    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES...AND PORTIONS OF THE
    SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today across
    the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes and parts of the Southeast.
    Damaging winds and marginally severe hail are the primary risks.

    ...20Z Update...
    The Marginal risk in the Lower Great Lakes was trimmed behind the eastward-moving frontal band of convection. Elsewhere, the forecast
    remains on track and minimal changes were made with this update. For
    details on the near-term severe risk, reference MCDs #512 and #513.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1124 AM CDT Mon Apr 21 2025/

    ...Upper OH Valley...
    Morning surface analysis and satellite imagery show a cold front
    sweeping eastward across OH. Considerable cloud cover is present
    ahead of the front, but a narrow corridor of heating immediately
    ahead of the front will allow a period of heating - promoting
    scattered thunderstorms. Low-level moisture is limited with
    dewpoints only in the 50s, and forecast soundings show CAPE values
    generally below 1000 J/kg. Nevertheless, strong low and mid-level
    winds and considerable vertical shear will promote a risk of a few organized/severe storms capable of damaging wind gusts and perhaps a
    tornado or two. Refer to upcoming MCD #511 for further details.

    ...LA/MS/AL/GA/TN...
    The aforementioned surface cold front extends southeastward across
    west TN. A relatively moist air mass is present ahead of the front
    from southeast LA into parts of MS/AL and middle/east TN, although
    considerable cloud cover will limit heating. Most 12z models
    suggest scattered thunderstorms will form in this zone during the
    late afternoon and evening, with sufficient CAPE for a few robust
    updrafts. Low and mid level winds are not particularly strong, and
    large scale forcing is weak. This should limit the overall
    organization and severity of storms, but a few cells may produce
    gusty winds and hail.

    ...SD...
    Water vapor imagery shows a mid-level shortwave trough over WY
    approaching SD. Forcing ahead of this feature will likely lead to
    scattered high-based showers and thunderstorms across eastern WY and western/central SD this afternoon and evening. There is some chance
    that a storm or two could produce locally damaging wind gusts.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong storms may develop across portions of Iowa later
    tonight, but hail should generally remain below severe levels.

    ...01z Update...

    Notable short-wave trough is currently located over the northern
    High Plains. This feature is shifting east as a 500mb speed max
    translates across SD toward northern IA. Scattered weak convection
    is noted ahead of this feature, arcing from eastern SD into
    northeast NE. LLJ should increase across eastern NE/western IA this
    evening in response to the short wave, and a corridor of low-level
    warm advection should aid additional convection downstream. Forecast
    soundings suggest elevated buoyancy will increase such that robust
    updrafts are possible. While steep lapse rates favor hail
    production, instability may be a bit too weak to warrant more than
    marginally severe hail. For these reasons will not introduce severe probabilities

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible across
    portions of the southern and central Plains.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...

    Neutral to weak height rises are forecast across most of the CONUS
    today as stronger westerlies have relaxed and lifted north to near
    the international border. As a result, slower-moving disturbances
    and weaker shear will be observed across higher-instability regions.
    Even so, isolated-scattered robust thunderstorms are expected later
    today along the western-northern periphery of moisture return,
    mainly across the Plains. Latest model guidance suggests 850mb flow
    will increase across western TX into southern KS as a lee trough
    gradually strengthens across this portion of the Plains. While
    moisture is somewhat scant at this time, PW values will gradually
    increase and modest instability should develop by peak heating near
    the sharpening dry line. Very steep lapse rates will prove favorable
    for robust updrafts as moisture returns to this corridor of
    increasing low-level convergence. Forecast soundings suggest
    adequate 0-6km bulk shear for organized updrafts and isolated
    supercells are possible. Large hail and gusty winds are the primary
    concerns. Any storms that form over KS may have some longevity as a
    weak disturbance could aid this activity into the overnight hours.

    ...Elsewhere...

    Large-scale pattern favors a zone of low-level confluence from the
    lower Sabine River Valley into the central Gulf States today. While
    deep-layer flow is not strong, multi-cell updrafts/clusters are
    expected within an air mass characterized by MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg
    and modest mid-level lapse rates. Gusty winds and some hail are the
    primary risks.

    Another region where a few strong storms are expected is along the
    weak surface front in the lee of the Appalachians across NC. Diurnal
    heating will prove instrumental in convective development, and
    forecast shear is more than adequate for organized multi-cell
    updrafts capable of generating some wind, and perhaps some hail.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible across
    parts of the southern/central Plains, mainly this afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and severe gusts should be the main threats.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    Stronger westerly flow aloft should remain confined to the northern
    tier of the CONUS today, and to the north of the surface warm
    sector. Multiple weak mid-level disturbances may drift eastward
    across the southern/central High Plains through this evening, with
    fairly modest mid-level flow for late April standards. At the
    surface, a front will extend from parts of the Upper Midwest to
    southwest KS near a weak surface low. A dryline will extend
    southward from this low over the southern High Plains. Some eastward
    mixing of the dryline is forecast by late afternoon, especially
    across the OK/TX Panhandles. Otherwise, little movement of the front
    is anticipated through this evening.

    Both of these surface boundaries should provide some focus for
    convective development this afternoon and evening, even with
    large-scale forcing for ascent remaining rather nebulous. Weak to
    locally moderate instability should develop through the afternoon
    with diurnal heating of a partially modified Gulf airmass. Even
    though west-southwesterly mid-level flow is expected to remain
    fairly modest, weak low-level winds gradually veering/strengthening
    with height though mid/upper levels should support sufficient
    deep-layer shear for some updraft organization. A mix of widely
    spaced supercells and multicells may eventually develop along both
    the front and dryline, with uncertainty remaining rather high about
    favored locations for robust convective development. Regardless,
    this activity could pose a threat for isolated to scattered large
    hail given steep lapse rates aloft. Any clusters that can evolve
    through the late afternoon and evening may also have some severe
    wind threat given steep low-level lapse rates. Some trimming was
    made to the northwest extent of severe probabilities based on the
    forecast position of the front/dryline later today.

    ...Southeast to the Carolinas...
    A weak front draped southwest to northeast is forecast to move
    little today across the Southeast. Generally modest
    west-southwesterly mid-level flow is expected to prevail, with
    slightly stronger winds aloft forecast over the Carolinas. This
    should tend to limit deep-layer shear and convective
    organization/intensity. Still, with some destabilization forecast
    and fairly cool temperatures aloft, any clusters of convection that
    can develop along/south of the front may pose an isolated threat for
    damaging winds and perhaps marginally severe hail. Based on latest observational and guidance trends showing greater thunderstorm
    coverage this afternoon across parts of AL into northern GA, have
    connected the two Marginal Risk areas with this update.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible across
    parts of the southern/central Plains, mainly this afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and severe gusts should be the main threats.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows broad zonal flow across the
    central US, with the main upper jet across the northern states.
    Mostly clear skies and southerly low-level winds across much of west
    TX/OK and central KS will help to destabilize the air mass along a
    developing dryline, leading to afternoon MLCAPE values around 1500
    J/kg and minimal cap. Large scale forcing is weak, but dryline
    circulations will likely lead to scattered afternoon and early
    evening thunderstorm development. Relatively slow-moving storms
    capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts are expected. Several
    12z CAM solutions suggest upscale growth of convection over
    northwest TX after dark, with some risk of strong/severe storms
    reaching central TX overnight.

    ...IA/MO/IL...
    A weak surface boundary extends across southern IA this morning.
    The southern fringe of stronger westerly flow aloft lies across this
    region, with water vapor imagery suggesting a subtle shortwave
    trough over NE approaching the region. A few thunderstorms are
    expected to form along the boundary by late afternoon/early evening,
    with some risk of hail and gusty winds in the strongest storms.

    ...Southeast States...
    A diffuse surface boundary extends from LA northeastward across
    MS/AL/GA into the Carolinas. Ample low and mid-level moisture along
    the boundary will lead to scattered afternoon thunderstorms.
    Forecast soundings show relatively weak low-level winds and poor
    mid-level lapse rates. While a few storms could produce gusty
    winds, organized severe storm risk appears marginal today.

    ...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    ARKANSAS INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A tornado outbreak is ongoing across parts of the lower Mississippi
    Valley into the Mid-South and lower Ohio Valley. Numerous tornadoes,
    along with multiple EF3+ tornadoes, remain likely. Additionally,
    tornadoes, significant severe wind gusts, and large hail to very
    large hail remain possible across a broad area from north Texas
    northeastward to the southern Great Lakes.

    ...01z Update...

    An elongated corridor of severe thunderstorms has evolved from
    southern Arkansas, northeast across the Boot Heel of Missouri into
    northern Indiana. Numerous tornadic supercells are noted along this
    zone, especially across the High Risk area from southern Arkansas
    into southern Illinois. Multiple long-lived tornadoes have likely
    produced significant damage in places, and this threat will continue
    into the late evening/overnight hours.

    Intense LLJ is forecast to translate across the western Tennessee
    Valley into the lower Great Lakes, and this will contribute to a
    northeastward shift of organized convection after midnight as the
    primary short-wave trough ejects toward lower Michigan.
    Environmental parameters continue to favor strong tornadoes and
    damaging winds, along with large hail.

    Upstream across Texas, a secondary low-latitude short-wave trough
    will approach far West Texas late in the period. In response to this
    feature, LLJ is forecast to increase across the Edwards Plateau by
    03/06z, and strengthening is expected as the LLJ shifts toward the
    I35 corridor by sunrise. Significant destabilization is expected
    into north-central Texas late as moisture surges north. As a result,
    supercells are expected to develop and spread east-northeast.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    ARKLATEX REGION INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected along/near a frontal zone from the
    southern Plains into the Tennessee Valley region. The most
    concentrated corridor will be from the Arklatex into western
    Tennessee were very large hail and a few strong tornadoes are
    possible.

    ...Southern Plains to the Tennessee Valley Region...

    Western U.S. trough continues to settle south with the strongest
    flow now extending across northern Mexico within the base of this
    feature. As a result, latest model guidance suggests broad height
    rises will occur across much of the CONUS today with the only
    appreciable falls expected over northern Mexico and across New
    England. Even so, at least one notable disturbance will eject into
    the southern Plains during the day1 period. Latest water-vapor
    imagery suggests a short wave is approaching far West TX, as a new
    baroclinic leaf is beginning to mature immediately downstream from
    NM into northeast Mexico. In response, southeasterly 1km winds are
    increasing across much of TX and 50kt LLJ should focus into the
    Arklatex by daybreak. In the absence of appreciable large-scale
    ascent, LLJ will likely modulate convective processes much of the
    period; although, diurnal heating will also contribute south of the
    synoptic front.

    Early this morning, synoptic front extends across western KY-central AR-southwest TX. Seasonally high PW values (1.5-1.8 inches) will
    extend along this frontal zone from TX into the TN Valley, and
    modestly steep mid-level lapse rates will persist along this
    corridor. As a result, forecast soundings exhibit substantial MUCAPE
    north of the wind shift, with SBCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg, just
    south of the synoptic front by mid afternoon. Strong/severe elevated
    convection is expected to develop prior to the start of the period
    along the nose of the LLJ. Supercells could certainly produce
    large/very large hail given thermodynamic profiles. Latest thinking
    is the frontal zone will move very little through the period and a
    sharp demarcation between surface-based and elevated convection will
    be noted. Of particular concern will be the updrafts that generate
    along, just south of the wind shift across the Arklatex by mid
    afternoon. Deep-layer flow favors updrafts tracking along the
    frontal zone, and low-level shear will be maximized within a very
    moist and strongly sheared environment. In addition to very large
    hail, a few strong tornadoes may develop with supercells that
    maintain their surface-based inflow.

    LLJ will gradually lift across the TN Valley into the OH Valley
    during the latter half of the period, then increase again across TX
    late. Lack of meaningful forcing across much of the eastern TN
    Valley region suggests diurnal heating will be the primary
    instigator in robust convective development.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE COASTAL SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are expected this afternoon across parts of
    northern Florida and southern/eastern Georgia to the Carolinas.

    ...Northern Florida and southern/eastern Georgia to Carolinas...
    The region will be influenced by an upstream positive-tilt trough
    with strong deep-layer flow extending into the warm sector across
    the Southeast, where a moderately moist airmass resides beneath
    relatively poor lapse rates aloft. Preceding a
    northeastward-transitioning sub-synoptic low, a
    northeast/southwest-oriented broken line/cluster of storms exists
    across east-central Georgia to south-central/southwest Georgia and
    the eastern Florida Panhandle as of midday. Multiple radar TDSs have
    recently (mid/late morning) been observed in southwest Georgia and
    the eastern Florida Panhandle within Tornado Watch 133.

    A moist air mass exists ahead of these storms with near 70F
    dewpoints across northern Florida into Georgia, and 60s F dewpoints
    into the Carolinas coincident with ample heating/insolation
    especially for coastal areas. Some additional strengthening of
    already strong (45+ kt) southwesterly winds in the 1-3km AGL layer,
    oriented largely parallel to the ongoing convective line, will
    continue to support embedded supercells and bows capable of
    tornadoes and damaging winds through the afternoon, with the overall
    potential expected to diminish by around sunset.

    Deeper convection is also expected to expand north/northeastward
    along the front as it moves into the Carolina Piedmont. A linear
    convective mode is expected with damaging gusts as the primary
    severe risk. The strength of the low-level flow suggests some
    tornado potential will also exist.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are expected this afternoon across parts of
    northern Florida and southeastern Georgia to the eastern Carolinas.

    ...North FL to eastern NC the remainder of the afternoon...
    The earlier supercell structures have largely weakened across north FL/southeast GA, though newer bowing segments have formed and are
    moving across eastern NC with recent severe gusts of 60-64 mph.
    Forcing for ascent is modest well downstream of a positive-tilt
    midlevel trough over the lower MS Valley, and the ongoing convection
    is ahead of the surface cold front. Sufficient buoyancy (MLCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg) and steep low-level lapse rates will help maintain
    the ongoing storms for the remainder of the afternoon from north FL
    to eastern NC. Damaging gusts (60-70 mph) will be the main threat
    with bowing segments with more north-south oriented segments in the
    primarily unidirectional wind profiles, though a couple of tornadoes
    remain possible before the severe threat diminishes this evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    NORTH FLORIDA INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS AND FAR SOUTHEAST
    VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur this afternoon and
    evening from parts of north Florida and far southeast Georgia to the
    eastern Carolinas and far southeast Virginia.

    ...North Florida to the Eastern Carolinas and Far Southeast
    Virginia...
    A mid-level trough will continue amplifying today over the southern Appalachians as one embedded speed maximum rotates northeastward
    over the Carolinas, and an upstream shortwave trough digs
    southeastward from the mid MS Valley into the Southeast. An
    associated weak surface low will develop northeastward across
    eastern NC and far southeast VA, while a trailing cold front moves southeastward into north FL. Surface dewpoints generally in the low
    to mid 50s, in combination with daytime heating beneath cold
    mid-level temperatures, will support MLCAPE up to 500 J/kg with
    minimal convective inhibition. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms
    should develop this afternoon near the cyclone track across the
    eastern Carolinas, and along the front in north FL. The weak
    instability and relatively straight hodographs aloft suggest some
    updraft organization will be possible, with an isolated threat for
    hail and strong to damaging winds this afternoon/evening.

    A few low-topped thunderstorms should also occur this afternoon over
    the southern Appalachians. However, buoyancy and deep-layer shear
    will be weaker compared to areas farther east/southeast, with a
    limited overall severe threat.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
    FLORIDA NORTHWARD TO SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorm potential will continue this
    afternoon and evening from parts of north Florida and far southeast
    Georgia to the eastern Carolinas and far southeast Virginia.

    ...Discussion...
    The ongoing forecast continues to reflect the evolving convective
    scenario across parts of the southeastern CONUS. Within the broader
    area of convection across this region, the strongest storms ongoing
    at this time are indicated across portions central and eastern North
    Carolina, where 500 to 1000 J/kg surface-based CAPE has evolved as a
    result of afternoon heating beneath cool mid-level temperatures.

    Meanwhile, an increase in convection is occurring from southern
    Georgia across north Florida and into the Panhandle, along a weak
    surface front. Limited/local severe risk may evolve across this
    region in the next 1 to 2 hours.

    Overall, any ongoing severe threat is forecast to diminish diurnally
    this evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected this evening from
    parts of the Atlantic Seaboard south-southwestward into northern and
    central Florida.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The latest water vapor shows a trough over the eastern U.S. with
    several minor perturbations embedded in the trough. At the surface,
    a low is located off the coast of Virginia, with a cold front
    extending south-southwestward from near the coast of North Carolina
    into northern Florida. Thunderstorm development will be possible
    along and near the front this evening. A strong thunderstorm will be
    possible near an axis of instability over the north-central Florida
    Peninsula over the next hour or two. However, the airmass will
    become more stable, limiting the potential for a severe threat.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated severe gusts are possible from the Big
    Horns to the Black Hills from this afternoon into the evening.

    ...Southeast Montana/Northern Wyoming/Western South Dakota...
    A shortwave mid-level trough will move eastward across the Pacific
    Northwest today, as an associated 50 to 60 knot jet streak
    translates eastward into the northern Rockies. Ahead of the trough,
    a surface low will deepen across eastern Wyoming, which will
    increase low-level convergence across parts of the northern High
    Plains. Surface dewpoints in the 40s F will contribute to weak
    destabilization. As surface temperatures warm, thunderstorm
    development is first expected in the Big Horn Mountains during the
    early afternoon, with these storms moving eastward into the lower
    elevations of southeast Montana. Additional storms will likely
    develop in northern Wyoming, closer to the mid-level speed max. RAP
    forecast soundings near the Montana-Wyoming state line by mid to
    late afternoon have MLCAPE increasing to around 500 J/kg, with 0-6
    km shear near 55 knots, and 0-3 km lapse rates in the 9.5 to 10 C/km
    range. This environment should support a threat for severe wind
    gusts within the stronger downdrafts, with the greatest severe
    threat occurring in the late afternoon and early evening.

    Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints are in the lower to mid 40s F
    from near the Wyoming-Montana state line extending northward across
    parts of southeast Montana. In this vicinity, the RAP has a maximum
    of weak instability with MLCAPE near 300 J/kg. In addition, RAP
    forecast soundings this evening in far southeast Montana have 60 to
    70 knots of 0-6 km shear, and steep low-level lapse rates exceeding
    8 C/km. This environment may support marginally severe gusts

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm development will be possible on Sunday from the upper
    Mississippi Valley into the Great Lakes, and from the Intermountain
    West to the central High Plains. No severe threat is expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    At mid-levels, a ridge will move through the Great Lakes and lower
    to mid Mississippi Valley, as a shortwave trough moves through the
    northern High Plains. At the surface, a low will move into the mid
    Missouri Valley as a cold front advances southeastward through the
    central Plains. Head of the front, an axis of low-level moisture
    will be in place from the Ozarks northward into Minnesota. Surface
    dewpoints are expected to be in the 40s F over the upper Mississippi
    Valley, where weak destabilization is expected. Along the northern
    part of the instability axis, isolated thunderstorm development will
    be possible during the day in parts of south-central Minnesota and
    western Wisconsin. In this area, instability will be elevated and
    mid-level lapse rates will be steep, suggesting that small hail will
    be possible with the stronger cells. Elsewhere, isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms, sub-severe in nature, are expected this
    afternoon from parts of eastern Utah eastward into the central High
    Plains.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WEST
    VIRGINIA AND VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms ongoing this afternoon will
    continue through early tonight from the Upper Ohio Valley eastward
    to the Mid-Atlantic. Large hail, severe wind gusts, and a couple of
    tornadoes are likely.

    ...20z Update OH Valley and Appalachians...
    Afternoon satellite imagery shows several areas of convection
    developing beneath a broad upper low over parts of the Midwest,
    Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Initial storms across IN/OH/KY will
    continue to mature as the cold front moves east. Upper 50s to low
    60s F dewpoints and steep mid-level lapse rates beneath the upper
    low will support around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE. 40-50 kt of effective
    shear, but veered low-level flow will support a mix of supercells
    and linear clusters. Hail and damaging winds appear likely, along
    with a risk for a couple tornadoes. Storms will spread east into the
    Mid Atlantic this evening, mainly with a risk for damaging gusts.
    Minimal changes were made to the outlook area on the western edge to
    capture storm development farther west along the front.

    ...Midwest...
    Near the core of a secondary vort max over the northern Plains,
    broad-scale ascent was supporting scattered low-topped convection
    across parts of SD, NE, and northwestern IA. Strong mid-level flow
    will continue to move south as a mid-level jet intensifies. Despite
    the limited surface moisture, the relatively cold mid-level
    temperatures and strong ascent will favor some threat for small hail
    and damaging gusts with shallow storms. Have adjusted the Marginal
    southward across central IA where weak buoyancy (MUCAPE 200-300
    J/kg) may allow storms with damaging gust potential to persist
    farther south this evening.

    ..Lyons.. 04/14/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Mon Apr 14 2025/

    ...Upper OH Valley this afternoon into VA early tonight...
    Recent satellite imagery depicts a maturing mid-latitude cyclone
    moving eastward across Lake Superior towards northeastern Ontario
    with an upstream shortwave trough moving through the northern
    Plains. Expectation is for the cyclone to continue
    deepening/maturing as it moves into and through northeastern Ontario
    today, while the upstream shortwave progresses quickly southeastward
    through the Mid MO Valley and into the Mid MS Valley. As this
    occurs, strong mid-level flow will spread eastward across the OH
    Valley and over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.

    At the same time, a cold front will spread eastward across the OH
    Valley this afternoon and evening, and across the central
    Appalachians tonight. Current surface analysis reveals upper 40s to
    low 50s dewpoints ahead of the front in the Middle OH Valley, with
    the upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints farther southwest over western KY.
    This greater low-level moisture is expected to surge northeastward
    amid the moderate southwesterly low-level flow, combining with evapotranspiration to bring upper 50s dewpoints into upper OH Valley
    ahead of the front.

    This increase in low-level moisture combined with daytime heating
    should be enough to destabilize the airmass ahead of the front
    across the Upper OH Valley. Forcing for ascent (from a combination
    of increasing large-scale ascent and forcing along the front) will
    increase across this destabilized area, supporting thunderstorm
    development during the afternoon. An initially cellular mode is
    anticipated, with steep mid-level lapse rates and long hodographs
    potentially resulting in a few supercells. Primary severe risk with
    these supercells is large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter. Some
    damaging gusts and a tornado or two are possible, although the lack
    of higher low-level moisture will mitigate the overall tornado
    potential. Strong outflow and increasing mid-level flow suggest a
    transition to a more linear mode is likely, with several bowing
    segments possible. There is also some potential for the development
    of a singular, more coherent convective line. In either case, a
    transition from hail to damaging gusts as the primary severe risk is anticipated as this activity spreads eastward. Clusters/line
    segments will likely persist east of the Appalachians into VA
    through early tonight, though the severe threat will diminish with
    eastward extent and after 03z.

    ...SD to IA this afternoon/evening...
    Low-level moisture will be limited, but surface heating beneath
    cooling midlevel temperatures will support weak surface-based
    buoyancy and the potential for low-topped showers and a few
    thunderstorms from SD into IA (in advance of a digging shortwave
    trough now over western ND/eastern MT). Relatively cold temperature
    profiles will favor some threat for small hail, while steep
    low-level lapse rates and 30+ kt flow through the mixed layer favor
    gusty outflow winds of 40-50 mph.

    the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic, with severe wind gusts
    and large hail as the primary threats.

    ...Central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic...
    The latest water vapor imagery shows a ridge along the Atlantic
    Seaboard and a trough in the mid Missouri Valley. A plume of
    mid-level moisture extends east-northeastward from the trough along
    a fetch of west-southwesterly flow from the mid Mississippi Valley
    into the Northeast. At the surface, a trough is located in the lee
    of the Appalachians, with a cold front moving southeastward through
    the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Ahead of the front, surface
    dewpoints are mostly in the 50s F, and instability is weak with
    MLCAPE in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range, analyzed by the RAP. Within
    this pocket of weak instability, scattered severe storms are ongoing
    from eastern Kentucky into West Virginia, and western Virginia. At
    500 mb, a broad belt of 60 to 80 knots of flow is located across the
    southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, which is contributing to
    strong deep-layer shear. This shear combined with the weak
    instability will continue to be favorable for a severe threat this
    evening. The more intense discrete cells could be supercellular with
    a potential for large hail. The stronger storms will also be capable
    of producing wind damage. If a short bowing line segment can
    organize, then the potential for severe wind gusts could
    increase...see MCDs 451 and 452.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN
    PENNSYLVANIA AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated wind damage will be possible this afternoon across eastern Pennsylvania and vicinity.

    ...Northeast today...
    A 110 kt 500-mb jet streak will pivot eastward from the OH Valley to
    the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, around the southern
    periphery of an occluding cyclone over southern QC. An associated
    surface cold front will likewise move eastward to the Atlantic coast
    during the day. In the post-frontal environment, steepening
    low-level lapse rates and rapidly cooling midlevel temperatures will
    support weak surface-based buoyancy (SBCAPE of 100-300 J/kg) of
    sufficient depth for charge separation/isolated lightning flashes.
    The steep low-level lapse rates and weak downdrafts will augment
    30-40 kt flow in the mixed layer and contribute to surface gusts of
    45-60 mph, with the potential for minor wind damage.

    ...Elsewhere...
    Isolated lightning flashes will be possible this afternoon/evening
    from southwest CO into northern NM and vicinity, within a modest
    midlevel moisture plume where weak buoyancy will be possible with
    afternoon heating. Isolated thunderstorms may also occur over the
    Sierra Nevada and east Texas.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms will be possible today in parts of the Northeast, Four
    Corners, south-central Rockies and from western Nevada into
    California. No severe weather is expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    At mid-levels, a ridge will move eastward into the south-central
    U.S. today, as a trough moves into the eastern states. Isolated
    thunderstorms will be possible in parts of the Northeast as surface temperatures warm, and as a band of strong large-scale ascent moves
    from west to east across the region. In the western states, a
    shortwave trough will move northeastward into the Four Corners.
    Ahead of the trough, isolated thunderstorm development will take
    place today from the Four Corners eastward into the south-central
    Rockies. A few storms may also develop from the Sierras into
    northern California, ahead a mid-level low that will approach the
    coast of California. No severe weather is expected today or tonight
    across the continental U.S.

    Within the base of an eastward-moving large-scale trough over the
    eastern CONUS, a related 100+ kt midlevel jet streak will pivot
    eastward across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast today. Ascent in the
    left-exit region of the jet will promote widely scattered,

    Despite limited post-frontal boundary-layer moisture, diurnal
    heating beneath very cold midlevel temperatures will continue to
    steepen low-level lapse rates amid strengthening low/mid-level
    winds. This environment will support locally damaging convective
    wind gusts (45-60 mph) through the afternoon -- especially with any

    Isolated high-based thunderstorms are expected across parts of the
    Four Corners and southern CO this afternoon, where midlevel moisture
    atop a diurnally deepening boundary layer will yield inverted-V
    profiles. As a result, a couple locally strong downbursts cannot be

    The prior outlooks remains largely unchanged with only minor
    modifications. Broad-scale ascent beneath the upper low over the
    Eastern US is supporting scattered, but shallow convection across
    the Northeast and New England. Low-topped thunderstorms will likely
    continue to pose a risk for occasional damaging gusts this
    afternoon. Limited moisture, and resulting buoyancy will continue to
    be the limiting factor for more sustained/stronger storms. Have
    trimmed the western extent of the Thunder area over parts of PA/OH.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms, with a primary threat of large hail,
    are possible this evening into tonight from parts of the southern
    and central Plains into the lower to mid Missouri Valley.

    ...Southern and Central Plains/Lower to Mid Missouri Valley...
    A mid-level ridge will move eastward across the Great Plains today,
    as a surface low develops across northern Nebraska. In the wake of
    the ridge, moisture advection will increase across the southern and
    central Plains from late afternoon into the evening. By
    00Z/Thursday, a moist axis will be located from central Oklahoma
    into central Kansas where surface dewpoints are forecast to be
    mostly in the 50s F. Early this evening, a 40 to 50 knot low-level
    jet is forecast to rapidly develop from western Oklahoma into
    west-central Kansas. Lift associated with the jet and low-level
    convergence near the dryline may be enough for isolated convective
    initiation. If storms can initiate and grow upscale, then isolated
    large hail and marginally severe gusts will be possible, aided by
    steep 700-500 mb lapse rates. During the mid to late evening, the
    potential for isolated thunderstorms capable of producing hail will
    likely develop eastward across parts of east-central Kansas and
    southeast Nebraska. As warm advection increases overnight, the hail
    threat may eventually affect parts of western Missouri and southwest
    Nebraska.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    THE ARKLATEX INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are likely today along/near a frontal zone from
    the southern Plains into the lower Mississippi and Tennessee
    Valleys. The most concentrated corridor for severe potential should
    be focused from the Arklatex into western/middle Tennessee, where
    very large hail and a few strong tornadoes are possible.

    ...Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley/Mid-South and
    Southern Mid-Atlantic...
    Within broad upper troughing over the western CONUS, ascent
    associated with an embedded mid-level shortwave trough has
    encouraged multiple elevated supercells across west into
    north-central TX this morning along/north of a surface front. These thunderstorms are also being aided with continued moisture transport
    by a southerly low-level jet. With ample MUCAPE along/north of the
    front, steep mid-level lapse rates, and strong cloud-layer shear all
    present, these supercells should continue to pose a threat for
    mainly large to perhaps very large hail for at least a couple more
    hours. By late morning to early afternoon, thunderstorm interactions
    and mergers may gradually reduce the severe hail threat north of the
    front across OK/TX into AR.

    With neutral to slightly rising mid-level heights, the convectively
    reinforced front is forecast to move little today across the
    ArkLaTex, Mid-South, and TN Valley. Ongoing convection this morning
    across middle/eastern TN into eastern KY may pose an isolated severe
    threat in the short term. But, most of this activity has outpaced
    greater low-level moisture to the southwest, and/or has become
    slightly elevated to the north of the front. Even though large-scale
    ascent will tend to remain nebulous/weak across these areas,
    persistent low-level warm advection should aid in renewed
    thunderstorm development along/near the stalled front through the
    afternoon and evening. Any convection which can form on or just
    south of this boundary will have a rather favorably moist low-level
    airmass, steep lapse rates aloft, and strong deep-layer shear to
    support organized updrafts. Large to very large hail will be a
    threat with supercells that are forecast to develop, and a tornado
    threat will likely exist with any convection that can remain surface
    based/to the warm side of the front. With rather strong low-level
    shear forecast, a conditionally favorable environment will exist for
    strong tornadoes, with continued uncertainty whether supercells this afternoon/evening will be mainly surface based, or slightly elevated
    north of the front.

    Across the central Appalachians and southern Mid-Atlantic, remnants
    of convection and related outflow boundaries from earlier this
    morning should tend to serve as a northern limit to any appreciable
    severe threat today. Some adjustments have been made to the Marginal
    and Slight Risk areas to account for this. Overall thunderstorm
    coverage and intensity remain rather uncertain across these regions
    later this afternoon and evening, with some guidance still showing
    isolated thunderstorms redeveloping. If any convection can form
    along/south of the front later today, then it could pose some threat
    for hail and damaging winds.

    Finally, elevated supercells are forecast to develop once again late
    tonight into early Friday morning across parts of west into
    north-central TX. These should mainly have a severe hail threat.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are likely today along a frontal zone from the
    southern Plains into the lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys.
    The most concentrated corridor for severe potential should be
    focused from the ArkLaTex across the Mid-South into Middle
    Tennessee. Large hail, damaging winds, and a few strong tornadoes
    are all possible.

    ...Southern Plains/Mid-South/Tennessee Valley...
    With a prominent upper trough over the West, strong southwesterly
    winds aloft will overlie areas along/north of a frontal zone
    extending from the middle part of Texas into the ArkLaTex/Mid-South, east-northeastward to the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic
    States. With neutral to slightly rising mid-level heights, the
    convectively reinforced front is forecast to move little today
    across the ArkLaTex, Mid-South, and Tennessee Valley.

    Even though large-scale ascent will tend to remain somewhat nebulous
    near the front and southward into the warm sector, persistent
    low-level warm advection should aid in renewed thunderstorm
    development along/near the stalled front through the afternoon and
    evening. Any convection which can form on or just south of this
    boundary will have a rather favorably moist low-level airmass, steep
    lapse rates aloft, and strong deep-layer shear to support organized
    updrafts.

