    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM A PORTION
    OF EASTERN IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY AS WELL AS
    THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible Friday from a portion of the
    upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with large
    hail and damaging wind the main threats. Other severe storms may
    occur across the TN Valley region with a few tornadoes and damaging
    wind the primary threats.

    ...Middle Mississippi Valley through the Great Lakes and Ohio
    Valley...

    East-west quasi-stationary front will stretch across the Great
    Lakes into southern portions of the Northeast States early Friday.
    Elevated storms will be ongoing within zone of isentropic
    ascent north of this boundary. Rich low-level moisture with upper
    60s to low 70s F dewpoints will reside in the warm sector farther
    south. The atmosphere will likely become moderately to strongly
    unstable as the boundary layer warms during the afternoon with
    MLCAPE from 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE likely. A southeast-advancing cold
    front will accompany a progressive northern-stream trough through
    the upper MS Valley during the afternoon, continuing into the
    Midwest during the evening. Additional storms will likely develop as
    the front interacts with the destabilizing boundary layer from
    southern WI into IA, and this activity will subsequently spread
    southeast. Vertical wind profiles will strengthen as the upper
    trough advances east-southeast, and potential will exist for
    organized storms including a few supercells as well as lines with
    bowing segments. Damaging wind and hail should be the main threats.

    ...Tennessee and Kentucky...

    The remnants of Hurricane Laura should be located over northeast
    Arkansas by 12Z Friday based on the latest forecast track from the
    National Hurricane Center. This feature is forecast to advance east
    northeast during the period through western TN and KY as it begins
    to interact with the southern fringe of the mid-latitude westerlies.
    The kinematic environment associated with the remnants of Laura
    should remain favorable for a few tornadoes, especially during the
    afternoon when the boundary layer will have the potential to be more
    unstable. However, the threat may continue into the overnight across
    portions of TN and KY as the system continues east.

    ...Central Plains...

    It still appears more substantial thunderstorm initiation along the
    cold front will probably remain limited across the central Plains
    during the afternoon. A greater signal exists in the upslope region
    of CO where storms will likely develop over the higher terrain later
    in the day. This activity will spread east possibly reaching the
    central High Plains, posing a risk for a few damaging wind gusts and
    hail during the evening. Additional storms may develop overnight
    across KS, mainly north of the front, and some of this activity may
    become capable of producing hail and locally strong wind gusts.

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

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND TN VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible Friday from a portion of the
    upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley with large
    hail and damaging wind the main threats. Other severe storms may
    occur across the Tennessee Valley region with a few tornadoes and
    damaging winds the primary threats.

    ...Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and
    Mid-Atlantic...
    An MCS will likely be ongoing Friday morning across some portion of
    the Upper Midwest (probably the central/southern MN into northern IA
    vicinity). This MCS may continue to pose at least an isolated
    damaging wind threat across parts of WI before it weakens by mid to
    late morning. In the wake of this morning activity, additional
    robust storm development appears possible Friday afternoon across
    parts of WI/IA/northern IL as an upper trough advances
    east-southeastward from central Canada and the northern Plains into
    the Upper Midwest. A weak surface low is also forecast to develop
    eastward from MN into WI and eventually Lower MI through the day,
    with a trailing cold front moving southeastward across the Upper
    Midwest.

    There is still a fair amount of uncertainty regarding the northward
    extent of appreciable surface-based storm potential across WI, which
    will largely be dependent on how quickly the morning storms
    weaken/move eastward Friday morning. Even with this uncertainty,
    strong diurnal heating of a low-level airmass characterized by upper
    60s to low 70s surface dewpoints ahead of the cold front will likely
    support the development of 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE by peak
    afternoon heating. 40-50 kt of mid-level westerly flow should foster
    similar values of effective bulk shear. Redevelopment along the cold
    front in the afternoon is likely, with supercells the main storm
    mode initially. Both scattered large hail and severe wind gusts may
    occur, with a more focused corridor of severe potential evident
    across southern WI, eastern IA, and northern IL as storms grow
    upscale into a small bow/line through early Friday evening. A few
    tornadoes also appear possible along a warm front extending eastward
    from the surface low, where low-level shear will be relatively
    maximized in association with a modestly enhanced low-level jet.

    Farther east across the Great Lakes and OH Valley/Mid-Atlantic,
    mainly elevated convection may be ongoing Friday morning along a
    stalled front. The potential for additional storm development
    through the day remains unclear, although a mid-level perturbation
    associated with the morning MCS over the Upper Midwest may provide
    enough large-scale ascent for scattered storms by Friday afternoon.
    Generally 25-40 kt of effective bulk shear in combination with
    1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE along/south of the front should be
    sufficient for a mix of supercells and multicells, with the better
    supercell potential across Lower MI and the OH Valley where
    deep-layer shear should be somewhat stronger. Although marginally
    severe hail may occur, the main threat should be damaging winds as
    storms congeal into multiple clusters and small bows while moving
    eastward. Have expanded the Slight Risk eastward across parts of PA,
    where a greater concentration of storms appears probable.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee Valley...
    Laura is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to be a Tropical
    Depression in the vicinity of northeastern AR by the start of the
    period Friday morning. As the cyclone develops east-northeastward
    through the day, a broken band of storms may form along its eastern
    flank across parts of the Lower MS Valley into the TN Valley and
    vicinity. Although instability may remain fairly modest owing to
    poor mid-level lapse rates, around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE may still
    develop. The low-level wind field associated with Laura should
    remain favorable for low-level rotation with any low-topped
    supercells that can form. The straight-line damaging wind potential
    may also increase across parts of the TN Valley Friday afternoon if
    storms can grow into one or more line segments, as some
    convection-allowing model guidance suggests.

    ...Central Plains...
    Convective initiation along the southward-moving cold front still
    appears very questionable across most of the central Plains through
    the day, as appreciable large-scale ascent should remain displaced
    to the north of this region. A better potential for convective
    initiation Friday afternoon appears across parts of the higher
    terrain of CO, where a weak low-level upslope flow regime will
    exist. This activity should spread eastward, possibly reaching the
    central High Plains while posing a risk for a few severe wind gusts
    and perhaps some hail during the evening. Additional storms may
    develop overnight across KS, mainly north of the front. Some of this
    activity may become capable of producing hail and locally strong
    wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    KANSAS INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND FROM THE
    CAROLINAS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible from southern Kansas into
    northern Oklahoma and Arkansas Saturday afternoon and evening with
    damaging wind and large hail the main threats. A modest risk for a
    few strong to severe storms will exist from the Carolinas into the
    Middle Atlantic during the day with damaging wind gusts and a few
    tornadoes possible.

    ...Southern Kansas, Northern Oklahoma into northern Arkansas...

    A cold front will advance southward into OK and the TX Panhandle
    Saturday where the atmosphere will likely become moderately to
    strongly unstable in warm sector. Current indications are that
    elevated storms will probably be in progress north of the boundary
    across KS Saturday morning. Several CAMs as well as NAM and ECWMF
    depict an MCS and associated MCV across southern KS early in the
    period, and this activity will shift east southeast over top of a
    low-amplitude synoptic ridge during the day. Potential will exist
    for additional storms to develop across southern KS into northern OK
    as the shortwave trough advances east and interacts with the front
    and destabilizing boundary layer. Stronger flow/vertical shear will
    accompany the shortwave trough, and storms will have the potential
    to organize. A low-level jet will likely strengthen during the
    evening in association with this mesoscale system and help to
    sustain an organized MCS into the lower MS Valley region into the
    overnight. Damaging wind and hail will be the main threats.

    Other more isolated strong to severe storms may develop farther west
    in the post-frontal upslope region across the higher terrain of CO
    and spread east into High Plains during the late afternoon and
    evening. A few instances of large hail and damaging wind will be the
    main threats.

    ...Carolinas through the Middle Atlantic...

    Remnants of Laura are forecast to accelerate through the southern
    Appalachians and Carolinas to southern Middle Atlantic regions on
    Saturday as the system becomes absorbed within belt of westerlies.
    Laura should become loosely phased with a progressive
    northern-stream trough that will move through the Great Lakes and
    Northeast States. The accompanying cold front should extend from a
    surface low over the lower Great Lakes southwestward into the Ohio
    Valley early in the day. The front will continue into the Northeast
    States and Middle Atlantic during the mid to late afternoon. Rich
    tropical moisture will reside in pre-frontal warm sector, but weak
    lapse rates and potential for widespread clouds will likely result
    in marginal instability. The stronger low-level wind fields and
    largest hodographs accompanying Laura should spread through NC and
    southern VA based on latest guidance, but the system will continue
    to undergo a weakening trend. Latest satellite imagery show Laura is transitioning to a hybrid system and is entraining dry air in the
    mid-upper levels. This transition might allow for greater diabatic
    heating and destabilization of the boundary layer across parts of NC
    and VA where tornado threat will be greatest, but conditional upon
    sufficient low-level destabilization.

    Farther north into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast States, low-level
    hodographs will be smaller, but the kinematic environment might be
    sufficient for a threat of locally strong wind gusts with storms
    developing along and ahead of the advancing cold front. Threat in
    this region is also conditional upon sufficient boundary layer
    destabilization, which remains uncertain given potential for
    widespread clouds and areas of ongoing precipitation.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms will be possible over parts of the Great
    Plains Sunday afternoon and evening with damaging wind and large
    hail the main threats.

    ...Great Plains...
    An upper-level trough will move across the northern High Plains on
    Sunday as flow aloft remains divergent across the central and
    northern Plains. At the surface, a corridor of maximized low-level
    moisture will be in place from western Kansas northward into central
    South Dakota where MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 1500 to 2500
    J/kg range. A cold front will advance southeastward across the
    central and northern Plains, providing a focus for convective
    development during the mid to late afternoon. Although thunderstorms
    should initially remain relatively isolated, convective coverage is
    expected to increase during the early evening. A few clusters of
    storms appear likely to move east-southward across the
    instability/moisture corridor.

    In addition to the moderate instability, model forecasts show 0-6 km
    shear in the 35 to 45 kt range across much of the central and
    northern Plains. Mid-level lapse rates are also steep. This
    environment should be favorable for supercells with large hail. A
    wind-damage threat will also likely accompany supercells. The
    potential for wind damage and hail is expected to persist into the
    early to mid evening as several organized short line segments move east-southeastward across the region.

    ...Arkansas River Valley/Lower to Mid Mississippi Valley...
    A shortwave trough will move eastward across the lower Missouri
    Valley and Ozarks on Sunday. At the surface, an east-to-west
    corridor of maximized low-level moisture will be in place from the
    southern Plains Red River Valley into the lower to mid Mississippi
    Valley. Scattered thunderstorms appear likely to develop along this
    corridor during the afternoon. Although deep-layer shear is forecast
    to be in the 20 to 30 kt range, moderate instability will be in
    place and low-level lapse rates will be steep. This should be enough
    for a marginal wind-damage threat with the stronger multicells.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms will be possible over parts of the Great
    Plains Sunday afternoon and evening with damaging wind and large
    hail the main threats.

    ...Dakotas through central and eastern Nebraska...

    A strong cold front will accompany a northern-stream shortwave
    trough through the northern and central Plains Sunday. By early
    Sunday this front should extend from western ND southwest into
    northern Wyoming. A lee trough will extend southward through the
    central High Plains. The cold front will advance southeast during
    the period and by 12Z Monday should extend from eastern MN
    southwestward through KS and into northeast NM. A narrow corridor of
    modest low-level moisture with upper 50s to low 60s F dewpoints will
    advect northward through the pre-frontal warm sector beneath steep
    mid-level lapse rates resulting in 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Elevated
    storms with a marginal hail threat may develop in post frontal
    region of ND early in the day. However, it still appears the
    atmosphere will remain capped to surface based thunderstorms until
    the front interacts with the destabilizing boundary layer during the
    mid to late afternoon, when storms will likely develop from the
    central Dakotas into NE. Winds aloft will increase with the approach
    of the upper trough, though stronger flow will remain post frontal.
    Moderate instability and effective bulk shear from 30-40 kt will
    support both multicell and some supercell structures with damaging
    wind and large hail the main threats through mid evening.

    ...Southern Plains through lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valley
    regions...

    East-west oriented baroclinic zone will stretch from OK through the
    TN Valley region and will remain active with ongoing convection. The
    warm sector south of the stalled boundary will likely become
    moderately unstable, and a series of MCVs will advance from west to
    east within belt of modest winds aloft. Additional storms will
    likely develop within the frontal zone during the day, and some of
    this activity will become capable of producing isolated damaging
    wind and hail. However, given the complexities associated with
    ongoing convection, considerable uncertainty remains regarding where
    the best severe potential will be. Will therefore maintain MRGL risk
    category for this update, but a SLGT risk might be required for a
    portion of this region in later outlooks.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging wind are possible
    Monday over parts of the southern Plains and lower Arkansas River
    Valley. Other strong storms may occur over a portion of the
    Carolinas into southern Virginia.

    ...Southern Plains region...

    On Monday the southern Plains will remain within a belt of modest
    westerly winds aloft with embedded weak perturbations. A stalled
    front will reside from central OK into northern AR early in the
    period. A few showers and thunderstorms may be in progress along
    portions of this boundary, but this activity is expected to move
    east and diminish during the day as the low-level jet veers and
    weakens. In wake of the morning activity, at least partial clearing
    skies will promote destabilization of the moist boundary layer
    beneath 7-7.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates supporting 2000-3000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. A cold front will advance southeast and should extend from
    MO into northern OK and northwestern TX by late afternoon.
    Additional storms are expected to develop as this boundary interacts
    with the destabilizing surface layer, and this activity will spread
    southeast during the evening. The modest wind profiles will support
    25-35 kt effective bulk shear and mostly multicell convection.
    However, the thermodynamic environment appears sufficient for storms
    to produce locally strong to damaging wind gusts and hail from
    mid-late afternoon into the evening.

    ...Central North Carolina into Southern Virginia...

    A modest southerly low level jet is expected to develop across
    western VA, possibly extending into a portion of northern NC during
    the day in association with the approach of a low-amplitude
    shortwave trough. At the surface an east-west oriented stationary
    front should extend across NC. Showers and storms may be ongoing
    north of this boundary early in period. However, potential will
    exist for destabilization of the moist boundary layer along and
    south of the front during the day where fewer clouds are expected.
    Some enhancement of low-level hodographs will exist along trailing
    end of the low-level jet where it intersects the front from a
    portion of northern NC into southern VA. Additional storms will
    likely develop along this boundary during the afternoon, and some
    threat for a couple of brief tornadoes will exist with storms
    interacting with the boundary. Have introduced a 2% tornado this
    outlook, but this region will continue to be monitored for a
    possible SLGT risk in day 1 updates.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM A PORTION
    OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms capable of mainly severe gusts and
    hail will be possible over a portion of the southern Plains Tuesday.
    Other storms with a few locally strong to severe gusts will be
    possible over a portion of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys.

    ...Southern Plains region...

    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing along and south of a stalled
    front from the lower MS Valley region into southern OK and northern
    TX, possibly extending westward through a portion of western TX. A
    moist warm sector will reside south of ongoing storms across
    northern through central TX where the atmosphere will likely become
    moderately unstable. Activity will likely continue developing slowly
    south during the day with potential for a few locally strong gusts.
    However, belt of modest southwest mid-upper flow will reside over
    this region downstream from an upper low amplifying across the 4
    corners region. With only modest flow aloft parallel to outflow
    boundary and presence of weak vertical shear, overall threat does
    not seem to warrant more than a MRGL risk category.

    Farther west, overall severe threat will depend on extent of morning convection. However, current indications are that a corridor of
    moderate instability may develop in vicinity of a dryline feature
    across western TX where steeper mid level lapse rates will exist.
    Additional storms may develop along this feature during the
    afternoon, and effective bulk shear from 30-40 kt could support a
    few rotating updrafts capable of large hail and strong wind gusts.
    Due to uncertainty regarding extent of early convection and residual
    clouds, will maintain MRGL risk category this update, but an upgrade
    to SLGT might be warranted in day 1 outlooks.

    ...Tennessee and Ohio Valley regions...

    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing south of a stalled front from
    the lower and middle MS valley into the western TN and OH Valley
    regions. A shortwave trough will advance northeast through this
    region during the day augmenting vertical wind profiles. Primary
    uncertainty this outlook for a more robust severe threat is
    destabilization potential, given weak lapse rates and expected
    widespread clouds. Some destabilization is possible, but
    thermodynamic profiles will likely remain marginal. Nevertheless, a
    few strong storms could develop during the afternoon where
    sufficient boundary layer warming occurs. Vertical wind profiles in
    association with the progressive shortwave trough might become
    sufficient for a few organized structures with damaging wind and
    perhaps a brief tornado or two the main threats.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHEAST/MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE OHIO VALLEY/MID-SOUTH...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Wednesday from
    parts of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic into the Ohio Valley/Mid-South.

    ...Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic...
    An upper trough over Ontario/Quebec and the Great Lakes is forecast
    to develop across the Northeast and Quebec on Wednesday. The
    strongest mid-level flow should remain confined to parts of northern
    NY and New England, although modestly enhanced winds (around 30-35
    kt) at mid levels will likely extend as far south as the
    Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a weak low initially over southern
    Ontario should develop northeastward through the day, with a
    trailing cold front moving southeastward across the Northeast and
    Mid-Atlantic. A warm front is also forecast to lift northward across
    parts of these regions through Wednesday evening.

    Poor mid-level lapse rates will be present across the warm sector,
    which should temper updraft strength to some degree through much of
    the day. Still, 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop ahead of the
    cold front across parts of PA/NY into far western New England owing
    to diurnal heating of an increasingly moist low-level airmass.
    Greater instability (1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE) may be realized
    across parts of the Mid-Atlantic to the east of the Blue Ridge
    Mountains, where rich low-level moisture should be present and
    stronger diurnal heating will likely occur. Around 30-40 kt of
    effective bulk shear should act to organize storms as they form
    along/ahead of the cold front, and along a lee trough extending
    southward near/east of the Appalachians. A mix of multicells and
    marginal supercell structures will be possible.

    Isolated strong/gusty downdraft winds capable of producing some
    damage may occur as storms move eastward through early Wednesday
    evening given the enhanced mid-level flow. A tornado or two also
    appears possible with any of the more discrete storms, as low-level
    winds should be strong enough to support 100-150 m2/s2 of 0-1 km
    SRH. An upgrade to Slight Risk may be needed for parts of the
    Mid-Atlantic if current model trends continue, but confidence in
    overall storm coverage/intensity was not high enough to introduce
    greater severe probabilities just yet.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Mid-South...
    Clusters of thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across parts of the
    southern Plains into AR Wednesday morning in association with a weak
    upper trough. A convectively enhanced, small-scale mid-level
    perturbation may move northeastward across parts of the Mid-South
    and OH Valley through the day. There appears to be some potential
    for a small thunderstorm cluster to move northeastward over these
    areas in tandem with the mid-level perturbation. Isolated strong to
    damaging winds appear to be the main severe threat with this
    activity, as mid-level southwesterly flow should be modestly
    enhanced (around 25-30 kt) and sufficient destabilization is
    anticipated downstream. A surface cold front over the OH Valley will
    likely serve as a northern delimiter to any appreciable severe
    threat Wednesday afternoon.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible in
    the Mid-Atlantic states on Thursday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong mid-level shortwave trough will move from the Upper Great
    Lakes, through the base of a larger scale trough, and into Quebec by
    early Friday morning. A mid-level anticyclone centered over the
    Great Basin will influence conditions over the West. In the low
    levels, a front will stall and advance northward as a warm front
    across parts of the Northeast, ahead of a cold front forecast to
    sweep eastward through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast during
    the period.

    ...Central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic states...
    Model guidance continues to show a lower-latitude disturbance moving
    from the upper TN Valley east-northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic
    states by late afternoon. With a very moist airmass located from
    KY/TN northeastward into PA/NJ south of the stalled front, showers
    and thunderstorms may be ongoing early Thursday morning across KY.
    Cloud breaks ahead of this convection will lead to weak/moderate destabilization despite relatively warm 500 mb temperatures and
    modest mid-level lapse rates. Scattered thunderstorm development
    will likely occur over the central Appalachians during the midday
    before spreading downstream towards the I-95 corridor during the afternoon/early evening. In tandem with the diurnal storm
    development, flow fields within the 700-500 mb layer will strengthen
    during the day (30-40 kt at 700 mb increasing to 40-50 kt at 500 mb)
    and elongate hodographs. A mixed mode of strong to severe
    clusters/linear segments plus supercells is likely. Scattered
    damaging gusts and a few tornadoes are possible. The tornado risk
    will continue to be re-evaluated at later outlooks but the potential
    for several supercells appears greatest in the MD/northern VA
    vicinity during the afternoon. This activity will likely weaken
    during the evening as it moves towards the coast but some risk may
    continue well after dark.

    ...Hudson Valley into southern New England...
    A warm front is forecast to advance northward into the southern half
    of NY and southern New England during the day. Aside from warm
    advection, it appears the primary forcing for ascent for storm
    development will delay until after dark. Isolated to widely
    scattered thunderstorms are possible within an increasingly moist
    airmass ahead of the approaching cold front. Isolated damaging
    gusts may accompany the stronger storms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Friday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A large-scale upper cyclone will persist Friday across the Upper
    Midwest into the Northeast and eastern Canada while moving slowly
    eastward. Upper-level ridging will remain over much of the western
    CONUS and parts of the Southeast. At the surface, a weak cold front
    is forecast to move generally southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic
    into the Southeast, lower MS Valley, and southern Plains through the
    period. This front, along with multiple MCVs from prior convection
    across TX, should be a focus for isolated to scattered thunderstorm
    development through Friday afternoon. Stronger mid-level flow
    associated with the upper trough is expected to remain mostly
    displaced to the north of the cold front, and any storms that form
    along/south of this front are expected to remain rather disorganized
    owing to weak deep-layer shear.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHERN
    MINNESOTA AND NORTHERN IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over
    southern Minnesota and Iowa Saturday night.

    ...MN/IA vicinity...
    A plume of steep mid-level lapse rates emanating from the northern
    periphery of a mid-level anticyclone centered over UT/AZ, will
    overspread the Dakotas into the Corn Belt on Saturday and Saturday
    night. A mid-level disturbance is forecast to rapidly move from MT east-southeastward into IA by daybreak Sunday. As this occurs,
    surface low pressure will develop over the Dakotas and a warm front
    over the central Great Plains will advance north/northeast.

    Model output is consistent in depicting southerly low-level flow
    advecting richer moisture northward into the lower to mid MO Valley
    with mid 60s reaching western IA by late evening. Strengthening
    warm air advection aided by a developing southwesterly 45-kt LLJ
    after dark will likely lead to scattered elevated thunderstorms
    developing during the evening in eastern SD/southwestern MN with
    increasing thunderstorm coverage in the form of a cluster and/or MCS
    spreading east-southeast. The eastern periphery of a plume of steep
    700-500 mb lapse rates (8-9 deg C/km) and strong effective shear may
    favor large hail with the stronger elevated cores. An isolated
    damaging gust may also occur given the presence of steep lapse rates
    and the possibility for an organized thunderstorm cluster to
    develop.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN IOWA
    TO THE SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from parts
    of the mid Mississippi Valley eastward into the central Great Lakes
    on Sunday and Sunday night. Damaging gusts and large hail are the
    primary hazards.

    ...IA eastward into Lower MI...
    Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing from southeast MN southeastward into IA/WI and perhaps northern IL on Sunday morning
    in association with elevated, warm-advection thunderstorms on the
    nose of a strong southwesterly LLJ. The early day activity may pose
    an isolated risk for large hail or a localized threat for damaging
    gusts before weakening by late morning. The mid-level disturbance
    responsible for the morning thunderstorms is forecast to move
    quickly east across the southern Great Lakes. A warm front will
    advance northeastward across Lower MI during the day but residual
    convection will outrun the destabilizing warm sector located farther
    southwest.

    Models continue to show an amplifying mid-level shortwave trough
    over south-central Canada as a surface low deepens over western
    Ontario. By the early evening, weak mid-level height falls will
    gradually overspread the Upper Midwest the western Great Lakes as a
    cold front sharpens and pushes southeastward into the mid MS Valley.
    It appears increasingly plausible that scattered thunderstorms will
    develop from eastern IA across southern WI and northern IL during
    the evening. Steep mid-level lapse rates and a strengthening low-
    to mid-level wind profile will favor organized thunderstorms.
    Isolated severe gusts resulting in scattered wind damage and large
    hail are possible with the stronger thunderstorms and bowing
    segments. Farther east/northeast, weaker instability (MUCAPE 1000
    J/kg or less) may temper the overall severe risk. Yet, the strong
    flow fields in the presence of thunderstorms may yield a risk for
    damaging gusts.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MIDDLE
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible from
    Illinois into the lower Great Lakes during the afternoon Monday and
    in parts of the middle Mississippi Valley Monday evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    A belt of strong cyclonic mid-level flow over the north-central U.S.
    and southern Canada will feature a departing disturbance over
    Ontario into Quebec and an amplifying trough over the northern
    Rockies into the eastern Great Basin. In the low levels, a cold
    front associated with the northern Great Lakes disturbance will
    extend west-southwestward through the mid MS Valley and become
    stationary, while an arctic cold front sweeps southward through
    the central High Plains late.

    Models continue to indicate isolated thunderstorms being possible
    during the day along the trailing portion of the boundary from the
    lower Great Lakes westward into IL. Although storm coverage will
    probably remain isolated with one or two widely spaced clusters and
    weak to negligible upper forcing for ascent, the airmass will
    destabilize during the afternoon and conditionally support an
    isolated strong to severe risk.

    Farther west over the lower MO Valley, strengthening warm air
    advection by early evening will likely lead to isolated
    thunderstorms developing near the surface boundary. Storm coverage
    will probably increase during the evening near the boundary before
    preferential development occurs north of the surface front within
    strengthening 850 mb warm air advection from northern MO into
    adjacent parts of IA/western IL. The primary risks with the
    stronger storms during the evening will be isolated large
    hail/damaging gusts due to the steep 700-500 mb lapse rates and
    strong effective shear.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSOURI/MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible from
    Illinois into the lower Great Lakes Monday afternoon, and in parts
    of the middle Mississippi Valley Monday evening.

    ...Synopsis...

    A broad upper level trough stretching from the northern Rockies to
    the Great Lakes will be in place early Monday. An upper low near
    James Bay and attendant shortwave trough embedded in the
    larger-scale trough will develop east/northeast across Quebec.
    Meanwhile, a second, intense shortwave trough will dig southward
    across the northern Rockies and Great Basin. At the surface, low
    pressure vertically stacked beneath the James Bay upper low will
    slowly pivot north/northeast through the period. A surface cold
    front will surge eastward early in the period across lower MI.
    However, as the surface low pivots further north/northeast, the
    front will stall, and remain draped across parts of OH/IN/IL,
    westward through northern MO/KS. The front will become a focus for
    thunderstorm development across portions of the Midwest into the
    lower Great Lakes vicinity during the afternoon and evening.

    ...IL/IN to the Lower Great Lakes through Monday evening...

    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
    near the surface cold front from near Lakes Ontario and Erie into
    parts of northern OH/IN. This activity should increase and spread east/southeast through peak heating from western NY/PA into
    central/southern OH/IN, and possibly parts of central/southern IL. A
    corridor of 60s F surface dewpoints will reside ahead of the front.
    Surface heating will be strongest across the Mid-MS/lower OH Valley
    vicinity, with cooler temperatures expected northeastward into the
    lower Great Lakes vicinity. MLCAPE values around 1500-2500 J/kg are
    forecast where greater heating occurs, decreasing to around 250-1000
    J/kg across parts of OH into western PA/NY. Effective shear will
    remain modest, around 25-35 kt, but adequate for organized clusters.
    Gusty winds and near-1 inch hail will be possible with the strongest
    storms. Low level winds will remain weak, and deep layer winds
    largely parallel to the frontal boundary, which should limit tornado
    potential. However, a corridor may exist during the afternoon across
    parts of IL/IN where some guidance suggests backing low level winds
    ahead of the front resulting in enlarged, albeit still modest, low
    level hodographs. Given an overlap of favorable low level moisture
    and instability, a tornado or two can not be ruled out.

    ...Lower MO/mid-MS Valley Monday evening and overnight...

    Convection will likely be suppressed much of the day until stronger
    forcing arrives ahead of the western upper shortwave trough and
    intense southward-advancing Plains cold front. In response to these
    features, a strong southerly low level jet will develop Monday
    evening over the southern Plains and Lower Missouri Valley. This
    should initiate thunderstorms along the surface boundary, with deep
    layer flow resulting in convection remaining on the cool side of the
    boundary, and elevated. Nevertheless, moderate instability and steep
    midlevel lapse rates will be in place amid strong vertical shear.
    Some initial elevated supercells are possible, but storm mode should
    generally be clusters. Isolated large hail and gusty winds could
    occur with the strongest cells from far southeast NE/northeast KS
    into MO/IA and IL through the overnight hours.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
    Wednesday through Wednesday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that blocking will remain prominent within the
    mid/upper flow across the eastern Pacific into the western U.S.
    through this period, although some weakening of the mid-level high
    centered to the west of the Pacific Northwest coast may commence.
    Little movement of flanking closed lows is forecast, including the
    one centered to the northwest of the Four Corners.

    To the north of this regime, broad ridging within the mid-latitude
    westerlies will persist from the Gulf of Alaska vicinity into the
    Canadian Prairies. The base of broadening downstream troughing may
    shift from the north central Canadian/U.S. border vicinity to the north/northeast of the Great Lakes region.

    Meanwhile, the western flank of a prominent mid-level ridge,
    centered over the mid-latitude/subtropical western Atlantic, likely
    will maintain considerable influence over much of the southeastern
    quarter of the nation.

    In lower levels, a weak easterly wave may gradually migrate into and
    across southern and mid Atlantic coastal areas. This will be
    accompanied by continued lower/mid tropospheric moistening and areas
    of convection. However, due to weak mid-level lapse rates,
    thermodynamic profiles supportive of activity capable of producing
    lightning may be generally confined to the coastal plain, where
    there appears the best chance for substantive boundary-layer warming
    and destabilization.

    Otherwise, low/mid-level moisture and instability above the stalling
    surface frontal zone, associated the ongoing cold intrusion to the
    lee of the Rockies, appears to provide the primary focus for
    scattered, generally weak thunderstorm development Wednesday through
    Wednesday night. Moderately large mixed-layer CAPE may develop by
    late afternoon along/ahead of the frontal zone across parts of Texas
    (roughly along the I-35 corridor into the Hill Country), near the
    eastern periphery of broadly cyclonic mid-level flow associated with
    the upstream mid-level closed low. While an isolated strong to
    severe storm or two in this environment may not be completely out of
    the question, it still appears a low enough risk at this time to
    maintain less than 5 percent severe probabilities.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the
    U.S., Thursday through Thursday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that blocking will persist within the large-scale
    pattern across the eastern Pacific into western North America.
    However, it appears that the prominent mid-level high, centered to
    the west of the Pacific Northwest coast, may begin a more
    substantive weakening during this period, while a low to its
    southeast begins a northeastward acceleration out of the eastern
    Great Basin.

    It appears that this will occur as a series of short wave
    perturbations continue accelerating east-southeastward within a belt
    of westerlies across southern Alaska and the Gulf of Alaska, through
    northern portions of British Columbia and the Canadian Prairie
    provinces. Farther downstream, another couple of perturbations are
    forecast to rapidly progress across southern Ontario and Quebec
    through the Canadian Maritimes.

    At the same time, mid-level subtropical ridging probably will
    maintain an influence across a large portion of the southeastern
    U.S.

    In response to these developments, in lower levels, cold surface
    ridging likely will remain entrenched across much of the Great
    Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. While the frontal
    zone on its shallow leading edge gradually begins to weaken across
    the southeastern Great Plains/lower Missouri Valley vicinity, the
    front is expected to surge southeast of the lower Great Lakes/St.
    Lawrence Valley region through much of the Northeast by 12Z Friday.

    A plume of seasonably high precipitable water likely will be
    maintained across much of the southern through mid Atlantic Coast
    region, while gradually spreading westward across the eastern Gulf
    states. A southerly return flow is also expected to maintain a
    moist air mass above the shallow, cool surface-based air mass across
    much of the southern and central Great Plains. This moisture may
    continue to advect northward toward the northern Great Plains by
    Thursday night, ahead of the northeastward accelerating closed low.

    ...Eastern U.S...
    Perturbations within weak mid/upper flow, mainly near/east of the
    Appalachians through southern New England, are expected to
    contribute to scattered thunderstorm activity in the presence of
    weak to moderate CAPE Thursday. A few thunderstorms may also
    develop in a corridor along the surface front across parts of
    Upstate New York into northern New England Thursday afternoon.
    However, weaker instability along the frontal zone currently appears
    likely to minimize any severe weather potential, despite the likely
    presence of at least marginally sufficient deep-layer shear for
    organized convective development.

    ...Great Plains...
    Higher low-level moisture content and larger CAPE may be confined to
    a relatively narrow corridor near the shallow leading edge of the
    cold surface-based air, across parts of eastern Texas into
    southwestern Missouri by late Thursday afternoon. Although
    mid/upper support for thunderstorm development may remain weak, this destabilization may become supportive of scattered thunderstorm
    development through Thursday evening.

    Otherwise, although elevated instability likely will be much weaker
    to the west/northwest, forcing for ascent ahead of the northeastward
    migrating low and trailing trough axis may contribute to a corridor
    of thunderstorm development across parts of west Texas, and perhaps
    central Oklahoma into southeastern Kansas, Thursday night.

    Additional elevated thunderstorm development appears possible to the
    northeast of the mid-level low, across parts of the mid Missouri
    Valley vicinity by 12Z Friday.

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
    Friday through Friday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Stronger westerlies will generally remain confined to latitudes
    north of the Canadian/U.S. border, particularly after one embedded
    short wave perturbation accelerates across and east of northern New
    England and the Canadian Maritimes during the day Friday. In its
    wake, broad ridging will overspread Ontario and Quebec, ahead of a
    low amplitude short wave trough forecast to turn eastward across
    northern portions of the Canadian Prairie provinces. As a number of
    trailing perturbations accelerate into increasingly confluent flow
    across western Canada and adjacent portions of the northeast
    Pacific, it appears that there will be considerable further
    suppression and southeastward migration of a remnant blocking
    mid-level high across the Pacific Northwest.

    While models indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will linger
    across the Pacific Coast states, a mid-level low emerging from the
    eastern Great Basin may continue to gradually accelerate
    east-northeastward across north central portions of the U.S. Great
    Plains. Guidance suggests that the low may undergo appreciable
    deepening, however surface development will be slowed/suppressed by
    relatively cold and stable surface-based air to the lee of the
    Rockies.

    Cold surface ridging likely will be entrenched across much of the
    Great Plains, Upper Midwest, Great Lakes region and Northeast at the
    outset of the period. It appears that this air mass will advance
    southward across the southern New England and northern Mid Atlantic
    coast early in the period, while also nosing southward to the lee of
    the central Appalachians. A gradual modification and erosion of
    this air mass may proceed across the Great Plains, but a
    well-defined frontal zone likely will linger across the middle
    Mississippi Valley and Ozark Plateau into the northwest Gulf coast
    vicinity, as well as across the lower Ohio Valley.

    South/southeast of the cold surface-based air, boundary-layer
    moisture content may continue to increase to seasonably high levels
    across much of the Southeast. A moist southerly return flow is also
    expected to continue above the shallow cold air, across the
    southeastern Great Plains into the Upper Midwest.

    ...Southeast...
    Deep-layer moistening, supportive of scattered thunderstorm activity
    with daytime heating, may largely be confined to portions of the
    Gulf coastal plain and coastal plain into piedmont of the
    southern/middle Atlantic Coast states Friday through Friday evening.
    While boundary-layer CAPE may become moderately large, weak lapse
    rates and deep-layer mean flow/shear appear likely to result in
    negligible severe weather potential.

