intensifying convection moving into the area from the west. Surface
dewpoints ranging from the upper 50s further inland to the lower 60s
near the immediate coast, will contribute to weak instability.
Strong deep-layer shear will support storm organization and an
isolated damaging wind/brief tornado risk may develop before the
activity pushes east of the coast during the late overnight hours.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected Saturday or Saturday night.
...Synopsis/Discussion...
An amplified large-scale pattern will persist over the CONUS with
split upper-level flow over the Plains and Midwest. Thunderstorm
potential along the Eastern Seaboard will have largely diminished
into Saturday in the wake of a cold frontal passage. Most of the
thunderstorm potential will be focused ahead of the cold front over
the western Atlantic, but a few near-shore thunderstorms could occur
in association with weak elevated buoyancy and cyclogenesis near the
New England coast.
Elsewhere, ahead of an eastward-moving southern-stream trough over
northeast Mexico and central/southern Texas, sufficient elevated
buoyancy may allow for a few thunderstorms near the Texas coast,
although the bulk of the deeper convection should remain decidedly
offshore. Finally, low-topped convection may accompany a shortwave
trough approaching the coastal Pacific Northwest Saturday afternoon
into Saturday night. However, forecast thermodynamic profiles do not
appear overly supportive of lightning flashes.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across southern Florida Sunday
night into early Monday morning.
...Synopsis...
Surface high pressure will bring mainly dry and stable conditions to
most of the CONUS on Sunday. The exception will be across southern
Florida late in the period, where isolated to scattered
thunderstorms are possible. An upper low over the southern Plains is
forecast to become an open wave as it merges with another trough
developing southeastward across the Midwest/Mid-South vicinity
during the evening, and continue eastward overnight. This will bring
increasing southwesterly deep layer flow across the Gulf of Mexico
and southeastern states.
At the surface, a weak low over the western Gulf will shift eastward
through the period and be located offshore the southwestern FL coast
by Monday morning. Boundary layer moisture will increase across
southern Florida overnight in conjunction with strengthening
effective shear. Isolated thunderstorms are expected across the
southern Peninsula after 06z, and more likely by around 09z. Weak
instability and poor lapse rates should limit severe potential,
though a strong wind gust or two can not be ruled out.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to locally severe storms may occur across southern
Florida Sunday night and early Monday morning.
...Synopsis...
A highly amplified/complex large-scale pattern will prevail on
Sunday over the CONUS. A general prevalence of cool/stable
conditions over the CONUS will confine deep convective potential to
the Gulf of Mexico into far southern Florida.
...Southern Florida...
Have introduced severe probabilities for late-night severe potential
Sunday night into the morning hours of Monday. Weak height falls
related to the amplifying upper trough over the Appalachians will
influence weak cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Mexico into southern
Florida, particularly Sunday night, as low-level moisture otherwise
gradually increases. Ongoing storms over the Gulf of Mexico late
Sunday may approach the Florida Keys and possibly the far southern
Florida Peninsula late Sunday night/early Monday, with the
possibility of some semi-discrete development also preceding any
complex of storms over the Gulf of Mexico. While modest overall
buoyancy and weak mid-level lapse rates should limit the overall
magnitude and likelihood of a severe risk, sufficient
moisture/instability in the presence of strengthening low/mid-level
winds will support the possibility of some strong to locally severe
storms capable of wind gusts and/or a tornado risk.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected across the far southern Florida
peninsula and Keys Monday morning.
...Southern FL and the Keys...
The base of an upper trough over the eastern U.S. will pivot
northeast on Monday, moving across the eastern Gulf Coast vicinity,
and eventually offshore from the Atlantic coast Monday night. A weak
surface low is forecast to be located near the FL Keys at the
beginning of the period, with a cold front extending across southern
FL. Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near the Keys
and far south/southeastern peninsula. A narrow corridor of mid/upper
60s F dewpoints and a couple hundred J/kg SBCAPE may overlap with
sufficient low level shear to foster a couple of strong storms.
However, forecast guidance varies, with faster solutions showing
strong storms south and east of the Keys and the southern Peninsula
by 12-13z while slower solutions bring a band of convection through
by 15-16z. Thunderstorm activity will quickly diminish toward midday
as the front pushes offshore. Uncertainty in short-duration severe
potential in the first 2-3 hours of the forecast period will
preclude Marginal risk probabilities at this time. However, if
confidence increases in a slower eastward progression of
thunderstorms, low-end wind and possibly tornado probabilities may
be necessary in later outlooks.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong thunderstorms may occur across southern Florida Monday
morning.
...Synopsis...
An amplified large-scale flow pattern will remain over North America
on Monday. A relatively deep trough will shift eastward over the
upper Ohio Valley and Appalachians on Monday, with a related cold
front continuing to progress southeastward across southern Florida.
Meanwhile, a closed low will move south-southwestward over southern
California toward off the coast of Baja. A prevalence of dry/stable
conditions CONUS-wise will spatiotemporally confine deep convective
potential to southern Florida Monday morning.
...Florida Keys and far southern Florida Peninsula...
A late-night severe risk tonight into early Monday may persist
beyond 12Z Monday and linger for an hour or two, prior to the front
moving offshore to the Florida Straits by mid/late morning. Current
thinking is that storms will be ongoing Monday morning across the
region, including the possibility of a few strong or locally severe
storms. This would be in association with a relatively moist (near
70F surface dewpoint) and modestly unstable air mass in the presence
of 35-40 kt effective shear. Any such severe risk should wane by
mid/late morning.

Upper troughing extending throughout the Intermountain West early

into the Lower CO River Valley. At the same time, a shortwave trough
entering the Pacific Northwest/southern British Columbia will move
eastward through Alberta and the northern Rockies.
At the surface, high pressure will promote dry low-level
trajectories and resulting dry and stable conditions. Showers are
anticipated as mid-level moisture increases across AZ late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. However, the lack of sufficient
instability should preclude thunderstorms.

Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
United States on Monday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A shortwave trough should move quickly northeastward from the
Southeast/TN Valley region across the Carolinas on Monday. A weak
surface low initially over northern GA/western SC should likewise
develop northeastward across the Carolinas Monday morning while
gradually deepening, before advancing offshore Monday afternoon. A
cold front attendant to this surface low will sweep eastward across
these regions through the day.
Some low-level moisture return should occur ahead of the surface low
and cold front across the central/eastern Carolinas and eastern GA
early in the period. However, forecast soundings across these areas
indicate that very poor low/mid-level lapse rates and modest diurnal
heating should hamper the development of meaningful boundary-layer
instability. Still, isolated lightning flashes may occur with any
convection occurring along/ahead of the cold front given the weak
elevated buoyancy that should be in place.
A rather strong (45-55 kt) southwesterly low-level jet is forecast
to develop over parts of eastern NC/SC by midday, and it is not
entirely out of the question that a strong wind gust or two could be
observed as low-topped storms move quickly east-northeastward into
areas with greater low-level moisture. Still, it appears that more
robust convective development will likely occur over the Gulf Stream
and offshore from the Outer Banks of NC Monday afternoon. Therefore,
no severe wind probabilities have been included at this time.

Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected across the

An upper trough will move eastward across the southern/central
Plains on Tuesday, eventually reaching the lower/mid MS Valley and
Southeast late Tuesday night. A prior surface frontal intrusion into
the Gulf of Mexico will likely limit thunderstorm potential across
the CONUS through much of the day, as substantial low-level moisture
should remain confined to parts of the FL Peninsula. A gradual
return of modest low-level moisture may occur late Tuesday
evening/night across parts of coastal LA/MS/AL. As strong forcing
for ascent associated with the upper trough overspreads this region,
there may be just enough MUCAPE (100-200 J/kg) to support isolated
lightning flashes with any elevated convection that develops
along/near the central Gulf Coast late Tuesday. Severe storms are
not anticipated across this region owing to the modest low-level
moisture and minimal boundary-layer instability forecast.

Weak instability may develop across parts of south FL Thursday ahead

forcing aloft and only modest low-level convergence along the front
suggest that thunderstorm potential should remain low. Otherwise,
thunderstorms are not expected across a large majority of the CONUS
owing to generally dry and/or stable conditions. One exception may
be across parts of central CA Thursday morning, where cool mid-level temperatures and ascent associated with a progressive shortwave
trough may support very weak instability and low thunderstorm
chances early in the period. Orographic lift along part of the
Sierras may also encourage isolated storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS COAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Saturday across
parts of the middle/upper Texas Coast.
...Middle/Upper Texas Coast...
A shortwave trough over the southern/central Plains Saturday morning
is forecast to move eastward to the lower/mid MS Valley by Saturday
evening. At the surface, a cold front will likely extend
southwestward across central TX from a weak low near southeastern OK
and northeastern TX at the start of the period. Generally elevated thunderstorms may be ongoing Saturday morning across parts of
central/east TX in a modest low-level warm/moist advection regime.
Weak MUCAPE (less than 500 J/kg) should preclude a severe risk
along/north of the cold front through much of the morning.
Ahead of the cold front, low to perhaps mid 60s surface dewpoints
should advance northward into parts of the middle/upper TX Coast
region by midday. Even though diurnal heating will likely be muted
by widespread cloud cover and mid-level lapse rates should remain
poor, there is some potential for MLCAPE around 250-500 J/kg to
develop by early Saturday afternoon ahead of the front along/near
the coast. Assuming sufficient boundary-layer destabilization, there
will be enough deep-layer shear (40-50 kt) to support updraft
organization. Isolated strong/gusty winds should be the main threat
with any robust storms that can develop over land, before they move
offshore fairly quickly early Saturday afternoon. Even though
low-level flow is not forecast to be overly strong, around 100-150
m2/s of 0-1 km SRH may be present very near the coast. Accordingly,
a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
Once storms move over the Gulf Saturday afternoon, the marginal
severe threat across parts of the middle/upper TX Coast will end. A
weak surface low may develop eastward along/near the LA Coast
Saturday evening and overnight as the mid-level shortwave trough
continues moving eastward. However, the inland advance of
substantial low-level moisture appears unlikely, with generally
elevated convection expected across LA and the lower MS Valley
Saturday night.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the central Gulf Coast
through Florida on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
Two shortwave troughs are forecast to be embedded within the broad
upper troughing expected to be in place across the central and
eastern CONUS on Sunday morning. Lead shortwave initially extending
from the middle OH Valley into GA will continue northeastward off
the northern Mid-Atlantic/southern New England Coast. The second
shortwave will likely begin the period extending from the central
Plains into the southern High Plains. Expectation is for this
shortwave to quickly progress southeastward through the mid/lower MS
Valley and Southeast.
Surface low forecast to start the period just off the southeast LA
coast is expected to track eastward along the central and
northeastern Gulf Coast before moving across northern FL late. Given
the expected path of this low, inland penetration of the warm sector
will be minimal. A few lightning flashes are possible amid the weak
buoyancy and modest ascent near the surface low and along the
attendant cold front, both along the central Gulf Coast, southern
GA, and the FL Panhandle.
Strong flow aloft will spread across the FL Peninsula, with the
resulting vertical shear strong enough to support organized
updrafts. However, warm temperatures aloft and modest low-level
moisture will limit buoyancy. The current expectation is for
predominantly transient and shallow updrafts along and ahead of the
front as it moves over the central and southern FL Peninsula.

Isolated thunderstorms are expected across much of Florida and
southeast Georgia on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough extending from the Upper Midwest to the southern
Plains Sunday morning will pivot eastward through the period,
extending from the lower Great Lakes to FL by Monday morning. At the
surface, a weak low near the mouth of the MS River will develop
eastward across the northeasterly Gulf of Mexico through early
evening. Meanwhile, a cold front will shift eastward across the Gulf
of Mexico in tandem with the low, eventually shifting east/southeast
across northern and central FL overnight.
Low level moisture will increase across the eastern Gulf ahead of
the surface low and cold front, while mid/upper southwesterly flow
strengthens. However, a poorer-quality airmass over northern FL into
the central peninsula will be slower to recover. Surface dewpoints
in the 50s to near 60 F will reside over much of FL through peak
heating, limiting instability. Furthermore, some warming aloft will
result in shallower convection. Clusters of thunderstorms will
likely move onshore north of the Tampa area during the afternoon in
the vicinity of a warm front. However, this activity will quickly
lift north of the front and into a drier, weakly unstable airmass
and should pose little threat for severe convection.
Most guidance does bring richer low level moisture into the southern
peninsula and along the west coast of FL from near Tampa southward
after peak heating. However, will be ill-timed with stronger forcing
moving well to the northeast of the region by evening. Furthermore,
any convection moving onshore will likely outpace the arrival of
better moisture. While a strong storm can not be totally ruled out,
confidence is low that severe convection will occur.

Some shower activity is possible across parts of central into

moisture return is expected to be modest and even elevated
instability will be meager. While a lightning flash or two could

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon/night
from the middle/upper Texas Coast across much of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.
...Synopsis...
A deep upper trough is expected to extend from the Canadian Prairie
Provinces southwestward into the Four Corners early Wednesday
morning. Several shortwave troughs will rotate through this parent
upper trough, contributing to both eastward progression and
continued deepening. Upper flow around the trough will also
strengthen significantly throughout the period, with a corridor of
100+ kt 500-mb winds expected from the Lower Mississippi Valley into
southern Ontario by early Thursday morning.
At the surface, low associated with the lead shortwave embedded
within the larger upper trough will begin the period centered over
east-central Minnesota/northwest Wisconsin. A strong cold front will
extend from this low southwestward through the Middle Missouri
Valley and Oklahoma into southwest Texas. Fast
eastward/southeastward progression of this front is expected
throughout the day, and the front will likely extend from eastern
Lower Michigan south-southwestward into the western Florida
Panhandle by 12Z Thursday.
...Lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf Coast States...
Low-level moisture will increase ahead of the southeastward-moving
cold front, with low/some middle 60s F surface dewpoints becoming
increasingly common by late afternoon/evening from the Texas coast
into Louisiana/southern Mississippi. Semi-prevalent cloud cover will
tend to limit heating with lapse rates remaining poor, resulting in
only modest buoyancy. Regardless, surface-based storms are likely to
develop near/just ahead of the front by late afternoon/early evening
across the middle/upper Texas coastal plain into Louisiana.
Low to mid-level wind fields will be strong, supporting stronger
storms with any more persistent and deep updrafts. Although there
are some uncertainties regarding the overall magnitude of the severe
risk, damaging thunderstorm gusts will be possible and some tornado
risk may exist as well.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR EASTERN SC...EASTERN NC...AND FAR SOUTHEAST VA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected across the Mid-Atlantic States
Thursday afternoon and evening. Isolated severe thunderstorms are
also possible across portions of southeast Alabama, southwest
Georgia, and Florida Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A deep upper trough will extend from western Ontario southwestward
through TX early Thursday morning. A shortwave trough embedded
within the larger upper trough is expected to eject eastward across
the Lower MS Valley before arcing more northeastward into the TN
Valley. Evolution of the embedded shortwave will help induce a
neutral tilt to the upper trough by Thursday afternoon, and a
slightly negative tilt and closed upper circulation over the OH
Valley by late Thursday night/early Friday morning.
The maturing process of the upper trough will also result in further strengthening of the winds throughout its periphery. By early Friday
morning, 100+ kt 500-mb winds will likely extend from the mid MS
Valley southeastward/eastward through the base of the trough over
the Southeast and then back northeastward into the Northeast. Very
intense low-level flow is also expected, with 60+ kt at 850-mb
extending from the Carolinas through the Mid-Atlantic into Quebec.
Surface low associated with the embedded shortwave trough is
forecast to begin the period over central AL before racing
northeastward throughout the day. By early Friday morning, this low
will likely be over western NY. This low is also expected to deepen
during the period, helping to induce moisture return across the
Mid-Atlantic.
...Mid-Atlantic States...
Moisture return ahead of surface low and its attendant cold front is
expected to net low 60s dewpoints across the Carolinas and southeast
VA by the late afternoon/evening. Heating will be tempered by
widespread cloud cover and lapse rates will remain modest. However,
the anticipated moisture return should still be sufficient for
modest instability by the afternoon. At the same time, very
impressive kinematic profiles will be in place over the warm sector,
with 50-70 kt 850+ mb flow contributing to large, looping low-level
hodographs. 0-1 km storm-relative helicity will likely exceed 250
m2/s2 over the warm sector. Any discrete/semi-discrete storms that
develop within this environment should become supercellular and pose
a threat for tornadoes. However, several factors are difficult to
ascertain at this forecast range, including the speed of the cold
front, quality of the moisture return, and coverage of
surface-based, warm-sector storms. These factors preclude
introducing higher tornado probabilities with this outlook, but
upgrades may be needed in subsequent outlooks.
Additional severe potential will exist along the front as it moves
through the region. Both damaging wind gusts and QLCS tornadoes are
possible along the front as it moves through the region. Higher wind probabilities may also be needed in later outlooks once the amount
of buoyancy ahead of the front become more certain.
...Portions of GA and FL...
Modest severe potential is anticipated early Thursday along and
ahead of the front as it moves across the FL Panhandle and southeast AL/southwest GA. In this region, modest instability and strong flow
will likely support a few strong/severe storms. Similar
environmental conditions, but with less low-level shear, could also
contribute to a few strong/severe storms across the FL Peninsula as
the front moves through.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Monday along the coast of
southern California but no severe threat is expected.
...DISCUSSION...
An upper-level low will move east-northeastward from near the
central coast of California into the Intermountain West on Monday. A
trough extending southwestward from the low will approach the coast
of southern California during the afternoon. Thunderstorm
development will be possible within a plume of mid-level moisture
associated with the trough. The chance for lightning will gradually
increase southeastward along the coast from Santa Barbara into the
Los Angeles vicinity during the day. Instability will be weak which
will limit any severe potential. Elsewhere across the continental
United States, thunderstorm development is not expected Monday or
Monday night.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Monday along the coast of

...Discussion...
Split flow aloft is expected across the U.S. Monday, as a
northern-stream trough shifts across the Great Lakes and Northeast,
while a southern-stream trough/low shifts inland over California and
then across the Intermountain West.
At the surface, a weak/fast-moving cold front will cross the
Northeast/New England, while a Pacific front shifts across the
Southwest.
While most of the country will remain stable, precluding thunder
potential, cold air/steep lapse rates aloft associated with the low
moving onshore may provide enough instability to support a few
lightning flashes near or just off the southern California coast.
This activity should diminish as the upper system passes overnight.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms are not anticipated Tuesday into
Tuesday night.
...Synopsis...
A broad, positively tilted upper trough will move eastward on
Tuesday, with the southern portion of the trough expected to dig
southward over Mexico, while the northern portion is forecast to be
more progressive as it moves across the central/northern Plains. A
weak surface trough will become established during the day across
the southern High Plains, before a cold front surges southward
across much of the southern Plains Tuesday night into early
Wednesday morning.
...Southern Plains...
Modest low-level moisture (surface dewpoints in the 50s F) is
forecast to stream northward across portions of west/central TX into
southwest OK by Tuesday evening, in advance of the cold front.
Surface-based buoyancy is expected to remain minimal, but weak
elevated buoyancy (MUCAPE of 250-750 J/kg) may develop during the evening/overnight as the upper trough approaches. Elevated
convection will become increasingly widespread near/north of the
cold front Tuesday night, within a broad warm-advection regime.
While strong midlevel southwesterlies will support effective shear
magnitudes in excess of 40 kt, weak instability and the tendency for
convection to coalesce into cluster or linear modes (versus more
discrete modes) are expected to limit the severe hail risk, though
small hail will be possible. One or more line segments with the
potential for gusty winds cannot be ruled out, though there is
currently too much uncertainty regarding the potential and location
of any organized upscale growth to include wind probabilities at
this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN AND VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms -- and limited severe potential -- will affect
portions of the Texas Coastal Plain and Hill Country from late
afternoon Wednesday into the overnight hours.
...Synopsis...
A highly amplified, split flow pattern will prevail across the U.S.
Wednesday. In the northern stream, a trough initially over the
upper Midwest is forecast to move quickly east-northeastward across
the Great Lakes, reaching New England late. Meanwhile, a second,
eastern Pacific short-wave trough will move inland over the Pacific
Northwest early, and dig southeastward toward the Great Basin
through the period.
Meanwhile in the southern stream, an upper low is forecast to move
across northern Mexico.
At the surface, a cold front will move eastward across the Great
Lakes region and into New England, and southeastward across the
Ohio/mid and lower Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys, and southern
Plains.
Meanwhile, in response to the Mexican upper low, cyclogenesis is
expected to occur during the second half of the period near the
lower/middle Texas coast, eventually becoming commingled with the southeastward-moving cold front.
...Texas Coastal Plain and portions of the Hill Country...
Showers and embedded thunderstorms -- ongoing at the start of the
period -- are forecast to spread southeastward across the southern
Plains Wednesday, along and behind the advancing cold front.
Meanwhile, pre-frontal shower activity is forecast to increase ahead
of the front, with scattered thunderstorms evolving from within this
activity by evening as warm advection increases ahead of the
advancing upper system.
Limited CAPE is expected in the vicinity of the front as it advances
across Texas, with warm mid-level air/modest lapse rates limiting
convective intensity. Still, given ample flow aloft that may aid in
sustenance of a few stronger updrafts, a 5% risk for hail appears
warranted.
Later, as a surface low develops near the southeast Texas coast, an
increase in convection just ahead of the advancing front is
expected. With favorable low-level veering/shear, beneath amply
strong mid-level flow, a few rotating storms may evolve overnight.
As such, very limited potential for a tornado (2%) and locally
gusty/damaging winds (5%) will be included in this outlook, centered
over the middle Texas Coastal Plain.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND INTO
SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms -- including potential for tornadoes -- are
expected Thursday and Thursday night from southeast Texas into the
lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast States.
...Synopsis...
An upper pattern featuring split flow will persist across the U.S.
Thursday. In the southern stream, a low over northern Mexico at the
start of the period is forecast to rotate northeastward and then
northward across central and eastern Texas and into Oklahoma late.
Meanwhile, a short-wave trough emanating from the northern stream is
forecast to dig rapidly southward across Nevada and California,
eventually evolving into a second low over the southern
Arizona/northwestern Mexico vicinity through latter stages of the
period.
At the surface, the primary feature will be a low initially near the
southern Texas coast. This low is forecast to deepen gradually
through the day, as it shifts north-northeastward into southeastern
Texas. Overnight, the northward drift will continue, with the low
reaching eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas and occluding through the end of
the period.
As the low shifts northward, low-level theta-e advection off the
Gulf of Mexico will occur across the lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf
Coast states, ahead of a cold front which will sweep eastward across
Louisiana and Mississippi through the second half of the period.
...Southeast Texas to Alabama and western parts of Florida
Panhandle...
Showers and scattered thunderstorms will be ongoing at the start of
the period across portions of central and eastern Texas, including a
few stronger/possibly severe storms in the vicinity of the middle
Texas Coastal Plain. With time, as the surface low deepens and
shifts northward into southeastern Texas, continued influx of higher
theta-e air and very limited heating will permit some
intensification of convection to occur, as storms spread across
southeastern Texas and into Louisiana. Aiding the convective intensification/organization will be an increase in both low-level
veering, and deep-layer shear, to the east and northeast of the low
as it begins to occlude. Along with potential for locally damaging
winds and possibly hail, risk for tornadoes will increase, as shear
becomes increasingly favorable for low-level storm rotation.
With time, threat will diminish from west to east as a cold front
trailing from the northward-moving low advances across east Texas,
and into Louisiana during the evening. Greatest tornado risk
appears likely to evolve from late afternoon through mid evening,
both ahead of the cold front across southeastern Texas and western
Louisiana, and near a northward-moving Gulf warm front from central
Louisiana into southwestern Mississippi.
Overnight, some risk will spread into Alabama, and eventually
western portions of the Florida Panhandle, where potential for
locally gusty winds and a tornado or two may linger through the end
of the period.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS INTO THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH
CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and a
marginal tornado threat will be possible on Friday from the Florida
Panhandle northward to the Ohio Valley and northeastward into South
Carolina.
...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys....
An upper-level low will move through the mid Mississippi Valley on
Friday as southwest mid-level flow remains over the Southeast and
Carolinas. At the surface, a low will be located in the lower Ohio
Valley at the start of the period with a cold front extending
southward across middle Tennessee into western Alabama. This front
will move eastward during the day. Thunderstorms appear likely to be
ongoing along and just ahead of the front Friday morning with this
convection moving eastward across Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama
into early afternoon. Although surface dewpoints ahead of the front
are forecast to be in the lower to mid 60s F from middle Tennessee
southward, instability should remain weak along the moist axis due
to abundant cloud cover and minimal surface heating.
At mid-levels, a 60 to 80 kt jet is forecast to move northeastward
across the mid Mississippi Valley during the day. This feature will
create strong deep-layer shear profiles which will support a
marginal severe threat along and just ahead of the cold front. The
greatest threat will likely be in the late morning and early
afternoon from western Kentucky southward into middle Tennessee,
before the mid-level jet moves away from the moist sector. A
marginal wind damage/tornado threat may develop with the stronger
rotating cells.
...Southeast/South Carolina...
An upper-level trough will move northeastward across the Gulf Coast
States Friday morning as a cold front advances eastward across the
region. Thunderstorms will be possible on Friday across the moist
sector, from near the front in Alabama eastward across Georgia and
South Carolina. Instability across the moist sector is forecast to
remain weak. However, strong deep-layer shear will be in place due
to influence of a mid-level jet to the northwest. This combined with
strong low-level flow will create conditions supportive of
marginally severe wind gusts. A marginal tornado threat will also be
possible with cells that rotate.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
THE MID SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and a
marginal tornado threat will be possible on Friday from the Florida
Panhandle northward to the Ohio Valley and northeastward into South
Carolina.
...Synopsis...
Split flow aloft will persist across the U.S. Friday. An upper low
in the southern stream -- initially forecast over Oklahoma -- will
shift quickly northeastward into the Midwest with time, gradually
becoming re-absorbed into the northern stream of westerlies through
the end of the period. Meanwhile, a second low in the southern
stream -- initially over northwestern Mexico -- will progress
steadily east-northeastward into the southern Plains through the
period.
At the surface, a low over the eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas vicinity
Friday morning will move northeastward across the Ozarks through the
day, and then continue northeastward through the evening and
overnight, reaching the Lower Great Lakes Saturday morning. A cold
front trailing from this low is forecast to advance slowly eastward
across the central Gulf Coast states/Mid South region through the
first half of the period, and then approach/reach the central and
southern Appalachian crest by the end of the period. East of the
mountains, a cold air dam/wedge front lying across northern Georgia
and South Carolina will linger in place through the day, before
weakening overnight as low-level southerly flow evolves across the
East Coast states ahead of the advancing cold front.
...Kentucky/Tennessee south to the Florida Panhandle...
Showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the
start of the period, from near the Missouri/Illinois border
south-southeast across western Tennessee and into eastern
Mississippi/western Alabama, in the vicinity of the cold front.
Ahead of the front, weak lapse rates and widespread cloud cover --
plus scattered, warm-advection-induced convection will substantially
limit warm-sector instability. Still, favorably strong deep-layer
flow, and veering in the low-level wind field -- particularly with
northward extent -- will support potential for a few
organized/rotating storms. While severe potential should remain
subdued given the thermodynamic deficiencies, a couple of locally
damaging gusts, or a tornado or two, cannot be ruled out.
...Georgia and South Carolina vicinity...
Showers and scattered thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing over
portions of the area at the start of the period, and will persist
through the afternoon and into the evening, within a persistent zone
of warm advection ahead of the cold front. Given weak lapse rates
and widespread precipitation and associated cloud cover, minimal destabilization potential is noted. Still, with strong deep-layer
flow across the region, a few stronger storms -- capable of gusty
winds possibly nearing or reaching severe levels, may occur. In
addition, limited potential for a tornado or two may also evolve,
perhaps greatest near the remnant wedge front where low-level
vorticity would be maximized. Severe risk will eventually diminish
into the overnight hours, as weak short-wave ridging -- and
associated large-scale subsidence/warming aloft evolves across the
Southeast through the end of the period.

Severe storms are not expected on Saturday. A strong storm may graze
the Outer Banks of North Carolina early Sunday morning.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A strong upper trough will move from the Southern Plains 12Z
Saturday across the lower Mississippi Valley by 00Z and
northeastward across the Appalachians overnight. Meanwhile, a
fast-moving, compact shortwave trough will proceed east across New
England during the day.
At the surface, a cold front from the eastern wave will move
southward toward the NC/SC border by 00Z, while another front
lingers from central GA into the FL Panhandle. Preceding the
stronger trough, temperatures aloft will not be particularly cool,
which when combined with only lower to possibly mid 60s F dewpoints
will result in little SBCAPE.
Storms are expected to be ongoing near the front early Saturday
across the eastern FL Panhandle, with further development of rain
and thunderstorms across GA and the Carolinas during the day.
Forecast soundings indicate very poor lapse rates, so much so that
there may be minimal lightning. As such, severe weather is not
expected there.
Overnight and as the upper trough swings northeast across the
Appalachians, dewpoints may rise slightly across far eastern NC in
response to a weak low developing there. Point soundings near the
coast suggest surface based parcels may not be far off, but the most
likely scenario is for the stronger convection to remain offshore.
If later model runs suggest better surface-based destabilization
inland than currently forecast, low severe probabilities may be
considered for far eastern NC as shear will become strong.

While an upper low/trough moves rapidly across New England during
the first half of the period, and a short-wave trough moves across
the Intermountain West, the primary feature aloft will be a
low/trough initially residing over the central and southern Plains.
This feature will shift east-northeastward Saturday, crossing the
middle and lower Mississippi Valley during the second half of the
period and reaching the Midwest/Ohio Valley region late.
At the surface, a cold front is forecast to lie across the Carolinas/Georgia/the Florida Panhandle at the start of the period,
and should linger in place as the aforementioned upper system
advances. As the southern fringe of this system brushes the
Southeast, a weak surface frontal wave may evolve, moving across the
eastern Carolinas through the second half of the period.
Very weak instability is expected near and ahead of the surface
front, given weak lapse rates. While ascent will be sufficient to
support showers and a few thunderstorms, particularly as the front
wave evolves, the lack of more favorable instability and only modest
shear should preclude inland severe potential through the period.
Elsewhere, severe weather is not expected.

by midday, with rapid drying across the remainder of the Southeast.
Ahead of the front and prior to 18Z, low and possibly mid 60s F
dewpoints will exist, resulting in weak instability. However, lapse
rates will be poor, and given the rapid veering of the low-level
winds with time, the threat of strong storms, and thunderstorms in
general, appears minimal.