    A notable diurnal strengthening of the low-level jet /45-55 kt/ is
    expected today across the ArkLaTex to the Mid-South/Lower
    Mississippi Valley, where it will impinge on the west/southwest to east/northeast-oriented effective front. This is concerning
    regarding supercell tornado potential later today, some of which
    could be strong (EF2+) given the magnitudes of the
    deep-layer/low-level shear and moisture-rich environment with
    surface dewpoints in the upper 60s/near 70F. That said, some
    modal/mesoscale uncertainties still persist as to warm-sector
    development and the coverage and longevity of surface-based
    supercells, with convection potentially tending to be more
    prevalent/likely just north of the effective front. Otherwise, large
    to very large hail will be a threat with the expected supercellular
    development along/north of the front, with upscale-growing clusters
    posing a damaging wind threat as well.

    ...West-central/North Texas and southern Oklahoma late tonight...
    Elevated supercells are expected to again develop late tonight
    (after midnight CDT) and early Friday as forcing for ascent
    increases to the north of the surface front. These storms will pose
    a large hail threat, and possibly some severe-wind potential as
    well, particularly if elevated bow echo development occurs as storms
    spread northeastward within a highly sheared environment.

    ...Central Appalachians to Mid-Atlantic/Delmarva...
    Remnants of convection and related outflow boundaries will serve as
    a northern limit to any appreciable severe threat today. While some
    details remain uncertain, any storms that develop along/south of the
    front could pose risks for hail and damaging winds.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
    AFTERNOON/EVENING FROM NORTHEAST TX TO MIDDLE TN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms will continue to form and move along a stalled
    frontal zone from northeast Texas into middle Tennessee and southern
    Kentucky through late evening, with the possibility of very large
    hail and a couple of strong tornadoes. Very large hail will be
    possible after midnight from southwest Texas into cnetral Texas and
    southern Oklahoma.

    ...Northeast TX to middle TN/southern KY this afternoon/evening...
    Severe storms are developing along and to the immediate cool side of
    a rain-reinforced baroclinic zone from northeast TX across AR and
    middle TN/southern KY. Initial storm motions will tend to carry the
    convection to the cool side of the boundary (especially across AR),
    though there is some potential for surface-based supercells to form
    and move along the wind shift. The warm sector to the south is
    characterized by boundary-layer dewpoints ranging from mid 60s F
    across TN/KY to low 70s F from northeast TX into southern AR. The
    rich moisture and surface temperatures warming into the low-mid 80s
    beneath 7-8.5 C/km midlevel lapse rates maintain MLCAPE ranging from
    1500 J/kg east to 3000+ in northeast TX/northern LA. Deep-layer
    vertical shear/hodograph length is more than sufficient for
    sustained supercells, while substantial low-level hodograph
    curvature (effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2) and the moist boundary
    layer will support the potential for a couple of strong tornadoes
    with supercells moving along the boundary. Otherwise, large hail of
    1.5-2.5 inches in diameter will be possible with both the
    surface-based and elevated supercells, as well as isolated wind
    damage as storms train along and just north of the boundary.

    ...SW into central TX and southern OK overnight...
    Within the large-scale trough over the Southwest, an embedded jet
    streak will move through the base of the trough from Baja to
    southwest TX by the end of the period. Mass response to the
    approaching jet streak will result in strengthening warm advection
    and the likelihood of elevated thunderstorm development over
    southwest TX after 06z. Storms will subsequently spread
    northeastward, with additional storm development expected by 12z
    from northwest TX into southern OK. Steep midlevel lapse rates, a
    rapid increase in moisture above the surface, and strong deep-layer
    shear will favor elevated supercells capable of producing very large
    hail (2-3 inches in diameter), as well as isolated damaging surface
    winds.

    low-level warm advection should aid in renewed thunderstorm
    development along/near the stalled front through the afternoon and
    evening. Any convection which can form on or just south of this
    boundary will have a rather favorably moist low-level airmass, steep
    lapse rates aloft, and strong deep-layer shear to support organized
    updrafts.

    A notable diurnal strengthening of the low-level jet /45-55 kt/ is
    expected today across the ArkLaTex to the Mid-South/Lower
    Mississippi Valley, where it will impinge on the west/southwest to east/northeast-oriented effective front. This is concerning
    regarding supercell tornado potential later today, some of which
    could be strong (EF2+) given the magnitudes of the
    deep-layer/low-level shear and moisture-rich environment with
    surface dewpoints in the upper 60s/near 70F. That said, some
    modal/mesoscale uncertainties still persist as to warm-sector
    development and the coverage and longevity of surface-based
    supercells, with convection potentially tending to be more
    prevalent/likely just north of the effective front. Otherwise, large
    to very large hail will be a threat with the expected supercellular
    development along/north of the front, with upscale-growing clusters
    posing a damaging wind threat as well.

    ...West-central/North Texas and southern Oklahoma late tonight...
    Elevated supercells are expected to again develop late tonight
    (after midnight CDT) and early Friday as forcing for ascent
    increases to the north of the surface front. These storms will pose
    a large hail threat, and possibly some severe-wind potential as
    well, particularly if elevated bow echo development occurs as storms
    spread northeastward within a highly sheared environment.

    ...Central Appalachians to Mid-Atlantic/Delmarva...
    Remnants of convection and related outflow boundaries will serve as
    a northern limit to any appreciable severe threat today. While some
    details remain uncertain, any storms that develop along/south of the
    front could pose risks for hail and damaging winds.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
    THE LOWER OH VALLEY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms are expected from portions of
    the lower Ohio Valley into the Deep South this afternoon. Hail and
    wind are the primary concerns.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper troughing is forecast to shift eastward across the
    eastern CONUS today, as a series of embedded shortwave trough
    progress through its base. The lead wave in this series is currently
    moving through Lower/Middle OH Valley with a second wave farther
    back northwest across the Upper Midwest/Mid MO Valley. This second
    wave, which is accompanied by an 80 kt 500 mb jet streak, is
    expected to continue southeastward throughout the day, reaching the
    Mid-South vicinity by this evening before continuing more eastward
    into southern Appalachians by early Friday.

    Surface pattern preceding this upper troughing will be somewhat
    disorganized and broad, with one weak low moving northeastward
    across the Upper OH Valley and another moving southeastward across
    the Mid MS Valley and KY/TN. A diffuse cold front is forecast to
    shift southeastward across the OH Valley into the Mid-South and
    eventually the Southeast. Strong to severe thunderstorms are
    anticipated in the vicinity of this front throughout the afternoon
    and evening.

    ...Mid-South/TN and OH Valleys into the Southeast...
    Area soundings reveal the steep mid-level lapse rates (i.e. greater
    than 7 deg C per km) extend throughout much of the region, supported
    by a large area of cold mid-level temperatures (-18 to -24 deg C at
    500 mb). These cold mid-level temperatures will help support airmass destabilization and modest buoyancy ahead of the approaching
    shortwave trough and cold front, despite relatively modest low-level
    moisture. Forcing for ascent along the front, as well as more broad
    large-scale ascent, will interact with this destabilized airmass to
    support thunderstorm development across much of the region this
    afternoon. Thunderstorm coverage will likely be maximized along the
    front, but initiation could also occur elsewhere across the region
    given the broad ascent and large destabilized area.

    Deep mixing is anticipated across the region, resulting in a
    thermodynamic profile that is somewhat unique for this part of the
    country. This profile will result in high-based thunderstorms
    capable of producing strong cold pools, particularly given that
    shear is quite strong and updraft organization is likely. Primary
    factor precluding greater severe potential is the limited low-level
    moisture and resulting modest buoyancy. That being said, the long
    hodographs suggest storms could be efficient at producing hail
    during their initially more discrete stage, with a trend towards
    cold pool amalgamation thereafter. Consequently, several bowing
    segments could develop, each with the potential to produce damaging
    gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected from portions
    of the lower Ohio Valley into the Deep South this afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and damaging winds should be the main threats.

    ...Lower Ohio Valley into the Southeast...
    Large-scale upper troughing is forecast to further amplify today
    over the eastern CONUS, as multiple embedded shortwave troughs
    rotate through its base. A lead shortwave trough will advance
    eastward over the upper OH Valley and central Appalachians through
    the day, while a trailing shortwave trough is expected to move
    southeastward across the mid MS Valley, lower OH Valley, and TN
    Valley through this evening. A weak/diffuse cold front is likewise
    forecast to develop southeastward across these regions through the
    day, providing some focus for thunderstorm development later this
    afternoon and evening.

    12Z soundings across the Southeast indicate shallow/limited
    low-level moisture in place, but also relatively steep mid-level
    lapse rates. Strong daytime heating, gradual low-level moistening
    from the southwest, and cooling mid-level temperatures associated
    with the trailing shortwave trough should all aid in the development
    of around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE ahead of the front by mid
    afternoon. Weak low-level westerly winds are forecast to gradually
    veer and strengthen with height through the mid/upper levels, which
    will likely foster relatively long/straight hodographs and 40-55+ kt
    of effective bulk shear. This should easily support organized
    updrafts, including the potential for supercells.

    Current expectations are for robust thunderstorm development to
    occur over the lower OH Valley/Mid-South region by 18-20Z. This
    initial activity will likely be supercellular, with an associated
    threat for large hail given steep lapse rates aloft and strong
    deep-layer shear. Additional strong to severe thunderstorms should
    develop through the rest of the afternoon and early evening across a
    larger portion of the lower OH Valley into the TN Valley and
    Southeast. Any convection which can remain at least semi-discrete
    should pose a continued hail threat. Some tendency for upscale
    growth into multiple bowing clusters seems likely by late
    afternoon/early evening. A well-mixed boundary layer should support
    efficient downward momentum transfer and a threat for scattered
    damaging winds, before convection eventually weakens by mid/late
    evening with the loss of daytime heating.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected from portions
    of the lower Ohio Valley into the Southeast through this afternoon
    and evening. Large hail and damaging winds should be the main
    threats.

    ...20z Update...
    Ahead of the cold front moving across the OH/MS Valleys, strong
    heating has promoted gradual destabilization and multiple corridors
    of storm formation this afternoon. 70s and 80s F surface
    temperatures indicate the air mass is well-mixed with dewpoints
    generally in the 40s F. The relatively dry boundary layer should
    support efficient downward momentum transfer of stronger
    tropospheric winds, and a threat for scattered damaging winds. Some
    clustering and a stronger cold pool currently becoming established
    may focus this threat across the lower OH Valley into parts of
    TN/KY. Otherwise, isolated damaging gusts and some hail are
    possible.

    Across parts of the mid to lower MS valley, predominately cellular
    storms are expected late this afternoon continuing through the
    evening. Hail appears likely with these storms given the very
    favorable lapse rates aloft (8-9 C/km) and elongated hodographs
    favoring supercells. Some significant hail near 2 inches in diameter
    cannot be ruled out with the more robust rotating storms. Upscale
    growth overnight may foster a wind threat as one or more
    clusters/line segments spread east across AL and GA with damaging
    gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across parts
    of the Southeast this evening, northward into the southern
    Appalachians. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main
    threats.

    ...Southeast/Southern Appalachians...
    The latest water vapor imagery shows a cyclonic flow pattern over
    the eastern U.S., with multiple embedded shortwave troughs. One of
    these features appears to be in the mid Mississippi Valley, with a
    second located in the southern Appalachians. At the surface, surface
    dewpoints are mostly in the 40s F from northern sections of the
    Southeast northward into the southern Appalachians. A low is
    analyzed in northeast Alabama, where surface dewpoints are locally
    maximized with dewpoints in the lower 50s F. An outflow boundary
    extends from west to east from northern Mississippi to northern
    Georgia. To the south of this boundary, surface temperatures near 70
    F are contributing to RAP-analyzed MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg. This
    instability will help maintain convective development through the
    evening.

    At mid-levels, a jet streak is currently moving through the central
    Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. The left exit region of the jet
    is located over northern sections of the Southeast. Strong
    deep-layer shear and lift associated with this feature will continue
    to support severe thunderstorm development this evening. Supercells
    and short bowing line segments will likely be capable of producing
    wind damage. The large-hail threat will be most likely with
    supercells. This evening, the severe threat is expected to shift
    southward with time into parts of east-central Mississippi, central
    Alabama and west-central Georgia. By late evening, the severe threat
    should become isolated and marginal as instability decreases across
    the Southeast

    ...Eastern Carolinas/Southeast Virginia/Southeast Georgia/Northern
    Florida...
    At mid-levels, a trough will move eastward across the eastern U.S.
    today, as a jet streak rounds the base of the system. At the
    surface, a low will gradually deepen across eastern North Carolina
    from morning into the afternoon. A somewhat moist airmass, with
    surface dewpoints in the 50s F, will advect northward into eastern
    North Carolina during the day. Aloft, the exit region of a mid-level
    jet will overspread eastern North Carolina, where large-scale ascent
    will likely support convective development this morning. From this
    convection, an outflow boundary is expected to confine the area of destabilization to the immediate coast of North Carolina southwest
    of Cape Hatteras. Near Morehead City, the RAP forecast sounding at
    20Z has MLCAPE near 650 J/kg, 0-6 km shear around 55 knots, and a
    0-3 km lapse rate near 7.5 C/km. This environment would be
    sufficient for an isolated severe threat. The primary threat would
    be for marginally severe gusts, but hail would also be possible.
    Although deep-layer shear is forecast to be weaker to the west in
    the Appalachian foothills, a marginal severe threat could occur in
    areas that destabilize the most.

    Further south-southwest into southeast Georgia and northern Florida,
    a cold front is forecast to move slowly southward. If enough surface
    heating takes place near the front, cells that form along or near
    the boundary could obtain a marginal wind-damage or hail threat.

    Isolated strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible from
    the eastern Carolinas into southeast Virginia and across far
    southeast Georgia and northern Florida.

    ...North FL to eastern NC this afternoon/evening...
    A midlevel trough is in the process of amplifying over the southern Appalachians as one embedded speed max rotates northeastward over
    the Carolinas today, and an upstream speed max digs southeastward
    from the mid MS Valley to the Southeast. An associated surface
    cyclone will develop northeastward across the eastern Carolinas
    today, while a trailing cold front moves southeastward into north
    FL. Boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 50s, in combination
    with surface heating beneath cold (less than -20 C at 500 mb)
    midlevel temperatures, will result in MLCAPE near 500 J/kg with
    minimal convective inhibition. Scattered thunderstorms are expected
    to form this afternoon near the cyclone track across the eastern
    Carolinas and along the front in north FL. The weak buoyancy and
    relatively straight hodographs suggest some storm organization will
    be possible with a low-end threat for hail and strong outflow winds
    for a few hours this afternoon/evening.

    A few low-topped thunderstorms are also expected this afternoon over
    the southern Appalachians. However, buoyancy and vertical shear
    will be weaker compared to areas farther east and southeast, and
    only sub-severe hail/wind is expected.

    Otherwise, isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon
    into early tonight along a southward-moving cold front across CO,
    and overnight into MO where moistening and weak ascent atop the

    The prior forecast remains valid with only minimal changes to the
    western edge of the Thunder area. Isolated thunderstorms ongoing
    over parts of the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes should spread eastward
    through tonight. Additional elevated thunderstorms will remain
    possible across the OH Valley and Midwest as the low-level jet
    increases overnight. Given limited moisture, instability is forecast
    to remain too weak to support a severe threat. See the previous
    discussion for more info.

    ..Lyons.. 04/13/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1100 AM CDT Sun Apr 13 2025/

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward from the northern
    High Plains to the Upper Midwest by late tonight, as a surface low
    develops northeastward from eastern NE/KS to the upper Great Lakes.
    Limited low-level moisture return will continue through the period
    within the warm sector of this cyclone. But, sufficient
    ascent/saturation will likely remain confined to near the IA/MN
    border this afternoon, where elevated thunderstorms are ongoing.
    Some small hail may occur with this activity. This elevated
    convection is expected to spread eastward over WI and parts of Lower
    MI through the late evening.

    Farther west, isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon
    into early evening along a southward-moving cold front across CO,
    and overnight into MO where moistening and weak ascent atop the
    front (near/above 700 mb) could support elevated convection by
    09-12z. Across all these areas, instability is forecast to remain
    too weak to support organized severe thunderstorms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible this evening into the
    overnight across parts of the northwestern Great Lakes. Isolated
    storms may also develop this evening in parts of the northern Plains
    and central High Plains.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The latest water vapor imagery shows a trough from the northern
    Plains extending southward into the central High Plains, with a
    plume of mid-level moisture extending from the central Rockies into
    the mid to upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. Isolated
    thunderstorm development will be possible this evening near the
    trough, mainly in northeastern Colorado near the right entrance
    region of a mid-level jet. Additional storms may form just ahead of
    the trough from eastern South Dakota into western Minnesota where a
    pocket of steep mid-level lapse rates is present according to
    mesoanalysis data. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be
    possible this evening into tonight further ahead of the trough near
    the axis of a low-level jet in parts of the northwestern Great
    Lakes. No severe threat is expected.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are expected this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Upper Ohio Valley eastward to the
    Mid-Atlantic. Large hail, severe wind gusts, and a tornado threat
    will be possible.

    ...Lower Ohio Valley/Central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic...
    At mid-levels, a positively-tilted trough will move through the
    northern Plains as a low moves northeastward into Ontario. Heights
    will fall today from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast as a ridge
    moves into the western Atlantic. At the surface, a pre-frontal
    trough will develop in the lee of the Appalachians, as a cold front
    advances southeastward through the lower Ohio and mid Mississippi
    Valleys. Ahead of the front, low-level moisture will advect
    northeastward into Kentucky, southern Ohio and West Virginia. As
    instability increases along this corridor, scattered thunderstorms
    are expected to develop during the afternoon from near the front
    eastward along the northern edge of the instability gradient.
    Multiple relatively small clusters of storms are expected to form
    and move eastward into the central Appalachians.

    An 80 to 90 knot mid-level jet will move across the central Plains
    today, as the exit region of the jet overspreads the Ohio Valley.
    Lift and strong deep-layer shear associated with the exit region of
    the jet will support strong to severe thunderstorm development this
    afternoon. Forecast soundings this afternoon from eastern Kentucky
    into West Virginia have MLCAPE peaking near 2000 J/kg with 0-6 km
    shear in the 60 to 65 knot range. This will support a severe threat,
    associated with isolated supercells and short bowing line segments.
    Large hail will be most likely with supercells. In addition,
    low-level flow is forecast to steadily increase in the late
    afternoon and early evening near the moist axis. This will create
    strong low-level shear favorable for a tornado threat. The tornado
    threat is expected to be the greatest from far northeast Kentucky
    into parts of West Virginia, where 0-3 km storm-relative helicity is
    forecast to reach the 200 to 350 m2/s2 range. Supercells and short
    bowing line segments will also be capable of producing wind damage.
    During the early to mid evening, the severe threat is expected to
    spread eastward into the Mid-Atlantic, where severe gusts and
    isolated large hail will also be possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    INTO EARLY TONIGHT FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA INTO
    CENTRAL VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are expected this afternoon
    through early tonight from the Upper Ohio Valley eastward to the
    Mid-Atlantic. Large hail, severe wind gusts, and a couple of
    tornadoes will be possible.

    ...Upper OH Valley this afternoon into VA early tonight...
    An initial shortwave trough and surface cyclone will occlude by
    tonight between Lake Superior and James Bay, as an upstream
    shortwave trough digs southeastward from the northern Plains toward
    the OH Valley. An associated surface cold front will move
    southeastward across the OH Valley today, while a corridor of
    moisture return occurs ahead of the front from the Mid-South to WV.
    Surface heating in cloud breaks will drive temperatures into the 70s
    by early-mid afternoon, coincident with northeastward advection of
    55-60 F boundary-layer dewpoints beneath the northeastward extent of
    an elevated mixed layer. Though the upstream moisture source is
    rather modest by mid April standards, recent green up and unusually
    moist ground across the OH Valley will augment evapotranspiration.
    These processes will result in MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg with minimal
    convective inhibition as low-level ascent focuses along the front.

    Thunderstorm development is expected by mid afternoon in a broken
    band along the cold front from northern KY into southern OH, and
    storms subsequently expand in coverage while spreading
    east-southeastward across WV into VA through early tonight. The
    moderate buoyancy and long hodographs will support supercells
    capable of producing large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter, and
    damaging winds of 60-75 mph are also expected, especially with any
    upscale growth into bowing segments. Low-level shear/hodograph
    curvature will be sufficient for some tornado threat, though this
    will be modulated by the degree of low-level moistening.
    Clusters/line segments will persist east of the Appalachians into VA
    through early tonight, though the severe threat will diminish with
    eastward extent and after 03z.

    ...SD to IA this afternoon/evening...
    Despite limited low-level moisture, surface heating beneath cooling
    midlevel temperatures will support weak surface-based buoyancy and
    the potential for low-topped thunderstorms from SD into IA (in
    advance of the digging shortwave trough now over western ND/eastern
    MT). Relatively cold temperature profiles will favor some threat
    for small hail, while steep low-level lapse rates and 30+ kt flow
    through the mixed layer favor gusty outflow winds of 40-50 mph.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WEST
    VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are expected this afternoon
    through early tonight from the Upper Ohio Valley eastward to the
    Mid-Atlantic. Large hail, severe wind gusts, and a couple of
    tornadoes will be possible.

    ...Upper OH Valley this afternoon into VA early tonight...
    Recent satellite imagery depicts a maturing mid-latitude cyclone
    moving eastward across Lake Superior towards northeastern Ontario
    with an upstream shortwave trough moving through the northern
    Plains. Expectation is for the cyclone to continue
    deepening/maturing as it moves into and through northeastern Ontario
    today, while the upstream shortwave progresses quickly southeastward
    through the Mid MO Valley and into the Mid MS Valley. As this
    occurs, strong mid-level flow will spread eastward across the OH
    Valley and over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States.

    At the same time, a cold front will spread eastward across the OH
    Valley this afternoon and evening, and across the central
    Appalachians tonight. Current surface analysis reveals upper 40s to
    low 50s dewpoints ahead of the front in the Middle OH Valley, with
    the upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints farther southwest over western KY.
    This greater low-level moisture is expected to surge northeastward
    amid the moderate southwesterly low-level flow, combining with evapotranspiration to bring upper 50s dewpoints into upper OH Valley
    ahead of the front.

    This increase in low-level moisture combined with daytime heating
    should be enough to destabilize the airmass ahead of the front
    across the Upper OH Valley. Forcing for ascent (from a combination
    of increasing large-scale ascent and forcing along the front) will
    increase across this destabilized area, supporting thunderstorm
    development during the afternoon. An initially cellular mode is
    anticipated, with steep mid-level lapse rates and long hodographs
    potentially resulting in a few supercells. Primary severe risk with
    these supercells is large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter. Some
    damaging gusts and a tornado or two are possible, although the lack
    of higher low-level moisture will mitigate the overall tornado
    potential. Strong outflow and increasing mid-level flow suggest a
    transition to a more linear mode is likely, with several bowing
    segments possible. There is also some potential for the development
    of a singular, more coherent convective line. In either case, a
    transition from hail to damaging gusts as the primary severe risk is anticipated as this activity spreads eastward. Clusters/line
    segments will likely persist east of the Appalachians into VA
    through early tonight, though the severe threat will diminish with
    eastward extent and after 03z.

    ...SD to IA this afternoon/evening...
    Low-level moisture will be limited, but surface heating beneath
    cooling midlevel temperatures will support weak surface-based
    buoyancy and the potential for low-topped showers and a few
    thunderstorms from SD into IA (in advance of a digging shortwave
    trough now over western ND/eastern MT). Relatively cold temperature
    profiles will favor some threat for small hail, while steep
    low-level lapse rates and 30+ kt flow through the mixed layer favor
    gusty outflow winds of 40-50 mph.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    NEBRASKA INTO CENTRAL IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected, mainly from
    late afternoon into early tonight from eastern Nebraska into western
    and central Iowa. Very large hail to 3 inches in diameter or
    greater, isolated severe gusts of 60-70 mph, and a couple of
    tornadoes will all be possible.

    ...NE/IA/MN/MO through early tonight...
    A belt of strong southwesterly mid-upper flow will extend from the
    southern High Plains to the central Great Plains and upper MS
    Valley, downstream of a large-scale trough over the West.
    Visible-satellite imagery late this morning shows a capped
    stratocumulus shield from eastern OK northward into eastern KS and
    the MO Valley. This low-level moisture depicted on satellite
    corresponds with a 10.0-11.5 g/kg lowest 100-mb mean mixing ratio
    and dewpoints in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Moisture will continue
    northward on southerly flow to the east of a weak surface wave which
    is expected to move along an associated baroclinic from the mid MO
    Valley to the upper MS Valley, while a lee cyclone develops
    south-southeastward across the central High Plains.

    Strong heating and continued moisture advection will result in
    moderate to strong destabilization from eastern KS to eastern
    NE/western IA and southern MN. Models continue to show initial
    thunderstorm development around 20z in southern MN and around 22z in
    eastern NE (near and just east of the cold front/dryline triple
    point).

    Model forecast soundings over southern MN will favor a mix of
    supercells and storm clusters capable of producing large hail
    (generally 1-1.75 inch diameter) and isolated strong-severe gusts
    (50-60 mph), and perhaps a brief tornado. Farther south, greater
    buoyancy and elongated hodographs will be more favorable for
    supercells. A long-track supercell or two is forecast from eastern
    NE this evening into western/central IA through early tonight.
    Large to giant hail (peak diameter 2.75 to 3.5 inches) will be
    possible with the more intense phase of the supercell activity. A
    narrow window of opportunity may exist for a couple of tornadoes
    this evening with sufficient moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints near
    60 F) as low-level shear increases. Severe gusts will be possible
    with the stronger storms before this activity wanes late this
    evening into the overnight.

    ...20Z Update...
    Very minor changes were made to the outlook with this update. A
    cluster of thunderstorms is evolving immediately ahead of the
    surface low over southern MN, where low-level convergence is
    maximized amid boundary-layer heating and decreasing inhibition.
    Given around 40 kt of deep-layer shear (per MPX VWP), this activity
    should gradually intensify through the afternoon, with a risk of
    large hail and locally damaging wind gusts. Reference MCD #458 for
    more information.

    Farther south, the latest surface observations and radar imagery
    depict gradually increasing boundary-layer convergence ahead of a
    well-defined triple point over south-central/southeast NE. While
    satellite imagery still suggests strong capping at the base of the
    EML, expectations are still for isolated/discrete storm development
    near the triple point in southeast NE later this afternoon into the
    evening. The primary concern will be large to very large hail with
    initially discrete supercells, with an increasing risk of damaging
    winds and a couple of tornadoes into this evening. For additional
    details, reference MCD #459.

    Water-vapor imagery suggests a weak short-wave trough is located
    over western NE, extending into northwest KS. Later tonight an 80kt
    500mb speed max will translate across KS toward southeast NE, and
    this will encourage a marked increase in the LLJ across KS into
    northwest MO by 06z. Latest radar data depicts isolated-scattered
    severe supercells near the MO River from eastern NE into western IA.
    This activity will spread east, aided in part by the aforementioned
    LLJ. With time, storm inflow will gradually lift as the boundary
    layer decouples, and storms will become more elevated. For the next
    few hours very large hail remains possible, along with a risk for
    tornadoes, and wind. As the storms become elevated hail will become
    the most likely concern.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from parts of the
    southern Plains northeastward toward the upper Great Lakes from late
    afternoon into early Saturday morning. Large hail and isolated
    severe gusts will be the main hazards, especially across the
    southern Plains where storms will be more concentrated.

    ...Discussion...

    Strong 500mb speed max is currently digging south across the
    northern Inter-Mountain Region. This feature will encourage a
    pronounced upper trough to evolve over the southwestern U.S. by the
    end of the period. A broad zone of strong mid-level flow will extend
    across northern Mexico-southern Plains-Great Lakes as height falls
    gradually spread into this corridor of the CONUS. As this trough
    deepens into lower latitudes, surface pressures will rise in the lee
    of the Rockies over the Plains, and a sharp cold font will surge
    into western IA-southern KS-OK Panhandle by the start of the period.
    This boundary will likely serve as a focus for robust convection
    through the period, and it should extend from eastern WI-western
    MO-northern TX Panhandle by early evening.

    Latest model guidance does not allow the upper Midwest/Great Lakes
    region to destabilize appreciably as buoyancy will be somewhat
    limited across this region. Even so, strong flow/shear warrant some
    concern for convective organization, and some risk for wind/hail
    will accompany frontal/pre-frontal storms as the boundary advances
    east through the period.

    Of more concern is the air mass across the southern Plains. Strong boundary-layer heating is expected across the High Plains from
    eastern NM into northwest TX, just south of the front. The northeast
    extent of this steep low-level lapse rate plume will likely extend
    into central OK. Latest model guidance suggests strong SBCAPE will
    evolve east of the dryline, and south of the front. As temperatures
    warm through the mid 80s convective temperatures will be breached
    along the dryline, likely by 21z. Forecast soundings support this
    and supercells are expected. This activity should grow upscale and
    spread northeast along the frontal zone. A considerably amount of
    post-frontal elevated convection is ultimately expected, and steep
    mid-level lapse rates favor hail with the elevated storms. While the
    frontal zone will prove sharp, with significant undercutting of
    updrafts, there is some risk for tornadoes prior to this occurring.
    Latest NAM guidance has 500mb temperature cooling to -15C at FSI by
    04z, thus very large hail can be expected with supercells. Cold
    front will gradually sag southeast during the overnight hours, but
    an extended convective event is likely from western OK into the
    Mid-MS Valley due to the evolution of the longer-wave pattern.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE
    SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND UPPER GREAT
    LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from parts of the
    southern Plains northeastward toward the upper Great Lakes, mainly
    from late afternoon into early Saturday morning. Large to very large
    hail and severe wind gusts should be the main hazards, especially
    across the southern Plains where storms will be more concentrated. A
    few tornadoes also appear possible.

    ...Upper Great Lakes to Mid Mississippi Valley...
    Ongoing, mostly elevated thunderstorms aided by persistent low-level
    warm/moist advection and steep mid-level lapse rates should continue
    to pose a large hail and damaging wind threat as they spread quickly
    eastward across southern WI this morning. This activity should
    eventually weaken later this morning as it continues moving across
    Lower MI into a less unstable environment. Behind this initial
    activity, the surface warm sector will attempt to spread northward
    across parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes today, as longwave
    troughing gradually develops eastward over the northern/central
    Plains and Southwest. Given the positive tilt/orientation of this
    upper troughing and enhanced southwesterly flow aloft expected to
    persist through the period, a strong cold front should make only
    slow southeastward progress.

    A cap will likely inhibit surface-based convective development until
    peak afternoon heating and frontal forcing can help lift parcels to
    their LFC. Given nebulous forcing aloft, there is still a fair
    amount of uncertainty regarding overall convective coverage this afternoon/evening. Even so, any thunderstorms that can develop along
    or ahead of the front could pose a threat for severe hail and
    damaging winds, with strong deep-layer shear aiding updraft
    organization. This severe threat may persist for much of the
    evening, and perhaps continuing into the early overnight hours.

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks...
    The southern portion of the cold front is forecast to decelerate and
    eventually stall over parts of OK later today. A dryline will extend
    southward from a weak frontal low across northwest to west-central
    TX by late afternoon. Even with widespread mid/high-level cloudiness
    present, robust daytime heating of the moist warm sector is
    anticipated across the southern Plains today. The low-level cap
    should eventually be breached by late afternoon/early evening
    (around 22-00Z), particularly along/near the cold front, and perhaps
    the front/dryline intersection as well. Strong southwesterly flow
    aloft and related deep-layer shear will likely support organized
    severe convection.

    Initial supercell development should pose a threat for large to very
    large hail, potentially up to 2-3 inches in diameter. With time,
    upscale growth into multiple clusters/short line segments is
    expected through the evening into early Saturday morning, as a south-southwesterly low-level jet gradually strengthens. An increase
    in the severe/damaging wind threat is anticipated as this mode
    transition occurs. The threat for a few tornadoes remains apparent,
    especially across parts of OK along/south of the front, as favorable
    low-level shear will be present this evening where supercells may
    still exist. Even with a higher concentration of thunderstorms
    expected across the southern Plains, the messy convective mode this
    evening and tendency for convection to be undercut by the cold front
    currently limit confidence in delineating a corridor of greater
    severe hail/wind potential.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS NORTHEASTWARD TO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AREA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from parts of the
    southern Plains northeastward through the mid Mississippi Valley and southwestern Great Lakes, mainly from late afternoon into early
    Saturday morning. Large to very large hail and severe wind gusts
    should be the main hazards, especially across the southern Plains
    where storms will be more concentrated. A few tornadoes also appear
    possible.