    ...Eastern Great Plains into Upper Midwest...
    Stronger lower/mid-tropospheric wind fields and forcing for ascent
    associated with the progressive mid-level low/trough will, at least
    initially, remain displaced to the cool side (northwest) of the
    surface frontal zone. However, weak to modest CAPE rooted above the
    boundary layer is expected to become supportive of increasing
    thunderstorm development, particularly late Friday afternoon through
    Friday night across parts of Missouri and Iowa into the Upper
    Midwest. Late Friday night, surface-based or near surface-based destabilization might not be completely out of the question roughly
    along the Mississippi River between St. Louis, MO and Dubuque, IA,
    in the presence of strengthening low-level and deep-layer shear.
    This could be accompanied by some increase in severe weather
    potential. However, at this time, this potential still appears low
    enough that severe probabilities will be maintained at less than 5
    percent.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF INDIANA...SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AND NORTHWEST OHIO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong to locally severe thunderstorms may produce
    locally damaging wind gusts from late Saturday afternoon into
    Saturday night across portions of Indiana, lower Michigan, and Ohio.

    ...Southern Lower MI...Northern IN and Northwest OH...

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Mid-South to the Ohio Valley...
    An upper level shortwave trough embedded in a larger-scale trough
    will quickly develop east/northeast from the upper Great Lakes
    through the northeastern U.S. by Sunday evening. At the surface, a
    cold front will extend from western Ohio southwestward into the
    Ozark Plateau vicinity Sunday morning. The front will develop
    east/southeast through the period, becoming oriented near the New
    England coast, then southwestward toward the Mid-South and northern
    Texas by Monday morning. Showers and thunderstorms are expected
    ahead of the front from KY/TN northeastward into western PA/NY where
    a corridor of 60s F surface dewpoints will reside. However, overall destabilization will be limited by poor midlevel lapse rates.
    Widespread cloud cover and ongoing showers/storms at the beginning
    of the period will further limit instability from the Ohio Valley northeastward. Despite modest instability, 30-35 kt effective shear
    will exist from parts of OH northeastward and a loosely organized
    cluster could produce some gusty, but sub-severe, winds.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Sunday.

    ...Mid-South to the Ohio Valley and Northeast...
    A shortwave trough over the Great Lakes is forecast to move across
    the Northeast, southern Ontario, and Quebec on Sunday. At the
    surface, a related cold front is also expected to develop
    east-southeastward across parts of the Mid-South into the OH Valley
    and western portions of the Mid-Atlantic. Fairly numerous showers
    and thunderstorms should be ongoing Sunday morning over much of the
    OH Valley to the Mid-South along/ahead of the front. Widespread
    cloudiness associated with this morning precipitation coupled with
    poor mid-level lapse rates will likely limit diurnal destabilization
    ahead of the front across these regions Sunday afternoon. The
    stronger flow aloft associated with the shortwave trough should also
    gradually shift northeastward and away from the OH Valley through
    the day. The potential for organized severe storms appears too
    limited to include any wind probabilities at this time.

    ...Florida to the Central Gulf Coast...
    Tropical Depression 19 is forecast by the National Hurricane Center
    to strengthen to a Tropical Storm in the Day 1/Saturday time frame
    as it moves west-northwestward over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
    Latest forecast track for this system should keep its enhanced
    low-level winds off the FL Gulf Coast on Sunday. Although mesoscale
    low-level convergence through the day may result in arcing bands of
    storms across the FL Peninsula into parts of the adjacent central
    Gulf Coast through Sunday afternoon, forecast low/mid-level wind
    profiles across these areas do not appear overly favorable for
    organized severe convection.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper ridge will envelop much of the CONUS west of the
    Mississippi River on Monday, while an upper trough develops
    east/northeastward across portions of the lower Great Lakes and New
    England. Surface high pressure over the upper Great Lakes will
    spread eastward toward the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, confining
    richer boundary-layer moisture to the southeastern U.S. due to north/northeasterly continental trajectories. Modest midlevel
    moisture and midlevel lapse rates will result in diurnal
    destabilization across parts of the southwestern U.S., and isolated thunderstorms will be possible.

    Otherwise, additional thunderstorm activity will be confined to the
    Southeast. Some of this activity will be associated with arcing
    bands of thunderstorms developing well north of, but influenced by,
    Tropical Storm Sally. Most of this activity will be driven by
    low-level convergence as Sally slowly shifts west/northwest across
    the northern Gulf of Mexico, approaching the mouth of the
    Mississippi River by the end of the period, per the latest National
    Hurricane Center track forecast. While low-level winds will
    strengthen across the central Gulf Coast with the approach of the
    system, forecast hodographs appear unfavorable for tropical
    cyclone-related tornado activity, precluding probabilities at this
    time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple tornadoes may occur Monday night into early Tuesday morning
    across parts of the central Gulf Coast in association with Tropical
    Cyclone Sally.

    ...Central Gulf Coast...
    Tropical Storm Sally is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to
    continue moving west-northwestward across the Gulf of Mexico through
    much of Monday. Some of the latest convection-allowing model
    guidance has a larger wind field for Sally by Monday, and enhanced
    low-level east-southeasterly winds may overspread parts of coastal
    AL and the FL Panhandle by Monday afternoon. There appears to be
    sufficient low-level shear (0-1 km SRH around 100-200 m2/s2) for
    rotating updrafts with any storms that can form in outer rain bands.
    A tornado or two appears possible across these areas, along with
    isolated strong wind gusts from thunderstorms. Still, weak
    instability should keep the overall severe threat isolated/marginal.

    Sally should turn more northward late Monday into early Tuesday
    morning per latest NHC forecast track. The eastern half of Sally's
    circulation may overspread parts of coastal southeastern LA and MS
    late in the period, although uncertainty in both the forward speed
    and track of Sally remain apparent in both global and
    convection-allowing model guidance. An increase in low-level
    east-southeasterly winds and corresponding low-level shear will
    probably foster some tornado threat across these areas, mainly late
    Monday night through the end of the period. Given the continued
    uncertainty in Sally's track and the limited forecast instability,
    opted to include only low tornado and severe wind probabilities at
    this time.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes may occur Tuesday and Tuesday night across portions
    of the central Gulf Coast in association with Hurricane Sally.

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

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A threat for tornadoes and damaging wind gusts associated with
    Tropical Cyclone Sally will exist from Georgia into the Carolinas.
    Potential for strong wind gusts also exists Thursday afternoon and
    evening across western Oregon and far southwest Washington.

    ...Georgia into the Mid-Atlantic...
    Predominantly weak flow aloft will persist across the southern half
    of the CONUS Thursday with high pressure remaining in place over the
    Four Corners region and modest mid-level trough moving slowly
    southeastward over the southern Plains. The only exception to this
    weak flow over the southern CONUS is in the vicinity of TC Sally.
    Sally is forecast to begin the Day 2 period as a tropical depression
    near the central AL/GA border before continuing northeastward across
    central GA into SC.

    Strong low to mid-level flow will persist throughout the eastern
    periphery of the system, spreading from GA across the Carolinas.
    This will result in a kinematic space favorable for tornadogenesis.
    Primary concerns, as is typical with tropical systems, is the degree
    of destabilization and storm mode. Faster motion of the system
    suggests there may be more opportunity for increased cellular
    convection ahead of the system while still maintaining well-formed
    rainbands. This will result in a greater opportunity for more
    persistent updrafts to realize the strong low-level vertical shear. Additionally, low to mid 70s dewpoints will likely be in place ahead
    of the main convective bands associated with Sally. This ample
    low-level moisture will support modest buoyancy, despite the poor
    lapse rates associated with the tropical air mass. As such, the
    overall parameter space appears supportive of tornadoes throughout
    much of Day 2, including overnight Thursday into early Friday
    morning across the Carolinas.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    Farther northwest, an upper low will begin the day centered off the
    Pacific Northwest coast. A strong shortwave trough is forecast to
    progress through the base of this low, reaching the southern
    OR/northern CA coast during the early afternoon. Increased mid-level
    moisture associated with this shortwave trough will result in modest
    elevated instability, primarily across portions of OR west of the
    Cascades. The strong forcing for ascent attendant to this shortwave
    coupled with the modest instability is expected to result in
    thunderstorm development between 21Z and 00Z.

    While much of the environment only support elevated storms,
    potential for a few surface-based storms does exist during the brief
    window before low-level nocturnal stabilization begins. In either
    case, the resulting storms are expected to move quickly northward/north-northeastward during the evening. Given the strength
    of the vertical shear and progressive forcing for ascent, strong
    gusty winds could accompany these storms.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are not currently expected across the
    contiguous United States on Saturday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper pattern is expected to be relatively progressive on Saturday
    as the trough/ridge/trough orientation shifts eastward. The western
    upper trough is forecast to extend south-central BC into the western
    Great Basin early Saturday before continuing eastward/northward
    throughout the day, reaching the northern High Plains by the end of
    the period. Cooler mid-level temperatures, increased mid-level
    moisture, and persistent forcing for ascent associated with this
    upper trough will contribute to isolated thunderstorms from the northern/central Rockies into the northern High Plains. Majority of
    this activity is expected to be displaced north of the stronger
    mid-level flow, limiting vertical shear and likely precluding severe thunderstorm development.

    Upper troughing will spread across the Plains ahead of the western
    trough while the eastern troughing gradually drifts eastward,
    deepening late in the period as shortwave trough moves through its
    base over the Upper Great Lakes.

    Surface pattern across much of the eastern CONUS will be dominated
    by an expansive area of high pressure. Lee troughing is anticipated
    across the northern and central High Plains ahead of the approaching
    western CONUS trough, but limited low-level moisture should temper
    any thunderstorm potential.

    Isolated thunderstorms also appear possible across parts of the FL
    Peninsula, ahead of a weakening frontal zone, and along portions of
    the Gulf Coast, associated with deepening Tropical Depression 22.

    ...SUMMARY...
    The severe potential associated with Tropical Storm Beta over the
    western Gulf of Mexico appears too limited to include low severe
    probabilities for Sunday across any portion of coastal Texas.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Tropical Storm Beta is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to
    remain over the western Gulf of Mexico Sunday while moving slowly
    westward and strengthening into a hurricane. Latest deterministic
    guidance remains in general agreement with this scenario, but
    considerable uncertainty still exists regarding how close Beta will
    approach the TX Coast, particularly Sunday night. Low-level
    east-northeasterly winds will probably increase across some portion
    of this region through the period, with a corresponding increase in
    low-level shear. However, greater low-level moisture associated with
    this system will likely remain over the Gulf and to the south of a
    remnant surface front, limiting inland destabilization. No severe
    probabilities have been included across coastal TX given these
    uncertainties and potentially limiting factors.

    Farther north, an upper trough is forecast to move northeastward
    from the northern Plains across parts of the Upper Midwest and into
    central Canada though the period. Isolated thunderstorms may occur
    Sunday across these areas along/ahead of an eastward-moving cold
    front. Although steep mid-level level lapse rates will be present
    across the warm sector, limited low-level moisture will likely keep
    instability rather weak. Overall thunderstorm coverage is also
    uncertain, as a low-level inversion may hinder convective
    initiation.

    Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to remain quite low on
    Sunday. It still appears as if any severe threat associated with
    Tropical Storm Beta will remain offshore through Monday morning.

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS COAST AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for strong/gusty thunderstorm winds and perhaps a
    tornado or two may exist across parts of the middle/upper Texas
    Coast and a small portion of coastal Louisiana on Monday in
    association with Tropical Storm Beta.

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    THE MIDDLE AND UPPER COASTS OF TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN
    LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for strong/gusty thunderstorm winds and perhaps a
    tornado or two may exist across parts of the middle/upper Texas
    Coast and a small portion of coastal Louisiana on Monday in
    association with Tropical Storm Beta.

    ...Coastal Texas/Louisiana...
    The latest forecast by the National Hurricane Center shows Tropical
    Storm Beta approaching the middle TX Coast on Monday, perhaps making
    landfall sometime Monday night. It seems likely that at least mid
    70s F surface dewpoints will spread inland across parts of the
    middle/upper TX Coast and far southwestern LA through the
    period. Low-level shear is forecast to strengthen especially over
    the Upper Coast of TX into southwest LA. It is plausible a few
    transient supercells may develop and potentially be capable of
    strong/gusty winds and perhaps a brief tornado or two.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST TEXAS
    INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for a brief/weak tornado may develop Tuesday for
    parts of the upper Texas Coast into coastal Louisiana in association
    with Tropical Cyclone Beta.

    ...Coastal Southeastern Texas into Southern Louisiana...
    Tropical Storm Beta is currently forecast by the National Hurricane
    Center to be near the middle TX Coast early Tuesday morning and
    drift slowly northeastward along the coast while weakening. Model
    guidance shows modest low-level shear (primarily before the late
    afternoon) co-located with low to mid 70s surface dewpoints.
    Forecast hodographs correspondingly are forecast to be largest
    during the morning before gradually reducing in size during the
    afternoon into the evening. Effective shear near 25 kt may support
    transient storm organization. A weak spout associated with
    nonsupercell convection or a brief/weak tornado with a marginal
    supercell cannot be ruled out near the Upper Coast of TX and
    southwestern LA. The risk will likely diminish late in the day and
    into Tuesday night.

    ...North Dakota...
    A shortwave trough embedded within mid-level westerly flow is
    forecast to move eastward along the U.S./Canada border from the
    Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains through the period.
    Low-level moisture is forecast to remain quite meager ahead of this
    feature until it reaches the vicinity of ND late Tuesday night,
    where upper 40s to perhaps low/mid 50s surface dewpoints may be
    present. A modest southerly low-level jet along with a
    southeastward-surging cold front may aid convective initiation late
    Tuesday night across northern ND into south-central Canada. Steep
    mid-level lapse rates should also be present over this region, and
    potential exists for mainly elevated storms to produce some hail
    given the forecast combination of weak to locally moderate
    instability and strong deep-layer shear. Regardless, will continue
    to defer inclusion of any severe probabilities across northern ND,
    as latest guidance differs on both the degree of low-level moisture
    present and overall storm coverage.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF EAST CENTRAL/NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA AND ADJACENT NORTHWESTERN
    WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms may occur Wednesday evening across
    parts of northeastern Minnesota and into northwestern Wisconsin.
    Large hail should be the main threat, along with potential for a
    strong gust or two.

    ...Synopsis...
    Weak flow aloft will prevail over roughly the southern 2/3 of the
    CONUS this period, with T.D. Beta -- moving slowly northeastward
    across east Texas and Louisiana through the period -- the primary
    feature of interest. Please refer to the latest forecast
    information from the National Hurricane Center, regarding T.D. Beta.

    Farther north, a short-wave trough will advance steadily eastward
    across the north-central portion of the country, ahead of a
    larger/stronger trough over the Gulf of Alaska. A short-wave piece
    of the larger trough is forecast to shift inland into the Pacific
    Northwest overnight.

    At the surface, a cold front is forecast to advance across the
    northwestern states ahead of the aforementioned trough, while a
    weaker low lingers in the vicinity of the mid Missouri Valley. A
    warm front extending east-northeastward from this low to the Lake
    Superior vicinity may focus a small area of strong to severe storms
    during the second half of the period.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley region...
    Isolated evening thunderstorms are expected to develop across
    portions of east central and northeastern Minnesota, and then spread
    into northwestern Wisconsin overnight, near a warm-frontal boundary
    forecast to extend east-northeastward across this area, east of a
    weak mid Missouri Valley surface low.

    Though westerly mid-level flow near 40 kt across the area suggests
    shear sufficient for organized storms, modest CAPE is expected,
    which should hinder overall storm intensity/severe potential. Thus,
    will maintain only 5%/MRGL risk for hail, and possibly and stronger
    wind gust or two.

    ...Louisiana vicinity...
    As Beta drifts slowly northeastward across the Sabine River Valley
    area, bands of convection will continue spreading across the lower
    Mississippi River Valley area. Widespread clouds should largely
    hinder potential for any appreciable heating/destabilization, and
    thus expect convection to remain weak. Though low-level shear is
    expected to be sufficient for some low-level rotation in any
    stronger/sustained convective cell, risk for a brief/weak tornado
    appears too low at this time to warrant introduction of a 2% tornado probability/MRGL categorical risk area.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms may occur Thursday across parts of
    Mississippi into southern/central Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
    Damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado or two will be the main
    threats.

    ...Synopsis...
    Weak flow aloft is forecast across the southern half of the U.S.
    Thursday, with the faster/more active belt of westerlies to remain
    over the northern half of the country through the period.

    Mid-level remnants of tropical system Beta, and a short-wave trough
    moving across the Great Lakes region, are forecast to gradually
    merge across the northeastern quarter of the country. Meanwhile, as
    a short-wave trough moves across the northwestern states and
    Canadian Rockies, an accompanying westerly mid-level jet will expand
    across the northwestern and eventually north-central portions of the
    CONUS.

    At the surface, the remnant low that was Beta will weaken with time
    as it crosses Mississippi and later moves into the Tennessee Valley
    region. Meanwhile, a low over the upper Midwest will likewise
    weaken with time, as a cold front crosses the northwestern quarter
    of the country and eventually shifts into the Dakotas/Nebraska
    overnight.

    ...Parts of Mississippi into Alabama and the Florida Panhandle...
    Though remnant tropical system Beta is expected to continue
    weakening as it shifts slowly northeastward across the central Gulf
    Coast states, southerly winds ahead of the system will advect rich
    Gulf moisture northward into this area. Despite the moist low
    levels, any diurnal heating will be at least partially offset by
    weak lapse rates aloft, thus yielding only modest CAPE. Still,
    given veering flow with height east and southeast of the remnant
    low, shear may be sufficient to support a couple of stronger storms,
    and associated/low-probability potential for locally gusty winds --
    and possibly a brief tornado or two -- mainly during the first half
    of the period.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE SOUTHEAST...AND OVER PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN UPPER GREAT
    LAKES REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Friday across
    parts of the Southeast, and later over a portion of the western
    Upper Great Lakes area.

    ...Synopsis...
    While weak flow aloft will continue to prevail across the southern
    half of the country, fast/weakly cyclonic westerly flow over the
    northern Rockies/northern Plains will expand gradually eastward
    across the upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes area. Within this fast
    belt of flow, several embedded vorticity maxima will traverse the
    northern tier of the CONUS. Farther south, a short-wave trough over
    the Ohio Valley and Mid South region will cross the Appalachians and
    move into the Southeast states through the period.

    At the surface, a cold front is forecast to shift gradually eastward/southeastward across the north-central U.S. with time, and
    should extend from the Upper Great Lakes to the Colorado Front Range
    by Saturday morning. Elsewhere, a very weak/remnant low is forecast
    to drift from Tennessee to the Carolinas through the period.

    ...The Southeast...
    Modest heating over the Southeast during the day, combined with a
    moist low-level airmass ahead of a very weak Mid South/southern
    Appalachians remnant of tropical system Beta, will permit bands of
    showers and thunderstorms to increase through the day, spreading
    across Georgia and the Carolinas with time. With ample low-level
    veering of the flow with height to persist, and some enhancement to
    the mid-level westerlies in conjunction with short-wave trough
    aloft, a few stronger/organized updrafts will likely evolve with
    time. Along with potential for locally gusty winds capable of
    mainly tree damage, a brief tornadic spin-up or two will also be
    possible across this region.

    ...Northern Wisconsin and western Upper Michigan...
    The eastward advance of a surface cold front, and associated upper
    short-wave troughing, across the upper Mississippi Valley during the afternoon/evening may support isolated convective development in the northwestern Wisconsin/western Lake Superior vicinity by early
    evening, while capping is expected to largely suppress convective
    development with southwestward extent along the cold front.

    Where any storm can develop, modest CAPE and sufficient shear
    suggest potential for updraft intensification -- warranting mention
    of local risk for gusty winds and/or hail -- mainly during the
    evening hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE UPPER MIDWEST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms strong enough to produce occasional hail are
    possible across portions of the Upper Midwest Saturday evening into
    early Sunday morning.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Broad upper troughing is forecast to be in place across the northern
    CONUS early Saturday morning before deepening/amplifying throughout
    the day. Lead shortwave trough embedded within this upper troughing
    is expected to progress from the northern High Plains eastward
    across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. An associated surface
    low will move just ahead of the shortwave while an attendant cold
    front sweeps across the northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest.
    Mid 60s dewpoints and steep mid-level lapse rates will be in place
    ahead of this front, but warm and dry mid-levels will result in
    substantial convective inhibition across much of the region
    (particularly with southern extent into the Mid MS Valley).
    Consequently, surface-based, warm-sector storms are unlikely.
    However, robust warm-air advection associated with strong low-level southwesterly flow may result in scattered elevated thunderstorms
    north of the warm front (i.e. over northern WI and Upper MI)
    Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Buoyancy will be limited
    but strong vertical shear could still result in a few updrafts
    strong enough to produce hail.

    ...Elsewhere...
    Scattered thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across eastern VA and
    the Carolinas Saturday morning, ahead of a compact shortwave trough
    forecast to continue eastward off the central East Coast by Saturday
    afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN
    PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...OZARK PLATEAU...AND LOWER MO
    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible late Sunday afternoon
    through Sunday evening across northern portions of the southern
    Plains and adjacent Ozark Plateau.

    ...Synopsis...
    Overall upper pattern is expected to amplify significantly on Sunday
    as troughing deepens across the central CONUS and ridging builds
    over the western CONUS. The central CONUS deepening will be induced
    primarily by the progression of a strong shortwave trough from the
    northern Rockies into the central Plains. A cold front will begin
    the period extending southwestward from a low over south-central
    Ontario to another low in the central TX Panhandle.
    Evolution of the previously mentioned shortwave trough (and
    accompanying cold air in its wake) will result in the
    southward/southeastward surge of this front, taking it through the
    mid MS Valley and majority of the southern Plains by early Monday
    morning.

    Elsewhere, a weak upper low is forecast to be centered over the
    Mid-South early Sunday. This low is expected to transition to an
    open wave while accelerating northeastward over the Southeast and TN
    Valley ahead of amplifying upper trough over the Plains.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau and Lower MO Valley...
    A warm and seasonally moist air mass is expected to be in place
    across the region ahead of the approaching cold front. These warm
    and moist low-levels beneath steep mid-level lapse rates favor
    strong buoyancy. However, warm mid-level temperatures and resulting
    convective inhibition introduce uncertainty regarding convective
    initiation within the open warm sector ahead the front. A more
    likely scenario is for storms to develop along the front, with the
    progressive, fast-moving character of the front then quickly
    undercutting any updrafts. Strengthening low-level southerly flow
    ahead of the front could also lead to additional post-frontal
    development.

    All of these factors point to predominantly elevated storms. The
    vertical shear is expected to be strong enough to support rotation
    within the more robust updrafts, with an attendant threat for
    isolated severe hail. Given the strength of the low-level flow along
    and behind the front, convectively augmented downdrafts could be
    strong enough to result in a damaging wind gust or two.

    ...Southeast GA into Northern FL...
    Shortwave trough moving quickly across the Southeast and TN Valley
    is expected to result in scattered thunderstorms across portions of
    AL, GA, and northern FL. Enhanced mid-level flow throughout the base
    of this shortwave could result in a few more organized storms and
    the potential for isolated damaging wind gusts. Uncertainty
    regarding the speed and strength of the shortwave as well as the
    degree of air mass destabilization results in too much uncertainty
    to introduce any probabilities with this outlook.

    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible late Sunday afternoon
    through Sunday evening across northern portions of the southern

    ...Southern Plains through Ozark Plateau area...

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

    OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER OH VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms capable of isolated damaging wind gusts are possible
    along a cold front as it moves across the Ohio Valley.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A deep upper trough is expected to be in place over the central and
    eastern CONUS early Monday morning before progressing eastward and
    deepening throughout the day. Two distinct circulations will be
    embedded within this upper troughing, one which will gradually move east-northeastward across the Upper Great Lakes and one which move
    southward through the mid MS Valley towards the Mid-South. Farther
    west, upper ridging over the western CONUS is forecast to build
    eastward in the wake of the upper trough, extending from the Pacific
    Northwest into central Mexico by the end of the period.

    At the surface, cold front along the leading edge of the continental
    air mass (associated with the upper trough) will likely extend from southwestern Ontario southwestward into the TX Hill Country early
    Monday morning. Continued eastward/southeastward progression of this
    front is forecast throughout the day, with the front expected to
    extend from a low over the Lower Great Lakes region southwestward
    into the northwestern Gulf of Mexico by Monday evening. Surface
    cyclogenesis is anticipated late Monday night/early Tuesday morning
    along the portion of front across the Southeast, induced by lift
    attendant to previously mentioned embedded upper low.

    Showers and thunderstorms are expected along the length of the
    front, with predominantly anafrontal character to the storms. The
    only exception is across the middle and upper OH Valley, where
    strong flow aloft is expected to more closely align with the surface
    front. As a result, the potential for a few strong, convectively
    augmented gusts exists along the front. Abundant cloud cover and
    limited buoyancy is currently expected, precluding a more widespread
    damaging wind gust potential.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms with isolated damaging wind and a couple
    of tornadoes are possible across the eastern Carolinas into the
    coastal Middle Atlantic Tuesday.

    ...Eastern Carolinas into the coastal Middle Atlantic...

    Synoptic upper trough will undergo significant amplification over
    the eastern states today through early Tuesday with deep layer flow
    becoming increasingly parallel to the accompanying cold front. This
    front should extend from a surface low in southeastern Canada
    through the western Carolinas and into the central Gulf by 12Z
    tomorrow. The front will continue slowly east and off the Atlantic
    Seaboard toward the end of day 2. A significant vorticity maximum is
    forecast to rotate through the base of the synoptic trough then
    northeast into the Carolinas and Middle Atlantic Tuesday night.
    Forcing accompanying this feature will remain mostly in the post
    frontal zone, but will be sufficient to induce a weak cyclone that
    will move from the Carolinas through the Middle Atlantic overnight,
    before reaching the Northeast States late Tuesday night.

    Rich low-level moisture with low 70s F dewpoints will reside in the
    pre-frontal sector, but very weak lapse rates, widespread clouds and
    ongoing areas of showers and storms will limit potential for
    significant destabilization with MLCAPE from 400-800 J/kg possible.
    While a few strong storms with gusty winds might be possible with
    activity developing along and ahead of the front during the day
    given sufficient (40-45 kt) unidirectional shear, the best severe
    threat may be during the evening and overnight when frontogenetic
    forcing and low-level shear increase in association with an
    intensifying southerly low-level jet from the eastern Carolinas into
    the Middle Atlantic. This process may result in the development of a
    more robust line of storms along the cold front with potential for a
    few embedded organized structures capable of damaging wind and
    perhaps a couple of tornadoes. Given an expected marginal
    thermodynamic environment, will maintain MRGL risk category this
    outlook and continue to monitor for a possible SLGT risk upgrade in
    later updates.

    ...Southern New England...

    The stronger frontogenetic forcing might result in development of a
    low-topped line of convection with little to no lightning across
    southern New England late in the period. Though a few strong wind
    gusts cannot be ruled out, will preclude introduction of severe
    probabilities this update given expected very limited instability.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...

    A large-scale upper trough will persist over much of the CONUS east
    of the Rockies on Wednesday. A shortwave trough embedded within this larger-scale system is forecast to extend from the Mid-Atlantic
    vicinity into FL early Wednesday, and lift northeastward through the
    period. A surface cold front attendant to a low over New England and
    Quebec will extend from VT/NH into eastern MA/CT southward to the
    offshore waters along the Atlantic coast before intersecting
    southern FL. Moist and unstable conditions could result in isolated thunderstorms across southern FL, though weak shear and poor
    midlevel lapse rates will preclude severe thunderstorm potential. A
    couple of thunderstorms may be ongoing near Cape Cod for an hour or
    two at the very start of the period, but the cold front will quickly
    shift east and push any activity offshore.

    Otherwise, cold temperatures aloft will result in steep midlevel
    lapse rates across the Great Lakes region, promoting weak
    destabilization during the afternoon/early evening. Weak
    instability, combined with moderate to strong mid/upper flow and
    forcing for ascent streaming across the region as the upper trough
    pivots eastward, could result in a few weak thunderstorms from the
    Lake Michigan vicinity eastward to western NY.

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

    ...Synopsis...

    An amplified upper level pattern will persist across the CONUS on
    Thursday, with a ridge over the western states and a trough over the
    eastern states. Surface high pressure will develop east/southeast
    from the Plains toward the Midwest through the period. A generally
    dry and stable airmass will be in place behind the prior cold front
    which moved across the eastern U.S. earlier this week. This will
    limit thunderstorm activity except across south FL where deeper
    moisture and stronger heating will result in isolated thunderstorm
    potential.

    Additional isolated thunderstorms are possible across parts of the
    Great Lakes as well. Cold temperatures aloft will result in steep
    lapse rates and weak instability as a shortwave trough embedded in
    larger-scale eastern trough pivots east/northeast across the Midwest
    and Northeast on Thursday.

    Warm and dry conditions beneath the western upper ridge will
    preclude thunderstorm activity west of the Rockies.

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

    ...Discussion...

    Large-scale pattern is expected to remain unfavorable for
    thunderstorms across much of the CONUS during the day2 period, with
    the exceptions of south Florida and in the lee of the lower Great
    Lakes.

    Dominant upper ridge will remain anchored over the western US
    through this weekend which will ensure troughing east of the
    Rockies. One significant short-wave trough will rotate across the
    upper OH Valley into New England Friday afternoon. Lowering
    heights/cooling mid-level temperatures will become increasingly
    favorable for weak convection across Lake Ontario extending into
    northern portions of NY. While most convection will struggle to
    attain heights necessary for lightning, isolated thunderstorms are
    expected with the strongest updrafts.

    Farther south across the southern FL Peninsula, a prolonged corridor
    of low-level confluence is expected to remain focused across the FL Straits/south FL. Poor lapse rates, but very moist, and adequately
    buoyant, profiles suggest some thunderstorm threat across this
    region through the period.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected Saturday.

    ...Discussion...

    Upper ridge will hold over the southwestern US while troughing
    remains the predominant feature east of the Rockies. As a result, higher-quality moisture/buoyancy have been shunted into the
    southeast Gulf basin, extending across the FL Peninsula. While lapse
    rates will remain poor across this region, an elongated corridor of
    low-level confluence will persist across the southern Peninsula
    which will likely focus convection through the period.

    Farther west, a secondary mid-level short-wave trough will dig
    southeast across the Great Plains to a position from eastern
    KS/central OK by 04/06z. This feature will encourage weak convection
    along/just north of a surface front as it sags southeast across
    KS/OK into MO/AR region. A narrow zone of stronger boundary-layer
    heating should be noted ahead of the front from northwest TX into
    south-central OK. While low-level lapse rates will steepen along
    this corridor, forecast soundings suggest convective temperatures
    may not be breached. For this reason, frontal lift should result in
    more elevated updrafts.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
    Sunday through Sunday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Models continue to indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will
    persist within the westerlies across the northern mid-latitude
    eastern Pacific into British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest,
    with general troughing east of the Rockies. However, inland of the
    Pacific coast, flow may continue to trend a bit more zonal.

    At least a pair of short wave perturbations, comprising initially
    amplified mid-level troughing across the Upper Midwest into the
    lower Missouri Valley and Ozark Plateau at the outset of the period,
    are forecast to trend out of phase Sunday through Sunday night. It
    appears that the most significant of these will accelerate
    east-northeastward across the lower Ohio Valley, toward northern Mid
    Atlantic coastal areas. As it approaches the coast late Sunday
    night, associated forcing may contribute to surface wave development
    along a frontal zone offshore.

    Seasonably high precipitable water will remain confined to a narrow
    plume along the frontal zone, extending southwestward across the
    Florida Peninsula into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Scattered
    thunderstorm activity appears most probable near the Gulf Stream and
    across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, with potential for
    appreciable boundary-layer destabilization inland of Florida coastal
    areas remaining a bit more unclear.

    Otherwise, some scattered, weak thunderstorm activity appears
    possible late Sunday afternoon and evening across parts of
    central/eastern Ohio and adjacent portions of the Ohio Valley, where
    the mid-level cold pool associated with the vigorous short wave
    trough may overspread a corridor of stronger daytime heating.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper trough from the Great Lakes to the lower MS Valley will
    develop east/northeast across the eastern U.S. on Sunday. At the
    surface, a cold front is forecast to extend from lower MI
    southwestward into central TX during the morning hours. The front
    will progress eastward across much of the eastern U.S. by Monday
    morning. A dearth of low level moisture will limit thunderstorm
    activity, though a lightning flash or two is possible across parts
    of the Ohio Valley where cold temperatures aloft will result in
    steep lapse rates amid shallow convection. However, coverage is
    expected to be sparse and less than 10%. Greater thunderstorm
    coverage is possible further southeast across the central/southern
    FL Peninsula where deeper boundary layer moisture and warmer
    temperatures will allow for greater destabilization ahead of the
    surface front. Additional isolated thunderstorms also are possible
    near the NC Outer Banks.

    Warm and dry conditions will continue across the western states as a
    strong upper level ridge persists.

    Models continue to indicate that low-amplitude mid-level ridging
    within the westerlies will expand eastward, from the northern
    mid-latitude eastern Pacific through the Canadian Prairies and
    northern U.S. Great Plains by late Monday night. Downstream,
    mid-level flow likely will remain largely zonal, with a number of
    embedded, progressive short wave troughs.

    One of these perturbations is forecast to accelerate east of the
    northern Mid Atlantic coast during the day Monday, accompanied by a
    developing wave along an offshore frontal zone. While the front
    advances further away from the Mid Atlantic coast, it may slowly
    advance northward through portions of northern Florida, and more
    rapidly northwestward through the central Gulf of Mexico, to the
    north of Tropical Storm Gamma.

    Seasonably high moisture content will remain confined to areas along
    and south of this front, with substantive boundary-layer
    destabilization generally limited to central and southern portions
    of the Florida Peninsula during the day Monday. This could provide
    support for some thunderstorm activity.

    Elsewhere, generally dry and/or stable conditions are expected to
    prevail with negligible risk for thunderstorm activity.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected through Tuesday morning.

    ...Synopsis...

    Mid-level ridging is expected to persist across the western United
    States on Monday, with modest downstream troughing occurring across
    the Great Lakes. Several short-wave troughs embedded within this
    larger-scale pattern will quickly move through the flow. One such
    trough will accelerate east off the Mid-Atlantic coast, with another
    digging southward across the Great Lakes.

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

    An amplified upper pattern with a trough in the east and a ridge in
    the west will persist across the CONUS on Tuesday. Warm and dry

    Coast and into the southeastern Atlantic coastal vicinity. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across Florida northeastward along
    the GA and SC/NC coast/near-shore waters vicinity where stronger
    heating will allow for weak destabilization. Low level confluence
    and sea breeze interactions will be the main drivers of any
    thunderstorm activity in these areas.

    Further north across the upper Great Lakes area, strong
    northwesterly flow will overspread the region as the upper trough
    pivots east/northeast through the period. Steep midlevel lapse rates
    and cold temperatures aloft will aid in development of shallow
    convection, and a few thunderstorms are possible, mainly during the
    afternoon into the early overnight period.

    Thunderstorms associated with marginally severe wind gusts will be
    possible across parts of Upstate New York through northern New
    England Wednesday afternoon and evening.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A tornado is possible over southern Louisiana Thursday night.

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

    Elsewhere, generally tranquil conditions will occur across much of
    the contiguous United States.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
    NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes may accompany the landfall of Hurricane Delta,
    mainly across parts of southeastern Louisiana Friday afternoon and
    evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models continue to indicate that the main belt of westerlies across
    the mid-latitude Pacific into North America may begin to undergo
    amplification during this period. It appears that this will include
    a digging mid-level trough to the west of the Pacific Northwest
    coast. and building large-scale ridging across the Canadian/U.S.
    Rockies through the Canadian Prairies and the northern U.S. Great
    Plains. Downstream of the ridging, a short wave trough is forecast
    to dig across northwestern Ontario.

    Within a lingering weaker branch, split off to the south of the
    stronger flow, a short wave trough, with an embedded mid-level low,
    may gradually begin to progress into southern California and
    adjacent areas of the Southwest. As this occurs, some eastward
    progression of weak downstream troughing east of the southern Great
    Plains is expected, though mid-level ridging across the subtropical
    western Atlantic into parts of the Southeast may hold firm.

    In response to these developments, Hurricane Delta is forecast to
    continue accelerating northward, then northeastward, around the
    periphery of the ridging, before the mid-level circulation center
    becomes increasingly absorbed within the mid-level trough, as it
    progresses inland of the Louisiana Gulf coast. Delta is expected to
    be in the process of weakening as it makes landfall by early Friday
    evening, and more rapid weakening probably will ensue as it
    continues inland across Louisiana, late Friday evening through
    daybreak Saturday.