...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
U.S., Sunday through Sunday night.
...Discussion...
Within one branch of split westerlies emanating from the
mid-latitude eastern Pacific, it appears that general large-scale
mid-level troughing will undergo substantive evolution, broadening
while shifting east of the southern Great Plains through the
Atlantic Seaboard. As it translates eastward, initially prominent
mid-level subtropical ridging centered over the Caribbean and
Bahamas will become increasingly suppressed through this period.
As a couple of short wave perturbations embedded within this regime
progress across and dig to the lee of the Rockies, one significant
downstream impulse, emerging from the southern Great Plains, is
forecast to accelerate across the Ohio Valley through the northern
Mid Atlantic/southern New England coast vicinity Sunday through
Sunday night. Models indicate that this will support significant
surface cyclogenesis along a frontal zone across and northeast of
the southern Mid Atlantic coast. While the warm conveyor of this
developing system may emanate from the southern Gulf of Mexico, it
appears that it will be confined to a narrow plume across the
Florida Peninsula into areas near or just east of the southern Mid
Atlantic coast by 12Z Sunday, before continuing to spread eastward.
In the wake of this cyclone, generally dry and/or stable conditions
are expected to prevail across most areas east of the Rockies, and
into the Intermountain West. A plume of moist air emanating from
the subtropical Pacific does appear likely to overspread the Pacific
coast (from central California northward), ahead of a cold front
trailing a deep, occluding cyclone migrating toward the British
Columbia coast. However, relatively warm mid level air on the
western flank of building mid-level ridging shifting inland of the
Pacific coast is expected to preclude an appreciable risk for
thunderstorms through at least this period.
...Southeast...
Showers are possible Sunday within the narrow plume of moisture
overspreading the Florida Peninsula. However, it appears that this
will be mostly elevated above a stable boundary-layer, with
relatively warm layers aloft suppressing potential for
thunderstorms,
By 12Z Sunday, model output generally suggests that the primary risk
for thunderstorm activity will be within the moist unstable boundary
layer off the North Carolina coast, However, weak elevated
instability may linger ahead of the developing surface low near
coastal areas, perhaps providing support for convection capable of
producing a flash or two of lightning early Sunday.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few low-topped thunderstorms will be possible Monday across the
coastal Pacific Northwest and into parts of northern California.
...Synopsis...
Strong cooling aloft/height falls will occur through 00Z over WA, OR
and northern CA as a shortwave trough moves ashore. Convergence near
a cold front will be maximized along the OR and northern CA coastal
areas, and this is where low-topped thunderstorms are most likely.
Forecast soundings indicate MLCAPE around 100 J/kg eventually
developing over southwest OR and coastal northern CA as lapse rates
steepen with the rapid cooling aloft. Low-level winds will likely
veer by this time, resulting in long hodographs. Gusty winds are
possible with the heavier convection, but severe chances appear low
at this time.
Elsewhere, offshore surface winds will result in stable conditions
over much of the central and eastern states with high pressure at
the surface.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorm activity is possible along Pacific Northwest
coastal areas, mainly late Monday afternoon, with lightning also
possible along the northern Sierra Nevada.
...Discussion...
Much of North America will remain under the influence of branching
westerlies, downstream of a persistent strong zonal jet across the
southern mid-latitude and subtropical Pacific, which may nose as far
east as 140-145 W latitude during this period. Stronger surface
cyclogenesis associated with this feature will remain focused across
the northeastern Pacific, but an emerging mid-level perturbation and
associated occluding surface front are forecast to progress inland
of the U.S. Pacific coast Monday through Monday night. The front
appears to be preceded by a plume of moisture emanating from the
subtropical latitudes, and models suggest that moisture influx will
become maximized across the northern California coast into the
northern Sierra Nevada during the day Monday, before becoming
cut-off by the inland advancing cold front.
Downstream, it appears that mid-level troughing may undergo some
further amplification east of the Mississippi valley into the
western Atlantic. This will include a number of embedded short wave perturbations, including one advancing east of the New England
coast, where it will provide support for further deepening of an
offshore surface cyclone. As this occurs, the trailing surface cold
front, and narrow plume of moisture return emanating from the
southern Gulf of Mexico, are expected to shift south of the Florida
Peninsula and Keys, with considerable further mid/low-level drying
across much of the Gulf of Mexico. This will contribute to the
maintenance of generally dry and/or stable conditions across most
areas east of the Rockies.
...Pacific Coast states...
Models suggest that the development of thermodynamic profiles most
conducive to convection capable of producing lightning will be late
Monday afternoon, around 05/00Z (plus or minus an hour or two),
along the Oregon into Washington coast. It appears that this will
take place within the post-frontal regime, and coincident with the
inland progression of the mid-level thermal trough axis (with temps
at or below -30C at 500 mb).
Otherwise, models suggest that mid-level cooling may steepen lapse
rates sufficiently to support convection capable of producing
lightning within the moist pre-frontal regime across northern
California coastal areas Monday afternoon. Convection capable of
producing lightning may also develop into the northern Sierra
Nevada, aided by intensifying pre-frontal lift supported by
low/mid-level warm advection and orography, which may become focused
near or to the west of the Tahoe Valley vicinity by 05/00Z.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
EAST TEXAS AND INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon and night
from eastern Texas into Louisiana. A few stronger storms are
possible over southeast Texas during the afternoon.
...Synopsis...
While one upper trough continues to depart from the Northeast
Wednesday, and a second moves into/across the Pacific Northwest, the
main feature aloft with respect to any possible severe weather will
be a sharp trough emerging into the Plains. As vorticity within the
southern portion of this trough -- initially crossing the southern
high Plains -- advances, a closed low may evolve overnight, and
shift across the Arklatex area by the end of the period.
At the surface, weak cyclogenesis is expected over east Texas during
the day, as the aforementioned upper system evolves. By late
afternoon/early evening, a weak low should reside near the Sabine
River Valley, while a trailing front sweeps eastward out of east
Texas into western Louisiana and the western Gulf. By the end of
the period, the low should reach southeastern Louisiana.
...East Texas/far southwestern Louisiana...
As the upper trough advances/evolves, and a weak low develops over
east Texas, some low-level theta-e advection and weak surface
heating will allow modest destabilization to occur, with mixed-layer
CAPE of a few hundred J/kg expected in the small inland warm sector
during the afternoon. Elevated showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop during the morning over the northeastern
Texas/Arklatex vicinity in a zone of pre-frontal warm advection,
followed by more substantial convective development near -- and just
behind -- an evolving cold front that will move across the area as
the surface low develops. A few of the strongest storms may produce
gusty winds, with a brief tornado also possible. The greatest risk
would appear to exist over the southeastern Texas vicinity, where
the southern fringe of more favorable low-level shear overlaps with
the northern extent of the CAPE maximum -- particularly if any
cellular, surface-based pre-frontal convection can evolve ahead of
the low/front.
Overnight, a slight/gradual stabilization of the low-level airmass
is expected, which should allow any lingering severe potential to
wane, though showers and storms will continue moving across Louisiana/Mississippi through the end of the period.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA AND AREAS JUST OFFSHORE FROM THE ALABAMA AND
FLORIDA PANHANDLE COASTS...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible Thursday across the Southeast, with very low/conditional threat for a brief tornado mainly from the mouth of
the Mississippi eastward to just south of the Florida Panhandle
coast.
...Synopsis...
A complex/amplified flow field aloft is progged over the U.S. this
period, with the main feature of interest being an upper low that
will advance eastward across the southeastern quarter of the country
through the period. Elsewhere, a second/substantial trough crossing
the eastern Pacific will near the Pacific Northwest Coast late.
At the surface, a weak low will shift eastward from the central Gulf
Coast area during the day, and then across north Florida and into
the southeastern Atlantic overnight. Meanwhile, a cold front --
trailing from a low that will remain offshore -- will reach the
Pacific Northwest Coast overnight.
...Far southeastern LA east along the Florida Panhandle Coast...
Strong low-level warm advection, atop a stable boundary layer, is
expected across the Southeast Thursday, as the upper cyclone and
attendant/weak surface low advance. While favorably strong/veering
flow through the lower troposphere will precede the low, it appears increasingly unlikely that any appreciable surface-based CAPE will
develop inland. Thus, the MRGL risk area is being adjusted
southward, largely confined to areas just offshore, where a brief
tornado cannot be ruled out.

...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms may occur late Saturday night over parts of
central/south Texas, with isolated lightning flashes possible over
coastal Oregon as well. Severe weather is not expected.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
An upper trough/low is forecast to move southeastward across the
Four Corners region on Saturday, eventually reaching the southern
High Plains late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Strong
lift preceding this feature will encourage precipitation to develop
across parts of the southern Plains. However, very little low-level
moisture return is expected to occur ahead of the upper trough/low
owing to a prior frontal intrusion over the Gulf of Mexico. Still,
some guidance suggests there may be just enough elevated MUCAPE
(100-250 J/kg) in the presence of a southerly low-level jet to
support isolated thunderstorms across parts of central/south TX,
mainly after 09Z. Even though deep layer shear will strengthen
across this region, the weak instability will greatly limit
organized severe thunderstorm potential.
Elsewhere, cold temperatures aloft associated with an approaching
upper trough may support very weak elevated instability and perhaps
isolated lightning flashes across parts of coastal OR late Saturday
night.

A shortwave trough with cyclonically curved speed max will move east

east/northeast surface winds will maintain a cool/stable air mass
with high pressure, preventing any appreciable destabilization along
the Gulf Coast. Models clearly show the surface low remaining over
the Gulf of Mexico, with little if any SBCAPE over land. Despite
this, southerly winds and moisture advection above the surface will
likely result in weak elevated instability, supporting at least
isolated elevated thunderstorms across much of southern and eastern
TX and perhaps southern LA.

Moisture return ahead of the front will be minimal. However, bands
of showers are likely across parts of the southeastern states to the Mid-Atlantic. Most guidance suggests a narrow corridor of 50s F
dewpoints will stretch from the FL peninsula northward along the

A few thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening

...South Texas...
Low-amplitude shortwave ridging aloft will gradually build across TX
Tuesday. A weak vorticity maximum may move through the upper ridge

Partially modified Gulf air with dewpoints generally in the low 60s
F will advect through the pre-frontal warm sector. Scattered showers
are expected to develop, primarily in the frontal zone. Forecast
soundings indicate presence of a capping inversion near 700 mb which
will serve as a limiting factor for deeper convection, especially
given weak forcing aloft and tendency for the ridge to build.
Nevertheless a few deeper updrafts with potential for isolated
lightning flashes cannot be ruled out, especially during the
evening.
...Southern California Coast...
An upper low will move southward from NV and southern CA early
Tuesday to off the southern CA coast during the evening. Cool
temperatures aloft promoting 7-7.5 mid-level lapse rates and
vorticity maxima rotating through the upper low circulation will
promote the development of mid-level convection. Some of these
updrafts might become deep enough for a few lightning flashes near
the coast, but most thunderstorm activity will remain offshore.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe weather is not expected across the U.S. on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
The upper low over the lower Colorado River Valley/northwest Mexico
will weaken and become an open wave as it progresses east/northeast
across New Mexico, and moves into the southern Plains overnight.
Cooling temperatures aloft near the compact low/shortwave trough
will result in steep midlevel lapse rates and enough instability to
support isolated lightning flashes near the Colorado Valley and into
southern AZ.
Further east, a southern and northern stream jet over the TN
Valley/southern states and the Midwest will merge as a broad trough
envelopes the eastern half of the country. Modest cooling aloft as
the upper southwestern upper trough approaches during the evening
and nighttime hours will allow for modest instability across
portions of north TX into the lower MS Valley. A few lightning
flashes could accompany showers during the later half of the
forecast period.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
No severe weather is expected across the U.S. Friday.
...Synopsis...
An upper low and attendant trough near coastal northern CA at the
beginning of the period will pivot east/southeast through period,
emerging over the Great Basin and much of the rest of the southwest
U.S. by Saturday morning. Surface low pressure will develop over
parts of CA into NV, bringing a Pacific front east/southeast across
CA. Showers will accompany this system much of the period.
Steepening lapse rates due to cooling aloft should result in
sufficient instability to support a few thunderstorms around the San
Francisco area and surrounding hills.
Further east, broad, weak cyclonically-curved upper level flow will
dominate east of the Mississippi River. A weak mid/upper shortwave
trough over the southern Plains Friday morning will eject eastward
across the lower MS Valley during the afternoon, and weaken as it
continues east across the remainder of the Southeast. A weak surface
cold front will reside near the Gulf Coast during the morning and
slowly sag southward through Saturday morning. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Friday morning and could
persist toward midday across parts of southern LA/MS. This activity
will exist in a weakly unstable environment with any thunderstorm
being undercut by the front, limiting any severe potential.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the U.S. on Saturday.
...Synopsis...
An upper shortwave trough, embedded in the larger-scale western U.S.
trough will dig along the CA coast during the day on Saturday,
before ejecting eastward over northwest Mexico and the lower
Colorado Valley. Forecast soundings near the southwest CA coast and
nearby mountains indicated cooling temperatures aloft, resulting in
steepening lapse rates. Instability will remain low, generally less
than 150 J/kg MUCAPE, but sufficient given strong forcing, and
isolated thunderstorms are possible.
Further east, an upper trough will move offshore from the Atlantic
coast, replaced by a weak upper ridge across the eastern half of the
CONUS. Surface high pressure over the Midwest will slowly shift east
toward the Mid-Atlantic/central Appalachians, mitigating much in the
way of Gulf return flow. As such, dry and stable conditions will
persist for much of the period, and thunderstorms are not expected
east of the Rockies.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTH TEXAS...SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN ARKANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe storms -- capable of producing hail -- may occur over
portions of North Texas, southern Oklahoma, and far western Arkansas
Sunday evening/overnight.
...Synopsis...
While weakly anticyclonic/westerly flow will prevail over the
eastern half of the country Sunday and Sunday night, a short-wave
trough -- embedded within broader/long-wave cyclonic flow over the
West -- is forecast to eject northeastward from the Desert
Southwest, reaching the Kansas/Oklahoma area by the end of the
period. Meanwhile, persistent large-scale cyclonic flow will be
maintained over the west, as elongated short-wave troughing digs
southeastward along the western NOAM coast.
At the surface, a rather ill-defined Pacific cold front crossing the
Desert Southwest will become a bit sharper with time, as surface
frontogenesis increases in a north-south zone encompassing roughly
the central third of Texas. By the end of the period, a cold front
should extend from a surface low over the eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas
vicinity, south-southwestward across East and Deep South Texas.
Showers and occasional/embedded lighting will accompany the advance
of the upper trough across the Southwest/Four Corners states, while
more robust/widespread storms evolve mainly during the second half
of the period, in a zone of elevated warm advection over the
southern Plains vicinity.
...Portions of North Texas/southern Oklahoma/western Arkansas...
Current indications continue to suggest that despite low-level
theta-e advection, a capped boundary layer should persist across the
northern and eastern Texas warm sector, as the cold front
sharpens/shifts eastward across the southern Plains. Still, as QG
ascent increases across north Texas and into Oklahoma with time,
expect elevated storms to erupt -- predominantly after dark --
across this area. Moderately steep mid-level lapse rates
anticipated, and presence of strong west-southwesterly flow
increasing with height through the cloud-bearing layer, suggest that
a few stronger storms -- possibly exhibiting mid-level updraft
rotation -- will eventually evolve. As such, hail risk is apparent,
as reflected by the inclusion of a severe weather area.
At this time, risk for surface-based storms -- and thus potential
for damaging winds and even a tornado -- appears quite low, mainly
due to the likelihood that aforementioned capping hinders
surface-based development. However, should ascent accompanying
passage of the front prove sufficient to force a band of
near-surface-based storms, low-end risks for these additional
hazards would be possible. This appears to be an unlikely scenario
at this time, and thus is reflected by the lack of wind/tornado
probabilities. However, should hints that a possibly weaker cap, or
stronger ascent, may evolve across the area, appropriate forecast
adjustments in later outlooks may be considered.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH-CENTRAL
TX AND SOUTH-CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST OK...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe storms capable of producing hail, damaging wind gusts,
and perhaps even a brief tornado may occur over portions of North
Texas, southern/eastern Oklahoma, and Arkansas Sunday evening
through early Monday morning.
...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau...
Based on recent satellite imagery, a shortwave trough currently
extends from the western Great Basin southwestward across central
CA. This shortwave is expected to continue gradually southeastward
today before then pivoting more eastward late tonight/early tomorrow
morning. The shortwave is then forecast to become more progressive
as it moves across the Southwest on Sunday and into the southern
Plains on Sunday night. A second shortwave trough, accompanied by
strong upper flow through its western periphery, is expected to drop
southward along the CA coast Sunday evening/overnight. Progression
of this second shortwave will help maintain broad upper troughing
across the western CONUS into early Monday.
Modest moisture return is anticipated throughout the warm sector in
place over southern Plains ahead of the lead shortwave. Consensus
among the guidance brings low 60s surface dewpoints to the Red River
by late Sunday evening. Low-level stability should preclude
afternoon/evening storms across much of TX. A few stronger updrafts
may develop amid persistent warm-air advection during the
afternoon/evening from northeast TX northeastward across eastern OK
and across AR. Modest instability should limit both updraft depth
and longevity, but strong vertical shear could result in a few
updrafts strong enough to produce hail.
Greater storm coverage (and attendant severe potential) is expected
late Sunday night into early Monday morning as the surface low
associated with the shortwave moves from northwest TX into northeast
OK. Highest thunderstorm coverage is currently anticipated along and
just north of the surface low track. Instability will be modest, but
very strong vertical shear could result in a few stronger updrafts
capable of hail. Additionally, low-probability potential exists for
a few surface-based storms in the vicinity of front from northeast
TX into far southeast OK/far southwest AR. Given the strong
low/mid-level flow, a threat for damaging wind gusts and perhaps
even a brief tornado could accompany any surface-based storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EAST TEXAS NORTH-NORTHEAST TO THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY AREA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to perhaps locally severe storms may linger into Monday
from East Texas to the mid Mississippi Valley.
...Synopsis...
As elongated upper troughing along the West Coast digs
south-southeastward, reinforcing the mean long-wave trough over the
West, a weakening feature -- ejecting from the western trough today
-- will shift northeastward across the central Plains and into the
Midwest. East and southeast of this feature, low-amplitude ridging
will prevail.
At the surface, a low initially expected across Oklahoma will move east-northeastward into the Ohio Valley, gradually filling in
conjunction with the weakening of the upper system. A cold front
trailing from this system -- across eastern Oklahoma and East Texas
at the start of the period -- will similarly become more ill-defined
with time, as it moves across the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys
and sags into the central Gulf Coast States overnight.
...East Texas to the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio
Rivers...
Showers and embedded thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the
start of the period from eastern portions of the central and
southern Plains, eastward to the lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.
Early in the period, a few robust storms may persist into the
morning and possibly midday hours, along with local/attendant risk
for primarily hail. With time however, as the surface and upper
systems weaken and shift east-northeastward, a less unstable warm
sector with eastward extent should yield steadily diminishing
convective intensity through the afternoon and into the evening
hours.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
TX INTO THE MID MS AND LOWER OH VALLEYS...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to perhaps locally severe storms may linger into Monday
from East Texas to the mid Mississippi Valley.
...Synopsis...
Well-defined shortwave trough currently over southern CA/northern
Baja will move eastward across the Southwest and into southern High
Plains today. This wave is forecast to have transitioned to more of
an open, negatively tilted system by early Monday, likely extending
from the central High Plains southeastward into western OK Monday
morning. This wave is then expected to continue quickly
northeastward throughout the day, losing amplitude as it moves
through the mid MS Valley and Upper Great Lakes. A second shortwave
trough, now visible on satellite imagery off the Pacific Northwest
Coast, is expected to continue southeastward along the CA coast
before pivoting eastward over southern CA Monday evening. Overall
upper pattern will favor continued western CONUS troughing
throughout the period, with a long fetch of moderate to strong
southwesterly flow aloft stretching from the Baja Peninsula into the
OH Valley.
Surface low associated with the lead shortwave trough will likely be
centered over northeast OK early Monday morning, with a cold front
extending southward into northeast TX and then back southwestward
into the TX Hill Country. A warm front is also expected to extend
eastward from the low into western TN. This low will likely occlude
throughout the day as the overall system weakens, but secondary
cyclogenesis is forecast at the triple point, with the resulting low
moving across KY Monday night.
...Northeast TX/Southeast OK into Lower OH Valley...
Pre-frontal warm sector will likely be characterized by low to mid
60s dewpoints early Monday from northeast TX into the Mid-South.
Residual EML is expected to be in place, keeping the potential for surface-based in the immediate vicinity of the front and/or triple
point. Strength of the vertical shear suggests that more
robust/persistent updrafts should be able to acquire rotation, with
the elevated storms capable of hail and the surface-based storms
capable of all severe hazards, but primarily hail. As the day
progresses, convergence along the front will wane, likely
contributing to diminishing storm strength and coverage. The
potential for surface-based inflow is also expected to lessen, but
there is still some chance for damaging wind gusts near the triple
point, where low-level ascent will be greatest, and for hail north
of the warm front into evening.
...MS/AL...
Moisture advection is expected throughout the day, with mid 60s
dewpoints possibly reaching as far north as BHM prior to FROPA. This
increased moisture and resulting increase in buoyancy could
contribute to stronger updrafts and higher storm coverage along and
ahead of front as it moves through MS and AL Monday evening. This
increased moisture could also result in higher potential for
surface-based storm inflow. High resolution guidance varies on this
potential, so confidence in enough coverage to merit severe
probabilities is too low to introduce an area with this outlook.
However, probabilities may be needed in later outlooks if potential
for even severe coverage increases.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA...THE
WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the eastern
Gulf Coast region late Tuesday afternoon or evening, accompanied by
at least some risk for severe weather.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that there will be considerable amplification within
the mid/upper flow regime across the mid-latitude Pacific through
this period, including the development of sharpening ridging along
an axis near 160 W longitude. To the east of this ridge axis, a
vigorous digging short wave trough is forecast to contribute to
deepening large-scale troughing across the eastern Pacific, and into
the Pacific coast vicinity by 12Z Wednesday. It appears that this
will be accompanied by a deep occluding surface cyclone, with the
occluding front advancing inland across the Oregon and northern
California coast late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night. The
front may be preceded by generally modest moisture return, mostly
across northern California coastal areas late Tuesday afternoon and
evening, and the leading edge of the mid-level cold core associated
with the short wave trough may overspread areas to the west of the
Cascades late Tuesday night. However, forecast soundings remain
suggestive that potential for thunderstorm activity is negligible
through at least this period.
Meanwhile, with the approach of the upstream perturbation, a
significant short wave impulse currently digging into the Southwest
is forecast to remain progressive. Models indicate that this
feature will accelerate across the southern Rockies through south
central portions of the Great Plains by late Tuesday night. At the
same time, a downstream perturbation, becoming sheared within an
increasingly confluent regime, is expected to be forced eastward/east-southeastward across southern portions of the Great
Lakes region through southern New England.
In response to these developments, in lower-levels, it appears that
an initial surface cyclone will weaken over the upper Ohio Valley,
while secondary surface cyclogenesis takes place along a warm
frontal zone off the Mid Atlantic coast. As this occurs, a trailing
cold front likely will advance southeast of southern Appalachians
and become quasi-stationary west-southwestward across north central
Gulf coastal areas by late Tuesday night. The front appears likely
to stall generally near the northern periphery of subtropical
ridging (centered over the Caribbean), which may maintain strength
through this period, with a continuing return flow of moisture
around it, along and south of the frontal zone.
...Southeast...
Elevated moisture return above the frontal zone will contribute to
weak destabilization and thermodynamic profiles marginally
supportive of occasional weak thunderstorm activity, largely aided
by forcing for ascent supported by the progressive short wave
impulses.
Warm mid-levels beneath the subtropical ridging, to the south of the
frontal zone, seem likely to minimize thunderstorm development.
However, models do suggest a window of opportunity for
boundary-layer based storm development in a narrow corridor
along/ahead of the surface front across parts of the western Florida
Panhandle, southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia late
Tuesday afternoon and evening. In the wake of the lead short wave
impulse, and in advance of the perturbation emerging from the
Southwest, models suggest that mid-levels may remain sufficiently
cool, as large-scale ascent associated with low-level warm advection
begins to increase, to allow for scattered thunderstorm development.
In the presence of 30-50+ kt west-southwesterly flow in the
850-500 mb layer, mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg
appears possible and may contribute to strong to severe thunderstorm development capable of producing potential damaging wind gusts
before diminishing Tuesday evening.
,,,Southern Rockies into adjacent portions of Great Plains...
Models suggest that weak destabilization is possible across the
higher terrain, and at mid-levels across adjacent portions of the
high plains, beneath the mid-level cold pool associated with the
impulse emerging from the Southwest. It appears that thermodynamic
profiles may become at least marginally conducive to convection
capable of producing lightning, but any such activity probably will
be fairly sparse, with probabilities generally near the minimum
threshold for a categorical thunderstorm outlook.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY ACROSS
PARTS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong thunderstorms may impact parts of southern
Georgia Wednesday, accompanied by at least some risk for severe
weather.
...Synopsis...
One belt of westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific
appears likely to maintain a prominent influence across the U.S.
through this period. Across much of the eastern Pacific, models
indicate that embedded mid/upper ridging will remain amplified, with
downstream troughing undergoing further amplification/sharpening
just west of the Pacific coast, while ridging builds across the
Rockies and Great Plains. As this occurs, broadly confluent flow
eastward through the Atlantic Seaboard (between the blocked regime
across eastern Canada and the prominent subtropical ridge over the
Caribbean), appears likely to transition from westerly to
west-northwesterly. Embedded within this regime, after turning
eastward across the middle Mississippi Valley during the day
Wednesday, a significant remnant impulse emerging from the Southwest
is forecast to dig into southern Mid Atlantic coastal areas by 12Z
Thursday.
In lower levels, models indicate that an initially stalled surface
frontal zone, across the western Atlantic and Southeast into
northwestern Gulf of Mexico, will provide the focus for significant cyclogenesis with the approach of the digging short wave impulse.
While it appears that surface wave development may commence across
the southeastern Alabama/western Florida Panhandle/southwestern
Georgia vicinity by early Wednesday, guidance suggests that this
will remain fairly weak until Wednesday evening, generally well east
of the Carolina coast. As stronger surface cyclogenesis proceeds, a
cold front will surge through much of Florida and the eastern Gulf
of Mexico by late Wednesday night, accompanied by considerable
lower/mid tropospheric drying.
...Southeast...
Along the northern periphery of the subtropical ridging, lower/mid
tropospheric lapse rates will be generally weak, at least initially.
But, conditions along the surface front will still be moist, with a
narrow plume of higher precipitable water content (emanating from
southwestern Gulf of Mexico) initially arcing northeastward along
and north of the frontal zone, before being shunted southward.
Within the warm sector of the developing frontal wave, it appears
that surface dew points in the mid 60s may contribute to weak
boundary-layer CAPE up to 500 + J/kg, across southern Georgia by
Wednesday afternoon. On the southern fringe of the stronger
mid-level height falls, which may glance areas as far south as the Georgia/Florida border vicinity, this may become supportive of
scattered vigorous thunderstorm development. Coinciding with
strengthening of west-southwesterly flow to 40-50 kt around the 850
mb level, enlarging low-level hodographs could become supportive of
supercell structures posing a risk for damaging wind gusts and/or an
isolated tornado or two.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible across parts of coastal and interior
central California, mainly Thursday night, but the risk for severe
weather appears negligible.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that the amplified regime across the eastern Pacific
will undergo transition during this period, with initially sharp
mid/upper ridging (between 140-160 W longitude) becoming suppressed
by the first in a series of digging short wave impulses. As this
occurs, fairly deep, elongated downstream troughing is forecast to
gradually progress inland across the Pacific coast. It appears that
this will include at least one vigorous short wave impulse, which is
forecast to dig into its base, accompanied by a sizable mid-level
cold core with 500 mb temperatures at or below -30C. A modest
surface cyclone and associated reinforcing low-level cold intrusion
may also develop southward along the California coast, into areas
near and southwest of Monterey by late Thursday night.
Farther east, broad mid/upper ridging likely will be maintained
across the Rockies into the Mississippi Valley, with perhaps some
further amplification across the Great Plains. To the southeast of
a blocking high near/northeast of Hudson Bay, it appears that a deep
mid-level low will be forced southeastward toward the lower Great
Lakes region. This will prevent eastward development of the
upstream ridging, and contribute to the evolution of large-scale
troughing across the Atlantic Seaboard into the western Atlantic.
Strong cyclogenesis is forecast to proceed over the western
Atlantic, in association with a preceding vigorous short wave
impulse digging off the southern Mid Atlantic coast by the beginning
of the period. In its wake, a cold front will advance southeast of
the Florida Peninsula, with the leading edge of associated lower/mid tropospheric drying advancing through the Bahamas, Caribbean and
southwestern Gulf of Mexico. While a southerly return flow,
emanating from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, may develop
north-northwestward into the Rio Grande Valley and parts of the
southern Great Plains, this will be elevated above a cool/cold,
stable boundary layer. Beneath relatively warm and capping layers
aloft, forecast soundings suggest that this is unlikely to yield destabilization supportive of thunderstorm activity.
...California...
An initial frontal precipitation band, spreading south and east of
the Monterey vicinity at 12Z Thursday, may be preceded by strong
southerly flow around the 850 mb level on the order of 40-50+ kt.
This may contribute to large, clockwise curved low-level hodographs
across coastal areas into southern portions of the San Joaquin
Valley early in the day, before the low-level jet weakens. However,
forecast soundings within this regime indicate thermodynamic
profiles with little potential for lightning, and lingering stable
layers near the surface which is expected to preclude a severe
weather risk.
In the post-frontal regime, strong mid-level cooling, associated
with the digging mid-level cold core, is expected to contribute to
weak destabilization along and inland of the central California
coast late Thursday through Thursday night. Latest forecast
soundings suggest that thermodynamic profiles will probably become
supportive of scattered convection, occasionally capable of
producing lightning.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorm appears negligible across the U.S.,
Friday through Friday nnight.
...Synopsis...
To the southeast of blocking mid/upper ridging centered across
northern Quebec, large-scale troughing is currently in the process
of evolving near the Atlantic Seaboard into the western Atlantic.
It appears that this will be maintained through this period, as
renewed amplification occurs within the westerlies across the
mid-latitude central into eastern Pacific.
Models indicate that the latter regime will include deepening
large-scale mid-level troughing across the northeastern Pacific, the
leading edge of which may at least approach British Columbia and
Pacific Northwest coastal areas by 12Z Saturday. In advance of this
feature, low amplitude ridging may begin to build inland across
California by late Friday evening, as the significant short wave
trough currently approaching the California coast is forced
east-northeastward.
A vigorous smaller-scale perturbation may still be digging within
the lead short wave trough, to the west of the southern California
coast at 12Z Friday. This feature, and the associated mid-level
cold core (with 500 mb temps around -30C), might not turn completely
inland of the southern California coast until late Friday afternoon
or early evening. However, a more rapid east-northeastward
acceleration is forecast Friday night, with the larger-scale short
wave trough taking on a negative tilt across and east of the
southern Rockies by Saturday morning.
In response to the approaching mid-level perturbation, models
indicate considerable deepening of surface troughing to the lee of
the Rockies, with cyclogenesis commencing across southeast Colorado
by late Friday night. While a southerly return flow off the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico may be underway by Friday morning across
the lower Rio Grande Valley and adjacent southern Great Plains,
substantive boundary-layer moistening (including 60-65F+ surface dew
points) may not reach lower Texas coastal areas until around 12Z
Saturday. Forecast soundings indicate that the depth of this moist
layer will remain fairly shallow, beneath very warm and strongly
capping elevated mixed-layer air.
...Southwest...
Models indicate that the surface cold front associated with the
inland advancing mid-level short wave trough may be in the process
of advancing into/across the lower Colorado Valley by 12Z Friday,
before continuing eastward across the central/southern Arizona
deserts during the day. It appears that the front will be preceded
by moderately strong (30-40+ kt) south/southwesterly flow in the
850-700 mb layer, but moistening and mid-level cooling sufficient to
contribute to thermodynamic profiles conducive to thunderstorm
development are forecast to be confined to the post-frontal regime,
after this flow veers and weakens. With only very weak CAPE
currently anticipated, while some of this activity (which could
impact southern California coastal areas into Friday afternoon, as
well as the Greater Phoenix area by late Friday afternoon) may be
accompanied by small hail/graupel and gusty winds, it is expected to
generally remain well below severe limits.
...Parts of the southern Great Plains...
Increasing deep-layer large-scale forcing for ascent ahead of the
inland accelerating short wave trough is forecast to begin impacting
the higher terrain and high plains of west Texas and eastern New
Mexico by Friday evening. This will be accompanied by steepening
mid-level lapse rates. Although forecast soundings suggest that the
most substantive moisture return across this region may be of lower
latitude eastern Pacific origin, and based near or above 700 mb, it
appears that thermodynamic profiles will become conducive to
convection capable of producing lightning. And it appears that this
activity will tend to develop northeastward into south central
portions of the Great Plains by 12Z Saturday.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA
THROUGH NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
An isolated strong thunderstorm or two may impact a narrow corridor
across parts of eastern Oklahoma through northern Arkansas and
southern Missouri Saturday afternoon and evening, accompanied by at
least some risk for severe weather.
...Synopsis...
Ongoing amplification within the westerlies across the central into
eastern mid-latitude Pacific appears likely to begin translating
inland across western North America during this period. This is
forecast to include the continuing evolution of deep large-scale
mid-level troughing across the eastern Pacific (generally just west
of the Pacific coast), and building large-scale ridging across the
U.S. Intermountain West and Rockies.
As this occurs, an initially vigorous short wave impulse, to the lee
of the southern Rockies by 12Z Saturday, is forecast to continue an east-northeastward acceleration. However, models indicate at least
some weakening is possible as it progresses into a broadly confluent
regime between low amplitude downstream ridging overspreading the
south Atlantic coast and the western flank of remnant large-scale
troughing shifting east of the Atlantic Seaboard.
It does appear that the perturbation will be accompanied by a
significant surface cyclone emerging from the high plains of
southeastern Colorado. And guidance indicates that this may include
a period with at least some further deepening as it migrates across
the Kansas/Oklahoma border vicinity into the lower Missouri Valley.
In the wake of a recent cold intrusion, boundary-layer moistening
may be underway across much of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by
early Saturday, and continue through the period across much of the
remainder of the Gulf. However, this may still be fairly modest,
with deepest inland boundary-layer moistening confined to southeast
Texas through the lower Mississippi Valley, with surface dew points
in the mid 50s to around 60F.
...Southern Great Plains into Ohio Valley...
Potential for thunderstorm activity is expected to initially be in
association with elevated moisture return (of lower latitude eastern
Pacific origin) and destabilization, supported by strong large-scale
forcing for ascent downstream of the progressive short wave trough.
Lower/mid tropospheric warm advection, beneath divergent high-level
flow, may be contributing to this early, across Oklahoma and
adjacent portions of the Great Plains/Ozark Plateau. It appears
that this may diminish during the day, with probabilities for
renewed thunderstorm development becoming focused near the compact
mid-level cold core (including 500 mb temps of -20 to -25 C). This
is expected to spread across parts of the lower Missouri Valley and
Ozark Plateau by Saturday evening. It might not be out of the
question that convection capable of producing lightning could
continue east-northeastward in a corridor along the Ohio River
Saturday night, but this potential becomes more unclear due to model
spread.
The stronger mid-level cooling, to the north of an initially
intense mid-level jet (around 100 kt at 500 mb), appears likely to
spread to the north of the better warm sector boundary-layer
moistening, with warm mid-levels to the south of the jet capping
convective development. However, early day precipitation will
contribute to boundary-layer moistening in advance of the cold pool,
and forecast soundings suggest potential for weak boundary-layer destabilization with some insolation beneath a developing dry slot.
Current model output suggests this is most probable along a corridor
across east central Oklahoma through north central Arkansas/south
central Missouri Saturday afternoon into early Saturday evening.
However, given spread evident among the model output, this axis
could be displaced at least somewhat to the north or south.
Regardless, given the potential for a developing narrow corridor of
at least weak boundary-layer destabilization, vigorous thunderstorm
development appears possible in the presence of strong deep-layer
mean wind fields and vertical shear. It appears that this will
include 50-70 kt southwesterly to westerly flow in the 850-700 mb
layer, which could support a small organized cluster and/or isolated
supercell structure or two, accompanied by the risk for damaging
wind gusts and perhaps an isolated tornado.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
Shortwave trough currently moving into the Four Corners region is
forecast to continue eastward/northeastward today and overnight,
reaching the Mid MS Valley Sunday morning as a mature/stacked
cyclone. An additional shortwave trough is expected to progress
through the base of the larger parent system on Sunday, contributing
to amplification of the eastern CONUS upper troughing as well as
secondary surface cyclogenesis over the southern Appalachians and
Carolina Piedmont.
Secondary surface low resulting from this cyclogenesis will likely
move northeastward across central SC and eastern NC, progressing
along the stationary front separating the residual cold air damming
across the Mid-Atlantic from the warm and moist airmass across the
Southeast. A cold front attendant to the surface low will move
quickly eastward/southeastward across the Southeast and much of FL.
Upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints are anticipated ahead of the
front across southern GA, eastern SC, and northern FL, but abundant
cloud cover and poor lapse rates will temper overall buoyancy.
Additionally, surface winds will likely veer ahead of the front,
limiting low-level convergence. These limiting factors will be
countered somewhat by strong deep-layer shear, and robust storm or
two is not out of the question. Even so, the overall marginal severe
potential combined with these limiting factors precludes the need to
introduce any severe probabilities with this outlook. Severe
probabilities may be needed in later outlooks if confidence in
greater buoyancy and storm coverage increases.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
A mature mid-latitude cyclone over the Midwest Sunday morning will
be reinforced by a shortwave trough ejecting eastward from the
southern Plains/Ozarks vicinity. This will result in a deepening
trough over the Southeast as the system as a whole shifts eastward,
becoming oriented from the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes
vicinity to the eastern Gulf of Mexico by Monday morning. At the
surface, low pressure over the lower Ohio Valley will shift east
toward the central Appalachians, while secondary cyclogenesis occurs
over the NC/SC Piedmont. A cold front will extend from southern IN southwestward into central LA Sunday morning. Southerly low level
flow ahead of the front will transport mid 50s to low 60s dewpoints
across much of the Southeast, and as far north as the NC/SC coastal
Plain. However, strong cold air damming will limit northward extent
of higher surface dewpoints, with low-to-mid 60s dewpoints remaining
confined to southern GA and parts of FL.
While strong deep layer flow will overlap with increasing moisture
ahead of the front, instability will remain meager due to poor
midlevel lapse rates and abundant cloud cover resulting in poor
surface heating. Additionally, most guidance is showing veering low
level flow, resulting in weak frontal convergence. While a strong
storm or two cannot be ruled out from northern FL northward through
the SC/NC coastal vicinity, the overall severe threat appears too
low to include probabilities at this time.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across southern Florida on
Monday. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
An amplified upper pattern, consisting of an eastern trough and
western ridge, is forecast to be in place across the CONUS early
Monday morning. This overall pattern is expected to shift eastward
throughout the period, placing the upper trough along the East Coast
and the upper ridge from the Southwest into the Canadian Prairie
Provinces. A low-amplitude shortwave trough is also expected to move
quickly across the Pacific Northwest, preceding a deeper trough
expected to extend from British Columbia into the northeast Pacific
Ocean early Tuesday.
Largely stable conditions are anticipated across the CONUS. The only
exception is across a south FL, where an occasional flash may occur
along and ahead of a cold front moving across the peninsula. This
region will also be on the southern edge of the stronger flow aloft, contributing to moderate vertical shear and the low probability
(i.e. less than 5%) potential for a strong downburst or two.