    ...Discussion...
    Aside from some minor trimming of the MRGL risk area across southern
    Wisconsin, and from the western Oklahoma vicinity into southern
    Kansas, no changes appear necessary at this time.

    Extensive cloud cover along the frontal zone -- from the southern
    Plains to Wisconsin -- continues to modulate heating/destabilization
    in the near-frontal warm sector. These effects include a
    persistent, stout cap across the southern Plains area early this
    afternoon (per the 18Z OUN RAOB).

    Still, storm development is expected late this afternoon, as
    reflected in previous forecasts, with all-hazards severe potential
    with more vigorous convection.

    ..Goss.. 04/18/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1133 AM CDT Fri Apr 18 2025/

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks...
    Strong southwesterly mid to high-level flow will extend from the
    southern High Plains northeastward into the Great Lakes, downstream
    of a mid- to upper-level low over the Four Corners states. A cold
    front was analyzed from the Low Rolling Plains northeastward through
    central OK late this morning. This portion of the front will
    continue southeastward into the I-44 corridor but decelerate towards
    late afternoon. A dryline extends southward from the front over the
    TX Big Country.

    Despite widespread mid/high-level cloudiness, filtered heating of a moist/destabilizing airmass will likely result in a weakened cap by
    late afternoon. Initial supercell development should pose a threat
    for large to very large hail, potentially up to 2-3 inches in
    diameter. Model forecast hodographs and ample PW suggest a strong
    tendency towards upscale growth into an HP supercell and linear
    segment this evening from south-central OK northeastward towards the
    western part of the Ozark Plateau. Coincident with this expected
    convective mode evolution, an increase in the severe/damaging wind
    threat is anticipated. The threat for a few tornadoes remains
    apparent, especially across parts of OK along/south of the front, as
    favorable low-level shear will be present this evening where
    surface-based supercells and mesovortex potential may still exist.

    ...Lower MI to Mid Mississippi Valley...
    In wake of weakened thunderstorm activity across Lower MI, a warm
    sector will attempt to spread northward and destabilize
    across parts of the mid MS Valley and southern/central Great Lakes
    this afternoon. An upper trough will only slowly encroach on the
    Upper Midwest through late tonight. As a result, southwesterly flow
    aloft will be maintained and limited southeastward progression of a
    cold front is forecast.

    Model guidance continues to indicate surface-based thunderstorm
    development will be inhibited until peak heating, when frontal
    forcing and gradual erosion of the cap leads to isolated storms
    developing from MO northeastward towards the southwest Great Lakes.
    Uncertainty remains regarding timing, overall thunderstorm coverage,
    and the exact evolution of this activity. Nonetheless, strong shear
    through a deep layer and adequate buoyancy (due in part to steep
    mid-level lapse rates), will support organized thunderstorms. The
    stronger thunderstorms will probably pose a risk for severe hail and
    damaging winds. This severe threat may persist for much of the
    evening, and perhaps continuing into the early overnight hours.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS TO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms remain possible from parts of the southern
    Plains northeastward through the mid Mississippi Valley tonight.
    Large to very large hail should be the main hazard, especially
    across the southern Plains where storms will be more concentrated.

    ...01z Update...

    Extensive cloud cover has developed within broad southwesterly flow
    from northern Mexico, northeast across the southern Plains into the
    Mid-MS Valley region. This has suppressed warm-sector temperatures
    across the southern Plains and the synoptic front has surged a bit
    farther south than earlier expected. Net result is significant CINH
    persists across the southern Plains and surface-based convection has
    struggled to develop.

    1km flow is expected to strengthen across the southern Plains later
    this evening and this should aid elevated convection north of the
    cold front that currently extends from near LBB-north of SPS-near
    SGF. 00z sounding at OUN remains quite capped, but inhibition is
    notably weaker downstream from SGF to ILX. Latest radar data
    suggests a gradual increase in elevated convection across the
    eastern TX Panhandle into far western OK. This activity should
    gradually expand through the late-evening into the overnight hours.
    Large hail is the primary risk with these elevated storms

    Otherwise, some severe risk remains with any frontal convection that
    evolves overnight downstream across the Mid-MS Valley into western
    IN.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM TEXAS TO
    SOUTHERN MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from Texas
    into southern Missouri. Isolated strong storms may also occur during
    the day across the Ohio Valley into portions of upstate New York.

    ...Texas to southern Missouri...

    Latest water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low digging
    south into northern AZ. This feature is forecast to settle into
    southern NM before ejecting into the southern Plains after 20/06z.
    Latest model guidance suggests a few weak disturbances are embedded
    within the broader southwesterly flow that currently extends across
    northern Mexico into the Mid-MS Valley. Each of these disturbances
    may contribute to bouts of more concentrated convection, especially
    near the frontal zone where low-level warm advection will be
    maximized.

    Early this morning, several clusters of elevated convection have
    evolved across OK into southern MO. This will likely continue into
    the early part of the upcoming day1 period, though some propensity
    for southward development may occur into north TX as CINH is
    gradually removed into this portion of the warm sector. Wind
    profiles are notably strong along this frontal corridor and updraft organization is certainly possible, including supercells and perhaps
    some larger clusters and line segments. A significant amount of
    convection may be noted along the cool side of this boundary.

    The greatest concentration of robust updrafts will likely be noted
    later in the afternoon, immediately ahead of the approaching upper
    trough. Guidance suggests strong boundary-layer heating will occur
    from far west TX into the Edwards Plateau. It appears convective
    temperatures will be breached along the dry line and supercells are
    expected to mature and track northeast toward north-central TX. Some consideration was given to higher severe probabilities along this
    corridor, and this may be warranted in later outlooks if the frontal
    zone does not sag too far south resulting in more elevated updrafts.
    Even so, large hail should be common with this activity. For any
    supercells south of the wind shift there is some concern for
    tornadoes as wind fields are strong and profiles are moist. During
    the latter half of the period, LLJ will increase across northern TX
    into eastern OK, in response to the aforementioned ejecting short
    wave. This should induce a weak surface low that will track into
    southern OK by Sunday morning. If buoyancy can be maintained into
    this portion of the southern Plains, higher severe probs may be
    warranted immediately ahead of the surface low. At this time,
    considerable amount of clouds/precipitation are concerning for
    significant instability/lapse rates.

    ...Ohio Valley into Upstate NY...

    Moisture will advect across the upper OH Valley into Upstate NY
    today, immediately ahead of the progressive cold front. Forecast
    soundings exhibit modest buoyancy, and substantial shear. Scattered
    convection, with a few possibly strong updrafts, may ultimately
    develop ahead of the wind shift. Locally strong winds, and perhaps
    some hail would be the primary risks.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely from parts of Texas into
    southern Missouri, mainly this afternoon and evening. Large to very
    large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes all appear possible.
    Isolated to scattered damaging winds may also occur across portions
    of the Ohio Valley into the Northeast.

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks...
    Multiple bands/clusters of convection are ongoing this morning from
    parts of eastern OK northeastward to the Ozarks and mid MS Valley.
    Much of this activity should remain elevated, with isolated
    hail/wind potential in the short term. In the wake of these
    thunderstorms, an upper trough/low will eject from the Southwest
    across the southern High Plains through the period. A front should
    generally remain stalled across the southern Plains and towards the
    Ozarks today, as surface cyclogenesis occurs over far west TX. As
    large-scale ascent spreads eastward over the southern High Plains,
    additional robust thunderstorms will likely develop by mid afternoon
    along/near the front, and a dryline extending southward across west
    TX into northern Mexico.

    Daytime heating of a moist low-level airmass, combined with the
    presence of steep mid-level lapse rates, are expected to support
    moderate instability across the warm sector, with peak MLCAPE values potentially reaching up to 1500-2500 J/kg. Strong deep-layer shear
    around 50-70 kt will support intense updraft organization with
    convection that develops along/near the front and dryline this
    afternoon. Initial supercells will likely pose a threat for very
    large hail around 2-3 inches in diameter, along with damaging winds.
    By early evening, convective mode should become messier as a
    gradually strengthening low-level jet and the front encourage
    thunderstorm interactions/mergers. Still, a continued large hail and
    damaging wind threat will likely persist for much of the evening.
    Strengthening low-level shear in tandem with the increasing
    low-level jet should also support some threat for a few tornadoes
    with any supercells/clusters that can remain surface based this
    evening. Given increased confidence in multiple intense supercells
    developing this afternoon, an Enhanced Risk has been introduced
    across parts of west-central to western north TX with this update.

    ...Mid Mississippi/Ohio Valleys to the Northeast...
    Instability is expected to remain fairly weak along/ahead of the
    surface front extending from southern MO across the OH Valley and
    into the Northeast. Even so, strong west-southwesterly winds through low/mid-levels may support a threat for isolated to scattered
    severe/damaging winds as the boundary layer gradually destabilizes
    through the day. Multiple ongoing clusters of elevated convection
    from the Ozarks to the mid MS and lower OH Valleys may become
    surface based over the next several hours with filtered daytime
    heating. Have therefore expanded the Slight Risk for damaging winds northeastward across these areas in a narrow zone along/near the
    front.

    A rather strong mid-level jet will overspread the northern
    Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast today, as an upper trough develops
    eastward over the Great Lakes and eastern Canada. Although low-level
    moisture is forecast to remain limited, cold temperatures aloft
    should aid in modest destabilization by early afternoon in a narrow
    corridor along/ahead of the eastward-moving cold front. Deep-layer
    shear will be strong enough to conditionally support supercells,
    although there should be a tendency for convection that develops
    along the front to become more linear with time. Based on recent
    guidance trends, have expanded the Marginal Risk for hail/damaging
    wind potential eastward across these areas. Greater severe wind
    probabilities may be needed if confidence increases in a organized
    cluster developing.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES...AND PORTIONS OF THE
    SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today across
    the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes and parts of the Southeast.
    Damaging winds and marginally severe hail are the primary risks.

    ...Upper OH Valley...
    Morning surface analysis and satellite imagery show a cold front
    sweeping eastward across OH. Considerable cloud cover is present
    ahead of the front, but a narrow corridor of heating immediately
    ahead of the front will allow a period of heating - promoting
    scattered thunderstorms. Low-level moisture is limited with
    dewpoints only in the 50s, and forecast soundings show CAPE values
    generally below 1000 J/kg. Nevertheless, strong low and mid-level
    winds and considerable vertical shear will promote a risk of a few organized/severe storms capable of damaging wind gusts and perhaps a
    tornado or two. Refer to upcoming MCD #511 for further details.

    ...LA/MS/AL/GA/TN...
    The aforementioned surface cold front extends southeastward across
    west TN. A relatively moist air mass is present ahead of the front
    from southeast LA into parts of MS/AL and middle/east TN, although
    considerable cloud cover will limit heating. Most 12z models
    suggest scattered thunderstorms will form in this zone during the
    late afternoon and evening, with sufficient CAPE for a few robust
    updrafts. Low and mid level winds are not particularly strong, and
    large scale forcing is weak. This should limit the overall
    organization and severity of storms, but a few cells may produce
    gusty winds and hail.

    ...SD...
    Water vapor imagery shows a mid-level shortwave trough over WY
    approaching SD. Forcing ahead of this feature will likely lead to
    scattered high-based showers and thunderstorms across eastern WY and western/central SD this afternoon and evening. There is some chance
    that a storm or two could produce locally damaging wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM KENTUCKY TO
    SOUTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible along a
    corridor from Kentucky-Tennessee-Arkansas-southwest Texas. Storms
    across Texas will develop later tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    While heights are broadly rising across much of the CONUS this
    evening, the back edge of a weak disturbance is ejecting across AR.
    Water-vapor imagery depicts this feature well, and deepest
    convective updrafts are noted across eastern AR into the TN Valley.
    LLJ will translate downstream ahead of this feature, focusing across
    KY by midnight, then gradual weakening is expected as the
    aforementioned disturbance lifts northeast. Storms have struggled to
    develop south of the synoptic front, thus elevated thunderstorms
    should be the primary concern the rest of the period. Even so, 00z
    sounding from SHV was quite impressive with SBCAPE on the order of
    4000 J/kg and strong deep-layer shear. While elevated convection
    should be the primary storm mode, if supercells can evolve
    near/south of the front environmental parameters favor very large
    hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. The primary concern across the near-frontal warm sector is storm coverage due to relatively weak
    low-level convergence.

    Later tonight, LLJ will once again increase across the Edwards
    Plateau of TX and a 50kt jet should evolve by sunrise as the next
    minor short wave approaches. Surface front will not retreat much
    west of I35 across TX so robust elevated convection is expected to
    generate hail.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    ARKLATEX INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Several clusters of severe storms are expected from central Texas
    across the ArkLaTex and into the lower Ohio Valley through tonight.
    The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds
    will be from the ArkLaTex across western Arkansas into southeast
    Missouri, including potential for strong to potentially intense
    tornadoes.

    ...Arklatex to southern Illinois...

    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts another notable short-wave
    trough having rounded the base of the longer wave over northern
    Mexico. This feature is ejecting northeast toward the southern
    Plains and will encourage a strengthening LLJ downstream into the
    Arklatex by 18z. LLJ will increase in intensity as it translates
    into the lower OH Valley later tonight. Latest guidance does not
    develop a particularly noteworthy surface low along the primary
    synoptic front, but a developing wave/weak low will track into
    western AR by late afternoon, then into southern IL by 05/06z. This
    evolution should allow the surface boundary currently draped across
    western TN/southern AR to lift north. The warm front will likely
    advance into southeast MO/southern IL where significant
    destabilization is expected as very moist boundary layer returns to
    this region.

    Scattered thunderstorms are gradually increasing in areal coverage
    across west TX in response to the approaching short wave. This
    activity is elevated, but steep mid-level lapse rates are conducive
    for hail with any supercells that develop. Significant MUCAPE is
    expected along the cool side of the boundary and strong-severe
    thunderstorms should spread north of the wind shift ahead of the
    disturbance.

    Of more concern is the corridor from northeast TX into southern IL.
    Surface dew points are currently in the lower 70s across southeast
    TX into northern LA. This air mass will spread north ahead of the
    weak wave and daytime heating will contribute to strong buoyancy
    along this corridor. Very strong shear will support long-lived
    supercells within a high-PW environment. Any storms that develop
    across the warm sector ahead of the low/front should generate hail,
    potentially in excess of 2 inches, and tornadoes are certainly
    possible, along with a potential for a few to be intense and/or
    long-track. Severe threat will spread northeast into the lower Ohio
    Valley during the late-evening/overnight hours as the LLJ shifts
    into this region.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    ARKLATEX INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Several clusters of severe storms are expected from central Texas
    across the ArkLaTex and into the lower Ohio Valley through tonight.
    The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds
    will be from the ArkLaTex across western Arkansas into southeast
    Missouri, including potential for strong to potentially intense
    tornadoes.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early morning satellite imagery shows a deep upper trough extending
    across the western CONUS, with an embedded shortwave trough moving
    through the southern High Plains. Another embedded shortwave trough
    exists farther west and is currently moving across the central Baja
    Peninsula. The lead wave is forecast to continue northeastward into
    the central Plains throughout the day, while the second wave
    continues eastward into northern/central Mexico.

    At the surface, a stalled frontal boundary currently extends from a
    weak low near DRT northeastward to another weak low in northeast TX.
    Widespread showers and thunderstorms are ongoing north of this
    boundary, supported by a warm-air advection from a strong low-level
    jet that covers much of central/eastern TX and the Lower MS Valley.
    Expectation is for the low-level jet to persist throughout the day,
    gradually shifting eastward in response to modest eastward progress
    of the upper troughing. Eastern portion of the stationary front
    should transition to a warm front while elevated thunderstorms
    continue north of this boundary. Northward progression of this front
    will allow the very moist airmass in place across east TX and LA to
    surge northward into more of the Mid-South/Mid MS Valley, resulting
    in a broad and unstable warm sector by early afternoon. At the same
    time, the portion of the front over TX will begin drifting
    southeastward as a cold front. Severe thunderstorms are expected as
    this front interacts with the moist and unstable warm sector in
    place.

    ...Eastern OK into the Mid MS Valley this morning...
    Ongoing showers and thunderstorms across eastern OK and
    northern/western AR are expected to shift northeastward this
    morning, gradually losing intensity as buoyancy weakens with
    northern extent. Expectation is for these storms to stay elevated
    north of the warm front, but there should still be enough buoyancy
    for large hail within the strongest storms.

    ...Arklatex through the Mid-South this afternoon/evening...
    As mentioned in the synopsis, the warm front across the region is
    expected to surge quickly northward, with very moist air expected to
    advect into the region in its wake. 70s dewpoints are already in
    place across east TX and northwest LA and consensus within the
    guidance takes these 70s dewpoints into central AR and western TN by
    later this afternoon. Modest heating within this airmass will bring temperatures into the upper 70s/low 80s. These surface conditions
    beneath a residual EML will support robust destabilization and a
    large area of 2000+ J/kg of MLCAPE. A vigorous low-level jet will
    extend across this region as well, resulting in robust low-level
    shear. Some mid-level weakness is noted in forecast hodographs, but
    the bulk shear is still more than enough to support supercells.

    A combination of convergence along the front and strengthening
    large-scale ascent is expected to result in initial development
    around 18Z from far west-central/southwest OK through the Arklatex
    into northeast TX. Given the strong buoyancy and shear, this
    development should mature quickly into supercells capable of all
    severe hazards, including strong to intense tornadoes and very large
    (i.e. greater than 2" in diameter) hail. With the increasing ascent
    and little to no convective inhibition, overall storm coverage will
    be high and storm interactions could have a large role in
    determining supercell longevity. That being said, environmental
    conditions do support the potential for long-track tornadoes.

    ...Lower MO Valley into the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys this afternoon/evening...
    A persistent low-level jet coupled with modest height falls and
    perhaps even some convectively enhanced vorticity maxima will
    support widespread elevated thunderstorms. Some hail is possible
    with the stronger, more consistent cores as this activity moves
    northeastward. There is some chance that storms along the
    southernmost tier of this activity begin to interact with the warm
    front (and potentially a weak frontal low) in the southeast
    MO/southern IL/far western KY vicinity. As a result, there could be
    a period where a more organized convective line develops, with an
    attendant threat for damaging wind gusts.

    ...Southwest TX/TX Hill Country tonight...
    Second shortwave trough mentioned in the synopsis is forecast to
    cross northern/central Mexico and move into the southern High Plains
    late tonight. Steep mid-level lapse and associated significant
    elevated buoyancy will be in place, and thunderstorm development is
    anticipated as the shortwave moves into the region. Strong shear
    will also be in place, which will likely aid in the development of
    supercells capable of large to very large hail.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
    AFTERNOON/EVENING FROM THE ARKLATEX TO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Several clusters of severe storms are expected from central Texas
    across the ArkLaTex and into the lower Ohio Valley through tonight.
    The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds
    will be from the ArkLaTex across western Arkansas into southeast
    Missouri, including potential for strong to potentially intense
    tornadoes.

    ...ArkLaTex to the lower OH Valley through tonight...
    An amplified midlevel trough over the Southwest will move slowly
    eastward, while embedded/subtle speed maxima eject northeastward
    over the southern Plains. Additionally, large-scale ascent will be
    enhanced within the right-entrance region of the upper jet over the
    upper Midwest. At the surface, a baroclinic zone is expected to
    move northward today across AR/western TN/KY in response to a weak
    wave developing northeastward from northeast TX toward northwest AR
    this afternoon and southeast MO tonight. The depth of the cool air
    at LZK diminished substantially from 00z to 12z, which supports
    northward mixing of the front and warm sector this afternoon.

    Within the surface warm sector, a very moist air mass is in place
    with low 70s boundary-layer dewpoints beneath midlevel lapse rates
    of 7.5-8.5 C/km. Daytime heating in cloud breaks will contribute to
    MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg and weakening convective inhibition by
    early-mid afternoon, when thunderstorm development is expected both
    along the surface front and in the open warm sector. Storm
    development will be most concentrated along the front where ascent
    will be focused and training storms are likely. More isolated
    storms will also be possible farther east in the warm sector from AR
    into western TN/KY by mid-late afternoon. Deep-layer vertical
    shear/hodograph length will be favorable for supercells, with
    substantial low-level hodograph curvature (effective SRH near or
    above 300 m2/s2, especially near and just southeast of the front in
    AR). Given the fairly strong low-level shear and a relatively moist environment in the low levels, supercells will be capable of
    producing a few strong (EF2-EF3) tornadoes this afternoon into this
    evening in the Moderate risk area. Otherwise, very large hail to
    baseball size and damaging gusts will be possible with the
    supercells and embedded/organized storm clusters training along the
    baroclinic zone. North of the front, organized storms will be
    capable of producing large hail and occasional damaging gusts.

    ...Edwards Plateau to north TX late tonight...
    Similar to the previous two nights, another round of elevated
    thunderstorms is expected near and after 06z from the Edwards
    Plateau into north TX and perhaps southeast OK. The storm
    environment will be favorable for both elevated supercells with very
    large hail and bowing clusters with some potential for damaging
    winds to the surface.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Several clusters of severe storms are expected from central Texas

    The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds
    will be from the ArkLaTex across western Arkansas into southeast
    Missouri, including potential for strong to potentially intense
    tornadoes.

    ...20z Update...
    Morning and early afternoon observations show the frontal zone
    gradually expanding north/northwest from the ArkLaTex to the mid MS
    and lower OH Valleys. As strong mid-level flow overlaps with the
    destabilizing air mass, several clusters of severe thunderstorms
    appear are ongoing and are likely to continue, with a risk for all
    hazards into tonight. Minor changes were made to the northern end of
    the outlook area, in accordance with the latest
    observations/guidance.

    ...ArkLaTex...
    The primary surface-based convective band, forming along and east of
    the surface front from northeast TX to southern AR should continue
    intensify with several supercells likely emerging and tracking
    through the MDT Risk Corridor. Additional, more isolated storms are
    possible within a pre-frontal confluence axis and across the warm
    sector this afternoon. The 18z SHV and LZK soundings show very
    favorable thermodynamic profiles, with considerable low-level
    hodograph curvature (ESRH 330-500 m2/s2) and deep-layer shear
    supportive for intense supercells. With observed and forecast STP of
    5+, several tornadoes, some of which may be strong to intense appear
    likely into this evening. The primary limiting factor for higher
    probabilities continues to be the more meridional and front parallel
    flow near the baroclinic zone. The numerous storm interactions
    should favor upscale growth as a QLCS gradually emerges later this afternoon/evening.

    ...Lower OH and TN valley...
    Weak convective development within the broader warm sector has been
    noted early this afternoon across parts of TN and southern KY.
    Strong diurnal heating amid 70s F surface dewpoints and steep
    low-level lapse rates may allow these storms to slowly intensify
    through the afternoon. Displaced from the deeper ascent near the
    front, storm coverage and organization are expected to be somewhat
    less than farther southwest. Still, 40+ kt of effective shear with
    modestly large clockwise curved hodographs suggests some potential
    for supercellular activity, with a risk for damaging gusts, hail,
    and a couple tornadoes.

    The greater severe concern is expected later tonight as upscale
    growth from the convection over the MS Valley moves eastward. A QLCS
    with embedded supercellular elements appears likely across parts of
    western KY and TN into central KY and southern OH. Damaging gusts
    and tornadoes are expected. Given the robust destabilization now
    ongoing south of the warm front, have opted to expand the SLGT and
    the ENH farther east across KY and TN for a damaging wind and
    tornado threat.

    ...West TX...
    Model guidance continues to show a broad area of elevated convection
    developing after dark. Significant hail and some damaging winds are
    possible with elevated supercells tracking north from the Edwards
    Plateau toward the Red River tonight.

    continues from the ArkLaTex into southeast Missouri, including
    potential for strong to potentially intense tornadoes.

    ...01z Update...

    Primary upper low has settled along the international border west of
    TUS this evening. A secondary short-wave trough is expected to
    advance into west TX later tonight when another bout of elevated
    convection will evolve atop cooler air mass wedged deep into this
    portion of the southern Plains. Hail will once again be expected
    with this late-night activity.

    Downstream, a slow-moving corridor of strong-severe thunderstorms
    continues from the Arklatex-northern AR-southeast MO-southern IL.
    Supercells are embedded along the frontal zone and this activity
    will continue through the overnight hours as a weak short-wave
    ejects toward the OH Valley. LLJ is forecast to strengthen into
    southern IL over the next several hours and this could aid upscale
    growth as warm advection intensifies into this region. With surface
    dew points rising through the upper 60s to near 70 near the
    confluence of the MS/OH Rivers, ample buoyancy exists for robust
    updrafts. 00z soundings from SHV and LZK support this with SBCAPE in
    excess of 3000 J/kg. Given the very strong deep-layer shear strong
    tornadoes remain a possibility.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    SABINE RIVER VALLEY TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms, capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail
    and several tornadoes are expected from the Sabine River Valley
    northeastward into the lower to mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys.
    Strong tornadoes, very large hail, and severe gusts will be possible
    in parts of the lower to mid Mississippi Valley.

    ...Sabine River Valley to Kentucky...

    Seasonally strong upper trough is digging southeast across the
    southwestern U.S./northern Mexico. This feature should shift east
    into the southern Plains during the latter half of the period as a
    500mb speed max translates through the base of the trough into
    south-central TX by 06/00z, then into western AR by the end of the
    period. In response to this feature, a weak surface low is expected
    to develop in the lee of the higher terrain over the lower Rio
    Grande Valley, then track northeast along the boundary into the
    lower Sabine River Valley by late afternoon.

    High-PW air mass extends across the northwestern Gulf Basin, arcing
    northeast across the lower MS Valley into the TN Valley. Surface dew
    points are well into the lower 70s into western MS, and this will
    lead to a corridor of SBCAPE on the order of 3000 J/kg across this
    portion of the warm sector.

    Early this morning, an expansive corridor of convection extends
    along/north of the front from AR into western KY. This zone will
    gradually sag southeast through the period and will continue to
    serve as a focus for robust convection. Additionally, an expanding
    area of elevated convection is maturing ahead of the main short wave
    across west TX, and these storms will spread northeast with an
    attendant threat for hail into the early part of the period.

    Very strong shear is noted along/ahead of the frontal zone, and will
    continue to support organized, long-lived supercells. Current
    thinking is convection will be most concentrated along the warm
    front early, but diurnal heating will contribute to destabilization
    such that scattered-numerous storms should evolve along the cold
    front as it surges east across TX into LA, during the evening hours. Environmental parameters favor tornadic supercells, and strong
    tornadoes are certainly possible, in addition to large hail and
    wind.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    SABINE RIVER VALLEY TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms, capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail
    and several tornadoes are expected from the Sabine River Valley
    northeastward into the lower to mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys.
    Strong tornadoes, very large hail, and severe gusts will be possible
    in parts of the lower to mid Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    Lead shortwave trough continues to progress northeastward across the
    southern High Plains, within the eastern periphery of upper trough
    over the Southwest. A large area of elevated thunderstorms has
    evolved ahead of this wave, covering much of central/north TX and central/eastern OK.

    As this deep upper trough continues to gradually shift eastward over
    the Southwest/northern Mexico, an embedded shortwave trough and
    associated jet streak will progresses through its base. General
    expectation is for this shortwave trough to continue quickly
    eastward across northern Mexico and then more northeastward as it
    enters the southern Plains. A second shortwave trough is expected to
    drop southward across AZ, with this overall evolution leading to an
    elongation of the upper trough throughout the period.

    Surface pattern currently consists of a sharp cold front from south
    TX through AR and the Mid MS Valley to a low over northern IL. A
    weakening convective line is ongoing well ahead of this front across
    western KY and western TN. The cold front is forecast to continue southeastward, as the upper troughing and associated shortwave move
    eastward, interacting with the moist and unstable airmass downstream
    to support strong to severe thunderstorms from southeast TX and
    Lower MS Valley into the Lower/Middle OH and TN Valleys today.

    ...East/Southeast TX through the Lower MS Valley
    Much of the ongoing elevated thunderstorms from central/north TX
    into eastern OK and western AR are forecast to continue
    northeastward over the next few hours while gradually weakening and transitioning to a broad stratiform precipitation field. Severe
    potential within this area of convection will be limited due to weak
    buoyancy and an unfavorable storm mode.

    The portion of the cold front in TX is expected to remain
    progressive as its gradually shifts southeastward with time. The
    airmass downstream is already uncapped and moderately to strong
    unstable. Thunderstorm development in the vicinity of this boundary
    has been largely anafrontal thus far, but that is expected to change
    during the late morning/early afternoon as large-scale forcing for
    ascent increases. Strengthening low-level flow is anticipated from
    southeast TX into LA during this time as well. These factors should
    lead to an increase in thunderstorm coverage along the front while
    also increasing the potential for more open warm-sector development.
    The combination of a deep moist layer, strong buoyancy, and robust
    low-level flow supports the potential for supercells capable of all
    hazards. However, the meridional, line-parallel character to the
    deep-layer flow suggests a trend towards a more linear mode will be
    favored, particularly along the front. However, any storms that can
    remain discrete and avoid disruptive storm interacts could mature
    quickly to produce large to very large hail and tornadoes, a few of
    which could be strong (EF2+). This tornado threat will be maximized
    from East TX and northern/central LA into southern AR, western MS,
    and southwestern TN.

    The potential for open warm-sector storms will lessen with time as
    the front moves across the Lower MS Valley and thunderstorms along
    the boundary become dominant. A linear storm mode will favor
    damaging gusts as the primary hazard, although the low-level flow
    will have enough strength and veering to support a risk for
    line-embedded tornadoes.

    ...Mid-South into the TN/OH Valleys...
    Farther north, the boundary will be less progressive throughout the morning/early afternoon, particularly north of a weak low currently
    over northeast TX. The boundary will likely sharpen during this
    time, before then becoming more progressive once again as the
    convectively augmented shortwave trough currently moving into
    western OK progresses into the region. This will likely result in a
    bowing line segment with damaging gusts as the primary severe risk.
    However, given the strength of the low-level flow, some embedded
    tornado potential exists as well.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    EASTERN ARKANSAS...WESTERN TENNESSEE...AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms, capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail
    and several tornadoes are expected from the Sabine River Valley
    northeastward into the Mid-South and lower Mississippi and Ohio
    Valleys. Strong tornadoes, very large hail, and severe wind gusts
    are all possible.

    ...East TX/ArkLaTex to Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Severe storms continue to increase through late morning into midday
    especially across parts of Arkansas, with the upscale-growing
    MCS/bow echo near/northeast of the Little Rock area as of 1130 CDT.
    A 60 kt wind gust was recently measured at KLRF/North Little Rock.
    This bowing MCS should continue to favor the zone near/immediately
    north of the effective boundary that precedes it (roughly parallel
    to I-40), likely taking it into western Tennessee this afternoon,
    potentially near the Memphis metro vicinity. See Mesoscale
    Discussion 411 for additional details. A Moderate Risk upgrade has
    been introduced for this scenario, as well as potential
    semi-discrete warm-sector development later this afternoon to its
    south.

    Within the axis of a strong low-level jet (south-southwesterly 50-60
    kt across the ArkLaTex and ArkLaMiss), supercell longevity/tornado
    potential will be maximized with any diurnal warm-sector development
    that occurs away from (east-southeast of) the outflow-reinforced
    effective front, although the extent of that my tend to be somewhat
    curbed by persistent cloud cover and semi-mild mid-level
    temperatures (-9 or -10C at 500mb) into the warm sector.
    Additionally, deep-layer shear vectors will be largely parallel to
    the effective front regionally, suggestive of a mixed convective
    mode including HP supercells/smaller-scale bows in close proximity
    to the convectively modified effective front. The front will become
    more east/southeastward-progressive later this afternoon and tonight
    across east/southeast Texas, southern Arkansas, and Louisiana.
    Overall, some tornadoes are expected regionally, a few of which
    could be strong, aside from damaging winds and isolated large hail.

    ...Mid-South into the TN/OH Valleys...
    Farther north, the boundary will be less progressive throughout the morning/early afternoon, particularly north of a weak low currently
    over northeast Texas. The boundary will likely sharpen during this
    time, before then becoming more progressive once again as the
    convectively augmented shortwave trough currently moving into
    western Oklahoma progresses into the region. This will likely result
    in a bowing line segment with damaging gusts as the primary severe
    risk. However, given the strength of the low-level flow, some
    embedded tornado potential exists as well.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A wind-damage and isolated tornado threat exists across parts of the
    Southeast. Marginally severe wind gusts will also be possible
    northeastward into parts of the southern Appalachians and southern
    Virginia.