    In advance of Delta, and ahead of the weak mid/upper troughing
    emerging from the southern Great Plains, seasonably high
    precipitable water content likely will advect north-northeastward in
    a plume off the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. However, relatively
    dry/potential cool boundary-layer air as far south as portions of
    the Gulf coastal plain may be initially slow to modify.

    ...Gulf Coast...
    At the outset of the period, it still appears that surface dew
    points near or just above 70 F may be confined to immediate coastal
    areas, though perhaps a bit farther inland across southeastern
    Louisiana than other areas, to the north of Hurricane Delta. Across
    the remainder of the Gulf coastal plain, surface dew points may
    generally be in the mid/upper 60s F, with mid 70s F dew points
    mostly well offshore.

    Given the warm mid-level environment initially present, and
    advecting inland with Delta, mid 70s surface dew points probably
    will need to advect inland to contribute to sufficient
    boundary-layer destabilization to support an appreciable risk for
    tornadoes. Forecast soundings in recent model runs are increasingly
    suggestive that this is possible, at least in a corridor inland of
    southeastern Louisiana coastal areas, just in advance of and with
    the landfall of Delta. East-northeast and east of the low-level
    circulation center, enlarging, clockwise-curved low-level hodographs
    in forecast soundings also appear increasingly conducive to tornado
    potential, in the presence of weak boundary-layer layer instability,
    perhaps by mid to late Friday afternoon.

    The tornado threat may persist into Friday evening, before probably
    diminishing overnight.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes are possible mainly across parts of southern
    Louisiana Friday afternoon and evening.

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

    ALABAMA INTO NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND FOR NORTHERN NEW YORK INTO
    WESTERN MAINE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes are possible on Saturday across parts of Alabama and Mississippi. Severe gusts are possible across parts of northern New
    York into western Maine.

    ...MS/AL/Fl Panhandle...
    Tropical cyclone Delta will move from northeast Louisiana to near
    the AL/MS/TN border during the period according to the latest
    National Hurricane Center forecast. A very moist airmass will
    become conditionally unstable during the day amidst thinning cloud
    cover/cloud breaks within the southeast quadrant of Delta. Modest
    heating will contribute to weak buoyancy (250-750 J/kg MLCAPE)
    maximizing in an arc from southwest AL northward near the AL/MS
    border and protruding north-northwestward into north-central MS by
    mid-late afternoon. It appears a window of opportunity for
    appreciable destabilization will overlap with strong low-level
    flow/enlarged hodographs to yield a risk for a more focused zone of
    low-level mesoyclone potential. It seems the tornado threat will be
    highest during the afternoon and perhaps linger into the early
    evening before diminishing coincident with the loss of diurnal
    heating.

    ...Northern New England into western NY...
    An upper trough is forecast to amplify across Quebec, with strong
    low to mid-level west-southwesterly flow overspreading much of the
    Northeast by Saturday afternoon. A cold front initially near the
    St. Lawrence Valley at midday will move east-southeastward across
    New England and the Adirondacks by early Saturday evening. Although
    only limited low-level moisture is forecast in advance of the cold
    front (50s deg F), cool 500mb temperatures around -16 deg C will
    yield 200-800 J/kg MLCAPE from the Mohawk Valley northward into
    western Maine. A broken band of low-topped storms is forecast by
    mid afternoon and expected to grow upscale with time. The strong to
    very strong low-level westerly flow will enlarge hodographs such
    that a tornado cannot be ruled out. However, the primary severe
    risk will be scattered damaging gusts associated with a combination
    of fast-moving clusters/linear segments via momentum transport. The
    severe risk will likely diminish by the early evening as storms move
    east of the instability axis and nocturnal stabilization lessens the
    risk for severe gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Sunday across
    parts of the northern/central Plains into the Upper Midwest, with
    marginally severe thunderstorms also possible across parts of the
    Southeast.

    ...Northern/Central Plains into the Upper Midwest...
    A large-scale upper trough over western Canada and the northern
    Rockies will move eastward Sunday into central Canada, the
    northern/central Plains, and Upper Midwest. This upper trough should
    acquire a negative tilt by Sunday evening, while strong low to
    mid-level south-southwesterly winds overspread these regions. At the
    surface, a cold front will sweep eastward across the Dakotas and NE
    Sunday afternoon/evening, and continue into the Upper Midwest Sunday
    night. An EML will likely suppress convective development along the
    front through much of the day until it encounters mid 50s to perhaps
    lower 60s surface dewpoints late Sunday afternoon across far eastern
    SD, southwestern MN, and vicinity. The steep mid-level lapse rates
    present with the EML combined with modest low-level moisture return
    ahead of the front should support a narrow corridor of around
    500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE by peak afternoon heating.

    Strong forcing for ascent associated with the approaching upper
    trough will likely encourage convective initiation by late Sunday
    afternoon into the evening along the eastward-advancing cold front.
    30-40 kt of effective bulk shear will foster organized updrafts,
    with the steep mid-level lapse rates perhaps supporting some large
    hail with initial convective development. The severe wind threat
    should increase by Sunday evening into parts of MN and
    western/central IA as storms congeal along the cold front and
    quickly grow upscale into a fast moving line. This squall line
    should gradually weaken with eastward extent across the Upper
    Midwest Sunday night as it outpaces the already modest low-level
    moisture return and weak instability. But, it may still pose an
    isolated strong/gusty wind risk until the instability becomes too
    meager to support surface-based storms. How far east this gusty wind
    potential will last Sunday night remains uncertain, so have expanded
    the Marginal Risk eastward into more of southeastern MN and
    central/eastern IA. Latest guidance also suggests that there is less
    potential for low-level moisture return into northern MN, so severe probabilities have been reduced across this area.

    ...Southeast...
    The remnants of Delta are forecast by the National Hurricane Center
    to move northeastward from the TN Valley towards the upper OH Valley
    on Sunday. The surface low is forecast to remain rather weak through
    the period, although a warm front should also advance slowly
    northward across the Carolinas through Sunday evening. Around 30-35
    kt of mid-level southwesterly flow should be present across parts of
    eastern GA into SC/NC in association with Delta's remnant mid-level circulation. NAM forecast soundings across these areas show enough veering/strengthening of the wind profile in low/mid levels to
    support modest storm organization. Around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE
    should also be present along/south of the warm front as low-level
    moisture gradually increases and surface temperatures warm through
    the day. Even so, mid-level lapse rates will remain poor, which
    should temper updraft strength to some extent. Regardless, given the
    marginal deep-layer shear and sufficient instability forecast,
    isolated strong to damaging winds appear possible with any storms
    that form either along an eastward-advancing surface trough or the
    warm front. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out, primarily near
    the warm front Sunday afternoon/evening, where low-level flow is
    forecast to be slightly stronger compared to locations farther
    south.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Monday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A negatively tilted upper trough is forecast to extend from central Saskatchewan southeastward into the lower MO Valley early Monday,
    before continuing northeastward throughout the day. Relatively
    low-amplitude upper flow is anticipated in the wake of this trough,
    with moderate to strong north-northwesterly flow extending from the
    Pacific Northwest into the Upper Great Lakes by early Tuesday
    morning.

    At the surface, a cold front associated with the negatively tilted
    upper trough will likely stretch from far northwest WI southward
    into west-central IL and then back southwestward through the TX Hill
    Country early Monday. Gradual eastward/southeastward progression of
    this front is anticipated throughout the day, with the front
    forecast to extend from western Lake Erie to the middle Rio Grande
    Valley by 00Z Tuesday. Predominantly stable conditions are expected
    ahead of the front, precluding thunderstorm development. The only
    exception is over portions of the Upper Midwest through the Upper
    Great Lakes, where cooler mid-level temperatures and strong forcing
    for ascent may result in a few storms deep enough to produce
    lightning. A few convectively augmented gusts strong enough to
    produce damage may occur along the front, but, given the meager
    instability, uncertainty on occurrence and coverage remains high.

    Isolated thunderstorms are also possible ahead of the remnants of
    Delta and amid early period surface cyclogenesis (associated with
    the previously mentioned, negatively tilted upper trough) over NC.
    Weak wind fields and modest instability should preclude any severe
    risk. A few strikes are also possible amid the moist air mass across
    southern FL.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected across the
    contiguous United States on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A shortwave trough will move northeastward across parts of New
    England on Tuesday. A surface low is also forecast to develop
    northeastward off the coast. Low-level warm advection is forecast to
    occur through the day ahead of the features. Weak but sufficient
    MUCAPE should be present to support elevated thunderstorms, mainly
    along/near the coast. Instability should remain too weak to support
    an organized severe risk across this region.

    Farther west, a westerly mid/upper-level jet will advance eastward
    over parts of the Pacific Northwest through the period. Cool
    mid-level temperatures and ascent associated with this jet may
    support meager instability and perhaps isolated, low-topped storms
    capable of producing occasional lightning. Even though deep-layer
    shear will be strong, severe storms are not expected owing to the
    very marginal instability. Otherwise, thunderstorms are not forecast
    across the remainder of the CONUS, as dry and/or stable conditions
    should generally prevail.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are unlikely across the contiguous United States on
    Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A substantial positive-tilt upper trough will move across the
    northern Plains toward the Great Lakes Wednesday, with strong winds
    aloft and tight midlevel temperature gradient extending westward
    across the central Plains and into northern Rockies. At the surface,
    low pressure will deepen slightly as it moves from North Dakota
    toward lake Superior during the day. A cold front will trail
    southwestward from the low into the central Plains, while a dryline
    develops over western Texas and southwest Oklahoma.

    Given high pressure in place over the eastern states, moisture
    return ahead of this system will be meager, with little instability
    forecast to support thunderstorms. Dewpoints near 60 F may
    eventually reach I-35 in Oklahoma, with a narrow band of 50s F ahead
    of the cold front from Kansas into Missouri. However, forecast
    soundings indicate capping will exist along the dryline, and most of
    the cold front. In addition, midlevel lapse rates will be poor south
    of the mid/upper jet.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Minimal thunderstorm activity is forecast across the contiguous
    United States on Thursday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large area of cyclonic flow aloft will encompass much of the
    northern Plains, upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, with a
    tight midlevel temperature gradient extending from the northern
    Rockies to the mid Mississippi Valley into the northeastern states.
    At the surface, low pressure will eject northeastward from eastern
    Ontario into western Quebec coincident with a negative-tilt lead
    wave, with a cold front roughly from western New York to central
    Texas during the afternoon.

    Modest levels of low-level moisture will exist ahead of the cold
    front from Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley during the day,
    with poor lapse rates aloft and little shear. Lift along the cold
    front may support isolated, weak thunderstorms across this region,
    if the cap can be breached.

    Other diurnally driven showers and a few thunderstorms are possible
    from southeast Montana into western South Dakota north of the
    midlevel jet where lapse rates will be steep and where heating will
    occur.

    The best instability profiles will be over south Florida, where
    heating will combine with increasing moisture out of the southeast
    for a few daytime storms. Severe storms are unlikely.

    Elsewhere, although a front will push east across Ohio, Pennsylvania
    and New York late in the day, forecast soundings indicate only
    shallow convection with little if any lightning potential, likely
    rendering the strong deep-layer shear ineffective.

    Severe storms are not expected across the continental United States
    Tuesday and Tuesday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Broad cyclonic flow aloft will remain in place over the northern
    half of the U.S. Tuesday. Within the larger-scale flow, a
    pronounced short-wave trough will move from the northern
    Intermountain region eastward to the Upper Great Lakes. Elsewhere,
    a weak upper disturbance will linger over the Florida vicinity.

    At the surface, a quasi-stationary baroclinic zone will remain
    generally in place from the southern Plains to the Lower Great Lakes
    region, though its position will oscillate some during the period as
    the aforementioned upper short-wave trough advances.

    In the vicinity of this front, a zone of showers and a occasional,
    embedded thunderstorms will persist through the period. Otherwise,
    showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected from Florida
    northeastward to the eastern Carolinas. However, the environment in
    both of these convective regimes will remain largely insufficient to
    support more vigorous convection.

    the Plains, as a second mid-level short-wave feature digs
    southeastward across the Intermountain West.

    Other showers and occasional lightning will occur in the vicinity of
    the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal regions, from south Texas to the
    Carolinas, where a moist low-level airmass will contribute to modest
    CAPE.

    Showers will likely be ongoing ahead of the front at the start of
    the period, from the Lower Great Lakes/western New England
    southwestward to the Gulf of Mexico, with scattered/embedded
    thunderstorms over the Southeast and into the Gulf. As the front
    advances slowly eastward/southeastward, thunderstorm potential will

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-air pattern will amplify over the western U.S. on Sunday
    as a large-scale trough digs southward into the Colorado River
    valley. A broad, strong belt of southwesterly mid-level flow will
    extend northeastward from the Desert Southwest through the central
    Great Plains and into the Great Lakes. In the low levels, an arctic
    cold front will surge southward across a large part of the southern
    Great Plains during the period with only a weak low/inverted surface
    trough draped northeastward from TX into the Ozark Plateau.

    Isolated weak/disorganized thunderstorms are forecast during the day
    on Sunday across parts of FL and parts of the southern Appalachians.
    The risk for showers and a few post-frontal/elevated thunderstorms
    will increase Sunday night across the southern Great Plains as a
    40-kt southerly LLJ develops. Weak instability will likely preclude
    severe thunderstorms from developing with the late-night activity.

    period. Meanwhile, a mid-level anticyclone will reside over FL. In
    the low levels, a prominent surface high over the central High
    Plains will favor a cold front pushing south through central TX and
    the TX Hill Country. Weak elevated instability is forecast north of
    the surface front where the risk for isolated thunderstorms will
    extend from the Edwards Plateau of TX, north and northeastward into
    the Ozark Plateau. Isolated to widely scattered diurnal
    thunderstorms are possible across the FL Peninsula.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A closed upper low over AZ/NM and adjacent northern Mexico is
    forecast to move slowly eastward towards the southern High Plains on
    Tuesday. Large-scale ascent preceding this feature will overspread
    parts of the southern Plains through the period. Even though much of
    this region will be to the north of a cold front, weak elevated
    instability may still develop as mid-level temperatures gradually
    decrease with the approach of the upper trough. Isolated
    thunderstorms may occur in this regime. Farther south, substantial
    low-level moisture will remain confined to parts of coastal TX and
    the Southeast. Occasional storms may also occur across these regions
    though the day, but generally weak low/mid-winds should limit both
    deep-layer shear and organized severe thunderstorm potential. The
    enhanced low-level wind field associated with Tropical Cyclone Zeta,
    forecast by the National Hurricane Center to move northwestward to
    northward across the central Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, is not
    expected to overspread portions of the central Gulf Coast until
    after the end of the Day 2 period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes are expected from late in the day Wednesday through
    Thursday morning over parts of the central Gulf Coast states in
    association with Zeta.

    ...Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle...
    Zeta is forecast to make landfall late in the day on Wednesday over
    southeast Louisiana, and will weaken as it moves toward northwest
    Georgia by Thursday morning.

    Preceding landfall, southeasterly low-level winds will maintain 70s
    F dewpoints across southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the
    Florida Panhandle. MUCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg will develop, and
    isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out during the day over
    southern Mississippi and southeast Louisiana. Shear at this time
    will be marginal for any severe threat, but weak rotation will be
    possible with any cells.

    A rapid increase in low-level shear resulting in large, looping
    hodographs will occur after 00Z along and east of the center track.
    SBCAPE may only be a few hundred J/kg near the center due to warming
    aloft, but strong lift and very strong shear immediately east of the
    center track may lead to rotating storms and a couple tornadoes.

    Between 06-12Z Thursday morning, continued low-level theta-e
    advection, convergence extending southward into the northern Gulf
    and favorable shear may support a line of supercells from southern
    Alabama into the Florida Panhandle where 0-1 SRH is expected to
    exceed 400 m2/s2. This will support a tornado threat as well, before
    winds rapidly veer with the passage of Zeta to the north.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe gusts and a conditional risk for a tornado may exist
    Thursday from the Florida Panhandle into North Carolina and southern
    Virginia in association with tropical cyclone Zeta.

    ...Southeast and Mid Atlantic...
    The surface low associated with Zeta is expected to be over far
    eastern TN Thursday morning, and will move rapidly east toward the
    Delmarva by 00Z. Warm advection and strengthening shear will occur
    over the Carolinas during the day, where dewpoints 68-70 F dewpoints
    will contribute to a few hundred J/kg MUCAPE. Areas just south and
    east of the low track, along the southern periphery of the heavier precipitation appears to have the greatest chance of an isolated
    tornado or damaging wind gust during the day.

    Southwest of this low, heating will occur over SC and GA, but
    low-level winds will veer, reducing shear. Still, strong deep-layer
    shear and mean wind speeds will conditionally favor strong to severe
    gusts, though poor lapse rates aloft may mitigate more widespread
    potential.

    A somewhat better chance of isolated severe storms may exist
    Thursday night as large-scale ascent with a shortwave trough
    increases. The primary risk area for this time frame will be eastern
    NC, where low-level moisture may remain ahead of a secondary surface
    low. This threat is expected after 06Z, and isolated strong gusts or
    a tornado will be possible.

    Only a few weak thunderstorms are possible over southern Florida on

    ...Synopsis...
    As a large upper trough lifts across the Great Lakes and Northeast,
    high pressure will encompass the eastern CONUS with offshore flow
    over the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic. This will shunt any
    appreciable low-level moisture mostly offshore, the exception being
    far southern Florida where 70s F dewpoints will remain. Here,
    daytime heating and weak convergence may lead to an isolated
    thunderstorm or two during the afternoon.

    Elsewhere, a shortwave trough will drop east/southeast across the
    Pacific Northwest and into the northern High Plains by Saturday
    morning resulting in lift, but little if any instability will be
    present for lightning.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    NORTH CAROLINA INTO FAR SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over eastern North
    Carolina and far southeast Virginia on Sunday.

    ...NC northward to southeast coastal NJ...
    An intense and amplifying mid-level trough will evolve into a closed
    500 mb low as it moves from the Great Lakes on Sunday morning to the
    Northeast by early Monday morning. In the low levels, a surface low
    initially over northeast Ontario will consolidate with a surface low
    developing off the NJ coast and a strong surface cyclone is forecast
    over the Gulf of Maine/coastal Maine late Sunday night.

    During the morning to midday hours, the strengthening surface trough
    over the Mid-Atlantic states will aid in intensifying low-level flow
    and the northward transport of mid-upper 50s F dewpoints into the
    Delmarva and lower 60s in eastern NC. Strong differential advection
    via cooling aloft in the mid levels and moistening in the low
    levels, will result in a destabilizing boundary layer by early
    afternoon. Operational suite of models are generally showing the
    development of 500 J/kg SBCAPE over eastern NC with 100-200 J/kg
    MUCAPE as far north as the southern half of NJ. Forecast soundings
    show very strong low-level shear and enlarged hodographs over the
    narrow warm sector near the immediate coast. Strong mid-level
    height falls (90-150 m per 12 hr) are expected to overspread the
    VA/NC warm sector during the day. Given the above mentioned
    factors, it seems plausible a forced convective line will evolve
    over the Mid-Atlantic states. The risk for isolated strong to
    severe gusts may accompany this convective line before moving off
    the coast by early evening. Farther south over eastern NC, a
    supercell threat could evolve near the immediate coast with an
    attendant isolated wind/tornado hazard.

    Elsewhere, dry/stable conditions will generally prevail across much
    of the remainder of the contiguous United States.

    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United

    ...Discussion...
    A slowly progressive upper flow pattern is forecast over the U.S.
    Monday, as an eastern U.S. trough moves into the western Atlantic
    and Canadian Maritimes, while ridging persists over much of the
    western and into the central portion of the country. With time, the
    western ridge is expected to deamplify however, as a weak upper low
    moves across California and into Nevada, and a short-wave trough
    embedded in the northern stream approaches the Pacific Northwest
    later in the period.

    With surface high pressure -- and associated dry/stable air --
    prevailing over much of the country in the wake of strong eastern
    U.S. cold-frontal passage, little risk for thunderstorms is evident.
    One exception will be over a portion over the Desert
    Southwest/lower Colorado River Valley area. Here, relatively steep
    lapse rates aloft combined with weak large-scale ascent associated
    with the aforementioned upper low may result in a few lightning
    flashes emanating from high-based updrafts -- particularly during
    the afternoon hours. Elsewhere, thunderstorms are not expected
    across the remainder of the country.

    Large-scale upper flow over the U.S. is forecast to trend more zonal

    departs, leaving lower-amplitude westerly flow in its wake. A weak
    upper low over the California vicinity early Tuesday is forecast to
    advance eastward across the Great Basin/Four Corners states while
    short-wave troughing embedded in fast westerly flow shifts across
    the northwestern states. At the surface, aside from lee troughing
    over the Plains, high pressure will largely prevail.

    Given the dry/stable airmass covering most of the country, little
    thunder potential is evident. A few lightning flashes will be
    possible, embedded within low-topped convective precipitation,
    across the Four Corners states, as the aforementioned upper low --
    and associated cold air aloft/steep lapse rates -- spread across
    this region. Elsewhere, aside from a possible stray flash over the
    coastal Pacific Northwest as short-wave upper troughing shifts

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

    California and Nevada is expected with time, while a baroclinic zone
    shifts slowly southward across the Intermountain region and northern
    Plains.

    As the upper low advances southeastward near the West Coast, cool
    air aloft/steep mid-level lapse rates may promote occasional
    lightning flashes near coastal regions of northern and central
    California. Occasional lighting may also occur from the central
    Gulf Coast region to the southern Atlantic Coast within

    ...SUMMARY...
    No severe thunderstorms are expected across the continental United
    States on Saturday.

    ...Discussion...
    A highly amplified flow field aloft will persist over the U.S. this
    weekend. An upper low -- initially situated over the CA/NV vicinity
    Saturday morning, is forecast to evolve into an open wave while
    moving eastward across the Great Basin/Four Corners states through
    the period. Meanwhile, a new closed low -- still within the
    broader/highly amplified cyclonic flow field -- is forecast to
    evolve over the OR/NV vicinity as short-wave troughing digs
    southward out of western Canada.

    While cyclonic flow expands to cover the western half of the
    country, ridging will persist in the east. Within the broader ridge
    however, a weak low centered over the north-central Gulf/southern
    Louisiana area will linger, while farther to the southeast, tropical
    system Eta is expected to shift northward into Cuba early Sunday
    morning.

    Showers and local/embedded thunderstorms are forecast to evolve
    across portion of the Intermountain West Saturday afternoon, and
    continuing through the period, as a strong cold front -- associated
    with the upper troughing -- advances eastward. Very strong flow
    aloft will support strong/gusty gradient winds, especially at higher elevations. While a forced/broken frontal band of convection may
    evolve across portions of the Four Corners states during the
    afternoon and evening, it remains unclear that any severe-level
    convectively enhanced gusts will occur due to meager instability.
    As such, no convective wind probabilities will be included in the
    outlook at this time.

    Scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms are also expected
    across portions of the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions.
    However, weak instability should preclude any appreciable severe
    weather risk.

    SOUTH FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A marginal tornado threat is expected to develop Sunday night across
    south Florida as Tropical Storm Eta approaches.

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

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A tornado threat may exist Sunday night across southern Florida as
    Tropical Storm Eta approaches.

    ...Southern Florida...
    Tropical Storm Eta is expected to continue northeastward today
    before curving more to the northwest on Sunday as it approaches
    southern Florida. Reference the National Hurricane Center for the
    latest forecast details. With the approach of Eta on Sunday,
    low-level moistening will occur in tandem with a steadily
    strengthening low-level wind field, particularly late Sunday
    afternoon and Sunday night. Although thermodynamic details are a bit
    uncertain particularly with north-northwestward extent, favorable supercell-favorable low-level shear/SRH is forecast to coincide with moist/modestly unstable air particularly across the Florida
    Straits/Upper Keys into the south/southeast Florida Peninsula by
    Sunday night. The potential for rotating cells is expected to
    account for at least some tornado risk.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN OZARKS AND IN VICINITY OF THE
    FLORIDA KEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with hail and strong wind gusts will be
    possible on Monday from parts of the southern Plains into the mid
    Missouri Valley. A marginal tornado threat will be possible early in
    the period across south Florida and the Florida Keys.

    ...Southern Plains/Western Ozarks...
    An upper-level trough will dig southeastward into the Four Corners
    region on Monday as southwest mid-level flow remains established
    across the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley. At the surface, a
    cold front will advance quickly southeastward into the mid Missouri
    Valley and central Plains on Monday. Ahead of the front, moisture
    advection will take place as surface dewpoints gradually increase
    into the upper 50s and lower 60s F from west-central Oklahoma
    northeastward into north-central Missouri. In spite of the moisture, instability will remain weak ahead of the front due to abundant
    cloud cover and cool surface temperatures. For this reason,
    convective initiation is expected to hold off until evening when a
    band of strong large-scale ascent approaches from the west.
    Thunderstorm development is expected to take place during the mid to
    late evening from northwest Missouri southwestward into central and
    western Oklahoma. NAM forecast soundings from 06Z to 09Z Tuesday
    from Wichita, KS to Clinton, OK have MUCAPE reaching the 500 to 800
    J/kg range with 60 to 70 kt of deep-layer shear. This combined with
    steep mid-level lapse rates may be enough for marginal hail threat.
    A few strong wind gusts can not be ruled out as well. Thunderstorms
    are expected to develop along and just ahead of the front, moving
    eastward into eastern Oklahoma and western Missouri during the late
    night period.

    ...South Florida and the Florida Keys...
    The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Tropical Storm Eta to
    be located over the Florida Keys at daybreak on Monday and then to
    move westward into the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the day.
    Rainbands associated with Eta should be located across south Florida
    Monday morning. Model forecast suggest that a band of strong
    low-level winds will exist across the Florida Keys around 12Z on
    Monday. Forecast soundings at that time at Key Biscayne have 0-1 km
    shear from 30 to 35 kt with MUCAPE near 1200 J/kg. This should be
    adequate for a tornado threat mainly from 12Z to 18Z, before
    low-level shear begins to weaken across south Florida. Rotating
    cells that remain semi-discrete will have tornado potential, but the
    threat is expected to remain very isolated.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
    FLORIDA AND THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A tornado risk will exist across South Florida and the Florida Keys
    on Monday. A few thunderstorms capable of hail and strong wind gusts
    will be possible across the south-central Plains Monday evening into
    the overnight.

    ...South Florida and the Florida Keys...
    Current Tropical Storm Eta is expected to further intensify as it
    approaches the Florida Keys late tonight and early Monday. Reference
    the National Hurricane Center for the latest forecast details.
    Eta-periphery low-level winds will likely be maximized across the
    Florida Keys and South Florida early Monday. Some questions remain
    regarding the exact degree of destabilization particularly away from
    the coast and with northward extent across the Florida Peninsula,
    with the greatest overlap of low-level shear/SRH and buoyancy
    expected across the Florida Keys and far southern Florida Peninsula.
    Some potential for a couple of tornadoes will exist particularly in
    these areas during the morning and possibly into the afternoon,
    before likely diminishing by Monday night.

    ...South-Central Plains/Lower Missouri Valley...
    An upper-level trough will amplify and carve southeastward over the
    northern Plains and from the Four Corners area toward the
    central/southern Plains Monday and Monday night. An associated cold
    front will advance east/southeastward across the Upper Midwest and a
    broad portion of the central/southern Plains. A modest influx of
    low-level moisture will occur in advance of the front. It appears
    that steepening mid-level lapse rates and sufficient low-level moisture/buoyancy may become sufficient for some stronger storms by
    Monday evening, mainly across southern/eastern Kansas and northern
    Oklahoma. Marginally severe hail and gusty thunderstorms winds will
    be a possibility as storms increase across the region Monday evening
    into the overnight.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with strong wind gusts and hail will be
    possible on Tuesday across parts of the Ozarks and mid to upper
    Mississippi Valley.

    ...Ozarks/Mid Mississippi Valley...
    An upper-level trough will move quickly northeastward on Tuesday
    from the Great Plains into the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. At
    the surface, a cold front will advance east-southeastward across the
    mid to upper Mississippi Valley. A line of thunderstorms is forecast
    to be ongoing along the front from eastern Iowa south-southwestward
    into western Missouri at the start of the period. As the upper-level
    trough approaches from the southwest, strong large-scale ascent will
    sustain the line during the day as it moves eastward across the mid
    to upper Mississippi Valley. Ahead of this line, surface dewpoints
    in the lower to mid 60s F will contribute to weak instability by
    afternoon.

    Model forecasts over the last couple of runs have substantially
    increased forecast instability across the mid to upper Mississippi
    Valley. Current model solutions suggest that SBCAPE could peak in
    the 400 to 600 J/kg range in the afternoon from eastern Missouri
    into north-central Illinois. This combined with strong deep-layer
    shear of 60 to 70 kt, evident on forecast soundings, should support
    a marginal severe threat along the leading edge of the line. Strong
    wind gusts and hail will be possible with the more intense parts of
    the line. The line of storms is forecast to reach eastern Illinois
    and southern Lake Michigan by early evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A shortwave trough initially over the Great Lakes and Ontario is
    forecast to quickly shift northeastward into Quebec on Wednesday. A
    surface low attendant to the shortwave trough is also expected to
    develop northeastward across Quebec, with a trailing cold front
    making slow east-southeastward progress across the eastern CONUS
    through the period. An unseasonably moist low-level airmass,
    characterized by mid 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints, should be
    present ahead of the front from parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the
    Southeast. Even so, poor lapse rates and modest diurnal heating will
    likely limit instability through Wednesday afternoon across these
    regions. The stronger mid-level southwesterly flow associated with
    the shortwave trough should also remain generally displaced to the
    north of greater low-level moisture. This will limit deep-layer
    shear across the warm sector, especially with southward extent
    across the Southeast. Although very isolated instances of
    strong/gusty winds cannot be entirely ruled out with storms that
    develop along/ahead of the cold front, the overall severe threat
    across the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast appears too low to include any
    severe probabilities for wind at this time.

    Farther south, Tropical Storm Eta should continue northward over the
    eastern Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday according to the latest NHC
    forecast. Some guidance suggests the low-level wind field with Eta
    will expand on Wednesday, possibly encompassing parts of the FL Gulf
    Coast. At this point, it appears that the potential for isolated
    strong/gusty winds associated with low-topped storms embedded in
    outer rain bands will probably remain offshore.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    SC THROUGH EASTERN NC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated strong to severe storm is possible from northeast South
    Carolina through eastern North Carolina Thursday afternoon.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A progressive, broadly cyclonic upper pattern is forecast over the
    CONUS on Thursday. Eastward progression of a shortwave trough is
    anticipated through the Plains and Upper/Mid MS Valley, with
    eastward expansion of enhanced southwesterly flow aloft across the
    much of eastern CONUS. This increased vertical shear will result in
    a weakening of Tropical Cyclone Eta, which is forecast to begin the
    period centered about 35 miles west-southwest of OCF along the
    west-central FL coast. Strong low- to mid-level winds will be in
    place Thursday morning throughout the eastern periphery of the
    cyclone, before weakening during the day as the overall system
    weakens. Despite kinematic profiles that would support rotating
    storms, weak lapse rates associated with deep warm and moist air
    mass surrounding the storm will hamper the development of strong,
    persistent updrafts. Limited updraft depth and persistence should
    keep the potential for any low-topped supercells very low.

    Farther north into the Carolinas, numerous showers and thunderstorms
    are anticipated as a slow-moving front interacts with low-level
    moisture associated with Eta. The overall thermodynamic profile is
    not expected to be as warm and moist as those closer to the cyclone, contributing to the potential for modest instability. Additionally, strengthening mid-level flow atop southerly (and perhaps even
    southeasterly) low-level winds will result in enough low-level
    vertical shear to support an organized storm or two. Storm mode is
    generally expected to be linear but occasionally more discrete cells
    ahead of the front could result in damaging wind gusts or two, or
    maybe even a brief tornado.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected Friday or Friday night.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Progressive upper pattern is expected to gradually amplify on
    Friday, as one shortwave trough moves quickly through the Northeast
    and another pair of shortwave troughs move across the western CONUS. Northernmost of the two western CONUS shortwaves is forecast to move
    through the Pacific Northwest and into the northern Great Basin,
    while the southern shortwave moves through the Southwest into the
    southern Plains.

    At the surface, high pressure initially centered over the central
    Plains and mid MS Valley is expected to shift quickly northeastward
    as lee troughing develops over the High Plains ahead of the western
    CONUS shortwaves. Given this early day position of the surface high
    pressure, more favorable low-level moisture (i.e. low to mid 60s
    dewpoints) will remain over central/southern TX and the FL Peninsula
    for much of the day. However, the deepening lee trough and
    associated tightening of the surface pressure gradient combined with
    a strengthening low-level jet will help advect moisture northward
    Friday evening and overnight. As a result, low 60s dewpoints may
    reach as far as the TX/OK border by early Saturday morning. Some
    isolated elevated thunderstorms (rooted around 850 to 800 mb) are
    also possible within this warm-air advection regime. Limited
    buoyancy is forecast to keep any severe potential very low.

    Isolated lightning is also possible across coastal portions of the
    Pacific Northwest as the frontal band attendant to the shortwave
    trough progressing over the region moves through Friday afternoon. A
    few post-frontal strikes are possible as well.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR NORTHEAST
    OK ACROSS NORTHWEST AR INTO SOUTHERN MO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur across eastern Oklahoma and
    the Ozarks/Ark-La-Tex regions late Saturday afternoon and night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly across the
    Plains and into the Upper/Middle MS Valley on Saturday. This
    shortwave will be accompanied by a strong (i.e. 100 kt at 500 mb)
    jet, which will likely extend from eastern KS through the middle MS
    and southern OH Valleys, and into the Lower Great Lakes region early
    Sunday morning.

    Surface cyclogenesis is anticipated ahead of this shortwave and
    attendant jet streak. The resulting low is forecast to develop over
    the mid MO Valley before then tracking quickly northeastward through
    the Upper Midwest. An associated cold front will sweep
    eastward/southeastward. By 00Z Sunday, this front will likely extend
    from the low over central IA southwestward through western MO and
    eastern OK. By 12Z Sunday, consensus of the guidance places the
    front from Lower MI south-southwestward into western TN and then
    back southwestward across the Lower MS Valley into the TX Hill
    Country.

    ...Eastern Oklahoma/Ozarks/ArkLaTex...
    Modest low-level moisture advection will be underway across the
    southern Plains at the beginning of the period. Southwesterly
    low-level flow will persist throughout the day from the southern
    Plains into the Mid MS Valley, contributing to continued moisture
    advection and the potential low 60s dewpoints into the Ozark Plateau
    ahead of the front. Current observations place the low 60s dewpoints
    in central TX, under north winds and weak cold advection. Early day
    showers and cloudiness are also expected from northeast OK into
    southern MO. As a result, there is some uncertainty whether low 60s
    dewpoints will actually be able to advect as far north as the models
    suggest.

    Whether or not this is enough low-level moisture to support severe thunderstorms will also depend on the amount of heating the area
    receives. Current consensus within the guidance is for overcast
    conditions to hamper daytime heating, keeping temperatures in the
    low 60s (perhaps even upper 50s across northwest AR and southern
    MO). Given the resulting convective inhibition associated with those
    surface temperatures, updrafts would likely struggle to maintain
    depth and consistency, limiting the overall severe potential.

    In contrast to the marginal thermodynamics, kinematic fields are
    very supportive of organized storm structures with notable low-level
    curvature and long hodographs. Any updrafts that are able to
    maintain depth and consistency would likely pose a risk for damaging
    wind gusts and tornadoes. The overall scenario is conditional on destabilization but the strength of the wind fields merit upgrading
    to a 5% tornado/15% wind Slight Risk.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The threat for thunderstorms is expected to remain low across the
    Ohio Valley and southern New England Sunday into Sunday night,
    though gusty winds will be possible with shallow convection.

    ...OH Valley to southern New England...
    A midlevel shortwave trough will reach peak amplitude and will move
    quickly eastward over the OH Valley Sunday and New England Sunday
    night. A deep, associated surface cyclone over the upper Great
    Lakes at the beginning of the period will develop northeastward
    across parts of ON/QC, while a trailing cold front moves quickly
    eastward. This front will focus shallow convection and some low-end
    potential for lightning flashes.