A large-scale upper trough will progress eastward across much of the western/central CONUS on Wednesday. Strong ascent preceding this
feature coupled with modest diurnal heating and cooling mid-level
temperatures should support the development of weak instability
(MUCAPE up to 300 J/kg) Wednesday afternoon across western CO and
vicinity. Even though low-level moisture is expected to remain very
limited, it appears that the modest instability may extend through a
sufficient vertical depth to support charge separation and isolated
lighting flashes. East of the Rockies, an upper ridge is forecast to
move eastward from the Plains and Upper Midwest to the eastern CONUS
through the period. Low-level moisture return across the
southern/central Plains in advance of the approaching upper trough
is expected to remain insufficient to support any meaningful
thunderstorm potential.

A large-scale upper trough over much of the western/central CONUS

sweep quickly east-southeastward across the southern Plains and
lower/mid MS Valley. Modest low-level moisture return, characterized
by surface dewpoints generally in the mid to upper 50s, should occur
through the day across these regions ahead of the cold front.
However, the stronger forcing for ascent preceding the upper trough
will likely remain displaced to the north. In addition, poor
low/mid-level lapse rates and the presence of a low-level inversion
in forecast soundings suggest that any convection that may develop
along the front through Thursday evening will likely remain shallow,
with little thunderstorm potential evident.

central Florida Sunday morning.
...Central Florida Vicinity...
A shortwave upper trough embedded in larger-scale cyclonically
curved flow over the eastern half of the CONUS will be positioned
from the Mid-South to western FL Sunday morning. A cold front will
extend from the surface low near the Outer Banks of NC southwestward
across northern FL. Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing
at the beginning of the period along/just ahead of the front. Weak
instability, and modest midlevel lapse rates will overlap with
strong effective shear, supporting organized cells. Low level flow
ahead of the front will be veered across the peninsula, resulting in
small, but curved low level hodographs. While hodographs will be
small, 0-1 km shear and SRH will adequately support low level
rotation. A couple of strong to severe storms are possible for a few
hours during the morning as the front sags southward across the
central peninsula, with a brief/weak tornado and/or locally damaging
gust being the main hazards. The upper trough will then pivot
east/northeast of the area and subsidence, along with weakening
shear, will quickly diminish any severe threat with southward
extent.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong storms are possible across central Florida Sunday
morning.
...Synopsis...
Broad cyclonic flow will prevail over the entire U.S. Sunday, as the
main polar vortex consolidates across central Canada. At the
leading edge of the associated arctic low-level airmass, a cold
front -- trailing southwestward from a low progged to lie near the
North Carolina Outer Banks early Sunday morning -- will move
steadily southeastward across Florida. As an associated short-wave
trough embedded in the broader cyclonic flow aloft shifts off the
mid-Atlantic coast and into the northwestern Atlantic, the surface
front will weaken steadily over South Florida overnight.
...Central Florida...
As a cold front advances southward across central Florida during the
day, combination of a moist pre-frontal boundary layer but weak
lapse rates -- particularly at low levels -- will support only
modest CAPE. As such, ongoing convection is forecast to be largely disorganized. However, with moderately strong low- to mid-level
flow lingering atop the region, a stronger storm or two cannot be
ruled out during the morning hours. Any stronger storm would be
accompanied by some potential for a locally strong gust or two, or
possibly even a brief tornado. However, any risk should further
diminish into the afternoon, as flow slackens and the parent upper
system shifts northeastward off the middle Atlantic coast.

A broad upper trough will envelop most of the CONUS on Monday.
Embedded within larger-scale flow, a shortwave trough will eject
eastward from the southern Rockies/northern Mexico to the Southeast.
As the shortwave ejects into the southern Plains, the low level mass
response will result in strong warm advection and increasing
low/midlevel south/southwesterly flow across the Gulf of
Mexico/southeastern U.S. A stalled boundary extending from southern
FL westward across the central Gulf will retreat northward as a warm
front, becoming positioned near the Gulf coast and northern FL by
Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, a cold front will dive southward across
the southern Plains, extending from southern AR into central TX by
the end of the period.
Instability will remain meager across the Gulf coast vicinity for
much of the period as an antecedent dry airmass will be in place.
However, low and midlevel moisture will increase through the period
in response to strengthening low level south/southwesterly flow.
Showers and a few elevated thunderstorms are possible north of the
warm front in isentropic ascent, mainly Monday evening into the
overnight hours across portions of the Gulf coast vicinity.

Broad, cyclonic flow aloft is forecast to prevail across the entire

At the surface, cold high pressure will reside over roughly the

advection is expected to evolve over the south-central and
southeastern U.S., as a weak short-wave perturbation within the
cyclonic flow field aloft crosses the southern Plains and shifts

In response to weak low-level warm advection, and associated
weakening/retreat of the remnant front over Florida, showers and a
few thunderstorms will persist across the Peninsula and adjacent
offshore waters through the day, spreading northward with time.
Showers and a few/elevated thunderstorms may also develop overnight
over the central Gulf Coast vicinity, in response to the subtle
increase in QG forcing associated with the aforementioned upper
short-wave trough. In all areas, severe storms are not expected.

weak instability.
A few early day storms are expected from the FL Panhandle into
southern GA, beneath zonal flow aloft and with weak lift. Other
thunderstorms are possible from southeast TX into LA into Thursday

boundaries will progress across these states during the day, and
provide a focus for thunderstorms with a moist air mass in place.
...MS/AL/GA...
Showers and scattered thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing near
and north of the cold front Thursday morning, which will extend from
southern LA across MS and into northern AL. Ahead of the front,
models indicate only modest low-level lapse rates developing during
the day. However, SBCAPE in excess of 500 J/kg may develop due to
60s F dewpoints.
Despite the lack of heating, the slow-moving nature of the cold
front may allow for clusters of storms to gain some cold pool
potential. Large-scale ascent associated with the right entrance
region of the upper jet will further aid storm coverage. In terms of
severe potential, low-level wind fields appear marginal for much
downward momentum transfer with 850 mb speeds of 20-30 kt. The lack
of appreciable instability will also limit downdraft potential.
Low-level SRH will be maximized ahead of a weak low and near a warm
front over northern AL and GA, but with only a weak surface trough
and veered 850 mb winds. As such, will maintain less than 5% severe probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH/CENTRAL FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Saturday across
parts of north/central Florida. Occasional damaging wind gusts
should be the main threat, but a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
...Florida...
Broadly cyclonic flow will remain over much of the CONUS on
Saturday, with multiple embedded shortwave troughs progressing
eastward through the period. Convective potential will largely be
relegated to parts of the Southeast, where sufficient moisture
should exist to support isolated to scattered thunderstorms. At the
surface, a front will likely be located over the FL Panhandle and
southern GA Saturday morning. This front should move little through
the day as a weak surface low develops northeastward from the
northern Gulf of Mexico to the western Atlantic. The potential for surface-based storms will largely remain confined to parts of FL
along/south of the front.
Although large-scale forcing appears rather nebulous across the
Southeast, southwesterly mid-level winds are forecast to gradually
increase through Saturday evening in the vicinity of the surface
front as multiple vorticity maxima aloft move northeastward. The
surface boundary will likely focus convective development, with
storm coverage potentially increasing by Saturday afternoon/evening
as a south-southwesterly low-level jet modestly strengthens.
Deep-layer shear of 35-45 kt will support storm organization.
However, poor mid-level lapse rates and only modest boundary-layer
heating will likely temper instability, even as rich low-level
moisture gradually advects northward across the FL Peninsula. Still,
MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg appears probable by peak afternoon
heating across parts of north/central FL. Some storms may be capable
of producing occasional damaging wind gusts if they can organize
into small line segments. 0-1 km SRH around 100 m2/s2 in the
vicinity of the surface front may also support some low-level
rotation and perhaps a brief tornado with any storm that can remain
at least semi-discrete. Regardless, the marginal thermodynamic
environment should keep the overall severe threat fairly isolated.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging gusts and a brief
tornado are possible Saturday across northern and central Florida.
...Northern through central Florida...
Within a broad, cyclonic upper-flow regime over the eastern U.S., a
series of vorticity maxima will move from the northern Gulf through
a portion of the southeast states including north FL. A stationary
front will persist from the northern Gulf, northeastward to along
the GA/FL border. Most high-res guidance indicate a rain-cooled
boundary will develop across northern FL Saturday morning due to
ongoing areas of showers and thunderstorms. There is uncertainty
regarding the placement of this feature with the HRRR suggesting
most of northern FL may not recover during the day. The warm sector
south of the boundary is expected to become moderately unstable with
mid to upper 60s F dewpoints supporting 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, but
with weak mid-level lapse rates. Deeper forcing associated with the northeast-migrating maxima will likely remain in cool sector.
However, a few storms are expected to develop along the rain-cooled
boundary across north or central FL during the afternoon as the
boundary layer destabilizes. While the stronger winds aloft and
vertical shear will reside in the cool sector, at least 30-40 kt
effective bulk shear will support the potential for some storm
organization with locally strong wind gusts the main threat.
Additional strong storms may develop farther south along the sea
breeze.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible Sunday
across parts of the Florida Peninsula. Occasional damaging winds
should be the main threat, although a tornado or two may also occur.
...Florida...
Large-scale upper troughing will dominate the CONUS on Sunday. A
low-amplitude shortwave trough over the Gulf of Mexico at the start
of the period is forecast to move northeastward across parts of the
central Gulf Coast states and the Carolinas by Sunday night. At the
surface, a convectively reinforced boundary will likely remain over
parts of north FL and perhaps far southern GA through the day. A
moist low-level airmass, characterized by generally mid to upper 60s
surface dewpoints, will likely exist to the south of this front
across much of the FL Peninsula.
Some precipitation may be ongoing Sunday morning across parts of
this region in a modest low-level warm advection regime. This casts
uncertainty regarding how much instability will ultimately develop
across the FL Peninsula Sunday afternoon, as greater coverage of
morning convection could limit destabilization. Still, most guidance
suggests that around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop by
Sunday afternoon to the south of the surface boundary, as at least
modest diurnal heating acts on the moist low-level airmass. Both low
and mid-level southwesterly flow are expected to increase through
the day as the shortwave trough overspreads the Southeast. Around
35-45 kt of deep-layer shear should be present over much of the northern/central FL Peninsula, which will support updraft
organization if sufficient destabilization can occur. Small bowing
segments and marginal supercell structures may develop and move
quickly northeastward, with isolated damaging winds probably the
main threat. Modest enhancement to the low-level wind field should
support 0-1 km SRH around 100-150 m2/s2 and perhaps some weak
low-level rotation. Accordingly, a brief tornado or two appears
possible. Even so, poor mid-level lapse rates may tend to limit
updraft strength, and the overall severe threat should remain fairly isolated/marginal.

THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday across a
portion of the Florida Peninsula. Damaging wind appears to be the
main threat, although a tornado or two may also occur.
...The central through northern Florida Peninsula...
A series of low-amplitude shortwave troughs embedded within a broad
cyclonic upper-flow regime will move from the northern Gulf through
northern FL and southern GA. A couple of weak perturbations are
expected to develop along a stationary front that should persist
from the northern Gulf through northern FL.
Surface dewpoints in the mid 60s to near 70F will reside in the warm
sector Sunday. It is likely that areas of showers and thunderstorms
will be ongoing, potentially with a modest severe risk across a part
of northern or central FL. The location of the outflow boundary does
present some uncertainty regarding this forecast and where the best
severe potential will evolve. South of this activity, rich low-level
moisture and surface heating should boost MLCAPE to 1500 J/kg. An
increase in the low-level jet is also expected during the day in
response to the approach of a more pronounced shortwave trough
(currently over northern Mexico). However, this feature will
deamplify as it moves through the northern Gulf region. Additional
storms will likely develop over the northeast Gulf and along the
residual outflow boundary during the day. Vertical wind profiles
with 35-40 kt effective bulk shear will support a few organized
storms with damaging wind the primary threat. Low-level hodograph
size will undergo a modest increase due to the strengthening
low-level jet, and this may support a risk for a couple of
tornadoes, especially with any storms that can interact with
modifying outflow boundaries.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms may impact parts of the Southeast
Monday into Monday night. A few tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and
perhaps some hail all appear possible.
...Southeast...
A longwave upper trough will move eastward from the Plains to the
eastern CONUS on Monday. An embedded shortwave trough is forecast to
advance from the southern Plains across the lower MS Valley and
Southeast through the day, eventually reaching the OH Valley and
Mid-Atlantic by the end of the period. Large-scale ascent associated
with this shortwave trough should encourage a surface low initially
over the north-central Gulf of Mexico to develop northeastward
across the central Gulf Coast states through Monday evening while
gradually deepening. This surface low should continue developing
northeastward across the Carolinas Monday night into early Tuesday
morning. In tandem with the surface low, a warm front is expected to
lift northward across the FL Panhandle, southeastern AL, and
southern GA by Monday evening. A trailing cold front will also sweep
eastward across these regions from late Monday afternoon through
Monday night.
Models have come into better agreement depicting the northward
return of the low-level moisture Monday, with most suggesting that
at least mid 60s surface dewpoints should advect northward in tandem
with the warm front. Although mid-level lapse rates are not expected
to be steep, the combination of increasing low-level moisture and
diurnal heating will likely foster MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg across
the developing warm sector by late Monday afternoon. Both low- and
mid-level flow will likely strengthen through the day as the
shortwave trough approaches. Effective bulk shear of 40-50+ kt will
support supercells. A strong low-level jet should also enhance
effective SRH along/south of the warm front. Confidence has
increased that isolated severe storms may occur across the warm
sector beginning Monday afternoon and continuing through much of the
evening. Given the possibility of supercells in a favorable shear
environment, higher probabilities for both tornadoes and damaging
winds have been introduced across parts of northern FL and southern
GA where confidence in sufficient destabilization is greatest.
Additional storms may congeal along the eastward-moving cold front
Monday evening, potentially posing a continued threat for isolated
damaging wind gusts.
Some guidance suggests that mid 60s surface dewpoints may advance
inland from the western Atlantic across portions of coastal NC/SC
Monday night into early Tuesday morning as a 50-60+ kt low-level jet overspreads this region. If this occurs, weak instability and strong
deep-layer shear may support surface-based storms posing an isolated
threat for damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two. Other
isolated strong to severe storms also appear possible along the cold
front Monday night through the end of the period across much of the
FL Peninsula.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
FLORIDA INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms with a threat for mainly damaging wind
and a few tornadoes may impact a portion of the Southeast Monday
through Monday night.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough now approaching the southern High Plains will
reach the lower MS Valley Monday morning, before continuing through
a portion of the Southeast and southern Appalachians later Monday
afternoon into the overnight. In response to forcing accompanying
this feature, a weak surface low is forecast to develop along the
stationary front over the northern Gulf. This low will move from
just off the central Gulf coast by noon Monday, northeastward
through south/central GA during the evening and into the central
Carolinas Monday night. Trailing cold front will move through
southern GA and northern FL during the evening, reaching the
central/eastern Carolinas overnight. A warm front extending east of
the low will move northward through southern GA and into the eastern
Carolinas.
...Northern Florida through southern Georgia...
Rich low-level moisture will advect northward during the day along a strengthening southerly low-level jet with dewpoints from the upper
60s F in northern FL to mid 60s F in southern GA. This along with
diabatic heating should contribute to moderate instability with
MLCAPE from 1000-1500 J/kg likely. Thunderstorms will be ongoing
within zone of primary forcing along the cold front across the
northern Gulf. This activity will spread northeast through the FL
Panhandle during the afternoon, reaching southern GA by late
afternoon and early evening. Potential will also exist for a few
discrete storms to develop along the pre-frontal warm conveyor belt. Strengthening vertical wind profiles with 40-50 kt effective bulk
shear will be supportive of organized structures including bowing
segments and supercells with damaging wind and a few tornadoes
possible.
...Eastern Carolinas...
A warm sector will spread inland through the eastern Carolinas,
overnight with low-mid 60s F dewpoints possible. Instability in this
region will remain marginal. Nevertheless, storms may develop within
zone of ascent along the warm conveyor belt where vertical wind
profiles will support a conditional risk for supercells and isolated
tornadoes. However, uncertainty still exists regarding whether or
not the boundary layer will destabilize sufficiently to support
surface-based storms, with most activity possibly remaining slightly
elevated. Will maintain MRGL risk category for now and monitor for
possible SLGT risk upgrade in upcoming day 1 outlooks.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Tuesday across
parts of the southern Florida Peninsula, with strong/gusty winds the
main threat.
...Synopsis...
A deep longwave trough will remain in place over the CONUS on
Tuesday. One embedded shortwave trough is forecast to move across
portions of the Mid Atlantic and New England during the day, as an
upstream shortwave amplifies over the southern Plains. A surface low
is forecast to move quickly from the Mid Atlantic into the Canadian
Maritimes by Tuesday night, as an attendant cold front sweeps
through the coastal Carolinas during the morning and through the
remainder of the FL Peninsula by late afternoon.
...Southern FL Peninsula...
The timing from the frontal passage remains somewhat uncertain, but
at least some portion of the southern FL Peninsula will likely
remain ahead of the front through at least the first part of the
day. Large-scale ascent will be negligible with the primary
shortwave trough exiting well to the north, but weak low-level
convergence along the boundary may support widely scattered
thunderstorms from morning into the early afternoon. MLCAPE of
1000-1500 J/kg and effective shear of 20-25 kt may support weakly
organized storms capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts
and small hail.
...Far eastern NC...
Portions of far eastern NC may still be ahead of the primary cold
front at the start of the period Tuesday morning. However,
convection expected over the area late Monday night is expected to
generally move offshore before 12Z, and there currently appears to
be little opportunity for redevelopment along the front before it
moves offshore Tuesday morning. Some lingering severe threat cannot
be ruled out across the Outer Banks at the beginning of the period,
but this potential is too uncertain to introduce probabilities at
this time.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur beginning late Wednesday
afternoon and continuing through the night across portions of the
central Gulf Coast. A couple tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and
perhaps some hail all appear possible.
...Central Gulf Coast...
A large-scale upper trough centered over the High Plains will deepen
on Wednesday as an embedded shortwave impulse pivots east from the
lower CO Valley/northwest Mexico to northeast Mexico and the Rio
Grande Valley in TX. Smaller perturbations will eject across the
central Gulf Coast vicinity during the afternoon and into the
overnight hours ahead of the main upper wave. This will induce weak
surface low/trough development from coastal LA to the western FL
peninsula during the period. Low level southerly flow ahead of this
surface low/trough will allow low-to-mid-60s F dewpoints to encroach
along the immediate coastal vicinity from southeast LA eastward to
southern AL, northern FL and southern GA. The warm front is not
forecast to surge too far north across the region, resulting in a
confined warm sector near the coast.
Midlevel lapse rates will remain poor, but the influx of low level
moisture will allow for weak destabilization across the narrow warm
sector. Elevated thunderstorms will likely increase by mid-afternoon
near the trailing surface cold front across southern LA and
southwest MS. As this line of convection shifts eastward into better
moisture and greater instability during the late afternoon and
evening, the severe threat will increase across southeast LA into
southern MS. Strong low level winds could result in locally damaging
gusts, even in somewhat elevated convection close to the triple
point. Near the immediate coast where surface-based instability is
more likely, large, curved hodographs suggest tornado potential will
exist both within line segments and any semi-discrete cells that
develop. The severe threat will spread eastward toward southern AL
and the western FL Panhandle during the overnight hours, with a
continued threat for isolated damaging gusts and a couple of
tornadoes.

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

FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of
the Southeast on Thursday. A couple tornadoes and isolated damaging
wind gusts will be the main hazards with these storms.
...Southeast vicinity...
A weak surface low near the western FL Peninsula Thursday morning
will drift east/northeast across northern FL/southern GA through the
period. Secondary cyclogenesis will occur offshore from the
Mid-Atlantic beginning late Thursday afternoon. A warm front will
lift northward across southern GA, and just inland from the SC/NC
coast. As the weak low over northern FL shift northeast and stronger cyclogenesis begins offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast, a cold front
will shift east/southeast during the afternoon and evening. The cold
front should move offshore the Carolinas coast by around 00z, and
the GA coast by 06z, before more quickly dropping southeast across
northern FL overnight.
Most convection is expected to be somewhat elevated. This is in part
to an elevated warm layer between the surface and 850 mb, limiting surface-based instability. Additionally, deep layer flow will
largely be parallel to the southeastward-advancing cold front. As a
result, storms could become quickly undercut by the front.
Widespread cloudiness and ongoing showers/thunderstorms will limit
surface heating. As midlevel lapse rates will remain poor, this
ultimately will result in weak destabilization, with MLCAPE values
generally less than 500 J/kg, though some pockets near 750 J/kg are
possible closer to the GA/southern SC coast. While instability will
be limited, strong low level flow will exist, with a 40-50 kt low
level jet in place. Strong shear will help compensate for weaker
instability, resulting in isolated strong-to-severe organized cells
and line segments. A greater relative severe risk may exist near the
warm front, where SRH will be enhanced, leading to somewhat larger
and more curved low level hodographs. However, surface winds will
not be very strong, and convergence along the boundary rather weak.
As a result, the overall tornado threat is somewhat conditional.
While surface winds will be weak, overall strong low/mid level flow
could result in isolated damaging gusts through late afternoon/early
evening.