    ...Southeast...
    A composite squall line with some embedded bows, along with some
    preceding thunderstorms and occasional transient/mostly weak
    supercells thus far, extends from the Alabama/Georgia border
    vicinity (west/southwest of Atlanta metro) southwestward into
    east-central Alabama and southwest Alabama near Mobile as of 1130am
    CDT/1230pm EDT. Multi-layer cloud cover extends across the nearby
    warm sector to its east, but a moist environment (upper 60s/near
    70F) and some additional heating will lead to further
    destabilization, a change that should most appreciably occur
    northeastward into western/north-central Georgia owing to
    differential heating and essentially a northeastward-advancing warm
    front. The strongest forcing for ascent and deep-layer winds will
    lag (to the west-northeast) the composite convective line, but
    sufficient vertical shear extends into the warm sector to support
    organized storm modes including semi-discrete supercells and
    line-embedded bows. Damaging wind and tornado risks will exist
    through at least early/mid-evening.

    ...Southern Appalachians/Piedmont...
    Warmer air aloft is expected to have a greater influence over these
    regions. With less buoyancy anticipated through the afternoon,
    convective intensity should remain muted. Given the strong shear
    across these areas, a few strong to severe storms may produce
    isolated wind damage.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered convection may persist in portions of southern Alabama and
    the Florida Panhandle. Isolated wind damage and perhaps a tornado or
    two remain possible this evening into Monday morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large-scale trough within the Plains will continue eastward
    progress through tonight. Mid-level winds may gradually increase
    across portions of the Southeast. Convection along the surface cold
    front will likely persist into Monday morning given continued
    forcing for ascent and a very moist low-level airmass.

    ...Southern Alabama and Florida Panhandle Vicinity...
    Convection continues this evening across the region. Lightning
    trends further inland from the Gulf have generally trended down over
    the last few hours. Upper 60s to low 70s F dewpoints remain south of
    convective outflow in southern Alabama into the Florida Panhandle
    and adjacent southwest Georgia. Given the moist airmass in place and
    continued theta-e advection into the region, MLCIN should remain
    minimal through tonight. 850 mb winds are expected to maintain their
    intensity ahead of the convection and area VADs continue to show
    some low-level hodograph enlargement. Storm intensity through the
    overnight is not certain given the storm mode, gradual
    boundary-layer cooling, and weak lapse rates (observed in the BMX
    sounding this evening). However, given the forcing, strong
    deep-layer shear, and adequate low-level shear, the environment will
    remain conditionally favorable for a tornado or two into Monday
    morning. The 5% tornado probabilities (Slight risk) will be
    maintained for this reason. The strongest convection may also
    produce isolated wind damage.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF NORTH FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered storms, some severe, are possible Monday afternoon across
    parts of northern Florida and the southern Atlantic Seaboard.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large upper-level trough will continue eastward from the
    Mississippi Valley into the East Coast by Tuesday morning. Some
    intensification of the mid-level jet is expected as it moves from
    the lower Mississippi Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. At the surface,
    a weak surface low in the southern Appalachians will deepen as the
    jet intensifies. This feature will move through western North
    Carolina and along the North Carolina/Virginia border during the
    morning/early afternoon. An east-west warm front will accompany the
    surface low with a cold front extending southwestward into
    Georgia/North Florida. The cold front will be nearly offshore by
    late afternoon.

    ...North Florida/Southeast Georgia/South Carolina...
    Convection is likely to be ongoing Monday morning in parts of the
    Southeast and the Florida Panhandle. This activity along the front
    will progress eastward along with the upper trough. The low-level
    jet is expected to shift northeastward with time. It is possible
    that most favorable low-level shear/tornado environment will exist
    when convection is diurnally weak. That being said, 850 mb winds
    will still remain moderately strong even into the afternoon. Heating
    ahead of the convection (promoting around 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE) may
    help to reinvigorate it. Effective shear, parallel to the cold
    front, will be 40-45 kts. Organized storms will likely be mostly
    linear in character with perhaps embedded supercells. Damaging winds
    and perhaps a tornado or two would be possible. Poor mid-level lapse
    rates should mitigate large hail potential, particularly with the
    expected linear storm modes.

    ...North Carolina into far southeast Virginia...
    Along with similarly poor mid-level lapse rates as farther south,
    stronger warm air advection into warm frontal zone suggests greater
    potential for early day precipitation and cloud cover. Even so, the
    track of the surface low may allow rich moisture to remain in
    northern North Carolina into far southern Virginia. While limited destabilization will most likely keep the threat for isolated wind
    damage and a brief tornado marginal, the low-level jet will be
    stronger with northward extent and helicity will be enhanced near
    the warm front. If greater heating can occur, there a small corridor
    of higher tornado potential could exist.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    NORTH FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...AND THE CAROLINAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered storms, some severe, are possible today across parts of
    northern Florida, southeast Georgia, and the Carolinas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Positively titled upper troughing currently extends from Ontario
    through central Mexico, with a shortwave trough embedded within this
    larger trough from the Ozark Plateau through central Mexico. Strong
    mid-level flow exists throughout the eastern periphery of the parent
    troughing, with a jet max of 90+ kt at 500 mb extending from the
    Mid-South into New England.

    Current surface pattern features a low near the northern TN/NC
    border intersection, with another weaker low farther south near the
    ATL vicinity. A modest cold front extends between these two lows,
    becoming a bit more defined south of the second low due to outflow
    augmentation from the ongoing storms. A warm front also extend
    eastward from the northern low across southern VA.

    The southern shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward
    throughout the day, moving across the Lower MS Valley and Southeast
    states before losing amplitude amid the more confluent flow across
    the Carolinas. The primary surface low is expected to move
    east-northeastward, with the cold front making steady eastward
    progress.

    ...North Florida/Southeast Georgia/Carolinas...
    Airmass downstream of the ongoing convective line is currently
    characterized by mostly mid 60s dewpoints, although some low 70s
    exists across far southwest GA and the central FL Panhandle. This
    low-level moisture is supporting modest buoyancy, despite poor lapse
    rates. Some strengthening of the storms within the line has been
    noted over the past hour as it interacts with a narrow corridor of
    70s dewpoints across far southwest GA and the central FL Panhandle.
    Bowing segments and embedded rotation has been observed briefly as
    updraft intensity modulates. Given that these higher dewpoints exist
    in a relatively narrow corridor, the threat for damaging gusts
    and/or brief tornadoes is expected to remain short-lived this
    morning.

    Modest buoyancy is expected downstream of the cold front throughout
    the day, with daytime heating helping to maintain this buoyancy
    farther eastward into southeast GA and southern SC where lower
    dewpoints are anticipated. In addition to this buoyancy, large-scale
    forcing for ascent is expected to strengthen as well, both from the
    approaching shortwave trough and favorable proximity within the
    right entrance region of the strengthening mid-level flow. Moderate
    to strong low-level southwesterly flow will persist throughout the
    day.

    All of these factors suggest the ongoing convective line should be
    maintained as it moves eastward throughout the day, with some
    additional strengthening and organization possible, particularly if
    daytime heating does not overly mix the boundary layer. Deeper
    convection is expected to expand northward along the front moves
    into the Carolina Piedmont. A linear mode will likely be maintained,
    with damaging gusts as the primary severe risk. The strength of the
    low-level flow suggest some tornado potential exists as well.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PART OF
    SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely from parts of Texas into
    southern Missouri, mainly this afternoon and evening. Large to very
    large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes all appear possible.
    Isolated to scattered damaging winds may also occur across portions
    of the Ohio Valley into the Northeast.

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks...
    Morning surface analysis places a cold front from just south of MAF
    (in west Texas) northeastward through ARG (in northeast AR).
    Widespread showers and occasional thunderstorms are currently
    ongoing north of this front across OK and AR, and associated outflow
    is still aiding in more eastward/southeastward progression of this
    boundary across northern/central AR. This eastward/southeastward
    progression is expected to slow with time as additional surface
    cyclogenesis occurs across west TX ahead of a deep shortwave trough
    progressing across Southwest. Low-level southerly/southeasterly flow
    will persist south of the stalling boundary, leading to a sharpening
    of the gradient through this afternoon/evening. By this afternoon,
    dewpoints are expected to be in mid 60s along this boundary from
    southwest TX into the Mid-South. This low-level moisture combined
    with modest heating will result in airmass destabilization. As
    large-scale ascent spreads eastward over the southern High Plains,
    robust thunderstorms will likely develop by mid afternoon along/near
    the front, and a dryline extending southward across west TX into
    northern Mexico.

    Strong deep-layer shear around 50-70 kt will support updraft
    organization with convection that develops along/near the front and
    dryline this afternoon. An initial supercell mode is anticipated,
    with large hail as the primary risk. Storms will likely remain
    elevated from northwest TX into the Ozarks, but surface-based storms
    are more likely across southwest TX. Here, some very large hail
    around 2-3 inches in diameter is possible. Strong outflow is
    possible as well.

    By early evening, convective mode should become messier as a
    gradually strengthening low-level jet and the front encourage
    thunderstorm interactions/mergers. Still, a continued large hail and
    damaging wind threat will likely persist for much of the evening.
    The strengthening low-level jet and resultant increase in low-level
    shear could also support some threat for a few tornadoes with any supercells/clusters that can remain surface based this evening.
    Additionally, another round of storms appears likely across Permian Basin/southwest TX late this evening as the shortwave trough ejects
    into the southern High Plains. These storms should have a more
    linear orientation, with damaging gusts as the primary risk as they
    progress eastward toward central TX late tonight/early tomorrow.

    ...Mid Mississippi/Ohio Valleys to the Northeast...
    Current surface analysis places a cold front extending southwestward
    from central Ontario through far southern IL and far southeast MO.
    Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing in the vicinity of this front,
    with much of this activity elevated behind the front across the Mid
    MS and OH Valleys where the deep-layer flow is more parallel to the
    boundary. A trend towards a more surface-based structure is
    anticipated this afternoon as daytime heating promotes modest
    airmass destabilization ahead of the front and the flow become more
    orthogonal to the boundary, particularly across the Upper OH Valley
    and Northeast.

    Mid-level flow is expected to strengthen this afternoon and evening,
    and despite modest buoyancy, deep-layer shear will be strong to
    support linear structures capable of damaging gusts, especially as
    convection that develops along the front becomes more linear with
    time. Overall storm coverage is expected to be high enough to merit
    15% wind probabilities along the front into southern NY.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to continue across Texas
    into southern Missouri this afternoon and evening. Large to very
    large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes all appear possible.
    Isolated to scattered damaging winds may also occur across portions
    of the Ohio Valley into the Northeast.

    ...20z Update..
    No changes are needed to the D1 Convective Outlook.

    Thunderstorm activity has initiated within the Enhanced near the
    dryline and front intersection across southwestern Texas. Initial
    supercells across this area will be capable of large hail and
    damaging wind. As the low-level jet increases through the
    afternoon/evening, the threat for a few tornadoes may increase. See
    MCD483 for more information.

    Convection will continue intermittently along the cold front draped
    from the Mid-Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, to the Northeast.
    Strongly sheared profiles and continued heating through the
    afternoon will support some intensification of activity at times,
    with potential for damaging wind. See previous discussion and MCD484
    for more information.

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks...
    Morning surface analysis places a cold front from just south of MAF
    (in west Texas) northeastward through ARG (in northeast AR).
    Widespread showers and occasional thunderstorms are currently
    ongoing north of this front across OK and AR, and associated outflow
    is still aiding in more eastward/southeastward progression of this
    boundary across northern/central AR. This eastward/southeastward
    progression is expected to slow with time as additional surface
    cyclogenesis occurs across west TX ahead of a deep shortwave trough
    progressing across Southwest. Low-level southerly/southeasterly flow
    will persist south of the stalling boundary, leading to a sharpening
    of the gradient through this afternoon/evening. By this afternoon,
    dewpoints are expected to be in mid 60s along this boundary from
    southwest TX into the Mid-South. This low-level moisture combined
    with modest heating will result in airmass destabilization. As
    large-scale ascent spreads eastward over the southern High Plains,
    robust thunderstorms will likely develop by mid afternoon along/near
    the front, and a dryline extending southward across west TX into
    northern Mexico.

    Strong deep-layer shear around 50-70 kt will support updraft
    organization with convection that develops along/near the front and
    dryline this afternoon. An initial supercell mode is anticipated,
    with large hail as the primary risk. Storms will likely remain
    elevated from northwest TX into the Ozarks, but surface-based storms
    are more likely across southwest TX. Here, some very large hail
    around 2-3 inches in diameter is possible. Strong outflow is
    possible as well.

    By early evening, convective mode should become messier as a

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CENTRAL TEXAS

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong tornadoes will be possible this evening into
    tonight across north-central Texas and southeast Oklahoma.
    Elsewhere, very large hail will be possible late tonight across west
    Texas as additional thunderstorms develop.

    ... 01Z Update ...
    The major change to this update is to introduce an enhanced risk
    (Level 3 of 5) for tornadoes across north-central Texas into
    southeast Oklahoma. Here, surface dewpoints into the mid 60sF along,
    southeast surface winds, and an increasing low-level jet will yield
    an increasingly favorable environment for a couple of strong
    tornadoes through the evening and into the overnight hours. The
    observed 00Z RAOB from Dallas/Fort Worth is indicative of this kind
    of environment with MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg and 0-3km SRH of 380
    m2/s2.

    Additional thunderstorms capable of producing very large hail and
    damaging wind threat should redevelop/continue into tonight across
    portions of west Texas as the main upper-level low begins to eject
    into the Plains.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    ARKANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected on Sunday from east Texas into far
    southeast Iowa and Illinois. A strong tornado and damaging wind
    potential will exist from central Arkansas into central Missouri.

    ... Synopsis ...

    A seasonably strong mid-level low will eject from the southern
    Rockies/west Texas northeast toward the western Great Lakes on
    Sunday. As the mid-level low impinges on the western periphery of
    the Bermuda High the increasing height gradient will result in the
    development of 90-100 knot mid-level jet across northeast Oklahoma
    by late morning. This jet will slowly weaken as it moves northeast
    through the day.

    A surface cyclone will deepen through the day as it also lifts
    northeast from Oklahoma toward Wisconsin. An attendant cold front to
    the south of this low will push east through Oklahoma into Missouri
    and Arkansas during the afternoon, and the attendant warm front will
    lift north into northern Missouri and central Iowa. Increasing
    southerly low-level flow, including a 50-60 knot low-level jet, will
    advect low 60sF dewpoints into northern Missouri and mid 60sF
    dewpoints as far north as southern-to-central Missouri.

    Despite ongoing convection across much of Missouri and perhaps
    northern Arkansas at the start of the period, modest heating and
    increasing low-level moisture during the early afternoon should
    result in MUCAPE between 1000 to perhaps 1500 J/kg ahead of the
    surface cold front, most-likely across south-central Missouri.
    Storms should develop along the front during the early afternoon and
    progress east with the front. Forecast wind fields support a couple
    of strong tornadoes either within isolated storms or within bowing
    segments. As storms grow upscale during the afternoon, the severe
    wind threat will increase, especially given the strength of the
    low-level flow.

    The severe threat should peak during the late afternoon before
    beginning an overall weakening trend into the evening hours as the
    mid-level low pulls away from the better moisture/instability.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected today across parts of the ArkLaTex
    into the Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley, mainly this afternoon
    and evening. The best corridor for tornadoes (some of which could be
    strong) and scattered to numerous damaging winds should exist from central/northern Arkansas into Missouri.

    ...ArkLaTex into the Ozarks and Mid Mississippi Valley...
    Extensive convection has occurred overnight and early this morning
    across the southern Plains into the Ozarks and mid MS Valley.
    Ongoing thunderstorms across south-central TX are expected to
    continue weakening over the next couple of hours as they encounter a
    strongly capped airmass. Activity over eastern OK into western AR
    and MO may pose an isolated hail/wind threat this morning, although
    instability will tend to remain weak for at least a few more hours.
    Otherwise, a strong mid-level shortwave trough will continue to
    eject northeastward from the southern Plains across the Ozarks and
    mid MS Valley through the period. An attendant 60-90 kt mid-level
    jet will likewise spread northeastward across eastern OK/KS and the
    Ozarks through the day. A weak surface low over OK this morning will
    also develop northeastward to northern MO by this evening, while a
    cold front continues moving eastward over the southern Plains
    towards the ArkLaTex.

    Ongoing cloudiness and precipitation lend some uncertainty regarding
    the degree of destabilization that will occur by this afternoon
    across the developing warm sector. Still, most guidance shows that
    at least low 60s surface dewpoints and related low-level moisture
    will attempt to stream northward across eastern OK and AR/MO in
    tandem with a strong southerly low-level jet today. Although daytime
    heating will likely be hampered to some extent, even 500-1000 J/kg
    of MLCAPE will support surface-based thunderstorms by this
    afternoon. This destabilization appears likely to occur in a narrow
    corridor along and just ahead of the surface low and related cold
    front. Rather strong deep-layer shear will easily support organized
    updrafts, including the potential for a mix of supercells and broken
    line segments.

    Current expectations are for robust thunderstorms to develop
    along/near the front across eastern OK and vicinity by early
    afternoon (17-19Z), as pronounced large-scale ascent associated with
    the ejecting shortwave trough impinges on the warm sector. Given a
    weakly unstable and strongly sheared environment, this convection
    should intensify fairly quickly as it moves east-northeastward into
    AR/MO. The linear forcing of the front suggests that a line or
    cluster mode should occur, although some high-resolution guidance
    does show more of a broken line of supercells given the strength of
    the deep-layer shear. Regardless, the threat for scattered to
    numerous severe/damaging winds and tornadoes will increase this
    afternoon and evening across the Enhanced Risk and vicinity, as a
    40-55 kt southerly low-level jet aids in large 0-3 km hodograph
    curvature and elongation. Given the forecast strength of the
    low-level shear, some of these tornadoes could be strong (EF-2+),
    especially if a mixed supercell/cluster mode can be maintained
    versus linear. Hail may also occur with any sustained supercells.
    The overall severe threat this evening and overnight will be
    tempered on the north by limited low-level moisture and instability,
    and on the east by gradually increasing MLCIN.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected today across parts of the ArkLaTex
    into the Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley, mainly this afternoon
    and evening. The best corridor for tornadoes (some of which could be
    strong) and scattered to numerous damaging winds should exist from central/northern Arkansas into Missouri.

    ...Synopsis...
    A compact upper low currently moving into western Oklahoma will
    shift quickly northeastward this afternoon and tonight, crossing
    eastern Kansas and western Missouri this evening and then continuing northeastward across Iowa and into Wisconsin tonight. Fast
    southwesterly flow aloft will exist in advance of this system,
    within the tight height gradient between this feature and the
    persistent ridge centered over the Southeast.

    At the surface, a developing low analyzed over western Oklahoma at
    15Z is forecast to progress northeastward across southeastern Kansas
    and Missouri through the afternoon, and then should continue
    northward toward -- and eventually into -- southern Wisconsin by
    early Monday morning. While a warm front lifts northward across the
    Mid Mississippi Valley/Midwest, a cold front trailing from the low
    will sweep eastward into/across Missouri and Arkansas this afternoon
    and evening, and then across the Mid and Lower Mississippi Valleys
    through the end of the period.

    ...Northeastern Texas northeastward to the western Illinois
    vicinity...
    An expansive area of multi-level cloud cover, along with ongoing
    convection, is evident across western and northern portions of the
    risk area late this morning, which continues to retard more
    substantial heating at this point. With that said, some breaks in
    the clouds are evident per recent visible imagery as far west as
    eastern Oklahoma, with thinning cloud cover with
    eastward/northeastward extent into Arkansas and the Ozarks.

    As the surface low over Oklahoma deepens through the day in tandem
    with the advance of the upper low, northward advance of the warm
    front with time will allow a moist boundary layer to likewise
    overspread much of Missouri and Illinois through sunset. This,
    combined with at least modest heating across portions of the area
    should yield an amply unstable environment (500 to near 1500 J/kg
    mixed-layer CAPE) to gradually evolve -- supporting a steady
    increase in convective coverage and intensity this afternoon.

    In contrast to the rather modest thermodynamic environment, a very
    favorable low-level and deep-layer wind field is evident, with
    respect to development of organized/rotating storms. An 80 kt
    mid-level jet will spread northeastward across the risk area with
    time, atop a 50-plus kt low-level jet. This will support vigorous
    updraft evolution, with all-hazards severe risk evolving as a
    result. At this time, it remains apparent that tornado potential --
    including risk for a couple of strong tornadoes -- should maximize
    across the Ozarks, and areas just north and south, as surface winds
    back to southeasterly ahead of the deepening/advancing surface low.
    The primary risk should evolve with an anticipated, broken band of
    storms within the cold-frontal zone, including embedded supercells.

    Along with the tornado potential, fairly widespread coverage of
    damaging wind gusts is also expected, as complex, LEWP/bow-type
    structures are expected within the band of storms, as convection
    advances eastward across Missouri and Arkansas toward the
    Mississippi Valley through the afternoon and into the evening hours.
    Severe risk is expected to expand as far north as southeastern Iowa
    and adjacent western Illinois this evening, where weaker instability
    is expected, and as far south as eastern Texas where a weaker wind
    field with southward extent should limit severe potential on the
    southern fringe. Risk should very gradually diminish overnight as
    convection shifts eastward across the Mid-Mississippi Valley.

    A broken line of thunderstorm activity continues near the surface
    low in northeastern OK/southeastern KS and along an attendant
    surface cold front extending from eastern OK southward into
    northeastern Texas/southern Arkansas. This activity is expected to
    continue to shift north and eastward through time as the low tracks
    to the east through the afternoon and evening.

    Storm intensity has been increasing over the last couple of hours,
    owing to daytime heating ahead of the front, where MLCAPE around
    500-1500 J/kg is observed in surface objective analysis. VAD
    profiles across eastern Arkansas northward into Missouri show strong
    low-level shear in place, with large curved hodographs and rich
    low-level SRH. This trend will continue with the strengthening
    low-level jet lifting through the Mississippi Valley into the
    Midwest this evening, supporting risk for embedded supercells and
    tornadoes, a few of which may be strong. In addition to the tornado
    threat, bowing structures along the front will support risk for
    damaging winds. See MCD#502 and MCD#504 for more information.

    Thunderstorm coverage will increase along the southern portion of
    the front in central/eastern Texas into Louisiana through the
    afternoon and evening. This region is somewhat removed from the area
    of greater low and mid-level flow, which will keep severe potential
    more limited. See previous discussion for more information.

    damaging wind gusts is also expected, as complex, LEWP/bow-type
    structures are expected within the band of storms, as convection
    advances eastward across Missouri and Arkansas toward the
    Mississippi Valley through the afternoon and into the evening hours.
    Severe risk is expected to expand as far north as southeastern Iowa
    and adjacent western Illinois this evening, where weaker instability
    is expected, and as far south as eastern Texas where a weaker wind
    field with southward extent should limit severe potential on the
    southern fringe. Risk should very gradually diminish overnight as
    convection shifts eastward across the Mid-Mississippi Valley.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms will spread across the mid Mississippi Valley
    into western Tennessee this evening. A few tornadoes remain
    possible, along with the threat of wind and perhaps some hail.

    ...01z Update...

    Strong negative-tilt short-wave trough is ejecting northeast across
    eastern KS/western MO early this evening. This feature is
    contributing to an elongated band of convection that currently arcs
    from western IL-southeast MO-central AR-southeast TX, coincident
    with the primary synoptic cold front surging east. Over the last few
    hours the most concentrated corridor of supercells has shifted into
    eastern AR where no less than four distinct supercells are spreading
    across western portions of ww156. Latest model guidance suggests the
    LLJ will increase across northern MS/western TN/KY later this
    evening. There is some concern this activity may spread a bit
    farther downstream than depicted in earlier day1 convective outlook.
    Forecast sounding for MEM at 06z exhibits more than adequate SBCAPE
    for robust updrafts, and strong shear is favorable for the
    maintenance of these storms. Will adjust the SLGT/MRGL Risks east to
    account for this scenario.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL GULF STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong storms are possible across the upper Ohio Valley and
    across portions of the central Gulf States. Gusty winds and
    marginally severe hail are the primary risks.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley...

    Mid-MS Valley short-wave trough is forecast to eject into the upper
    Great Lakes region by mid day as 70+kt 500mb speed max translates
    across northern IN into southern ON. 500mb wind fields will
    strengthen across the upper OH Valley in response to this feature as
    heights are suppressed ahead of the short wave. Latest model
    guidance suggests the associated cold front will surge into western
    OH/KY by 18z, subsequently advancing into western PA later in the
    evening. Modest boundary-layer heating should contribute to adequate
    buoyancy for robust updrafts, and scattered convection should
    develop ahead of the front as temperatures warm through the 70s.
    Gusty winds may accompany this activity, along with some risk for
    marginally severe hail.

    ...Central Gulf States...

    Synoptic front will trail across the TN Valley through the central
    Gulf States today serving as the focus for thunderstorms as
    convective temperatures are breached along this weakly-forced
    boundary. While 0-6km bulk shear should only be modest across this
    region, seasonally high PW values and MLCAPE in excess of 1500 J/kg
    suggest some risk for gusty winds and hail. Boundary-layer heating
    should prove instrumental in convective updraft strength today.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES...AND PORTIONS OF THE
    SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible today across
    the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes and parts of the Southeast.
    Damaging winds and marginally severe hail are the primary risks.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley to the Lower Great Lakes...
    An upper trough with an attendant 55-70 kt mid-level jet will
    advance east-northeastward from the Upper Midwest across the Great
    Lakes and Northeast today. A related surface low will develop
    northeastward into Ontario/Quebec, while a cold front sweeps
    eastward over the OH Valley and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and
    Northeast through this evening. Modest low-level moisture will
    advect northward ahead of this front in tandem with a strong
    southwesterly low-level jet. Even though this moisture will remain
    somewhat limited, filtered daytime heating and cool mid-level
    temperatures should aid weak destabilization in a narrow corridor
    along/ahead of the front by early afternoon. Thunderstorms that
    develop along the front may pose an isolated severe/damaging wind
    threat this afternoon and early evening given the expected strength
    of the low/mid-level flow. Occasional hail may also be noted with
    the strongest cores, and sufficient low-level shear should exist to
    support a tornado or two. The Marginal Risk has been expanded northward/eastward some based on latest guidance trends regarding
    sufficient destabilization to support surface-based convection.

    ...Southeast...
    The trailing portion of the surface cold front should make only slow east-southeastward progress today across the Southeast. This region
    will have weaker low/mid-level winds compared to locations farther
    north. Still, around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop by this
    afternoon along/ahead of the front, while 25-35 kt of deep-layer
    shear aids in modest updraft organization. Any thunderstorms which
    develop in this regime could pose an isolated threat for marginally
    severe hail and damaging winds. This threat should peak by mid
    afternoon, before gradually diminishing through the evening with the
    loss of daytime heating.

    ...Northern Plains...
    Gusty winds may occur with high-based convection this afternoon as a
    shortwave trough moves eastward over the northern Plains. However,
    low-level moisture and instability are both expected to remain very
    meager, which should preclude an organized severe wind threat.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Elevated thunderstorms may develop late tonight across parts of IA
    in a low-level warm advection regime. With MUCAPE forecast to remain
    less than 1000 J/kg, the potential for severe hail appears too
    limited to include low severe probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHERN
    MISSISSIPPI INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms, capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail
    and several tornadoes are still expected from the Sabine River
    Valley northeastward into the Mid-South and lower Mississippi and
    Ohio Valleys. Strong tornadoes, very large hail, and severe wind
    gusts are all possible.

    ...20Z Update...
    The primary changes made to the 20Z Convective Outlook Update were
    to trim severe probabilities from the west to account for the
    passage of the ongoing QLCS over the Mid-South into the Lower MS
    Valley region. Severe hail may still accompany the stronger storms
    along southern extent of or immediately ahead of the QLCS.
    Otherwise, strong to severe surface gusts and tornadoes (a couple of
    which may be strong) may occur with embedded mesovortices and LEWPs
    within the QLCS, as well as with any storms ahead of the line. See
    the previous outlook (below) for more details.

    ..Squitieri.. 04/05/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1140 AM CDT Sat Apr 05 2025/

    ...East TX/ArkLaTex to Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Severe storms continue to increase through late morning into midday
    especially across parts of Arkansas, with the upscale-growing
    MCS/bow echo near/northeast of the Little Rock area as of 1130 CDT.
    A 60 kt wind gust was recently measured at KLRF/North Little Rock.
    This bowing MCS should continue to favor the zone near/immediately
    north of the effective boundary that precedes it (roughly parallel
    to I-40), likely taking it into western Tennessee this afternoon,
    potentially near the Memphis metro vicinity. See Mesoscale
    Discussion 411 for additional details. A Moderate Risk upgrade has
    been introduced for this scenario, as well as potential
    semi-discrete warm-sector development later this afternoon to its
    south.

    Within the axis of a strong low-level jet (south-southwesterly 50-60
    kt across the ArkLaTex and ArkLaMiss), supercell longevity/tornado
    potential will be maximized with any diurnal warm-sector development
    that occurs away from (east-southeast of) the outflow-reinforced
    effective front, although the extent of that my tend to be somewhat
    curbed by persistent cloud cover and semi-mild mid-level
    temperatures (-9 or -10C at 500mb) into the warm sector.
    Additionally, deep-layer shear vectors will be largely parallel to
    the effective front regionally, suggestive of a mixed convective
    mode including HP supercells/smaller-scale bows in close proximity
    to the convectively modified effective front. The front will become
    more east/southeastward-progressive later this afternoon and tonight
    across east/southeast Texas, southern Arkansas, and Louisiana.
    Overall, some tornadoes are expected regionally, a few of which
    could be strong, aside from damaging winds and isolated large hail.

    ...Mid-South into the TN/OH Valleys...
    Farther north, the boundary will be less progressive throughout the morning/early afternoon, particularly north of a weak low currently
    over northeast Texas. The boundary will likely sharpen during this
    time, before then becoming more progressive once again as the
    convectively augmented shortwave trough currently moving into
    western Oklahoma progresses into the region. This will likely result
    in a bowing line segment with damaging gusts as the primary severe
    risk. However, given the strength of the low-level flow, some
    embedded tornado potential exists as well.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTHEAST
    MISSISSIPPI INTO FAR NORTHWEST ALABAMA AND ADJACENT SOUTHERN
    TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A broken line of storms with embedded bowing segments and supercells
    will continue east this evening/overnight through the parts of the
    Southeast into parts of the southern/central Appalachians. Strong
    tornadoes will remain possible in the Southeast and parts of the
    Mid-South. Large hail and damaging winds are also possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper-level trough in the Southwest will make eastward progress
    this evening into Sunday morning. A mid-level jet streak will pivot
    into Ozarks/Mid-South. Convection will continue to be focused along
    a surface boundary from near the Sabine Valley into Middle Tennessee
    and parts of the central Appalachians/upper Ohio Valley vicinity.

    ...Northeast Mississippi/Northwest Alabama and adjacent far southern Tennessee...
    The strongest ongoing storms are in northeast Mississippi where
    tornadoes have been observed. Rich moisture and locally backed
    surface winds are evident ahead of this activity. The 15% tornado
    probabilities have been adjusted for these storms. Given convective
    outflow in western/Middle Tennessee, it appears probable that some
    decrease in storm organization will eventually occur as storms
    interact with this outflow in Tennessee.

    ...Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama...
    Convection should eventually make more progress eastward this
    evening into Sunday morning as the trough pushes eastward. Observed
    soundings from LCH/LIX/JAN showed large MLCAPE, but mid-level lapse
    became more modest with eastward extent. Forcing from the
    trough/surface front should allow scattered storms to continue
    eastward. Strong shear and moderate buoyancy ahead of the front
    should promote a risk for damaging winds, particularly with any
    bowing segments that can develop. Large hail may occur with the
    strongest discrete elements. Given the eastward shift and some
    intensification of 850 mb winds into Mississippi over the next few
    hours, low-level shear will remain strong and support a threat for
    tornadoes (some of which could be strong).