    Low-level moisture return into the OH Valley will be substantially
    more limited compared to areas farther southwest on Saturday.
    Boundary-layer dewpoints should be confined to the mid-upper 40s by
    midday across the upper OH Valley, immediately in advance of the
    front. Shallow buoyancy is expected along the cold front as
    low-level lapse rates steepen with modest surface heating and
    cooling above the surface. The depth of the buoyancy will be
    questionable for charge separation and lightning production with
    bands of shallow convection focused in the zone of ascent along the
    front during the day across OH/PA/NY. A corridor of low-level
    moistening from the Mid-Atlantic into southern New England should
    help maintain weak buoyancy rooted near or just above the ground
    into early Sunday night across southern New England. Though the
    potential for lightning will remain limited, there is a small chance
    of strong/damaging gusts driven by the shallow convection given
    SBCAPE of 100-200 J/kg and 50-60 kt flow in the lowest 2 km above
    ground level. Thus, will maintain a general thunderstorm area and
    will continue to re-evaluate the potential for strong convective
    gusts with shallow convection in later updates.

    ...Elsewhere...
    Pre-frontal destabilization will be sufficient for isolated
    thunderstorms along a cold front during the afternoon across deep
    South TX. Rain showers will be possible across central FL, though
    any convection here will be limited by a pronounced midlevel
    inversion.

    The threat for thunderstorms is expected to remain fairly low across
    parts of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and southern New England
    Sunday into Sunday night, though strong/gusty winds may still occur
    with shallow convection.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward across the OH
    Valley, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and New England on Sunday. A deep
    surface low associated with this shortwave trough should develop
    northeastward into Ontario/Quebec through the period. A trailing
    cold front will sweep quickly eastward across parts of the OH
    Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and New England through Sunday evening.

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are possible to the west of the Washington and
    Oregon Cascades Tuesday afternoon and evening. Otherwise, the risk
    for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the U.S.

    ...Synopsis...
    Much of the U.S. will remain under the influence of an amplified
    branch of westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific through
    this period. While lead large-scale mid/upper troughing continues
    to gradually shift east of the Atlantic Seaboard, large-scale
    ridging appears likely to prevail and expand eastward across the
    remainder of the interior U.S., ahead of large-scale troughing
    across the eastern Pacific into the Pacific Coast states.

    One short wave perturbation emanating from the western troughing may
    progress toward the crest of the downstream ridging and contribute
    to significant cyclogenesis to the lee of the Canadian Rockies late
    Tuesday through Tuesday night. Deepening surface troughing appears
    likely as far south as the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle region.
    However, the southwestern flank of cold surface ridging shifting
    across and east of the lower Great Plains and Mississippi Valley
    will remain prominent across the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and
    Gulf Coast region. The will preclude substantive Gulf
    boundary-layer recovery and southerly inland return flow in the wake
    of the recent cold intrusion.

    ...South Florida...
    The boundary layer may remain seasonably moist across southeastern
    portions of the peninsula and Florida Keys through much of the day
    Tuesday, possibly contributing to weak to moderate CAPE with daytime
    heating. However, a remnant mid-level cyclonic shear axis
    progressing across the region may be in the process of weakening.
    Coupled with inhibition associated with relatively warm mid-level
    temperatures, probabilities for thunderstorms appear generally low
    and mostly confined to areas offshore of southeastern coastal areas/
    southeast of the Keys.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    The extent to which thermodynamic profiles will become conducive to
    charge separation remain unclear, with the mid-level cold core of
    the larger-scale troughing remaining mostly offshore through this
    period. However, models do indicate a swath of mid-level cooling
    (including 500 mb temps of -24 to -26 C) across coastal areas into
    the southern Washington/northern Oregon Cascades late Tuesday
    afternoon and evening, coincident with a belt of modest
    southwesterly onshore/upslope low-level flow. This seems to offer
    the best potential for scattered thunderstorm activity, and could
    become focused around the Greater Portland OR area.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday or Wednesday
    night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A progressive, but relatively low amplitude upper pattern is
    anticipated across the CONUS on Wednesday. A shortwave trough is
    forecast to begin the period just off the Northeast coast, before
    quickly progressing northeastward. In the wake of this shortwave,
    modest upper ridging is expected to move from the northern/central
    Plains through the Upper MS Valley and Upper Great Lakes. Farther
    west, a series of shortwave troughs will move across the Pacific
    Northwest and northern Intermountain West. The lead wave in this
    series will likely move through the northern Plains early Thursday
    morning as the most substantial wave in the series moves into the
    coastal Pacific Northwest.

    At the surface, expansive high pressure over much of the eastern
    CONUS early Wednesday is forecast to gradually shift eastward as
    troughing associated with lead Pacific Northwest shortwave deepens
    and shifts eastward across the northern/central Plains into the
    Upper Midwest.

    Short wavelength between shortwave troughs will limit the duration
    of southerly return flow, keeping areas across the central and
    eastern CONUS too stable for thunderstorms. Cold mid-level
    temperatures atop moist onshore flow will result in modest
    instability along the Pacific Northwest coast, supporting the
    potential for isolated lightning flashes, particularly early
    Wednesday morning and late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning as
    shortwave troughs move through the area. Given the cold mid-level
    temperatures, small, sub-severe hail is possible with some of the
    stronger, more persistent cells. Very isolated (i.e. less than 10%
    coverage) lightning flashes may also occur across eastern OR/WA into
    ID late Wednesday afternoon/evening as the initial shortwave trough
    moves through.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Aside from portions of the Pacific Northwest coast vicinity, the
    risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the U.S.
    Thursday through Thursday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that the westerlies will trend less amplified across
    the Pacific coast through the Atlantic Seaboard during this period.
    Persistent large-scale mid-level troughing near the British
    Columbia/Pacific Northwest coast is forecast to break down, with
    perhaps the most significant remnant perturbation accelerating east
    of the northern Rockies through northwestern Ontario and the upper
    Great Lakes region by 12Z Friday. Downstream large-scale troughing
    appears likely to gradually recede to higher latitudes while
    continuing to shift away from the Atlantic coast.

    In lower levels, however, the southwestern flank of cold surface
    ridging has maintained a considerable influence across much of the
    Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast/Southeast vicinity. Models suggest
    that boundary-layer recovery over the Gulf of Mexico, and the
    development of a southerly inland return flow, will continue to be
    hampered by lingering surface ridging through this period.
    Particularly east of the Rockies, this will continue to contribute
    to generally dry and/or stable conditions with negligible risk for thunderstorms.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    Models continue to indicate that mid-level height rises will be
    underway, and the mid-level thermal trough axis (-32 to -34 C at 500
    mb) may be in the process of shifting east of the Cascades by 12Z
    Thursday. However, guidance indicates that the western edge of the
    cold core (AOB -30C at 500 mb) will linger west of the Cascades into
    at least Thursday afternoon, while deep-layer flow also remains at
    least broadly cyclonic. Perhaps aided by large-scale ascent
    associated with a weak embedded, inland migrating perturbation,
    modest westerly low-level onshore/upslope flow, and destabilization
    associated with insolation, a few weak thunderstorms appear possible
    to the west of the Cascades Thursday.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms currently appears negligible across much
    of the U.S. Friday through Friday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that the westerlies will remain split, roughly along
    120-140W longitude, with broadly confluent downstream flow centered
    across the northern tier of the U.S. and adjacent southern Canada.
    As one of the more significant perturbations embedded within this
    regime continues accelerating eastward, from northwest Ontario and
    the upper Great Lakes region through the Canadian Maritimes by 12Z
    Saturday, the center of broad cold surface ridging is forecast to
    build southeastward across/east of the middle Missouri Valley. This
    will tend to contribute to the reinforcement of generally dry and
    stable conditions in the wake of a prior cold intrusion; however, it
    will be preceded by at least some further boundary-layer recovery
    and inland return flow around the southern/western periphery of
    remnant surface ridging centered over the Southeast.

    ...Florida...
    Models indicate increasing potential instability within moistening
    easterly low-level flow across the southwestern Atlantic/Bahamas
    vicinity into the Florida Peninsula. This could contribute to
    potential for deepening convective development and scattered showers
    Friday into Friday night, particularly along the Atlantic coastal
    areas. However, it appears that relatively warm mid-levels and
    generally weak forcing for ascent will preclude intensification of
    convection into thunderstorms.

    ...Ozark Plateau vicinity...
    Models indicate that weak to modest low-level moistening on
    southerly return flow will contribute to weak CAPE above the leading
    edge of the southward advancing reinforcing cold intrusion. It
    appears that this may become focused along the Interstate 44
    corridor of southwestern through south central Missouri, where
    mid-level cooling may also weaken inhibition sufficiently to allow
    for deepening convective development by 12Z Saturday. While
    forecast soundings appear to suggest some risk for lightning with
    this activity, the extent of this potential remains unclear, and
    thunderstorm probabilities are being maintained at less than 10
    percent for now.

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
    Saturday through Saturday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models suggest that the most prominent branch of westerlies
    emanating from the Pacific may undergo amplification during this
    period. It appears that this will include a building mid-level
    ridge across the Canadian Rockies and northern U.S. intermountain region/Rockies, and a digging short wave trough across the northern
    Great Plains and middle Missouri Valley.

    The short wave trough may support weak frontal wave development
    along the leading edge of a reinforcing cold intrusion across the
    Ozark Plateau/lower Missouri Valley vicinity, where southerly return
    flow in the wake of a prior cold intrusion has allowed for weak to
    modest low-level moistening. However, substantive further Gulf
    moisture return appears unlikely, with only a very gradual continued boundary-layer moistening within easterly low-level flow to the
    south of remnant surface ridging across the Gulf Coast region.

    ...Four Corners region through the Ozarks vicinity...
    Ahead of the digging short wave trough, at least a couple of short
    wave perturbations are forecast to traverse the region within a belt
    of westerlies emanating from the southern mid-latitude/subtropical
    eastern Pacific. Associated forcing for ascent probably will
    contribute to areas of convective development. However, based on
    model forecast soundings, the extent to which this activity may
    become capable of producing lightning remains unclear.

    Low-level moisture return and warm advection are expected to remain
    focused across parts of the Ozark Plateau into the lower Missouri
    Valley, where relatively warm temperatures aloft/weak lapse rates
    may inhibit weak thunderstorm development until perhaps late
    Saturday evening/Saturday night.

    Upstream, very weak CAPE rooted at higher levels, aided by somewhat
    steeper mid-level lapse rates, mainly near/above the 700 mb level
    could become supportive of weak thunderstorm activity near the
    Oklahoma/Kansas border vicinity into southeastern Colorado.
    Otherwise, orographic forcing might contribute to an isolated weak
    thunderstorm or two across the mountains of southwestern Colorado
    late Saturday afternoon.

    ...Florida...
    Within gradually moistening easterly low-level flow, models suggest
    that areas of scattered showers may overspread the peninsula
    Saturday through Saturday night. As a mid-level high center shifts
    east of the south Atlantic Seaboard, weak cooling aloft may allow
    for increasing probabilities for thunderstorms by Saturday night,
    mainly near southeast coastal areas.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough initially over the Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday
    morning will progress eastward across the MS/OH Valleys to the
    eastern states by the end of the period. At the surface, a weak low
    over the mid MS Valley should develop northeastward across the OH
    Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast by late Sunday night
    while slowly deepening. A cold front attendant to this surface low
    is forecast to sweep east-southeastward across much of the southern
    Plains, lower MS Valley/Southeast, and eastern states through early
    Monday morning.

    Limited low-level moisture, characterized by 50s surface dewpoints,
    should be present in a narrow corridor ahead of the front across
    parts of TX to the Mid-South. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may
    be ongoing at the start of the period over these areas along/behind
    the front, although instability should remain rather weak owing to
    poor mid-level lapse rates. Thunderstorm potential should quickly
    diminish by Sunday afternoon as the forcing associated with the
    upper trough departs this region. Negligible instability forecast
    across the OH Valley/Mid-Atlantic suggests thunderstorm potential
    should remain very low as the upper trough moves over these areas.

    Along much of the East Coast, surface ridging should generally
    hinder the inland advance of substantial low-level moisture. One
    exception may be eastern NC/SC late Sunday night into early Monday
    morning. Here, upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints may be present
    ahead of the eastward-advancing cold front. As modest mid-level
    height falls associated with the approaching upper trough overspread
    this region, at least isolated thunderstorms may develop. Although
    deep-layer shear appears sufficient to support organized storms,
    current expectations are for greater instability to remain confined
    to immediate coastal areas, with any meaningful strong to severe
    storm potential probably remaining offshore.

    Elsewhere, isolated thunderstorms may occur Sunday across parts of
    the FL Peninsula and the Keys as weak low-level easterly flow
    continues, and the Four Corners vicinity into western CO as upper
    troughing amplifies over the western CONUS late in the period.

    Shortwave trough currently moving into the northern Rockies is

    Surface low associated with this system will be centered the near

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Shortwave trough currently moving through Mid MS and OH Valleys is
    expected to extend from the Lower Great Lakes into the
    western/central Carolinas by early Monday morning. This system is
    forecast to obtain an increasingly negative tilt as it continues
    northeastward through the Northeast States. An attendant surface low
    will start the period over the southern Saint Lawrence Valley, with
    a cold front extending southeastward into southern New England and
    then southward/southwestward off the East Coast.

    A small portion of southern New England, including RI and eastern
    MA/Cape Cod, may still be ahead of this front early Monday morning.
    Mid-50s dewpoints are expected to be in place, contributing to the
    potential for modest instability and a few, deeper convective cores
    along the front. These deeper cores combined with moderate
    low/mid-level flow could result in a few strong wind gusts. However,
    spatial and temporal limit of the threat coupled with only marginal
    potential precludes introducing any probabilities with this outlook.

    Farther west, a deep shortwave trough is forecast to extend from
    western British Columbia into central CA at the beginning of the
    period. This shortwave is expected to deepen throughout the day
    Monday, contributing to the development of a closed cyclone centered
    over the Four Corners by early Tuesday morning. Downstream surface
    cyclogenesis is anticipated over the central High Plains by Monday
    evening, with the resulting surface low then moving eastward into
    the central Plains. Limited moisture return ahead of this low will
    keep the surface-based thunderstorm potential minimal. However, cold
    mid-level temperatures and strong forcing for ascent attendant to
    the mid/upper cyclone will likely contribute to isolated lightning
    flashes within the deeper convective cores. A few flashes are also
    possible in the stronger elevated storms within the warm sector.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible late afternoon Tuesday into
    Tuesday night across portions of the southern/central Plains,
    Ozarks, Mid-South, and lower Mississippi Valley. Large hail and
    severe gusts are the primary hazards.

    ...Synopsis...
    A potent mid-level shortwave trough --evident on water-vapor imagery
    Monday morning over the southern Sierra Nevada-- will move from the
    NM/AZ border on Tuesday morning, eastward to western MO by daybreak
    Wednesday. An associated 90-kt 500 mb speed max will move through
    the base of the trough and move into northwest TX/southern OK
    Tuesday evening and into the Ozarks late. At the surface, a low
    initially over the OK Panhandle will develop eastward into the lower
    MO Valley as a cold front sweeps southward through much of OK and northwest/north-central TX Tuesday night.

    ...OK eastward into the Ozarks...
    Strong southerly low-level flow during the day will advect 50s F
    dewpoints northward into western/central OK as a warm front advances
    northward into north-central OK by early evening. A dryline is
    forecast to sweep eastward across the TX Panhandle/South Plains
    during the afternoon. As strong large-scale ascent associated with
    the disturbance overspreads the southern High Plains, isolated
    thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the TX Panhandle into
    western OK during the 3-6pm period. As the storms move/develop into
    slightly richer low-level moisture near the OK border, the potential
    for large hail will probably increase as mid-level cooling aids in destabilization (-18 to -21 C at 500 mb). Strengthening and veering
    winds with height will favor storm organization, including the
    possibility for a few low-topped supercells initially, before
    upscale growth into a cluster or band of storms evolves during the
    evening. Large hail will probably accompany the stronger cores
    through early to mid evening before this threat lessens. Isolated
    to widely scattered severe gusts (60-70 mph) are possible as this
    activity moves east during the evening across OK. During the
    overnight, a lingering risk for isolated damaging winds may continue
    into the Ozarks and perhaps develop as far south as the Arklatex. A
    separate area of thunderstorms is forecast to develop across
    north-central TX overnight along the front. An isolated hail/wind
    risk may accompany these storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE LOWER AND MIDDLE MS...LOWER OH AND TN VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Wednesday across
    parts of the lower/mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio/Tennessee
    Valleys and Southeast. Locally damaging winds should be the main
    threat, although a tornado or two also appears possible.

    ...Synopsis...

    A mid/upper level shortwave trough centered over the Ozark Plateau
    early Wednesday will lift northeast across the Midwest to the upper
    OH Valley/central Appalachians by 12z Thursday. Surface low pressure
    will move in tandem with the upper trough from MO toward the lower
    Great Lakes while a trailing cold front pushes eastward across the
    mid/lower MS valley and the lower OH/TN Valley. Ahead of the front,
    southerly low level flow will continue to transport Gulf moisture
    northward, with 60s F dewpoints reaching as far north a TN
    potentially. Surface dewpoints in the 50s will be more common
    farther north across the Ohio Valley vicinity. Surface heating will
    be limited by cloudiness and showers ahead of the front, but cooling
    aloft is expected to result in modest midlevel lapse rates.
    Furthermore, strong shear profiles are forecast as winds veer with
    height and 40-60 kt 850-700 mb southwesterly flow overspreads much
    of the southern/central U.S. This should support at least isolated strong-to-severe thunderstorms capable of strong/locally damaging
    wind gusts across the lower/mid MS Valley to the OH/TN Valley.

    ...Lower/Mid MS Valley to the OH/TN Valley Vicinity...

    Higher-quality low level moisture will be confined to the lower MS
    Valley into MS/AL on Wednesday. While stronger heating will be
    limited by cloudiness and showers ahead of the cold front, modest
    midlevel lapse rates atop rich boundary layer moisture should result
    in at least weak surface-based instability (typically 750 J/kg or
    less). Strong shear will reside over the region to aid in organized
    convection. Deep layer flow will mainly be parallel to the front,
    favoring line segments, but a couple of semi-discrete cells also are
    possible. Strong forcing closer to the trough/surface low will be
    shifting away from the region through the day, but the front and
    weak buoyancy will be sufficient for strong-to-severe convection
    into parts of MS/AL and middle TN through early evening. Storm mode
    and quickly strengthening flow with height will mainly favor
    damaging wind potential. However, where backed low level flow is
    present, low level SRH will be enhanced and a tornado or two cannot
    be entirely ruled out.

    Farther north, instability will be even weaker given overall
    poorer-quality boundary layer moisture and a cooler environment.
    However, steeper midlevel lapse rates with colder air aloft should
    result in weak elevated instability. Stronger forcing and favorable
    shear profiles may compensate somewhat for meager instability, and
    at least a narrow line of near-surface-based convection closer to
    the surface low and cold front is expected during the
    afternoon/evening across parts of the lower OH Valley. Strong low
    level wind field associated with low/midlevel jet streak will favor
    bowing segments capable of isolated strong/damaging gusts.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS...LOUISIANA...AND SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Friday across
    parts of central/east Texas, Louisiana, and southwestern
    Mississippi. Large hail and strong to damaging winds should be the
    main threats.

    ...Texas into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Mainly elevated thunderstorms will probably be ongoing to the north
    of a warm front at the beginning of the period across parts of east
    TX and LA. This activity will be supported by modest low-level warm
    advection, which is forecast to weaken through Friday morning.
    Still, given the forecast combination of MUCAPE around 500-1250 J/kg
    and 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear, this convection may continue to
    pose an isolated large hail threat across parts of LA and perhaps
    southwestern MS through the morning hours before diminishing.

    As a closed upper low slowly pivots across the Southwest and towards
    the southern High Plains through the period, a belt of enhanced west-southwesterly mid-level winds will remain over much of
    central/east TX into parts of the lower MS Valley. A generally southwest-northeast oriented surface boundary should be located over
    these areas, with rich low-level moisture characterized by upper 60s
    to perhaps low 70s surface dewpoints to its south. It appears that
    this boundary will serve a focus for potentially robust convection
    through the day, possibly beginning by early afternoon across
    central TX as an upper jet overspreads this region. Up to 1000-1500
    J/kg of MLCAPE may develop along/south the front. Coupled with
    strong deep-layer shear, this should support some organized
    convection. Isolated large hail and strong to locally damaging wind
    gusts appear to be the main threats as storms move slowly
    east-southeastward into coastal TX/LA in tandem with the surface
    front through Friday evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY ACROSS
    PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN
    MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the northwestern Gulf
    coastal plain Friday, and could pose at least some risk for severe
    hail and strong wind gusts.

    ...Synopsis...
    Stronger mid-latitude westerlies are forecast to remain confined to
    the central/northern tier of the U.S. northward, but a strong
    high-level jet emerging from the subtropical eastern Pacific appears
    likely to remain influential across the Gulf Coast region and
    Southeast through this period.

    Within this regime, one mid-latitude wave, in phase with the
    subtropical stream, is forecast to progress east of the New England
    coast by 12Z Friday, followed by another perturbation digging into
    and across the Great Lakes region by late Friday night. Another
    upstream perturbation, currently splitting off of the belt of
    mid-latitude westerlies across the Great Basin, may evolve into a
    mid-level low over Arizona, before gradually accelerating eastward
    in phase with the subtropical westerlies, into/across the southern
    Rockies.

    Although spread among the various model output remains largest
    concerning the Southwestern perturbation, there is little suggestion
    within the guidance that it will provide support for substantive
    wave development along a frontal zone expected to slowly continue
    advancing into the northwestern Gulf coastal plain. This frontal
    motion is forecast in response to the progression of the preceding
    mid-latitude short waves, which may also contribute to a
    southeastward advancement of the front off the southern Atlantic
    Seaboard, while the front becomes quasi-stationary across the
    eastern Gulf Coast states vicinity.

    A plume of seasonably moist air will linger along and just south of
    this frontal zone, though generally weak mid/upper lapse rates are
    expected to temper the potential instability.

    ...Southeast Texas into southern Louisiana/Mississippi...
    Near/just south of the surface front, it does appear that CAPE
    rooted within/just above the boundary-layer may reach 500-1000 J/kg
    across the coastal plain. Deep-layer shear is also expected to
    become strong, as the core of the high-level jet emerging from the
    subtropics begins to overspread the region, with 30-50+ kt westerly
    flow as low as the 700-500 mb layer. However, guidance generally
    indicates that low-level wind fields and forcing for ascent will
    remain modest to weak through this period.

    Models do suggest that a coupling of speed maxima within the
    mid/upper jet may contribute to a region of strong, focused
    high-level divergence overspreading southeast Texas into the lower
    Mississippi Valley during the day Friday. Perhaps aided by weak
    mid-level warm advection, this is expected to contribute to
    thunderstorm development which could eventually become rooted within
    the modestly unstable boundary layer. If this occurs, stronger
    cells may briefly become capable of producing marginally severe
    hail. One or two small organizing clusters of storms might not be
    out of the question, which could pose a risk for potentially
    damaging wind gusts while propagating southeastward into Friday
    evening.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Saturday.

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

    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper low and attendant shortwave trough will eject from the
    southern Rockies to the southern Plains on Saturday. As the trough
    emerges over the Plains late in the period, a weak surface low will
    develop along the middle/upper TX coast toward southwest LA,
    allowing a stalled cold front to surge eastward across southern TX
    to the Sabine River vicinity. Meanwhile, a warm front will remain
    draped west-to-east from the surface low over southwest LA to near
    the FL/GA border.

    Showers and thunderstorms are likely across much of eastern TX into
    the Ozark Plateau and lower MS Valley in this warm advection regime
    ahead of the upper trough. While a couple of strong storms are
    possible near the TX Gulf coast, instability will be limited over
    land by cloud cover/poor heating and widespread precipitation, and
    any severe potential is expected to remain offshore.

    PARTS OF THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COASTS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible over the
    middle/upper Texas Coast and far southwest Louisiana on Wednesday.

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

    A mid-level low will meander eastward from central OK to the Ozark
    Plateau while a belt of strong mid- to high-level southwesterly flow
    resides across the lower MS Valley. In the low levels, a cold front
    over the northwest Gulf Basin and LA will push eastward across the
    lower MS Valley. Negligible surface reflection in the form of an
    inverted trough and weak low pressure are forecast to move east over
    southern parts of LA, MS, and southwest AL. Weak elevated
    thunderstorms are forecast north of I-10 in the central Gulf Coast
    states. Forecast soundings indicate near surface-based parcels
    could reach as far north as the barrier islands or mainland beaches
    of MS/AL late Thursday night/early Friday morning. While it is
    possible a storm or two could exhibit weak rotation in the
    near-shore waters, it seems the risk for severe will remain low.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND PARTS OF THE EASTERN CAROLINAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible portions of the Florida
    Panhandle Friday and across the coastal Carolinas late Friday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level low/trough located over the Mid South Friday morning
    will transition into an open wave and become negatively tilted
    Friday evening over the southern Appalachians before moving east of
    the VA/NC coast by early Saturday morning. Southerly low-level flow
    will transport still-modifying air northward from the northern Gulf
    of Mexico into the FL Panhandle. The lack of robust surface
    cyclogenesis until after sunset Friday evening over the Carolinas
    will likely preclude both the stronger advection processes and
    appreciable destabilization inland of the immediate coastal areas of
    the northeast Gulf of Mexico.

    By Friday evening, the developing surface low over the western
    Carolinas will undergo the initial stages of bombogenesis beginning
    Friday night into Saturday. Only low-mid 50s dewpoints are forecast
    across the Upstate of SC into western and central NC with 100-200
    J/kg MUCAPE. However, intensifying deep-layer forcing for ascent
    coupled with weak instability will probably lead to isolated
    thunderstorms developing by early to mid evening. Although this
    activity will likely remain elevated as it organizes into a few
    small-scale convective bands near the low, a conditional risk for
    damaging gusts cannot be ruled out.

    By late evening, an appreciably destabilized airmass is expected
    over the NC coastal plain into northeast SC ahead of the gradually
    intensifying convection moving into the area from the west. Surface
    dewpoints ranging from the upper 50s further inland to the lower 60s
    near the immediate coast, will contribute to weak instability.
    Strong deep-layer shear will support storm organization and an
    isolated damaging wind/brief tornado risk may develop before the
    activity pushes east of the coast during the late overnight hours.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected Saturday or Saturday night.

    ...Synopsis/Discussion...
    An amplified large-scale pattern will persist over the CONUS with
    split upper-level flow over the Plains and Midwest. Thunderstorm
    potential along the Eastern Seaboard will have largely diminished
    into Saturday in the wake of a cold frontal passage. Most of the
    thunderstorm potential will be focused ahead of the cold front over
    the western Atlantic, but a few near-shore thunderstorms could occur
    in association with weak elevated buoyancy and cyclogenesis near the
    New England coast.

    Elsewhere, ahead of an eastward-moving southern-stream trough over
    northeast Mexico and central/southern Texas, sufficient elevated
    buoyancy may allow for a few thunderstorms near the Texas coast,
    although the bulk of the deeper convection should remain decidedly
    offshore. Finally, low-topped convection may accompany a shortwave
    trough approaching the coastal Pacific Northwest Saturday afternoon
    into Saturday night. However, forecast thermodynamic profiles do not
    appear overly supportive of lightning flashes.

    Surface high pressure will bring mainly dry and stable conditions to
    most of the CONUS on Sunday. The exception will be across southern
    Florida late in the period, where isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms are possible. An upper low over the southern Plains is
    forecast to become an open wave as it merges with another trough
    developing southeastward across the Midwest/Mid-South vicinity
    during the evening, and continue eastward overnight. This will bring
    increasing southwesterly deep layer flow across the Gulf of Mexico
    and southeastern states.

    At the surface, a weak low over the western Gulf will shift eastward
    through the period and be located offshore the southwestern FL coast
    by Monday morning. Boundary layer moisture will increase across
    southern Florida overnight in conjunction with strengthening
    effective shear. Isolated thunderstorms are expected across the
    southern Peninsula after 06z, and more likely by around 09z. Weak
    instability and poor lapse rates should limit severe potential,
    though a strong wind gust or two can not be ruled out.

    A few strong to locally severe storms may occur across southern
    Florida Sunday night and early Monday morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    A highly amplified/complex large-scale pattern will prevail on
    Sunday over the CONUS. A general prevalence of cool/stable
    conditions over the CONUS will confine deep convective potential to
    the Gulf of Mexico into far southern Florida.

    ...Southern Florida...
    Have introduced severe probabilities for late-night severe potential
    Sunday night into the morning hours of Monday. Weak height falls
    related to the amplifying upper trough over the Appalachians will
    influence weak cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Mexico into southern
    Florida, particularly Sunday night, as low-level moisture otherwise
    gradually increases. Ongoing storms over the Gulf of Mexico late
    Sunday may approach the Florida Keys and possibly the far southern
    Florida Peninsula late Sunday night/early Monday, with the
    possibility of some semi-discrete development also preceding any
    complex of storms over the Gulf of Mexico. While modest overall
    buoyancy and weak mid-level lapse rates should limit the overall
    magnitude and likelihood of a severe risk, sufficient
    moisture/instability in the presence of strengthening low/mid-level
    winds will support the possibility of some strong to locally severe
    storms capable of wind gusts and/or a tornado risk.

    Isolated thunderstorms are expected across the far southern Florida

    ...Southern FL and the Keys...

    The base of an upper trough over the eastern U.S. will pivot
    northeast on Monday, moving across the eastern Gulf Coast vicinity,
    and eventually offshore from the Atlantic coast Monday night. A weak
    surface low is forecast to be located near the FL Keys at the
    beginning of the period, with a cold front extending across southern
    FL. Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near the Keys
    and far south/southeastern peninsula. A narrow corridor of mid/upper
    60s F dewpoints and a couple hundred J/kg SBCAPE may overlap with
    sufficient low level shear to foster a couple of strong storms.
    However, forecast guidance varies, with faster solutions showing
    strong storms south and east of the Keys and the southern Peninsula
    by 12-13z while slower solutions bring a band of convection through
    by 15-16z. Thunderstorm activity will quickly diminish toward midday
    as the front pushes offshore. Uncertainty in short-duration severe
    potential in the first 2-3 hours of the forecast period will
    preclude Marginal risk probabilities at this time. However, if
    confidence increases in a slower eastward progression of
    thunderstorms, low-end wind and possibly tornado probabilities may
    be necessary in later outlooks.

    Meanwhile, a closed low will move south-southwestward over southern
    California toward off the coast of Baja. A prevalence of dry/stable
    conditions CONUS-wise will spatiotemporally confine deep convective
    potential to southern Florida Monday morning.

    ...Florida Keys and far southern Florida Peninsula...
    A late-night severe risk tonight into early Monday may persist
    beyond 12Z Monday and linger for an hour or two, prior to the front
    moving offshore to the Florida Straits by mid/late morning. Current
    thinking is that storms will be ongoing Monday morning across the
    region, including the possibility of a few strong or locally severe
    storms. This would be in association with a relatively moist (near
    70F surface dewpoint) and modestly unstable air mass in the presence
    of 35-40 kt effective shear. Any such severe risk should wane by
    mid/late morning.

    Upper troughing extending throughout the Intermountain West early

    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous
    United States on Monday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A shortwave trough should move quickly northeastward from the
    Southeast/TN Valley region across the Carolinas on Monday. A weak
    surface low initially over northern GA/western SC should likewise
    develop northeastward across the Carolinas Monday morning while
    gradually deepening, before advancing offshore Monday afternoon. A
    cold front attendant to this surface low will sweep eastward across
    these regions through the day.

    Some low-level moisture return should occur ahead of the surface low
    and cold front across the central/eastern Carolinas and eastern GA
    early in the period. However, forecast soundings across these areas
    indicate that very poor low/mid-level lapse rates and modest diurnal
    heating should hamper the development of meaningful boundary-layer
    instability. Still, isolated lightning flashes may occur with any
    convection occurring along/ahead of the cold front given the weak
    elevated buoyancy that should be in place.

    A rather strong (45-55 kt) southwesterly low-level jet is forecast
    to develop over parts of eastern NC/SC by midday, and it is not
    entirely out of the question that a strong wind gust or two could be
    observed as low-topped storms move quickly east-northeastward into
    areas with greater low-level moisture. Still, it appears that more
    robust convective development will likely occur over the Gulf Stream
    and offshore from the Outer Banks of NC Monday afternoon. Therefore,
    no severe wind probabilities have been included at this time.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough will move eastward across the southern/central
    Plains on Tuesday, eventually reaching the lower/mid MS Valley and

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

    be across parts of central CA Thursday morning, where cool mid-level temperatures and ascent associated with a progressive shortwave

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Saturday across
    parts of the middle/upper Texas Coast.

    ...Middle/Upper Texas Coast...
    A shortwave trough over the southern/central Plains Saturday morning
    is forecast to move eastward to the lower/mid MS Valley by Saturday
    evening. At the surface, a cold front will likely extend
    southwestward across central TX from a weak low near southeastern OK
    and northeastern TX at the start of the period. Generally elevated thunderstorms may be ongoing Saturday morning across parts of
    central/east TX in a modest low-level warm/moist advection regime.
    Weak MUCAPE (less than 500 J/kg) should preclude a severe risk
    along/north of the cold front through much of the morning.

    Ahead of the cold front, low to perhaps mid 60s surface dewpoints
    should advance northward into parts of the middle/upper TX Coast
    region by midday. Even though diurnal heating will likely be muted
    by widespread cloud cover and mid-level lapse rates should remain
    poor, there is some potential for MLCAPE around 250-500 J/kg to
    develop by early Saturday afternoon ahead of the front along/near
    the coast. Assuming sufficient boundary-layer destabilization, there
    will be enough deep-layer shear (40-50 kt) to support updraft
    organization. Isolated strong/gusty winds should be the main threat
    with any robust storms that can develop over land, before they move
    offshore fairly quickly early Saturday afternoon. Even though
    low-level flow is not forecast to be overly strong, around 100-150
    m2/s of 0-1 km SRH may be present very near the coast. Accordingly,
    a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

    Once storms move over the Gulf Saturday afternoon, the marginal
    severe threat across parts of the middle/upper TX Coast will end. A
    weak surface low may develop eastward along/near the LA Coast
    Saturday evening and overnight as the mid-level shortwave trough
    continues moving eastward. However, the inland advance of
    substantial low-level moisture appears unlikely, with generally
    elevated convection expected across LA and the lower MS Valley
    Saturday night.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the central Gulf Coast
    through Florida on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Two shortwave troughs are forecast to be embedded within the broad
    upper troughing expected to be in place across the central and
    eastern CONUS on Sunday morning. Lead shortwave initially extending
    from the middle OH Valley into GA will continue northeastward off
    the northern Mid-Atlantic/southern New England Coast. The second
    shortwave will likely begin the period extending from the central
    Plains into the southern High Plains. Expectation is for this
    shortwave to quickly progress southeastward through the mid/lower MS
    Valley and Southeast.

    Surface low forecast to start the period just off the southeast LA
    coast is expected to track eastward along the central and
    northeastern Gulf Coast before moving across northern FL late. Given
    the expected path of this low, inland penetration of the warm sector
    will be minimal. A few lightning flashes are possible amid the weak
    buoyancy and modest ascent near the surface low and along the
    attendant cold front, both along the central Gulf Coast, southern
    GA, and the FL Panhandle.

    Strong flow aloft will spread across the FL Peninsula, with the
    resulting vertical shear strong enough to support organized
    updrafts. However, warm temperatures aloft and modest low-level
    moisture will limit buoyancy. The current expectation is for
    predominantly transient and shallow updrafts along and ahead of the
    front as it moves over the central and southern FL Peninsula.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are expected across much of Florida and
    southeast Georgia on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper trough extending from the Upper Midwest to the southern
    Plains Sunday morning will pivot eastward through the period,
    extending from the lower Great Lakes to FL by Monday morning. At the
    surface, a weak low near the mouth of the MS River will develop
    eastward across the northeasterly Gulf of Mexico through early
    evening. Meanwhile, a cold front will shift eastward across the Gulf
    of Mexico in tandem with the low, eventually shifting east/southeast
    across northern and central FL overnight.