Organized severe thunderstorms are unlikely on Friday.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough from the upper Great Lakes to the western Gulf of
Mexico will shift east on Friday, moving offshore the Atlantic coast
late in the period. At the surface, strong high pressure centered
over the southern Plains will develop eastward toward the mid-South.
Meanwhile, a cold front draped across northern FL and the eastern
Gulf of Mexico will push southeastward. The front should depart the
southern FL Peninsula and move over the FL Straits overnight. While
forecast guidance indicates mid 60s to low 70s F dewpoints and
temperatures warming into the 70s and 80s ahead of the front, severe
potential is expected to remain low. This is in part due to weak low
level convergence along the front and weak upper forcing.
Furthermore, poor midlevel lapse rates will limit instability, with
MLCAPE to 500 J/kg forecast. The combination of weak forcing and
limited instability should keep thunderstorm activity isolated.
Moderate shear will exist across the area, with 30-40 kt
southwesterly flow around 850-700 mb. This could result in a couple
of briefly strong storms capable of gusty winds, but even any
relatively stronger activity is expected to remain below severe
thresholds.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.,
Sunday through Sunday night.
...Discussion...
Mid/upper ridging is in the process of building across the eastern
mid-latitude Pacific. However, models indicate that ongoing
amplification along a positively-tilted axis, as far northeast as
the British Columbia coast and Canadian Rockies by 12Z Sunday, will
be relatively short lived, with flow across the U.S. remaining
progressive. This will include mid-level troughing, comprised of at
least a couple of smaller scale perturbations, now advancing inland
of the Oregon/northern California coast.
Models suggest that the lead embedded perturbation will become more
prominent by Sunday, east of the Rockies, as it progresses across
the central Great Plains toward the Great Lakes region. It appears
that it may provide support for modest lower/mid-tropospheric
cyclogenesis, with an evolving trailing cold front advancing across
and east of the Mississippi Valley, and southward into the
northwestern Gulf coast region by late Sunday night.
Despite the potentially favorable large-scale forcing for ascent and strengthening wind fields/shear associated with this developing
system, it still appears that destabilization will be hampered by
weak low-level moisture return off a western Gulf of Mexico boundary
layer significantly impacted by the recent cold intrusion. Within
the evolving warm sector, destabilization will be further
complicated by lingering, melting snow cover, and, to the south of
an associated strong southwesterly mid-level jet streak, warm layers
aloft.
Near the deepening mid-level low center, across parts of eastern
Nebraska into western Iowa early Sunday morning, latest NAM forecast
soundings suggest that steepening of mid-level lapse rates and
elevated moisture return might become sufficient to contribute to
thermodynamic profiles marginally conducive to convection capable of
producing lightning. However, based on forecast soundings farther
east, through the remainder of the period, this may be short lived.
Given uncertainties and lingering model discrepancies, thunderstorm probabilities will be maintained at less than 10 percent, at least
for now.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.,
Sunday through Sunday night.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough is forecast to extend from the mid MO Valley
southwestward through the central Rockies and into the Desert
Southwest early Sunday morning. At the same time, the surface low
attendant to this shortwave will likely be centered over
south-central KS/north-central OK. Expectation is for the parent
shortwave to move quickly eastward, ending the period extended from
Lower MI through the mid MS Valley and into the southern Plains. The
surface low is expected to move northeastward just ahead of the
shortwave, ending the period over Lower MI. Some modest deepening of
this low is expected for the first half of the period before it
occludes late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Cold front
associated with this low will sweep eastward/southeastward,
traversing much of the southern Plains and lower/mid MS Valley.
Moderate to strong forcing for ascent will accompanying this
shortwave and attendant surface low/cold front. However, only modest modification of the prevailing arctic air mass has occurred, and
any return moisture remains mostly offshore. As such, scant buoyancy
is expected preclude thunderstorm development.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the
U.S., Monday through Monday night.
...Discussion...
Lowest mid-level heights have retreated to the Arctic latitudes,
and, by 12Z Monday, appear likely to be centered to the north of
Alaska and the Canadian Yukon and Northwest Territories. Much of
North America will remain under the influence of progressive
westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific. This flow may
trend northwesterly across the northeastern Pacific and Gulf of
Alaska into British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, as short
wave ridging builds to the north of a fairly prominent mid-level
high centered over the southern mid-latitude eastern Pacific.
Downstream flow appears likely to maintain more of a westerly
component east of the Rockies into the Atlantic.
Mid-level troughing, comprised of at least a couple of smaller-scale perturbations, within this regime may be accompanied by a modest
surface cyclone migrating across lower Michigan early in the period,
with a trailing cold front advancing east of the Mississippi Valley.
As the troughing continues rapidly eastward, models suggest more
substantive secondary cyclogenesis may initiate across and northeast
of the southern New England coast by Monday evening, with the
trailing cold front strengthening while advancing off the Atlantic
Seaboard.
In the wake of the recent arctic cold intrusion, generally weak
pre-frontal low-level moisture return off the Gulf of Mexico likely
will continue to limit the risk for thunderstorms with this system.
However, models continue to suggest low probabilities for
thunderstorm development Monday, as somewhat better moisture influx
off the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic contributes
to weak destabilization across parts of northern Florida into the
central Florida Peninsula, and near coastal North Carolina. If this
occurs, it appears that it will be focused in the wake/above the
cold front, with negligible risk for severe weather. Primary
thunderstorm development is still expected to be focused in
association with more favorable phasing of low-level destabilization
and forcing for ascent offshore, near the Gulf Stream, Monday night.

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible across southeast Georgia and Florida
Peninsula Monday, as well as the immediate North Carolina coast
Monday afternoon/evening. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.
...Synopsis...
Broad upper troughing is expected to be in place across the central
and eastern CONUS early Monday morning, accompanied by moderate to
strong southwesterly flow aloft and an occluded surface low over
Lower MI. This upper troughing is forecast to advance eastward
throughout the day, with a more progressive embedded shortwave
trough over the OH Valley contributing to more eastward progress
than areas farther south, where the embedded shortwave will be
slower. Even so, this upper trough is not expected to truly
bifurcate and will likely be entirely off the East Coast by early
Tuesday morning.
Surface low attendant to this system will begin the period occluded
over Lower MI and is expected to further occlude throughout the day.
Secondary surface cyclogenesis will likely occur off the
Mid-Atlantic coast as associated cold front moves
eastward/southeastward through the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Another weak surface low may develop over the FL Panhandle Monday
afternoon, at the intersection of the better low-level moisture
return and the cold front. This low is then forecast to move
northeastward across southeast GA and off the GA Coast. A corridor
of relatively stronger forcing for ascent will accompany this low,
but the more favorable low-level moisture will be displaced farther
south across the FL Peninsula. Additionally, abundant cloud cover
will limit heating, contributing to substantial low-level stability.
Farther south across the FL Peninsula, warm temperatures aloft and
displacement from the better forcing for ascent will limit deep
updrafts. However, a few storms may be deep/persistent enough to
produce a few lightning flashes.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT
FROM PARTS OF NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO SOUTHERN
ARKANSAS AND NORTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong thunderstorms may impact a corridor across north
central Texas through the Ark-La-Tex vicinity Thursday night,
accompanied by at least some risk for severe hail.
...Southern Plains into the Lower MS Valley...
A shortwave trough is expected to progress from the Four Corners
region eastward through the southern Plains and into the Lower MS
Valley from early Thursday into early Friday. A dry and stable air
mass will precede this shortwave across the southern Plains, with
much of the favorable low-level moisture remaining confined to the
TX Coastal Plain and western/central Gulf Coast. Even so,
strengthening low-level southerly flow ahead of the shortwave will
contribute to broad and relatively strong isentropic ascent over
much of the southern Plains into the adjacent Lower MS Valley,
resulting in thunderstorm development Thursday night. At the same
time, enhanced mid-level flow attendant to the shortwave will spread
eastward, resulting in modest to strong unidirectional flow above
the low-level stable layer. Modest mid-level lapse rates will limit
overall buoyancy, but a few strong updrafts are still possible.
Given the strong flow aloft, any deep and/or persistent updrafts
will have the potential to rotate, with a corresponding possibility
to produce hail. The cold surface-based layer is expected to remain
deep enough to preclude the risk for severe wind gust and tornadoes.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
ARKLATEX NORTHEASTWARD TO NORTHERN AL/SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong thunderstorms are possible in a corridor across parts
of the northwestern Mississippi Delta region and adjacent
southeastern Arkansas into parts of middle Tennessee Friday,
accompanied by some risk for severe weather.
...Discussion...
Moderate southwesterly low-level flow is expected to ongoing from
the TX Gulf Coast through the Mid-South early Friday morning,
induced by a shortwave trough traversing northern portions of the
southern Plains. A cold front will likely extend from a weak surface
low over East TX southwestward through the TX Hill Country. A
stationary boundary will also extend eastward from this low across
northern LA, central MS, and central AL. The moderate southwesterly
low-level flow atop the shallow air mass demarcated by these
boundaries will result in broad isentropic ascent, with showers and
isolated thunderstorms forecast to be ongoing from the Arklatex into
southwest TN/northwest GA early Friday morning.
Moderate vertical shear will be in place and few strong to
potentially severe storms are possible. Theses stronger storms are
more likely near the stationary boundary, where frontal circulations
could augment the broad isentropic ascent, promoting relatively
stronger updrafts. Additionally, the low-level stable layer near the
boundary will likely be shallow enough for strong downdrafts to
penetrate to the surface.
Storm intensity and coverage with this initial wave of showers and thunderstorms will likely be maximized during the early morning
before the shortwave progresses farther northeastward and becomes
displaced from the better low-level moisture.
Another shortwave is forecast to move quickly through the
southern/central Plains and mid MS Valley in the wake of the first.
As a result, moisture return is expected to continue after the
passage of the first shortwave, with the stationary boundary
becoming an effective warm front. Consensus among the guidance
places low 60s dewpoints from far northeast LA to the AL/TN border
by 12Z Saturday morning. Low-level flow will also increase across
the Mid-South and TN Valley, with the resulting isentropic ascent
contributing to another round of showers and thunderstorms. Most of
this activity will be elevated north of the warm front and overall
buoyancy will be modest. Even so, moderate to strong vertical shear
will be in place. Consequently, a few updrafts may persist long
enough to become better organized and strong enough to produce hail.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN
ARKANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from north-central Texas
across northeast Oklahoma and into western Arkansas Saturday evening
through early Sunday morning.
...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau...
Lead shortwave trough is expected to extend from the Upper Great
Lakes into the central Appalachians early Saturday, before
continuing quickly northeastward in Quebec and off the
Northeast/Mid-Atlantic coast. Active upper pattern will push another
shortwave through the central/southern Plains. Surface cyclogenesis
associated with this second shortwave trough will likely result in a
low over the central High Plains by late morning, with quick
northeastward progression across the central Plains thereafter.
A stalled frontal boundary associated with Friday's system will
likely extend from near the AR/LA/MS border intersection
southwestward into the TX Hill Country. This boundary is then
forecast to begin moving northward as a warm front, supported by the strengthening low-level flow attendant to the approaching shortwave.
By late Saturday afternoon/early Saturday evening, low 60s dewpoints
will likely be near the Red River. Persistent isentropic ascent
throughout this moist warm sector is expected to result in showers
and thunderstorms north of the front across eastern OK/western AR,
beginning Saturday evening.
Convective inhibition associated with a modest residual EML could
temper overall storm coverage, with dry air entrainment also
limiting updraft strength and persistence of those storms that do
develop. However, moderate to strong vertical shear could aid in
updraft organization, somewhat countering the weak buoyancy,
resulting in the low probability for a few stronger, longer-lived
storms. A few of these stronger storms could produce hail.
Additionally, storm development is possible early Sunday morning as
the cold front associated with the previously mentioned surface low
moves across central/eastern OK and northwest/north-central TX. The
EML is expected to persist across the region, with warm and dry
mid-level conditions potentially capping any deep convection along
the front. However, these conditions also foster strong buoyancy if
a storm can develop. Vertical shear over the region will also remain
strong. This result in a conditional risk for severe hail along the
front from eastern OK into north TX early Sunday morning.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
TX TO WESTERN TN...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from northeast Texas into western
Tennessee on Sunday. Damaging gusts will be the main hazard, but
some hail and a couple tornadoes can not be ruled out.
...Arklatex to TN vicinity...
A series of upper shortwave troughs will pivot eastward from the
northern Plains through the upper Great Lakes. Meanwhile another
upper shortwave trough will become cut-off from northern-stream
flow, with a closed low developing over AZ. This upper low will
migrate toward the southern Rockies through 12z Monday. Strong
deep-layer southwesterly flow associated with this upper pattern
will persist over the southern Plains into the Midwest and
Northeast. At the surface, a cold front will extend from central MO southwestward into western north TX Sunday morning. This front will
track southeast through the period, extending from the central
Appalachians to northern LA and south-central TX by Monday morning.
Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints from around 63-68 F will be in
place. Low level convergence will remain poor through the period in
the absence of stronger surface cyclogenesis. Additionally,
widespread cloudiness and ongoing showers/thunderstorms will limit
heating. Modest midlevel lapse rates, greatest over the Arklatex
vicinity, will aid in weak destabilization along/ahead of the cold
front.
There continues to be quite a bit of uncertainty in how much pre-frontal/surface-based convection will develop on Sunday. It is
possible that a majority of convection will be elevated, or quickly
become elevated/undercut by the cold front. This is due in part to
the rather nebulous upper forcing, as well as boundary-parallel
deep-layer flow, coupled with weak directional shear. Forecast
soundings across parts of the Marginal risk area also continue to
show at least weak capping around 850-700 mb. Nevertheless, strong
effective shear and fast storm motion could result in isolated
damaging gusts in line segments near the cold front.
Isolated hail is possible Sunday morning into the afternoon across
parts of the Arklatex where midlevel lapse rates will be steeper,
and MLCAPE greater. While a couple of tornadoes can not be ruled out
across the Marginal risk area, either from a warm sector cell should
one develop, or from mesovortex formation along line segments, this
threat remains very conditional, precluding greater than 2% probs.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible from parts
of Texas into the Ohio Valley on Sunday. Damaging wind gusts should
be the main hazard, but some hail and a couple tornadoes may also
occur.
...Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi and Ohio Valleys...
Multiple mid-level shortwave troughs will move eastward across the
CONUS on Sunday. One such shortwave trough is forecast to advance
from the northern Plains and Upper Midwest to the Great Lakes by
Sunday evening. Another shortwave trough should develop slowly
southeastward from the Great Basin to the Southwest, eventually
closing off over AZ/NM late Sunday night. The primary surface low is
expected to develop northeastward across the Upper Midwest/Great
Lakes and into southern Ontario by Sunday evening, in tandem with
the previously mentioned shortwave trough. A cold front extending
southward from this low should be located over parts of the lower OH
Valley into the Mid-South and southern Plains Sunday morning. This
cold front will shift slowly southeastward through the period across
these regions, and it will likely provide a focus for convection.
A fairly broad swath of enhanced mid-level southwesterly winds
should overlie the frontal zone, but stronger forcing associated
with both shortwave troughs is likely to remain north of the warm
sector. Still, forecast soundings from northeast TX into the lower
MS Valley/Mid-South and continuing into parts of KY indicate a
veering and strengthening wind profile with height through mid
levels. Upwards of 50-60+ kt of effective bulk shear appears likely,
which is clearly sufficient for organized storms, including
supercells. However, two potentially limiting factors remain
apparent. One is the orientation of the front nearly parallel with
the southwesterly mid-level flow. Tendency may be for storms to form
along the front and then get quickly undercut while becoming
elevated. The other limitation may be generally weak low/mid-level
lapse rates and related modest instability. Even so, the presence of
surface dewpoints generally in the 62-68 F range coupled with some
diurnal heating south of the front should support MLCAPE around
250-1000 J/kg by Sunday afternoon.
Current expectations are for mainly elevated storms to be ongoing
across parts of the lower OH Valley Sunday morning in a strong
low-level warm advection regime. Additional convective development
appears likely along much of the length of the cold front by late
Sunday morning or early afternoon. Short bowing line segments may
pose an isolated damaging wind threat as they move
east-northeastward. Even though low-level flow should tend to veer
to southwesterly across much of the warm sector through the day,
enough low-level shear may remain to pose a threat for a couple
tornadoes with either semi-discrete storms or circulations embedded
within the line segments. Eventually, this isolated severe threat
should wane across the lower MS Valley and TN Valley Sunday evening
as storms become mainly elevated behind the front. Finally, some
hail threat may exist with elevated storms both Sunday morning and
Sunday night across parts of TX into the ArkLaTex vicinity.
Mid-level lapse rates should be modestly steepened across this
region in advance of the shortwave trough over the Southwest, and
deep-layer shear will likely be rather strong and uni-directional,
potentially supporting elevated supercells.

An upper low over the southern Rockies will migrate eastward to the
southern Plains on Monday. This will maintain moderate southwesterly

resulting in continued warm advection atop a surface cold front
advancing southeastward across southern and eastern TX to the
southeastern U.S. A pocket of moderately steep midlevel lapse rates
will exist over parts of central to southeastern TX early in the
forecast period, where weak elevated instability will exist to the
cool side of the front. Ongoing elevated thunderstorms could result
in small hail with stronger cells, but this activity should remain
sub-severe and diminish by midday. Further east toward the central
Gulf coast, a capping inversion around 700 mb should limit any warm
sector convection for much of the day. A couple of strong storms
could develop toward 00z as the cold front approaches, but this
activity will quickly become elevated. Poor lapse rates will limit
hail potential and weak low level winds should preclude any stronger
gusts.

A closed upper low over NM will move slowly eastward across the
southern Plains on Monday. A belt of enhanced mid-level
west-southwesterly flow will be maintained over much of the southern
Plains and Southeast through the period, as a separate upper trough
moves eastward from the Great Lakes/OH Valley across the Northeast
and Mid-Atlantic through the period. A surface cold front is
expected to continue moving south-southeastward across TX and much
of the Southeast through the day. A pocket of modestly steepened
mid-level lapse rates and weak elevated instability may persist
Monday morning across parts of coastal/southeast TX to the north of
the surface front. Ongoing elevated storms across this region may
pose a small hail risk, but this activity should diminish by midday.
Towards the central Gulf Coast, very poor mid-level lapse rates will
likely inhibit robust updrafts, but isolated lightning flashes with
convection along or just ahead of the front may occur. These poor
lapse rates, weak low-level winds, and limited instability all
suggest that any gusty wind threat should remain too isolated for
even low severe probabilities.

An upper trough/low is forecast to move eastward from the southern
Plains across the lower MS Valley and Southeast on Tuesday. A belt
of moderate to strong mid-level westerly winds will be maintained
across these regions along and ahead of the upper trough/low.
Low-level warm advection should also occur along the central Gulf
Coast states through much of the period. Elevated thunderstorms may
develop in this regime, with a surface front likely remaining
offshore through at least late Tuesday afternoon. A weak surface low
should eventually develop slightly inland Tuesday evening/night
across the FL Panhandle and southern GA vicinity. A warm front
attendant to the surface low may lift northward across these regions
late Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning. Fairly strong
low/mid-level flow and a veering wind profile with height will
likely be present, but uncertainty remains regarding the degree of destabilization and potential for surface-based storms. At this
point, the forecast low-level moisture still appears a little too
marginal to include low severe probabilities across any part of the
FL Panhandle.

morning will move east and reach southern UT/northern AZ by daybreak
Thursday. Showers and a few weak thunderstorms are forecast over
the eastern Pacific in association with the mid-level cold pocket.
This area of activity will probably move ashore coastal southern CA
during the late morning through mid afternoon as strong large-scale
ascent and modestly steep lapse rates overspread southern coastal
CA.
Farther east, a weakening mid-level shortwave trough will depart the
Carolina coast during the morning. A rain shield is forecast for
coastal SC during the morning within a zone of strong low-level warm
air advection well north of a surface frontal zone. Near and south
of the front, weak instability may enable a low chance for a couple
of thunderstorms over the central portion of the FL Peninsula
primarily during the morning hours before weakening
convergence/upper support diminish by the early afternoon.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE EASTERN
TX PANHANDLE...WESTERN OK...
...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms may be capable of large hail over parts the
Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma on Thursday during the late
afternoon and early evening.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level low will move from the Four Corners to central OK during
the period. A surface low will develop over northwest TX during the
day in response to the approaching upper system. Southerly
low-level flow will advect marginal moisture northward into parts of
western OK/eastern TX Panhandle to the east of a dryline. Surface
dewpoints are forecast in the 45-50 deg F range beneath steepening
700-500 mb lapse rates (around 8-9 deg C/km) as rapid dynamic
mid-level cooling occurs during the late afternoon to early evening.
Models vary a bit regarding moisture quality but it seems plausible
250-750 J/kg MUCAPE will develop during the 22z-03z period coupled
with effective shear 25-35 kt. A few more intense updrafts
(multicellular to weak supercell structure) may be capable of a risk
for large hail before the activity weakens while moving east into
central OK during the late evening.

A mid/upper-level trough initially over OK/TX Friday morning will
weaken as it moves southeastward into the Gulf of Mexico and becomes

during the day as a cool front pushes southeast across TX during the
day and reaches the TX Gulf Coast by mid evening. Isolated, weak
thunderstorms are possible mainly during the morning into the
afternoon from southeast OK into east TX. Weak instability will
likely preclude strong storms from developing. Elsewhere,
stable/dry conditions across a large part of the Lower 48 will lead
to quiescent weather.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms are forecast mainly along the West Coast Tuesday
and Tuesday night. Isolated activity cannot be ruled out over Iowa
and neighboring states Tuesday night.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large upper trough will exist over the western CONUS on Tuesday,
with a strong mid and upper jet nosing across the Four Corners area
late. Cold air aloft on the cyclonic side of this jet will maximize
instability from CA into western OR, with heating providing
steepening lapse rates. Widespread precipitation is expected
throughout the period from western OR southward across the Sierra,
with a few thunderstorms developing during the daytime. Winds will
veer with height, but not be particularly strong. While a weakly
rotating storm or two is possible into the central/northern CA, the
severe threat appears too low to introduce probabilities at this
time due to marginal shear and weak instability.
Elsewhere, a lead shortwave trough will move quickly northeast
across the central Plains and into Mid MO and Upper MS valleys
overnight, with a weak low along the KS/NE border. Warm advection
with a southwesterly low level jet may provide enough moistening for
isolated thunderstorms, however, forecast soundings indicate capping
will be a concern.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN
KANSAS...AND SMALL PARTS OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms producing mainly large hail will be
possible from northern Oklahoma into eastern Kansas and far western
Missouri, Wednesday evening and overnight.
...Synopsis...
As an upper low drops south along the CA Coast, strong southwest
flow aloft will increase from the southwestern states into the
Plains, with a leading low-amplitude wave over the central Plains by
00Z. At the surface, a cold front will extend from southern MN into
northern KS at 00Z, with southwesterly surface winds bringing 50s F
dewpoints north toward the boundary. A dryline will extend from
eastern KS into western OK and west TX at 00Z, with upper 50s F
dewpoints and heating along it.
The primary surface low will move from the MN/IA area at 00Z to Lake
Superior by 12Z Thursday, as the lead wave continues rapidly
northeastward. Lift along the trailing fronts and a moistening air
mass will provide the primary focus for thunderstorms late
Wednesday.
...KS...OK...MO...
A warming, but capped air mass will be maintained during the day
over the Slight Risk area, with a shallow moist boundary layer
depicted by forecast soundings. By around 03Z, lift will increase
along the cold front into northeast KS, and zippering southwestward intersecting along the dryline. A 50-60 kt low-level jet will aid
moisture transport and theta-e advection, with a few strong to
severe storms possible. These storms will mostly be elevated, with
strong deep-layer shear aiding longevity and forward tilt. A strong
wind gust is possible as well with any storms that remain south of
the sagging cold front.
Farther south along the dryline into western OK, a conditional risk
of hail may exist during the late afternoon. Strong heating and
surface convergence may prove sufficient to instigate a cell, but
forecast soundings show capping quickly becomes a concern. Any
threat would likely be short lived, with the better threat farther
north along the KS border during the evening.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...
...SUMMARY...
A threat of mainly hail may exist Thursday from northeast Oklahoma
into southern Illinois. Isolated damaging gusts cannot be ruled out.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large upper trough will exist over the southwestern states with a
broad belt of strong southwesterlies extending across the Plains and
into the MS and OH Valleys. Early in the period, a fast-moving
shortwave trough will move across the upper Great Lakes, with subtle
height rises in its wake.
At the surface, low pressure associated with the lead wave will move
from Lake Superior into Quebec, with a cold front trailing
southwestward across IN, IL, southern MO and OK. Ahead of this
front, mid to upper 50s F dewpoints will be common, with a few lower
60s F possible from the Ozarks southwestward into TX.
Given a degree of warming aloft during the day and the
aforementioned height rises, large-scale support for severe storms
will be minimal. However, strong deep-layer shear will remain
situated along the length of the slow-moving cold front, and at
least 250-500 J/kg MUCAPE is forecast as lapse rates aloft will
remain sufficiently steep. Low-level profiles may remain somewhat
stable or marginally buoyant per forecast soundings, but even
elevated storms will have the potential to produce marginal hail.
Given the strength of the deep-layer shear, and marginally unstable boundary-layer, isolated damaging gusts cannot be ruled out with any fast-moving cells.
Areas of storms may be ongoing early in the day from MO into IL and
IN, with hail threat. Further development is possible near the
boundary and extending southwestward through afternoon, and into the
evening as warm advection persists atop the surface layer.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TEXAS
SOUTH PLAINS INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are possible Friday and Friday night across parts of
west Texas, far eastern New Mexico and into western Oklahoma.
Isolated hail is possible in surrounding states from southern Kansas
into southwest Missouri.
...Synopsis...
A strong upper trough will move slowly eastward across the
Southwest, with the upper low near the Four Corners by 12Z Saturday.
An intense cyclonically curved midlevel jet streak will also move
across AZ and NM, with height falls increasing into west TX late in
the period. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will exist over the Gulf of
Mexico.
At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will extend roughly along
I-40, from TX across OK and into TN with 50s and 60s F dewpoints to
the south. There is model uncertainty regarding the position of this
boundary and therefore SBCAPE and tornado/wind potential. Low
pressure will develop ahead of the upper trough, over NM during the
day and toward the TX border by 12Z Saturday when a cold front will
take shape. While sporadic strong storms are expected during the day
from OK into KS and MO, the primary severe risk will occur after 03Z
across eastern NM and west TX.
...Southern Plains...
An extensive band of rain and thunderstorms is expected to be
ongoing Friday morning in the warm advection regime, with isolated
hail possible from northern OK into southern KS and extending east
into southern MO and northern AR.
It is uncertain how much additional activity will form, if any,
during the afternoon for the remainder of central OK into northwest
TX. While moist and unstable, a capping inversion will exist with
little in the way of lift. However, will maintain low probabilities
for this conditional risk.
The main threat of severe storms will be after 03Z ahead of the
approaching upper trough and cold front. Storms are expected to form
over far eastern NM and into western TX where low-level moisture
backs westward toward the surface trough. While some capping is
likely due to time of day, this cap will be surmountable given the
forcing for ascent. Shear profiles will favor supercells, producing
large hail and perhaps a tornado where capping is least problematic. Fast-moving storms may also produce isolated wind damage.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS AN AREA
CENTERED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION...
...SUMMARY...
A couple of severe storms may affect a portion of the lower
Mississippi Valley area, centered on the Delta region on Sunday.
Locally damaging wind gusts and possibly a tornado or two may occur,
mainly during the evening hours.
...Synopsis...
A large upper low is forecast to be exiting the Rockies and moving
slowly into the central Plains Sunday, as a second low -- initially
crossing the eastern Pacific -- digs southeastward to coastal
northern California late. Meanwhile, troughing over the Northeast
will shift eastward with time, across the Canadian Maritimes and
western Atlantic.
At the surface, a weakening Pacific front -- initially crossing
eastern portions of the southern Plains -- will move eastward toward
the lower Mississippi Valley. A weak wave may develop along the
front over Arkansas during the late afternoon/early evening, and
move eastward to near Memphis through early Monday morning.
...Lower Mississippi Valley region and vicinity...
A near-frontal band of rain showers is forecast to advance across
eastern portions of Oklahoma and Texas through the day Sunday, as
the weakening Pacific front advances. Limited instability suggests
only local/occasional lighting for the most part, into the afternoon
hours.
As modest heating contributes to some boundary-layer destabilization
and eventually very weak surface-based CAPE across roughly the
eastern half of Arkansas by late afternoon, a few stronger
convective cells may evolve. This zone of somewhat more robust
convection will then shift across the Mississippi Delta region
through the region, and eventually portions of western Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi.
Though minimal CAPE will very likely be a limiting factor,
deep-layer shear (both speed and directional shear) suggests that
any updraft which could take root within a locally/slightly more
unstable environment ahead of the front would likely acquire
rotation. Locally damaging wind gusts would be possible, along with
a tornado or two. Otherwise, a few stronger updrafts within the
frontal band of convection may be capable of locally gusty/damaging
winds, or a brief QLCS-type tornado. Risk -- though very
local/limited -- may persist through the end of the period.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN
ARKANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the lower
Mississippi Valley Sunday through Sunday night, mainly late in the
afternoon and evening across parts of central and southeastern
Arkansas, where they may pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and a
couple of tornadoes.
...Synopsis...
Within a southern branch of split westerlies emanating from the
mid-latitude Pacific, it appears that a broad mid-level low,
currently centered to the west/southwest of the Four Corners, will
remain progressive through this period. Surrounding troughing is
forecast to remain in phase with a belt of westerlies emanating from
the subtropical Pacific, and models indicate that a significant
upstream mid-latitude short wave trough will dig into the Pacific
coast region by 12Z Wednesday. As a couple of vigorous smaller
scale perturbations pivot around its eastern through northern, and
southern through eastern, periphery, the center of the closed low is
forecast to redevelop northeast of the southern Rockies into the
central Great Plains Sunday through Sunday night. This will occur
to the south of ridging within the northern branch, in the wake of a
vigorous northern branch short wave trough forecast to dig across
the northern Atlantic Seaboard.
In response to these developments, cold surface ridging likely will
be reinforced across much of the northern Great Plains, Upper
Midwest and Great Lakes region through the northern and middle
Atlantic Seaboard, while warmer but dry conditions persist across
the Southeast and eastern Gulf of Mexico in association with
lingering surface ridging. Across southern portions of the Great
Plains, it appears that an occluding surface low center, initially
over western Kansas, will migrate northwestward and weaken, while
another low center forms to its southwest and migrates east
northeast of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle region.
Models indicate that a Pacific front trailing the occluding low
center will surge east of the southern Great Plains during the day
Sunday, but weaken while doing so. As it does, it appears that a
relatively narrow moist, warm sector will generally become confined
to portions of Louisiana into Arkansas by peak afternoon heating,
before shifting across the lower Mississippi Valley overnight.
...Lower Mississippi Valley...
Forecast soundings indicate only weak to modest boundary-layer
warming within the moistening warm sector, beneath relatively warm
mid-level layers which probably will limit peak mixed-layer CAPE to
around 500 J/kg or less. However, in the presence of strong
deep-layer shear, the environment probably will become at least
conditionally supportive of strong to severe thunderstorm
development.
In association with the perturbation pivoting around the southern
through eastern periphery of the southern branch mid-level low,
models continue to suggest that an area of lower pressure or a weak
frontal wave could become a focus for strengthening large-scale
ascent across southwestern through northeastern Arkansas late Sunday
afternoon and evening. This may be accompanied by southerly 850 mb
jet strengthening from 30-50 kt, which could contribute to low-level
hodographs supportive of supercell structures posing a risk for
damaging wind gusts and/or a couple of tornadoes. Initially, storm
development may be largely discrete in nature before perhaps
evolving into a broken line while spreading eastward across the
lower Mississippi Valley overnight.