    ...Portions of southern/central Appalachians Vicinity...
    Diminishing buoyancy with northward and eastward extent should
    generally limit the severe threat in these areas. However, strong
    flow and continued push of the ongoing convective line could promote
    a marginal risk for isolated wind damage.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM MISSISSIPPI
    DELTA INTO PARTS OF ALABAMA/GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A wind-damage and isolated tornado threat is possible on Sunday
    across parts of the Southeast. Marginally severe wind gusts will
    also be possible in parts of the southern Appalachians into southern
    Virginia.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positive-tilt trough will make modest eastward progress from the
    southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley today. A mid-level
    jet will intensify from the Mid-South into the
    Mid-Atlantic/Northeast. At the surface, a cold front will be
    situated in Mississippi Delta arcing northeastward into the
    southern/central Appalachians and though the DelMarVa. The front
    will continue its southeastward progress through the period. A moist
    airmass will be in place ahead of the front, particularly in the
    Southeast where dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s F appear
    probable.

    ...Southeast...
    A line of convection is expected to be ongoing early Sunday morning
    in eastern Mississippi and perhaps parts of western Alabama. Though
    the strongest upper-level winds will be behind the front, sufficient
    mid-level flow parallel to the boundary should maintain convective organization. Primarily linear convection with perhaps embedded
    supercells will be capable of wind damage and tornadoes. 850 mb
    winds are expected to translate east along/ahead of the convective
    line, maintaining a risk for tornadoes through the afternoon. It is
    possible a corridor of greater wind/tornado potential could develop, conditional on where surface heating can occur. Portions of
    southern/southeast Alabama into far west-central/southwest Georgia
    are areas that could remain relatively cloud free. Overall, the
    severe threat should be somewhat limited by poor mid-level lapse
    rates/warm air aloft as well as the potential for cloud cover.

    ...Southern Appalachians/Piedmont...
    Warmer air aloft is expected to have a greater influence over these
    regions. With less buoyancy anticipated through the
    morning/afternoon, convective intensity should remain muted. Given
    the strong shear across these areas, a few strong to severe storms
    may produce wind damage.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA...WESTERN
    GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A wind-damage and isolated tornado threat is possible today across
    parts of the Southeast. Marginally severe wind gusts will also be
    possible in parts of the southern Appalachians into southern
    Virginia.

    ...Synopsis...
    Elongated upper troughing currently extends from the central Plains southwestward through northern Mexico. A shortwave trough embedded
    within this larger upper troughing is currently moving northeastward
    through OK, while another embedded shortwave trough exists farther
    west over northwest Mexico. The surface pattern features a modest
    low over east-central MS, with a cold front extending southwestward
    through southeast LA. An outflow boundary also intersects this low,
    extending northeastward into northern GA. An extensive line of
    thunderstorms exists along these boundaries in relatively continuous
    line from south-central MS into northeast AL.

    The parent upper trough is forecast to gradually move eastward
    throughout the day, likely ending the period extended from the Ozark
    Plateau into central Mexico, with the embedded shortwaves making
    farther eastward/northeastward progression as well. The surface low
    is also expected to move gradually northeastward, with the cold
    front and associated convective line moving eastward throughout the
    day.

    ...Southeast...
    The airmass downstream of the ongoing convective line mentioned in
    the synopsis is characterized by dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s. Thermodynamic profiles are expected to remain relatively warm
    throughout the day, but the low-level moisture already in place
    should still support at least modest buoyancy ahead of the line as
    it progresses eastward. Though the strongest upper-level winds will
    be behind the front, sufficient mid-level flow parallel to the
    boundary combined with the modest buoyancy should maintain
    convective organization. Primary severe risk with this linear
    convection will be damaging gusts. Moderate to strong low-level flow
    is expected to persist along and ahead of the convective line as
    well, resulting in veering low-level wind profiles and enough
    low-level shear to support embedded supercells capable of wind
    damage and tornadoes.

    As mentioned in MCD #425, some near-term (i.e. through mid-morning)
    increase in convective organization is possible, due to a
    persistence of the strong low-level flow and deepening meso-low.
    This increased organization would resultant in a greater potential
    for strong gusts and/or tornadoes.

    ...Southern Appalachians/Piedmont...
    Warmer air aloft is expected to have a greater influence over these
    regions. With less buoyancy anticipated through the
    morning/afternoon, convective intensity should remain muted. Given
    the strong shear across these areas, a few strong to severe storms
    may produce wind damage.

    ...SUMMARY...
    While organized severe storms are unlikely, isolated strong storms
    may occur over far southern Florida and the Keys through early
    evening, and perhaps also across southeast Montana to the Black
    Hills.

    ...20z Update...
    No changes in forecast reasoning since the prior Outlook. The cold
    front will continue to spread south-southeastward across southern
    Florida, with thunderstorms increasingly relegated to the far
    southeast part of the Peninsula, Keys, and Florida Straits.

    ..Guyer.. 04/08/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1122 AM CDT Tue Apr 08 2025/

    ...South Florida/Keys...
    A cold front will continue to progress southeastward and move
    offshore by evening with scattered showers and thunderstorms
    continuing this afternoon ahead of it. While a couple of stronger
    storms could occur this afternoon through early evening, poor
    mid-level lapse rates and weak deep-layer shear should mitigate
    overall storm strength. A positively tilted shortwave trough will
    approach the region later tonight. But with the front having
    progressed offshore, thunderstorm potential (including any severe
    risk) over land should remain very low.

    ...North-central High Plains..
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move from the northern Rockies
    into the southern Canadian Prairies, while moderate mid-level flow
    expands eastward from the Pacific Northwest into the northern High
    Plains. Widely scattered high-based convection is possible during
    the afternoon and evening from southeast Montana/northern Wyoming to
    the Black Hills as modest large-scale ascent influences areas that
    have destabilized amid boundary-layer heating. Weak buoyancy should
    temper overall updraft strength, but a few instances of
    stronger/gusty thunderstorm winds may occur.

    offshore by evening with scattered showers and thunderstorms
    continuing this afternoon ahead of it. While a couple of stronger
    storms could occur this afternoon through early evening, poor
    mid-level lapse rates and weak deep-layer shear should mitigate
    overall storm strength. A positively tilted shortwave trough will
    approach the region later tonight. But with the front having
    progressed offshore, thunderstorm potential (including any severe
    risk) over land should remain very low.

    ...North-central High Plains..
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move from the northern Rockies
    into the southern Canadian Prairies, while moderate mid-level flow
    expands eastward from the Pacific Northwest into the northern High
    Plains. Widely scattered high-based convection is possible during
    the afternoon and evening from southeast Montana/northern Wyoming to
    the Black Hills as modest large-scale ascent influences areas that
    have destabilized amid boundary-layer heating. Weak buoyancy should
    temper overall updraft strength, but a few instances of
    stronger/gusty thunderstorm winds may occur.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong storms may occur over far southern Florida and the
    Keys tonight into Wednesday morning, and from southeast Montana to
    the Black Hills.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positive-tilt trough in the western Gulf will slide eastward
    through the day. This trough will eventually reach the Florida
    Peninsula late tonight into Wednesday morning. In the West, an upper
    ridge will build with the strongest flow aloft situated over the
    Northwest into the northern Rockies and adjacent High Plains. At the
    surface, a weak cold front across South Florida will be a focus for
    convection.

    ...South Florida/Keys...
    Showers and thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing early this
    morning in central/South Florida. This activity and associated cloud
    cover should limit/slow destabilization along the weakly convergent
    front. Where greater heating can occur, a stronger storm or two
    would be possible. Given weak low-level lapse rates and wind fields,
    gusty winds would be the likely hazards from this activity.
    Mid-level lapse rates will also be poor and large hail does not
    appear likely. Convection during the afternoon will likely struggle
    to organize as effective shear will be 25 kts or less. By late
    afternoon into the evening, stronger flow aloft will reach the
    Keys/far South Florida. By this time, however, buoyancy will be
    weakening and storms are not likely to be surface based.

    ...Southeast Montana into the Black Hills...
    Despite limited moisture, thunderstorm development within the higher
    terrain of Montana is possible with embedded shortwave perturbations
    passing through the region. Steep low/mid-level lapse rates and
    strong shear may promote a few stronger storms capable of small hail
    and strong outflow winds during the afternoon and early evening.
    Weak buoyancy will limit storm intensity.

    Isolated strong storms may occur over far southern Florida and the
    Keys today into Wednesday morning, and from southeast Montana to the
    Black Hills.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A slow-moving cold front continues to push southward across central
    FL. This front is expected to continue southward throughout the day, progressing through South FL and offshore by this evening. Isolated
    showers and thunderstorms are anticipated in the vicinity of this
    boundary, but poor lapse rates and weak shear should mitigate
    overall storm strength.

    A positively tilted shortwave trough is expected to track eastward
    across the Gulf today, reaching the FL Peninsula by early Wednesday
    morning. A post-frontal airmass will exist across the peninsula
    whenever this shortwave arrives, which will keep thunderstorm
    chances over land very low.

    Farther north and west, a shortwave trough is forecast to move from
    the northern Rockies into the southern Canadian Prairies, while
    moderate mid-level flow expands eastward from the Pacific Northwest
    into the northern High Plains. Some high-based convection is
    possible during the afternoon and evening from southeast MT/northern
    WY into the Black Hills as modest large-scale ascent occurs over

    buoyancy should temper overall updraft strength, but a few gusty

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong to severe storms capable of wind damage and
    perhaps a brief tornado are possible in parts of eastern North
    Carolina into mid-evening before activity moves offshore.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large upper-level trough continues eastward this evening and is
    supporting convection along a cold front near the southeastern
    Atlantic coastline. This front is nearly offshore in southeastern
    Georgia and much of coastal South Carolina. In eastern North
    Carolina, the front will reach the coast sometime in the 10 PM - 12
    AM EDT.

    ...Eastern North Carolina...
    One more prominent linear segment is moving northeastward south of a
    warm front just south of the Virginia border. The observed 00Z
    sounding from Morehead showed poor mid-level lapse rates. Objective mesoanalysis suggests MLCAPE may be around 250-500 J/kg. Continued
    forcing from the approaching trough and strong effective shear
    (45-55 kts) will support a few more hours of wind damage and brief
    tornado potential this evening.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe weather is not expected through Wednesday morning.
    Isolated strong storms remain possible over the next few hours in
    South Florida and the Keys as well as western South Dakota.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough continues to approach the Florida Peninsula this
    evening. A weak surface boundary that is currently offshore may
    provide some focus for thunderstorms tonight. Another shortwave
    trough in Montana is responsible for isolated strong convection
    moving into western South Dakota. This activity may continue another
    couple of hours before weakening.

    ...South Dakota...
    The low-level airmass is quite dry; however, moisture is sufficient
    for isolated convection on the southern fringe of the shortwave
    trough. Small hail may occur with this activity, but the dry
    boundary layer is more likely to support strong to potentially
    marginally severe wind gusts. Activity should weaken over the next
    couple of hours and coverage will remain too isolated for adding
    severe probabilities.

    ...South Florida/Keys...
    The approach of the shortwave trough may promote a modest increase
    in convection along and near the surface boundary. Given diminishing
    surface temperatures and increase MLCIN, storms will become
    increasingly elevated with time. A strong gust could occur with the
    strongest storms, but this potential should remain spatially
    limited.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Midwest, the Upper
    Midwest, and the northern High Plains, though severe storms are not
    expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough in the northern Plains early this morning will
    move southeastward into the mid-Mississippi Valley and undergo
    modest amplification. A weak surface low will move swiftly
    southeastward along with the trough. A warm front will be positioned
    within parts of the Upper Midwest with a cold front southwestward
    from the low into the central/southern Plains.

    With the recent intrusion of cooler air into much of the Gulf,
    moisture availability will be quite limited -- which is also quite
    evident in this evenings observed soundings in the Southeast. Even
    so, some thunderstorm activity will be possible as warm-air
    advection into the warm front promotes lift. To the northwest of the
    surface low, steep low/mid-level lapse rates may allow for isolated
    to widely scattered storms in parts of the northern/central Plains.

    ...Mid-Mississippi/Lower Ohio Valleys...
    Showers and thunderstorms are possible early this morning driven by
    the amplifying shortwave trough and low-level warm advection.
    Mid/upper-level clouds are already moving into the region late on
    Tuesday and forecast soundings suggest some cloud cover will persist
    into the afternoon as well. With a generally dry boundary layer and
    weak destabilization, most activity in Illinois into the Ohio Valley
    region will likely be elevated. severe potential appears quite
    limited, but small hail could occur with the strongest storms.

    Closer to the surface low/cold front in northeastern Missouri and
    far west-central Illinois, it is possible that greater
    destabilization could occur. Models show some signal for a narrow
    zone of greater moisture return ahead of the front and these areas
    will be on the eastern periphery of a steep mid-level lapse rate
    plume. Current surface observations still suggest the moisture
    return depicted in models may be too aggressive. If upper 40s F
    dewpoints can reach farther north than expected, there would be some
    potential for a surface based storm. The upper-bound severe
    potential would likely be marginally severe hail. Uncertainty is too
    high and coverage is too low for unconditional severe probabilities.

    ...Lower Missouri Valley Vicinity...
    Despite dewpoints around the mid 30s F, very cold temperatures aloft
    (-20 to -24 C at 500 mb) will support isolated to widely scattered
    convection during the afternoon. Buoyancy is expected to be quite
    weak, but large boundary layer dewpoint depressions could promote
    some stronger wind gusts.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible from the northern Plains into the Upper
    Midwest as well as across portions of the Midwest and central
    Plains. Severe storms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Shortwave trough currently moving through the northern Plains is
    forecast to continue southeastward throughout the day, reaching the
    Mid MS Valley by early tomorrow. Some modest amplification of this
    shortwave is expected as a jet streak progresses through it base. An
    attendant surface low, currently over southeast NE, will move
    eastward just ahead of its parent shortwave, reaching the Mid MS
    Valley tonight and the middle OH Valley by early tomorrow morning.
    An associated cold front will push southeastward through MO, KS and
    OK.

    Limited moisture return will keep buoyancy muted ahead of the front,
    keeping the potential for surface-based thunderstorm development
    along the front low. Cooling mid-level temperatures and moistening low/mid-levels will likely result in isolated elevated thunderstorms
    across IL during the early evening. Persistent warm-air advection
    along the front should allow for isolated thunderstorms to continue
    throughout the evening and overnight across central/southern IN, KY,
    and western/middle TN. An isolated instance or two of small hail is
    possible but any severe threat should be tempered by limited
    buoyancy.

    Farther west, a separate, lower amplitude shortwave trough is
    expected to move eastward from the northern Rockies into the
    northern/central Plains. Large-scale ascent attendant to this
    shortwave will spread into the northern and central Plains near peak
    heating. Modest airmass destabilization is anticipated from the
    Black Hills across NE where deep mixing is likely, as well as
    farther north from eastern MT/western ND into MN where cold
    mid-level temperatures are expected. Isolated thunderstorms are
    possible within these corridors. Overall severe potential will be
    very low, but the high-based character of these storms could result
    in a strong downdraft or two.

    Earlier thoughts regarding convection remain. Strong mid-level speed
    max is digging southeast across the central Plains and this will
    allow steep mid-level lapse rates to overspread areas along a
    corridor from the northern Plains into the Ohio Valley. Isolated
    thunderstorms are currently noted along this corridor and this type
    of convection can be expected into the pre-dawn hours, especially
    over the lower OH Valley where LLJ will be focused. Weak instability
    does not warrant any meaningful risk of severe.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
    THE LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms are expected from portions of
    the lower Ohio Valley into the Deep South this afternoon. Hail and
    wind are the primary concerns.

    ...Discussion...

    Strong 500mb speed max is translating across the central Plains
    toward the Mid South. This will allow an upper trough to deepen east
    of the MS River, and heights will fall accordingly as seasonally
    cool mid-tropospheric temperatures settle into this region. Latest
    model guidance suggests 500mb, -20C isotherm will extend across
    northern GA/AL/MS by 18z, which results in very steep lapse rates
    north of the digging jet.

    Surface reflection to this digging trough is somewhat disjointed and
    not particularly focused, though a synoptic front should extend
    across southeast MO-central AR-northeast TX by mid day. Subsequent
    southeast movement will take this boundary to near the central Gulf
    Coast by sunrise Friday. Current thinking is strong boundary-layer
    heating will allow convective temperatures to be breached by 19-20z
    across portions of MO/IL along the weakly convergent front. While
    moisture is quite limited ahead of the front, cool profiles favor
    the potential for robust convection. This activity will spread
    southeast toward the northern Gulf States with an attendant threat
    of hail and wind.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
    AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT FROM THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO NORTHEAST KANSAS
    AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated large hail and strong-severe outflow gusts are possible
    this evening into tonight from parts of the southern and central
    Plains into the lower to mid Missouri Valley.

    ...TX Panhandle to northeast KS and vicinity through tonight...
    Midlevel ridging will shift slowly eastward from the Great Plains to
    the MS Valley by tonight, as a midlevel trough digs southward toward
    the northern Great Basin and begins to phase with a closed low off
    the CA coast. This pattern will favor west-southwesterly flow over
    the Rockies and lee cyclogenesis across the central High Plains.
    Northward advection of a modifying Gulf air mass will occur from TX
    to KS, beneath an elevated mixed layer. Thunderstorm development
    will become possible late this afternoon/evening from the TX
    Panhandle into southwest KS, where surface heating and sufficiently
    deep mixing occur along the developing dryline. MLCAPE of 1000-1500
    J/kg and long hodographs will favor high-based supercells capable of
    producing isolated large hail and strong-severe outflow gusts.
    Confidence in diurnal storm development is modest, but storms that
    form (especially across KS) could persist/spread eastward overnight
    with a strengthening low-level jet and associated warm advection.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
    AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT FROM THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO NORTHEAST KANSAS
    AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated large hail and strong-severe outflow gusts are possible
    this evening into tonight from parts of the southern and central
    Plains into the lower to mid Missouri Valley.

    ...TX Panhandle to northeast KS and vicinity through tonight...
    Upper ridging that currently extends from the southern Plains into
    eastern Manitoba/northwest Ontario is forecast to shift eastward
    throughout the period. This eastward shift will occur as a shortwave
    trough drops south-southeastward through the Pacific
    Northwest/northern Rockies, phasing with the upper low off the
    southern/central CA Coast as it does. This evolution will result in strengthening southwesterly flow aloft from the Southwest into the
    central Plains, which in turn will foster a deepening lee surface
    trough across the High Plains and eventual surface cyclogenesis over
    the central High Plains.

    Moisture return will also increase across the southern Plains, with
    upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints likely across much of OK by this
    evening. Some thunderstorm development could occur during the late afternoon/early evening where the western edge of this moisture
    interacts with a dryline that extends south from the developing
    central High Plains surface low. Convergence along this boundary
    will be modest and convective initiation remains uncertain given the
    warm mid-level temperatures and resultant capping. Even so, an
    isolated storm or two appears possible from southwest KS into the
    eastern TX Panhandle. Strong mid-level flow (and resulting long
    hodographs) support a supercellular storm mode with any convection
    that is also to deepen and persist. Large hail and damaging gusts
    would be possible with any supercells.

    Higher thunderstorm coverage is anticipated later tonight as the
    surface low and any afternoon storms move eastward across southwest/south-central KS into the greater low-level moisture, and
    a strengthening low-level jet fosters increased warm-air advection.
    Hail will likely be the primary risk with these storms, but the dry
    subcloud layer in place could still support a few gusts to the
    surface as well. Overall severe coverage is still expected to remain
    low enough to keep 5%/Marginal probabilities.

    period. Robust convection is expected to develop along the nose of
    the LLJ later this evening, and one or more clusters of storms
    should propagate across the central Plains into western MO. Hail and
    wind are possible with this activity.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS
    OF EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected, mainly from
    late afternoon into the evening, across parts of the eastern Central
    Plains to the Upper Midwest. Large to very large hail and localized
    damaging winds are the primary risks.

    ...Central Plains to the Upper Midwest...

    Mean upper ridge is forecast to shift east during the period as a
    broad corridor of mid-level height falls spread across much of the
    Rockies into the upper MS Valley region. As this occurs,
    southwesterly flow will strengthen across the southern
    Rockies-central Plains-Upper Midwest. This evolution supports
    surface pressure rises across the northern Plains and a pronounced
    cold front will surge into southern MN-northwest IA-eastern NE by
    18/00z. Strong boundary-layer heating is forecast south of this wind
    shift from eastern CO into southeast NE. As temperatures rise
    through the mid 80s, convective temperatures will be breached and
    frontal convergence should encourage thunderstorm development by
    22-23z. Wile PW values are a bit marginal, surface dew points should
    rise into the mid 50s, and SBCAPE is expected to exceed 2500 J/kg by
    peak heating along the northeastern edge of the steeper lapse rate
    plume. HRRR forecast sounding for OMA at 18/00z exhibits very strong
    deep-layer shear with substantial 0-3km SRH. It appears scattered
    supercells may ultimately evolve along a corridor from southeast NE
    into southwest IA, and this activity will likely prove efficient in
    generating hail. Hail in excess of 2 inches may be noted in the most
    robust updrafts due to favorable hodographs. Although moisture is a
    bit scant, a narrow window for tornadoes does appear to exist if dew
    points can rise into the upper 50s, and this is most likely across
    portions of eastern NE into western IA.

    Supercell threat will spread northeast along the nose of a
    strengthening LLJ into the Upper Midwest during the evening hours;
    however, conditions downstream will be less favorable for
    surface-based convection by mid evening, and elevated updrafts
    should be more common.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
    AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TONIGHT FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN AND
    CENTRAL IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected, mainly from
    late afternoon into early tonight from eastern Nebraska into western
    and central Iowa. Very large hail to 3 inches in diameter or
    greater, isolated severe gusts of 60-70 mph, and a couple of
    tornadoes will all be possible.

    ...NE/IA/MN/MO through early tonight...
    Southwest mid-upper flow will persist through the period from the
    southern High Plains to the central Plains and upper MS Valley,
    downstream from a large-scale, positive-tilt trough from MB to the
    Great Basin. A weak surface wave is expected to move along an
    associated baroclinic from the mid MO Valley to the upper MS Valley,
    while a lee cyclone develops south-southeastward across the central
    High Plains. A modifying Gulf air mass (boundary-layer dewpoints in
    the mid 50s to low 60s) will continue to spread northward in the
    warm sector from the southern Plains to eastern KS, IA and southern
    MN, beneath the eastern extent of a relatively warm EML.

    A cluster of elevated storms, with embedded supercell structures, is
    ongoing over southwest MO. These storms are expected to weaken this
    morning as the low-level jet and associated warm advection diminish,
    coincident with the eastward expansion of the EML. In the interim,
    isolated large hail (around 1 inch diameter) and strong gusts (50-60
    mph) will be possible for a couple of hours this morning across
    southwest MO. In the wake of the morning convection, surface
    heating and continued moisture advection will result in steady
    destabilization from eastern KS to eastern NE/western IA and
    southern MN. Thunderstorm development is expected near 20z into
    southern MN where the cap will be a little weaker, and after about
    22z in eastern NE (near and just east of the cold front/dryline
    triple point).

    The storm environment into southern MN will favor a mix of
    supercells and storm clusters capable of producing large hail
    (generally 1-1.75 inch diameter) and isolated strong-severe gusts
    (50-60 mph). The environment farther south will favor a long-track
    supercell or two from eastern NE this evening into western/central
    IA through early tonight, potentially affecting Omaha and Des
    Moines. Steep midlevel lapse rates, MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg and
    long hodographs through a deep layer will favor swaths of very large
    hail (up to 3 inch diameter or greater) and occasional severe gusts
    of 60-70 mph. There will be a narrow window of opportunity for a
    couple of tornadoes this evening with sufficient moisture
    (boundary-layer dewpoints near 60 F) as low-level shear increases.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible across
    parts of the southern/central Plains, mainly this afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and severe gusts should be the main threats.

    ...20z Update...
    The primary change for this forecast update is an inclusion of
    significant hail/wind areas to portions of western TX into far
    southwestern OK. Recent GOES visible imagery shows developing
    cumulus across the Trans Pecos region of southwest TX and across
    parts of the southern TX Panhandle. This lends confidence in
    convective development within the coming hours as anticipated by
    recent high-res guidance. The combination of low-level moisture
    return and steep/very steep (8-9 C/km) mid-level lapse rates is
    supporting lifted indices of -8 to -10 C across the Stockton and
    eastern Edwards plateaus. This thermodynamic environment, coupled
    with 30-40 knots of effective bulk shear, should favor robust
    supercell development with the potential for significant (2+ inch)
    hail. Recent WOFS guidance appears to be capturing ongoing
    convective trends in southwest TX well, and also hints at this
    potential. Further north, very steep low-level lapse rates should
    promote downdraft accelerations that may favor isolated gusts
    upwards of 70-80 mph. This potential is also hinted in recent WOFS
    and HRRR solutions. See MCD #516 for additional near-term details
    regarding western TX.

    ...Southeast Virginia...
    Hail/wind risk probabilities are also expanded into far southeast VA
    downstream of ongoing strong/severe thunderstorms where broken cloud
    cover has allowed temperatures to warm into the low 80s with an
    attendant increase in buoyancy. See MCD #515 for additional details.

    ..Moore.. 04/22/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1117 AM CDT Tue Apr 22 2025/

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows broad zonal flow across the
    central US, with the main upper jet across the northern states.
    Mostly clear skies and southerly low-level winds across much of west
    TX/OK and central KS will help to destabilize the air mass along a
    developing dryline, leading to afternoon MLCAPE values around 1500
    J/kg and minimal cap. Large scale forcing is weak, but dryline
    circulations will likely lead to scattered afternoon and early
    evening thunderstorm development. Relatively slow-moving storms
    capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts are expected. Several
    12z CAM solutions suggest upscale growth of convection over
    northwest TX after dark, with some risk of strong/severe storms
    reaching central TX overnight.

    ...IA/MO/IL...
    A weak surface boundary extends across southern IA this morning.
    The southern fringe of stronger westerly flow aloft lies across this
    region, with water vapor imagery suggesting a subtle shortwave
    trough over NE approaching the region. A few thunderstorms are
    expected to form along the boundary by late afternoon/early evening,
    with some risk of hail and gusty winds in the strongest storms.

    ...Southeast States...
    A diffuse surface boundary extends from LA northeastward across
    MS/AL/GA into the Carolinas. Ample low and mid-level moisture along
    the boundary will lead to scattered afternoon thunderstorms.
    Forecast soundings show relatively weak low-level winds and poor
    mid-level lapse rates. While a few storms could produce gusty
    winds, organized severe storm risk appears marginal today.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible across parts of the southern/central Plains this evening, with isolated strong activity
    over Louisiana and later tonight into Iowa.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Scattered storms currently stretch from south-central KS into much
    of West TX, where strong heating occurred this afternoon along the
    leading edge of the moisture return. Cool midlevel temperatures as
    well as modest mid to high level flow will continue to support large
    hail. Some of these storms may congeal into cluster with damaging
    outflow, perhaps across northwest TX and southwest OK later tonight.
    For more information see forthcoming mesoscale discussion 520.

    ...Elsewhere...
    Isolated strong storms persist this evening over Louisiana, where
    moderate instability developed today. These slow moving cells may
    continue to produce marginal hail for an hour or two before
    dissipating with the loss of heating.

    Farther north, increasing southwest flow around 850 mb will
    transport moisture into NE/IA, as an upper trough over the northern
    Plains glances the area. Scattered elevated storms are expected late
    tonight, and cold midlevel temperatures and modest shear in the
    cloud-bearing layer may support sporadic hail.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST TEXAS
    INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are forecast over parts of Kansas,
    Oklahoma, and West Texas today and tonight, with damaging winds and
    hail possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A split flow regime will exist today with the northern storm track
    from the northern Plains across the Great Lakes and into the
    Northeast. To the south, stronger flow aloft will exist over much of
    Baja CA and Mexico, and across the Rio Grande Valley in TX. For much
    of the central CONUS, cool midlevel temperatures will persist, with
    modest westerly flow and marginal overall shear.

    At the surface, a trough will deepen during the day over West TX,
    with southerly winds maintaining 60s F dewpoints across the southern
    Plains and lower MS Valley. The diurnally destabilizing and uncapped
    air mass will support clusters of storms from KS into northern OK,
    and along the surface trough over West TX. Sporadic strong storms
    will also be possible across North TX where instability will remain
    favorable.

    Farther north, a weak surface trough will provide a focus from IA
    into WI and toward Lake MI, with marginal hail possible.

    Elsewhere, widely scattered strong storms are expected over parts of
    the Southeast, with stronger instability over eastern GA and SC
    supporting locally strong gusts.

    ...OK...North TX...ArkLaTex...
    Clusters of storms may be ongoing over southern OK and North Texas
    early today as activity moves in from the northwest from the
    previous night. Heating ahead of any such activity will support over
    2000 J/kg MLCAPE with weak but veering winds with height favoring
    south/east propagation. Locally strong gusts appear to be the main
    threat with any such activity.

    ...Central and southern Plains...
    Heating will lead to MUCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg from western KS into
    parts of West TX this afternoon. Heating near the surface trough
    should support isolated activity over TX with slow-moving storms
    producing large hail. Northern areas from western KS into northwest
    OK may experience one or more clusters or an MCS as storms over far
    southeast CO produce outflow and move into KS and the Panhandles
    though the evening.

    ...IA into southern WI and toward western/northern lower MI...
    Areas of heating along with a plume of 50s F dewpoints near the
    surface trough will support scattered storms during the day. Steep
    lapse rates aloft and favorable deep-layer shear will support
    marginal hail.

    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast over parts of
    the southern/central Plains today and tonight, with large hail and
    damaging winds possible.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    Convective clusters have persisted through the early morning hours
    across parts of TX, aided by modest low-level warm/moist advection.
    This activity has generally weakened, but it could still pose some
    threat for mainly isolated gusty winds towards the ArkLaTex and
    Upper TX Coast. In its wake, a convectively overturned airmass will
    exist today over much of central TX, while modified low-level
    moisture will once again advect west-northwestward over the
    southern/central High Plains. A similar convective scenario to
    yesterday remains apparent, with generally modest west-southwesterly
    mid-level flow present over much of the southern/central Plains.
    Multiple low-amplitude perturbations should advance
    east-northeastward in this regime across the central CONUS through
    the period. At the surface, a front draped southwest to northeast
    over the central Plains and a dryline extending southward over the
    southern Plains should both serve as foci for convective initiation
    later today.

    Steep mid-level lapse rates are once again expected to be in place
    across the warm sector. Diurnal heating of a modestly moist
    low-level airmass in combination with these steep lapse rates should
    aid in the development of moderate to locally strong instability by
    mid afternoon. Weak low-level winds veering and gradually
    strengthening with height through mid/upper levels will foster
    around 25-35 kt of effective bulk shear, which should be adequate
    for modest convective organization. Current expectations are for
    isolated to scattered thunderstorms to once again develop along both
    the front and dryline by mid to late afternoon. A mix of multicells
    and slow-moving supercells is anticipated, with associated threats
    for both severe/damaging winds and large hail.

    The Slight Risk has been expanded northeastward across KS and into
    far southern NE based on latest guidance trends showing greater
    coverage of potentially intense thunderstorms this afternoon/evening
    along and near the front. The potential for thunderstorms to grow
    upscale into one or more clusters this evening remains uncertain
    owing to weak large-scale forcing for ascent. Even so, a
    strengthening low-level jet overnight may aid in convective
    longevity and a continued threat for isolated damaging winds.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Daytime heating along with a plume of modest low-level moisture
    along/near a surface front should aid in the development of isolated
    to scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Steep lapse rates aloft
    and favorable deep-layer shear may support isolated hail and gusty
    winds with this activity through the early evening, before it
    eventually weakens with the loss of daytime heating.

    ...Southeast...
    Isolated instances of marginally severe hail and/or damaging winds
    may occur with convection forecast to increase in coverage this
    afternoon across parts of the Southeast along/south of a remnant
    surface front. Generally modest flow aloft and weak deep-layer shear
    should keep the overall severe threat fairly isolated/marginal.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast over parts of
    the southern/central Plains today and tonight, with large hail and
    damaging winds possible.

    ...Central and Southern High Plains...
    Modest zonal flow pattern persists across the Plains states today,
    with only weak large scale forcing anticipated. However, strong
    heating across the High Plains, coupled with circulations along a
    diffuse dryline and forcing associated with the nocturnal low-level
    jet will aid in the development of scattered thunderstorms from
    western KS into the TX Panhandle this afternoon and evening.