    Low level moisture will increase across the eastern Gulf ahead of
    the surface low and cold front, while mid/upper southwesterly flow
    strengthens. However, a poorer-quality airmass over northern FL into
    the central peninsula will be slower to recover. Surface dewpoints
    in the 50s to near 60 F will reside over much of FL through peak
    heating, limiting instability. Furthermore, some warming aloft will
    result in shallower convection. Clusters of thunderstorms will
    likely move onshore north of the Tampa area during the afternoon in
    the vicinity of a warm front. However, this activity will quickly
    lift north of the front and into a drier, weakly unstable airmass
    and should pose little threat for severe convection.

    Most guidance does bring richer low level moisture into the southern
    peninsula and along the west coast of FL from near Tampa southward
    after peak heating. However, will be ill-timed with stronger forcing
    moving well to the northeast of the region by evening. Furthermore,
    any convection moving onshore will likely outpace the arrival of
    better moisture. While a strong storm can not be totally ruled out,
    confidence is low that severe convection will occur.

    A progressive upper level pattern will bring a digging shortwave
    trough eastward from the western U.S. to the Plains by the end of
    the period. A surface low attendant to the trough will likely track

    Great Lakes. A trailing cold front will push east/southeast across
    the northern and central Plains during the afternoon and overnight
    hours, with the front oriented from northeast MN into central OK and
    northwest TX by Wednesday morning. Modest Gulf return flow is
    expected ahead of the front, with dewpoints in the 50s F reaching as
    far north as the Red River along the OK/TX border.

    Some shower activity is possible across parts of central into
    northern TX after 06z in this warm advection regime. However,
    moisture return is expected to be modest and even elevated
    instability will be meager. While a lightning flash or two could
    occur towards the very end of the forecast period, thunderstorms do
    not appear likely before 12z Wednesday.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon/night
    from the middle/upper Texas Coast across much of Louisiana,
    Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper trough is expected to extend from the Canadian Prairie
    Provinces southwestward into the Four Corners early Wednesday
    morning. Several shortwave troughs will rotate through this parent
    upper trough, contributing to both eastward progression and
    continued deepening. Upper flow around the trough will also
    strengthen significantly throughout the period, with a corridor of
    100+ kt 500-mb winds expected from the Lower Mississippi Valley into
    southern Ontario by early Thursday morning.

    At the surface, low associated with the lead shortwave embedded
    within the larger upper trough will begin the period centered over
    east-central Minnesota/northwest Wisconsin. A strong cold front will
    extend from this low southwestward through the Middle Missouri
    Valley and Oklahoma into southwest Texas. Fast
    eastward/southeastward progression of this front is expected
    throughout the day, and the front will likely extend from eastern
    Lower Michigan south-southwestward into the western Florida
    Panhandle by 12Z Thursday.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf Coast States...
    Low-level moisture will increase ahead of the southeastward-moving
    cold front, with low/some middle 60s F surface dewpoints becoming
    increasingly common by late afternoon/evening from the Texas coast
    into Louisiana/southern Mississippi. Semi-prevalent cloud cover will
    tend to limit heating with lapse rates remaining poor, resulting in
    only modest buoyancy. Regardless, surface-based storms are likely to
    develop near/just ahead of the front by late afternoon/early evening
    across the middle/upper Texas coastal plain into Louisiana.

    Low to mid-level wind fields will be strong, supporting stronger
    storms with any more persistent and deep updrafts. Although there
    are some uncertainties regarding the overall magnitude of the severe
    risk, damaging thunderstorm gusts will be possible and some tornado
    risk may exist as well.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR EASTERN SC...EASTERN NC...AND FAR SOUTHEAST VA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across the Mid-Atlantic States
    Thursday afternoon and evening. Isolated severe thunderstorms are
    also possible across portions of southeast Alabama, southwest
    Georgia, and Florida Thursday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper trough will extend from western Ontario southwestward
    through TX early Thursday morning. A shortwave trough embedded
    within the larger upper trough is expected to eject eastward across
    the Lower MS Valley before arcing more northeastward into the TN
    Valley. Evolution of the embedded shortwave will help induce a
    neutral tilt to the upper trough by Thursday afternoon, and a
    slightly negative tilt and closed upper circulation over the OH
    Valley by late Thursday night/early Friday morning.

    The maturing process of the upper trough will also result in further strengthening of the winds throughout its periphery. By early Friday
    morning, 100+ kt 500-mb winds will likely extend from the mid MS
    Valley southeastward/eastward through the base of the trough over
    the Southeast and then back northeastward into the Northeast. Very
    intense low-level flow is also expected, with 60+ kt at 850-mb
    extending from the Carolinas through the Mid-Atlantic into Quebec.

    Surface low associated with the embedded shortwave trough is
    forecast to begin the period over central AL before racing
    northeastward throughout the day. By early Friday morning, this low
    will likely be over western NY. This low is also expected to deepen
    during the period, helping to induce moisture return across the
    Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Mid-Atlantic States...
    Moisture return ahead of surface low and its attendant cold front is
    expected to net low 60s dewpoints across the Carolinas and southeast
    VA by the late afternoon/evening. Heating will be tempered by
    widespread cloud cover and lapse rates will remain modest. However,
    the anticipated moisture return should still be sufficient for
    modest instability by the afternoon. At the same time, very
    impressive kinematic profiles will be in place over the warm sector,
    with 50-70 kt 850+ mb flow contributing to large, looping low-level
    hodographs. 0-1 km storm-relative helicity will likely exceed 250
    m2/s2 over the warm sector. Any discrete/semi-discrete storms that
    develop within this environment should become supercellular and pose
    a threat for tornadoes. However, several factors are difficult to
    ascertain at this forecast range, including the speed of the cold
    front, quality of the moisture return, and coverage of
    surface-based, warm-sector storms. These factors preclude
    introducing higher tornado probabilities with this outlook, but
    upgrades may be needed in subsequent outlooks.

    Additional severe potential will exist along the front as it moves
    through the region. Both damaging wind gusts and QLCS tornadoes are
    possible along the front as it moves through the region. Higher wind probabilities may also be needed in later outlooks once the amount
    of buoyancy ahead of the front become more certain.

    ...Portions of GA and FL...
    Modest severe potential is anticipated early Thursday along and
    ahead of the front as it moves across the FL Panhandle and southeast AL/southwest GA. In this region, modest instability and strong flow
    will likely support a few strong/severe storms. Similar
    environmental conditions, but with less low-level shear, could also
    contribute to a few strong/severe storms across the FL Peninsula as
    the front moves through.

    trough extending southwestward from the low will approach the coast
    of southern California during the afternoon. Thunderstorm
    development will be possible within a plume of mid-level moisture
    associated with the trough. The chance for lightning will gradually
    increase southeastward along the coast from Santa Barbara into the
    Los Angeles vicinity during the day. Instability will be weak which
    will limit any severe potential. Elsewhere across the continental
    United States, thunderstorm development is not expected Monday or
    Monday night.

    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Monday along the coast of

    ...Discussion...
    Split flow aloft is expected across the U.S. Monday, as a
    northern-stream trough shifts across the Great Lakes and Northeast,
    while a southern-stream trough/low shifts inland over California and
    then across the Intermountain West.

    At the surface, a weak/fast-moving cold front will cross the
    Northeast/New England, while a Pacific front shifts across the
    Southwest.

    While most of the country will remain stable, precluding thunder
    potential, cold air/steep lapse rates aloft associated with the low
    moving onshore may provide enough instability to support a few
    lightning flashes near or just off the southern California coast.
    This activity should diminish as the upper system passes overnight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are not anticipated Tuesday into
    Tuesday night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad, positively tilted upper trough will move eastward on
    Tuesday, with the southern portion of the trough expected to dig
    southward over Mexico, while the northern portion is forecast to be
    more progressive as it moves across the central/northern Plains. A
    weak surface trough will become established during the day across
    the southern High Plains, before a cold front surges southward
    across much of the southern Plains Tuesday night into early
    Wednesday morning.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Modest low-level moisture (surface dewpoints in the 50s F) is
    forecast to stream northward across portions of west/central TX into
    southwest OK by Tuesday evening, in advance of the cold front.
    Surface-based buoyancy is expected to remain minimal, but weak
    elevated buoyancy (MUCAPE of 250-750 J/kg) may develop during the evening/overnight as the upper trough approaches. Elevated
    convection will become increasingly widespread near/north of the
    cold front Tuesday night, within a broad warm-advection regime.
    While strong midlevel southwesterlies will support effective shear
    magnitudes in excess of 40 kt, weak instability and the tendency for
    convection to coalesce into cluster or linear modes (versus more
    discrete modes) are expected to limit the severe hail risk, though
    small hail will be possible. One or more line segments with the
    potential for gusty winds cannot be ruled out, though there is
    currently too much uncertainty regarding the potential and location
    of any organized upscale growth to include wind probabilities at
    this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms -- and limited severe potential -- will affect
    portions of the Texas Coastal Plain and Hill Country from late
    afternoon Wednesday into the overnight hours.

    ...Synopsis...
    A highly amplified, split flow pattern will prevail across the U.S.
    Wednesday. In the northern stream, a trough initially over the
    upper Midwest is forecast to move quickly east-northeastward across
    the Great Lakes, reaching New England late. Meanwhile, a second,
    eastern Pacific short-wave trough will move inland over the Pacific
    Northwest early, and dig southeastward toward the Great Basin
    through the period.

    Meanwhile in the southern stream, an upper low is forecast to move
    across northern Mexico.

    At the surface, a cold front will move eastward across the Great
    Lakes region and into New England, and southeastward across the
    Ohio/mid and lower Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys, and southern
    Plains.

    Meanwhile, in response to the Mexican upper low, cyclogenesis is
    expected to occur during the second half of the period near the
    lower/middle Texas coast, eventually becoming commingled with the southeastward-moving cold front.

    ...Texas Coastal Plain and portions of the Hill Country...
    Showers and embedded thunderstorms -- ongoing at the start of the
    period -- are forecast to spread southeastward across the southern
    Plains Wednesday, along and behind the advancing cold front.
    Meanwhile, pre-frontal shower activity is forecast to increase ahead
    of the front, with scattered thunderstorms evolving from within this
    activity by evening as warm advection increases ahead of the
    advancing upper system.

    Limited CAPE is expected in the vicinity of the front as it advances
    across Texas, with warm mid-level air/modest lapse rates limiting
    convective intensity. Still, given ample flow aloft that may aid in
    sustenance of a few stronger updrafts, a 5% risk for hail appears
    warranted.

    Later, as a surface low develops near the southeast Texas coast, an
    increase in convection just ahead of the advancing front is
    expected. With favorable low-level veering/shear, beneath amply
    strong mid-level flow, a few rotating storms may evolve overnight.
    As such, very limited potential for a tornado (2%) and locally
    gusty/damaging winds (5%) will be included in this outlook, centered
    over the middle Texas Coastal Plain.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
    SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND INTO
    SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms -- including potential for tornadoes -- are
    expected Thursday and Thursday night from southeast Texas into the
    lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast States.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper pattern featuring split flow will persist across the U.S.
    Thursday. In the southern stream, a low over northern Mexico at the
    start of the period is forecast to rotate northeastward and then
    northward across central and eastern Texas and into Oklahoma late.
    Meanwhile, a short-wave trough emanating from the northern stream is
    forecast to dig rapidly southward across Nevada and California,
    eventually evolving into a second low over the southern
    Arizona/northwestern Mexico vicinity through latter stages of the
    period.

    At the surface, the primary feature will be a low initially near the
    southern Texas coast. This low is forecast to deepen gradually
    through the day, as it shifts north-northeastward into southeastern
    Texas. Overnight, the northward drift will continue, with the low
    reaching eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas and occluding through the end of
    the period.

    As the low shifts northward, low-level theta-e advection off the
    Gulf of Mexico will occur across the lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf
    Coast states, ahead of a cold front which will sweep eastward across
    Louisiana and Mississippi through the second half of the period.

    ...Southeast Texas to Alabama and western parts of Florida
    Panhandle...
    Showers and scattered thunderstorms will be ongoing at the start of
    the period across portions of central and eastern Texas, including a
    few stronger/possibly severe storms in the vicinity of the middle
    Texas Coastal Plain. With time, as the surface low deepens and
    shifts northward into southeastern Texas, continued influx of higher
    theta-e air and very limited heating will permit some
    intensification of convection to occur, as storms spread across
    southeastern Texas and into Louisiana. Aiding the convective intensification/organization will be an increase in both low-level
    veering, and deep-layer shear, to the east and northeast of the low
    as it begins to occlude. Along with potential for locally damaging
    winds and possibly hail, risk for tornadoes will increase, as shear
    becomes increasingly favorable for low-level storm rotation.

    With time, threat will diminish from west to east as a cold front
    trailing from the northward-moving low advances across east Texas,
    and into Louisiana during the evening. Greatest tornado risk
    appears likely to evolve from late afternoon through mid evening,
    both ahead of the cold front across southeastern Texas and western
    Louisiana, and near a northward-moving Gulf warm front from central
    Louisiana into southwestern Mississippi.

    Overnight, some risk will spread into Alabama, and eventually
    western portions of the Florida Panhandle, where potential for
    locally gusty winds and a tornado or two may linger through the end
    of the period.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS INTO THE SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH
    CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and a
    marginal tornado threat will be possible on Friday from the Florida
    Panhandle northward to the Ohio Valley and northeastward into South
    Carolina.

    ...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys....
    An upper-level low will move through the mid Mississippi Valley on
    Friday as southwest mid-level flow remains over the Southeast and
    Carolinas. At the surface, a low will be located in the lower Ohio
    Valley at the start of the period with a cold front extending
    southward across middle Tennessee into western Alabama. This front
    will move eastward during the day. Thunderstorms appear likely to be
    ongoing along and just ahead of the front Friday morning with this
    convection moving eastward across Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama
    into early afternoon. Although surface dewpoints ahead of the front
    are forecast to be in the lower to mid 60s F from middle Tennessee
    southward, instability should remain weak along the moist axis due
    to abundant cloud cover and minimal surface heating.

    At mid-levels, a 60 to 80 kt jet is forecast to move northeastward
    across the mid Mississippi Valley during the day. This feature will
    create strong deep-layer shear profiles which will support a
    marginal severe threat along and just ahead of the cold front. The
    greatest threat will likely be in the late morning and early
    afternoon from western Kentucky southward into middle Tennessee,
    before the mid-level jet moves away from the moist sector. A
    marginal wind damage/tornado threat may develop with the stronger
    rotating cells.

    ...Southeast/South Carolina...
    An upper-level trough will move northeastward across the Gulf Coast
    States Friday morning as a cold front advances eastward across the
    region. Thunderstorms will be possible on Friday across the moist
    sector, from near the front in Alabama eastward across Georgia and
    South Carolina. Instability across the moist sector is forecast to
    remain weak. However, strong deep-layer shear will be in place due
    to influence of a mid-level jet to the northwest. This combined with
    strong low-level flow will create conditions supportive of
    marginally severe wind gusts. A marginal tornado threat will also be
    possible with cells that rotate.

    Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and a
    marginal tornado threat will be possible on Friday from the Florida
    Panhandle northward to the Ohio Valley and northeastward into South
    Carolina.

    ...Synopsis...
    Split flow aloft will persist across the U.S. Friday. An upper low
    in the southern stream -- initially forecast over Oklahoma -- will
    shift quickly northeastward into the Midwest with time, gradually
    becoming re-absorbed into the northern stream of westerlies through
    the end of the period. Meanwhile, a second low in the southern
    stream -- initially over northwestern Mexico -- will progress
    steadily east-northeastward into the southern Plains through the
    period.

    At the surface, a low over the eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas vicinity
    Friday morning will move northeastward across the Ozarks through the
    day, and then continue northeastward through the evening and
    overnight, reaching the Lower Great Lakes Saturday morning. A cold
    front trailing from this low is forecast to advance slowly eastward
    across the central Gulf Coast states/Mid South region through the
    first half of the period, and then approach/reach the central and
    southern Appalachian crest by the end of the period. East of the
    mountains, a cold air dam/wedge front lying across northern Georgia
    and South Carolina will linger in place through the day, before
    weakening overnight as low-level southerly flow evolves across the
    East Coast states ahead of the advancing cold front.

    ...Kentucky/Tennessee south to the Florida Panhandle...
    Showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the
    start of the period, from near the Missouri/Illinois border
    south-southeast across western Tennessee and into eastern
    Mississippi/western Alabama, in the vicinity of the cold front.
    Ahead of the front, weak lapse rates and widespread cloud cover --
    plus scattered, warm-advection-induced convection will substantially
    limit warm-sector instability. Still, favorably strong deep-layer
    flow, and veering in the low-level wind field -- particularly with
    northward extent -- will support potential for a few
    organized/rotating storms. While severe potential should remain
    subdued given the thermodynamic deficiencies, a couple of locally
    damaging gusts, or a tornado or two, cannot be ruled out.

    ...Georgia and South Carolina vicinity...
    Showers and scattered thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing over
    portions of the area at the start of the period, and will persist
    through the afternoon and into the evening, within a persistent zone
    of warm advection ahead of the cold front. Given weak lapse rates
    and widespread precipitation and associated cloud cover, minimal destabilization potential is noted. Still, with strong deep-layer
    flow across the region, a few stronger storms -- capable of gusty
    winds possibly nearing or reaching severe levels, may occur. In
    addition, limited potential for a tornado or two may also evolve,
    perhaps greatest near the remnant wedge front where low-level
    vorticity would be maximized. Severe risk will eventually diminish
    into the overnight hours, as weak short-wave ridging -- and
    associated large-scale subsidence/warming aloft evolves across the
    Southeast through the end of the period.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected on Saturday. A strong storm may graze
    the Outer Banks of North Carolina early Sunday morning.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A strong upper trough will move from the Southern Plains 12Z
    Saturday across the lower Mississippi Valley by 00Z and
    northeastward across the Appalachians overnight. Meanwhile, a
    fast-moving, compact shortwave trough will proceed east across New
    England during the day.

    At the surface, a cold front from the eastern wave will move
    southward toward the NC/SC border by 00Z, while another front
    lingers from central GA into the FL Panhandle. Preceding the
    stronger trough, temperatures aloft will not be particularly cool,
    which when combined with only lower to possibly mid 60s F dewpoints
    will result in little SBCAPE.

    Storms are expected to be ongoing near the front early Saturday
    across the eastern FL Panhandle, with further development of rain
    and thunderstorms across GA and the Carolinas during the day.
    Forecast soundings indicate very poor lapse rates, so much so that
    there may be minimal lightning. As such, severe weather is not
    expected there.

    Overnight and as the upper trough swings northeast across the
    Appalachians, dewpoints may rise slightly across far eastern NC in
    response to a weak low developing there. Point soundings near the
    coast suggest surface based parcels may not be far off, but the most
    likely scenario is for the stronger convection to remain offshore.
    If later model runs suggest better surface-based destabilization
    inland than currently forecast, low severe probabilities may be
    considered for far eastern NC as shear will become strong.

    ...Discussion...
    While an upper low/trough moves rapidly across New England during
    the first half of the period, and a short-wave trough moves across
    the Intermountain West, the primary feature aloft will be a
    low/trough initially residing over the central and southern Plains.
    This feature will shift east-northeastward Saturday, crossing the
    middle and lower Mississippi Valley during the second half of the
    period and reaching the Midwest/Ohio Valley region late.

    At the surface, a cold front is forecast to lie across the Carolinas/Georgia/the Florida Panhandle at the start of the period,
    and should linger in place as the aforementioned upper system
    advances. As the southern fringe of this system brushes the
    Southeast, a weak surface frontal wave may evolve, moving across the
    eastern Carolinas through the second half of the period.

    Very weak instability is expected near and ahead of the surface
    front, given weak lapse rates. While ascent will be sufficient to
    support showers and a few thunderstorms, particularly as the front
    wave evolves, the lack of more favorable instability and only modest
    shear should preclude inland severe potential through the period.
    Elsewhere, severe weather is not expected.

    The main feature of interest Sunday will be an upper low that will

    low will exist over eastern NC at 12Z Sunday, with a cold front
    extending southward into northern FL. The front will move offshore
    by midday, with rapid drying across the remainder of the Southeast.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
    U.S., Sunday through Sunday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Within one branch of split westerlies emanating from the
    mid-latitude eastern Pacific, it appears that general large-scale
    mid-level troughing will undergo substantive evolution, broadening
    while shifting east of the southern Great Plains through the
    Atlantic Seaboard. As it translates eastward, initially prominent
    mid-level subtropical ridging centered over the Caribbean and
    Bahamas will become increasingly suppressed through this period.

    As a couple of short wave perturbations embedded within this regime
    progress across and dig to the lee of the Rockies, one significant
    downstream impulse, emerging from the southern Great Plains, is
    forecast to accelerate across the Ohio Valley through the northern
    Mid Atlantic/southern New England coast vicinity Sunday through
    Sunday night. Models indicate that this will support significant
    surface cyclogenesis along a frontal zone across and northeast of
    the southern Mid Atlantic coast. While the warm conveyor of this
    developing system may emanate from the southern Gulf of Mexico, it
    appears that it will be confined to a narrow plume across the
    Florida Peninsula into areas near or just east of the southern Mid
    Atlantic coast by 12Z Sunday, before continuing to spread eastward.

    In the wake of this cyclone, generally dry and/or stable conditions
    are expected to prevail across most areas east of the Rockies, and
    into the Intermountain West. A plume of moist air emanating from
    the subtropical Pacific does appear likely to overspread the Pacific
    coast (from central California northward), ahead of a cold front
    trailing a deep, occluding cyclone migrating toward the British
    Columbia coast. However, relatively warm mid level air on the
    western flank of building mid-level ridging shifting inland of the
    Pacific coast is expected to preclude an appreciable risk for
    thunderstorms through at least this period.

    ...Southeast...
    Showers are possible Sunday within the narrow plume of moisture
    overspreading the Florida Peninsula. However, it appears that this
    will be mostly elevated above a stable boundary-layer, with
    relatively warm layers aloft suppressing potential for
    thunderstorms,

    By 12Z Sunday, model output generally suggests that the primary risk
    for thunderstorm activity will be within the moist unstable boundary
    layer off the North Carolina coast, However, weak elevated
    instability may linger ahead of the developing surface low near
    coastal areas, perhaps providing support for convection capable of
    producing a flash or two of lightning early Sunday.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few low-topped thunderstorms will be possible Monday across the
    coastal Pacific Northwest and into parts of northern California.

    ...Synopsis...
    Strong cooling aloft/height falls will occur through 00Z over WA, OR
    and northern CA as a shortwave trough moves ashore. Convergence near
    a cold front will be maximized along the OR and northern CA coastal
    areas, and this is where low-topped thunderstorms are most likely.
    Forecast soundings indicate MLCAPE around 100 J/kg eventually
    developing over southwest OR and coastal northern CA as lapse rates
    steepen with the rapid cooling aloft. Low-level winds will likely
    veer by this time, resulting in long hodographs. Gusty winds are
    possible with the heavier convection, but severe chances appear low
    at this time.

    Elsewhere, offshore surface winds will result in stable conditions
    over much of the central and eastern states with high pressure at
    the surface.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorm activity is possible along Pacific Northwest
    coastal areas, mainly late Monday afternoon, with lightning also
    possible along the northern Sierra Nevada.

    ...Discussion...
    Much of North America will remain under the influence of branching
    westerlies, downstream of a persistent strong zonal jet across the
    southern mid-latitude and subtropical Pacific, which may nose as far
    east as 140-145 W latitude during this period. Stronger surface
    cyclogenesis associated with this feature will remain focused across
    the northeastern Pacific, but an emerging mid-level perturbation and
    associated occluding surface front are forecast to progress inland
    of the U.S. Pacific coast Monday through Monday night. The front
    appears to be preceded by a plume of moisture emanating from the
    subtropical latitudes, and models suggest that moisture influx will
    become maximized across the northern California coast into the
    northern Sierra Nevada during the day Monday, before becoming
    cut-off by the inland advancing cold front.

    Downstream, it appears that mid-level troughing may undergo some
    further amplification east of the Mississippi valley into the
    western Atlantic. This will include a number of embedded short wave perturbations, including one advancing east of the New England
    coast, where it will provide support for further deepening of an
    offshore surface cyclone. As this occurs, the trailing surface cold
    front, and narrow plume of moisture return emanating from the
    southern Gulf of Mexico, are expected to shift south of the Florida
    Peninsula and Keys, with considerable further mid/low-level drying
    across much of the Gulf of Mexico. This will contribute to the
    maintenance of generally dry and/or stable conditions across most
    areas east of the Rockies.

    ...Pacific Coast states...
    Models suggest that the development of thermodynamic profiles most
    conducive to convection capable of producing lightning will be late
    Monday afternoon, around 05/00Z (plus or minus an hour or two),
    along the Oregon into Washington coast. It appears that this will
    take place within the post-frontal regime, and coincident with the
    inland progression of the mid-level thermal trough axis (with temps
    at or below -30C at 500 mb).

    Otherwise, models suggest that mid-level cooling may steepen lapse
    rates sufficiently to support convection capable of producing
    lightning within the moist pre-frontal regime across northern
    California coastal areas Monday afternoon. Convection capable of
    producing lightning may also develop into the northern Sierra
    Nevada, aided by intensifying pre-frontal lift supported by
    low/mid-level warm advection and orography, which may become focused
    near or to the west of the Tahoe Valley vicinity by 05/00Z.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    EAST TEXAS AND INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon and night
    from eastern Texas into Louisiana. A few stronger storms are
    possible over southeast Texas during the afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    While one upper trough continues to depart from the Northeast
    Wednesday, and a second moves into/across the Pacific Northwest, the
    main feature aloft with respect to any possible severe weather will
    be a sharp trough emerging into the Plains. As vorticity within the
    southern portion of this trough -- initially crossing the southern
    high Plains -- advances, a closed low may evolve overnight, and
    shift across the Arklatex area by the end of the period.

    At the surface, weak cyclogenesis is expected over east Texas during
    the day, as the aforementioned upper system evolves. By late
    afternoon/early evening, a weak low should reside near the Sabine
    River Valley, while a trailing front sweeps eastward out of east
    Texas into western Louisiana and the western Gulf. By the end of
    the period, the low should reach southeastern Louisiana.

    ...East Texas/far southwestern Louisiana...
    As the upper trough advances/evolves, and a weak low develops over
    east Texas, some low-level theta-e advection and weak surface
    heating will allow modest destabilization to occur, with mixed-layer
    CAPE of a few hundred J/kg expected in the small inland warm sector
    during the afternoon. Elevated showers and thunderstorms are
    expected to develop during the morning over the northeastern
    Texas/Arklatex vicinity in a zone of pre-frontal warm advection,
    followed by more substantial convective development near -- and just
    behind -- an evolving cold front that will move across the area as
    the surface low develops. A few of the strongest storms may produce
    gusty winds, with a brief tornado also possible. The greatest risk
    would appear to exist over the southeastern Texas vicinity, where
    the southern fringe of more favorable low-level shear overlaps with
    the northern extent of the CAPE maximum -- particularly if any
    cellular, surface-based pre-frontal convection can evolve ahead of
    the low/front.

    Overnight, a slight/gradual stabilization of the low-level airmass
    is expected, which should allow any lingering severe potential to
    wane, though showers and storms will continue moving across Louisiana/Mississippi through the end of the period.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
    SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA AND AREAS JUST OFFSHORE FROM THE ALABAMA AND

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible Thursday across the Southeast, with very low/conditional threat for a brief tornado mainly from the mouth of
    the Mississippi eastward to just south of the Florida Panhandle
    coast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A complex/amplified flow field aloft is progged over the U.S. this
    period, with the main feature of interest being an upper low that
    will advance eastward across the southeastern quarter of the country
    through the period. Elsewhere, a second/substantial trough crossing
    the eastern Pacific will near the Pacific Northwest Coast late.

    At the surface, a weak low will shift eastward from the central Gulf
    Coast area during the day, and then across north Florida and into
    the southeastern Atlantic overnight. Meanwhile, a cold front --
    trailing from a low that will remain offshore -- will reach the
    Pacific Northwest Coast overnight.

    ...Far southeastern LA east along the Florida Panhandle Coast...
    Strong low-level warm advection, atop a stable boundary layer, is
    expected across the Southeast Thursday, as the upper cyclone and
    attendant/weak surface low advance. While favorably strong/veering
    flow through the lower troposphere will precede the low, it appears increasingly unlikely that any appreciable surface-based CAPE will
    develop inland. Thus, the MRGL risk area is being adjusted
    southward, largely confined to areas just offshore, where a brief
    tornado cannot be ruled out.

    An upper-level low will move eastward across the southern

    of the southern tier of the U.S. In response, surface high pressure
    will build into the Great Plains and Gulf Coast States, limiting

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms may occur late Saturday night over parts of
    central/south Texas, with isolated lightning flashes possible over
    coastal Oregon as well. Severe weather is not expected.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough/low is forecast to move southeastward across the
    Four Corners region on Saturday, eventually reaching the southern
    High Plains late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Strong
    lift preceding this feature will encourage precipitation to develop
    across parts of the southern Plains. However, very little low-level
    moisture return is expected to occur ahead of the upper trough/low
    owing to a prior frontal intrusion over the Gulf of Mexico. Still,
    some guidance suggests there may be just enough elevated MUCAPE
    (100-250 J/kg) in the presence of a southerly low-level jet to
    support isolated thunderstorms across parts of central/south TX,
    mainly after 09Z. Even though deep layer shear will strengthen
    across this region, the weak instability will greatly limit
    organized severe thunderstorm potential.

    Elsewhere, cold temperatures aloft associated with an approaching
    upper trough may support very weak elevated instability and perhaps
    isolated lightning flashes across parts of coastal OR late Saturday
    night.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough with cyclonically curved speed max will move east
    across TX and toward the lower MS Valley on Sunday, providing strong
    winds aloft and large-scale lift. Ahead of this trough,
    east/northeast surface winds will maintain a cool/stable air mass
    with high pressure, preventing any appreciable destabilization along
    the Gulf Coast. Models clearly show the surface low remaining over
    the Gulf of Mexico, with little if any SBCAPE over land. Despite
    this, southerly winds and moisture advection above the surface will
    likely result in weak elevated instability, supporting at least
    isolated elevated thunderstorms across much of southern and eastern
    TX and perhaps southern LA.

    A closed synoptic upper low centered over the mid-MS Valley Friday

    Gulf Coast during the morning. A secondary low is expected to
    develop near the mid-Atlantic coast, and the surface cold front will
    continue to shift east through the period, eventually moving
    offshore the Atlantic seaboard overnight.

    Moisture return ahead of the front will be minimal. However, bands
    of showers are likely across parts of the southeastern states to the Mid-Atlantic. Most guidance suggests a narrow corridor of 50s F
    dewpoints will stretch from the FL peninsula northward along the
    SC/NC coasts during the evening. A few lightning flashes are
    possible near the Outer Banks of NC during the evening, but most

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Mid-level flow will become zonal across the southern tier of the
    U.S. on Monday as an upper-level low moves south-southeastward off
    the coast of southern California. At the surface, high pressure will
    be dominant across the Southeast, limiting moisture return into the
    southern U.S. This will keep a dry airmass in place across much of
    the nation, limiting thunderstorm potential Monday and Monday night.

    ...Discussion...

    The synoptic pattern will undergo transition as an upper trough
    amplifies over the western U.S. Monday, and by 12Z Tuesday this
    feature will cut off over the Great Basin. Farther downstream across
    the eastern states, quasi-zonal flow will become established in the
    wake of a shortwave trough that will move off the Atlantic Seaboard
    during the afternoon. At the surface a cold front initially situated
    across the central Plains 12Z Monday will advance southeast. By the
    end of the period this front will extend from the Great Lakes into
    the lower MS Valley and northeast through southwest TX.

    Partially modified Gulf moisture will with dewpoints in the 50s to
    low 60s will return through south and central TX Monday evening and
    overnight supported by a strengthening southerly low level jet. Very
    weak mid-level lapse rates will limit the potential for substantial destabilization. Nevertheless, a shallow unstable layer will evolve
    with equilibrium levels near or below 10000 ft. Scattered showers
    will likely develop along the cold front and within the evolving
    warm advection regime farther south across TX. The depth of the
    convective layer will remain well below the threshold needed for
    thunderstorms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday afternoon and evening
    across a portion of south Texas as well as near the coast of
    southern California.

    ...South Texas...

    Low-amplitude shortwave ridging aloft will gradually build across TX
    Tuesday. A weak vorticity maximum may move through the upper ridge
    during the evening. A cold front initially from the lower MS Valley
    through south central and southwest TX will advance slowly south.
    Partially modified Gulf air with dewpoints generally in the low 60s
    F will advect through the pre-frontal warm sector. Scattered showers
    are expected to develop, primarily in the frontal zone. Forecast
    soundings indicate presence of a capping inversion near 700 mb which
    will serve as a limiting factor for deeper convection, especially
    given weak forcing aloft and tendency for the ridge to build.
    Nevertheless a few deeper updrafts with potential for isolated
    lightning flashes cannot be ruled out, especially during the
    evening.

    ...Southern California Coast...

    An upper low will move southward from NV and southern CA early
    Tuesday to off the southern CA coast during the evening. Cool
    temperatures aloft promoting 7-7.5 mid-level lapse rates and
    vorticity maxima rotating through the upper low circulation will
    promote the development of mid-level convection. Some of these
    updrafts might become deep enough for a few lightning flashes near
    the coast, but most thunderstorm activity will remain offshore.

    The upper low over the lower Colorado River Valley/northwest Mexico
    will weaken and become an open wave as it progresses east/northeast

    Cooling temperatures aloft near the compact low/shortwave trough
    will result in steep midlevel lapse rates and enough instability to
    support isolated lightning flashes near the Colorado Valley and into
    southern AZ.

    Further east, a southern and northern stream jet over the TN
    Valley/southern states and the Midwest will merge as a broad trough
    envelopes the eastern half of the country. Modest cooling aloft as
    the upper southwestern upper trough approaches during the evening
    and nighttime hours will allow for modest instability across
    portions of north TX into the lower MS Valley. A few lightning
    flashes could accompany showers during the later half of the
    forecast period.

    No severe weather is expected across the U.S. Friday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper low and attendant trough near coastal northern CA at the
    beginning of the period will pivot east/southeast through period,
    emerging over the Great Basin and much of the rest of the southwest
    U.S. by Saturday morning. Surface low pressure will develop over
    parts of CA into NV, bringing a Pacific front east/southeast across
    CA. Showers will accompany this system much of the period.
    Steepening lapse rates due to cooling aloft should result in
    sufficient instability to support a few thunderstorms around the San
    Francisco area and surrounding hills.

    Further east, broad, weak cyclonically-curved upper level flow will
    dominate east of the Mississippi River. A weak mid/upper shortwave
    trough over the southern Plains Friday morning will eject eastward
    across the lower MS Valley during the afternoon, and weaken as it
    continues east across the remainder of the Southeast. A weak surface
    cold front will reside near the Gulf Coast during the morning and
    slowly sag southward through Saturday morning. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Friday morning and could
    persist toward midday across parts of southern LA/MS. This activity
    will exist in a weakly unstable environment with any thunderstorm
    being undercut by the front, limiting any severe potential.

    An upper shortwave trough, embedded in the larger-scale western U.S.
    trough will dig along the CA coast during the day on Saturday,
    before ejecting eastward over northwest Mexico and the lower
    Colorado Valley. Forecast soundings near the southwest CA coast and
    nearby mountains indicated cooling temperatures aloft, resulting in
    steepening lapse rates. Instability will remain low, generally less
    than 150 J/kg MUCAPE, but sufficient given strong forcing, and
    isolated thunderstorms are possible.

    Further east, an upper trough will move offshore from the Atlantic
    coast, replaced by a weak upper ridge across the eastern half of the
    CONUS. Surface high pressure over the Midwest will slowly shift east
    toward the Mid-Atlantic/central Appalachians, mitigating much in the
    way of Gulf return flow. As such, dry and stable conditions will
    persist for much of the period, and thunderstorms are not expected

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    NORTH TEXAS...SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms -- capable of producing hail -- may occur over
    portions of North Texas, southern Oklahoma, and far western Arkansas
    Sunday evening/overnight.

    ...Synopsis...
    While weakly anticyclonic/westerly flow will prevail over the
    eastern half of the country Sunday and Sunday night, a short-wave
    trough -- embedded within broader/long-wave cyclonic flow over the
    West -- is forecast to eject northeastward from the Desert
    Southwest, reaching the Kansas/Oklahoma area by the end of the
    period. Meanwhile, persistent large-scale cyclonic flow will be
    maintained over the west, as elongated short-wave troughing digs
    southeastward along the western NOAM coast.