...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.

Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
...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.

Severe weather is not anticipated over the U.S. on Saturday
...Synopsis...
A dry, continental air mass will be in place across much of the
central and eastern CONUS early Saturday morning. Some modification
is anticipated along the southern and western periphery of this air
mass as southerly low-level flow increases ahead of an upper trough
traversing the western CONUS. However, low-level moisture will
remain well removed from the forcing for ascent associated with this
upper trough, and no thunderstorms are expected across the central
and eastern CONUS.
Showers and a few isolated thunderstorms are possible within the
frontal band attendant to the western CONUS upper trough as it moves
from the northern Great Basin into the central Rockies. A few deeper
convective cores may also develop within the persistent forcing for
ascent in the wake of the lead frontal band. Steep mid-level lapse
rates throughout the region will contribute to modest instability
and the potential for a few storms to become deep enough for
lightning production.

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are not expected over the U.S. on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough over the western U.S. will develop southward,
forming a closed low over the Four Corners region by Monday morning.
As the trough develops southward, it will merge stronger southern
stream flow near the international border/northwest Mexico and
moderate southwesterly flow will overspread the southern
Rockies/High Plains vicinity by the end of the period. In response
to strong height falls, a surface low is forecast to develop over
eastern NM and shift eastward into the TX Panhandle overnight, while
a weak cold front drops southward through the central Plains. Modest
low level moisture, with surface dewpoints mainly in the 40s, will
exist ahead of the surface low/front across much of TX/OK/KS,
precluding much in the way of surface-based instability.
Nevertheless, steepening midlevel lapse rates as the upper trough
ejects eastward will support weak elevated instability. As a result,
a few elevated thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the
southern Plains late Sunday night into early Monday morning.

A few thunderstorms are expected late Sunday centered over the

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.

...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.

(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.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large-scale upper trough over the eastern CONUS will move to the
western Atlantic on Friday. In its wake, upper ridging will prevail
across much of the western and central states. At the surface, high
pressure will dominate the majority of the CONUS. A weak shortwave
trough should move slowly eastward across the Southwest through the

during the afternoon, with additional convection possible for parts
of the southern High Plains Friday evening and overnight. Low-level
moisture is expected to remain very limited across these areas.

A weak mid-level trough initially near the NM/TX/Mexico border will
move east-southeast and weaken as it nears the lower Rio Grande

will reside across the southern High Plains atop lower 40s to lower
50s F dewpoints. Weak instability will maximize during the late
afternoon and isolated thunderstorms are possible from southeast NM
to the Edwards Plateau. Isolated thunderstorms may continue into
the overnight into parts of the TX Hill Country and Rio Grande
Valley. Storm organization is not expected largely due to weak
instability.
Elsewhere, mid-level ridging will lead to quiet conditions for
thunderstorms across the remaining contiguous United States.

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast across the
contiguous United States on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
A flattened mid-level ridge will be centered over the central Great
Plains into the Upper Midwest ahead of an amplifying mid-level
trough over the Pacific Northwest. In the low levels, a broad area
of low pressure will develop over the northern Great Plains to the
southeast of a southward-moving cold front over the northern
Rockies/northern High Plains. Southerly flow will advect upper 40s
dewpoints into parts of NE. Although strong heating and a well
mixed boundary layer will weaken the cap by late afternoon, little
in the way of forcing for ascent will greatly limit thunderstorm
coverage if convective initiation occurs. The possibility for
isolated elevated thunderstorms or a small thunderstorm cluster will
extend from parts of NE northeastward into the Upper Midwest
primarily during the evening into the overnight. This activity will
probably remain disorganized despite very steep 700-500 mb lapse
rates via an elevated mixed layer.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast on Sunday.
...Synopsis...
A low-amplitude mid/upper ridge centered over the northern/central
Plains will slowly shift eastward toward the Midwest/upper Great
Lakes vicinity by Monday morning. This will occur as a shortwave
upper trough develops southeastward across the Pacific
Northwest/northern Rockies vicinity. At the surface, broad low
pressure/lee trough will develop over portions of the
northern/central High Plains while strong high pressure persists
over the southeastern U.S.
Southerly low level flow will allow mid 40s to low 50s surface
dewpoints to spread northward beneath the upper ridge into portions
of the mid/lower MO Valley and central/southern Plains vicinity.
Very steep midlevel lapse rate will spread eastward into the
central/northern Plains vicinity, resulting in weak MLCAPE during
the afternoon and evening. However, weak forcing and a capping
inversion will likely limit convective development for much of the
day. By evening, weak height falls and a developing low over NE may
be sufficient for isolated high-based thunderstorm development from
far southeast CO/western KS/eastern NE. This activity is expected to
remain unorganized and sub-severe, though may continue into the
overnight hours into parts of IA/southern MN/southwest WI.
Additional thunderstorms could develop during peak heating closer to
higher terrain into northeast NM and near the Davis Mountains in
southwest TX. This activity will be diurnally driven and should
dissipate quickly with sunset.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
the upper Mississippi Valley and parts of northwest Texas on Monday.
...Synopsis...
In the mid to upper levels, a disturbance will glance the Upper
Midwest as it moves east from Saskatchewan to western Ontario to the
north of a flattened mid-level ridge over the MS Valley. Farther
west, a potent mid-level trough will move southeast from the Pacific
Northwest to the eastern Great Basin/central Rockies. In the low
levels, a broad area of low pressure centered over SD with a southward-extending lee trough will consolidate to a developing
surface cyclone along the KS/CO border by Monday night as a cold
front pushes southward over the Upper Midwest and northern Great
Plains.
...Upper MS Valley...
Model guidance is beginning to converge on a scenario of
thunderstorm development initially beginning during the afternoon
(perhaps over northeast SD or west-central MN) as a cold front
pushes southeast. Relatively cool mid-level temperatures coupled
with low to mid 50s F dewpoints are yielding around 2000 J/kg
MLCAPE. A cluster of thunderstorms will probably evolve near the
front during the late afternoon/early evening and move
east-southeast during the overnight hours. Isolated large
hail/damaging gusts are the primary hazards before this activity
weakens as it moves beyond the instability axis.
...TX Panhandle/South Plains...
Strong heating is forecast on Monday as the western edge of low 50s
deg F dewpoints contributing to 1000-2000 J/kg SBCAPE by peak
heating. Models are indicating appreciable CINH remaining,
especially in areas slightly east and removed from the dryline.
However, a more deeply mixed boundary layer is expected to develop
farther west on the Caprock escarpment with localized erosion of the
remaining cap and convective initiation a possibility. Although
coarser deterministic models are void of a precip signal thus far,
recent convection allowing models are showing a couple of storms
(potentially a supercell or two) developing within a zone of 700 mb
moistening by the EC model with good run-to-run consistency. The
localized severe risk will likely diminish by 02 UTC as CINH
increases.
...Southeast ID into northern UT...
Increasing large-scale forcing for ascent during the afternoon will
likely lead to convective showers and isolated thunderstorms
developing near the southeastward-moving cold front. Despite
relatively low moisture content, very steep low to mid-level lapse
rates coupled with strong frontal forcing will probably result in
localized strong gusts near convection. If instability appears
marginally higher, a 5-percent wind risk may be introduced in later
outlook cycles.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI AND MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEYS AS WELL AS
NORTHWEST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
the upper Mississippi Valley into Nebraska, and parts of northwest
Texas on Monday.
...Synopsis...
A compact upper shortwave trough over the Canadian Prairie provinces
and international border vicinity will develop eastward to western
Ontario and the upper Great Lakes by Tuesday morning. A second upper
shortwave trough will dig south/southeast from the Pacific Northwest
into the Great Basin/northern Rockies. At the surface, a broad area
of low pressure/surface troughing will develop from MN southwestward
through eastern SD/NE and western KS, while a dryline extends
southwestward across the OK/TX Panhandle and eastern NM vicinity.
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected along the surface
trough/cold front by late afternoon across parts of MN/SD/NE, some
of which could be strong to severe. A more conditional severe threat
is possible near the dryline across parts of northwest TX.
...Upper Midwest/Central Plains vicinity...
Southerly low level flow will transport 50s F surface dewpoints
northward across the mid/upper MS and MO Valley vicinity ahead of
the southeastward advancing cold front. Strong CINH will preclude
thunderstorm development for much of the day. However, strong
heating will result in a well-mixed boundary layer and eroding cap
by peak heating. 50s F dewpoints beneath steep midlevel lapse rates
will contribute to 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE amid 30-40 kt effective
shear. As upper forcing increases with the approach of the shortwave
trough in tandem with low level frontal forcing, thunderstorms are
expected to develop by late afternoon from north-central MN into
eastern SD. Low level flow below 700 mb will remain rather weak, and
while an isolated supercell is possible, convection will likely
develop into clusters or line segments along the cold front. Locally
strong gusts and hail will be the main concern with this activity as
it shifts east/southeast into western WI/northern IA during the
evening.
A more conditional severe threat will develop southwestward along
the surface trough/cold front into parts of central/eastern NE.
Forcing will be much weaker here, and a stronger cap will be in
place. Nevertheless, a couple of high-based and/or elevated
supercells could develop during peak heating as inhibition becomes
weaker. Very steep lapse rates will contribute to 2000-2500 MLCAPE
amid supercell wind profiles. A storm or two could produce isolated
large hail and perhaps locally strong downburst winds for a short
time during the late afternoon/early evening.
...Northwest TX...
A conditional threat for a severe storm or two will exist near the
dryline during the late afternoon/early evening. Low level moisture
will remain unimpressive, with dewpoints generally from the upper
40s to low 50s. However, steep midlevel lapse rates will promote
MLCAPE values as high as 1500 J/kg amid supercell wind profiles.
Considerable CINH will prevent convective development across much of
the region, but strong heating resulting in a well-mixed boundary
layer could result in a narrow corridor along the dryline where a
storm or two could develop. Isolated large hail and strong wind
gusts could accompany any organized storm that develops in this
corridor.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible portions of the central and
eastern Kansas Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Hail and strong
gusts will be the main hazards associated with this activity.
...Synopsis...
A compact upper low and its attendant trough will shift east from
the Great Basin to the central/southern Plains on Tuesday. A surface
low will deepen over western KS and the OK/TX Panhandle vicinity
through the first half of the forecast period. This area of low
pressure will become more elongated overnight from mid-MO Valley
into the southern Plains as a cold front shifts east/southeast
across the central/southern Plains.
...Central/Southern Plains vicinity...
Strong CINH will preclude thunderstorm initiation through late
afternoon. As the surface low deepens and the upper low begins to
eject eastward, moderate southerly low level flow will transport
mid-50s to low 60s dewpoints northward across the southern/central
Plains and mid-MO/mid-upper MS Valleys. A dryline will extend
southward from the surface low to the OK/TX border and then
southwestward into southwest TX. While strong heating is forecast
near the dryline across TX, a stout cap is expected to remain in
place and little development along the dryline is expected. More
likely, convective initiation will occur during the late
afternoon/early evening closer to the surface low as a cold front
drops southeastward and overtakes the dryline across west-central
KS. Continued low level moistening beneath steep 700-500 mb lapse
rates will result in 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE amid effective shear
greater than 30 kt. Organized clusters and line segments along the east/southeastward advancing cold front will mainly pose a threat
for large hail and perhaps locally damaging gusts. Convection may
remain somewhat elevated, and forecast soundings are persistent in
maintaining at least weak near-surface CINH. This should temper the
tornado threat, despite favorable low level shear/enlarged 0-3km
hodographs.
Further north across the mid-MO Valley vicinity, instability will be
weaker. However, clusters of thunderstorms could produce near-severe
hail and gusty winds.
...Delmarva/Chesapeake Vicinity...
Moderate northwesterly deep layer flow is forecast across the region
as a strong upper low moves offshore the Northeast coast and an
upper ridge slides slowly eastward across the Midwest. Surface
dewpoints are forecast to increase into the upper 40s and low 50s
beneath modest midlevel lapse rates, resulting in weak instability
during the afternoon and evening. Furthermore, forecast soundings
show a well-mixed boundary layer developing as temperatures warm
into the 70s. While severe storms are not expected given weak
instability, a couple of convective showers and/or storms could
produce locally strong gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A PORTION
OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across the lower
Mississippi Valley with other isolated severe storms possible
farther north over the middle Mississippi Valley.
...Lower Mississippi Valley region...
Shortwave trough now moving through the central Rockies will
continue east southeast through the southern Plains and lower to mid
MS Valley Wednesday. Partially modified Gulf Air with low to mid 60s
F dewpoints will advect northward along a strengthening southerly
low-level jet, contributing to a corridor of 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE.
Widespread low clouds are expected in the warm sector which will
limit boundary layer destabilization to some degree. Thunderstorms
are expected to develop by mid day along and just ahead of a Pacific
cold front accompanying the shortwave trough from central MO
southward through AR and northeast TX. Mixed storm modes are
expected, and vertical wind profiles with 50+ kt effective bulk
shear will support the potential for organized storms with both line
segments and some supercell structures. Hodograph size will increase
as the low-level jet strengthens with up to 300 m2/s2 storm relative
helicity supportive of low-level mesocyclones and potential for a
few tornadoes, especially across the lower MS Valley during the
afternoon and early evening. However, the degree and extent of the
tornado threat will depend on whether or not sufficient boundary
layer destabilization can occur given likelihood of widespread low
clouds in warms sector where forecast soundings exhibit poor
low-level lapse rates. Some severe threat, mainly in the form of
damaging wind will continue into the overnight across a portion of
the lower MS Valley. An enhanced risk for severe storms might be
introduced for a portion of this region in day 1 updates.
...Middle MS Valley...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely continue through the
morning across parts of MO/IA and thereby limit greater instability
from developing over the area. However, a rejuvenation to storms is
expected during the afternoon near the surface low and possibly
farther east ahead of residual decaying convection near the MS
River. Uncertainty largely related to instability will seemingly
limit the overall severe threat. Nonetheless, weak instability
coupled with deep-layer shear sufficient for organized thunderstorms
will conditionally support a marginal severe risk for storms during
the day. Activity will likely weaken by the early evening.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...NORTHEASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...NORTHERN LOUISIANA...CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF WESTERN ALABAMA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the southeastern
Great Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf
Coast States Friday through Friday night. This may include the
development of one or two organized thunderstorm clusters, with the
potential to produce swaths of damaging wind gusts. Large, damaging
hail and a couple of tornadoes are also possible.
...Synopsis...
A deep mid-level low over the middle Missouri Valley is already in
the process of migrating northeast of the lower Missouri Valley.
This should continue through Friday and Friday night, as blocking
remains prominent downstream within the downstream flow, and another
vigorous upstream short wave (emerging from the northern
mid-latitude Pacific), continues inland, across the Rockies into the
Plains.
The lead impulse and associated surface cyclone are forecast to
continue to weaken, while migrating across and northeast of the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region by late Friday night. The cold
front trailing the cyclone currently curves from the Upper Midwest
through the lower Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, and is already
becoming increasingly diffuse. As this continues, models suggest
considerable boundary-layer moistening will occur into and through
this period across a broad area of the southeastern Great Plains and
lower Mississippi Valley. It appears that this will coincide with
the northeastward advection of elevated mixed-layer air, on the
southwestern periphery of the departing mid-level troughing, and
ahead of a perturbation emerging from the southern mid-latitude or
subtropical eastern Pacific.
Models indicate that this southern perturbation will accelerate
across Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley by late Friday night,
within west-northwesterly to westerly flow in advance of the digging
short wave of northern mid-latitude Pacific origin. It appears that
associated forcing for ascent will contribute to new surface
cyclogenesis across the southern Great Plains into the lower
Mississippi Valley/Mid South vicinity by 12Z Saturday.
...Southeastern Great Plains into central Gulf States...
While there appears reasonable model consensus on the general
large-scale pattern evolution, considerable spread does exist
concerning the synoptic and, particularly, the sub-synoptic
developments for this period. Given moistening low-levels in the
presence of steepening mid-level lapse rates, it does appear that
substantial mixed-layer CAPE could develop Friday, in the presence
of strong vertical shear. This provides support for the risk of
severe storm development, though the extent, focus/details remain
unclear at the present time. Based on the latest guidance, there
does appear potential for the evolution of multiple clusters of
severe storms Friday and Friday night, with isolated to widely
scattered discrete supercell development also possible.
There does appear a consistent signal in the model output that
large-scale ascent along a strengthening mid-level baroclinic zone
may provide support for increasing thunderstorm development across
the Ark-La-Tex vicinity through southern Arkansas by mid day Friday.
As the boundary-layer destabilizes, there appears potential for
this activity to evolve into an intensifying and organizing
mesoscale convection system which will tend to advect/propagate
eastward across the north central Mississippi/Alabama vicinity
before weakening Friday evening.
The approach of the southern mid-latitude/subtropical Pacific
impulse may contribute to renewed thunderstorm development upstream,
along the trailing convective outflow, by Friday evening. This may
evolve into another organizing cluster of severe storms, which will
probably tend to develop east-southeastward across the lower
Mississippi Valley through early Saturday.
Given the steep mid-level lapse rates, sizable CAPE and strong
shear, stronger initial storm development may be accompanied by the
risk for large, damaging hail, before activity grows upscale with
damaging wind gusts becoming the more prominent hazard, along with
the possibility of a few tornadoes.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
FLORIDA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday
across parts of the eastern Florida Panhandle and the Florida
Peninsula.
...Synopsis...
An upper low over the Midwest and its attendant trough extending
southeastward through the southeast U.S. will pivot northeast on
Sunday. The upper low will become oriented over the lower Great
Lakes by Monday morning, while the associated trough extends along
the Mid-Atlantic coast and offshore the southeastern U.S. coast.
This should maintain moderate west/southwesterly flow from the Mid-Atlantic/central Appalachians southward through Florida for much
of the period. A surface low stacked beneath the upper low over the
Great Lakes will not move much, but instead weaken through the
period. A cold front will extend from western PA along the
Appalachians and into southeast AL and then just offshore from
south-central LA. While the southern most segment of the front will
stall along the central Gulf coast, much of the front should shift
eastward, moving offshore the Mid-Atlantic cost and into northern
Florida by Monday morning.
A mature MCS/QLCS is forecast to be ongoing across parts of northern
Florida Sunday morning. Some severe threat could persist with this
system as it tracks southeastward across the Florida Peninsula
through the day.
...Florida...
Most guidance has a mature MCS/QLCS over northern FL at the
beginning of the period, and the evolution of the severe threat on
Sunday will depend on where exactly this activity is located during
the morning, and specifically how far south any outflow may develop
early in the period. This could impact how much CINH exists and how
much recovery can occur through peak heating. Nevertheless, mid to
upper 60s dewpoints will be in place, and at least weak
destabilization should occur amid 35-45 kt effective shear. This
should be sufficient to support at least a low-end threat for
locally damaging gusts and hail.
...Delmarva into parts of eastern PA...
Modest low level moisture is expected to extend northward into the
Chesapeake vicinity, with mid 50s to near 60 F surface dewpoints
forecast. Stronger forcing closer to the surface and upper lows,
along with a better-defined cold front surging eastward should
provide focus of isolated thunderstorm development during the
afternoon. Instability is currently forecast to remain weak,
generally less than 1000 J/kg, along with modest vertical shear.
Midlevel lapse rates near 7 C/km and a deeply mixed boundary layer
resulting in steep low level lapse rates also will overspread the
region. Some locally gusty winds or small hail could accompany any
stronger cells. However, weak low level winds and overall modest thermodynamic/kinematic environment will preclude severe
probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE CENTRAL
FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday across the
central Florida Peninsula and isolated strong to severe storms are
possible in portions of the Mid-Atlantic.
...Synopsis...
An upper low will move from the Ohio Valley to the Great Lakes on
Sunday. At the surface, a cyclone will occlude through the day as it
moves from northern Illinois to southern Ontario through the period.
At the beginning of the period, an occluded front will extend from
the surface low in northern Illinois to western Pennsylvania. A cold
front will extend from this occluded front southward to the Gulf
Coast States.
...Florida...
An MCS should be ongoing at the beginning of the period from the
Florida Panhandle into the northeastern Gulf as a result of
increasing isentropic ascent from a strengthening low-level jet.
This activity is expected to mature during the morning hours as it
moves into the central Florida peninsula. Extensive cloud cover will
likely limit surface heating, but temperatures in the low 70s and
dewpoints in the upper 60s should be adequate for moderate
instability, especially given the moderate mid-level lapse rates.
The greatest severe threat will likely be during the morning hours
when the most intense convection is expected to be oriented
north/south as it crosses central Florida. Through time, the
convection is expected to become parallel to the deep-layer flow and
thus the outflow is likely to outrun the convection to the south.
This may limit the overall severe threat by mid to late afternoon as
the MCS sags south across the Peninsula. Damaging wind gusts will be
the primary hazard with this activity.
...Mid-Atlantic...
Modest low-level moisture is expected to surge northward ahead of a
cold front which will move through the Mid-Atlantic through the day.
This cold front will serve as the primary focus for isolated to
scattered strong to severe storm development during the afternoon
and evening hours on Sunday. Moderate MLCAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg
is expected across the Carolinas into Virginia ahead of this storm
activity Sunday afternoon. Farther north, instability is expected to
be weaker but sufficient for a marginal damaging wind threat.
Effective shear of 35 to 45 knots across the warm sector will aid in
storm organization as it moves east-northeastward with damaging
winds as the primary threat. Large hail will be a greater threat
from Maryland southward where greater instability is forecast.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast on Monday.
...Synopsis...
A pair of upper level lows will migrate eastward across the Upper
Midwest/Great Lakes and Northeast/Mid-Atlantic vicinity on Monday. Low-amplitude westerly flow will otherwise spread across the
south-central and southeastern states while a shortwave trough
develops southward across the Pacific Northwest. At the surface,
high pressure will develop southward across the Plains, with a cold
front dropping south/southeast across TX and the Lower MS Valley.
Isolated showers and elevated thunderstorms could accompany the cold
front, but overall severe potential appears low.
...Western TX/Middle Rio Grande vicinity...
While mid to upper 60s F surface dewpoints will be in place ahead of
the aforementioned cold front across TX and the Sabine Valley,
considerable inhibition will limit severe potential. Some guidance
suggests a conditional threat for an isolated strong to severe storm
could develop near the Rio Grande in the vicinity of Del Rio, during
the late afternoon/evening in moist upslope flow. However,
confidence in this scenario is low with quite a bit of variability
among forecast guidance. The overall limited nature of the threat in
both space and time precludes Marginal risk probabilities at this
time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY....
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in the Texas Hill Country
on Monday with a threat for large hail and severe wind gusts.
...Synopsis...
A few areas of mid-level low pressure will be present across the
northern Plains and Great Lakes Monday morning. These low pressure
areas will shift eastward/southeastward through the day. A strong
mid-level jet will dive southward along the West Coast through the
day Monday and act to amplify the western CONUS trough. In addition,
a weak shortwave is expected to eject from this broader trough
Monday afternoon across portions of Texas. At the surface, a cold
front will sink southward across Texas through the day. Some severe
storms may form on this cold front Monday afternoon/evening with a
threat for large hail and severe wind.
...Texas Hill Country...
Low-level flow off the Gulf of Mexico will transport moisture
northwestward Monday morning and afternoon. Surface dewpoints are
expected to increase to the low to mid 60s by mid to late afternoon
with temperatures in the low to mid 80s. This will likely result in
2000+ MLCAPE ahead of a southward moving cold front. A weak
shortwave/height falls aloft combined with convergence along this
front may provide enough forcing for a few strong to severe storms
Monday afternoon/evening. Moderate to strong instability combined
with around 50 knots of effective shear will provide an environment
favorable for supercells with the potential for large hail and
damaging winds. The southward sagging nature of the cold front could
undercut the storms and limit storm longevity, especially on the
northern portions of the marginal risk, but steep mid-level lapse
rates would still support elevated convection and a hail threat.
Additional storms may form in an upslope regime near Del Rio and
move off the terrain for a few hours in the evening before
encountering a capped airmass with eastern extent. Questionable
storm coverage is the primary mitigating factor to a higher risk
category at this time, but if more storms appear likely (such as
suggested by the 12Z HRRR and NSSL WRF), a slight risk may be
warranted in later outlooks.

LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA AND ADJACENT
PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE....SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN
NORTH CAROLINA...
CORRECTED GRAPHIC DISCREPANCY IN GULF COASTAL VICINITY
...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms may impact western and central portions of the
Gulf coastal plain, as well as southern portions of the Mid Atlantic
Coast states, accompanied by at least some risk for severe weather
Wednesday into Wednesday night.
...Synopsis...
Models suggest that a blocking mid-level high will continue to
develop and become more prominent during this period, centered
across British Columbia. This will contribute to the maintenance of
a split flow across much of North America into the western Atlantic,
with several broad, embedded cyclonic circulations likely to
persist.
At mid-levels, there may be little movement to one of these lows
centered across the Great Basin, to the southeast of the building
high. In response to a short wave trough digging across the
Canadian Prairies, to the east of the high, a downstream low may
slowly shift southeast of the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes
region, with some southeastward development of another low also
possible across the western Atlantic. To the south and southwest of
the eastern perturbations, models indicate that there may be some
suppression of mid-level subtropical ridging, with flow tending to
veer from westerly to west-northwesterly across the north central
through eastern Gulf coast vicinity.
Initially progressing into or approaching the Appalachians and Mid
South/Ozark Plateau vicinity by 12Z Wednesday, a cold front is
forecast to advance into the Southeast and through the lower
Mississippi Valley/northwestern Gulf coast region by the end of the
period. There has already been a preceding southward surge of
colder air through much of central and southwest Texas, which likely
will be reinforced. A preceding convectively generated or enhanced
surface boundary appears likely to persist across parts of the upper
Texas coastal plain and southern Louisiana into the north central
Gulf of Mexico.
...Gulf coastal plain...
The most substantive boundary-layer destabilization Wednesday is
expected to be confined to pre-cold frontal areas along and to the
southwest of the convective boundary. Although smaller scale
developments remain unclear due to model spread, which could impact
the magnitude of this destabilization, it appears that low/mid-level
warm advection along and north of the convective boundary could
contribute to thunderstorm development across the upper Texas
coastal plain into southern Louisiana by early Wednesday. It
appears that this will occur ahead of a weak perturbation migrating
around the periphery of the subtropical ridging, and could coincide
with increasing boundary-layer destabilization.
Depending upon the timing, it is possible that increasing inflow of
moderately large CAPE (in excess of 1000 J/kg), in the presence of
modestly sheared 30-40 kt westerly to northwesterly mean flow, could
become conducive to the evolution of an organized cluster of storms
which could pose a risk for severe hail and wind. As this activity
tends to propagate offshore, an upstream perturbation may contribute
similar storm development near the trailing outflow and cold front intersection, near upper Texas coastal areas later Wednesday
afternoon or evening.
...Southern Mid Atlantic Coast region...
Models suggest that the warm sector of a weak developing surface
low, along the front to the east of the southern Appalachians, could
become conducive to vigorous thunderstorm development late Wednesday
afternoon and evening. Although boundary-layer moisture might be
fairly modest, deep boundary-layer mixing, in the presence of
strengthening vertical shear, might contribute an environment
supportive of thunderstorms capable of producing small hail and
potentially damaging surface gusts.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms are possible from west-central
Texas eastward along the central Gulf Coast. Locally strong gusts
and hail will be the main hazards with this activity.
...Synopsis...
Satellite imagery currently shows two well-defined upper lows, one
over the western Great Basin and the other over the Upper Great
Lakes. Expectation is for these lows to gradually move eastward
today, beginning the Day 2 Period (i.e. 12Z Thursday) centered over
the central Great Basin and southwestern Quebec. Surface low
associated with the eastern upper low will likely be centered just
off the Mid-Atlantic coast early Thursday, with an associated cold
front extending southwestward from this low through another low off
the MS/AL coast and into South Texas. Central and eastern portions
of this front will likely remain progressive throughout the day
before stalling Thursday evening. In contrast, the western portion
of the front over the western Gulf and south TX will likely remain
stationary throughout the day before returning northward as a warm
front Thursday evening through Friday morning.
...Central Gulf Coast through FL Panhandle/Northern FL...
This is some uncertainty regarding the position of the cold front
early Thursday morning, particularly given the expectation for
augmentation of this boundary by storm outflow. Even so, modest
warm-air advection is anticipated across this boundary, contributing
to scattered thunderstorms from southern LA into the western FL
Panhandle early Thursday morning. Steep mid-level lapse rates will
exist over the region, as will moderate westerly flow aloft.
Resulting combination of vertical shear and buoyancy could result in
a few stronger storms capable of hail and/or damaging downburst
winds. Elevated storm character should preclude any tornado threat.
Surface-based storms are possible along the front Thursday afternoon
as it traverses the northern FL Peninsula. Warm temperatures aloft
and resulting convective inhibition will likely temper updraft
strength within most storms. However, vertical shear will remain
strong enough to support rotation/organization of a few updrafts,
with large hail and/or damaging gusts possible with these more
robust embedded storms.
...West-Central TX to the Middle/Upper TX Coast...
A stalled frontal boundary will likely be in place from just off the
southeast TX coast back westward through South TX, eventually
intersecting lee troughing off the higher terrain of the southern
High Plains and northeast Mexico. Deepening of this lee troughing is anticipated throughout the day, with surface southeasterly winds
strengthening in tandem. More southerly low-level flow will also
increase at the same time. Resulting increase in isentropic ascent
will augment the ascent attendant to a subtle shortwave through
expected to move across TX. All of these factors will contribute to
showers and thunderstorms across much of the southern Plains. Given
the steep lapse rates and strong deep-layer vertical shear, a few
stronger storms are possible, with large hail as the primary severe
risk.
Guidance is beginning to hint at a corridor of modestly higher
severe potential, from central TX into southeast TX, where storms
may begin to encounter slightly higher dewpoints and the northward
moving warm front. However, uncertainty regarding frontal position
and storm timing remains too high to delineate higher probabilities
within this corridor with this forecast.
Lastly, conditional risk of supercells capable of large hail exists
near the Del Rio vicinity with any storms that can develop over the
higher terrain of northeast Mexico and then move eastward.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST THROUGH SOUTHERN GEORGIA/NORTHERN FL..AND
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms appear possible Saturday across
parts of the central Gulf Coast into southern Georgia. A few
instances of large hail may also occur Saturday morning across deep
south Texas.
...Synopsis...
Upper trough with a strong positive tilt is forecast to stretch from
the Upper Midwest through central CA early Saturday morning.
Moderate mid-level flow will stretch from the southern Plains
through the Southeast and into the Mid-Atlantic throughout period,
reinforced by several shortwave trough embedded within the larger
parent upper trough. All of these shortwaves will be displaced north
or west of the better low-level moisture, with the exception of a
progressive, low-amplitude shortwave which may move through the
southern Plains and Lower MS Valley Saturday afternoon through early
Sunday morning.
At the surface, a low will likely be centered off the southeast
TX/southwest LA coast with a cold front extending from it back
southwestward over the far northwest Gulf. A stationary front is
also expected to extend eastward from the low through the northern
FL Peninsula. The surface low is forecast to progress eastward along
this stationary boundary throughout the day, ending the period
centered just off the SC Coast.
...Central Gulf Coast to the FL Panhandle/northern FL Peninsula...
Showers and thunderstorms are anticipated throughout the day over
the central Gulf Coast as isentropic ascent persists across the
stationary front. This isentropic ascent will be augmented in the
late afternoon and evening by lift attendant to the progressive,
low-amplitude shortwave trough mentioned in the synopsis. Mid-level
lapse rates will be relatively weak, limiting overall buoyancy, but
mid-level flow will remain strong, contributing to enough vertical
shear for isolated strong to severe storms. Primary threat will be
hail, although a damaging wind gust or two may be able to penetrate
the relatively shallow low-level stability. The eastward moving
surface low could also provide an area of localized mesoscale ascent
and the potential for a few stronger updrafts.
Farther east across central/eastern FL Panhandle and the northern FL
Peninsula, storms may form closer to the stationary front during the
afternoon and evening. Instability will also be slightly higher in
this area due to the likelihood of a bit more heating. Consequently,
the increased potential for surface-based (or near-surface-based)
storms suggests damaging wind gusts will be in the primary threat.
Isolated hail and perhaps even a brief tornado are also possible.
...Deep South Texas...
A cold front will be progressing quickly southward across deep south
TX Saturday morning. Low-level upslope flow over the mountains of
adjacent northern Mexico may encourage a couple of elevated
supercells to form and cross into this region early Saturday
morning. Even though boundary-layer instability will
quickly decrease behind the front, enough low-level moisture and
modestly steepened mid-level lapse rates should still support around
1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE. This instability coupled with strong shear
aloft may foster isolated large hail with any supercell that can
persist for a few hours. Storms should weaken by mid morning as the
elevated instability diminishes.