    The area of greatest concentration of storms will likely be over
    western KS, where model guidance shows greatest confidence in a
    strengthening low-level jet and some upper support. Storms should
    develop by late afternoon, with forecast soundings showing
    sufficient deep-layer shear for supercell structures. Large hail
    will be the main concern. Low-level moisture will be marginal, but
    enlarging hodographs by early evening could also support a risk of a
    few tornadoes.

    Farther south, thunderstorm coverage will be more widely scattered
    across the TX Panhandle into the Big Bend region. Nevertheless,
    steep mid-level lapse rates and sufficient westerly flow aloft will
    pose a risk of a few supercells capable of large hail and damaging
    winds through the evening.

    ...Northeast KS...
    A small cluster of strong storms has developed this morning over
    central KS. Several morning CAM solutions suggest an increasing
    risk of thunderstorm development/intensification by mid-afternoon
    over northeast KS - in vicinity of a weak surface boundary. While
    this scenario is unclear, a few of these storms could pose a risk of
    large hail and gusty/damaging winds.

    ...Southeast States...
    Strong daytime heating will aid in destabilization across much of
    GA/SC this afternoon, with scattered thunderstorm development
    expected. Winds aloft are weak and storms should be relatively
    disorganized. However, cool temperatures aloft will aid in a few
    robust updrafts - posing some risk of hail and gusty winds.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are forecast over parts of
    the southern/central Plains today and tonight, with large hail and
    damaging winds possible.

    ...20z Update...
    The previous forecast generally remains on track with only minor
    adjustments needed. A slight westward expansion of 5% hail/wind
    probabilities across southeast CO where convective initiation is
    underway along the Raton Mesa upstream of a moist/unstable
    environment. A significant hail area has also been introduced for
    portions of western KS where backed low-level flow within a
    moderately unstable environment (MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg) should
    promote robust supercells with an attendant large/very large hail
    threat. Consideration was given to introducing significant hail/wind
    areas across parts of southwest TX; however, recent ACARS and RAP
    forecast soundings show somewhat weaker mid-level winds (15-20
    knots) compared to yesterday when significant hail/wind occurred in
    a similar thermodynamic environment. This, combined with the
    potential for more limited convective coverage, limits confidence in
    a sufficiently widespread significant hail/wind threat to warrant
    additional probabilities. See the previous discussion and recently
    issued MCDs #527 and #528 for additional details.

    Scattered severe storms persist this evening across much of West TX
    and western KS, with a combination of splitting cells and clusters.
    These storms will likely persist through the evening due to little
    if any capping, with only a gradual consolidation/pruning in
    coverage. The most unstable air will remain from central into
    northwest TX, with isolated significant hail threat. In addition to
    large hail, merging storms and aggregate outflows may locally
    produce wind damage. Winds just off the surface will increase in
    speed tonight, which will maintain theta-e advection and increase
    low-level shear a bit as well.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from eastern Colorado
    into Kansas, and southward across west Texas and Oklahoma. Large
    hail and locally strong wind gusts will be possible with this
    activity.

    ...Synopsis...
    Midlevel winds across most of the CONUS will remain relatively weak
    today, the exceptions being from the Great Lakes into the Northeast,
    and into the Southwest late. However, embedded disturbances
    associated with ares of thunderstorms will influence their nearby
    environments, with 35-45 kt speed at 500 mb. In the upper levels,
    the split flow regime is more apparent with stronger westerlies
    across the Southwest, Mexico, and the southern Plains, while rising
    heights and stronger anticyclonic flow shift into eastern Canada.

    At the surface, southerly winds around the western Atlantic high
    will maintain low-level moisture off the Gulf over the southern
    Plains and Southeast, again resulting in areas of moderate to strong instability from KS into West TX. A boundary will stretch roughly
    from southern Lower MI into KS through much of the day, with a
    surface trough from the OK/TX Panhandles south.

    ...Central and southern Plains...
    MLCAPE on the order of 2000-3000 J/kg appear likely to develop today
    south of the synoptic front from southern KS into western OK and
    West TX. Some potential may exist for a marginal MCS over OK or
    northern TX, but this is uncertain. However, any residual boundaries
    that survive may provide a focus for new development later in the
    day. The greatest threat will develop from southern KS into West TX
    during the late afternoon and into the evening. Here,
    widely-scattered, slow-moving supercells are again expected, with
    primary risk damaging hail. Isolated severe hail is expected as well
    over eastern CO, where substantial instability will develop with
    steep lapse rates. A few cells may trek eastward across the KS
    border during the evening.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today and
    tonight across parts of the southern/central Plains. Large to very
    large hail and severe wind gusts may occur with this activity.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    Aided by modest low-level warm/moist advection, an expansive but
    slow-moving MCS has persisted through the early-morning hours across south-central OK into north-central TX. Isolated damaging winds may
    occur with this activity through the morning as it spreads
    southeastward across a moist but weakly unstable airmass. The
    potential for the MCS to either restrengthen, or for additional
    robust convection to develop along its outflow this afternoon
    remains rather uncertain. Even so, the downstream airmass should
    gradually destabilize through the day, and both damaging winds and
    hail may occur with the MCS if it can maintain surface-based inflow.
    Have therefore expanded the Marginal Risk eastward towards the
    ArkLaTex and east TX to account for this scenario. Greater severe
    probabilities may need to be considered if it becomes clear that the
    MCS will produce swaths of damaging winds later today.

    Otherwise, another day of isolated to widely scattered severe
    thunderstorms is forecast across the southern/central High Plains. A
    broad zone of modestly enhanced west-southwesterly mid-flow will
    persist across these regions though the period, with multiple
    convectively augmented vorticity maxima present. A front extending northeastward across KS from a weak low in far southeast CO, along
    with a dryline extending southward from the low across the southern
    High Plains, should once again help focus convective initiation
    later today. Even with multiple prior days of convection occurring,
    the northeastward advection of an EML over the Southwest will
    provide steepened mid-level lapse rates across the warm sector.
    Daytime heating of the moist low-level airmass, in concert with the
    steep lapse rates aloft, will support at least moderate instability
    along/south of the convectively reinforced front and east of the
    dryline by mid afternoon. While deep-layer shear should remain
    fairly modest, it will still be sufficient for organized updrafts.

    Current expectations are for isolated to widely scattered
    thunderstorms to form from parts of eastern CO (in a weak low-level
    upslope flow regime) into the OK/TX Panhandles and west TX
    along/east of the dryline. Similar to prior days, a mixed mode of
    supercells and multicells should occur, with large to very large
    hail possible with any slow-moving supercells. Severe/damaging winds
    may occur with any clusters that can develop through the evening,
    although this threat may tend to remain fairly isolated. A tornado
    or two also appears possible, especially with any sustained
    supercell this evening near the front/dryline intersection across
    southwest KS into the eastern OK/TX Panhandle vicinity. Based on
    extensive convection that occurred overnight across western KS, the
    northern extent of the Slight Risk has been adjusted some across the
    central Plains.

    ...Southeast Nebraska into Iowa...
    A convectively augmented/low-amplitude shortwave trough will move
    northeastward from parts of southeast NE into IA and vicinity today.
    Although low-level moisture should remain fairly limited, it is
    forecast to gradually increase along/south of a front by this
    afternoon. Any thunderstorms that can develop and spread
    northeastward could pose an isolated hail/wind threat given
    sufficient deep-layer shear for updraft organization.

    Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast late this afternoon into

    is likely with the stronger storms. A couple of tornadoes are
    possible, in addition to isolated severe wind gusts.

    ...20z Update...
    The primary change for this forecast update was the introduction of
    15% wind probabilities (i.e. Slight risk) across portions of central
    and eastern TX downstream of an intensifying MCS with a history of
    measured severe gusts over the past couple of hours. A severe wind
    threat is expected to persist into the evening hours before the MCS
    gradually weakens late this evening/early overnight. See MCD #543
    for additional details. Additionally, hail/wind risk probabilities
    were removed across portions of north/northeast TX and eastern OK.
    Latest RAP mesoanalysis estimates show a buoyancy minimum over the
    region in the wake of the ongoing MCS. Air mass recovery appears
    improbable given current cloud cover and observed temperature trends
    within the residual cold pool. Recent CAM guidance supports this
    idea and shows limited potential for additional robust convection
    during the overnight hours. Elsewhere, the forecast remains on track
    as outlined in the previous discussion below.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    Visible-satellite imagery shows a modifying outflow boundary draped
    across the portions of the TX High Plains. The 12z Del Rio raob
    showed seasonably high boundary layer moisture (14.9 g/kg lowest
    100-mb mean mixing ratio). This upper-air raob sampled the moist
    axis extending from the Rio Grande Valley northwestward through the
    Permian Basin, South Plains, and into the Panhandle. Water-vapor
    imagery shows a weak disturbance currently moving east across
    southern CO/northern NM. The timing of this disturbance appears
    favorably timed to influence thunderstorm development later this afternoon/evening in the vicinity of the dryline.

    Strong heating beneath a capping inversion and a moistening boundary
    layer will likely contribute to eroding CINH by mid afternoon.
    Forecast soundings show sufficient deep-layer westerly flow (25-kt
    at 500 mb increasing to 80-kt at 200 mb) for organized storms. Some
    relatively backed low-level south-southeasterly flow will probably
    be maintained east of the Caprock, aiding in some hodograph
    enlargement. Models show discrete storm development initially, with
    some of this activity perhaps merging into a cluster towards the
    evening over the eastern TX Panhandle/western OK vicinity. Large to
    giant hail is possible with the stronger supercells during the late
    afternoon into the evening. A couple of tornadoes are also possible
    during a brief window of opportunity (23z-02z), in addition to the
    risk for at least isolated severe gusts perhaps lingering tonight as
    this activity spreads east.

    Farther north, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will
    probably develop from parts of eastern CO (in a weak low-level
    upslope flow regime) into the OK Panhandle and eventually southwest
    KS. A mixed mode of supercells and multicells should occur, with
    large to very large hail possible with any slow-moving supercells. Severe/damaging winds may occur with any clusters that can develop
    through the evening, although this threat may tend to remain fairly
    isolated.

    Farther south, a midday thunderstorm cluster over central into
    northeast TX will continue to migrate slowly eastward through the
    afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts and perhaps large hail will be
    possible with this activity. For short-term convective details,
    refer to MCD #540.

    ...Southeast Nebraska into Iowa...
    A convectively augmented/low-amplitude shortwave trough will move
    northeastward from parts of southeast NE into IA and vicinity today.
    Although low-level moisture should remain fairly limited, it is
    forecast to gradually increase along/south of a front by this
    afternoon. Any thunderstorms that can develop and spread
    northeastward could pose an isolated hail/wind threat given
    sufficient deep-layer shear for updraft organization.

    northeastward from parts of southeast NE into IA and vicinity today.
    Although low-level moisture should remain fairly limited, it is
    forecast to gradually increase along/south of a front by this
    afternoon. Any thunderstorms that can develop and spread
    northeastward could pose an isolated hail/wind threat given
    sufficient deep-layer shear for updraft organization.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO SOUTH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from
    from eastern Colorado and southwest Kansas into western Oklahoma,
    the Panhandles and West Texas. Very large hail is possible, along
    with a few tornadoes.

    ...Central and southern Plains...
    Scattered severe storms persist this evening over West TX including
    the Panhandle, with very large/damaging hail in progress. Other
    severe cells, some with tornadic circulation, persist over northwest
    OK within a cluster, also with damaging hail and wind potential.

    Given the uncapped air mass across most of these areas, storms
    should persist for a few hours, and the increasing 850 mb winds out
    of the south may favor right moving supercells. The 00Z AMA sounding
    confirms the lack of inhibition, showing steep lapse rates through a
    deep layer.

    Isolated marginally severe storms also persist over eastern CO, and
    north of the tornadic northwest OK cluster into southwest KS.

    For more information, see mesoscale discussions 548, 549, 550, 551.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE TEXAS
    SOUTH PLAINS AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast over the
    Texas South Plains and vicinity during the late afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and localized wind damage appears likely.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low will drop south off the West Coast, with moderate
    southwest winds aloft from CA into the Great Basin and Rockies. To
    the east, height rises will occur over the Plains, with 500 mb
    temperatures about 2 C warmer than on Thursday. East of there, a
    weak midlevel trough will proceed across the MS/OH/TN Valleys,
    supporting scattered daytime thunderstorms from Lake Erie to MS.

    At the surface, high pressure will build south into the northern and
    central Plains, with a quasi-stationary front near the latitude of
    the Red River at 00Z. South of this boundary, a moist and unstable
    air mass will remain, and backed low-level winds will maintain
    westward moisture transport into the heated high Plains. The result
    will likely be cluster of slow-moving severe storms over a
    relatively concentrated area over West Texas.

    ...Extreme eastern NM...West TX...southwest OK...
    Linger storms may be ongoing over parts of KS and OK early in the
    day, but a weakening trend is anticipated as the driving warm
    advection out of the southwest dwindles. Then, strong heating will
    occur over much of West TX and NM, with the large-scale boundary
    roughly along I-40. Easterly surface winds will maintain 60s F
    dewpoints, and by late afternoon, MUCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg is
    forecast. Storms are likely to develop both along this boundary, and
    farther west near the NM/TX border. Although midlevel winds will be
    a bit weaker than on Thursday, slow-moving storms, including
    isolated supercells, are expected. Localized significant hail,
    damaging outflows, and a brief tornado will all be possible through
    early evening. Cluster of storms with heavy rain and strong gusts
    may persist overnight into portions of northwest TX as well.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    FAR EASTERN NM...THE TX PANHANDLE...WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast over the
    Texas South Plains and vicinity during the late afternoon and
    evening. Large hail and localized wind damage appears likely.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a cyclone west off the central West
    Coast, with a shortwave trough progressing through its base into
    southern CA. Upper ridging exists downstream from the southern
    Plains through the northern Rockies while a low-amplitude shortwave
    trough moves into the Lower OH Valley. A convectively enhanced
    shortwave trough is also moving through the Lower MS Valley.

    The southern CA shortwave is forecast to continue rotating around
    the cyclone off the West Coast, moving through the Great Basin this
    afternoon. The downstream ridging will shift eastward and build into
    the Plains in response, while both the Lower OH Valley and Lower MS
    Valley shortwaves progress eastward. Thunderstorm development is
    anticipated across much of the OH and TN Valley as well as the Lower
    MS Valley and Southeast ahead of these waves.

    Early morning surface analysis places a low over in the TX/OK/NM
    border intersection vicinity, with a dryline extending
    west-southwestward across far southeast NM and far west TX. A cold
    front also extends northeastward from this low to another low near
    the MO/IL/IA border intersection. Strong to severe thunderstorms are anticipated along the dryline across the TX Panhandle and West TX
    this afternoon and evening.

    ...Far Eastern NM...TX Panhandle...West TX...
    Recent surface observations already show dewpoints in the 60s across
    much of far eastern NM, West TX and the TX Panhandle. Strong heating
    is anticipated within this corridor today, to the south of a
    slow-moving cold front and to the west of outflow from Thursday
    night's thunderstorms. Upper ridging is expected to build across the
    region, negating any large-scale ascent and placing the primary
    impetus for convective initiation along the cold front, dryline, and
    outflow boundary. Even so, convergence along this boundaries,
    particularly the dryline and outflow should be enough for convective
    initiation within the uncapped airmass.

    Mid-level flow may be a bit weaker than yesterday, but low-level southeasterlies veering to southwesterly aloft should still result
    in enough shear for updraft organization and supercells. Large to
    very large hail will be the primary risk, but some localized tornado
    threat could develop, particularly if a coherent outflow boundary
    remains in place. Storm motion will be slow while storms are
    discrete, but one or more forward-progressing clusters may evolve
    over time, bringing the potential for strong gusts into northwest TX
    and southwest OK.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Southeast into TN and OH Valley...
    Widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated this afternoon as
    the pair of shortwave troughs mentioned in the synopsis interact
    with the moist and modestly buoyant airmass over the region.
    Vertical shear will be weak, and a predominantly multicellular storm
    mode is expected. This should limit the overall severe potential,
    but a few damaging gusts are still possible.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR FAR
    EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS SOUTH PLAINS AND CAPROCK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast centered on
    the Texas South Plains during the late afternoon and evening. A
    couple of tornadoes will be possible, as well as large to giant hail
    being probable with the more intense supercells.

    ...Far Eastern NM...TX Panhandle...West TX...
    Upper ridging over the High Plains will be downstream of a western
    U.S. upper trough. In the low levels, a frontal zone has pushed
    south into the TX Panhandle with a diffuse outflow boundary
    extending from east TX west-northwestward into the Low Rolling
    Plains/Caprock vicinity. Farther west, a dryline extends south over
    eastern NM with a seasonably moisture-rich airmass (60s surface
    dewpoints) located south and east of the aforementioned boundaries.
    Visible satellite imagery shows mostly clear skies with strong
    heating expected through the late afternoon.

    Model guidance shows 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE developing by mid-late
    afternoon as convective inhibition gradually erodes near the
    boundaries. Forecast soundings show southeasterly to southerly flow
    veering to 20-30 kt southwesterly mid-level flow, and further
    increasing to 70-kt in the upper levels. The magnitude of buoyancy
    and shear will strongly favor intense supercells initially. Large
    to giant hail (up to 2.5 to 4.0 inches in diameter) will likely
    accompany the stronger supercells. A tornado risk will probably
    focus in the vicinity of mesoscale boundaries and peak during the
    early evening, when a strengthening of low-level flow is expected.
    Upscale growth into a cluster is possible this evening with the
    hail/tornado risk gradually transitioning to mostly a wind risk
    late.

    Farther south into the Permian Basin, a couple of intense supercells
    are possible later this afternoon into the evening. Large to giant
    hail appears to be the primary severe hazard, although a tornado is
    possible during the early evening.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Southeast into TN and OH Valley...
    Scattered to numerous showers/thunderstorms are forecast to develop
    from the OH Valley south into the lower MS Valley within a
    moist/weakly unstable airmass. Some modest enhancement to low-level
    flow and hodographs over parts of the OH Valley may result in a few
    transient organized cells. Despite moist profiles and limited lapse
    rates, localized wind damage (45-55 mph gusts) may accompany the
    stronger storms for a few hours this afternoon.

    A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast centered on
    the Texas South Plains during the late afternoon and evening. A few
    tornadoes will be possible, as well as large to giant hail being

    ...20z Update...
    Tornado risk probabilities have been increased to 10% (with
    significant hatching) within a focused corridor across parts of the
    TX South Plains/Caprock. Latest radar imagery shows convective
    initiation well underway along a residual outflow boundary to the
    northwest of the Lubbock, TX area. Additional convective towers are
    noted in visible imagery to the east of the developing storm,
    lending high confidence in supercell development within the coming
    hours. These cells will likely propagate to the east/southeast along
    residual boundaries into a region with mid 60s dewpoints (moisture
    that is above the 90th percentile for west TX in late April) and east/southeasterly low-level flow. Weak 1-3 km winds have been
    recently noted in regional VWPs that will favor a very large hail
    threat through late afternoon; however, increasing flow within the
    925-850 mb layer after 00z will result in low-level hodograph
    enlargement and promote an increasing tornado threat (including the
    potential for a strong tornado) heading into the evening hours prior
    to upscale growth later tonight. See the previous discussion below
    for additional details.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms with potential for large to very large hail,
    isolated severe gusts, and a few tornadoes remain possible this
    evening from eastern New Mexico into the Texas South Plains and
    Permian Basin.

    ...Southern High Plains vicinity...
    Several supercells are ongoing this evening from eastern NM into the
    TX Panhandle, South Plains, and Permian Basin. Moderate to strong
    buoyancy and favorably veering wind profiles will maintain supercell
    potential through much of the evening, with eventual storm
    clustering and upscale growth possible later tonight, due to
    continued storm interactions and a nocturnally strengthening
    low-level jet.

    Tornado potential will persist and may locally increase through the
    evening, as 0-1 km SRH increases above 200 m2/s2 in conjunction with
    the strengthening low-level jet. A conditional threat for a strong
    tornado remains evident with any supercell that can persist near a
    surface boundary extending from east-central NM into the TX South
    Plains. Otherwise, supercells will continue pose a threat of very
    large hail and isolated severe gusts through the evening.

    Late tonight, one or more storm clusters may spread
    east-southeastward toward southwest OK and western north TX, with a
    threat of strong to severe gusts, hail, and possibly a tornado.

    ...Southern OH into western WV...
    A small portion of the Marginal Risk has been maintained from
    extreme southern OH into western WV, where a couple of small
    rotating cells may persist for another hour or two before weakening
    later this evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS INTO THE ARKLATEX...AND ALSO FOR PART OF THE
    MID ATLANTIC AND CAROLINAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to potentially severe storms are possible later today across
    parts of the southern High Plains into the ArkLaTex region, and also
    across parts of the Mid Atlantic and Carolinas.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep mid/upper-level trough and embedded midlevel cyclone will
    move eastward into the Southwest later today, while another midlevel
    cyclone and related shortwave trough move southeastward from the
    Great Lakes into the Northeast. A surface cyclone attendant to the
    Northeast system will move eastward across New England, as a
    trailing cold front moves through the Mid Atlantic and Carolinas.

    ...NM into the Southern Plains and ArkLaTex...
    Extensive convection is expected overnight into the early part of
    the forecast period this morning, from the TX Panhandle/South Plains
    vicinity into southwest OK. Evolution of this convection and related
    outflow remains uncertain, though the majority of guidance suggests
    that an MCV will develop from this preceding convection and move
    eastward across OK through the day. Meanwhile, a cold front will
    move southward across OK during the morning, before stalling and
    beginning to move northward as a warm front later in the period.

    Storm intensification and/or redevelopment will be possible in the
    vicinity of the front during the afternoon, potentially aided by the eastward-moving MCV. Near/south of the front, relatively rich
    low-level moisture may support moderate destabilization by
    afternoon. Generally veering wind profiles are expected from parts
    of OK/north TX into the ArkLaTex, though the strength of
    low/midlevel flow and size/length of hodographs will depend on the
    vigor of any MCV that moves across the region. An organized severe
    threat with some threat for all severe hazards could develop if a
    well-defined MCV favorably interacts with returning low-level
    moisture near the front. The Marginal Risk has been expanded
    eastward in response to this potential scenario.

    Farther southwest, isolated to widely scattered diurnal storm
    development will be possible near the remnant outflow boundary
    somewhere across west/southwest TX, and also within the post-frontal
    regime closer to the higher terrain of NM/CO. Coverage of storms
    across these areas remains uncertain in the absence of stronger
    large-scale ascent, but isolated supercell development will again be
    possible, with at least a localized threat of large hail,
    strong/severe gusts, and possibly a tornado. Greater probabilities
    may be needed if confidence increases in locally greater supercell
    coverage across part of this region.

    ...Northeast/Mid Atlantic/Carolinas...
    Weak to moderate destabilization will be possible this afternoon
    across the Northeast/Mid Atlantic/Carolinas, and at least widely
    scattered storm development will be possible along/ahead of the
    advancing cold front. Gradually strengthening midlevel flow and
    deep-layer shear in response to the approaching mid/upper-level
    shortwave trough could support a few stronger cells/clusters during
    the afternoon and evening. The magnitude of diurnal heating and
    destabilization remains somewhat uncertain, but locally damaging
    wind and small to near-severe hail could accompany the strongest
    storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL
    OK AND FAR NORTH-CENTRAL TX INTO EASTERN OK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to potentially severe storms are possible later today across
    parts of the southern High Plains into the ArkLaTex region. Highest
    coverage is expected from south-central Oklahoma and far
    north-central Texas into eastern Oklahoma. Isolated severe storms
    are also across parts of the Mid Atlantic and Carolinas.

    ...NM into the Southern Plains and ArkLaTex...
    Early morning satellite and radar imagery shows a convectively
    enhanced vorticity maximum moving into western OK, with strong (to
    occasionally severe) thunderstorms ongoing along its eastern and
    southern periphery. The MCV is expected to continue
    east-southeastward, likely progressing along a stationary boundary
    that extends west to east along the Red River vicinity. Moderate
    downstream airmass destabilization is anticipated over the next
    several hours downstream of the MCV across eastern OK and far
    northeast TX. In general, bulk shear across the region will be
    modest. However, there could be some localized enhancement of the
    shear across the eastern periphery of the MCV where slightly
    stronger low-level southerly flow is anticipated. These
    environmental conditions will help support a continued risk for
    severe thunderstorms into eastern OK and adjacent northeast TX.
    Overall severe coverage is expected to be high enough to warrant
    increased wind probabilities from south-central OK/far north-central
    TX into eastern OK. The increased shear could also result in a
    greater tornado threat and tornado probabilities were increased
    across eastern OK.

    Farther west, thunderstorm development will likely continue along
    the outflow boundary moving southward across the Texas South Plains.
    Southward progression of this boundary will likely slow throughout
    the day as southerly low-level flow strengthens in response to a
    tightening lee trough and a nocturnal low-level jet that develops
    ahead of another shortwave trough. Isolated severe storms are
    possible along this outflow as well as the stalled front/lee trough
    expected to extend from eastern NM into southeast CO. Storm
    development across these areas is less certain, with limited
    coverage currently anticipated. A few widely spaced supercells are
    possible with at least a localized threat of large hail,
    strong/severe gusts, and possibly even a tornado.

    ...Northeast/Mid Atlantic/Carolinas...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a well-defined shortwave trough
    moving through southern Ontario and the adjacent Upper Great Lakes
    region. Surface analysis places the low associated with this
    shortwave over Lake Ontario, with a cold front extending from this
    low back southwestward through the central Appalachians, TN Valley,
    and Mid-South. Expectation is for the shortwave trough to continue
    eastward in the Northeast throughout the day, with the attendant
    surface low progressing more northeastward through New England. The
    associated cold front will also progress eastward, moving through
    the northern Mid-Atlantic by this evening and the remainder of the
    Mid-Atlantic States by tonight. A relatively moist airmass is
    already in place ahead of this front, and thunderstorm development
    appears likely along the front as it moves eastward throughout the
    period. Highest coverage is anticipated from the Hudson Valley/NYC
    vicinity southward across the Delmarva to the Chesapeake Bay.

    Gradually strengthening midlevel flow and deep-layer shear could
    support a few stronger cells/clusters during the afternoon and
    evening. Diurnal heating will be tempered by cloud cover, limiting
    the overall buoyancy and updraft magnitude. Even so, some
    locally damaging wind and small to near-severe hail could accompany
    the strongest storms. Best overlap between the buoyancy and shear is
    expected from NJ into the Delmarva vicinity from 18Z to 21Z.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN NEW
    MEXICO AND THE PERMIAN BASIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over eastern New Mexico
    into parts of west Texas this afternoon through the evening. A
    threat for very large hail and possibly a couple of tornadoes are
    the primary risks. Scattered damaging gusts are possible this
    afternoon for parts of the Red River Valley.

    ...NM into the Southern Plains and ArkLaTex...
    Visible satellite-radar composite shows a front/outflow pushing
    south across South Plains and Caprock over portions of west TX and
    westward into parts of eastern NM. This boundary will likely stall
    later this afternoon while moist upslope flow is maintained from the
    Permian Basin northwestward into southeast/eastern NM. Surface
    observations show a reservoir of lower to mid 60s dewpoints over
    southeast NM and west TX south of the boundary. Moderately strong west-southwesterly mid to high-level flow will extend east from the
    base of a West Coast trough into the southern Great Plains today.

    Strong heating over eastern NM will aid in moderate destabilization
    (1000-2500 J/kg MLCAPE) from parts of northeast NM southward into
    the Eastern Plains/Permian Basin where buoyancy will be greatest.
    Models shows gradual erosion of convective inhibition later this
    afternoon with isolated to scattered storms developing in the
    vicinity of the dryline/composite front. Steep 700-500 mb lapse
    rates sampled on the 12z Midland, TX raob atop a deep/moist boundary
    layer will support supercell development in conjunction with a
    veering and gradually strengthening wind profile. Large to very
    large hail will be possible with a few of these stronger storms. A
    tornado risk may develop during the late afternoon/early evening.
    Some of this activity may grow upscale into a small cluster this
    evening posing a hail/wind threat is moves east-southeast into parts
    of west TX.

    Farther east, an MCS will continue east across OK this afternoon.
    Moist low levels in the vicinity of the Red River may enable a
    re-invigoration of storms this afternoon. Damaging gusts appear to
    be the primary risk with these storms.

    ...Northeast/Mid Atlantic/Carolinas...
    A shortwave trough will continue moving through southern Ontario and
    the adjacent Lower Great Lakes. A cold front will progress eastward,
    moving through the northern Mid-Atlantic by this evening and the

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN NEW
    MEXICO AND THE PERMIAN BASIN AND PARTS OF THE TEXARKANA REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over eastern New Mexico
    into parts of west Texas this afternoon through the evening. A
    threat for very large hail and possibly a couple of tornadoes are
    the primary risks. Scattered damaging gusts are possible this
    afternoon for parts of the Red River Valley.

    ...20z Update...
    The previous forecast largely remains on track with the only notable
    change being an eastward shift/expansion of 15% wind probabilities
    (Slight risk) across portions of southeast OK, northeast TX, and
    into far southwest AR. As of 19 UTC, regional radar mosaics show
    deepening thunderstorms along a residual outflow boundary/effective
    warm front ahead of a decaying MCS. Along this boundary,
    temperatures have warmed into the low 80s with upper 60s/low 70s
    dewpoints, resulting in MLCAPE exceeding 2000 J/kg. A recent ACARS
    sounding from DFW sampled 30-35 knot mid-level flow over the region,
    which should be sufficient for some storm organization/longevity
    with an attendant threat for all hazards. Storm interactions should
    favor clustering through late afternoon and may support a focused
    corridor of wind damage/gust potential downstream of the developing
    storms. See the previous discussion below and MCDs #568 and #569 for
    additional details.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    EASTERN NM INTO SOUTHWEST TX...AND ALSO NEAR THE ARKLATEX
    VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms may continue over eastern New Mexico
    into parts of west Texas through the evening. A threat for large to
    very large hail and a couple of tornadoes are the primary risks.
    Scattered strong to severe storms also remain possible across parts
    of western/central Arkansas and vicinity.

    ...Eastern NM into west/central TX...
    Widely scattered supercells are ongoing this evening from
    east-central NM into the TX Permian Basin region, near and to the
    south of a remnant outflow boundary that earlier moved into the
    region from the east. MLCINH will increase through the evening
    across the region, and the eastward advance of the NM storms may be
    limited by a less unstable and increasingly capped airmass to the
    cool side of the remnant outflow. However, a modest increase in
    low-level flow through the evening may help to maintain a couple of
    these supercells, which will tend to propagate southeastward along
    the instability gradient. Backed low-level flow and modestly
    enlarged hodographs may continue to support tornado potential with
    these cells for as long as they persist and remain surface-based.
    Otherwise, large to very large hail and localized severe gusts will
    remain a threat with the strongest storms.

    Farther east, an isolated strong storm or two may yet develop within
    a persistent cumulus field across parts of central TX. Moderate
    instability and deep-layer shear could support at least briefly
    organized storms if initiation occurs, with a threat of isolated
    hail and strong gusts.

    ...Western/central AR and vicinity...
    Moderate instability and modestly enhanced midlevel flow attendant
    to an MCV over eastern OK have supported occasional supercell
    structures early this evening from western AR into the ArkLaTex
    region. A few stronger cells may persist through dusk, accompanied
    by a threat of hail, isolated damaging wind, and possibly a tornado
    or two. A gradual weakening trend is expected later this evening
    after the onset of nocturnal cooling, though relatively rich
    low-level moisture may delay this process somewhat and allow for
    some severe threat to spread into parts of central AR with time.

    ...Parts of the Carolinas/southeast VA...
    Widely scattered storms are ongoing this evening from the eastern
    Carolinas into southeast VA, along/ahead of a cold front. MLCAPE
    around 1000 J/kg and modest deep-layer shear could support
    occasionally strong storms with potential for locally gusty/damaging
    winds, before storms weaken later this evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
    GREAT PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday
    evening into early morning Monday across parts of the Great Plains.
    Large hail, severe gusts, and a few tornadoes are all possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep mid/upper-level trough will move eastward across the western
    CONUS today. A strong jet will move through the base of the trough
    and begin to impinge on the central/southern Great Plains by
    evening. The primary surface low will deepen through the day over
    the central High Plains and move northeast across NE/SD late
    tonight. A secondary surface low is expected to develop near/west of
    the Black Hills during the afternoon. A lee trough/dryline will
    extend southward into the southern High Plains. Relatively rich
    low-level moisture will initially be confined to the southern Plains
    this morning, but will stream quickly northward later today and
    tonight in advance of the surface lows and dryline.