    At the surface, a rather ill-defined Pacific cold front crossing the
    Desert Southwest will become a bit sharper with time, as surface
    frontogenesis increases in a north-south zone encompassing roughly
    the central third of Texas. By the end of the period, a cold front
    should extend from a surface low over the eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas
    vicinity, south-southwestward across East and Deep South Texas.

    Showers and occasional/embedded lighting will accompany the advance
    of the upper trough across the Southwest/Four Corners states, while
    more robust/widespread storms evolve mainly during the second half
    of the period, in a zone of elevated warm advection over the
    southern Plains vicinity.

    ...Portions of North Texas/southern Oklahoma/western Arkansas...
    Current indications continue to suggest that despite low-level
    theta-e advection, a capped boundary layer should persist across the
    northern and eastern Texas warm sector, as the cold front
    sharpens/shifts eastward across the southern Plains. Still, as QG
    ascent increases across north Texas and into Oklahoma with time,
    expect elevated storms to erupt -- predominantly after dark --
    across this area. Moderately steep mid-level lapse rates
    anticipated, and presence of strong west-southwesterly flow
    increasing with height through the cloud-bearing layer, suggest that
    a few stronger storms -- possibly exhibiting mid-level updraft
    rotation -- will eventually evolve. As such, hail risk is apparent,
    as reflected by the inclusion of a severe weather area.

    At this time, risk for surface-based storms -- and thus potential
    for damaging winds and even a tornado -- appears quite low, mainly
    due to the likelihood that aforementioned capping hinders
    surface-based development. However, should ascent accompanying
    passage of the front prove sufficient to force a band of
    near-surface-based storms, low-end risks for these additional
    hazards would be possible. This appears to be an unlikely scenario
    at this time, and thus is reflected by the lack of wind/tornado
    probabilities. However, should hints that a possibly weaker cap, or
    stronger ascent, may evolve across the area, appropriate forecast
    adjustments in later outlooks may be considered.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH-CENTRAL
    TX AND SOUTH-CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST OK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms capable of producing hail, damaging wind gusts,
    and perhaps even a brief tornado may occur over portions of North
    Texas, southern/eastern Oklahoma, and Arkansas Sunday evening
    through early Monday morning.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau...
    Based on recent satellite imagery, a shortwave trough currently
    extends from the western Great Basin southwestward across central
    CA. This shortwave is expected to continue gradually southeastward
    today before then pivoting more eastward late tonight/early tomorrow
    morning. The shortwave is then forecast to become more progressive
    as it moves across the Southwest on Sunday and into the southern
    Plains on Sunday night. A second shortwave trough, accompanied by
    strong upper flow through its western periphery, is expected to drop
    southward along the CA coast Sunday evening/overnight. Progression
    of this second shortwave will help maintain broad upper troughing
    across the western CONUS into early Monday.

    Modest moisture return is anticipated throughout the warm sector in
    place over southern Plains ahead of the lead shortwave. Consensus
    among the guidance brings low 60s surface dewpoints to the Red River
    by late Sunday evening. Low-level stability should preclude
    afternoon/evening storms across much of TX. A few stronger updrafts
    may develop amid persistent warm-air advection during the
    afternoon/evening from northeast TX northeastward across eastern OK
    and across AR. Modest instability should limit both updraft depth
    and longevity, but strong vertical shear could result in a few
    updrafts strong enough to produce hail.

    Greater storm coverage (and attendant severe potential) is expected
    late Sunday night into early Monday morning as the surface low
    associated with the shortwave moves from northwest TX into northeast
    OK. Highest thunderstorm coverage is currently anticipated along and
    just north of the surface low track. Instability will be modest, but
    very strong vertical shear could result in a few stronger updrafts
    capable of hail. Additionally, low-probability potential exists for
    a few surface-based storms in the vicinity of front from northeast
    TX into far southeast OK/far southwest AR. Given the strong
    low/mid-level flow, a threat for damaging wind gusts and perhaps
    even a brief tornado could accompany any surface-based storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EAST TEXAS NORTH-NORTHEAST TO THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY AREA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to perhaps locally severe storms may linger into Monday
    from East Texas to the mid Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    As elongated upper troughing along the West Coast digs
    south-southeastward, reinforcing the mean long-wave trough over the
    West, a weakening feature -- ejecting from the western trough today
    -- will shift northeastward across the central Plains and into the
    Midwest. East and southeast of this feature, low-amplitude ridging
    will prevail.

    At the surface, a low initially expected across Oklahoma will move east-northeastward into the Ohio Valley, gradually filling in
    conjunction with the weakening of the upper system. A cold front
    trailing from this system -- across eastern Oklahoma and East Texas
    at the start of the period -- will similarly become more ill-defined
    with time, as it moves across the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys
    and sags into the central Gulf Coast States overnight.

    ...East Texas to the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio
    Rivers...
    Showers and embedded thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the
    start of the period from eastern portions of the central and
    southern Plains, eastward to the lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.
    Early in the period, a few robust storms may persist into the
    morning and possibly midday hours, along with local/attendant risk
    for primarily hail. With time however, as the surface and upper
    systems weaken and shift east-northeastward, a less unstable warm
    sector with eastward extent should yield steadily diminishing
    convective intensity through the afternoon and into the evening
    hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    TX INTO THE MID MS AND LOWER OH VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to perhaps locally severe storms may linger into Monday
    from East Texas to the mid Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    Well-defined shortwave trough currently over southern CA/northern
    Baja will move eastward across the Southwest and into southern High
    Plains today. This wave is forecast to have transitioned to more of
    an open, negatively tilted system by early Monday, likely extending
    from the central High Plains southeastward into western OK Monday
    morning. This wave is then expected to continue quickly
    northeastward throughout the day, losing amplitude as it moves
    through the mid MS Valley and Upper Great Lakes. A second shortwave
    trough, now visible on satellite imagery off the Pacific Northwest
    Coast, is expected to continue southeastward along the CA coast
    before pivoting eastward over southern CA Monday evening. Overall
    upper pattern will favor continued western CONUS troughing
    throughout the period, with a long fetch of moderate to strong
    southwesterly flow aloft stretching from the Baja Peninsula into the
    OH Valley.

    Surface low associated with the lead shortwave trough will likely be
    centered over northeast OK early Monday morning, with a cold front
    extending southward into northeast TX and then back southwestward
    into the TX Hill Country. A warm front is also expected to extend
    eastward from the low into western TN. This low will likely occlude
    throughout the day as the overall system weakens, but secondary
    cyclogenesis is forecast at the triple point, with the resulting low
    moving across KY Monday night.

    ...Northeast TX/Southeast OK into Lower OH Valley...
    Pre-frontal warm sector will likely be characterized by low to mid
    60s dewpoints early Monday from northeast TX into the Mid-South.
    Residual EML is expected to be in place, keeping the potential for surface-based in the immediate vicinity of the front and/or triple
    point. Strength of the vertical shear suggests that more
    robust/persistent updrafts should be able to acquire rotation, with
    the elevated storms capable of hail and the surface-based storms
    capable of all severe hazards, but primarily hail. As the day
    progresses, convergence along the front will wane, likely
    contributing to diminishing storm strength and coverage. The
    potential for surface-based inflow is also expected to lessen, but
    there is still some chance for damaging wind gusts near the triple
    point, where low-level ascent will be greatest, and for hail north
    of the warm front into evening.

    ...MS/AL...
    Moisture advection is expected throughout the day, with mid 60s
    dewpoints possibly reaching as far north as BHM prior to FROPA. This
    increased moisture and resulting increase in buoyancy could
    contribute to stronger updrafts and higher storm coverage along and
    ahead of front as it moves through MS and AL Monday evening. This
    increased moisture could also result in higher potential for
    surface-based storm inflow. High resolution guidance varies on this
    potential, so confidence in enough coverage to merit severe
    probabilities is too low to introduce an area with this outlook.
    However, probabilities may be needed in later outlooks if potential
    for even severe coverage increases.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY
    AFTERNOON OR EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA...THE
    WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong thunderstorms may impact parts of the eastern
    Gulf Coast region late Tuesday afternoon or evening, accompanied by
    at least some risk for severe weather.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that there will be considerable amplification within
    the mid/upper flow regime across the mid-latitude Pacific through
    this period, including the development of sharpening ridging along
    an axis near 160 W longitude. To the east of this ridge axis, a
    vigorous digging short wave trough is forecast to contribute to
    deepening large-scale troughing across the eastern Pacific, and into
    the Pacific coast vicinity by 12Z Wednesday. It appears that this
    will be accompanied by a deep occluding surface cyclone, with the
    occluding front advancing inland across the Oregon and northern
    California coast late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night. The
    front may be preceded by generally modest moisture return, mostly
    across northern California coastal areas late Tuesday afternoon and
    evening, and the leading edge of the mid-level cold core associated
    with the short wave trough may overspread areas to the west of the
    Cascades late Tuesday night. However, forecast soundings remain
    suggestive that potential for thunderstorm activity is negligible
    through at least this period.

    Meanwhile, with the approach of the upstream perturbation, a
    significant short wave impulse currently digging into the Southwest
    is forecast to remain progressive. Models indicate that this
    feature will accelerate across the southern Rockies through south
    central portions of the Great Plains by late Tuesday night. At the
    same time, a downstream perturbation, becoming sheared within an
    increasingly confluent regime, is expected to be forced eastward/east-southeastward across southern portions of the Great
    Lakes region through southern New England.

    In response to these developments, in lower-levels, it appears that
    an initial surface cyclone will weaken over the upper Ohio Valley,
    while secondary surface cyclogenesis takes place along a warm
    frontal zone off the Mid Atlantic coast. As this occurs, a trailing
    cold front likely will advance southeast of southern Appalachians
    and become quasi-stationary west-southwestward across north central
    Gulf coastal areas by late Tuesday night. The front appears likely
    to stall generally near the northern periphery of subtropical
    ridging (centered over the Caribbean), which may maintain strength
    through this period, with a continuing return flow of moisture
    around it, along and south of the frontal zone.

    ...Southeast...
    Elevated moisture return above the frontal zone will contribute to
    weak destabilization and thermodynamic profiles marginally
    supportive of occasional weak thunderstorm activity, largely aided
    by forcing for ascent supported by the progressive short wave
    impulses.

    Warm mid-levels beneath the subtropical ridging, to the south of the
    frontal zone, seem likely to minimize thunderstorm development.
    However, models do suggest a window of opportunity for
    boundary-layer based storm development in a narrow corridor
    along/ahead of the surface front across parts of the western Florida
    Panhandle, southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia late
    Tuesday afternoon and evening. In the wake of the lead short wave
    impulse, and in advance of the perturbation emerging from the
    Southwest, models suggest that mid-levels may remain sufficiently
    cool, as large-scale ascent associated with low-level warm advection
    begins to increase, to allow for scattered thunderstorm development.
    In the presence of 30-50+ kt west-southwesterly flow in the
    850-500 mb layer, mixed-layer CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg
    appears possible and may contribute to strong to severe thunderstorm development capable of producing potential damaging wind gusts
    before diminishing Tuesday evening.

    ,,,Southern Rockies into adjacent portions of Great Plains...
    Models suggest that weak destabilization is possible across the
    higher terrain, and at mid-levels across adjacent portions of the
    high plains, beneath the mid-level cold pool associated with the
    impulse emerging from the Southwest. It appears that thermodynamic
    profiles may become at least marginally conducive to convection
    capable of producing lightning, but any such activity probably will
    be fairly sparse, with probabilities generally near the minimum
    threshold for a categorical thunderstorm outlook.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY ACROSS
    PARTS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong thunderstorms may impact parts of southern
    Georgia Wednesday, accompanied by at least some risk for severe
    weather.

    ...Synopsis...
    One belt of westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific
    appears likely to maintain a prominent influence across the U.S.
    through this period. Across much of the eastern Pacific, models
    indicate that embedded mid/upper ridging will remain amplified, with
    downstream troughing undergoing further amplification/sharpening
    just west of the Pacific coast, while ridging builds across the
    Rockies and Great Plains. As this occurs, broadly confluent flow
    eastward through the Atlantic Seaboard (between the blocked regime
    across eastern Canada and the prominent subtropical ridge over the
    Caribbean), appears likely to transition from westerly to
    west-northwesterly. Embedded within this regime, after turning
    eastward across the middle Mississippi Valley during the day
    Wednesday, a significant remnant impulse emerging from the Southwest
    is forecast to dig into southern Mid Atlantic coastal areas by 12Z
    Thursday.

    In lower levels, models indicate that an initially stalled surface
    frontal zone, across the western Atlantic and Southeast into
    northwestern Gulf of Mexico, will provide the focus for significant cyclogenesis with the approach of the digging short wave impulse.
    While it appears that surface wave development may commence across
    the southeastern Alabama/western Florida Panhandle/southwestern
    Georgia vicinity by early Wednesday, guidance suggests that this
    will remain fairly weak until Wednesday evening, generally well east
    of the Carolina coast. As stronger surface cyclogenesis proceeds, a
    cold front will surge through much of Florida and the eastern Gulf
    of Mexico by late Wednesday night, accompanied by considerable
    lower/mid tropospheric drying.

    ...Southeast...
    Along the northern periphery of the subtropical ridging, lower/mid
    tropospheric lapse rates will be generally weak, at least initially.
    But, conditions along the surface front will still be moist, with a
    narrow plume of higher precipitable water content (emanating from
    southwestern Gulf of Mexico) initially arcing northeastward along
    and north of the frontal zone, before being shunted southward.

    Within the warm sector of the developing frontal wave, it appears
    that surface dew points in the mid 60s may contribute to weak
    boundary-layer CAPE up to 500 + J/kg, across southern Georgia by
    Wednesday afternoon. On the southern fringe of the stronger
    mid-level height falls, which may glance areas as far south as the Georgia/Florida border vicinity, this may become supportive of
    scattered vigorous thunderstorm development. Coinciding with
    strengthening of west-southwesterly flow to 40-50 kt around the 850
    mb level, enlarging low-level hodographs could become supportive of
    supercell structures posing a risk for damaging wind gusts and/or an
    isolated tornado or two.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across parts of coastal and interior
    central California, mainly Thursday night, but the risk for severe
    weather appears negligible.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that the amplified regime across the eastern Pacific
    will undergo transition during this period, with initially sharp
    mid/upper ridging (between 140-160 W longitude) becoming suppressed
    by the first in a series of digging short wave impulses. As this
    occurs, fairly deep, elongated downstream troughing is forecast to
    gradually progress inland across the Pacific coast. It appears that
    this will include at least one vigorous short wave impulse, which is
    forecast to dig into its base, accompanied by a sizable mid-level
    cold core with 500 mb temperatures at or below -30C. A modest
    surface cyclone and associated reinforcing low-level cold intrusion
    may also develop southward along the California coast, into areas
    near and southwest of Monterey by late Thursday night.

    Farther east, broad mid/upper ridging likely will be maintained
    across the Rockies into the Mississippi Valley, with perhaps some
    further amplification across the Great Plains. To the southeast of
    a blocking high near/northeast of Hudson Bay, it appears that a deep
    mid-level low will be forced southeastward toward the lower Great
    Lakes region. This will prevent eastward development of the
    upstream ridging, and contribute to the evolution of large-scale
    troughing across the Atlantic Seaboard into the western Atlantic.

    Strong cyclogenesis is forecast to proceed over the western
    Atlantic, in association with a preceding vigorous short wave
    impulse digging off the southern Mid Atlantic coast by the beginning
    of the period. In its wake, a cold front will advance southeast of
    the Florida Peninsula, with the leading edge of associated lower/mid tropospheric drying advancing through the Bahamas, Caribbean and
    southwestern Gulf of Mexico. While a southerly return flow,
    emanating from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, may develop
    north-northwestward into the Rio Grande Valley and parts of the
    southern Great Plains, this will be elevated above a cool/cold,
    stable boundary layer. Beneath relatively warm and capping layers
    aloft, forecast soundings suggest that this is unlikely to yield destabilization supportive of thunderstorm activity.

    ...California...
    An initial frontal precipitation band, spreading south and east of
    the Monterey vicinity at 12Z Thursday, may be preceded by strong
    southerly flow around the 850 mb level on the order of 40-50+ kt.
    This may contribute to large, clockwise curved low-level hodographs
    across coastal areas into southern portions of the San Joaquin
    Valley early in the day, before the low-level jet weakens. However,
    forecast soundings within this regime indicate thermodynamic
    profiles with little potential for lightning, and lingering stable
    layers near the surface which is expected to preclude a severe
    weather risk.

    In the post-frontal regime, strong mid-level cooling, associated
    with the digging mid-level cold core, is expected to contribute to
    weak destabilization along and inland of the central California
    coast late Thursday through Thursday night. Latest forecast
    soundings suggest that thermodynamic profiles will probably become
    supportive of scattered convection, occasionally capable of
    producing lightning.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorm appears negligible across the U.S.,
    Friday through Friday nnight.

    ...Synopsis...
    To the southeast of blocking mid/upper ridging centered across
    northern Quebec, large-scale troughing is currently in the process
    of evolving near the Atlantic Seaboard into the western Atlantic.
    It appears that this will be maintained through this period, as
    renewed amplification occurs within the westerlies across the
    mid-latitude central into eastern Pacific.

    Models indicate that the latter regime will include deepening
    large-scale mid-level troughing across the northeastern Pacific, the
    leading edge of which may at least approach British Columbia and
    Pacific Northwest coastal areas by 12Z Saturday. In advance of this
    feature, low amplitude ridging may begin to build inland across
    California by late Friday evening, as the significant short wave
    trough currently approaching the California coast is forced
    east-northeastward.

    A vigorous smaller-scale perturbation may still be digging within
    the lead short wave trough, to the west of the southern California
    coast at 12Z Friday. This feature, and the associated mid-level
    cold core (with 500 mb temps around -30C), might not turn completely
    inland of the southern California coast until late Friday afternoon
    or early evening. However, a more rapid east-northeastward
    acceleration is forecast Friday night, with the larger-scale short
    wave trough taking on a negative tilt across and east of the
    southern Rockies by Saturday morning.

    In response to the approaching mid-level perturbation, models
    indicate considerable deepening of surface troughing to the lee of
    the Rockies, with cyclogenesis commencing across southeast Colorado
    by late Friday night. While a southerly return flow off the
    southwestern Gulf of Mexico may be underway by Friday morning across
    the lower Rio Grande Valley and adjacent southern Great Plains,
    substantive boundary-layer moistening (including 60-65F+ surface dew
    points) may not reach lower Texas coastal areas until around 12Z
    Saturday. Forecast soundings indicate that the depth of this moist
    layer will remain fairly shallow, beneath very warm and strongly
    capping elevated mixed-layer air.

    ...Southwest...
    Models indicate that the surface cold front associated with the
    inland advancing mid-level short wave trough may be in the process
    of advancing into/across the lower Colorado Valley by 12Z Friday,
    before continuing eastward across the central/southern Arizona
    deserts during the day. It appears that the front will be preceded
    by moderately strong (30-40+ kt) south/southwesterly flow in the
    850-700 mb layer, but moistening and mid-level cooling sufficient to
    contribute to thermodynamic profiles conducive to thunderstorm
    development are forecast to be confined to the post-frontal regime,
    after this flow veers and weakens. With only very weak CAPE
    currently anticipated, while some of this activity (which could
    impact southern California coastal areas into Friday afternoon, as
    well as the Greater Phoenix area by late Friday afternoon) may be
    accompanied by small hail/graupel and gusty winds, it is expected to
    generally remain well below severe limits.

    ...Parts of the southern Great Plains...
    Increasing deep-layer large-scale forcing for ascent ahead of the
    inland accelerating short wave trough is forecast to begin impacting
    the higher terrain and high plains of west Texas and eastern New
    Mexico by Friday evening. This will be accompanied by steepening
    mid-level lapse rates. Although forecast soundings suggest that the
    most substantive moisture return across this region may be of lower
    latitude eastern Pacific origin, and based near or above 700 mb, it
    appears that thermodynamic profiles will become conducive to
    convection capable of producing lightning. And it appears that this
    activity will tend to develop northeastward into south central
    portions of the Great Plains by 12Z Saturday.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
    AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA
    THROUGH NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated strong thunderstorm or two may impact a narrow corridor
    across parts of eastern Oklahoma through northern Arkansas and
    southern Missouri Saturday afternoon and evening, accompanied by at
    least some risk for severe weather.

    ...Synopsis...
    Ongoing amplification within the westerlies across the central into
    eastern mid-latitude Pacific appears likely to begin translating
    inland across western North America during this period. This is
    forecast to include the continuing evolution of deep large-scale
    mid-level troughing across the eastern Pacific (generally just west
    of the Pacific coast), and building large-scale ridging across the
    U.S. Intermountain West and Rockies.

    As this occurs, an initially vigorous short wave impulse, to the lee
    of the southern Rockies by 12Z Saturday, is forecast to continue an east-northeastward acceleration. However, models indicate at least
    some weakening is possible as it progresses into a broadly confluent
    regime between low amplitude downstream ridging overspreading the
    south Atlantic coast and the western flank of remnant large-scale
    troughing shifting east of the Atlantic Seaboard.

    It does appear that the perturbation will be accompanied by a
    significant surface cyclone emerging from the high plains of
    southeastern Colorado. And guidance indicates that this may include
    a period with at least some further deepening as it migrates across
    the Kansas/Oklahoma border vicinity into the lower Missouri Valley.

    In the wake of a recent cold intrusion, boundary-layer moistening
    may be underway across much of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico by
    early Saturday, and continue through the period across much of the
    remainder of the Gulf. However, this may still be fairly modest,
    with deepest inland boundary-layer moistening confined to southeast
    Texas through the lower Mississippi Valley, with surface dew points
    in the mid 50s to around 60F.

    ...Southern Great Plains into Ohio Valley...
    Potential for thunderstorm activity is expected to initially be in
    association with elevated moisture return (of lower latitude eastern
    Pacific origin) and destabilization, supported by strong large-scale
    forcing for ascent downstream of the progressive short wave trough.
    Lower/mid tropospheric warm advection, beneath divergent high-level
    flow, may be contributing to this early, across Oklahoma and
    adjacent portions of the Great Plains/Ozark Plateau. It appears
    that this may diminish during the day, with probabilities for
    renewed thunderstorm development becoming focused near the compact
    mid-level cold core (including 500 mb temps of -20 to -25 C). This
    is expected to spread across parts of the lower Missouri Valley and
    Ozark Plateau by Saturday evening. It might not be out of the
    question that convection capable of producing lightning could
    continue east-northeastward in a corridor along the Ohio River
    Saturday night, but this potential becomes more unclear due to model
    spread.

    The stronger mid-level cooling, to the north of an initially
    intense mid-level jet (around 100 kt at 500 mb), appears likely to
    spread to the north of the better warm sector boundary-layer
    moistening, with warm mid-levels to the south of the jet capping
    convective development. However, early day precipitation will
    contribute to boundary-layer moistening in advance of the cold pool,
    and forecast soundings suggest potential for weak boundary-layer destabilization with some insolation beneath a developing dry slot.
    Current model output suggests this is most probable along a corridor
    across east central Oklahoma through north central Arkansas/south
    central Missouri Saturday afternoon into early Saturday evening.
    However, given spread evident among the model output, this axis
    could be displaced at least somewhat to the north or south.

    Regardless, given the potential for a developing narrow corridor of
    at least weak boundary-layer destabilization, vigorous thunderstorm
    development appears possible in the presence of strong deep-layer
    mean wind fields and vertical shear. It appears that this will
    include 50-70 kt southwesterly to westerly flow in the 850-700 mb
    layer, which could support a small organized cluster and/or isolated
    supercell structure or two, accompanied by the risk for damaging
    wind gusts and perhaps an isolated tornado.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    Shortwave trough currently moving into the Four Corners region is
    forecast to continue eastward/northeastward today and overnight,
    reaching the Mid MS Valley Sunday morning as a mature/stacked
    cyclone. An additional shortwave trough is expected to progress
    through the base of the larger parent system on Sunday, contributing
    to amplification of the eastern CONUS upper troughing as well as
    secondary surface cyclogenesis over the southern Appalachians and
    Carolina Piedmont.

    Secondary surface low resulting from this cyclogenesis will likely
    move northeastward across central SC and eastern NC, progressing
    along the stationary front separating the residual cold air damming
    across the Mid-Atlantic from the warm and moist airmass across the
    Southeast. A cold front attendant to the surface low will move
    quickly eastward/southeastward across the Southeast and much of FL.

    Upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints are anticipated ahead of the
    front across southern GA, eastern SC, and northern FL, but abundant
    cloud cover and poor lapse rates will temper overall buoyancy.
    Additionally, surface winds will likely veer ahead of the front,
    limiting low-level convergence. These limiting factors will be
    countered somewhat by strong deep-layer shear, and robust storm or
    two is not out of the question. Even so, the overall marginal severe
    potential combined with these limiting factors precludes the need to
    introduce any severe probabilities with this outlook. Severe
    probabilities may be needed in later outlooks if confidence in
    greater buoyancy and storm coverage increases.

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

    ...Synopsis...

    A mature mid-latitude cyclone over the Midwest Sunday morning will
    be reinforced by a shortwave trough ejecting eastward from the
    southern Plains/Ozarks vicinity. This will result in a deepening
    trough over the Southeast as the system as a whole shifts eastward,
    becoming oriented from the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes
    vicinity to the eastern Gulf of Mexico by Monday morning. At the
    surface, low pressure over the lower Ohio Valley will shift east
    toward the central Appalachians, while secondary cyclogenesis occurs
    over the NC/SC Piedmont. A cold front will extend from southern IN southwestward into central LA Sunday morning. Southerly low level
    flow ahead of the front will transport mid 50s to low 60s dewpoints
    across much of the Southeast, and as far north as the NC/SC coastal
    Plain. However, strong cold air damming will limit northward extent
    of higher surface dewpoints, with low-to-mid 60s dewpoints remaining
    confined to southern GA and parts of FL.

    While strong deep layer flow will overlap with increasing moisture
    ahead of the front, instability will remain meager due to poor
    midlevel lapse rates and abundant cloud cover resulting in poor
    surface heating. Additionally, most guidance is showing veering low
    level flow, resulting in weak frontal convergence. While a strong
    storm or two cannot be ruled out from northern FL northward through
    the SC/NC coastal vicinity, the overall severe threat appears too
    low to include probabilities at this time.

    An amplified upper pattern, consisting of an eastern trough and

    Provinces. A low-amplitude shortwave trough is also expected to move
    quickly across the Pacific Northwest, preceding a deeper trough
    expected to extend from British Columbia into the northeast Pacific
    Ocean early Tuesday.

    Largely stable conditions are anticipated across the CONUS. The only
    exception is across a south FL, where an occasional flash may occur
    along and ahead of a cold front moving across the peninsula. This
    region will also be on the southern edge of the stronger flow aloft, contributing to moderate vertical shear and the low probability

    Isolated thunderstorms may occur Wednesday across parts of western

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

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A large-scale upper trough over much of the western/central CONUS
    Thursday morning is forecast to continue moving across the eastern
    states through the period. A surface low initially over northern OK
    and southern KS should develop northeastward to the Upper Midwest
    and Great Lakes by Thursday evening. A trailing cold front will
    sweep quickly east-southeastward across the southern Plains and
    lower/mid MS Valley. Modest low-level moisture return, characterized
    by surface dewpoints generally in the mid to upper 50s, should occur
    through the day across these regions ahead of the cold front.
    However, the stronger forcing for ascent preceding the upper trough
    will likely remain displaced to the north. In addition, poor
    low/mid-level lapse rates and the presence of a low-level inversion
    in forecast soundings suggest that any convection that may develop
    along the front through Thursday evening will likely remain shallow,
    with little thunderstorm potential evident.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong-to-severe thunderstorms are possible across
    central Florida Sunday morning.

    ...Central Florida Vicinity...

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
    PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong storms are possible across central Florida Sunday
    morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad cyclonic flow will prevail over the entire U.S. Sunday, as the
    main polar vortex consolidates across central Canada. At the
    leading edge of the associated arctic low-level airmass, a cold
    front -- trailing southwestward from a low progged to lie near the
    North Carolina Outer Banks early Sunday morning -- will move
    steadily southeastward across Florida. As an associated short-wave
    trough embedded in the broader cyclonic flow aloft shifts off the
    mid-Atlantic coast and into the northwestern Atlantic, the surface
    front will weaken steadily over South Florida overnight.

    ...Central Florida...
    As a cold front advances southward across central Florida during the
    day, combination of a moist pre-frontal boundary layer but weak
    lapse rates -- particularly at low levels -- will support only
    modest CAPE. As such, ongoing convection is forecast to be largely disorganized. However, with moderately strong low- to mid-level
    flow lingering atop the region, a stronger storm or two cannot be
    ruled out during the morning hours. Any stronger storm would be
    accompanied by some potential for a locally strong gust or two, or
    possibly even a brief tornado. However, any risk should further
    diminish into the afternoon, as flow slackens and the parent upper
    system shifts northeastward off the middle Atlantic coast.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected on Monday.

    ...Synopsis...

    A broad upper trough will envelop most of the CONUS on Monday.
    Embedded within larger-scale flow, a shortwave trough will eject
    eastward from the southern Rockies/northern Mexico to the Southeast.
    As the shortwave ejects into the southern Plains, the low level mass
    response will result in strong warm advection and increasing
    low/midlevel south/southwesterly flow across the Gulf of
    Mexico/southeastern U.S. A stalled boundary extending from southern
    FL westward across the central Gulf will retreat northward as a warm
    front, becoming positioned near the Gulf coast and northern FL by
    Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, a cold front will dive southward across
    the southern Plains, extending from southern AR into central TX by
    the end of the period.

    Instability will remain meager across the Gulf coast vicinity for
    much of the period as an antecedent dry airmass will be in place.
    However, low and midlevel moisture will increase through the period
    in response to strengthening low level south/southwesterly flow.
    Showers and a few elevated thunderstorms are possible north of the
    warm front in isentropic ascent, mainly Monday evening into the
    overnight hours across portions of the Gulf coast vicinity.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected on Monday.

    ...Discussion...
    Broad, cyclonic flow aloft is forecast to prevail across the entire
    U.S. Monday, around the primary polar vortex forecast to remain in
    place over central Canada.

    At the surface, cold high pressure will reside over roughly the
    northern half of the country. Meanwhile, weak low-level warm
    advection is expected to evolve over the south-central and
    southeastern U.S., as a weak short-wave perturbation within the
    cyclonic flow field aloft crosses the southern Plains and shifts
    into the Southeast late.

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

    A weak shortwave trough will move eastward across the Southeast on
    Tuesday, as large-scale upper troughing is maintained over much of
    the CONUS and Canada. A surface high centered over the northern
    Plains and Upper Midwest will support generally stable conditions
    away from the Gulf Coast and FL. A weak surface boundary in place
    across the FL Panhandle and southern GA vicinity should develop only
    very slowly northward through Tuesday afternoon. Modest ascent
    associated with the shortwave trough will support isolated to
    perhaps widely scattered thunderstorms over southern AL, the FL
    Panhandle, and southern GA through the day. Forecast soundings
    across this region show low potential for surface-based storms, as
    instability should remain generally weak and elevated owing to poor
    low and mid-level lapse rates. This weak instability will likely
    limit the overall severe risk, even though deep-layer shear will be
    relatively strong.

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

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low will remain over south-central Canada with a tight
    midlevel temperature gradient and broad cyclonic flow regime across
    the northern states. Meanwhile, relatively zonal flow will persist
    over much of the Southeast. Elsewhere, a lower-latitude shortwave
    trough will progress across northern Mexico, with gradual height
    falls into the southern Plains by Thursday morning.

    At the surface, a cool and stable air mass will exist over much of
    the CONUS with an Arctic high centered over Alberta, and very cold
    conditions into the northern Plains. The exception will be across
    the Gulf Coast states, where pressures will lower a bit during the
    day, and where weak warm advection will bring lower 60s dewpoints
    onshore across LA, southern MS/AL/GA mainly after 00Z.

    Subtle lift associated with this warm advection will result in
    elevated showers and a few weak thunderstorms from north TX into AR
    and western TN mainly after 03Z. Severe hail is unlikely given the
    weak instability.

    A few early day storms are expected from the FL Panhandle into
    southern GA, beneath zonal flow aloft and with weak lift. Other
    thunderstorms are possible from southeast TX into LA into Thursday
    morning as the moist air mass is undercut by the cooler air from the
    north.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are likely Thursday from Louisiana into
    Mississippi, and across Alabama and northern Georgia. A few strong
    wind gusts cannot be ruled out, but severe storms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A tight midlevel temperature gradient will remain across the
    northern states as an upper low rotates over
    Alberta/Manitoba/Ontario. Cold air will remain entrenched across the
    Plains and Great Lakes, with the cold front progressing across the
    Southeast.

    The front will extend from southern LA across MS and into northern
    AL Thursday morning, with a warm front over central GA. These
    boundaries will progress across these states during the day, and
    provide a focus for thunderstorms with a moist air mass in place.

    ...MS/AL/GA...
    Showers and scattered thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing near
    and north of the cold front Thursday morning, which will extend from
    southern LA across MS and into northern AL. Ahead of the front,
    models indicate only modest low-level lapse rates developing during
    the day. However, SBCAPE in excess of 500 J/kg may develop due to
    60s F dewpoints.

    Despite the lack of heating, the slow-moving nature of the cold
    front may allow for clusters of storms to gain some cold pool
    potential. Large-scale ascent associated with the right entrance
    region of the upper jet will further aid storm coverage. In terms of
    severe potential, low-level wind fields appear marginal for much
    downward momentum transfer with 850 mb speeds of 20-30 kt. The lack
    of appreciable instability will also limit downdraft potential.
    Low-level SRH will be maximized ahead of a weak low and near a warm
    front over northern AL and GA, but with only a weak surface trough
    and veered 850 mb winds. As such, will maintain less than 5% severe probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH/CENTRAL FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Saturday across
    parts of north/central Florida. Occasional damaging wind gusts
    should be the main threat, but a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

    ...Florida...
    Broadly cyclonic flow will remain over much of the CONUS on
    Saturday, with multiple embedded shortwave troughs progressing
    eastward through the period. Convective potential will largely be
    relegated to parts of the Southeast, where sufficient moisture
    should exist to support isolated to scattered thunderstorms. At the
    surface, a front will likely be located over the FL Panhandle and
    southern GA Saturday morning. This front should move little through
    the day as a weak surface low develops northeastward from the
    northern Gulf of Mexico to the western Atlantic. The potential for surface-based storms will largely remain confined to parts of FL
    along/south of the front.

    Although large-scale forcing appears rather nebulous across the
    Southeast, southwesterly mid-level winds are forecast to gradually
    increase through Saturday evening in the vicinity of the surface
    front as multiple vorticity maxima aloft move northeastward. The
    surface boundary will likely focus convective development, with
    storm coverage potentially increasing by Saturday afternoon/evening
    as a south-southwesterly low-level jet modestly strengthens.
    Deep-layer shear of 35-45 kt will support storm organization.
    However, poor mid-level lapse rates and only modest boundary-layer
    heating will likely temper instability, even as rich low-level
    moisture gradually advects northward across the FL Peninsula. Still,
    MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg appears probable by peak afternoon
    heating across parts of north/central FL. Some storms may be capable
    of producing occasional damaging wind gusts if they can organize
    into small line segments. 0-1 km SRH around 100 m2/s2 in the
    vicinity of the surface front may also support some low-level
    rotation and perhaps a brief tornado with any storm that can remain
    at least semi-discrete. Regardless, the marginal thermodynamic
    environment should keep the overall severe threat fairly isolated.

    THROUGH CENTRAL FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging gusts and a brief
    tornado are possible Saturday across northern and central Florida.

    ...Northern through central Florida...

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

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible Sunday
    across parts of the Florida Peninsula. Occasional damaging winds
    should be the main threat, although a tornado or two may also occur.