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

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

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday
across parts of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. Hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats.
...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
A surface front is forecast to overlie the central FL Peninsula on
Monday. This boundary should advance slowly southward through the
day. Convection will probably be ongoing Monday morning along and
north of the front. Even though large-scale forcing is expected to
remain nebulous, sufficient low-level convergence along the front
should provide a focus for additional surface-based storm
development by Monday afternoon. This appears most probable across
parts of the central/southern FL Peninsula, where upper 60s to low
70s surface dewpoints should be in place. The rich low-level
moisture coupled with diurnal heating and cool mid-level
temperatures (around -10C at 500 mb) should support MLCAPE reaching
about 1500-2000 J/kg Monday afternoon.
The stronger flow associated with a belt of enhanced mid-level west-southwesterly winds should remain mostly to the north of the
surface front. Still, about 30-40 kt of mid-level winds should
overlap the front and warm sector, which will provide enough
deep-layer shear to support some updraft organization. Isolated
large hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats with
any storms that can form along/south of the boundary across the central/southern FL Peninsula through the day. Weak convergence
along the front with generally parallel flow aloft will probably
limit overall storm coverage, and the severe threat should remain
fairly isolated.
...Eastern North Carolina and Far Southeastern Virginia...
Isolated to scattered storms may form by late Monday morning across
this region as a shortwave trough moves eastward across the
Mid-Atlantic. Low-level moisture ahead of this feature will likely
remain fairly limited, with surface dewpoints generally in the 50s.
If enough boundary-layer instability can develop ahead of the
storms, then strong/gusty downdraft winds might occur. However,
there is currently too much uncertainty regarding the degree of
low-level moisture and sufficient destabilization to include low
severe probabilities.

SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FL PENINSULA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday
across parts of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. Hail and strong/gusty winds should be the main threats.
...Synopsis...
A pair of mid-level vorticity maxima, located over the Ozarks and
lower MO Valley midday Sunday, will transition to a single mid-level
trough and move from the southern Appalachians to the western
Atlantic during the day-2 period. A weak surface low in response to
the mid-level disturbance, will move from eastern NC east into the
western Atlantic. An attendant cold front will push southward
across the northern part of the FL Peninsula before stalling
overnight near the I-4 corridor.
Strong to severe thunderstorm potential will be relegated to parts
of the FL Peninsula during the day. Early day widely scattered showers/thunderstorms are possible, especially near the Tampa Bay
vicinity and eventually spreading east across the Peninsula.
Gradual destabilization will occur across the central part of the
Peninsula with heating/near 70 deg surface dewpoints contributing to
moderate instability. Seasonably strong 850-700 mb flow (35-40 kt)
may aid in a few multicells and/or clusters being capable of a
localized threat for wind damage. The strongest cores could yield a
hail risk as well. This activity will weaken by early evening as
instability diminishes.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms appear possible tomorrow/Tuesday
across portions of the central and southern Florida Peninsula. A
couple of damaging gusts and perhaps some hail are the main threats,
though a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
...Synopsis...
Broad mid-level cyclonic flow will prevail across much of the
central and eastern U.S. tomorrow, as a surface cold front sags
southeastward across the central Florida Peninsula. Thunderstorms
are expected to be ongoing at the start of the period (12Z Tuesday)
ahead of the front, with storms becoming more widespread with
diurnal heating. A few of the storms may be strong to potentially
severe.
Elsewhere across the CONUS, a well-defined upper trough will
progress across the Midwest. A lightning flash or two may also
accompany relatively shallower convection in this region, supported
by sfc-600 mb boundary-layer mixing across the central/northern
Plains during the day. However, coverage appears too limited to
warrant thunder probabilities. Farther west, a mid-level disturbance
propagates southeast along the West Coast. A couple thunderstorms
may occur during the day across northern California in tandem with
the intensification of a surface low.
...Central Florida Peninsula...
A weak, embedded mid-level impulse will overspread the pre-frontal
airmass across the central FL peninsula, encouraging the development
of modest 850 mb flow during the mid to late morning hours.
Increased thunderstorm development is expected during the day in an
environment characterized by up to 1500 J/kg MLCAPE, driven
primarily by upper 60s F dewpoints and 6.5 C/km mid-level lapse
rates. Modest low-level hodograph curvature, and associated 150
m2/s2 effective SRH, may contribute to multicellular or transient
supercellular development. Damaging gusts and perhaps a couple of
marginally severe hailstones may accompany the stronger storms.
Given the modest low-level shear, a tornado cannot be ruled out with
a longer-lived transient supercell structure.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION AND SURROUNDING AREAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong storms capable of producing gusty/damaging winds
will be possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into southern New
York on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
As one area of upper troughing evolves across the western U.S. from
the Intermountain region to California, a second trough will
progress eastward across the eastern U.S. through the period.
At the surface, a weak system associated with the western upper
troughing will move across southern Nevada/southern California into
the Four Corners states. In the East, a cold front progged to lie
roughly along the Appalachian crest at the start of the period will
move quickly eastward, clearing most of the East Coast by evening
with the exception of eastern Maine, and Florida. In the wake of
the front, cold high pressure will expand across the central and
eastern U.S. through the period.
...The Mid Atlantic region and vicinity...
Convective development is forecast to occur in lee of the
Appalachian crest relatively early in the period, from eastern PA
southward across central VA. Only modest instability (at or below
500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE) is expected ahead of the advancing front,
with storms to remain relatively low-topped across the region.
Still, with linear forcing along the front, and fairly strong west-southwesterly flow through the cloud-bearing layer, a few
stronger -- possibly damaging -- wind gusts may occur within what
should evolve into a semi-continuous band/line of convection. This
convection should move off the Mid Atlantic Coast and into southern
New England by late afternoon, weakening as it crosses MA/CT/RI and
vicinity through the evening.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the United States on
Thursday.
...Discussion...
As an upper low over the eastern U.S. shifts eastward/northeastward
into the western Atlantic/Canadian Maritime provinces, a trough
consisting of phased northern- and southern-stream components is
progged to advance across the West/Intermountain Region.
As the upper system advances, cool air aloft/steepening lapse rates
will support scattered showers, as well as some embedded lightning
-- particularly during the diurnal peak heating period. Lightning
may occur over portions of the Northwest/Continental Divide area,
and also across portions of the Four Corners states.
Overnight, warm advection is expected to increase across the central/south-central states, as a low-level jet strengthens ahead
of the advancing upper trough. However, dry mid-level air atop
moistening low levels would generally imply that convective
development will remain unlikely through the end of the period
across the area. Near the very end of the period, convective
potential may increase in the vicinity of the Arklatex, and so a
conditional thunder area is being maintained there. Otherwise,
storm development is not expected through the end of the period.
Elsewhere, showers and a thunderstorm or two may occur over south
Florida and the Keys, mainly from afternoon onward.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS EASTWARD TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected Friday into
Friday night from parts of the southern Plains into the lower
Mississippi Valley/central Gulf Coast states. Large to very large
hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes all appear possible.
...Synopsis...
As broad cyclonic flow around a Canadian Maritimes upper low
gradually departs from the Northeast, the primary feature of
interest will be a short-wave trough moving out of the Intermountain
West into/across the Plains states. With time, the southern portion
of this trough -- advancing more quickly than farther north -- will
cross the Ozarks/Arklatex and then the lower Mississippi Valley
overnight, resulting in a gradually more negative tilt to the
larger-scale trough.
At the surface, a low is progged to reside over the southern High
Plains/in lee of the southern Rockies. As the upper trough
advances, surface low pressure will shift eastward in a loosely
defined manner, while a dryline mixes eastward into central Texas
during the day and a warm frontal zone extends eastward into the
central Gulf Coast states. By the end of the period, a cool front
will be sweeping across Texas in the wake of the primary surface low
expected to reside in the vicinity of the Arklatex by 24/12z.
...Southern Plains to the central Gulf Coast states...
A somewhat complex convective scenario is apparent Friday, as upper
troughing moves into/across the south-central U.S., along with an
associated weak/rather ill-defined surface pattern.
As the upper trough advances, and a surface high shifts eastward
into the western Atlantic, increasing southerly low-level flow into
the south-central states will advect Gulf moisture northward beneath
steep lapse rates aloft overspreading the southern Plains through
the day. As a dryline mixes quickly eastward into central Texas
during the first half of the period, large-scale ascent and an
increasingly favorable thermodynamic environment should support
central Texas storm development. Strong/veering winds with height
across the area suggests that storms will quickly acquire rotation.
While CAMs may be a bit early and aggressive initially, with respect
to storm coverage, isolated supercells -- accompanied by a risk for
very large hail during the afternoon -- will likely congeal into a
cluster of more numerous storms, moving eastward across northeastern
Texas/the Arklatex region by late afternoon/early evening.
Meanwhile, a second area of convective development is expected
farther north, from northwest Texas and eastern portions of the
Texas Panhandle area east-northeastward across northern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas into Missouri, near a secondary low and its
associated/weak warm front. A drier boundary layer across this area
-- and thus correspondingly lesser CAPE -- should limit severe risk
a bit. However, large hail -- particularly over the northwestern
Texas and Oklahoma portions of the area -- remains apparent.
By evening, as convection congeals across the Arklatex area, risk
for damaging winds will likely become a bit more widespread. CAMs
suggest that this storm cluster -- aided by very favorable shear --
could organize into at least a loosely organized bowing MCS during
the evening, which would shift eastward across the lower Mississippi
Valley and later the central Gulf Coast states overnight, along a
warm frontal zone. While somewhat limited low-level moisture -- and
thus possibly a very weakly stable boundary layer -- is expected,
risk for at least locally damaging winds is apparent, particularly
if convection organizes in an upscale manner as anticipated.
Additionally, an intensifying southerly low-level jet implying
strong warm advection may support a gradual increase in cellular --
and likely rotating -- convection ahead of the main cluster of
storms. Given the presence of the warm front, and increasingly
favorable veering/increasing of the low-level flow field with
height, risk for a couple of tornadoes also remains apparent, given
what should be a not-prohibitively-stable boundary layer in the
vicinity of, and to the south of, the warm front.
While CAMs suggest that a fairly well-organized bowing convective
line may be shifting across Alabama late in the period, a slightly
more stable boundary layer may preclude more widespread wind risk,
and thus an eastward expansion of the SLGT risk area will not be
initiated at this time.

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

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Florida Peninsula as
well as southern portions of the Pacific Northwest. No severe
thunderstorms are currently forecast.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough is forecast to extend across the Mid-Atlantic
States early Sunday morning before quickly progressing offshore.
Low-amplitude, predominantly zonal mid-level flow will persist
across the central and eastern CONUS in the wake of this lead wave
for most of the period. Upper ridging will then begin building early
Monday morning across the central CONUS, ahead of a deepening upper
trough supported by a pair of embedded shortwaves.
At the surface, a low center just off the Delmarva Peninsula early
Sunday is expected to continue northeastward as its attendant front
pushes slowly southward across FL. Warm and moist conditions across
FL will support isolated thunderstorms along this front as it moves
down the peninsula.
A lightning flash or two is possible across southeast SD and
adjacent southwest/south-central MN early Sunday but coverage is
expected to be less than 10 percent. Isolated thunderstorms are also
possible over central/southern OR and portions of northern CA. In
this area, ascent and cool mid-level temperatures attendant to a
shortwave trough moving into the western Great Basin could result in
isolated lightning flashes.

...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 ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from across parts of Oklahoma
southward into the Texas Hill Country on Wednesday. Large hail,
damaging gusts and a few tornadoes will be possible with these
storms. Isolated strong storms also are possible across parts of the
middle Mississippi Valley to western New York.
...Synopsis...
A southern stream upper shortwave trough moving across northern
Mexico and the southern Rockies into the adjacent High Plains will
phase with a deepening northern stream upper shortwave trough over
the upper/mid-MS Valley on Wednesday. This will result in band of
enhanced southwesterly flow from the southern Plains into the
Midwest and lower Great Lakes vicinity. At the surface, a broad warm
sector will be in place ahead of a cold front shifting southeast
across the mid-MS/lower-OH Valley, and a dryline extending southward
near the OK/TX border into western TX. Mid/upper 60s dewpoints will
exist from the southern Plains into the mid-MS/lower OH Valley with
more modest dewpoints in the upper 50s to low 60s further
east/northeast toward western PA/NY. Some areas may see a few rounds
of thunderstorms (some strong), but a more focus severe threat is
expected to develop across parts of the southern Plains during the afternoon/evening.
...Southern Plains...
Clusters of thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing Wednesday morning
from parts of MO into OK and possibly TX. This activity should
develop northeastward through the morning and allow for some airmass
recovery across southwest OK into northwest TX. Forecast guidance
continues to vary with regards to the exact position and strength of
a surface low in the vicinity of northwest TX. Nevertheless, the low
and dryline/cold front should serve as a focus for afternoon
thunderstorm development. Midlevel lapse rates will be modest, but
sufficient and rich boundary layer moisture will further contribute
to MLCAPE around 1500-2000 J/kg amid supercell wind profiles. Large
hail and damaging winds will therefore be possible with this
activity. Furthermore, backed low level winds in the vicinity of the
triple point will result in a local maximum in tornado potential.
Further south, stronger heating is expected along the dryline across
western TX. Convection is expected to develop in a deeply-mixed
boundary layer over the higher terrain of Mexico and shift eastward
across the Rio Grande into the Texas Hill Country during the
afternoon/evening. Elongated hodographs appear favorable for
supercells capable of producing very large hail (some greater than
2.5 inches in diameter). Additionally temperature-dewpoint spreads
of around 20-25 degrees and somewhat higher-based convection could
promote stronger downdrafts and damaging winds also appear likely.
...Southeast MO/Lower OH Valley...
Forecast guidance continues to be uncertain regarding severe
potential across this area. Morning convection will likely have some
influence over how much destabilization occurs across parts of
southern MO. Furthermore, poor midlevel lapse rates will hinder
greater instability and storm organization. Nevertheless, 30-40 kt
midlevel southwesterly flow will exist over the region, with at
least some backed southerly winds ahead of the front and weak
instability. Some guidance suggests some forward-propagating
clusters could develop and result in some locally strong wind gust
potential. However, deep layer flow mostly parallel to the cold
front also could result in storms becoming undercut by outflows or
the front itself. Nevertheless, a narrow corridor of conditional
severe potential may exist from parts of southeast MO/far northwest
AR into western KY where strong gusts and perhaps a tornado could
occur.
...OH into western NY...
Strong west/southwesterly flow will overspread modest boundary layer
moisture amid midlevel lapse rates around 7 C/km. Ample surface
heating will result in steepening low level lapse rates by early
afternoon as thunderstorms develop. Moderate shear and MLCAPE values
around 1000-1500 J/kg should support a few strong cells capable of
strong gusts and perhaps some hail.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
EASTERN TEXAS INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND MID-ATLANTIC VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from East Texas
across the Mid-South and the Ohio Valley, and into the northern
Chesapeake Bay vicinity on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A progressive northern stream upper shortwave trough will track from
the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes to the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic on
Thursday. This will maintain a belt of strong west/southwesterly
flow across much of the Midwest/Mid-South to Mid-Atlantic vicinity.
Further to the southwest, an upper low in southern stream flow over
northern Mexico will only slowly drift eastward toward the TX Big
Bend vicinity. Another branch of enhanced southwesterly flow related
to this system will overspread TX into the lower MS Valley/Mid-South
vicinity. At the surface, a seasonally moist boundary layer will
exist ahead of a east/southeastward-advancing cold front. The front
will extend from northern OH toward south-central MO, then
southwestward into central TX during the morning. By Friday morning,
the cold front will move offshore the Northeast coast, arcing
southwestward from far southeast VA into central MS/AL into eastern
TX.
...Mid-South to Mid-Atlantic...
Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across portions of
the region near the cold front at the beginning of the period.
Abundant cloud cover will also exist downstream. As a result,
destabilization will remain limited, with less than 500 J/kg MLCAPE
expected. Nevertheless, strong deep layer flow, with 35-45 kt west/southwesterly winds between 850-700 mb will aid in some loosely
organized convection. The main concern with this activity will be
locally strong wind gusts through early evening.
...East TX into the TN Valley Vicinity...
Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing Thursday morning and will
limit severe potential at least initially. By peak heating, most
guidance indicates some airmass recovery and stronger
destabilization further south ahead of the cold front where stronger
heating is expected. Surface dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s will aid
in MLCAPE values around 750-1500 J/kg. Low level winds will remain
light, but effective shear will be sufficient for isolated strong
storms. Locally strong gusts and marginal hail will be possible with
this activity during the afternoon/evening.

TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
A few strong to severe storms are possible over south Texas Friday
afternoon into Friday night. Hail and locally strong winds will be
the main threats.
...South Texas...
A cold front is expected to stall just off the south TX coast by
early Friday before retreating inland during the late afternoon into
the evening. Rich low-level moisture with low 70s F dewpoints will
advect into a portion of south Texas as this boundary moves inland,
but modest lapse rates will limit MLCAPE to below 1500 J/kg in warm
sector. Farther west on the cool side of this boundary, MUCAPE up to
1500 J/kg will be possible. A closed upper low will move slowly east
through northern Mexico and west TX during the period, while a
series of vorticity maxima rotate through this feature and into
south through southwest TX. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
likely be in progress in the cool sector, and additional storms will
likely develop during the day, modulated by the series of
northeast-moving impulses. Storms originating over northern Mexico
may spread northeast through parts of southwest and south TX during
the afternoon. Most of this activity will be elevated above the
frontal zone, but sufficient effective shear will be present to
support mid-level updraft rotation and hail. Other storms are
expected to develop during the evening and overnight along the front
across south TX. While low-level winds are expected to remain modest
in warm sector, effective bulk shear from 40-50 kt will support the
potential for some storms to develop mid-level rotation with a few
instances of hail and locally strong wind gusts the main threats.
The expected marginal thermodynamic environment including weak
mid-level lapse rates will probably remain a limiting factor for
hail size and overall severe threat.

...Texas through western Louisiana...
Closed upper low currently over northern Mexico is forecast to
become an open wave and move northeast through TX Saturday. A series
of vorticity maxima rotating through this feature will move
northeast through central and eastern TX during the period. A warm
front will likely extend from a weak surface low near the south TX
coast eastward into the northern Gulf by 12Z Saturday and will move
north during the day allowing a moist warm sector to spread inland
through east TX into southern LA. It is likely that a fairly large
MCS will be ongoing within corridor of stronger isentropic ascent
from the TX coast northward into a portion of eastern TX. This
activity will spread northeast during the day and gradually weaken.
Another area or thunderstorms is expected farther west near the Big
Bend area of southwest TX in association with ascent accompanying
the upper low circulation. Widespread clouds and the areas of rain
will limit destabilization potential and complicates current
forecast. However, it is possible that a corridor of modest
destabilization could occur across a portion of central TX in wake
of the eastern TX MCS and in advance of storms moving northeast out
of southwest TX. This activity will remain generally north of the
stronger winds aloft, but effective bulk shear and low-level
hodograph size in proximity to the low-level jet may still be
sufficient for transient supercell and bowing structures. This
activity will spread northeast, posing a severe threat for eastern
TX during the evening into the overnight. An upgrade to SLGT risk
might be required in day 1 updates, if it becomes apparent that
instability will become supportive of a more robust threat.
...Great Lakes region...
Have removed MRGL risk for this area due to expectation of limited
low-level moisture/instability and weak forcing in wake of early
impulse.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
LOUISIANA...AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI INTO ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE AND WESTERN ALABAMA...
...SUMMARY...
A few severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday into Sunday evening
across much of the lower Mississippi Valley. Strong to severe
thunderstorm development is also possible east of the Colorado Front
Range into adjacent portions of the central Great Plains.
...Synopsis...
Mid/upper ridging extending north-northeastward from the subtropical
eastern Pacific into the western U.S. is becoming increasingly
suppressed, as short wave perturbations within the westerlies
emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific progress inland around its
crest. This includes one significant impulse on the southern fringe
of the westerlies, which is forecast to migrate inland across the
northern California coast early today, followed by another by late
tonight. It appears that the trailing impulse may dig more sharply southeastward into the Sierra Nevada vicinity by 12Z Sunday, in
response to upstream large-scale ridge amplification. During the
day Sunday, through Sunday night, models indicate substantive trough amplification downstream of the ridging, across the southern Great
Basin into the Four Corners states.
In response to these developments, the remnants of a mid-level low
emerging from the northern Mexican Plateau are forecast to
accelerate from north central Texas into the lower Ohio Valley, with deamplifying troughing pivoting to its south/southeast, across the
lower Mississippi Valley into the Cumberland Plateau/southern
Appalachians by late Sunday night. It appears that this feature
will be accompanied by the inland (and northeastward) progression of
surface troughing along the western periphery of a large surface
ridge centered over the southern mid-latitude/subtropical western
Atlantic.
Primary surface cyclogenesis is forecast take place from
southeastern Colorado through the Texas Panhandle, into northwest Texas/southwestern Oklahoma, beneath a broadening plume of warm and
capping elevated mixed-layer air advecting eastward across much of
the southern Great Plains by late Sunday night.
Farther north, a surface cold front is forecast to overtake surface
troughing across the central Great Plains into Upper Midwest, as
cold surface ridging noses southward to the lee of the northern
Rockies, in association with mid-level troughing digging across the
central Canadian/U.S. border area.
...Upper Texas coast/lower Mississippi Valley...
If anything, latest model output appears a little less clear
concerning severe weather potential for Sunday. It still appears
that potentially cool/dry boundary layer air across and
east/northeast of the lower Mississippi Valley, associated with the Southeastern surface ridging, will substantively moisten beneath a north-northeastward developing low-level jet (around 30-40 kt at 850
mb). How quickly this occurs is becoming less certain, as moisture
return likely will be initially elevated, and convection developing
ahead of the approaching mid-level impulse may slow boundary-layer
warming. Still, with mid 60s+ F surface dew points forecast to
spread inland across the lower Mississippi Valley vicinity, moderate destabilization beneath relatively cold mid-level air associated
with the short wave trough appears possible. If this occurs, a 50+
kt mid-level jet streak will contribute to an environment conducive
to organized convective development, including supercells.
Depending on how convection evolves across Louisiana into
Mississippi, it is possible that the mid-level cold core could
become a focus for strong to severe storm development across parts
of central and southern Arkansas late Sunday afternoon and evening.
...Front Range into adjacent central Great Plains...
Northeast of the larger-scale troughing digging into the Four
Corners states, strongly difluent and divergent high-level flow may
aid convective development within moistening post-frontal upslope
flow to the east of the Colorado Front Range. By mid to late Sunday
afternoon, it appears that destabilization beneath steepening
lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates may become sufficient to support
severe storms capable of producing large hail along and north of the
Palmer Divide. As this convection tends to develop with favorable
mid/upper support toward a dryline/cold front intersection across
east central Colorado into western Kansas by Sunday evening,
low-level thermodynamic profiles and shear may become increasingly
conducive to an organizing convective system posing a risk for
strong surface gusts. Once lingering uncertainties concerning
destabilization become better resolved, it is possible that higher
severe probabilities will be needed in later outlooks for this
period.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday into Sunday evening across
much of the lower Mississippi Valley. A couple of tornadoes,
damaging gusts and hail are possible with this activity. Strong to
severe thunderstorm development is also possible east of the
Colorado Front Range into adjacent portions of the central Great
Plains, where hail and damaging gusts will be the main concern.
...Lower MS Valley/Central Gulf Coast Vicinity...
A compact, negatively tilted mid/upper level trough will lift
northeast from eastern TX to the lower OH/TN Valley on Sunday. While
some weakening of the trough is forecast as it develops northeast,
persistent 35-45 kt 850-700 mb southwesterly midlevel flow will
remain over the region. Ongoing convection is expected Monday
morning in a warm advection regime ahead of a deepening surface low
over OK/TX. This activity could pose a threat for locally damaging
gusts and perhaps a couple of tornadoes across parts of southwest LA
into southwest MS. The extent of early convection does lead to some
uncertainty in the evolution of the severe threat during the
afternoon. However, warm advection will allow mid/upper 60s
dewpoints to spread northward across the region as temperatures warm
into the mid to upper 70s. This should result in weak to moderate destabilization. This will support reinvigoration/continuation of
severe potential along outflow from morning convection and near a
warm front lifting northward across AR/MS/AL. Forecast soundings
indicate low level hodographs becoming enlarged and favorably curved
to support a continued tornado threat into the afternoon/early
evening, and strong low to midlevel flow will support damaging wind
potential.
Forecast guidance also suggests that airmass recovery will occur
across parts of northern LA/southern AR during the afternoon as the
core of the mid/upper trough tracks over the region. Supercells
capable of all severe hazards will be possible across this region as
well.
...Central High Plains...
A southeastward-advancing cold front and dryline will intersect
across east-central CO/west-central KS Sunday afternoon. Upslope low
level flow will result in surface dewpoints as high as the low 50s
beneath steep midlevel lapse rates, resulting in 1000-2000 J/kg
MLCAPE. Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the higher
terrain during the late afternoon and shift eastward into the High
Plains. Supercell wind profiles will allow for organized cells
initially capable of large hail. Steep low level lapse rates also
will support strong outflow winds. As the cold front surges
south/southeast during the evening, some upscale development is
possible as convection shifts eastward into western KS. This will
increase the potential for damaging gusts into the nighttime hours.
More isolated convection is expected southward toward the Oklahoma
Panhandle near a dryline. A few storms could develop over the higher
terrain of northeast NM and shift eastward across the OK Panhandle,
producing hail and locally damaging gusts. This activity will remain
tied to the dryline and diurnally driven, with severe potential
decreasing after sunset.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE MONDAY
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS
THROUGH THE OZARK PLATEAU AND PORTIONS OF THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible, particularly Monday evening into
the overnight hours, in a corridor from northeastern Oklahoma
through the Ozark Plateau and portions of the lower Ohio Valley.
Some of this activity may pose a risk for large, damaging hail and
strong wind gusts.
...Synopsis...
Models indicate that a belt of westerlies across the northern
mid-latitude Pacific may undergo considerable amplification during
this period. It appears that this will include a building mid-level
ridge axis to the west of the British Columbia/Pacific Northwest
coast, while broader ridging across the southern
mid-latitude/subtropical eastern Pacific begins to shift inland of
the California coast and Baja. As this occurs, initially amplified
downstream troughing is forecast to progress east-northeastward out
of the Four Corners states.
It still appears that a series of smaller-scale impulses may
gradually emerge from the Southwest, rather than one consolidated
perturbation, but at least one of these may be fairly prominent.
The degree of phasing with mid-level troughing near the central
Canadian/U.S. border area, within a branch of westerlies to the
north, remains unclear. Models continue to vary considerably
concerning these and associated surface developments, within/beneath
an otherwise broadly confluent regime across and east of the
Mississippi Valley.
In general, it does appear that a surface cold front will continue
to overtake initially broad surface troughing across the Upper
Midwest into the southern Great Plains, as cold surface ridging
noses southward to the lee of the Rockies. Surface cyclogenesis
along it will probably remain modest to weak as it advances eastward
and southeastward, but an influx of seasonably high boundary-layer
moisture content is expected to precede the front, on seasonably
moderate to strong southwesterly low-level flow.
...Ohio Valley/Ozark Plateau and adjacent southern Great Plains...
Of particular concern, model output, in general, continues to
indicate a return of mid 60s to around 70F surface dew points,
beneath a plume of very steep lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates
associated with warm and capping elevated mixed-layer air. This
will contribute to significant convective instability and sizable
CAPE on the order of 2000-3000+ K/kg, in the presence favorably
sheared 30-50+ kt flow in the 850-500 mb layer, supporting
considerable potential for organized severe convection.
There still appears a general signal in the latest NCEP SREF, GEFS,
and ECENS that large-scale forcing for ascent may begin to erode
mid-level inhibition along the northern periphery of the warmer and
more strongly capping elevated mixed-layer air, across north central/northeastern Oklahoma into southwestern Missouri by late
Monday afternoon and evening. A few supercells are possible
initially, but convection may tend to grow rapidly upscale into one
or more organizing clusters.
Perhaps in response to the approach of the most significant
mid-level perturbation emerging from the Southwest, further
consolidation and upscale convective growth appears possible, across
and east of the Ozark Plateau into lower Ohio Valley overnight.
Although continuing spread among the deterministic models precludes
it at the present time, severe weather probabilities could still be
increased in later outlooks, within a corridor across parts of
northeastern Oklahoma, southern Missouri, and northern Arkansas,
into the lower Ohio Valley. Given the environment, strongest
convection across this region could pose a risk for large,
destructive hail and strong, damaging wind gusts.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND FAR NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of Oklahoma and far
northeast Texas into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys
on Monday. Damaging gusts, large hail and a few tornadoes will be
possible with this activity. Additional strong to isolated severe
thunderstorms are possible from the southern Plains into portions of
the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
...Synopsis...
An active severe weather day is expected on Monday from portions of
the southern Plains through the Ohio Valley and into portions of the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic vicinity. A weak shortwave impulse will be
oriented near Lake Michigan toward AL/GA during the morning, and
lift northeast to the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic coastal vicinity by the
end of the period. A belt of enhanced southwesterly midlevel flow
associated with this feature will overspread portions of the TN
Valley to the Mid-Atlantic atop a moist boundary layer and modest
lapse rate environment. This should support scattered thunderstorm
development across much of the southern/central Appalachians into
the VA/NC Piedmont and Chesapeake Bay vicinity through Monday
evening.
To the west, a deep mid/upper trough will eject from the Rockies and
across the Plains toward the MS Valley vicinity during the forecast
period. A plume of steep midlevel lapse rates will overspread the
southern Plains and mid-MS/lower OH Valleys ahead of a cold front
and atop a seasonally moist boundary layer. Severe thunderstorms are
expected near/ahead of the front from the southern Plains into the
Ohio Valley through Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Some of
these storms could produce very large hail, significant wind damage
and a few tornadoes.
...OK/TX to the Lower OH Valley...
A cold front will extend from a surface low over western IA to a
surface low over northwest TX Monday morning, while a dryline
extends southward across northern into central TX. Ahead of these
features, dewpoints in the 60s will exist, with mid/upper 60s
dewpoints possible as far north as central IL, and low 70s dewpoints
from the Arklatex toward the MO bootheel, by Monday evening. A plume
of steep midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8.5 C/km atop this moist
boundary layer will aid in moderate to strong destabilization with
MLCAPE values from 1500-3000 J/kg expected. The strongest
instability/steepest lapse rate corridor is expected across parts of
northern AR into far southern MO east/northeast to southern
IN/western KY.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may be ongoing ahead of the
front across eastern IA during the morning. Convection should
increase and intensify as it shifts east into northern IL through
the afternoon. Hail and locally damaging gusts will be possible with
this activity. Convection will develop during the late afternoon
into the evening hours further south/southwest as upper trough
ejects into the Plains and the cold front surges east/southeast from
portions of central MO/IL into southwest OK/northwest TX. This
activity will develop amid supercell wind profiles and initial
cellular activity could produce very large hail, damaging gusts and
a few tornadoes, especially across northern AR/southern MO toward
southern IL/western KY. Convection may grow upscale late Monday
night into early Tuesday morning across southeast MO/southern IL and
spread eastward into the lower OH Valley with a continued damaging
wind and tornado threat.
...Southwest OK/Northwest TX...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop near or behind the
cold front from late afternoon into the evening. This activity will
be elevated, but moderate instability and very steep lapse rates
amid strong shear will support large hail potential. Depending on
model trends, Slight risk probabilities may need to be expanded
across this area in later outlooks for SIG hail potential.
...Southeast to Mid-Atlantic vicinity...
While the midlevel shortwave trough will lift northeast of the
southern Appalachians during the morning hours, a belt of 35-45 kt
850-700 mb flow will overspread much of the Southeast to
Mid-Atlantic vicinity. A seasonally warm and moist boundary layer
will be in place, and scattered thunderstorm development is expected
during the morning into the afternoon/evening. Slightly increasing
mid/upper level heights may suppress stronger convection across
parts of AL/GA, but even pulse-like convection could produce
sporadic damaging gusts or hail. Further north across the central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic, moderate shear and instability will
support isolated strong to severe thunderstorms, mainly capable of
strong gusts and hail.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
FAR SOUTHEAST
ARKANSAS...LOUISIANA...MISSISSIPPI...TENNESSEE...ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST GEORGIA...
...SUMMARY...
Widespread strong to severe thunderstorm development is possible
Tuesday from the lower Mississippi and Ohio Valleys into the
Allegheny and Cumberland Plateau regions. This will include a risk
for large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.
...Synopsis...
The severe weather forecast for Tuesday remains complex with
lingering uncertainty. Most of the forecast changes for this cycle
are peripheral/modest for the Slight and Enhanced risk areas. The
Marginal risk area has been expanded quite a bit to the east, from
the South Carolina to Delmarva coast.
On a broader scale, an upper trough extending from the Upper Midwest
to southwest TX/northeast Mexico will migrate eastward, becoming
oriented from the upper Great Lakes to GA by Wednesday morning.
Several smaller shortwave perturbations are forecast to eject
northeastward across parts of the lower MS Valley to the lower Great
Lakes vicinity as well as portions of the central
Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic vicinity. At the surface, a seasonally
moist airmass will be in place, with mid 60s to low 70s dewpoints as
far north as the TN Valley and into the Carolinas/Chesapeake Bay
vicinity. Low to mid 60s dewpoints will spread further north into
the lower Great Lakes eastward toward the I-95 corridor from
Philadelphia into southern NJ. Meanwhile, an EML characterized by
steep 700-500 mb lapse rates around 7-8 C/km will advect eastward
across the lower MS Valley into the TN Valley, aiding in strong
destabilization with MLCAPE values forecast around 2000-3000 J/kg.
Weaker, but still sufficient lapse rates will exist across parts of
the Ohio Valley eastward to the mid-Atlantic coast. A belt of
increasing southwesterly midlevel flow will overspread much of the
lower MS Valley into the Mid-Atlantic ahead of the main upper
trough, providing further support for organized convection. As a
result, a broad area of strong to severe thunderstorms are expected
across a large part of the southeastern US into the Mid-Atlantic.
...Lower MS Valley/Southeast...
The greatest/most concentrated severe threat on Tuesday appears to
extend parts of AR/LA eastward into TN/AL/GA. Some uncertainty
continues across this region as ongoing convection is expected over
parts of the area during the morning hours as an MCS spreads
eastward across the Ohio Valley and perhaps parts of the TN Valley.
How this system from the Day 1/Monday period evolves will have some
impact on how further convection develops later in the
morning/afternoon as the airmass recovers ahead of the main surface
cold front spreading southeast through the afternoon. Little capping
is expected across the area and pockets of stronger heating will
likely result in early development of thunderstorm clusters across
parts of MS/AL/GA. While effective shear will initially be modest,
this should rapidly increase through the morning. This initial
activity will pose a threat for all severe hazards, including hail,
damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes.
By late morning/early afternoon, convection is expected to develop
along the surface cold front from parts of AR into far east TX. Some
of this activity will likely remain cellular initially amid
supercell wind profiles. With midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8 C/km
this activity could produce significant hail, in addition to
damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes. With time, stronger
forcing and boundary-parallel deep layer flow should result in
upscale growth into bowing/linear segments as convection shifts
eastward across MS/LA and into AL during the afternoon/evening. This
will increase the potential for more widespread damaging gusts, and
favorable low level speed shear should continue to support
mesovortex tornado potential along the line.
...Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic...
A moist boundary layer (low to mid 60s F dewpoints) beneath modest
midlevel lapse rates will be in place on Tuesday amid 35-50 kt
850-700 mb west/southeasterly flow. MLCAPE values around 1500-2500
J/kg are forecast as pockets of strong heating result in steepening
low level lapse rates. Low level flow will remain weak, but marginal
supercell wind profiles should support isolated to scattered
organized thunderstorm development during the afternoon. A
well-mixed boundary layer, with inverted-v low level thermodynamic
profiles indicate potential for locally damaging gusts. Some of the
stronger cells also could produce marginally sever hail.
Some guidance suggests that the morning MCS over parts of OH/TN
Valley may continue eastward and spread into parts of VA/NC/SC. If
an organized convective system can be maintained, this could
increase damaging wind potential during the afternoon/evening and an
upgrade to Slight risk could be needed in later outlooks.