    ...Northern Great Plains...
    Large-scale ascent is expected to increase by evening across the
    northern Great Plains vicinity, in association with the approaching mid/upper-level trough and jet that will overspread the region.
    Richer low-level moisture will remain mostly south of this region
    through much of the day, but steep midlevel lapse rates, moderate
    buoyancy, and increasing deep-layer shear will support development
    of a few supercells by evening with a threat of hail and damaging
    winds.

    The longevity of any surface-based storms is uncertain and could be
    limited, but some tornado threat could evolve with any supercells
    that can persist into the evening, as low-level moisture and shear
    continue to increase. Some clustering and upscale growth will be
    possible later tonight, with a threat for hail and damaging wind
    potentially spreading eastward across the Dakotas into MN before the
    end of the period.

    ...Central/southern High Plains...
    Conditionally, the warm-sector environment across the central and
    southern High Plains will become quite favorable for organized
    convection, with strong instability developing by late afternoon in
    conjunction with strengthening low-level and deep-layer shear.
    However, despite diminishing MLCINH from afternoon into early
    evening near the dryline, there is only an inconsistent and
    relatively limited signal for initiation.

    One area of potential development will be from west-central NE into
    northwest KS, in the vicinity of the primary surface low. Guidance
    also has a somewhat stronger signal for development into parts of
    the southern High Plains, where strong heating/mixing may result in
    more favorable low-level convergence on the dryline. There is a
    relative minimum in signal for storm development from
    west-central/southwest KS toward the OK Panhandle, but any supercell
    that develops within this region would be within an increasingly
    volatile environment during the evening, and pose an all-hazards
    severe threat.

    Given the very favorable environment and at least some potential for
    isolated supercell development by early evening in the vicinity of
    the dryline, the Slight Risk has been expanded southward for the
    conditional all-hazards threat. It remains possible that portions of
    the Slight Risk may see little or no storm development.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
    GREAT PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday
    evening into early morning Monday across parts of the Great Plains.
    Large hail, severe gusts, and a few tornadoes are all possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early morning satellite imagery shows modest upper ridging between
    a pair of well-defined cyclones, one centered over NV and the other
    centered over northern NY/VT. The NV cyclone forecast to shift
    slightly eastward throughout the day as a shortwave trough, and
    associated jet streak, rotate through its base. Moderate to strong southwesterly flow associated with this shortwave will spread
    northeastward from the Southwest into central Plains and Mid MO
    Valley.

    Recent surface analysis reveals an expansive area of high pressure
    centered over the Upper Great Lakes covering much of the eastern
    CONUS. A broad area of low pressure exists over the intermountain
    West, with several embedded lows. A tight surface pressure gradient
    exists between these two features across the Plains, and the
    resultant moderate low-level flow will contribute to northward
    moisture advection throughout the period.

    Any large-scale forcing for ascent associated with the shortwave
    progressing around the NV cyclone will remain west of this better
    low-level moisture (and associated buoyancy) until later tonight,
    when it reaches the northern High Plains. Ample buoyancy and
    moisture will exist across the central and southern High Plains, but
    the lack of stronger large-scale forcing for ascent will result in a
    more conditional severe thunderstorm potential.

    ...Southeast MT...Western Dakotas...
    A deepening lee trough is forecast to result in surface cyclogenesis
    in the far eastern MT/WY border vicinity by late this afternoon.
    Strong boundary-layer mixing is anticipated across the region,
    promoting airmass destabilization but also likely keeping dewpoints
    in the 40s across much of the region. Convergence along several
    boundaries across the region, including a surface trough extending
    across southeast MT and the lee trough along the eastern WY border
    vicinity, amid this destabilized airmass will result in thunderstorm development, particularly during the late afternoon/early evening as
    increasing large-scale ascent complements the low-level convergence.

    An eastward storm motion should take any storms that develop in
    better low-level moisture over time, with a strengthening low-level
    jet helping to maintain favorably moist low-level inflow. Even with
    this modest improvement in thermodynamics, nocturnal stabilization
    should result in storms becoming more elevated over time. Primary
    threat across this region are large hail and damaging gusts.

    ...Central/Southern High Plains...
    Mid 60s dewpoints are already in place across the Permian Basin and
    the general expectation is for low-level moisture to increase
    throughout the day. 60s dewpoints will likely be in place across all
    but far western KS by 21Z and into much of central NE by 00Z. Strong
    heating is anticipated across this region as well, resulting in an
    area of moderate to strong buoyancy from southwest NE into west TX
    by the late afternoon. Large-scale forcing for ascent across the
    region will be nebulous, but low-level convergence along the dryline
    amid little to no convective inhibition may result in convective
    initiation.

    With dryline convergence as the mechanism for convective initiation, predictability is low and convection-allowing guidance has limited
    utility. Dryline circulations will likely be strongest across the TX Panhandle/West TX where temperatures west of the dryline will be
    warmest, but low-level coverage will likely maximize in the CO/NE/KS
    border intersection vicinity near a developing surface low. As a
    result, these two areas may have a greater risk for thunderstorms
    today.

    The overall environment will be very supportive of supercells with
    any storms that do form, with large to very large hail as the
    primary risk initially. Strong downdrafts are possible as well. A
    westward shift of the dryline and strengthening low-level jet will
    support an increase tornado threat during the evening with any
    storms that persist (or develop along the retreating dryline). The
    kinematic environment improves notably across the TX Panhandle,
    western KS, and western NE between 00Z and 06Z, so any storms that
    are ongoing may be able to organize considerably before eventually
    weakening due to nocturnal stabilization.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
    GREAT PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible mainly this
    evening into early morning Monday across parts of the Great Plains.
    Large hail to very large hail, severe gusts, and a few tornadoes are
    all possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid- to upper-level low
    over NV. A belt of strong southwesterly mid to high-level flow will
    extend from the base of the western U.S. trough through the
    southern/central High Plains later today into tonight. A pair of
    smaller-scale disturbances are forecast to eject east-northeastward
    into the central High Plains and Black Hills vicinity during the
    mid-late evening. Concurrently, an upper ridge over the eastern
    half of the Great Plains states will shift eastward over the MS
    Valley towards daybreak Monday.

    Late morning surface analysis shows a developing low centered over
    southeast WY with a lee trough/dryline extending southward through
    the southern High Plains. The cyclone will deepen near the WY/NE/CO
    border through early evening before developing northeast into
    central SD late tonight.

    ...Southeast MT...Western Dakotas...
    A sharpening lee trough is forecast by late this afternoon amidst
    appreciable heating and moistening, especially across western SD.
    Model guidance shows a narrow plume of 500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE (highest
    over SD) developing by mid-late afternoon as large-scale ascent
    begins to overspread the region. Isolated to widely scattered
    thunderstorms are forecast to develop from the northern NE Panhandle
    to the Black Hills, and north of the developing low over southeast
    MT by late afternoon. The stronger storms will gradually move into
    richer moisture with an accompanying risk for mainly large hail and
    severe gusts. Gradual cooling during the evening will favor a
    transition to elevated storms evolving with time as a LLJ
    strengthens tonight. A severe risk will probably develop farther
    east in association with WAA into parts of the eastern Dakotas and
    MN late.

    ...Central/Southern High Plains...
    Visible-satellite imagery indicates a very moist boundary layer with
    a mix of a cumulus field across central and north TX and eastern
    NM/CO and stratus from the TX Caprock northward through OK to NE.
    The depth and quality of moisture sampled by the 12z Midland,
    Amarillo, and Dodge City raobs is considered seasonably moisture
    rich, and is located beneath an elevated mixed layer. Additional
    moistening through advection and evaporation will contribute to 60s
    dewpoints east of a dryline/lee trough by late afternoon. Strong
    heating is forecast near the dryline from western NE southward
    through West TX, which will result in a weakly capped but moderate
    to very unstable airmass by 21z. Large-scale forcing for ascent
    across the region will be nebulous, but low-level convergence along
    the dryline amid little to no convective inhibition may result in
    convective initiation.

    With dryline convergence as the mechanism for convective initiation, predictability is low. Dryline circulations will likely be
    strongest across the TX Panhandle/West TX where temperatures west of
    the dryline will be warmest, but low-level convergence will likely
    maximize in the CO/NE/KS border intersection vicinity near a
    developing surface low. As a result, these two areas may have a
    greater risk for thunderstorms (isolated, widely spaced storm
    coverage) late this afternoon into the evening.

    The overall environment will be very supportive of supercells with
    any storms that do form, with large to very large hail as the
    primary risk initially. If any storms manage to develop and become
    sustained, a strengthening low-level jet will support a tornado
    threat during the evening with any storms that persist (or develop
    along the retreating dryline). Nocturnal cooling and increased CINH
    by mid to late evening will act to eventually weaken storm activity
    in this region.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
    GREAT PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible mainly this
    evening into early morning Monday across parts of the Great Plains.
    Large to very large hail, severe gusts, and a few tornadoes are all
    possible.

    ...20z Update...
    The previous forecast remains on track with no appreciable changes
    required. Signs of broad-scale ascent beginning to overspread the
    High Plains west of the surface trough/dryline are evident in latest
    GOES imagery. Shallow cumulus is beginning to develop from western
    NE southward into west TX, which suggests that convective initiation
    within this corridor should become more probable within the next few
    hours as we approach peak diurnal heating and dryline circulations
    are maximized. West Texas Mesonet observations are sampling higher
    dewpoints (by about 2-3 F) and stronger surface convergence than
    anticipated by most model solutions. This suggests that the
    probability of realizing the potent convective environment may be
    increasing across the TX Panhandle (though confidence in storm
    coverage remains too limited to warrant any upgrades). Further
    north, recent RAP analyses show the tightest low-level lapse rate
    gradient across western KS, indicative of a tighter/stronger dryline circulation. This trend supports some recent high-res guidance that
    shows convective initiation between 21-00z across this region and
    warrants maintaining the current risk probabilities. Similarly,
    steady surface pressure falls across western NE/SD suggest that
    ascent is strongest across the central High Plains region, which
    should favor at least isolated thunderstorm development this
    afternoon. See the previous discussion below for additional details.

    ..Moore.. 04/27/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025/

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid- to upper-level low
    over NV. A belt of strong southwesterly mid to high-level flow will
    extend from the base of the western U.S. trough through the
    southern/central High Plains later today into tonight. A pair of
    smaller-scale disturbances are forecast to eject east-northeastward
    into the central High Plains and Black Hills vicinity during the
    mid-late evening. Concurrently, an upper ridge over the eastern
    half of the Great Plains states will shift eastward over the MS
    Valley towards daybreak Monday.

    Late morning surface analysis shows a developing low centered over
    southeast WY with a lee trough/dryline extending southward through
    the southern High Plains. The cyclone will deepen near the WY/NE/CO
    border through early evening before developing northeast into
    central SD late tonight.

    ...Southeast MT...Western Dakotas...
    A sharpening lee trough is forecast by late this afternoon amidst
    appreciable heating and moistening, especially across western SD.
    Model guidance shows a narrow plume of 500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE (highest
    over SD) developing by mid-late afternoon as large-scale ascent
    begins to overspread the region. Isolated to widely scattered
    thunderstorms are forecast to develop from the northern NE Panhandle
    to the Black Hills, and north of the developing low over southeast
    MT by late afternoon. The stronger storms will gradually move into
    richer moisture with an accompanying risk for mainly large hail and
    severe gusts. Gradual cooling during the evening will favor a
    transition to elevated storms evolving with time as a LLJ
    strengthens tonight. A severe risk will probably develop farther
    east in association with WAA into parts of the eastern Dakotas and
    MN late.

    ...Central/Southern High Plains...
    Visible-satellite imagery indicates a very moist boundary layer with
    a mix of a cumulus field across central and north TX and eastern
    NM/CO and stratus from the TX Caprock northward through OK to NE.
    The depth and quality of moisture sampled by the 12z Midland,
    Amarillo, and Dodge City raobs is considered seasonably moisture
    rich, and is located beneath an elevated mixed layer. Additional
    moistening through advection and evaporation will contribute to 60s
    dewpoints east of a dryline/lee trough by late afternoon. Strong
    heating is forecast near the dryline from western NE southward
    through West TX, which will result in a weakly capped but moderate
    to very unstable airmass by 21z. Large-scale forcing for ascent
    across the region will be nebulous, but low-level convergence along
    the dryline amid little to no convective inhibition may result in
    convective initiation.

    With dryline convergence as the mechanism for convective initiation, predictability is low. Dryline circulations will likely be
    strongest across the TX Panhandle/West TX where temperatures west of
    the dryline will be warmest, but low-level convergence will likely
    maximize in the CO/NE/KS border intersection vicinity near a
    developing surface low. As a result, these two areas may have a
    greater risk for thunderstorms (isolated, widely spaced storm
    coverage) late this afternoon into the evening.

    The overall environment will be very supportive of supercells with
    any storms that do form, with large to very large hail as the
    primary risk initially. If any storms manage to develop and become
    sustained, a strengthening low-level jet will support a tornado
    threat during the evening with any storms that persist (or develop
    along the retreating dryline). Nocturnal cooling and increased CINH
    by mid to late evening will act to eventually weaken storm activity
    in this region.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS INTO NE...AND PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this evening
    into early morning Monday across parts of the Great Plains. Large to
    very large hail, severe gusts, and a few tornadoes are all possible.

    ...Northern Great Plains into NE...MN...northern IA...
    Supercell development is underway this evening across parts of
    western NE, with other strong to potentially severe storms expected
    to increase in coverage from southeast MT into western SD. The
    environment across parts of western NE and vicinity has become
    favorable for tornadoes this evening, including strong-tornado
    potential. See MCD 580 for more information.

    Some threat for hail, severe gusts, and possibly a tornado will also
    persist through the evening from southeast MT into western SD. Late
    tonight, some clustering/upscale growth is expected, with at least
    an isolated threat of hail and strong/damaging gusts eventually
    spreading into parts of MN and northern IA before the end of the
    period.

    ...Central/southern High Plains...
    Despite a volatile environment (as noted in the 00Z AMA sounding),
    storms have struggled to initiate near the dryline from western KS
    into the TX Panhandle. There remains a narrow window of opportunity
    for storm initiation near the dryline through dusk, though
    confidence is not high due to generally nebulous large-scale ascent.
    A Slight Risk has been maintained for the remaining conditional
    threat this evening across the southern High Plains.

    Farther south, a cluster of initially high-based convection earlier
    intensified near/east of Lubbock. If convection in this area can
    become surface-based, then a couple of supercells could evolve with
    all severe hazards possible. However, recent trends suggest this
    activity may continue to weaken with time.

    ...Central MS vicinity...
    A couple stronger storms persist this evening across central MS,
    within a moderately unstable and modestly sheared environment. A
    general weakening trend is expected to continue with time, though
    some localized threat for hail or damaging gusts may continue for
    part of the evening.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...NORTHERN IOWA...AND WESTERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms are expected across the
    Upper Midwest later today into tonight, with a regional severe
    weather outbreak possible. The most dangerous period is likely
    during the late afternoon and evening when strong tornado potential
    should be maximized. Scattered large to very large hail and damaging
    winds are likely as well.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positively tilted mid/upper-level shortwave trough, with several
    embedded vorticity maxima, will move east-northeast through the day
    across the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. The southwest portion of
    the large-scale trough and an embedded midlevel cyclone will remain
    in place near the Four Corners through most of the period. A strong
    midlevel jet (70+ kt at 500 mb) will move from the central Plains
    toward the upper Midwest/Great Lakes later today into this evening.
    The primary surface cyclone will move from the eastern Dakotas
    toward the upper Great Lakes, as a trailing cold front moves through
    parts of the Great Plains and eventually the Upper Midwest. By late
    afternoon, a dryline will extend from near the MN/IA border
    southwestward into the southern High Plains.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    A regional severe weather outbreak still appears possible across the
    Upper Midwest, with a threat of strong tornadoes, very large hail,
    and swaths of damaging winds. No major changes have been made to the
    Moderate and Enhanced Risk areas.

    Extensive elevated convection and a possible MCS will likely be
    ongoing at the start of the forecast period across parts of ND/MN,
    and may tend to redevelop through the day. This could slow the
    northward advance of the warm front to some extent, but 60s F
    dewpoints are expected reach at least central MN into northern WI by
    mid/late afternoon.

    South of the warm front and east of the dryline, the environment is
    expected to become increasingly volatile through the afternoon, with
    strong instability (MLCAPE near/above 3000 J/kg) and deep-layer
    shear, and a persistently intense low-level jet that will maintain
    very favorable low-level shear/SRH. This environment will be
    conditionally favorable for long-track supercells with
    strong/intense tornado potential.

    Uncertainty remains regarding the evolution of diurnal convection
    across the warm sector. Guidance generally suggests that
    surface-based storms will develop near the surface low and along the
    prefrontal trough/dryline across southern MN, which could evolve
    quickly into a cluster or linear mode, though the environment would
    still support embedded supercell potential with all severe hazards
    possible. If development in this area is able to remain
    semi-discrete, then a couple long-track tornadic supercells could
    occur.

    Farther south into IA, stronger heating/mixing is expected near the
    dryline, though large-scale ascent and low-level convergence may be
    somewhat weaker compared to areas farther north. While guidance
    varies regarding the potential for development across IA during the
    afternoon, any supercell that can initiate and be sustained could
    become long-tracked within the expanding and very favorable warm
    sector, posing a threat for strong to intense tornadoes and very
    large hail.

    As the surface low and related boundaries move eastward, organized
    convection may develop in place and/or spread into parts of WI, with
    a threat of all severe hazards and some strong-tornado potential.

    Farther west, a couple of supercells may develop in the region
    between the prefrontal trough/dryline and cold front, and pose a
    threat of large hail and locally damaging gusts as they move across
    northeast NE/southeast SD into parts of MN/IA.

    ...Parts of KS/MO into the Southern Plains...
    While large-scale ascent will be comparatively weaker from KS/MO
    into the southern Plains, isolated to widely scattered storm
    development will be possible within a weakly capped environment.
    Instability and deep-layer shear will both be moderate to strong by
    late afternoon into the evening, and a few supercells may develop
    near the dryline. Large to very large hail and locally damaging
    winds will likely be the initial primary hazard, but increasing
    low-level SRH by early evening will result in some tornado threat as
    well. Additional strong to locally severe storm development will be
    possible overnight near the advancing cold front, aided by a
    continued nocturnal strengthening of the low-level jet.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
    NORTH-CENTRAL AND WESTERN OK INTO THE TX BIG COUNTRY AND SOUTHWEST
    TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms are expected across the
    Upper Midwest later today into tonight, with a regional severe
    weather outbreak possible. The most dangerous period is likely
    during the late afternoon and evening when strong tornado potential
    should be maximized. Scattered large to very large hail and damaging
    winds are likely as well.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a mature cyclone centered over UT,
    with a shortwave trough progressing northeastward through the
    central High Plains within the eastern periphery of this cyclone.
    Farther north, overnight convection across SD has contributed to the development of vorticity maximum, which is currently moving into
    western MN.

    Early morning surface analysis places a deep low over central SD,
    with a dryline extending south-southwestward from this low across
    central NE, western KS, the northwest TX Panhandle, southeast NM,
    and far West TX. A warm front extends eastward from this low to the
    ND/SD/MN border vicinity before then arcing more southeastward
    across southwest MN, central IA, and eastern MO. A large warm sector characterized largely by 60s dewpoints exists between these two
    features.

    Expectation for the central High Plains shortwave trough to progress
    quickly northeastward throughout the period, accompanied by a strong
    jet streak (i.e. 70 to 80 kt at 500 mb). The surface low will eject northeastward as well, reaching central MN by 00Z and continuing
    into northwestern Ontario by 12Z Tuesday. Coincident
    northward/northeastward movement of the warm front will bring a
    warm, moist, and unstable airmass into the Upper Midwest ahead of
    the approaching dryline, which will likely extend from central MN
    southwestward into the TX Permian Basin by mid-afternoon. Severe
    thunderstorms are expected to develop along the length of this
    dryline, with the greatest severe potential across the Upper
    Midwest.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    A regional severe weather outbreak still appears possible across the
    Upper Midwest, with a threat of strong to intense tornadoes, very
    large hail, and swaths of damaging winds.

    Convective line ongoing across central MN is expected to continue
    quickly northeastward through the region, leaving ample time for the
    warm front to progress northward and bring a warm, moist, and
    unstable airmass into the region ahead of the dryline. Thunderstorm
    initiation along the dryline is forecast to begin around 18-20Z near
    the SD/MN/IA border intersection vicinity, before then continuing
    quickly eastward across southern MN and northern IA throughout the
    late afternoon and early evening. Volatile environmental conditions
    are expected south of the warm front and east of the dryline, with
    strong instability (MLCAPE near/above 3000 J/kg) and deep-layer
    shear, and a persistently intense low-level jet that will maintain
    very favorable low-level shear/SRH.

    This environment will be conditionally favorable for long-track
    supercells with strong/intense tornado potential if a discrete mode
    can be maintained. Quick upscale growth into a more linear or
    cluster mode is possible, but the vertical shear appears strong
    enough for a discrete mode to be maintained as well. A scenario
    where a primary line develops with discrete storms ahead of it is
    possible as well. In any case, the overall environment supports the
    potential for large to very large hail, damaging gusts, and strong
    to intense tornadoes with any discrete storms. Line-embedded
    tornadoes and strong gusts are possible within any convective lines.

    A more conditional scenario exists farther south from central IA
    into northeast KS/northwest MO. Here, the kinematic environment will
    remain supportive of supercells capable of all severe hazards, but
    capping could prove detrimental to deep convection given the weaker
    low-level convergence and large-scale ascent. Any supercell that can
    initiate and be sustained could become long-tracked within the
    expanding and very favorable warm sector, posing a threat for strong
    to intense tornadoes and very large hail.

    Farther west, a couple of supercells may develop in the region
    between the prefrontal trough/dryline and cold front, and pose a
    threat of large hail and locally damaging gusts as they move across
    northeast NE/southeast SD into parts of MN/IA.

    ...Western/Central OK...Northwest/Southwest TX...
    Daytime heating, and resultant airmass destabilization, coupled with convergence along the dryline is expected to result in convective
    initiation from the TX Big Country into southwest TX during the
    afternoon. Steep lapse rates and strong vertical shear will support
    supercells, with large to very large hail as the primary severe
    risk.

    Farther north in western OK, convective development will likely wait
    until around 00Z when the dryline begins to retreat. The increased
    low-level moisture coupled with a reduction in convective inhibition
    could result in a 2-4 hour window where convective initiation is
    more likely. At the same time, the low-level jet is forecast to
    strengthen considerably, resulting in a kinematic environment
    supportive of supercells. The tornado threat would likely maximize
    between 00-04Z before nocturnal stabilization forces storms to
    become more elevated. Hail potential could persist into
    north-central OK as any storms that develop progress northeastward
    throughout the night.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WESTERN OK
    INTO THE TX BIG COUNTRY AND SOUTHWEST TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms are expected across the
    Upper Midwest later today into tonight, with a regional severe
    weather outbreak possible. The most dangerous period is likely
    during the late afternoon and evening when strong tornado potential
    should be maximized. Scattered large to very large hail and damaging
    winds are likely as well.

    ...Upper MS Valley...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a broad positively tilted upper
    trough across the western states, with the band of primary mid-level
    winds extending from the central Rockies into the upper MS Valley.
    Embedded within the stronger flow, a progressive shortwave trough is
    evident over KS/NE that will track into IA/MN/WI this afternoon and
    evening. Strong large-scale forcing ahead of this feature will
    result in scattered intense thunderstorms.

    Strong southerly low-level winds are transporting mid 60s dewpoints
    rapidly northward into IA/MN. Cloud cover is limiting daytime
    heating, but sufficient destabilization from cooling/ascent aloft
    will lead to convective initiation along/ahead of the surface cold
    front by mid-afternoon. Storms will be most numerous over central
    MN, with increasingly sparse development with southward extent
    across IA. Supercells capable of strong tornadoes and very large
    hail appear likely. Storms will track into western WI during the
    evening with a continued risk of significant severe weather.

    ...Northern MO...
    Several morning CAM solutions suggest a secondary area of concern
    for discrete supercell storms over northwest MO and vicinity. While
    low and mid-level wind fields are a little weaker in this area
    compared to farther north, forecast hodographs remain favorable for
    tornadoes. Have therefore extended the 10% SIG tornado
    probabilities that far south.

    ...OK/TX...
    Strong heating occurring along a dryline that will extend from
    western OK into west TX. Large-scale forcing mechanisms are weak
    across this region, but a consensus of CAM solutions show scattered
    intense thunderstorm development over southwest OK/northwest TX by mid-afternoon, and further development southward during the evening.
    Very large hail and a few tornadoes are possible across this region.

    ...IA/MN/WI through early tonight...
    A positive-tilt midlevel trough and associated 70-80 kt jet streak
    will eject quickly northeastward from the mid MO Valley to the upper
    MS Valley this evening. An associated surface cyclone will likewise
    move across MN/WI, while a trailing cold front moves southeastward
    into the central Plains, and a dryline mixes eastward into northwest
    IA/far eastern NE before stalling this evening. Storms are ongoing
    along the front moving across southern MN, where cloud breaks and
    moisture advection have resulted in substantial destabilization.
    Long, sufficiently curved hodographs will support a threat for large
    hail (potential greater than 2 inches) and tornadoes, with the
    threat for strong tornadoes maximized for storms that remain
    semi-discrete within the broken band. Otherwise, convection will
    spread eastward through early tonight into WI, with all hazards
    possible.

    Farther south, storm development is less certain along the dryline
    into western/central IA and northeast KS. Deepening cumulus along
    segments of the dryline in eastern NE and central KS could be
    precursors to isolated storm development late this afternoon/evening
    into western IA and northeast KS, respectively. The storm
    environment will conditionally favor supercells capable of producing
    very large hail and a few tornadoes.

    ...TX/OK through early tonight...
    Despite a narrow band of thicker mid-high clouds, surface
    temperatures continue to warm into the 85-90 F range along the
    dryline across west central/northwest TX. As surface heating
    removes convective inhibition, flow near 700 mb largely parallel to
    the dryline suggests sufficient residence times for storm initiation
    near or after 22z across northwest TX. Boundary-layer dewpoints of
    65-70 F beneath midlevel lapse rates in excess of 8.5 C/km will
    contribute to large buoyancy (MLCAPE near 3500 J/kg), while
    deep-layer shear will be favorable for splitting supercells. The
    initial, more discrete storms will pose a primary threat of very
    large hail of 2.5 to 3+ inches in diameter. Though low-level shear
    will be modest this afternoon, some increase in low-level shear this
    evening in the zone of richer moisture near the Red River will allow
    a window of opportunity for tornadoes. Eventual upscale growth into
    an MCS is expected with an accompanying threat for large hail and
    damaging winds.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1123 AM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025/

    ...Upper MS Valley...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a broad positively tilted upper
    trough across the western states, with the band of primary mid-level
    winds extending from the central Rockies into the upper MS Valley.
    Embedded within the stronger flow, a progressive shortwave trough is
    evident over KS/NE that will track into IA/MN/WI this afternoon and
    evening. Strong large-scale forcing ahead of this feature will
    result in scattered intense thunderstorms.

    Strong southerly low-level winds are transporting mid 60s dewpoints
    rapidly northward into IA/MN. Cloud cover is limiting daytime
    heating, but sufficient destabilization from cooling/ascent aloft
    will lead to convective initiation along/ahead of the surface cold
    front by mid-afternoon. Storms will be most numerous over central
    MN, with increasingly sparse development with southward extent
    across IA. Supercells capable of strong tornadoes and very large
    hail appear likely. Storms will track into western WI during the
    evening with a continued risk of significant severe weather.

    ...Northern MO...
    Several morning CAM solutions suggest a secondary area of concern
    for discrete supercell storms over northwest MO and vicinity. While
    low and mid-level wind fields are a little weaker in this area
    compared to farther north, forecast hodographs remain favorable for
    tornadoes. Have therefore extended the 10% SIG tornado
    probabilities that far south.

    ...OK/TX...
    Strong heating occurring along a dryline that will extend from
    western OK into west TX. Large-scale forcing mechanisms are weak
    across this region, but a consensus of CAM solutions show scattered
    intense thunderstorm development over southwest OK/northwest TX by mid-afternoon, and further development southward during the evening.
    Very large hail and a few tornadoes are possible across this region.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHEAST
    MN...NORTHERN IA...WESTERN WI...

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHWEST
    TX AND SOUTHWEST OK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms will continue this
    evening from the Upper Midwest into the central and southern Plains.
    Tornadoes, large hail, and severe gusts all remain possible,
    including some strong-tornado potential.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Convection has generally evolved into a linear mode from northern IA
    into southeast MN and western WI, though with occasional embedded
    supercells noted. The environment farther south across IA and
    downstream of the ongoing storms remains very favorable for
    organized convection, with moderate to strong buoyancy and very
    favorable low-level and deep-layer shear. Development of more
    discrete storms is uncertain, however. There remains potential for a
    couple sustained supercells to develop and pose a threat for all
    severe hazards, including conditional strong-tornado potential.
    Otherwise, the ongoing cluster will continue to pose a threat for
    damaging winds, hail, and embedded tornadoes as it moves eastward
    through the evening.

    Farther west, a couple small supercells may continue in the vicinity
    of the cold front this evening near the IA/MN border region, before
    weakening later tonight.

    ...Northeast KS into northwest MO and vicinity...
    A cluster of supercells is ongoing across northeast KS this evening,
    with earlier reports of large to very large hail. Given the ongoing
    clustering of storms, some upscale growth will be possible with time
    this evening, with a threat of damaging wind and hail. Increasing
    low-level flow with time and eastward extent will also support a
    tornado threat with any supercells that can persist through the
    evening.

    ...Southern Plains into southern KS/MO...
    Widely scattered supercells have developed from northwest TX into
    southwest OK, within a strongly unstable and favorably sheared
    environment. These cells will continue to pose a threat of large to
    very large hail and localized severe gusts through the evening.
    There will also be a window of opportunity this evening for an
    increasing tornado threat, including localized strong-tornado
    potential, as a strengthening nocturnal low-level jet substantially
    increases effective SRH. See MCD 592 for more information in this
    area.

    Additional storm development and eventual evolution of one or more
    clusters will be possible later tonight from north TX into OK, south-central/southeast KS, and possibly southern MO, due to the
    increasing low-level jet and eventual approach of a cold front from
    the north. The late-night convection could pose a continued threat
    for hail and damaging winds, and possibly a tornado for any storms
    that can remain surface based.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    WEST TX INTO SOUTHWEST OK...AND FOR PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND
    LOWER GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible within a broad swath
    from the Lower Great Lakes to the southern High Plains, mainly
    during the afternoon to evening on Tuesday. Corridors of greater
    threat are expected over the Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes and
    in parts of west Texas into southwest Oklahoma.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move eastward across
    the Great Lakes into southeast Canada today. A deepening surface low
    will move across Quebec during the day, as an attendant cold front
    moves across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast. To the
    west, a mid/upper-level trough and embedded midlevel cyclone will
    move very slowly eastward across the Four Corners/Southwest. A weak
    surface low is expected to remain nearly stationary near the TX
    Trans-Pecos region. A cold front initially moving southward into the
    southern Plains will tend to slow down with time, with its position
    becoming modulated by repeated rounds of convection.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Lower Great Lakes...
    Some uncertainty remains regarding the evolution of overnight
    convection into the start of the D1/Tuesday period. However, most
    guidance suggests that, despite weakening midlevel lapse rates,
    moderate buoyancy will develop along/ahead of the front from the
    Ohio Valley into parts of the Lower Great Lakes. Any ongoing morning
    convection may intensify as it moves east-northeastward, with
    additional development expected along/ahead of the front this
    afternoon.

    Strong low/midlevel flow will support development of organized storm
    clusters, along with some potential for discrete or embedded
    supercells. Scattered damaging winds will be possible, with some
    potential for swaths of more concentrated wind damage if any
    organized clusters or linear segments develop. 35-50 kt in the
    850-700 mb layer will support sufficient low-level shear for some
    supercell and/or line-embedded tornado threat. Isolated hail could
    also accompany any persistent supercell structures.