    ...Florida...
    Large-scale upper troughing will dominate the CONUS on Sunday. A
    low-amplitude shortwave trough over the Gulf of Mexico at the start
    of the period is forecast to move northeastward across parts of the
    central Gulf Coast states and the Carolinas by Sunday night. At the
    surface, a convectively reinforced boundary will likely remain over
    parts of north FL and perhaps far southern GA through the day. A
    moist low-level airmass, characterized by generally mid to upper 60s
    surface dewpoints, will likely exist to the south of this front
    across much of the FL Peninsula.

    Some precipitation may be ongoing Sunday morning across parts of
    this region in a modest low-level warm advection regime. This casts
    uncertainty regarding how much instability will ultimately develop
    across the FL Peninsula Sunday afternoon, as greater coverage of
    morning convection could limit destabilization. Still, most guidance
    suggests that around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop by
    Sunday afternoon to the south of the surface boundary, as at least
    modest diurnal heating acts on the moist low-level airmass. Both low
    and mid-level southwesterly flow are expected to increase through
    the day as the shortwave trough overspreads the Southeast. Around
    35-45 kt of deep-layer shear should be present over much of the northern/central FL Peninsula, which will support updraft
    organization if sufficient destabilization can occur. Small bowing
    segments and marginal supercell structures may develop and move
    quickly northeastward, with isolated damaging winds probably the
    main threat. Modest enhancement to the low-level wind field should
    support 0-1 km SRH around 100-150 m2/s2 and perhaps some weak
    low-level rotation. Accordingly, a brief tornado or two appears
    possible. Even so, poor mid-level lapse rates may tend to limit
    updraft strength, and the overall severe threat should remain fairly isolated/marginal.

    A series of low-amplitude shortwave troughs embedded within a broad

    severe potential will evolve. South of this activity, rich low-level
    moisture and surface heating should boost MLCAPE to 1500 J/kg. An
    increase in the low-level jet is also expected during the day in
    response to the approach of a more pronounced shortwave trough
    (currently over northern Mexico). However, this feature will
    deamplify as it moves through the northern Gulf region. Additional
    storms will likely develop over the northeast Gulf and along the
    residual outflow boundary during the day. Vertical wind profiles
    with 35-40 kt effective bulk shear will support a few organized
    storms with damaging wind the primary threat. Low-level hodograph
    size will undergo a modest increase due to the strengthening
    low-level jet, and this may support a risk for a couple of
    tornadoes, especially with any storms that can interact with
    modifying outflow boundaries.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may impact parts of the Southeast
    Monday into Monday night. A few tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and
    perhaps some hail all appear possible.

    ...Southeast...
    A longwave upper trough will move eastward from the Plains to the
    eastern CONUS on Monday. An embedded shortwave trough is forecast to
    advance from the southern Plains across the lower MS Valley and
    Southeast through the day, eventually reaching the OH Valley and
    Mid-Atlantic by the end of the period. Large-scale ascent associated
    with this shortwave trough should encourage a surface low initially
    over the north-central Gulf of Mexico to develop northeastward
    across the central Gulf Coast states through Monday evening while
    gradually deepening. This surface low should continue developing
    northeastward across the Carolinas Monday night into early Tuesday
    morning. In tandem with the surface low, a warm front is expected to
    lift northward across the FL Panhandle, southeastern AL, and
    southern GA by Monday evening. A trailing cold front will also sweep
    eastward across these regions from late Monday afternoon through
    Monday night.

    Models have come into better agreement depicting the northward
    return of the low-level moisture Monday, with most suggesting that
    at least mid 60s surface dewpoints should advect northward in tandem
    with the warm front. Although mid-level lapse rates are not expected
    to be steep, the combination of increasing low-level moisture and
    diurnal heating will likely foster MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg across
    the developing warm sector by late Monday afternoon. Both low- and
    mid-level flow will likely strengthen through the day as the
    shortwave trough approaches. Effective bulk shear of 40-50+ kt will
    support supercells. A strong low-level jet should also enhance
    effective SRH along/south of the warm front. Confidence has
    increased that isolated severe storms may occur across the warm
    sector beginning Monday afternoon and continuing through much of the
    evening. Given the possibility of supercells in a favorable shear
    environment, higher probabilities for both tornadoes and damaging
    winds have been introduced across parts of northern FL and southern
    GA where confidence in sufficient destabilization is greatest.
    Additional storms may congeal along the eastward-moving cold front
    Monday evening, potentially posing a continued threat for isolated
    damaging wind gusts.

    Some guidance suggests that mid 60s surface dewpoints may advance
    inland from the western Atlantic across portions of coastal NC/SC
    Monday night into early Tuesday morning as a 50-60+ kt low-level jet overspreads this region. If this occurs, weak instability and strong
    deep-layer shear may support surface-based storms posing an isolated
    threat for damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two. Other
    isolated strong to severe storms also appear possible along the cold
    front Monday night through the end of the period across much of the
    FL Peninsula.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
    FLORIDA INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms with a threat for mainly damaging wind
    and a few tornadoes may impact a portion of the Southeast Monday
    through Monday night.

    ...Synopsis...

    A shortwave trough now approaching the southern High Plains will
    reach the lower MS Valley Monday morning, before continuing through
    a portion of the Southeast and southern Appalachians later Monday
    afternoon into the overnight. In response to forcing accompanying
    this feature, a weak surface low is forecast to develop along the
    stationary front over the northern Gulf. This low will move from
    just off the central Gulf coast by noon Monday, northeastward
    through south/central GA during the evening and into the central
    Carolinas Monday night. Trailing cold front will move through
    southern GA and northern FL during the evening, reaching the
    central/eastern Carolinas overnight. A warm front extending east of
    the low will move northward through southern GA and into the eastern
    Carolinas.

    ...Northern Florida through southern Georgia...

    Rich low-level moisture will advect northward during the day along a strengthening southerly low-level jet with dewpoints from the upper
    60s F in northern FL to mid 60s F in southern GA. This along with
    diabatic heating should contribute to moderate instability with
    MLCAPE from 1000-1500 J/kg likely. Thunderstorms will be ongoing
    within zone of primary forcing along the cold front across the
    northern Gulf. This activity will spread northeast through the FL
    Panhandle during the afternoon, reaching southern GA by late
    afternoon and early evening. Potential will also exist for a few
    discrete storms to develop along the pre-frontal warm conveyor belt. Strengthening vertical wind profiles with 40-50 kt effective bulk
    shear will be supportive of organized structures including bowing
    segments and supercells with damaging wind and a few tornadoes
    possible.

    ...Eastern Carolinas...

    A warm sector will spread inland through the eastern Carolinas,
    overnight with low-mid 60s F dewpoints possible. Instability in this
    region will remain marginal. Nevertheless, storms may develop within
    zone of ascent along the warm conveyor belt where vertical wind
    profiles will support a conditional risk for supercells and isolated
    tornadoes. However, uncertainty still exists regarding whether or
    not the boundary layer will destabilize sufficiently to support
    surface-based storms, with most activity possibly remaining slightly
    elevated. Will maintain MRGL risk category for now and monitor for
    possible SLGT risk upgrade in upcoming day 1 outlooks.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Tuesday across
    parts of the southern Florida Peninsula, with strong/gusty winds the
    main threat.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep longwave trough will remain in place over the CONUS on
    Tuesday. One embedded shortwave trough is forecast to move across
    portions of the Mid Atlantic and New England during the day, as an
    upstream shortwave amplifies over the southern Plains. A surface low
    is forecast to move quickly from the Mid Atlantic into the Canadian
    Maritimes by Tuesday night, as an attendant cold front sweeps
    through the coastal Carolinas during the morning and through the
    remainder of the FL Peninsula by late afternoon.

    ...Southern FL Peninsula...
    The timing from the frontal passage remains somewhat uncertain, but
    at least some portion of the southern FL Peninsula will likely
    remain ahead of the front through at least the first part of the
    day. Large-scale ascent will be negligible with the primary
    shortwave trough exiting well to the north, but weak low-level
    convergence along the boundary may support widely scattered
    thunderstorms from morning into the early afternoon. MLCAPE of
    1000-1500 J/kg and effective shear of 20-25 kt may support weakly
    organized storms capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts
    and small hail.

    ...Far eastern NC...
    Portions of far eastern NC may still be ahead of the primary cold
    front at the start of the period Tuesday morning. However,
    convection expected over the area late Monday night is expected to
    generally move offshore before 12Z, and there currently appears to
    be little opportunity for redevelopment along the front before it
    moves offshore Tuesday morning. Some lingering severe threat cannot
    be ruled out across the Outer Banks at the beginning of the period,
    but this potential is too uncertain to introduce probabilities at
    this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur beginning late Wednesday
    afternoon and continuing through the night across portions of the
    central Gulf Coast. A couple tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and
    perhaps some hail all appear possible.

    ...Central Gulf Coast...

    A large-scale upper trough centered over the High Plains will deepen
    on Wednesday as an embedded shortwave impulse pivots east from the
    lower CO Valley/northwest Mexico to northeast Mexico and the Rio
    Grande Valley in TX. Smaller perturbations will eject across the
    central Gulf Coast vicinity during the afternoon and into the
    overnight hours ahead of the main upper wave. This will induce weak
    surface low/trough development from coastal LA to the western FL
    peninsula during the period. Low level southerly flow ahead of this
    surface low/trough will allow low-to-mid-60s F dewpoints to encroach
    along the immediate coastal vicinity from southeast LA eastward to
    southern AL, northern FL and southern GA. The warm front is not
    forecast to surge too far north across the region, resulting in a
    confined warm sector near the coast.

    Midlevel lapse rates will remain poor, but the influx of low level
    moisture will allow for weak destabilization across the narrow warm
    sector. Elevated thunderstorms will likely increase by mid-afternoon
    near the trailing surface cold front across southern LA and
    southwest MS. As this line of convection shifts eastward into better
    moisture and greater instability during the late afternoon and
    evening, the severe threat will increase across southeast LA into
    southern MS. Strong low level winds could result in locally damaging
    gusts, even in somewhat elevated convection close to the triple
    point. Near the immediate coast where surface-based instability is
    more likely, large, curved hodographs suggest tornado potential will
    exist both within line segments and any semi-discrete cells that
    develop. The severe threat will spread eastward toward southern AL
    and the western FL Panhandle during the overnight hours, with a
    continued threat for isolated damaging gusts and a couple of
    tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    FAR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND
    FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of
    the Southeast on Thursday. A couple tornadoes and isolated damaging
    wind gusts will be the main hazards with these storms.

    ...Southeast vicinity...

    A weak surface low near the western FL Peninsula Thursday morning
    will drift east/northeast across northern FL/southern GA through the
    period. Secondary cyclogenesis will occur offshore from the
    Mid-Atlantic beginning late Thursday afternoon. A warm front will
    lift northward across southern GA, and just inland from the SC/NC
    coast. As the weak low over northern FL shift northeast and stronger cyclogenesis begins offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast, a cold front
    will shift east/southeast during the afternoon and evening. The cold
    front should move offshore the Carolinas coast by around 00z, and
    the GA coast by 06z, before more quickly dropping southeast across
    northern FL overnight.

    Most convection is expected to be somewhat elevated. This is in part
    to an elevated warm layer between the surface and 850 mb, limiting surface-based instability. Additionally, deep layer flow will
    largely be parallel to the southeastward-advancing cold front. As a
    result, storms could become quickly undercut by the front.
    Widespread cloudiness and ongoing showers/thunderstorms will limit
    surface heating. As midlevel lapse rates will remain poor, this
    ultimately will result in weak destabilization, with MLCAPE values
    generally less than 500 J/kg, though some pockets near 750 J/kg are
    possible closer to the GA/southern SC coast. While instability will
    be limited, strong low level flow will exist, with a 40-50 kt low
    level jet in place. Strong shear will help compensate for weaker
    instability, resulting in isolated strong-to-severe organized cells
    and line segments. A greater relative severe risk may exist near the
    warm front, where SRH will be enhanced, leading to somewhat larger
    and more curved low level hodographs. However, surface winds will
    not be very strong, and convergence along the boundary rather weak.
    As a result, the overall tornado threat is somewhat conditional.
    While surface winds will be weak, overall strong low/mid level flow
    could result in isolated damaging gusts through late afternoon/early
    evening.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are unlikely on Friday.

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Great Basin area...

    Steepening lapse rates due to surface heating and cooling mid-level temperatures (-25 to -30 C at 500 mb) associated with the approach
    of a shortwave trough will contribute to weak instability (100-300
    J/kg MLCAPE) Saturday afternoon. This environment along with modest
    forcing for ascent will result in isolated showers, a few of which
    might become capable of lightning flashes before diminishing during
    the evening. Limited moisture and instability suggest coverage of
    any thunderstorms should remain sparse.

    The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.,
    Sunday through Sunday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Mid/upper ridging is in the process of building across the eastern
    mid-latitude Pacific. However, models indicate that ongoing
    amplification along a positively-tilted axis, as far northeast as
    the British Columbia coast and Canadian Rockies by 12Z Sunday, will
    be relatively short lived, with flow across the U.S. remaining
    progressive. This will include mid-level troughing, comprised of at
    least a couple of smaller scale perturbations, now advancing inland
    of the Oregon/northern California coast.

    Models suggest that the lead embedded perturbation will become more
    prominent by Sunday, east of the Rockies, as it progresses across
    the central Great Plains toward the Great Lakes region. It appears
    that it may provide support for modest lower/mid-tropospheric
    cyclogenesis, with an evolving trailing cold front advancing across
    and east of the Mississippi Valley, and southward into the
    northwestern Gulf coast region by late Sunday night.

    Despite the potentially favorable large-scale forcing for ascent and strengthening wind fields/shear associated with this developing
    system, it still appears that destabilization will be hampered by
    weak low-level moisture return off a western Gulf of Mexico boundary
    layer significantly impacted by the recent cold intrusion. Within
    the evolving warm sector, destabilization will be further
    complicated by lingering, melting snow cover, and, to the south of
    an associated strong southwesterly mid-level jet streak, warm layers
    aloft.

    Near the deepening mid-level low center, across parts of eastern
    Nebraska into western Iowa early Sunday morning, latest NAM forecast
    soundings suggest that steepening of mid-level lapse rates and
    elevated moisture return might become sufficient to contribute to
    thermodynamic profiles marginally conducive to convection capable of
    producing lightning. However, based on forecast soundings farther
    east, through the remainder of the period, this may be short lived.
    Given uncertainties and lingering model discrepancies, thunderstorm probabilities will be maintained at less than 10 percent, at least
    for now.

    A shortwave trough is forecast to extend from the mid MO Valley
    southwestward through the central Rockies and into the Desert
    Southwest early Sunday morning. At the same time, the surface low
    attendant to this shortwave will likely be centered over
    south-central KS/north-central OK. Expectation is for the parent
    shortwave to move quickly eastward, ending the period extended from
    Lower MI through the mid MS Valley and into the southern Plains. The
    surface low is expected to move northeastward just ahead of the
    shortwave, ending the period over Lower MI. Some modest deepening of
    this low is expected for the first half of the period before it
    occludes late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Cold front
    associated with this low will sweep eastward/southeastward,
    traversing much of the southern Plains and lower/mid MS Valley.

    Moderate to strong forcing for ascent will accompanying this
    shortwave and attendant surface low/cold front. However, only modest modification of the prevailing arctic air mass has occurred, and
    any return moisture remains mostly offshore. As such, scant buoyancy
    is expected preclude thunderstorm development.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the
    U.S., Monday through Monday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Lowest mid-level heights have retreated to the Arctic latitudes,
    and, by 12Z Monday, appear likely to be centered to the north of
    Alaska and the Canadian Yukon and Northwest Territories. Much of
    North America will remain under the influence of progressive
    westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific. This flow may
    trend northwesterly across the northeastern Pacific and Gulf of
    Alaska into British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, as short
    wave ridging builds to the north of a fairly prominent mid-level
    high centered over the southern mid-latitude eastern Pacific.
    Downstream flow appears likely to maintain more of a westerly
    component east of the Rockies into the Atlantic.

    Mid-level troughing, comprised of at least a couple of smaller-scale perturbations, within this regime may be accompanied by a modest
    surface cyclone migrating across lower Michigan early in the period,
    with a trailing cold front advancing east of the Mississippi Valley.
    As the troughing continues rapidly eastward, models suggest more
    substantive secondary cyclogenesis may initiate across and northeast
    of the southern New England coast by Monday evening, with the
    trailing cold front strengthening while advancing off the Atlantic
    Seaboard.

    In the wake of the recent arctic cold intrusion, generally weak
    pre-frontal low-level moisture return off the Gulf of Mexico likely
    will continue to limit the risk for thunderstorms with this system.
    However, models continue to suggest low probabilities for
    thunderstorm development Monday, as somewhat better moisture influx
    off the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic contributes
    to weak destabilization across parts of northern Florida into the
    central Florida Peninsula, and near coastal North Carolina. If this
    occurs, it appears that it will be focused in the wake/above the
    cold front, with negligible risk for severe weather. Primary
    thunderstorm development is still expected to be focused in
    association with more favorable phasing of low-level destabilization
    and forcing for ascent offshore, near the Gulf Stream, Monday night.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across southeast Georgia and Florida
    Peninsula Monday, as well as the immediate North Carolina coast
    Monday afternoon/evening. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper troughing is expected to be in place across the central
    and eastern CONUS early Monday morning, accompanied by moderate to
    strong southwesterly flow aloft and an occluded surface low over
    Lower MI. This upper troughing is forecast to advance eastward
    throughout the day, with a more progressive embedded shortwave
    trough over the OH Valley contributing to more eastward progress
    than areas farther south, where the embedded shortwave will be
    slower. Even so, this upper trough is not expected to truly
    bifurcate and will likely be entirely off the East Coast by early
    Tuesday morning.

    Surface low attendant to this system will begin the period occluded
    over Lower MI and is expected to further occlude throughout the day.
    Secondary surface cyclogenesis will likely occur off the
    Mid-Atlantic coast as associated cold front moves
    eastward/southeastward through the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

    Another weak surface low may develop over the FL Panhandle Monday
    afternoon, at the intersection of the better low-level moisture
    return and the cold front. This low is then forecast to move
    northeastward across southeast GA and off the GA Coast. A corridor
    of relatively stronger forcing for ascent will accompany this low,
    but the more favorable low-level moisture will be displaced farther
    south across the FL Peninsula. Additionally, abundant cloud cover
    will limit heating, contributing to substantial low-level stability.
    Farther south across the FL Peninsula, warm temperatures aloft and
    displacement from the better forcing for ascent will limit deep
    updrafts. However, a few storms may be deep/persistent enough to
    produce a few lightning flashes.

    supporting steep (7.5 - 8 C/km) mid-level lapse rates and weak
    instability with MLCAPE from 100-300 J/kg as the boundary layer
    warms during the day. Scattered showers will likely develop with the
    most numerous activity within the upslope regions of the Cascades
    and northern Rockies. A few lightning flashes will be possible,
    especially from late afternoon through mid evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT
    FROM PARTS OF NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO SOUTHERN
    ARKANSAS AND NORTHWESTERN LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong thunderstorms may impact a corridor across north
    central Texas through the Ark-La-Tex vicinity Thursday night,
    accompanied by at least some risk for severe hail.

    ...Southern Plains into the Lower MS Valley...
    A shortwave trough is expected to progress from the Four Corners
    region eastward through the southern Plains and into the Lower MS
    Valley from early Thursday into early Friday. A dry and stable air
    mass will precede this shortwave across the southern Plains, with
    much of the favorable low-level moisture remaining confined to the
    TX Coastal Plain and western/central Gulf Coast. Even so,
    strengthening low-level southerly flow ahead of the shortwave will
    contribute to broad and relatively strong isentropic ascent over
    much of the southern Plains into the adjacent Lower MS Valley,
    resulting in thunderstorm development Thursday night. At the same
    time, enhanced mid-level flow attendant to the shortwave will spread
    eastward, resulting in modest to strong unidirectional flow above
    the low-level stable layer. Modest mid-level lapse rates will limit
    overall buoyancy, but a few strong updrafts are still possible.
    Given the strong flow aloft, any deep and/or persistent updrafts
    will have the potential to rotate, with a corresponding possibility
    to produce hail. The cold surface-based layer is expected to remain
    deep enough to preclude the risk for severe wind gust and tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    ARKLATEX NORTHEASTWARD TO NORTHERN AL/SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong thunderstorms are possible in a corridor across parts
    of the northwestern Mississippi Delta region and adjacent
    southeastern Arkansas into parts of middle Tennessee Friday,
    accompanied by some risk for severe weather.

    ...Discussion...
    Moderate southwesterly low-level flow is expected to ongoing from
    the TX Gulf Coast through the Mid-South early Friday morning,
    induced by a shortwave trough traversing northern portions of the
    southern Plains. A cold front will likely extend from a weak surface
    low over East TX southwestward through the TX Hill Country. A
    stationary boundary will also extend eastward from this low across
    northern LA, central MS, and central AL. The moderate southwesterly
    low-level flow atop the shallow air mass demarcated by these
    boundaries will result in broad isentropic ascent, with showers and
    isolated thunderstorms forecast to be ongoing from the Arklatex into
    southwest TN/northwest GA early Friday morning.

    Moderate vertical shear will be in place and few strong to
    potentially severe storms are possible. Theses stronger storms are
    more likely near the stationary boundary, where frontal circulations
    could augment the broad isentropic ascent, promoting relatively
    stronger updrafts. Additionally, the low-level stable layer near the
    boundary will likely be shallow enough for strong downdrafts to
    penetrate to the surface.

    Storm intensity and coverage with this initial wave of showers and thunderstorms will likely be maximized during the early morning
    before the shortwave progresses farther northeastward and becomes
    displaced from the better low-level moisture.

    Another shortwave is forecast to move quickly through the
    southern/central Plains and mid MS Valley in the wake of the first.
    As a result, moisture return is expected to continue after the
    passage of the first shortwave, with the stationary boundary
    becoming an effective warm front. Consensus among the guidance
    places low 60s dewpoints from far northeast LA to the AL/TN border
    by 12Z Saturday morning. Low-level flow will also increase across
    the Mid-South and TN Valley, with the resulting isentropic ascent
    contributing to another round of showers and thunderstorms. Most of
    this activity will be elevated north of the warm front and overall
    buoyancy will be modest. Even so, moderate to strong vertical shear
    will be in place. Consequently, a few updrafts may persist long
    enough to become better organized and strong enough to produce hail.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM
    NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN
    ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from north-central Texas
    across northeast Oklahoma and into western Arkansas Saturday evening
    through early Sunday morning.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozark Plateau...
    Lead shortwave trough is expected to extend from the Upper Great
    Lakes into the central Appalachians early Saturday, before
    continuing quickly northeastward in Quebec and off the
    Northeast/Mid-Atlantic coast. Active upper pattern will push another
    shortwave through the central/southern Plains. Surface cyclogenesis
    associated with this second shortwave trough will likely result in a
    low over the central High Plains by late morning, with quick
    northeastward progression across the central Plains thereafter.

    A stalled frontal boundary associated with Friday's system will
    likely extend from near the AR/LA/MS border intersection
    southwestward into the TX Hill Country. This boundary is then
    forecast to begin moving northward as a warm front, supported by the strengthening low-level flow attendant to the approaching shortwave.
    By late Saturday afternoon/early Saturday evening, low 60s dewpoints
    will likely be near the Red River. Persistent isentropic ascent
    throughout this moist warm sector is expected to result in showers
    and thunderstorms north of the front across eastern OK/western AR,
    beginning Saturday evening.

    Convective inhibition associated with a modest residual EML could
    temper overall storm coverage, with dry air entrainment also
    limiting updraft strength and persistence of those storms that do
    develop. However, moderate to strong vertical shear could aid in
    updraft organization, somewhat countering the weak buoyancy,
    resulting in the low probability for a few stronger, longer-lived
    storms. A few of these stronger storms could produce hail.

    Additionally, storm development is possible early Sunday morning as
    the cold front associated with the previously mentioned surface low
    moves across central/eastern OK and northwest/north-central TX. The
    EML is expected to persist across the region, with warm and dry
    mid-level conditions potentially capping any deep convection along
    the front. However, these conditions also foster strong buoyancy if
    a storm can develop. Vertical shear over the region will also remain
    strong. This result in a conditional risk for severe hail along the
    front from eastern OK into north TX early Sunday morning.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    TX TO WESTERN TN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from northeast Texas into western
    Tennessee on Sunday. Damaging gusts will be the main hazard, but
    some hail and a couple tornadoes can not be ruled out.

    ...Arklatex to TN vicinity...

    A series of upper shortwave troughs will pivot eastward from the
    northern Plains through the upper Great Lakes. Meanwhile another
    upper shortwave trough will become cut-off from northern-stream
    flow, with a closed low developing over AZ. This upper low will
    migrate toward the southern Rockies through 12z Monday. Strong
    deep-layer southwesterly flow associated with this upper pattern
    will persist over the southern Plains into the Midwest and
    Northeast. At the surface, a cold front will extend from central MO southwestward into western north TX Sunday morning. This front will
    track southeast through the period, extending from the central
    Appalachians to northern LA and south-central TX by Monday morning.
    Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints from around 63-68 F will be in
    place. Low level convergence will remain poor through the period in
    the absence of stronger surface cyclogenesis. Additionally,
    widespread cloudiness and ongoing showers/thunderstorms will limit
    heating. Modest midlevel lapse rates, greatest over the Arklatex
    vicinity, will aid in weak destabilization along/ahead of the cold
    front.

    There continues to be quite a bit of uncertainty in how much pre-frontal/surface-based convection will develop on Sunday. It is
    possible that a majority of convection will be elevated, or quickly
    become elevated/undercut by the cold front. This is due in part to
    the rather nebulous upper forcing, as well as boundary-parallel
    deep-layer flow, coupled with weak directional shear. Forecast
    soundings across parts of the Marginal risk area also continue to
    show at least weak capping around 850-700 mb. Nevertheless, strong
    effective shear and fast storm motion could result in isolated
    damaging gusts in line segments near the cold front.

    Isolated hail is possible Sunday morning into the afternoon across
    parts of the Arklatex where midlevel lapse rates will be steeper,
    and MLCAPE greater. While a couple of tornadoes can not be ruled out
    across the Marginal risk area, either from a warm sector cell should
    one develop, or from mesovortex formation along line segments, this
    threat remains very conditional, precluding greater than 2% probs.

    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible from parts
    of Texas into the Ohio Valley on Sunday. Damaging wind gusts should
    be the main hazard, but some hail and a couple tornadoes may also
    occur.

    ...Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi and Ohio Valleys...
    Multiple mid-level shortwave troughs will move eastward across the
    CONUS on Sunday. One such shortwave trough is forecast to advance
    from the northern Plains and Upper Midwest to the Great Lakes by
    Sunday evening. Another shortwave trough should develop slowly
    southeastward from the Great Basin to the Southwest, eventually
    closing off over AZ/NM late Sunday night. The primary surface low is
    expected to develop northeastward across the Upper Midwest/Great
    Lakes and into southern Ontario by Sunday evening, in tandem with
    the previously mentioned shortwave trough. A cold front extending
    southward from this low should be located over parts of the lower OH
    Valley into the Mid-South and southern Plains Sunday morning. This
    cold front will shift slowly southeastward through the period across
    these regions, and it will likely provide a focus for convection.

    A fairly broad swath of enhanced mid-level southwesterly winds
    should overlie the frontal zone, but stronger forcing associated
    with both shortwave troughs is likely to remain north of the warm
    sector. Still, forecast soundings from northeast TX into the lower
    MS Valley/Mid-South and continuing into parts of KY indicate a
    veering and strengthening wind profile with height through mid
    levels. Upwards of 50-60+ kt of effective bulk shear appears likely,
    which is clearly sufficient for organized storms, including
    supercells. However, two potentially limiting factors remain
    apparent. One is the orientation of the front nearly parallel with
    the southwesterly mid-level flow. Tendency may be for storms to form
    along the front and then get quickly undercut while becoming
    elevated. The other limitation may be generally weak low/mid-level
    lapse rates and related modest instability. Even so, the presence of
    surface dewpoints generally in the 62-68 F range coupled with some
    diurnal heating south of the front should support MLCAPE around
    250-1000 J/kg by Sunday afternoon.

    Current expectations are for mainly elevated storms to be ongoing
    across parts of the lower OH Valley Sunday morning in a strong
    low-level warm advection regime. Additional convective development
    appears likely along much of the length of the cold front by late
    Sunday morning or early afternoon. Short bowing line segments may
    pose an isolated damaging wind threat as they move
    east-northeastward. Even though low-level flow should tend to veer
    to southwesterly across much of the warm sector through the day,
    enough low-level shear may remain to pose a threat for a couple
    tornadoes with either semi-discrete storms or circulations embedded
    within the line segments. Eventually, this isolated severe threat
    should wane across the lower MS Valley and TN Valley Sunday evening
    as storms become mainly elevated behind the front. Finally, some
    hail threat may exist with elevated storms both Sunday morning and
    Sunday night across parts of TX into the ArkLaTex vicinity.
    Mid-level lapse rates should be modestly steepened across this
    region in advance of the shortwave trough over the Southwest, and
    deep-layer shear will likely be rather strong and uni-directional,
    potentially supporting elevated supercells.

    An upper low over the southern Rockies will migrate eastward to the

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

    A closed upper low over NM will move slowly eastward across the

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE EASTERN
    TX PANHANDLE...WESTERN OK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms may be capable of large hail over parts the
    Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma on Thursday during the late
    afternoon and early evening.

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

    A mid/upper-level trough initially over OK/TX Friday morning will

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Mississippi/Alabama Vicinity...

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

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

    ...Central MO Vicinity...

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Southern Plains to Ozarks vicinity...

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

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

    ...Central Gulf Coast States...

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    in the warm sector with 1000-1500 J/kg MUCAPE. A few showers will
    occur within the zone of shallow frontal forcing. Point-forecast
    soundings indicate an inversion near 700 mb, and with deeper forcing
    likely to remain well north of warm sector, most convection is
    expected to remain shallow. However, there is some chance for an
    isolated thunderstorm before the front moves offshore by late
    morning.

    ...Pacific Northwest through northern Rockies...

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...OK/TX...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Carolinas through southern Georgia...

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

    ....Lower Mississippi Valley region...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    A cold front will move southward into the central Florida on Monday.
    Daytime heating along with surface dewpoints in the 60s F to the

    CORRECTED FOR TEXT IN DISCUSSION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

    Valid 051200Z - 061200Z

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

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

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

    ...Northwest TX...

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Central/Southern Plains vicinity...

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

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

    ...Delmarva/Chesapeake Vicinity...

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

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

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

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley region...

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

    ...Middle MS Valley...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

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

    ...Florida...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY....

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED GRAPHIC DISCREPANCY IN GULF COASTAL VICINITY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID
    ATLANTIC REGION AND SURROUNDING AREAS...

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

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

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

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

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    PLAINS EASTWARD TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected Friday into
    Friday night from parts of the southern Plains into the lower
    Mississippi Valley/central Gulf Coast states. Large to very large
    hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes all appear possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    As broad cyclonic flow around a Canadian Maritimes upper low
    gradually departs from the Northeast, the primary feature of
    interest will be a short-wave trough moving out of the Intermountain
    West into/across the Plains states. With time, the southern portion
    of this trough -- advancing more quickly than farther north -- will
    cross the Ozarks/Arklatex and then the lower Mississippi Valley
    overnight, resulting in a gradually more negative tilt to the
    larger-scale trough.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Southeast States...

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

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

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

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

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

    and away from this region early in the period. While an isolated
    strong wind gust or two cannot be ruled out with storms developing
    during the afternoon, an organized severe event is not expected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Upper Midwest...

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

    ...Northern and Central Rockies...

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

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from across parts of Oklahoma
    southward into the Texas Hill Country on Wednesday. Large hail,
    damaging gusts and a few tornadoes will be possible with these
    storms. Isolated strong storms also are possible across parts of the
    middle Mississippi Valley to western New York.

    ...Synopsis...

    A southern stream upper shortwave trough moving across northern
    Mexico and the southern Rockies into the adjacent High Plains will
    phase with a deepening northern stream upper shortwave trough over
    the upper/mid-MS Valley on Wednesday. This will result in band of
    enhanced southwesterly flow from the southern Plains into the
    Midwest and lower Great Lakes vicinity. At the surface, a broad warm
    sector will be in place ahead of a cold front shifting southeast
    across the mid-MS/lower-OH Valley, and a dryline extending southward
    near the OK/TX border into western TX. Mid/upper 60s dewpoints will
    exist from the southern Plains into the mid-MS/lower OH Valley with
    more modest dewpoints in the upper 50s to low 60s further
    east/northeast toward western PA/NY. Some areas may see a few rounds
    of thunderstorms (some strong), but a more focus severe threat is
    expected to develop across parts of the southern Plains during the afternoon/evening.

    ...Southern Plains...

    Clusters of thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing Wednesday morning
    from parts of MO into OK and possibly TX. This activity should
    develop northeastward through the morning and allow for some airmass
    recovery across southwest OK into northwest TX. Forecast guidance
    continues to vary with regards to the exact position and strength of
    a surface low in the vicinity of northwest TX. Nevertheless, the low
    and dryline/cold front should serve as a focus for afternoon
    thunderstorm development. Midlevel lapse rates will be modest, but
    sufficient and rich boundary layer moisture will further contribute
    to MLCAPE around 1500-2000 J/kg amid supercell wind profiles. Large
    hail and damaging winds will therefore be possible with this
    activity. Furthermore, backed low level winds in the vicinity of the
    triple point will result in a local maximum in tornado potential.

    Further south, stronger heating is expected along the dryline across
    western TX. Convection is expected to develop in a deeply-mixed
    boundary layer over the higher terrain of Mexico and shift eastward
    across the Rio Grande into the Texas Hill Country during the
    afternoon/evening. Elongated hodographs appear favorable for
    supercells capable of producing very large hail (some greater than
    2.5 inches in diameter). Additionally temperature-dewpoint spreads
    of around 20-25 degrees and somewhat higher-based convection could
    promote stronger downdrafts and damaging winds also appear likely.

    ...Southeast MO/Lower OH Valley...

    Forecast guidance continues to be uncertain regarding severe
    potential across this area. Morning convection will likely have some
    influence over how much destabilization occurs across parts of
    southern MO. Furthermore, poor midlevel lapse rates will hinder
    greater instability and storm organization. Nevertheless, 30-40 kt
    midlevel southwesterly flow will exist over the region, with at
    least some backed southerly winds ahead of the front and weak
    instability. Some guidance suggests some forward-propagating
    clusters could develop and result in some locally strong wind gust
    potential. However, deep layer flow mostly parallel to the cold
    front also could result in storms becoming undercut by outflows or
    the front itself. Nevertheless, a narrow corridor of conditional
    severe potential may exist from parts of southeast MO/far northwest
    AR into western KY where strong gusts and perhaps a tornado could
    occur.

    ...OH into western NY...

    Strong west/southwesterly flow will overspread modest boundary layer
    moisture amid midlevel lapse rates around 7 C/km. Ample surface
    heating will result in steepening low level lapse rates by early
    afternoon as thunderstorms develop. Moderate shear and MLCAPE values
    around 1000-1500 J/kg should support a few strong cells capable of
    strong gusts and perhaps some hail.

    Bend vicinity. Another branch of enhanced southwesterly flow related
    to this system will overspread TX into the lower MS Valley/Mid-South
    vicinity. At the surface, a seasonally moist boundary layer will
    exist ahead of a east/southeastward-advancing cold front. The front
    will extend from northern OH toward south-central MO, then
    southwestward into central TX during the morning. By Friday morning,
    the cold front will move offshore the Northeast coast, arcing
    southwestward from far southeast VA into central MS/AL into eastern
    TX.

    ...Mid-South to Mid-Atlantic...

    Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across portions of
    the region near the cold front at the beginning of the period.
    Abundant cloud cover will also exist downstream. As a result,
    destabilization will remain limited, with less than 500 J/kg MLCAPE
    expected. Nevertheless, strong deep layer flow, with 35-45 kt west/southwesterly winds between 850-700 mb will aid in some loosely
    organized convection. The main concern with this activity will be
    locally strong wind gusts through early evening.

    ...East TX into the TN Valley Vicinity...

    Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing Thursday morning and will
    limit severe potential at least initially. By peak heating, most
    guidance indicates some airmass recovery and stronger
    destabilization further south ahead of the cold front where stronger
    heating is expected. Surface dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s will aid
    in MLCAPE values around 750-1500 J/kg. Low level winds will remain
    light, but effective shear will be sufficient for isolated strong
    storms. Locally strong gusts and marginal hail will be possible with
    this activity during the afternoon/evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTH
    TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms are possible over south Texas Friday
    afternoon into Friday night. Hail and locally strong winds will be
    the main threats.