...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.

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z
...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 PARTS OF THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are expected within the
central and southern High Plains on Sunday afternoon and evening.
Damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the primary threats.
...Synopsis...
A weak ridge aloft will persist into Sunday evening across the
southern/central Plains. This feature will begin to break down
Sunday night as an upper-level trough moves towards the Four
Corners. Strong heating in the central/southern Rockies and along a
southern Plains dryline will provide focus for afternoon
thunderstorm development. Steep mid-level lapse rates are expected
to remain in place, though deep-layer shear will not be overly
strong. Strong/severe wind gusts and large hail will be possible,
particularly in parts of the southern High Plains.
...Southern High Plains...
A relatively more favorable overlap of deep-layer winds and buoyancy
will exist across parts of the combined Panhandles into the South
Plains. Mid-level lapse rates may not be as steep as Saturday, but
continued moisture return and strong heating will lead to the
development of moderate instability by afternoon. Storm development
is most likely along the dryline, near the weak surface cyclone
along the NM/TX border. Deep layer shear will remain marginal,
similar to previous days. Some initial supercell storms will likely
grow upscale relatively quickly and move slowly eastward. Large hail
will be most likely early in storm evolution. The previous day's
convection may leave an outflow boundary within the region. This
could potentially provide focus for a more organized wind threat. At
present, models suggest this may occur along/near the Red River.
Farther north into southwest Kansas, shear magnitudes will be weaker
and storm organization is less certain. However, a few storms are
still expected to develop along the higher terrain in Colorado and
move eastward posing a threat for strong/damaging winds and perhaps
hail.
...Northeastern Colorado/northern Kansas/central Missouri...
Though deep-layer flow will be weaker, potentially moderate
instability will develop near surface trough/warm front across the
central Plains into the Mid-Missouri Valley. Storm initiation is
most likely off of the higher terrain in Colorado. Low and mid-level
lapse rates will be sufficient for large hail and damaging winds.
Scattered storms may also develop near the front in eastern Kansas
into central Missouri in association with a mesovortex moving out of
Oklahoma. Cloud cover complicates how unstable the airmass will
become, but a marginal wind gust and hail threat will be possible
during the afternoon.
...Edwards Plateau into central Texas...
Storm coverage is not expected to be more than isolated on account
of stronger capping in this region. With the approach of the
shortwave trough to the west, a modest increase in mid-level winds
will bring effective shear values to near 40 kts. An isolated
supercell or two will be possible with a threat for large hail and strong/severe wind gusts. The development of a low-level jet may
help some of this activity persist to the east into the evening,
though CIN will also be increasing with eastward extent.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO SOUTHWEST TX...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms capable of very large hail, damaging wind, and
a couple of tornadoes will be possible Monday afternoon into Monday
night from portions of the central and southern High Plains into
southwest Texas.
...Synopsis...
On the large scale, a mid/upper-level low over the Southwest on
Monday morning is forecast to move slowly eastward through the
period, as an upper ridge builds from the Southeast into the Great
Lakes. Convectively enhanced vorticity maxima will likely be
embedded within the larger scale trough, with at least one such
feature potentially emanating out of the southern/central High
Plains during the day. A surface low will likely remain anchored
somewhere over west TX during the day on Monday, while a surface
ridge influences much of the eastern CONUS.
...Southern/central Great Plains into southwest TX...
Confidence is low regarding the evolution of convection and severe
potential over portions of the southern/central Plains on Monday
into Monday night, due to the likely presence of multiple MCVs
and/or outflow-generated boundaries across the region.
Relatively speaking, the highest confidence in severe potential is
from portions from southwest TX into the southern High Plains. In
this region, low-level southeasterly flow will transport relatively
rich low-level moisture beneath very steep lapse midlevel lapse
rates. Strong instability may develop to the east of a dryline from
portions of the TX/OK Panhandles southward into southwest TX.
Midlevel flow will gradually increase across this region in advance
of the upper low, allowing effective shear to increase into the
30-40 kt range. Isolated supercell development will be possible by
late afternoon/early evening along the dryline, posing a conditional
risk of very large hail and perhaps a couple of tornadoes. More
widespread development is possible later Tuesday night across
western portions of the Texas Hill Country into parts of the Big
Bend region, as large-scale ascent increases ahead of the upper low.
The late-night storms will pose a threat of hail, locally severe
wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado or two with any supercells that
can remain surface based. An upgrade may eventually be needed for
some portion of the Slight Risk area, if confidence increases in the development of at least a few supercells along/east of the dryline.
Further north and east across a larger portion of the
central/southern Plains, widespread convection on D1/Sunday into
Monday morning will likely generate one or more MCVs and outflow
boundaries, resulting in too many potential scenarios to mention at
this time. In general, moisture transport into the region will
likely sustain clusters of convection through the day. Midlevel flow
and effective shear will generally weaken with northward and
eastward extent, but may still be strong enough to support at least
weakly organized storms, with some potential for hail and/or
damaging wind.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SURROUNDING AREAS...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms -- including risk for large hail and locally damaging
winds -- are expected Tuesday across portions of the southern Plains
region and into eastern Kansas/western Missouri/Arkansas.
...Synopsis...
While a pronounced northern-stream upper trough will move across
northwestern portions of the U.S. Tuesday, the primary upper feature
with respect to convective weather will be a decelerating upper
trough/low moving into the southern Rockies area. Ahead of this
system, broad ascent will be maintained across the south-central
U.S., along with a zone of enhanced mid-level southwesterlies.
At the surface, a cold front associated with the northwestern U.S.
upper trough will shift eastward across the northern Intermountain
region, while high pressure prevails in the East. Ill-defined/broad
low pressure is expected over the south-central states ahead of the
slow-moving upper system, with primary baroclinic boundaries largely convectively induced.
...South-central U.S. and vicinity...
A complex scenario is anticipated Tuesday across the south-central
U.S. and vicinity, as the upper low/trough progressing across the
Four Corners states today/Day 1 slows/lingers over the southern
Rockies Tuesday. A belt of moderately strong southwesterly flow
aloft will spread across the southern Plains on the southeastern
periphery of the upper low, atop persistent low-level
southeasterlies, providing a background kinematic environment
supportive of organized/severe storms. However, locations where
greater risk will exist remain quite difficult to discern, as widespread/ongoing early-day convection and associated outflow
across the southern Plains will substantially influence/modulate
areas of subsequent favorable destabilization and associated
convective persistence/redevelopment.
At this time, it appears that outflow from overnight Oklahoma/north
Texas convection will have spread westward into the High
Plains/southward into central Texas/eastward across the Arklatex.
This outflow should then serve as a primary focus area for storm persistence/redevelopment -- particularly into the afternoon and
evening hours.
Storms may initiate over the southern High Plains as far west as
eastern New Mexico, but weaker flow aloft and lesser instability
compared to areas farther east should limit overall severe risk.
MRGL risk will be introduced here, for hail and a locally damaging
gust or two.
Greater potential is expected -- pending outflow/convective
evolution -- from the Hill Country region of central Texas
northeastward toward the Arklatex. Where ample destabilization of
the moist boundary layer can occur, favorable deep-layer shear which
will reside across this area will support organized/rotating storms,
and all-hazards severe risk with stronger convective cells/elements.
Lower-probability severe potential should extend northward across
the Arklatex into eastern Kansas/western Missouri, near the presumed northeastward extent of outflow from the Day 1 convection. While destabilization potential should remain limited by cloud cover,
ample shear across this area will support a few stronger storms, and
local severe risk.
Overnight, convection will continue -- elevated in many locations
atop a boundary layer stabilized by prior convection -- as low-level
southerly flow strengthens diurnally. Severe risk -- especially in
the form of hail -- will likely persist in some areas through the
end of the period.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1231 PM CDT Tue May 18 2021
Valid 191200Z - 201200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Organized severe thunderstorms are possible across far southern
Texas, with at least isolated severe thunderstorms possible across
parts of central Texas into the Arklatex tomorrow. A few strong to
severe thunderstorms are also possible across portions of the
southern High Plains tomorrow afternoon and evening. Damaging gusts
and large hail are the primary threats across all threat areas.
...Synopsis...
Mid-level troughing and associated deep-layer meridional flow will
persist across the southern CONUS tomorrow. Through the day, broad
20-30 kt 850 mb flow will continue to advect deep moisture northward
beneath a steep lapse rate plume to support ample instability in the
presence of modest deep-layer shear. Multiple areas of organized
storms from Day 1 may be ongoing at the start of the period,
introducing some uncertainties as to the exact placement and timing
of strong to severe storms through Day 2. Nonetheless, the
aforementioned instability in place suggests that some organized
severe potential will take place across portions of the
south-central U.S. tomorrow.
...Far south-central TX...
Surface outflow remnant from an MCS expected across central TX on
Day 1 is expected to continue drifting southward across southern TX
at the start of the Day 2 period. With the onset of diurnal heating,
surface temperatures are expected to warm into the 80s F, with
dewpoints over 70F south of the boundary, promoting over 3000 J/kg
MLCAPE in the morning given the presence of 8+ C/km 700-500 mb lapse
rates. Despite the modest (i.e. 25-30 kts) effective bulk shear in
place, strong instability is expected to foster robust thunderstorm
development around 15-18Z, both with rejuvenated convection along
the southward sagging outflow boundary, and with new convective
development off of the steeper terrain in northeast Mexico. Large
hail may accompany initial transient supercells, and a 2 inch
diameter stone or two cannot be completely ruled out. However, cold
pool mergers amidst relatively weak low-level flow fields are
expected to result in rapid upscale growth into linear segments,
where damaging gusts will quickly become the primary concern. The
northern bounds of the Slight risk may need to be considerably
adjusted based on the position of Day 1 remnant convective outflow
boundaries, including the potential for northward expansions.
...Central TX into LA...
As the Day 1 convective outflow boundaries continue to sag southeast
through the day, re-intensification of convection along these
boundaries are expected, with potentially more than one MCS(s)
propagating across central and eastern TX into LA during the morning
to mid-afternoon hours. A couple damaging gusts and perhaps a severe
hailstone or two may accompany the stronger storm cores embedded in
the MCSs.
...Portions of the southern High Plains...
A mid-level impulse is expected to slowly eject into the southern
High Plains tomorrow, promoting the development of multiple rounds
of convection through the day. Consideration was given to the
addition of a Slight risk across portions of the Texas Panhandle
into the Texas Rolling Plains area. However, mid-morning convection
may promote enough convective overturning to inhibit relatively more
robust convection late in the afternoon event ahead of the dryline
tomorrow. Nonetheless, 7.5-8.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates atop deep
low-level moisture is expected promote 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE,
particularly in areas that may remain free from earlier day
convection, that combined with 25-40 kts of effective bulk shear and
100+ m2/s2 effective SRH may promote brief instances of large hail,
damaging gusts, and perhaps a tornado during the late afternoon with
some of the stronger storms. A Slight risk upgrade may be needed if
convective interference of early day storms becomes less of a
concern.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms with large hail and wind damage will be
possible tomorrow across parts of the northern High Plains.
Marginally severe thunderstorms may occur outside of the Slight risk
area in parts of the Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi
Valley.
...Synopsis...
Broad upper ridging and associated large-scale subsidence will
prevail across much of the eastern CONUS, as a mid-level trough
gradually progresses eastward across the western CONUS. Across the
Plains states into the Upper Mississippi Valley, deep-layer
meridional flow will define the upper air pattern, with a wide
corridor of 30+ kt low-level flow advecting moisture northward
through the day. Low-level moisture return will become relatively
more meager with westward extent across the central CONUS. Still,
upslope flow along the higher terrain to the lee of the Rockies,
along with glancing upper support from the approaching mid-level
trough, will contribute to deep-layer ascent supporting the
development of strong storms with some severe risk across the
northern High Plains. Deep-moist convergence at the terminus of the
stronger low-level flow across the Upper Mississippi Valley is also
expected to foster organized storm development during the afternoon
hours, with a couple of severe storms possible.
...Northern High Plains...
Convective initiation is expected by mid afternoon to the lee of the
Rockies. Storms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity
atop a dry, deeply mixed boundary layer (extending up to 700-500 mb
in some spots) given relatively lackluster low-level moisture
recovery, with surface dewpoints remaining generally below 50F.
Nonetheless, sfc-3km AGL lapse rates are expected to exceed 8.5 C/km
by peak heating across much of the northern High Plains, overspread
by 8+ C/km mid-level lapse rates supporting 1500+ J/kg MLCAPE.
Vigorous convective development is expected along the lee of the
Rockies, that combined with 30+ kts of sfc-6 km speed shear, will
support updraft organization into multicellular clusters and
transient supercells. Large hail may accompany the stronger
updrafts. However, relatively mediocre low-level shear and
evaporative cooling within the deep, very dry sub-cloud layer is
expected to result in cold pool mergers and subsequent upscale
growth into one or more MCSs by early evening. Damaging wind gusts
may accompany the stronger cores embedded within any organized MCS.
...Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley...
While widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected
within the axis of stronger 925-850 mb flow at the start of the
period across parts of IA into MN, gradual clearing is expected
later in the day. While low and mid-level lapse rates will not be as
steep compared to areas farther west, richer low-level moisture is
expected to compensate. As such, 1000-1500 J/K MLCAPE is expected by
afternoon across the Upper Mississippi Valley, northwestward to the
U.S./Canada border, where a cold front is expected to be slowly
sagging southward. Damaging gusts and a couple severe hail stones
may accompany the stronger storms embedded in the low-level wind
maxima, and along the front itself. Given relatively modest speed
and directional vertical wind shear (with bulk effective shear
values remaining around or below 35 kts), the severe threat is
expected to remain relatively isolated, with a Marginal risk in
place to address this threat.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE DAKOTAS AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS...AND OVER
PORTIONS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST/UPPER GREAT LAKES...
...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms capable of producing hail and strong gusty winds
will be possible Friday across parts of the High Plains, with a wind
gust or two also possible over parts of the Upper Midwest.
...Synopsis...
A high-amplitude upper flow field -- featuring a closed low and surrounding/broad cyclonic flow field -- will cover the western half
of the country, while a ridge encompasses the East.
At the surface, high pressure will prevail from the southern Plains/Ozarks/Midwest regions eastward. Meanwhile, on the eastern
fringe of the cyclonic flow field aloft, a surface baroclinic zone
will extend from the northern Plains to the Four Corners area, while
a lee trough extends from a weak frontal low over northeastern
Colorado southward across the southern High Plains region through
the period.
...North Dakota vicinity southward into the central High Plains... Thunderstorms are forecast to develop near and to the cool side of a
baroclinic zone lying from northeast Colorado north-northeastward
into the Dakotas during the afternoon. Most of the convection over
the Dakotas will likely remain elevated west of the front, with hail
being the primary severe risk. Farther southwest, across northeast
Colorado and far southeast Wyoming and into the Nebraska Panhandle
-- just northeast of the northeastern Colorado surface low -- a few surface-based storms are expected near peak heating. Here, locally gusty/damaging winds will be possible along with potential for hail
with the strongest storms. While the wind risk will decrease
through the evening as surface-based storms diminish, some hail risk
may continue with elevated storms persisting in a zone of warm
advection north/west of the front.
...Southern High Plains...
Isolated afternoon convective development is expected along a weak
lee trough across the High Plains of southeastern Colorado and into
eastern New Mexico, as the airmass destabilizes in tandem with
daytime heating. With moderately strong
southerly/south-southwesterly flow with height suggesting that a few
stronger storms/segments may evolve, and a deep mixed layer
supporting potential for evaporatively enhanced downdrafts, a 5%
wind/MRGL risk will is being included.
...Parts of the Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes...
As a weak vort max on the western portion of the eastern U.S. upper
ridge moves north-northeastward across the Upper Midwest vicinity
through the afternoon and into the Upper Great Lakes during the
evening, showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to evolve,
within a modestly unstable environment. While weak lapse rates
should limit overall convective intensity/severe risk, moderately
strong south-southwesterly flow with height may be sufficient to
allow evolution of a few stronger storms during the afternoon and
early evening. Locally gusty/damaging winds would likely be the
main risk, before convection weakens diurnally.

...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.