    ...West TX into the Ozarks...
    Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected across the southern
    Plains in the vicinity of the surface front, with widely scattered
    diurnal development also possible along the southward trailing
    dryline into the Permian Basin vicinity. Strong midlevel flow east
    of the Southwest trough will provide sufficient deep-layer shear for
    storm organization, within a moderate to strongly unstable
    environment near/south of the front. Occasional supercells will be
    possible, with a threat of large to very large hail, severe gusts,
    and a few tornadoes. One or more clusters are likely to develop and
    spread eastward, which could provide localized swaths of more
    concentrated strong/severe gusts. The favored corridor of any such
    clusters remains somewhat uncertain, with the front expected to
    gradually sag south with time.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    WEST TX INTO SOUTHWEST OK...AND FROM THE OH VALLEY INTO THE LOWER
    GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible within a broad swath
    from the Lower Great Lakes to the southern High Plains, mainly
    during this afternoon to evening. Corridors of greater threat are
    expected over the Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes and in parts
    of west Texas into southwest Oklahoma.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a well-defined shortwave trough
    moving through northwest Ontario and the adjacent Upper Midwest, and
    a mature cyclone centered over the central UT/AZ border. The
    northern shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward across the
    Great Lakes and eastern Canada today while also transitioning to a
    more negative tilt. The UT/AZ cyclone is expected to progress
    southeastward across AZ and into western NM as an embedded shortwave
    trough moves through its base across northern Mexico and into the
    southern High Plains.

    Early morning surface analysis places a low over eastern Lake
    Superior, with a cold front extending southwestward from this low
    into central OK where another, weaker surface low exists. The front
    continues westward from this second low across the TX Panhandle and
    through central NM. The northern low is forecast to progress
    eastward across eastern Canada, moving just ahead of its parent
    shortwave trough, ending the period over the Canadian Maritimes. The
    attendant cold front will also push eastward moving through the OH
    and TN Valleys, and much of the Northeast. Southern/western portion
    of the front will make limited southerly/southeasterly progress,
    with its position becoming more regulated by repeated convective
    outflow throughout the day.

    Numerous thunderstorms, some severe, are anticipated along the
    eastward progressing cold front from the OH Valley into the Lower
    Great Lakes and Northeast, as well as farther southwest across the
    southern Plains near the stalled boundary.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Lower Great Lakes...
    Ongoing cluster across northeast OK will continue through the Ozarks
    this morning before reaching the Lower OH Valley this afternoon. It
    seems probable that this cluster will reintensify as it interacts
    with the destabilizing airmass over the region. Additional
    thunderstorm development appears likely along the front north of
    this cluster throughout much of the OH Valley into the Lower Great
    Lakes.

    Strong low/midlevel flow will support development of organized storm
    clusters, along with some potential for discrete or embedded
    supercells. Scattered damaging winds will be possible, with some
    potential for swaths of more concentrated wind damage if any
    organized linear segments develop. The strongest low-level flow will
    be displaced north of the region, but 35-50 kt in the 850-700 mb
    layer will support sufficient low-level shear for some supercell
    and/or line-embedded tornado threat. Isolated hail could also
    accompany any persistent supercell structures.

    ...West TX into the Ozarks...
    Complex convective evolution is underway across OK this morning as a northeastward progressing convective cluster interacts with the
    thunderstorms that developed along the front over
    northwest/north-central OK. Current trends and recent guidance
    suggest that an MCS will evolve and then track northeastward across
    the Ozarks. The airmass downstream is expected to remain supportive
    of damaging gusts and large hail for at least the next few hours.

    Another round of thunderstorms is anticipated this afternoon both
    along the outflow-modulated cold front in OK and northwest TX and
    along the dryline in West TX as the airmass destabilizes. Strong
    buoyancy and shear will support supercells, particularly from west
    TX into southwest OK during the late afternoon where low-level
    convergence will be strongest. Large to very large hail will be the
    primary threat initially, but strong cold pools and close storm
    proximity should result in several clusters capable of strong to
    significant gusts. A mesoscale corridor of greater tornado potential
    may materialize just east of the surface low where stronger
    southeasterly low-level flow and higher low-level moisture may
    overlap. Current guidance suggests this would be over northwest TX,
    but uncertainty exists regarding the outflow/cold front and surface
    low positions, precluding the confidence needed to outlook higher
    tornado probabilities.

    across the southern Plains near the stalled boundary.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Lower Great Lakes...
    Ongoing clusters of thunderstorms across IL extend through OH.

    Strong low/midlevel flow will support development of organized storm
    clusters, along with some potential for discrete or embedded
    supercells. Scattered damaging winds will be possible, with some
    potential for swaths of more concentrated wind damage if any
    organized linear segments develop. The strongest low-level flow will
    be displaced north of the region, but 35-50 kt in the 850-700 mb
    layer will support sufficient low-level shear for some supercell
    and/or line-embedded tornado threat. Isolated hail could also
    accompany any persistent supercell structures.

    ...West TX into the Ozarks...

    Current satellite and radar show convection from OK through the
    Ozarks. Model guidance suggest this activity will continue to
    evolve, tracking northeastward.

    Another round of thunderstorms is occurring both along the
    outflow-modulated cold front in OK and northwest TX and along the
    dryline in West TX as the air mass has destabilized. Strong buoyancy
    and shear will support supercells, particularly from west TX into
    southwest OK during the late afternoon where low-level convergence
    will be strongest. Large to very large hail will be the primary
    threat initially, but strong cold pools and close storm proximity
    should result in several clusters capable of strong to significant
    gusts. A mesoscale corridor of greater tornado potential may
    materialize just east of the surface low where stronger
    southeasterly low-level flow and higher low-level moisture may
    overlap.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    WEST TX INTO SOUTHWEST OK... AND FROM THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE LOWER
    GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible within a broad swath
    from the Lower Great Lakes to the southern High Plains, mainly
    during this afternoon to evening. Corridors of greater threat are
    expected over the Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes and in parts
    of west Texas into southwest Oklahoma.

    ...Synopsis...
    Satellite imagery shows a well-defined shortwave trough moving
    through central Ontario and the adjacent Upper Midwest, and a mature
    cyclone centered over the central UT/AZ border. The northern
    shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward across the Great Lakes
    and eastern Canada today while also transitioning to a more negative
    tilt. The UT/AZ cyclone is expected to progress southeastward across
    AZ and into western NM as an embedded shortwave trough moves through
    its base across northern Mexico and into the southern High Plains.

    Surface analysis places a low over Ontario, with a cold front
    extending southwestward from this low into central OK where another,
    weaker surface low exists. The front continues westward from this
    second low across the TX Panhandle and through central NM. The
    northern low is forecast to progress eastward across eastern Canada,
    moving just ahead of its parent shortwave trough, ending the period
    over the Canadian Maritimes. The associated cold front will also
    push eastward moving through the OH and TN Valleys, and much of the
    Northeast. Southern/western portion of the front will make limited southerly/southeasterly progress, with its position becoming more
    regulated by repeated convective outflow throughout the day.

    Numerous thunderstorms, some severe, are occurring along the
    eastward progressing cold front in OH, as well as farther southwest
    across the southern Plains near the stalled boundary.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Lower Great Lakes...
    Ongoing clusters of thunderstorms across IL extend through OH.

    Strong low/midlevel flow will support development of organized storm
    clusters, along with some potential for discrete or embedded
    supercells. Scattered damaging winds will be possible, with some
    potential for swaths of more concentrated wind damage if any

    layer will support sufficient low-level shear for some supercell
    and/or line-embedded tornado threat. Isolated hail could also
    accompany any persistent supercell structures.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF WEST/NORTHWEST TX INTO SOUTHERN OK...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple clusters of severe storms are expected this evening into
    overnight across parts of the Southern Plains. Large to very large
    hail, severe gusts, and a couple tornadoes are all possible.
    Clusters of storms with locally damaging wind also remain possible
    across parts of the Ohio Valley into the Northeast.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozarks...
    An intense storm cluster with embedded supercells has developed
    across western north TX this evening. Large to very large hail and
    at least localized significant wind gusts will be possible with this
    cluster as it moves across north TX and southern OK. The downstream
    environment is also becoming increasingly favorable to tornadoes in
    the vicinity of a remnant outflow boundary, with enlarging low-level hodographs, rich low-level moisture, and moderate to strong
    instability in place. The storm mode may remain rather complex with
    additional upscale growth possible, but any persistent embedded
    supercells will pose a tornado threat through the evening. Later
    tonight, this complex may move into parts of eastern OK and the
    Ozarks, with continued severe potential into the overnight hours.

    Renewed strong to severe storm development is expected later tonight
    in the southwest TX vicinity, aided by an approaching
    mid/upper-level trough and strengthening low-level jet. The
    environment will remain favorable for supercells, and an additional
    cluster may evolve and move east-northeastward toward north TX and
    southern OK overnight. Large to very large hail and severe wind
    gusts will be possible with the late night storms, along with some
    tornado potential with any supercells that are able to remain
    surface-based near the effective cold front and outflow boundary.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Northeast...
    Much of the Ohio Valley into parts of the Northeast has stabilized
    in the wake of multiple severe-wind producing MCSs. However, pockets
    of locally moderate buoyancy from parts of KY/OH, and also into
    parts of northern NY. A few strong clusters and/or marginal
    supercells remain possible through the evening, with a threat of
    locally damaging wind, isolated hail, and possibly a tornado.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
    NORTH-CENTRAL TX INTO SOUTHEAST OK...SOUTHWEST AR...AND EXTREME
    NORTHWEST LA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on later today into this
    evening, with the greatest risk expected across north-central Texas
    into the ArkLaTex region. Large to very large hail, damaging winds,
    and tornadoes are all possible, with some strong-tornado potential.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper-level trough will move across the southern Plains today.
    A surface low will move southwest into northeast TX, along an outflow-reinforced front. Farther east, a warm front will move
    northward across parts of the mid MS Valley, and remain nearly
    stationary into parts of the Mid Atlantic.

    ...Southern Plains into the ArkLaTex/Ozarks...
    An MCS may be ongoing during the morning near the Red River Valley
    vicinity. This MCS may reintensify as it moves into a moist and
    unstable environment from eastern OK into western AR, accompanied by
    a threat for damaging winds, along with a localized hail/tornado
    threat. The effective front/outflow position will be modulated by
    this potential MCS, but this boundary will likely reside somewhere
    across north-central/northeast TX during the afternoon. Near/south
    of the boundary, diurnal heating of the moist airmass will result in
    scattered thunderstorm development during the afternoon, with
    deep-layer shear profiles supporting supercell development.

    Large to very large hail will be a threat with any initial
    supercells. Also, with the approach of the mid/upper-level shortwave
    trough and attendant surface low, low-level flow is expected to
    remain rather strong through the day, supporting sufficient SRH for
    a tornado threat with any surface-based supercells, including some
    localized strong tornado potential. While uncertainty remains
    regarding mesoscale details regarding the outflow boundary, there is
    sufficient confidence in a corridor of supercell development for the
    addition of an Enhanced Risk. Eventual storm clustering could lead
    to development of a nocturnal MCS that could eventually approach
    parts of the lower MS Valley, with at least an isolated severe
    threat.

    Additional strong to severe storms will be possible across parts of
    west TX, in closer proximity to the remnant midlevel low. Cold
    temperatures aloft and steep lapse rates will support a threat of
    hail and localized severe gusts, even though deep-layer flow/shear
    will be more modest within this regime. These storms may eventually
    spread toward southwest OK/northwest TX before weakening.

    ...Parts of MS/OH Valleys...
    An MCV may move across parts of the MS/OH Valleys during the day, in
    the vicinity of the northward-moving warm front. Scattered storms
    may develop near the front during the afternoon, within a moist and destabilizing airmass. There is some potential for at least
    transient storm organization in the vicinity of the frontal zone,
    with an attendant threat for hail, locally damaging wind, and
    possibly a tornado. Uncertainty remains regarding the potential for
    early convection/cloudiness to disrupt destabilization in this area,
    but higher severe probabilities may eventually be needed if trends
    support robust storm development during the afternoon/evening.

    ...Southern VA/northern NC...
    Scattered storm development will be possible near the front across
    parts of VA/NC. Deep-layer flow/shear will generally be weak, but
    steep low-level lapse rates could support locally damaging outflow
    winds with the strongest storms.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    TX INTO SOUTHWEST OK AND THE ARKLATEX...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST-CENTRAL
    MO ACROSS SOUTHERN IL INTO SOUTHERN IN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on later today into this
    evening from the southern Plains into the Lower Ohio Valley, with
    the greatest risk expected across north-central Texas into the
    ArkLaTex region. Large to very large hail, damaging winds, and
    tornadoes are all possible, with some strong-tornado potential.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early morning satellite imagery shows a mature convective complex
    over western OK and northwest TX, another decaying convective
    complex over southern MO, and a shortwave trough moving across the
    Southwest. Recent surface analysis shows a mesolow associated with
    western OK/northwest TX MCS over the SPS vicinity, with another,
    more substantial low back southwest near SNK. An outflow boundary
    from prior convection extends from south-central OK through
    southeastern OK before becoming more diffuse and merging with the
    stationary front over central AR.

    The ongoing MCS is forecast to continue eastward/northeastward
    throughout the day while the Southwest shortwave progresses into the
    southern High Plains. Farther east, the stationary front that
    extends from AR into the Mid-Atlantic is expected to begin
    translating back northward as a warm front.

    ...North TX/Southern OK into the Arklatex and Mid-South...
    The well-organized MCS currently tracking across southwest OK and
    northwest TX is forecast to continue east-northeastward throughout
    much of the period. The northern portion of this system will likely
    remain progressive, moving through southern OK and north TX.
    Damaging gusts and occasional hail will be possible with this system
    throughout much of its lifecycle. Buoyancy decreases with eastern
    extent, so the system should begin to lose intensity, but its
    organized character limits the predictability of where that will
    occur. Not only that, but downstream destabilization could lead to
    potential reintensification/redevelopment along the outflow during
    the late afternoon. Vertical shear will be modest, suggesting
    reorganization into a severe convective line appears unlikely.

    The southwestern portion of this MCS is expected to trail behind the
    more forward-progression portion as it becomes more parallel to the
    deep-layer shear vector. This orientation would likely keep deep
    convection out of central/northeast TX before this afternoon. Storm
    development appears probable across central TX as the surface low
    and associated dryline shifts eastward ahead of the Southwest
    shortwave trough. Development is possible ahead of this dryline
    within the destabilized warm sector over northeast TX as well. Lapse
    rates will be modest, but ample low-level moisture will still result
    in moderate to strong buoyancy during the afternoon. Additionally, a
    belt of stronger low-level flow is anticipated to persist,
    supporting strong low-level shear and veering low-level hodographs.
    The conditions support the potential for supercells capable of all
    severe hazards, including tornadoes.

    Eventual storm clustering could lead to development of a nocturnal
    MCS that could eventually approach parts of the lower MS Valley,
    with at least an isolated severe threat.

    ...West TX into Northwest TX/Southwest OK...
    Additional strong to severe storms will be possible across parts of
    west TX, in closer proximity to shortwave trough moving across the
    southern High Plains. Cold temperatures aloft and steep lapse rates
    will support a threat of hail and localized severe gusts, even
    though deep-layer flow/shear will be more modest within this regime.
    These storms may eventually spread toward southwest OK/northwest TX
    before weakening.

    ...Parts of MS/OH Valleys...
    Afternoon thunderstorm development is anticipated amid modest
    low-level moisture advection in the wake of the convective cluster
    currently moving through southwest MO. Modest buoyancy and shear
    across the region suggest there is some potential for at least
    transient storm organization in the vicinity of the frontal zone,
    with an attendant threat for hail, locally damaging wind, and
    possibly a tornado.

    ...Southern VA/northern NC...
    Scattered storm development will be possible near the front across
    parts of VA/NC. Deep-layer flow/shear will generally be weak, but
    steep low-level lapse rates could support locally damaging outflow
    winds with the strongest storms.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on later today into this
    evening from the southern Plains into the Lower Ohio Valley, with
    the greatest risk expected across the ArkLaTex region. A few
    tornadoes are all possible, with some strong-tornado potential.
    Damaging winds and large hail are also possible.

    ...Northeast TX/Southeast OK/Northwest LA...
    A large, organized MCS is tracking eastward across southeast OK and
    northeast TX. The leading edge of the MCS is moving into a very
    moist environment with dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s,
    beneath moderately steep mid-level lapse rates. Backed surface
    winds and a convectively-enhanced corridor of southerly winds in the
    1-3km layer (shown in FWD VAD and CAM solutions) are contributing to
    favorable shear profiles for storm organization and rotation. QLCS
    spinups along the line will be possible through the day. Forecast
    soundings suggest a rather weak cap atop a nearly saturated
    boundary-layer. This would also suggest concern for discrete
    convective initiation ahead of the line over northeast TX, with
    tornado risk as well. Locally damaging wind gusts will also be a
    concern through the afternoon and early evening across the region.

    ...Southern IL/IN...
    A surface warm front is lifting northward across southern IL/IN
    today, with clearing skies and increasing insolation across the
    area. Most morning model solutions show scattered thunderstorm
    development near the front, track northeastward toward central IN by
    evening. Forecast soundings suggest a risk of a few supercells
    capable of large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two.

    ...West TX into southwest OK...
    Visible satellite imagery shows decreasing low clouds and increasing destabilization across parts of west TX. This area will likely see
    widely scattered thunderstorm development later this afternoon.
    Steep mid-level lapse rates, sufficient CAPE, and favorable
    deep-layer shear will promote a risk of large hail in the stronger
    cells.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST-CENTRAL
    MISSOURI INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS/INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible into this evening from
    the southern Plains into the Lower Ohio Valley, with the greatest
    risk expected across the ArkLaTex region. Damaging winds, hail and a
    few tornadoes are likely.

    ...20z Update...
    The primary change for the outlook is to clear severe probabilities
    behind the line across OK and north TX. The well developed MCS will
    continue to progress eastward into AR and the MS Valley through
    tonight. While forward speed have been somewhat slow, a substantial
    cold pool (as evidenced by a wake low over central OK) should
    continue to accelerate and pose a risk for damaging winds and a few
    embedded tornadoes over the Ozarks and MS Valley into this evening.

    Across central TX, numerous warm advection storms have developed and
    should continue to intensify this afternoon. Backed flow along the
    outflow immediately ahead of the MCS and a broad confluence zone
    will contribute to favorable shear profiles for storm organization
    and rotation. However, the stronger southward advance of the cold
    pool will limit storm residence time in the favorable shear zone.
    Some undercutting may favor continued upscale growth of the line
    with time. A few supercells are also likely to organize with
    damaging winds, hail, and a few tornadoes possible.

    Farther west, isolated convection ongoing beneath the cold core
    upper trough should continue to slowly intensify. With cold
    mid-level temperatures (-15 to -18C at 500 mb) some risk for hail
    and damaging gusts remains across west TX and eastern NM.

    Across the Appalachians and Tidewater Region of VA/NC, isolated
    thunderstorms are ongoing and likely to continue through this
    afternoon and ahead of a slowly moving cold front. Vertical shear
    and buoyancy are rather weak, suggesting storm organization will be
    minimal. While an isolated damaging gust or small hail cannot be
    ruled out, the coverage of organized severe storms appears to be
    below 5%. Have removed the MRGL risk from VA/NC and shifted
    probabilities into eastern KY where vertical shear is slightly more
    robust.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT ACROSS
    PARTS OF SRN AND ERN TX...NRN LA...ERN AR...NWRN MS...WRN TN...SERN
    MO...SRN IL AND SRN IN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for strong to severe thunderstorm development may continue
    into late evening across parts of the southeastern Great Plains into
    Mid South and lower Ohio Valley, before waning overnight.

    ...01Z Update...
    A notable mid-level short wave trough emerging from the Southwest
    has reached the southern Great Plains and is forecast to pivot
    northeastward toward the middle Mississippi Valley overnight,
    downstream of similar amplitude trough digging across the
    Canadian/U.S. border. The lead perturbation has been preceded by
    extensive convection the past day or two across the southern Great
    Plains, which has substantially stabilized the boundary layer across
    much of north Texas and Oklahoma.

    The leading edge of the convective outflow has remained a focus for
    vigorous thunderstorm development. While this boundary may be
    slowing or gradually stalling south of Longview and Temple TX, 3-4+
    mb 2-hourly surface pressure rises are now evident in 00Z surface
    observations in a corridor across the Shreveport LA, El Dorado and
    Little Rock AR vicinities, with more modest falls (1-1.5 mb
    2-hourly) at Memphis TN and Walnut Ridge AR. Based on this, it
    appears that the gust front will advance eastward across the
    Mississippi River through late evening. As it does, it may continue
    to be accompanied by gusts approaching or briefly exceeding severe
    limits, but less unstable updraft inflow probably will gradually
    contribute to weakening convective trends.

    It does appear that at least a modest surface low is in the process
    of forming downstream of the lead short wave trough, across
    southwestern Missouri. As this feature migrates northeastward
    tonight, models indicate that a belt of 30-35+ kt southerly flow
    around 850 mb, now extending across southeastern Texas through the
    Mid South, will shift across the lower Ohio Valley toward the lower
    Great Lakes region. Despite the strengthening wind fields and
    shear, ongoing thunderstorm development near a surface warm front, east-northeast of St Louis toward the Cincinnati area, is not
    expected to undergo substantive further intensification, and
    probably will begin to wane as the boundary-layer stabilizes with
    the loss of heating, and better low-level moisture return becomes
    cut off by the progression of the convective outflow to the south.

    Across Texas, weakening wind fields/shear and forcing for ascent
    probably will lead to weakening convective trends by late evening,
    as the boundary-layer stabilizes with the loss of daytime heating.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF WRN NY...WRN PA...WRN WV...MUCH OF
    OH...SERN IN...CNTRL AND ERN KY...MIDDLE TN...CNTRL/SRN
    MS...NRN/CNTRL LA...SRN AR...SRN OK...NRN TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Lines and/or clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely
    to impact parts of the Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes, parts of
    the lower Mississippi Valley, and the southern Great Plains this
    afternoon through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    It appears that an amplifying mid/upper flow regime across the
    northern mid-latitudes of the eastern Pacific into North America
    will undergo further amplification while continuing to develop
    inland through this period. This will include a prominent ridge
    overspreading the Canadian Rockies and northern U.S. intermountain
    region later today through tonight, perhaps with an embedded high
    evolving to the east of the Cascades.

    Downstream, a notable short wave trough is forecast to continue
    digging to the lee of the northern U.S. Rockies, preceded by a short
    wave trough which has recently emerged from the Southwest. Models
    suggest that the lead perturbation will undergo shearing, but it may
    still provide support for modest deepening of a surface low
    northeast of the middle Mississippi Valley through lower Great Lakes
    region by late tonight.

    To the southwest of this low, conglomerate outflow from extensive
    convective development of prior days will at least initially precede
    and obscure any trailing surface front. By 12Z this morning, it
    appears that the leading edge of this outflow will be in the process
    of advancing eastward through the lower Ohio Valley, while stalling
    and weakening across the lower Mississippi Valley through upper
    Texas coastal plain. It remains a bit unclear the extent to which
    the surface outflow, residual cloud cover and rain will impact
    destabilization and convective potential later today. It is
    possible that this could impact a sizable area centered across parts
    of the Mid South.

    ...Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes...
    Uncertainty exists concerning the possible influence of convective
    outflow and cloud cover on destabilization, and spread is evident
    among the various model output concerning the synoptic evolution.
    However, broad surface troughing overspreading the region during the
    day may provide the focus for the highest probabilities of vigorous thunderstorm development. Boundary-layer moistening (including mid
    60s F surface dew points) and warming may become sufficient to
    support mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 1000-2000+ J/kg, in the
    presence of 30-50 kt south to southwesterly flow in the 850-500 mb
    layer. This environment may become conducive to organizing lines or
    clusters of storms, and perhaps a few supercell structures, posing a
    risk of severe wind and hail, with at least some potential for
    tornadoes, during the afternoon and evening.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley vicinity...
    Large-scale forcing for ascent to support convective development
    remains unclear, on top of the possible lingering influence of
    convective outflow, cloud cover and rain. However, the NAM and
    Rapid Refresh suggest that a zone of strengthening differential
    heating may develop across the Ark-La-Tex into lower Mississippi
    Valley during the day, providing a focus for strong destabilization
    beneath steep-lapse rates associated with remnant elevated
    mixed-layer air. Aided by boundary-layer moisture characterized by
    surface dew points near 70F, large CAPE on the order of 2000-3000+
    J/kg is forecast beneath modest westerly mid-level flow. Perhaps
    aided by lift associated with low-level warm advection, organizing
    convection posing a risk for large hail and damaging wind gusts
    appears possible. This may include supercell structures, at least
    initially, and eventually an upscale growing, east-southeastward
    propagating cluster.

    ...Raton Mesa into southern Great Plains Red River vicinity...
    Models indicate another zone of potentially strong convective
    development may evolve late this afternoon into tonight, as the
    boundary layer moistens and heats beneath the northern periphery of
    a plume of elevated mixed-layer air. It appears that this will
    advect east/east-southeast of the southern Rockies, near the
    southern periphery of the mid-level troughing digging to the lee of
    the northern Rockies. Models suggest that a smaller-scale embedded perturbation may be accompanied by increasing convective development
    across and east-southeast of the Raton Mesa vicinity by early this
    evening. Aided by updraft inflow of increasing instability across
    the Texas Panhandle into areas near/north of the Red River, there
    appears potential for the evolution of an upscale growing cluster.
    The 01/00Z NAM, in particular, generates a convective perturbation
    that would appear to include 70+ kt westerly rear inflow (in the
    850-700 mb layer) across Oklahoma by late tonight. Based on other
    output, this appears an outlier, but the evolution of a convective
    cluster posing a risk for severe hail and wind appears possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MS
    VALLEY THROUGH THE TN AND OH VALLEYS INTO THE LOWER GREAT
    LAKES...AND FROM THE TX/OK PANHANDLES EASTWARD ACROSS OK AND NORTH
    TX....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Lines and/or clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely
    to impact parts of the Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes, parts of
    the lower Mississippi Valley, and the southern Great Plains this
    afternoon through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early morning satellite imagery shows several shortwave troughs
    across the CONUS, including one entering the Lower MO Valley/Ozarks
    vicinity, another moving into NE, and another off the southern CA
    coast. The lead wave is forecast to progress quickly northeastward
    through the OH Valley and Great Lakes while losing amplitude under
    the increasingly confluent flow aloft. At the same time, another
    shortwave trough will drop southeastward through the northern High
    Plains into the northern/central Plains, leading to some
    amplification of the upper troughing across the north-central CONUS.

    Recent surface analysis revealed several lows within a broad area of
    low pressure across the central CONUS, one over west-central IL,
    another near the SD/ND/MN border intersection, and a third over
    north-central OK. A warm front extends eastward from the low over
    west-central IL, while modest troughing extends between the Upper
    Midwest low and the one over north-central OK.

    The west-central IL low is expected to deepen throughout the day as
    it moves northeastward ahead of its parent shortwave, with the
    attendant warm front advancing northward as well. The northernmost
    surface low is expected to progress slowly eastward as well, with
    its associated surface troughing also drifting eastward. A more
    stationary pattern is anticipated in the vicinity of the OK low
    throughout much of the period.

    ...TN/OH Valleys into the Lower Great Lakes...
    Low 60s dewpoints are already in place across the Lower OH and TN
    Valley this morning. Continued northward/northeastward advection of
    this low-level moisture is anticipated today as the surface low
    progresses northeastward. This increased moisture coupled with
    modest heating will help support moderate buoyancy across much of
    the region by early afternoon. Broad large-scale ascent and surface
    troughing are expected over the region amid this destabilization,
    which is forecast to result in widespread thunderstorms during the
    afternoon and evening. The convective mode will likely be dominated
    by linear structures, with one or more convective lines possible.
    Primary severe risk will be damaging gusts, supported by moderate
    southwesterly flow in the lower troposphere. Some hail is also
    possible, particularly during cell mergers. The tornado risk will be
    low but non-zero, as veered low-level flow limits the low-level
    shear.

    ...Lower MS Valley...
    The airmass across the region is expected to quickly destabilize as
    low-level moisture advects back into the region in the wake of the
    convection currently moving through. Upper 60s dewpoints coupled
    with modest heating will result in moderate to strong buoyancy and
    no convective inhibition by the early afternoon. Even modest
    low-level convergence should be enough to initiate deep convection,
    but any remnant outflow could also act as a focus for convective
    initiation. Robust updrafts are expected with initial development,
    with a quick trend towards outflow-dominant structures. Large hail
    and damaging gusts are the primary risks.

    ...TX/OK Panhandles into much of OK and north TX...
    Low-level moisture is expected to advect back northwestward into the
    TX Panhandle throughout the day. Cold mid-level temperatures are
    already in place (-16 deg C at 500 on the 12Z AMA sounding), so this
    added low-level moisture coupled with glancing ascent will likely
    result in late evening thunderstorm development. Most of the convection-allowing guidance is suggesting these storms will grow
    upscale quickly into an MCS, with some of guidance suggesting it
    could be quite and capable of producing significant wind gusts as it
    moves eastward across the TX Panhandle and into OK.

    Additionally, gradual increase in the low-level moisture beneath
    cold mid-level temperatures and associated steep mid-level lapse
    rates will result in strong buoyancy across southern OK. Modest
    warm-air advection could result in convective initiation across this
    region amid an environment that supports very large hail.

    Complex interaction is possible between the potential MCS and the
    more cellular development ahead of it, but some severe threat
    appears possible through early tomorrow morning.

    AND CENTRAL TX....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Lines and/or clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely
    to impact parts of the Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes, parts of
    the lower Mississippi Valley, and the southern Great Plains this
    afternoon through tonight.

    ...OH Valley...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a progressive and large shortwave
    trough moving across parts of MO/IL. Forcing ahead of this trough
    will lead to scattered thunderstorm development over eastern IN and
    central KY, with storms spreading northeastward through the
    afternoon and early evening. Forecast soundings show deep and
    moderately strong southwest flow aloft. This coupled with
    sufficient CAPE will pose a threat of organized lines/clusters of
    storms capable of damaging wind gusts. Activity is expected to
    spread into western NY/PA during the early evening before weakening.


    ...Central TX...
    A weak surface boundary extends from west-central LA westward into
    central TX this morning. Strong heating and ample moisture
    along/south of the boundary will yield max CAPE values over 4000
    J/kg by late afternoon. Most 12z CAM solutions indicate at least
    isolated intense convection forming in this corridor. Those storms
    that form will pose a risk of very large hail and damaging winds.
    Other intense storms may form off the high terrain of northern
    Mexico and build into parts of central TX this evening.

    ...TX Panhandle into OK...
    A combination of strong heating and upslope low-level winds into the
    Raton mesa will aid in the development of a cluster of thunderstorms
    over southeast CO this afternoon. This activity will track
    southeastward into a progressively more moist/unstable air mass over
    the TX panhandle and western OK, where a few more intense storms are
    expected. Cells and bowing structures will pose a risk of large
    hail and damaging winds. By late tonight, other storms are expected
    to form ahead of this complex, affecting parts of central OK with a
    risk of large hail.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Lines and/or clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely
    to impact parts of the Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes, parts of
    the lower Mississippi Valley, and the southern Great Plains through
    tonight.

    ...20z...
    The broad and rather nebulous severe threat continues across much of
    the central and eastern CONUS. Damaging wind and marginally severe
    hail potential will continue across parts of the OH Valley ahead of
    the intensifying band of thunderstorms this afternoon/evening.
    Trimming was done behind the line over the lower Great lakes and
    Midwest, where limited forcing for ascent, less buoyancy and weaker
    vertical shear are in place. While an isolated stronger storm
    remains possible, the lack of greater storm organization should
    curtail higher severe potential through the remainder of today.

    Farther south across the Mid MS and TN Valley, isolated strong to
    occasionally severe storms will remain possible over a broad area
    this afternoon. The warm and moist air mass will support some risk
    for occasional strong, water-loaded downdrafts with damaging gust
    potential. However, the coverage of severe storms appears low and
    the SLGT has been removed.

    Otherwise, the severe risk remains largely unchanged over parts of
    the Southern Plains. Isolated storms, including a few supercells,
    are possible over parts of central TX with a risk for damaging winds
    and hail. High-based convection ongoing over southeastern CO should
    continue to gradually grow upscale into this evening over parts of
    the TX/OK Panhandles. Damaging gusts and some hail are possible. By
    late tonight, an increasingly strong southerly low-level jet will
    support the development of additional storms ahead of this complex.
    Merging cells and bowing structures will pose a risk of damaging
    gusts, hail and isolated tornadoes overnight across parts of central
    OK and the Red River valley.