the surface, a trough should be located from eastern New Mexico
northeastward into central Kansas. To the east of the surface
trough, south-southeast winds will result in moisture advection
across the southern High Plains and central Plains during the day.
Surface dewpoints should be in the lower to mid 60s F across west
Texas and west-central Kansas with a dryline located on the western
edge of the moist airmass. Surface heating and increasing low-level
convergence near the dryline will likely result in scattered
convective initiation during the mid to late afternoon.
Thunderstorms will likely develop and move eastward into the
stronger instability, where MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 2000
to 3000 J/kg range by late afternoon.
In addition to the instability, deep-layer shear is forecast to be
in the 25 to 30 kt range from west Texas into central Kansas. The
amount of shear will be aided by some directional shear in the
boundary-layer and speed shear in the mid-levels. This combined with
steep 700-500 mb lapse rates near 8.0 C/km will be favorable for
strong updrafts. Supercell development will be possible, mainly in
areas that reach peak destabilization in the late afternoon. Hail
will be likely with any supercell. Multicells, with wind damage
potential will also be possible, especially if a convective cluster
or line can become organized.
...Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes...
An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Plains
on Tuesday as an associated 60 to 75 mid-level jet translates east-northeastward into the upper Mississippi Valley. At the
surface, a cold front will advance eastward across the northern
Plains as a pre-frontal trough moves into the upper Mississippi
Valley. Thunderstorm development is expected to occur along and near
the pre-frontal trough during the afternoon from northern and
western Wisconsin south-southwestward into far southeast Minnesota
and far northeast Iowa. Ahead of the pre-frontal trough, a corridor
of moderate instability, with SBCAPE peaking around 1500 J/kg, is
expected to setup from Iowa into central Wisconsin and upper
Michigan.
In addition to the instability, the mid-level jet will create
moderate deep-layer shear. Forecast soundings near Madison and La
Crosse by 21Z have south-southwest flow at the surface, with
westerly flow near 700 mb. 0-6 km shear is forecast to be near 50
kt. This would be more than sufficient for supercells. An elevated
mixed layer extending eastward from southern Minnesota into western
Wisconsin will create steep mid-level lapse rates supportive of
hail. Marginally severe wind gusts will also be possible. However,
the severe threat will be conditional upon the amount of
destabilization and number of storms that form relative to the
distribution of instability. Although a slight risk may be needed on
Tuesday across parts of the upper Mississippi Valley, the threat
appears too conditional at this time for an upgrade from marginal
risk.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
NEBRASKA AND FAR NORTHERN KANSAS...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE GREAT PLAINS OUTSIDE OF THE ENHANCED RISK AREA AND IN PARTS OF
THE NORTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are probable on Wednesday across
parts of the Great Plains, where damaging wind gusts, large hail and
a couple tornadoes are possible. The greatest potential for severe
will be in the central Plains. Scattered severe thunderstorms will
also be possible on Wednesday across parts of the central and
northern Appalachians.
...Central Plains/Northern High Plains...
An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Rockies
on Wednesday as a shortwave ridge moves across the central and
northern Plains. Ahead of the upper-level trough, a surface low will
deepen across eastern Wyoming during the day. Upslope flow will be
in place across much of the northern Plains with south southeasterly
flow located across the central High Plains. Moisture advection will
take place across the central High Plains on Wednesday with a moist
axis setting up from western Kansas north-northwestward into western
Nebraska. Surface dewpoints along the moist axis will likely be in
the mid to upper 50s F, contributing to moderate instability by mid
to late afternoon. Convection will form in the higher terrain of
northeast Colorado and eastern Wyoming, with thunderstorm developing
and moving eastward into the central High Plains during the late
afternoon and early evening.
Moderate deep-layer shear is forecast across much of the central
High Plains on Wednesday. As the upper-level trough approaches and
the low-level jet strengthens, deep-layer shear will increase. This
combined with 700-500 mb lapse rates in the 7.5 to 8 C/km range,
will make conditions favorable for supercells with large hail.
Hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible
with the stronger updrafts. A tornado threat and wind-damage threat
will likely exist with supercells. Large-scale ascent associated
with the upper-level trough, is forecast to increase during the
evening across the central High Plains, resulting in the development
of a linear MCS. This combined with a strengthening low-level jet
should provide support for a severe convective line with numerous
damaging wind gusts. Wind gusts greater than 65 knots will be
possible during the evening along the leading edge of the line,
mainly from central Nebraska southward into far northern Kansas,
where an enhanced risk has been maintained for this outlook.
Thunderstorms will also develop across parts of the northern High
Plains during the afternoon. Although instability is forecast to be
weak from northeast Wyoming into southeast Montana, deep-layer shear
will be strong due to influence of the upper-level trough. This
combined with steep mid-level lapse rates will support a marginal
hail threat. Strong gusty winds may also occur with the multicells
that can become organized.
...Southern High Plains...
West to southwest mid-level flow will be in place across the
southern High Plains on Wednesday. At the surface, a moist airmass
will be located across much of west Texas, where a dryline will form
during the afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s F to
the east of the dryline should yield MLCAPE in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg
range. Increasing low-level convergence along the dryline during the
mid to late afternoon should result in isolated convective
initiation. Storms that can initiate despite the warm air aloft will
likely become supercellular, due to the moderate deep-layer shear.
This combined with very steep mid-level lapse rates in the 8.0 to
8.5 C/km range, will support a threat for large hail. Hailstones of
greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible. The severe
threat is expected to decrease during the mid evening as a capping
inversion strengthens across the southern High Plains.
...Central and Northern Appalachians...
An upper-level trough will move eastward across the Great Lakes
region on Wednesday with west-northwesterly mid-level flow located
across much of the northeastern U.S. At the surface, a cold front
will advance southeastward into the lower Great Lakes region during
the afternoon. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of the front
with surface dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s F. Although Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario will keep the airmass stable just downstream of the
lakes, moderate instability is forecast to develop in much of New
York and Pennsylvania by midday. Thunderstorms will develop along
the western edge of the moderate instability and move eastward into
central New York and northern Pennsylvania during the afternoon.
NAM Forecast soundings along this corridor at 21Z/Wednesday show
moderate deep-layer shear with very steep lapse rates in the
boundary layer. This will be favorable for damaging wind gusts with
supercells and organized multicell line segments. Supercells with
large hail will also be possible, mainly with discrete storms that
form further east in the stronger instability. A tornado threat may
also develop during the mid to late afternoon. The greatest
potential for tornadoes is forecast across eastern New York and in
western New England, where 850 mb winds are forecast to be stronger
and 0-3 km storm relative helicities are forecast to be in the 250
to 350 m2/s2 range during the afternoon.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE PARTS OF THE
OZARKS AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely on Thursday and Thursday
night from parts of the southern and central Great Plains into the
Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley. Very large hail, significant
severe wind gusts, and several tornadoes are possible.
...Southern and Central Plains...
An upper-level trough will move across the central High Plains on
Thursday as west-southwesterly mid-level flow remains in place
across much of the southern and central Plains. At the surface, a
low will move northeastward across the mid Missouri Valley as a
trailing cold front advances southeastward across the central
Plains. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms may develop ahead of the
front during the morning across southern Kansas, in response to the
low-level jet. To the south of this convection across much of the
southern Plains, the airmass will be moist and unstable. Moderate
instability is expected to develop by midday across much of Oklahoma
and southeast Kasnas. A sharp gradient of instability may be present
during the early afternoon across far southern Kansas or far
northern Oklahoma related to an outflow boundary associated with the
morning convective cluster. Convection should gradually increase
along the outflow boundary, moving eastward across northeast
Oklahoma, far southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri during the
afternoon.
In addition to moderate instability, NAM forecast soundings by
21Z/Thursday to the north of Tulsa to near Springfield have 0-6 km
shear in the 40 to 45 kt range. This will support supercell
development, mainly with cells that remain discrete or with storms
at the southern end of short line-segments that develop. 0-3 km
storm relative helicities are forecast to increase to about 200
m2/s2 across northeast Oklahoma during the late afternoon suggesting
that a tornado threat will be possible. Large hail and wind damage
will also be likely with supercells. Damaging wind gusts of greater
than 65 knot could occur, especially if a cold pool can organize.
Further southwest into west Texas and western Oklahoma, the southern
part of an upper-level trough will move across the southern High
Plains on Thursday. A surface trough is expected to deepen across
west Texas as a cold front advances southward into the Texas
Panhandle. Moderate instability should be in place by afternoon
along and south of the front across much of the southern High
Plains. A dryline will develop on the western edge of the moderate
instability with convective initiation taking place just to the east
of the dryline during the mid to late afternoon. These storms should
move eastward and affect parts of the Caprock, Low Rolling Plains
and western Oklahoma during the late afternoon and early evening.
MLCAPE is forecast to be in the 2500 to 3500 J/Kg range with 0-6 km
shear between 40 and 50 kt. This will be favorable for supercells
with large hail. The instability and mid-level lapse rates exceeding
8.5 C/Km will make hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter
possible. An isolated tornado and wind-damage threat should
accompany supercells during the late afternoon and early evening.
...Ozarks/Mid Mississippi Valley...
An upper-level trough will move eastward across the central Plains
on Thursday as west to southwest mid-level flow remains in place
across the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a low
will move eastward across Iowa as a trailing cold front advances
southeastward across the central Plains and mid Missouri Valley. A
morning MCS is expected to track eastward across southern Iowa and
northern Missouri early in the period, moving southeastward across
central and southern Illinois during the late morning and early
afternoon. This MCS could be associated with damaging wind gusts and
large hail. An outflow boundary is expected to push southward from
the convective complex into north-central Missouri by midday, along
which additional convective development is expected during the
afternoon. To the south of this outflow boundary, a moist and
unstable airmass will be in place across southern and central
Missouri. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop in this
unstable airmass during the afternoon, with a second MCS likely
organizing and moving southeastward across the Ozarks and mid
Mississippi Valley during the evening.
NAM forecast soundings by 21Z across in southern and central
Missouri have MLCAPE in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg with some directional
shear in the low-levels and about 50 kt of westerly flow at 500 mb.
This will create 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50 Kt range supporting
supercell development. A mixed mode will be likely as cells rapidly
increase in coverage during the late afternoon. Short organized line
segments should be capable of damaging wind gusts, especially in
areas where low-level lapse rates become the steepest. A linear MCS
is forecast to move east-southeastward across the region during the
early evening. Damaging wind gusts of greater than 65 knots will be
possible along the leading edge of this line. Severe storms will
also be possible during the day further north across northeast
Missouri, southeast Iowa and in much of Illinois, but instability
will not be as strong which should keep any severe threat a bit more
isolated.
Due to uncertainty associated with the placement of the outflow
boundary from the morning MCS, significant changes to the Enhanced
Risk area will not be made at this time. The slight risk area has
been adjusted northward to account for new models runs that suggest
moderate instability will be possible as far north as eastern Iowa
and far northwest Illinois. The 5 percent tornado contour has been
extended northward across parts of the mid Mississippi Valley where
low-level shear will become maximized in the late afternoon.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND MID-ATLANTIC...
...SUMMARY...
Widely scattered severe thunderstorms with large hail and wind
damage are possible Friday in southwest Texas and southeast New
Mexico. Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms associated
with wind damage are also possible over parts of the Mid-Atlantic.
...Southern High Plains...
A shortwave ridge will move eastward into the Rockies on Friday as west-northwesterly mid-level flow remains over much of the southern
and central Plains. At the surface, upslope east-southeasterly flow
will be in place across much of the southern Plains. As a result, a
moist and unstable airmass will be pushed back westward into far
west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. A sharply defined dryline
will develop on the western edge of the moist airmass from the Davis
Mountains extending northward into the Sacramento Mountains of
southeast New Mexico. Surface dewpoints to the east of the dryline
will be in the lower to mid 60s F, with moderate to strong
instability developing by afternoon. To the east of the dryline,
MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg. Isolated to
widely scattered thunderstorms are expected to form to the east of
the dryline with the storms move eastward into the southern High
Plains during the late afternoon and early evening.
In spite of the upper-level ridge, the environment across southeast
New Mexico and far west Texas will be favorable for severe storms.
In addition to the strong instability, 0-6 km shear is forecast to
be near 50 kt, mainly due to directional shear in the low-levels and
strong speed shear in the mid-levels. 700 to 500 mb lapse rates are
forecasts to be near 8.0 C/Km, which will be favorable for
supercells with large hail. A couple of supercells are expected to
develop across the southern High Plains during the late afternoon.
These storms should also be capable of producing damaging wind
gusts. Due to the presence of the upper-level ridge, the severe
threat is expected to decrease by mid to late evening as the capping
inversion becomes re-established in the southern High Plains.
...Mid-Atlantic...
A positively-tilted upper-level trough will move across the mid
Mississippi Valley on Friday as west-southwesterly mid-level flow
remains over much of the eastern U.S. At the surface, a low will
move eastward from the central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic
during the day. To the southeast of the surface, low, a sharply
defined warm front is forecast across central and eastern Virginia. Surface-based convective development is expected near the warm front
during the early to mid afternoon. Surface dewpoints in the mid 60s
F near and to the south of the warm front coupled with surface
heating should result in the development of a pocket of moderate
instability by midday. Forecast soundings at 21Z on Friday in
south-central Virginia within this pocket of instability, have
MLCAPE peaking around 1500 J/kg and 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35 kt
range. Winds in the boundary layer are veered to the southwest and
speed shear is present mostly in the mid-levels. 0-3 km lapse rates
are forecast to be very steep, approaching 8.0 C/km. This
environment will be favorable for isolated damaging wind gusts with
the stronger multicell line segments. The severe threat will be
fairly confined along and just to the south of the warm front, where instability and low-level convergence will be the strongest.
...Northern High Plains...
An upper-level trough will move eastward across the northern Rockies
on Friday as mid-level flow remains southwesterly across much of the
northern High Plains. At the surface, a narrow corridor of maximized
low-level moisture will be located from eastern Colorado
north-northwestward into far southeast Montana. Weak instability is
forecast to develop along this corridor as surface temperatures peak
in the mid to late afternoon. Convection will likely initiate in the
higher terrain of northeast Wyoming and southern Montana during the
afternoon, with thunderstorms moving eastward into the northern High
Plains. In spite of the weak instability, lapse rates will be very
steep. 0-3 km lapse rates along the moist axis are forecast to
approach 9.0 C/km by 21Z/Friday with 700-500 mb lapse rates being
near 8.0 C/Km. This will be favorable for an isolated severe threat.
Hail and marginally severe wind gusts will be possible, especially
if a rotating storm or two can form and persist during the late
afternoon and early evening.

AND NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO...
...SUMMARY...
Widely scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and
severe gusts are possible Saturday for parts of southeastern
Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.
...Central and southern High Plains...
A weak mid-level disturbance is forecast to crest a flattened
mid-level ridge over the southern High Plains on Saturday. Moist east-southeasterly upslope flow will maintain a fetch of
appreciable moisture into southwest TX and southeast NM, with the
northern periphery of the ribbon of moisture extending into eastern
CO. A plume of steep mid-level lapse rates coupled with strong
heating near the higher terrain, will favor diurnal storm
development with storm coverage highest over southern CO and
northeast NM. Strong to severe multicells and perhaps a supercell
or two, will lend a risk for large hail and severe gusts. This
activity will likely form near the terrain-preferred areas and move east-southeast into the High Plains during the late
afternoon/evening.
...Northeast NC...
A mid-level trough over the OH Valley will slowly move eastward
during the period. A surface low will weaken during the day as it
moves southeast from the VA/NC border to east of the Carolinas as a
cold front pushes southeast. Forecast soundings show moderate
destabilization over the coastal plain with upper 60s F dewpoints
and 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. A few strong to severe storms may be
capable of an isolated wind damage threat.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN NEW
MEXICO...PARTS OF TEXAS...ARKLATEX...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of a hail and wind risk are
possible over eastern New Mexico and the Texan portion of the Rio
Grande Valley. Isolated damaging gusts may occur from northeast
Texas into Arkansas on Tuesday.
...Eastern NM into southwest and south TX...
A cluster of residual morning thunderstorms may be ongoing across
the Edwards Plateau/Rio Grande vicinity or residual outflow from
overnight activity. Several convection-allowing models show a
mostly decaying band of storms prior to the start of the Day-2
period or during Tuesday morning. Although it seems unlikely at
this time, it is possible a rejuvenation of these thunderstorms
occurs during the day into parts of south TX. An associated risk
for severe gusts would be the primary threat. The focus for severe thunderstorms will shift westward near the higher terrain later in
the afternoon where strong heating is forecast. Models show a
ribbon of stronger mid-level flow will be over southwest TX, which
would potentially aid in storm organization. Isolated severe
thunderstorms are forecast for southwest TX northward into parts of
eastern NM where storm development is most likely. Hail/wind will
be the primary risks with the stronger storms with a lessening
severe risk by mid evening.
...Arklatex...
Morning showers and thunderstorms are likely mostly from far
northeast TX northward into OK/western AR during the morning due in
part to a LLJ and associated warm air advection. A mid-level trough
over the central states will gradually move southward towards the
region during the day. Despite early day convection and associated
cloud debris, pockets of stronger heating may lead to additional
storms developing during the afternoon into the early evening.
Mid-level lapse rates will likely remain modest and it currently
seems isolated damaging gusts will be the main threat with the
stronger storms.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND INTO WEST TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY...AND ALSO ACROSS THE ARKLATEX VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of a hail and wind risk are
possible over eastern New Mexico and the Texas portion of the Rio
Grande Valley. Isolated damaging gusts may also occur from
northeast Texas into Arkansas on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
Little change in the upper flow field is expected across the U.S. on
Tuesday, with only slow eastward progression of the main
longer-wavelength features -- specifically a positively tilted
trough extending from the Great Lakes to the southern Plains.
At the surface, a fairly weak/nondescript pattern will prevail
across a majority of the country, with high pressure predominant. A
weak surface low/front moving across Texas -- associated with
small-scale troughing moving through the broader cyclonic flow aloft
-- will focus widespread storms and local severe potential.
...Eastern New Mexico and West Texas/the Rio Grande Valley...
Moist easterly flow will continue Tuesday across West Texas and the
Rio Grande Valley. Meanwhile, weak lee troughing is expected to
evolve during the afternoon over the High Plains of eastern New
Mexico, as the upper trough shifts slowly east of the area, and thus
a bit more of a northwesterly/downslope component of the flow field
aloft evolving with time.
Showers and thunderstorms may be ongoing/lingering at the start of
the period over parts of South Texas, particularly in the vicinity
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where some gusty/damaging wind
potential may continue early in the period.
Later, upslope flow into the higher terrain of West Texas and also
parts of northern Mexico, along with weak ascent/convergence near
the New Mexico lee trough, should result in isolated afternoon storm development, as the airmass destabilizes diurnally. With enhanced
westerly flow aloft atop low-level easterlies, particularly across
West Texas, a few storms will likely become organized/supercellular,
posing a risk for large hail and locally damaging wind gusts. At
this time, coverage of convection appears likely to remain limited,
and thus will maintain only 5%/MRGL risk across the region.
...Arklatex region and vicinity...
Showers and scattered thunderstorms may be ongoing across parts of
East Texas and the Arklatex region at the start of the period, ahead
of a very weak surface low/cold front drifting eastward across the
southern Plains. While this precipitation and cloud cover may
negatively affect afternoon heating/destabilization potential in
some areas, pockets of greater CAPE development will likely support
an afternoon increase in coverage/intensity of storms near and ahead
of the surface system. While deep-layer shear is expected to remain
fairly weak, gusty/locally damaging winds may occur with a couple of
the stronger storms into the evening hours.

...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.

...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 SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NE...
...SUMMARY...
Strong to severe storms appear possible late Wednesday afternoon
into Wednesday night across parts of the central Plains and Upper
Midwest. Damaging winds and large hail should be the main threats.
...Central Plains into the Midwest...
A Slight Risk has been introduced across portions of NE, where
confidence is somewhat greater in the potential for storms capable
of damaging wind and large hail through late evening. The Marginal
Risk has been extended eastward into portions of IA/MO, mainly for
threat of an overnight MCS.
One or more vorticity maxima are expected to move along the
western/northern periphery of an upper ridge that will briefly build
into portions of the central/southern Rockies and High Plains.
Widely scattered high-based convection is expected to develop across
western NE into northwest KS, within a hot and well-mixed
environment. Storms will spread eastward into a more moist/unstable
environment and potentially intensify for a time during the evening.
Severe wind gusts will be the initial threat with storms moving out
of the NE Panhandle, given large DCAPE and potential for
consolidating outflows within a well-mixed environment. A somewhat
more conditional threat will extend into parts of southwest/central
NE, where MLCINH will be stronger, but a few discrete surface-based
cells will be possible, posing a threat of both severe wind and
large hail, given very steep midlevel lapse rates associated with
the well-defined EML emanating out of the central Rockies.
The strong EML may tend to suppress surface-based convection as
diurnal cooling/stabilization commences Wednesday night, but will
also support the potential for vigorous elevated convection, as a
southwesterly low-level jet increases across the region. Uncertainty
remains regarding the convective evolution overnight, but potential
will exist for ongoing storms, or renewed later development, to
evolve into a forward propagating MCS, which would pose a threat of
damaging wind and sporadic hail downstream into portions of eastern
KS/NE and western IA/northern MO.
...Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes...
A midlevel shortwave trough is forecast to move across portions of
SK/MB during the day on Wednesday, as a cold front moves into
portions of ND and northern MN. Buoyancy will be limited by
generally modest low-level moisture, but may become sufficient to
support widely scattered thunderstorm development along the front by
late afternoon. Effective shear of 30-40 kt will favor some
organized storms capable of locally damaging wind gusts and perhaps
some hail. Some portion of northern MN may eventually require a
Slight Risk upgrade if confidence increases in a sufficient coverage
of storms along the front.
Frontal storms will tend to weaken during the evening due to
nocturnal cooling/stabilization of the boundary layer, but renewed
elevated convection is expected by late Wednesday night from
central/northeast MN into northern WI and perhaps the U.P. of MI, as
a southwesterly low-level jet increases with time. Steep midlevel
lapse rates will favor a hail threat with this activity, while some
damaging wind risk may also evolve if convection grows upscale
overnight as it moves southeastward.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NORTHERN MO AND FAR NORTHEAST KS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across a broad
region of the central Plains, Mid Mississippi Valley, and upper
Midwest on Thursday. The greatest threat is currently forecast over
northern Missouri and vicinity during the afternoon and evening,
with a risk of large hail, damaging wind, and a tornado or two.
...Central Plains into Upper Midwest and Mid Mississippi Valley...
An Enhanced Risk has been added across portions of far northeast KS
into northern MO, where confidence in potentially multiple rounds of strong/severe storms is currently highest.
Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the evolution of early
day convection. One MCS (or its remnant) may be ongoing across some
portion of IA/MO/western IL Thursday morning, while another may be
ongoing across some portion of WI/MI. These systems could pose a
threat of isolated damaging wind during the morning, but should tend
to weaken with time as they move southeastward out of the primary
instability axis.
Meanwhile, a surface low is forecast to deepen through the afternoon
across central KS, as persistent southerly surface flow continues to
maintain rich low-level moisture into portions of the central Plains
and MO/MS Valleys. Redevelopment of intense convection is expected
by afternoon, along the eastern edge of an EML emanating out of the central/southern Rockies/High Plains. Initiation will likely be
associated with outflows from overnight convection, aided by a
seasonably strong southwesterly low-level jet.
At this time, the most favored region appears to be from extreme
northeast KS into northern MO, where multiple rounds of potentially
severe storms from afternoon into the evening/overnight will be
possible. Initial redevelopment during the afternoon, and potential backbuilding storms Thursday evening on the western edge of ongoing
convection, will pose a threat of large hail. Low-level shear may be
sufficient to support some tornado threat with any surface-based
supercell, especially with any cell interacting with a modified
outflow boundary. Damaging winds could become the primary concern
with time, especially with any bowing segments that can develop.
Across portions of WI into the U.P of MI, thunderstorm development
will be possible by late afternoon along a cold front and any
remnant outflow boundaries. Instability and shear will support a
threat of hail and locally damaging wind with the strongest storms.
...Central High Plains...
High-based convection is again expected to develop across portions
of the central High Plains during the afternoon, posing an initial
threat of localized severe wind gusts and perhaps some hail. As this
convection spreads eastward, it will encounter a much more
moist/unstable environment and could potentially intensify into
Thursday evening. As this occurs, any remaining semi-discrete storms
would continue to pose a threat of large hail, while potential will
exist for an upscale-growing cluster capable of at least localized
significant (65 kt or greater) wind gusts, given ample DCAPE across
the region.
...Northern Plains...
Isolated to scattered storms should develop through the day along a
secondary cold front from parts of northeastern MT into the Dakotas
as a subtle shortwave trough moves across this region. Low-level
moisture and boundary-layer instability will likely remain rather
limited, with surface dewpoints mainly in the low to mid 50s. Still,
this weak instability coupled with strong deep-layer shear may be
sufficient for isolated supercells to pose a severe hail and
strong/gusty wind threat through at least the early evening.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST/MID MS
VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe storms are expected Friday from portions
of the southern/central Plains to the mid Mississippi Valley and
Midwest. Large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a couple of tornadoes
will be possible.
...Synopsis...
A relatively active severe thunderstorm episode appears possible on
Friday, though considerable uncertainty remains regarding the
details. A broad Slight Risk has been maintained with this outlook,
though some areas may eventually require an upgrade as the mesoscale
details become clearer.
...Central Plains into the Midwest/Mid MS Valley/OH Valley...
Storms will likely be ongoing Friday morning across portions of the
central Plains, mid MS Valley, and possibly into the lower Great
Lakes/OH Valley. Any remnant MCSs may be capable of producing
locally damaging wind during the morning, though a general weakening
trend is expected through midday. A convectively reinforced boundary
will likely run from the central High Plains east-northeastward into
portions of the OH Valley by early afternoon. A positively tilted mid/upper-level trough will maintain a corridor of 30-40 kt
southwesterly midlevel flow across the effective warm sector, with
localized enhancement to deep-layer flow/shear possible near any
embedded MCVs.
Renewed thunderstorm development will be possible by late
afternoon/early evening near a lee surface trough across the central
High Plains, along a cold front moving into parts of western/central
NE, and near and north of the effective warm front across a broad
region from KS/MO into IL/IN. Moderate to locally strong instability
and effective shear of 30-40 kt will favor multiple organized
thunderstorm clusters capable of damaging winds and large hail. A
seasonably strong low-level jet will also support sufficient
low-level shear for some tornado threat, especially near any
modifying outflow during the late afternoon and early evening.
Uncertainty remains too high to delineate any 5% tornado probability
areas with this outlook, though.
...Southern High Plains...
The Slight Risk has been expanded into a larger portion of the
southern High Plains. The southern extent of stronger midlevel
flow/deep-layer shear is forecast to extend into northern portions
of the TX South Plains. Storm development is expected along the
dryline, with organized multicell clusters and perhaps a couple of
supercells possible by early evening. Severe wind gusts and large
hail will be possible into mid evening before storms weaken as they
move eastward into an increasingly stable environment.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms are possible from parts of the southern/central Plains to the mid Mississippi Valley/Midwest and
Great Lakes Saturday. Damaging wind and hail are the main threats.
...Southern Plains region...
By 12Z Saturday, a cold front will likely extend from a surface low
across western IA southwest through eastern KS into northwest OK and
the southern TX Panhandle. Showers and a few thunderstorms may still
be in progress south of this front from the middle MS Valley through
a portion of OK. However, this activity should gradually diminish
through the morning as the southerly low-level jet veers and
weakens. The warm sector south of these boundaries is expected to
become moderately unstable with up to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE during the
afternoon. This region will reside along the southern periphery of a
positive tilt upper trough. A series of vorticity maxima will move
through the base of this feature and interact with the residual
boundaries. Storms are expected to redevelop along outflow
boundaries and the front from the TX Panhandle through northwest TX
and into OK. Additional storms will spread east off the higher
terrain of NM and into west TX. A belt of somewhat stronger mid
level winds aloft will reside in vicinity of the front and
contribute to 35-40 kt effective bulk shear. Both multicell and a
few supercells are expected with storms eventually congealing into lines/clusters during the evening. Damaging wind gusts and large
hail will be the main threats, especially from late afternoon into
the evening.
...Midwest through Great Lakes...
Shortwave trough currently moving into the central High Plains will
continue slowly east and into the upper MS Valley and Great Lakes
region this period. A surface low associated with this feature is
expected to move from IA into southern WI during the day with a warm
front extending eastward from this feature moving north into the
southern portion of the Great Lakes. It is likely that ongoing areas
of precipitation and clouds, especially along and north of the warm
front, will limit destabilization potential to some degree. However,
some destabilization is expected to develop northward in the moist
warm sector south of the warm front during the afternoon from IA
into southern WI. Thunderstorms are expected to develop near and
south of the surface low along a cold front as the atmosphere
destabilizes during the afternoon. A belt of stronger winds aloft
accompanying the shortwave trough will contribute to up to 40 kt
effective bulk shear with potential for organized storms including a
few supercells with damaging wind, hail as well as a couple of
tornadoes possible. Have expanded the MRGL risk northward to account
for this scenario. Once confidence in more robust boundary layer destabilization is high enough, an upgrade to SLGT category might be
warranted in day 1 updates.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM OZARK
PLATEAU THROUGH THE LOWER/MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY INTO LOWER MICHIGAN...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from Ozark Plateau
through the Lower/Middle Ohio Valley into Lower Michigan Sunday
afternoon.
...Synopsis...
An omega block pattern, with the high centered over southern British
Columbia and the low centered well off the northern CA coast (near
130W) is forecast to be in place over the western CONUS early Sunday
morning. Farther east, an upper trough will likely be in place
across the central CONUS while the western periphery of a building
subtropical ridge is in place over the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
This overall pattern is not expected to change much throughout the
period, aside from some modest weakening of the high centered over
southern British Columbia and very modest dampening of the central
CONUS upper trough. Despite this relatively stagnant upper pattern,
widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated within the moist
air mass in place east of the Rockies. Thunderstorms will likely be
ongoing in the wake of a weakening cold front from the TX Permian
Basin northeastward into the Ozark Plateau early Sunday morning.
Locally enhanced low-level moisture and convergence in the vicinity
of the front will help foster additional storm development
throughout the afternoon and evening. In general, the stronger
mid-level flow and resulting stronger vertical shear is expected to
remain to the north/west of the front, limiting storm
organization/severity. Even so, a few strong to severe storms are
possible from the Ozark Plateau through Mid MS/Lower OH Valleys into
Lower MI where the overlap between buoyancy and vertical shear is
greatest.
Elsewhere, a tropical wave moving across the western Gulf will
contribute to thunderstorms across the western/central Gulf Coast
regions. Also, a series of shortwave troughs moving southward
through the western periphery of the upper trough across central
Rockies will aid in thunderstorm development across CO and NM.

Scattered strong thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon and
evening from the Ozark Plateau northeastward into portions of the
Ohio Valley and lower Michigan. Locally damaging winds are expected
to be the primary threat.
...Ozark Plateau into the OH Valley/lower MI...
A threat of locally damaging winds may develop Sunday afternoon and
evening from the Ozark Plateau northeastward into portions of the OH
Valley and lower MI. Multiple clusters of thunderstorms will likely
evolve along a surface boundary by afternoon, aided by a series of
vorticity maxima embedded within a belt of modestly enhanced
southwesterly midlevel flow. Midlevel lapse rates will be weak, but
the strongest cells/clusters may be capable of locally damaging wind
gusts associated with downbursts and/or consolidated outflows. A
brief tornado cannot be ruled out within this very moist regime, but
any such threat will depend on mesoscale details (regarding
destabilization and low-level shear enhancement) that are still
quite uncertain at this time.
...Northern Maine...
As a midlevel shortwave trough and an associated surface low move
across Quebec during the day, wind profiles will become favorable
for organized convection across northern Maine. However, generally
weak instability and a lack of large-scale ascent may tend to limit
storm coverage, with recent guidance showing little indication of
substantial development south of the international border. If
confidence increases in storm development during the afternoon along
a surface trough, then probabilities may need to be added in
subsequent updates.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
EASTERN/DOWNEAST 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...
Upper ridge anchoring the northwest CONUS/southwest Canada omega
block is expected to persist throughout the day Monday, even as a
shortwave trough progresses through its western periphery. Upper
troughing is forecast to be in place from Ontario southwestward into
NM early Monday. This upper trough is expected to slowly progress
eastward while modest dampening throughout the period. Subtropical
ridging across the eastern CONUS is also expected to remain in
place. In general, a relatively stagnant upper pattern is currently
forecast.
...Ozark Plateau across Mid MS Valley into Lower MI...
A belt of slightly stronger southwesterly flow aloft is anticipated
between the central CONUS troughing and eastern CONUS ridging,
starting over central OK and continuing northeastward through the
Upper Great Lakes. This corridor aligns well with the region of
low-level convergence between the moist, tropical air mass over much
of the MS Valley and eastern CONUS and the more continental air mass
over the northern/central Plains. This low-level convergence is
expected to provide the forcing needed for thunderstorm development
once the air mass destabilizes amid daytime heating. Overall
buoyancy will be limited, tempered by poor lapse rates, and vertical
shear will be modest, even with the slightly stronger mid-level
flow. A few stronger storms are possible but coverage of severe
thunderstorms is currently expected to be too low to merit
introducing any probabilities.
...Maine...
Subtle shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly through the far
northern periphery of the eastern CONUS subtropical ridge. An
associated surface low will precede this shortwave, moving across
eastern Quebec into New Brunswick, while an attendant cold front
pushes eastward across New England.
Mid-level lapse will be relatively poor, but warm and moist low
levels will still support modest instability. As a result, isolated thunderstorms may develop along and ahead of the cold front.
Westerly flow aloft appears strong enough for sporadic updraft
organization and a few damaging wind gusts.

...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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the Edwards Plateau into
central and northeast Texas late Monday night. Severe weather
potential is low.
...Synopsis...
Zonal flow east of the Divide will generally shift eastward Monday.
A low-amplitude shortwave trough will lift northeastward through
northern Mexico into West/Central Texas by Tuesday morning. At the
surface, a cold front initially near the Gulf Coast will likely move
slowly northward in response to the approaching trough. Modest
mid-level ascent and weak low-level warm advection will occur late
in the period from the Edwards Plateau into northeast Texas. As
scattered showers develop overnight Monday, a few embedded
thunderstorms may occur given the weak elevated buoyancy present.
Though shear will be strong, the poor thermodynamic environment will
keep potential for severe weather quite low.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible from the southern
Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Severe weather
is not currently anticipated.
...Synopsis...
Broad upper-level troughing is expected to evolve over much of the
West on Tuesday. A shortwave perturbation is expected to eject into
the southern Plains late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. At the
surface, a cold front should extend from the southern High Plains
into central Texas before arcing northeastward along the upper Texas
Gulf Coast and into the lower Mississippi Valley.
...Southern Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley...
Precipitation is likely to be ongoing early Tuesday morning. Most of
this activity will be occurring on the cool side of the boundary.
This should reinforce the front, though some modest northward
progression of warmer, moist air may occur within the coastal plain
regions. Potential for surface-based storms south of the boundary in
southeast Texas/Sabine Valley vicinity appears low as the low-level
jet will weaken during the morning/afternoon and mid-level ascent
will be weak. Furthermore, forecast soundings indicate poor lapse
rates in the column and warm layers that will inhibit updraft
intensity. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, additional
isolated to scattered storms are possible from the Edwards Plateau
into Central/Northeast Texas as mid-level forcing and 850 mb warm
advection increases. Again, these storms will be elevated on the
cool side of the boundary. The strongest of these storms could
produce small hail. The overall severe threat appears too
isolated/uncertain for unconditional probabilities.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
EASTERN LOUISIANA INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND PARTS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL ALABAMA...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms will be possible Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday
night from the Sabine Valley vicinity into far western Georgia.
...Synopsis...
A shortwave trough pivoting through the southern High Plains will
begin to intensify by Wednesday afternoon as it approaches the
mid-Mississippi Valley. A surface cyclone will evolve along a
southward-surging cold front in the southern Plains. The surface low
will deepen more substantially by late afternoon in the
mid-Mississippi Valley as it moves quickly north and east. Richer
Gulf moisture will return into the Southeast and may reach as far
north as portions of Tennessee. The cold front will sweep through
the Southeast beginning in the late afternoon and into Thursday
morning.
...Lower MS Valley/Central Gulf Coast States...
Warm advection precipitation will likely be ongoing along the
surface boundary Wednesday morning. Models vary on the spatial
extent of precipitation with the ECMWF generally showing less
clearing during the afternoon than other models. Available CAM
guidance also shows similar variability. In terms of environment,
low/mid 60s F dewpoints should reach through much of
Alabama/Mississippi. Upper 60s F dewpoints are expected in southern Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama, but could potentially push as far
north as central Mississippi/Alabama as strong advection continues
into the evening. Effective shear of 50-60 kts will favor organized storms/bowing segments. This shear will initially be roughly
parallel to the front, but, as the front surges southeast, shear
vectors will have a greater cross-boundary component. Strong
low-level shear will also be in place with a 45-55 kt low-level jet
moving from Louisiana during the morning into Mississippi/Alabama
during the afternoon.
The current expectation is for morning storms near the Sabine Valley
to gradually intensify as they move northeast into a modestly
destabilizing boundary-layer. How these storms evolve is uncertain.
Damaging winds are a likely hazard, but, depending on storm mode and
the degree of heating in Mississippi, could also pose a similar risk
for tornadoes. Storms along the front are not likely to make much
progress southeastward until the late afternoon. As the front moves,
convective transport of the strong wind fields will promote damaging
winds and strong low-level shear will bring a risk for embedded circulations/QLCS tornadoes. Discrete development ahead of the front
during the evening is possible given strong theta-e advection and
weak capping, but synoptic ascent will be displaced north which
reduces confidence in that scenario. Surface-based storms become
much less likely into Tennessee and Georgia.