    ...South Texas...

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
    OF TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms are possible Saturday into Saturday
    night, mainly from southern through central and eastern Texas.

    ...Texas through western Louisiana...

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

    ...Great Lakes region...

    Have removed MRGL risk for this area due to expectation of limited
    low-level moisture/instability and weak forcing in wake of early
    impulse.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
    EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
    LOUISIANA...AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI INTO ADJACENT PORTIONS OF
    SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE AND WESTERN ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday into Sunday evening
    across much of the lower Mississippi Valley. Strong to severe
    thunderstorm development is also possible east of the Colorado Front
    Range into adjacent portions of the central Great Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    Mid/upper ridging extending north-northeastward from the subtropical
    eastern Pacific into the western U.S. is becoming increasingly
    suppressed, as short wave perturbations within the westerlies
    emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific progress inland around its
    crest. This includes one significant impulse on the southern fringe
    of the westerlies, which is forecast to migrate inland across the
    northern California coast early today, followed by another by late
    tonight. It appears that the trailing impulse may dig more sharply southeastward into the Sierra Nevada vicinity by 12Z Sunday, in
    response to upstream large-scale ridge amplification. During the
    day Sunday, through Sunday night, models indicate substantive trough amplification downstream of the ridging, across the southern Great
    Basin into the Four Corners states.

    In response to these developments, the remnants of a mid-level low
    emerging from the northern Mexican Plateau are forecast to
    accelerate from north central Texas into the lower Ohio Valley, with deamplifying troughing pivoting to its south/southeast, across the
    lower Mississippi Valley into the Cumberland Plateau/southern
    Appalachians by late Sunday night. It appears that this feature
    will be accompanied by the inland (and northeastward) progression of
    surface troughing along the western periphery of a large surface
    ridge centered over the southern mid-latitude/subtropical western
    Atlantic.

    Primary surface cyclogenesis is forecast take place from
    southeastern Colorado through the Texas Panhandle, into northwest Texas/southwestern Oklahoma, beneath a broadening plume of warm and
    capping elevated mixed-layer air advecting eastward across much of
    the southern Great Plains by late Sunday night.

    Farther north, a surface cold front is forecast to overtake surface
    troughing across the central Great Plains into Upper Midwest, as
    cold surface ridging noses southward to the lee of the northern
    Rockies, in association with mid-level troughing digging across the
    central Canadian/U.S. border area.

    ...Upper Texas coast/lower Mississippi Valley...
    If anything, latest model output appears a little less clear
    concerning severe weather potential for Sunday. It still appears
    that potentially cool/dry boundary layer air across and
    east/northeast of the lower Mississippi Valley, associated with the Southeastern surface ridging, will substantively moisten beneath a north-northeastward developing low-level jet (around 30-40 kt at 850
    mb). How quickly this occurs is becoming less certain, as moisture
    return likely will be initially elevated, and convection developing
    ahead of the approaching mid-level impulse may slow boundary-layer
    warming. Still, with mid 60s+ F surface dew points forecast to
    spread inland across the lower Mississippi Valley vicinity, moderate destabilization beneath relatively cold mid-level air associated
    with the short wave trough appears possible. If this occurs, a 50+
    kt mid-level jet streak will contribute to an environment conducive
    to organized convective development, including supercells.
    Depending on how convection evolves across Louisiana into
    Mississippi, it is possible that the mid-level cold core could
    become a focus for strong to severe storm development across parts
    of central and southern Arkansas late Sunday afternoon and evening.

    ...Front Range into adjacent central Great Plains...
    Northeast of the larger-scale troughing digging into the Four
    Corners states, strongly difluent and divergent high-level flow may
    aid convective development within moistening post-frontal upslope
    flow to the east of the Colorado Front Range. By mid to late Sunday
    afternoon, it appears that destabilization beneath steepening
    lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates may become sufficient to support
    severe storms capable of producing large hail along and north of the
    Palmer Divide. As this convection tends to develop with favorable
    mid/upper support toward a dryline/cold front intersection across
    east central Colorado into western Kansas by Sunday evening,
    low-level thermodynamic profiles and shear may become increasingly
    conducive to an organizing convective system posing a risk for
    strong surface gusts. Once lingering uncertainties concerning
    destabilization become better resolved, it is possible that higher
    severe probabilities will be needed in later outlooks for this
    period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday into Sunday evening across
    much of the lower Mississippi Valley. A couple of tornadoes,
    damaging gusts and hail are possible with this activity. Strong to
    severe thunderstorm development is also possible east of the
    Colorado Front Range into adjacent portions of the central Great
    Plains, where hail and damaging gusts will be the main concern.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Central Gulf Coast Vicinity...

    A compact, negatively tilted mid/upper level trough will lift
    northeast from eastern TX to the lower OH/TN Valley on Sunday. While
    some weakening of the trough is forecast as it develops northeast,
    persistent 35-45 kt 850-700 mb southwesterly midlevel flow will
    remain over the region. Ongoing convection is expected Monday
    morning in a warm advection regime ahead of a deepening surface low
    over OK/TX. This activity could pose a threat for locally damaging
    gusts and perhaps a couple of tornadoes across parts of southwest LA
    into southwest MS. The extent of early convection does lead to some
    uncertainty in the evolution of the severe threat during the
    afternoon. However, warm advection will allow mid/upper 60s
    dewpoints to spread northward across the region as temperatures warm
    into the mid to upper 70s. This should result in weak to moderate destabilization. This will support reinvigoration/continuation of
    severe potential along outflow from morning convection and near a
    warm front lifting northward across AR/MS/AL. Forecast soundings
    indicate low level hodographs becoming enlarged and favorably curved
    to support a continued tornado threat into the afternoon/early
    evening, and strong low to midlevel flow will support damaging wind
    potential.

    Forecast guidance also suggests that airmass recovery will occur
    across parts of northern LA/southern AR during the afternoon as the
    core of the mid/upper trough tracks over the region. Supercells
    capable of all severe hazards will be possible across this region as
    well.

    ...Central High Plains...

    A southeastward-advancing cold front and dryline will intersect
    across east-central CO/west-central KS Sunday afternoon. Upslope low
    level flow will result in surface dewpoints as high as the low 50s
    beneath steep midlevel lapse rates, resulting in 1000-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the higher
    terrain during the late afternoon and shift eastward into the High
    Plains. Supercell wind profiles will allow for organized cells
    initially capable of large hail. Steep low level lapse rates also
    will support strong outflow winds. As the cold front surges
    south/southeast during the evening, some upscale development is
    possible as convection shifts eastward into western KS. This will
    increase the potential for damaging gusts into the nighttime hours.

    More isolated convection is expected southward toward the Oklahoma
    Panhandle near a dryline. A few storms could develop over the higher
    terrain of northeast NM and shift eastward across the OK Panhandle,
    producing hail and locally damaging gusts. This activity will remain
    tied to the dryline and diurnally driven, with severe potential
    decreasing after sunset.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE MONDAY
    THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS
    THROUGH THE OZARK PLATEAU AND PORTIONS OF THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible, particularly Monday evening into
    the overnight hours, in a corridor from northeastern Oklahoma
    through the Ozark Plateau and portions of the lower Ohio Valley.
    Some of this activity may pose a risk for large, damaging hail and
    strong wind gusts.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models indicate that a belt of westerlies across the northern
    mid-latitude Pacific may undergo considerable amplification during
    this period. It appears that this will include a building mid-level
    ridge axis to the west of the British Columbia/Pacific Northwest
    coast, while broader ridging across the southern
    mid-latitude/subtropical eastern Pacific begins to shift inland of
    the California coast and Baja. As this occurs, initially amplified
    downstream troughing is forecast to progress east-northeastward out
    of the Four Corners states.

    It still appears that a series of smaller-scale impulses may
    gradually emerge from the Southwest, rather than one consolidated
    perturbation, but at least one of these may be fairly prominent.
    The degree of phasing with mid-level troughing near the central
    Canadian/U.S. border area, within a branch of westerlies to the
    north, remains unclear. Models continue to vary considerably
    concerning these and associated surface developments, within/beneath
    an otherwise broadly confluent regime across and east of the
    Mississippi Valley.

    In general, it does appear that a surface cold front will continue
    to overtake initially broad surface troughing across the Upper
    Midwest into the southern Great Plains, as cold surface ridging
    noses southward to the lee of the Rockies. Surface cyclogenesis
    along it will probably remain modest to weak as it advances eastward
    and southeastward, but an influx of seasonably high boundary-layer
    moisture content is expected to precede the front, on seasonably
    moderate to strong southwesterly low-level flow.

    ...Ohio Valley/Ozark Plateau and adjacent southern Great Plains...
    Of particular concern, model output, in general, continues to
    indicate a return of mid 60s to around 70F surface dew points,
    beneath a plume of very steep lower/mid tropospheric lapse rates
    associated with warm and capping elevated mixed-layer air. This
    will contribute to significant convective instability and sizable
    CAPE on the order of 2000-3000+ K/kg, in the presence favorably
    sheared 30-50+ kt flow in the 850-500 mb layer, supporting
    considerable potential for organized severe convection.

    There still appears a general signal in the latest NCEP SREF, GEFS,
    and ECENS that large-scale forcing for ascent may begin to erode
    mid-level inhibition along the northern periphery of the warmer and
    more strongly capping elevated mixed-layer air, across north central/northeastern Oklahoma into southwestern Missouri by late
    Monday afternoon and evening. A few supercells are possible
    initially, but convection may tend to grow rapidly upscale into one
    or more organizing clusters.

    Perhaps in response to the approach of the most significant
    mid-level perturbation emerging from the Southwest, further
    consolidation and upscale convective growth appears possible, across
    and east of the Ozark Plateau into lower Ohio Valley overnight.
    Although continuing spread among the deterministic models precludes
    it at the present time, severe weather probabilities could still be
    increased in later outlooks, within a corridor across parts of
    northeastern Oklahoma, southern Missouri, and northern Arkansas,
    into the lower Ohio Valley. Given the environment, strongest
    convection across this region could pose a risk for large,
    destructive hail and strong, damaging wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND FAR NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
    AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of Oklahoma and far
    northeast Texas into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys
    on Monday. Damaging gusts, large hail and a few tornadoes will be
    possible with this activity. Additional strong to isolated severe
    thunderstorms are possible from the southern Plains into portions of
    the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Synopsis...

    An active severe weather day is expected on Monday from portions of
    the southern Plains through the Ohio Valley and into portions of the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic vicinity. A weak shortwave impulse will be
    oriented near Lake Michigan toward AL/GA during the morning, and
    lift northeast to the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic coastal vicinity by the
    end of the period. A belt of enhanced southwesterly midlevel flow
    associated with this feature will overspread portions of the TN
    Valley to the Mid-Atlantic atop a moist boundary layer and modest
    lapse rate environment. This should support scattered thunderstorm
    development across much of the southern/central Appalachians into
    the VA/NC Piedmont and Chesapeake Bay vicinity through Monday
    evening.

    To the west, a deep mid/upper trough will eject from the Rockies and
    across the Plains toward the MS Valley vicinity during the forecast
    period. A plume of steep midlevel lapse rates will overspread the
    southern Plains and mid-MS/lower OH Valleys ahead of a cold front
    and atop a seasonally moist boundary layer. Severe thunderstorms are
    expected near/ahead of the front from the southern Plains into the
    Ohio Valley through Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Some of
    these storms could produce very large hail, significant wind damage
    and a few tornadoes.

    ...OK/TX to the Lower OH Valley...

    A cold front will extend from a surface low over western IA to a
    surface low over northwest TX Monday morning, while a dryline
    extends southward across northern into central TX. Ahead of these
    features, dewpoints in the 60s will exist, with mid/upper 60s
    dewpoints possible as far north as central IL, and low 70s dewpoints
    from the Arklatex toward the MO bootheel, by Monday evening. A plume
    of steep midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8.5 C/km atop this moist
    boundary layer will aid in moderate to strong destabilization with
    MLCAPE values from 1500-3000 J/kg expected. The strongest
    instability/steepest lapse rate corridor is expected across parts of
    northern AR into far southern MO east/northeast to southern
    IN/western KY.

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may be ongoing ahead of the
    front across eastern IA during the morning. Convection should
    increase and intensify as it shifts east into northern IL through
    the afternoon. Hail and locally damaging gusts will be possible with
    this activity. Convection will develop during the late afternoon
    into the evening hours further south/southwest as upper trough
    ejects into the Plains and the cold front surges east/southeast from
    portions of central MO/IL into southwest OK/northwest TX. This
    activity will develop amid supercell wind profiles and initial
    cellular activity could produce very large hail, damaging gusts and
    a few tornadoes, especially across northern AR/southern MO toward
    southern IL/western KY. Convection may grow upscale late Monday
    night into early Tuesday morning across southeast MO/southern IL and
    spread eastward into the lower OH Valley with a continued damaging
    wind and tornado threat.

    ...Southwest OK/Northwest TX...

    Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop near or behind the
    cold front from late afternoon into the evening. This activity will
    be elevated, but moderate instability and very steep lapse rates
    amid strong shear will support large hail potential. Depending on
    model trends, Slight risk probabilities may need to be expanded
    across this area in later outlooks for SIG hail potential.

    ...Southeast to Mid-Atlantic vicinity...

    While the midlevel shortwave trough will lift northeast of the
    southern Appalachians during the morning hours, a belt of 35-45 kt
    850-700 mb flow will overspread much of the Southeast to
    Mid-Atlantic vicinity. A seasonally warm and moist boundary layer
    will be in place, and scattered thunderstorm development is expected
    during the morning into the afternoon/evening. Slightly increasing
    mid/upper level heights may suppress stronger convection across
    parts of AL/GA, but even pulse-like convection could produce
    sporadic damaging gusts or hail. Further north across the central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic, moderate shear and instability will
    support isolated strong to severe thunderstorms, mainly capable of
    strong gusts and hail.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widespread strong to severe thunderstorm development is possible
    Tuesday from the lower Mississippi and Ohio Valleys into the
    Allegheny and Cumberland Plateau regions. This will include a risk
    for large hail, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.

    ...Synopsis...

    The severe weather forecast for Tuesday remains complex with
    lingering uncertainty. Most of the forecast changes for this cycle
    are peripheral/modest for the Slight and Enhanced risk areas. The
    Marginal risk area has been expanded quite a bit to the east, from
    the South Carolina to Delmarva coast.

    On a broader scale, an upper trough extending from the Upper Midwest
    to southwest TX/northeast Mexico will migrate eastward, becoming
    oriented from the upper Great Lakes to GA by Wednesday morning.
    Several smaller shortwave perturbations are forecast to eject
    northeastward across parts of the lower MS Valley to the lower Great
    Lakes vicinity as well as portions of the central
    Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic vicinity. At the surface, a seasonally
    moist airmass will be in place, with mid 60s to low 70s dewpoints as
    far north as the TN Valley and into the Carolinas/Chesapeake Bay
    vicinity. Low to mid 60s dewpoints will spread further north into
    the lower Great Lakes eastward toward the I-95 corridor from
    Philadelphia into southern NJ. Meanwhile, an EML characterized by
    steep 700-500 mb lapse rates around 7-8 C/km will advect eastward
    across the lower MS Valley into the TN Valley, aiding in strong
    destabilization with MLCAPE values forecast around 2000-3000 J/kg.
    Weaker, but still sufficient lapse rates will exist across parts of
    the Ohio Valley eastward to the mid-Atlantic coast. A belt of
    increasing southwesterly midlevel flow will overspread much of the
    lower MS Valley into the Mid-Atlantic ahead of the main upper
    trough, providing further support for organized convection. As a
    result, a broad area of strong to severe thunderstorms are expected
    across a large part of the southeastern US into the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Southeast...

    The greatest/most concentrated severe threat on Tuesday appears to
    extend parts of AR/LA eastward into TN/AL/GA. Some uncertainty
    continues across this region as ongoing convection is expected over
    parts of the area during the morning hours as an MCS spreads
    eastward across the Ohio Valley and perhaps parts of the TN Valley.
    How this system from the Day 1/Monday period evolves will have some
    impact on how further convection develops later in the
    morning/afternoon as the airmass recovers ahead of the main surface
    cold front spreading southeast through the afternoon. Little capping
    is expected across the area and pockets of stronger heating will
    likely result in early development of thunderstorm clusters across
    parts of MS/AL/GA. While effective shear will initially be modest,
    this should rapidly increase through the morning. This initial
    activity will pose a threat for all severe hazards, including hail,
    damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes.

    By late morning/early afternoon, convection is expected to develop
    along the surface cold front from parts of AR into far east TX. Some
    of this activity will likely remain cellular initially amid
    supercell wind profiles. With midlevel lapse rates around 7.5-8 C/km
    this activity could produce significant hail, in addition to
    damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes. With time, stronger
    forcing and boundary-parallel deep layer flow should result in
    upscale growth into bowing/linear segments as convection shifts
    eastward across MS/LA and into AL during the afternoon/evening. This
    will increase the potential for more widespread damaging gusts, and
    favorable low level speed shear should continue to support
    mesovortex tornado potential along the line.

    ...Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic...

    A moist boundary layer (low to mid 60s F dewpoints) beneath modest
    midlevel lapse rates will be in place on Tuesday amid 35-50 kt
    850-700 mb west/southeasterly flow. MLCAPE values around 1500-2500
    J/kg are forecast as pockets of strong heating result in steepening
    low level lapse rates. Low level flow will remain weak, but marginal
    supercell wind profiles should support isolated to scattered
    organized thunderstorm development during the afternoon. A
    well-mixed boundary layer, with inverted-v low level thermodynamic
    profiles indicate potential for locally damaging gusts. Some of the
    stronger cells also could produce marginally sever hail.

    Some guidance suggests that the morning MCS over parts of OH/TN
    Valley may continue eastward and spread into parts of VA/NC/SC. If
    an organized convective system can be maintained, this could
    increase damaging wind potential during the afternoon/evening and an
    upgrade to Slight risk could be needed in later outlooks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Florida...

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

    ...Middle Mississippi Valley vicinity...

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

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

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

    ...Central/Southern Plains...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL

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

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

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

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

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

    Flow aloft will remain northwesterly across the Divide as shortwave

    subtle flow enhancement within the central High Plains. A weak lee trough/cyclone and increasing 850 mb winds will aid in moisture
    transport to the north, though dewpoints likely will not exceed the
    low/mid 50s F. Isolated to widely scattered storms are most likely
    to initiate within the High Plains lee trough with some potential
    for a semi-organized cluster or two to persist into the evening
    aided by the low-level jet.

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

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

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

    Day 2 Convective Outlook

    Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are expected within the
    central and southern High Plains on Sunday afternoon and evening.
    Damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the primary threats.

    ...Synopsis...
    A weak ridge aloft will persist into Sunday evening across the
    southern/central Plains. This feature will begin to break down
    Sunday night as an upper-level trough moves towards the Four
    Corners. Strong heating in the central/southern Rockies and along a
    southern Plains dryline will provide focus for afternoon
    thunderstorm development. Steep mid-level lapse rates are expected
    to remain in place, though deep-layer shear will not be overly
    strong. Strong/severe wind gusts and large hail will be possible,
    particularly in parts of the southern High Plains.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    A relatively more favorable overlap of deep-layer winds and buoyancy
    will exist across parts of the combined Panhandles into the South
    Plains. Mid-level lapse rates may not be as steep as Saturday, but
    continued moisture return and strong heating will lead to the
    development of moderate instability by afternoon. Storm development
    is most likely along the dryline, near the weak surface cyclone
    along the NM/TX border. Deep layer shear will remain marginal,
    similar to previous days. Some initial supercell storms will likely
    grow upscale relatively quickly and move slowly eastward. Large hail
    will be most likely early in storm evolution. The previous day's
    convection may leave an outflow boundary within the region. This
    could potentially provide focus for a more organized wind threat. At
    present, models suggest this may occur along/near the Red River.
    Farther north into southwest Kansas, shear magnitudes will be weaker
    and storm organization is less certain. However, a few storms are
    still expected to develop along the higher terrain in Colorado and
    move eastward posing a threat for strong/damaging winds and perhaps
    hail.

    ...Northeastern Colorado/northern Kansas/central Missouri...
    Though deep-layer flow will be weaker, potentially moderate
    instability will develop near surface trough/warm front across the
    central Plains into the Mid-Missouri Valley. Storm initiation is
    most likely off of the higher terrain in Colorado. Low and mid-level
    lapse rates will be sufficient for large hail and damaging winds.
    Scattered storms may also develop near the front in eastern Kansas
    into central Missouri in association with a mesovortex moving out of
    Oklahoma. Cloud cover complicates how unstable the airmass will
    become, but a marginal wind gust and hail threat will be possible
    during the afternoon.

    ...Edwards Plateau into central Texas...
    Storm coverage is not expected to be more than isolated on account
    of stronger capping in this region. With the approach of the
    shortwave trough to the west, a modest increase in mid-level winds
    will bring effective shear values to near 40 kts. An isolated
    supercell or two will be possible with a threat for large hail and strong/severe wind gusts. The development of a low-level jet may
    help some of this activity persist to the east into the evening,
    though CIN will also be increasing with eastward extent.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of very large hail, damaging wind, and
    a couple of tornadoes will be possible Monday afternoon into Monday
    night from portions of the central and southern High Plains into
    southwest Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    On the large scale, a mid/upper-level low over the Southwest on
    Monday morning is forecast to move slowly eastward through the
    period, as an upper ridge builds from the Southeast into the Great
    Lakes. Convectively enhanced vorticity maxima will likely be
    embedded within the larger scale trough, with at least one such
    feature potentially emanating out of the southern/central High
    Plains during the day. A surface low will likely remain anchored
    somewhere over west TX during the day on Monday, while a surface
    ridge influences much of the eastern CONUS.

    ...Southern/central Great Plains into southwest TX...
    Confidence is low regarding the evolution of convection and severe
    potential over portions of the southern/central Plains on Monday
    into Monday night, due to the likely presence of multiple MCVs
    and/or outflow-generated boundaries across the region.

    Relatively speaking, the highest confidence in severe potential is
    from portions from southwest TX into the southern High Plains. In
    this region, low-level southeasterly flow will transport relatively
    rich low-level moisture beneath very steep lapse midlevel lapse
    rates. Strong instability may develop to the east of a dryline from
    portions of the TX/OK Panhandles southward into southwest TX.
    Midlevel flow will gradually increase across this region in advance
    of the upper low, allowing effective shear to increase into the
    30-40 kt range. Isolated supercell development will be possible by
    late afternoon/early evening along the dryline, posing a conditional
    risk of very large hail and perhaps a couple of tornadoes. More
    widespread development is possible later Tuesday night across
    western portions of the Texas Hill Country into parts of the Big
    Bend region, as large-scale ascent increases ahead of the upper low.
    The late-night storms will pose a threat of hail, locally severe
    wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado or two with any supercells that
    can remain surface based. An upgrade may eventually be needed for
    some portion of the Slight Risk area, if confidence increases in the development of at least a few supercells along/east of the dryline.

    Further north and east across a larger portion of the
    central/southern Plains, widespread convection on D1/Sunday into
    Monday morning will likely generate one or more MCVs and outflow
    boundaries, resulting in too many potential scenarios to mention at
    this time. In general, moisture transport into the region will
    likely sustain clusters of convection through the day. Midlevel flow
    and effective shear will generally weaken with northward and
    eastward extent, but may still be strong enough to support at least
    weakly organized storms, with some potential for hail and/or
    damaging wind.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
    SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SURROUNDING AREAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms -- including risk for large hail and locally damaging
    winds -- are expected Tuesday across portions of the southern Plains
    region and into eastern Kansas/western Missouri/Arkansas.

    ...Synopsis...
    While a pronounced northern-stream upper trough will move across
    northwestern portions of the U.S. Tuesday, the primary upper feature
    with respect to convective weather will be a decelerating upper
    trough/low moving into the southern Rockies area. Ahead of this
    system, broad ascent will be maintained across the south-central
    U.S., along with a zone of enhanced mid-level southwesterlies.

    At the surface, a cold front associated with the northwestern U.S.
    upper trough will shift eastward across the northern Intermountain
    region, while high pressure prevails in the East. Ill-defined/broad
    low pressure is expected over the south-central states ahead of the
    slow-moving upper system, with primary baroclinic boundaries largely convectively induced.

    ...South-central U.S. and vicinity...
    A complex scenario is anticipated Tuesday across the south-central
    U.S. and vicinity, as the upper low/trough progressing across the
    Four Corners states today/Day 1 slows/lingers over the southern
    Rockies Tuesday. A belt of moderately strong southwesterly flow
    aloft will spread across the southern Plains on the southeastern
    periphery of the upper low, atop persistent low-level
    southeasterlies, providing a background kinematic environment
    supportive of organized/severe storms. However, locations where
    greater risk will exist remain quite difficult to discern, as widespread/ongoing early-day convection and associated outflow
    across the southern Plains will substantially influence/modulate
    areas of subsequent favorable destabilization and associated
    convective persistence/redevelopment.

    At this time, it appears that outflow from overnight Oklahoma/north
    Texas convection will have spread westward into the High
    Plains/southward into central Texas/eastward across the Arklatex.
    This outflow should then serve as a primary focus area for storm persistence/redevelopment -- particularly into the afternoon and
    evening hours.

    Storms may initiate over the southern High Plains as far west as
    eastern New Mexico, but weaker flow aloft and lesser instability
    compared to areas farther east should limit overall severe risk.
    MRGL risk will be introduced here, for hail and a locally damaging
    gust or two.

    Greater potential is expected -- pending outflow/convective
    evolution -- from the Hill Country region of central Texas
    northeastward toward the Arklatex. Where ample destabilization of
    the moist boundary layer can occur, favorable deep-layer shear which
    will reside across this area will support organized/rotating storms,
    and all-hazards severe risk with stronger convective cells/elements.


    Lower-probability severe potential should extend northward across
    the Arklatex into eastern Kansas/western Missouri, near the presumed northeastward extent of outflow from the Day 1 convection. While destabilization potential should remain limited by cloud cover,
    ample shear across this area will support a few stronger storms, and
    local severe risk.

    Overnight, convection will continue -- elevated in many locations
    atop a boundary layer stabilized by prior convection -- as low-level
    southerly flow strengthens diurnally. Severe risk -- especially in
    the form of hail -- will likely persist in some areas through the
    end of the period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are possible across far southern
    Texas, with at least isolated severe thunderstorms possible across
    parts of central Texas into the Arklatex tomorrow. A few strong to
    severe thunderstorms are also possible across portions of the
    southern High Plains tomorrow afternoon and evening. Damaging gusts
    and large hail are the primary threats across all threat areas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Mid-level troughing and associated deep-layer meridional flow will
    persist across the southern CONUS tomorrow. Through the day, broad
    20-30 kt 850 mb flow will continue to advect deep moisture northward
    beneath a steep lapse rate plume to support ample instability in the
    presence of modest deep-layer shear. Multiple areas of organized
    storms from Day 1 may be ongoing at the start of the period,
    introducing some uncertainties as to the exact placement and timing
    of strong to severe storms through Day 2. Nonetheless, the
    aforementioned instability in place suggests that some organized
    severe potential will take place across portions of the
    south-central U.S. tomorrow.

    ...Far south-central TX...
    Surface outflow remnant from an MCS expected across central TX on
    Day 1 is expected to continue drifting southward across southern TX
    at the start of the Day 2 period. With the onset of diurnal heating,
    surface temperatures are expected to warm into the 80s F, with
    dewpoints over 70F south of the boundary, promoting over 3000 J/kg
    MLCAPE in the morning given the presence of 8+ C/km 700-500 mb lapse
    rates. Despite the modest (i.e. 25-30 kts) effective bulk shear in
    place, strong instability is expected to foster robust thunderstorm
    development around 15-18Z, both with rejuvenated convection along
    the southward sagging outflow boundary, and with new convective
    development off of the steeper terrain in northeast Mexico. Large
    hail may accompany initial transient supercells, and a 2 inch
    diameter stone or two cannot be completely ruled out. However, cold
    pool mergers amidst relatively weak low-level flow fields are
    expected to result in rapid upscale growth into linear segments,
    where damaging gusts will quickly become the primary concern. The
    northern bounds of the Slight risk may need to be considerably
    adjusted based on the position of Day 1 remnant convective outflow
    boundaries, including the potential for northward expansions.

    ...Central TX into LA...
    As the Day 1 convective outflow boundaries continue to sag southeast
    through the day, re-intensification of convection along these
    boundaries are expected, with potentially more than one MCS(s)
    propagating across central and eastern TX into LA during the morning
    to mid-afternoon hours. A couple damaging gusts and perhaps a severe
    hailstone or two may accompany the stronger storm cores embedded in
    the MCSs.

    ...Portions of the southern High Plains...
    A mid-level impulse is expected to slowly eject into the southern
    High Plains tomorrow, promoting the development of multiple rounds
    of convection through the day. Consideration was given to the
    addition of a Slight risk across portions of the Texas Panhandle
    into the Texas Rolling Plains area. However, mid-morning convection
    may promote enough convective overturning to inhibit relatively more
    robust convection late in the afternoon event ahead of the dryline
    tomorrow. Nonetheless, 7.5-8.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates atop deep
    low-level moisture is expected promote 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE,
    particularly in areas that may remain free from earlier day
    convection, that combined with 25-40 kts of effective bulk shear and
    100+ m2/s2 effective SRH may promote brief instances of large hail,
    damaging gusts, and perhaps a tornado during the late afternoon with
    some of the stronger storms. A Slight risk upgrade may be needed if
    convective interference of early day storms becomes less of a
    concern.

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE DAKOTAS AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS...AND OVER
    PORTIONS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST/UPPER GREAT LAKES...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    CORRECTED TEXT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN NEW
    MEXICO...PARTS OF TEXAS...ARKLATEX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of a hail and wind risk are
    possible over eastern New Mexico and the Texan portion of the Rio
    Grande Valley. Isolated damaging gusts may occur from northeast
    Texas into Arkansas on Tuesday.

    ...Eastern NM into southwest and south TX...
    A cluster of residual morning thunderstorms may be ongoing across
    the Edwards Plateau/Rio Grande vicinity or residual outflow from
    overnight activity. Several convection-allowing models show a
    mostly decaying band of storms prior to the start of the Day-2
    period or during Tuesday morning. Although it seems unlikely at
    this time, it is possible a rejuvenation of these thunderstorms
    occurs during the day into parts of south TX. An associated risk
    for severe gusts would be the primary threat. The focus for severe thunderstorms will shift westward near the higher terrain later in
    the afternoon where strong heating is forecast. Models show a
    ribbon of stronger mid-level flow will be over southwest TX, which
    would potentially aid in storm organization. Isolated severe
    thunderstorms are forecast for southwest TX northward into parts of
    eastern NM where storm development is most likely. Hail/wind will
    be the primary risks with the stronger storms with a lessening
    severe risk by mid evening.

    ...Arklatex...
    Morning showers and thunderstorms are likely mostly from far
    northeast TX northward into OK/western AR during the morning due in
    part to a LLJ and associated warm air advection. A mid-level trough
    over the central states will gradually move southward towards the
    region during the day. Despite early day convection and associated
    cloud debris, pockets of stronger heating may lead to additional
    storms developing during the afternoon into the early evening.
    Mid-level lapse rates will likely remain modest and it currently
    seems isolated damaging gusts will be the main threat with the
    stronger storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND INTO WEST TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE
    VALLEY...AND ALSO ACROSS THE ARKLATEX VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of a hail and wind risk are
    possible over eastern New Mexico and the Texas portion of the Rio
    Grande Valley. Isolated damaging gusts may also occur from
    northeast Texas into Arkansas on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Little change in the upper flow field is expected across the U.S. on
    Tuesday, with only slow eastward progression of the main
    longer-wavelength features -- specifically a positively tilted
    trough extending from the Great Lakes to the southern Plains.

    At the surface, a fairly weak/nondescript pattern will prevail
    across a majority of the country, with high pressure predominant. A
    weak surface low/front moving across Texas -- associated with
    small-scale troughing moving through the broader cyclonic flow aloft
    -- will focus widespread storms and local severe potential.

    ...Eastern New Mexico and West Texas/the Rio Grande Valley...
    Moist easterly flow will continue Tuesday across West Texas and the
    Rio Grande Valley. Meanwhile, weak lee troughing is expected to
    evolve during the afternoon over the High Plains of eastern New
    Mexico, as the upper trough shifts slowly east of the area, and thus
    a bit more of a northwesterly/downslope component of the flow field
    aloft evolving with time.

    Showers and thunderstorms may be ongoing/lingering at the start of
    the period over parts of South Texas, particularly in the vicinity
    of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where some gusty/damaging wind
    potential may continue early in the period.

    Later, upslope flow into the higher terrain of West Texas and also
    parts of northern Mexico, along with weak ascent/convergence near
    the New Mexico lee trough, should result in isolated afternoon storm development, as the airmass destabilizes diurnally. With enhanced
    westerly flow aloft atop low-level easterlies, particularly across
    West Texas, a few storms will likely become organized/supercellular,
    posing a risk for large hail and locally damaging wind gusts. At
    this time, coverage of convection appears likely to remain limited,
    and thus will maintain only 5%/MRGL risk across the region.

    ...Arklatex region and vicinity...
    Showers and scattered thunderstorms may be ongoing across parts of
    East Texas and the Arklatex region at the start of the period, ahead
    of a very weak surface low/cold front drifting eastward across the
    southern Plains. While this precipitation and cloud cover may
    negatively affect afternoon heating/destabilization potential in
    some areas, pockets of greater CAPE development will likely support
    an afternoon increase in coverage/intensity of storms near and ahead
    of the surface system. While deep-layer shear is expected to remain
    fairly weak, gusty/locally damaging winds may occur with a couple of
    the stronger storms into the evening hours.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Northern Plains...

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

    ...Northern New England...

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

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

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

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

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

    ...Northern High Plains...

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Day 2 Convective Outlook

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    WESTERN AND CENTRAL NE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms appear possible late Wednesday afternoon
    into Wednesday night across parts of the central Plains and Upper
    Midwest. Damaging winds and large hail should be the main threats.

    ...Central Plains into the Midwest...
    A Slight Risk has been introduced across portions of NE, where
    confidence is somewhat greater in the potential for storms capable
    of damaging wind and large hail through late evening. The Marginal
    Risk has been extended eastward into portions of IA/MO, mainly for
    threat of an overnight MCS.

    One or more vorticity maxima are expected to move along the
    western/northern periphery of an upper ridge that will briefly build
    into portions of the central/southern Rockies and High Plains.
    Widely scattered high-based convection is expected to develop across
    western NE into northwest KS, within a hot and well-mixed
    environment. Storms will spread eastward into a more moist/unstable
    environment and potentially intensify for a time during the evening.
    Severe wind gusts will be the initial threat with storms moving out
    of the NE Panhandle, given large DCAPE and potential for
    consolidating outflows within a well-mixed environment. A somewhat
    more conditional threat will extend into parts of southwest/central
    NE, where MLCINH will be stronger, but a few discrete surface-based
    cells will be possible, posing a threat of both severe wind and
    large hail, given very steep midlevel lapse rates associated with
    the well-defined EML emanating out of the central Rockies.

    The strong EML may tend to suppress surface-based convection as
    diurnal cooling/stabilization commences Wednesday night, but will
    also support the potential for vigorous elevated convection, as a
    southwesterly low-level jet increases across the region. Uncertainty
    remains regarding the convective evolution overnight, but potential
    will exist for ongoing storms, or renewed later development, to
    evolve into a forward propagating MCS, which would pose a threat of
    damaging wind and sporadic hail downstream into portions of eastern
    KS/NE and western IA/northern MO.

    ...Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes...
    A midlevel shortwave trough is forecast to move across portions of
    SK/MB during the day on Wednesday, as a cold front moves into
    portions of ND and northern MN. Buoyancy will be limited by
    generally modest low-level moisture, but may become sufficient to
    support widely scattered thunderstorm development along the front by
    late afternoon. Effective shear of 30-40 kt will favor some
    organized storms capable of locally damaging wind gusts and perhaps
    some hail. Some portion of northern MN may eventually require a
    Slight Risk upgrade if confidence increases in a sufficient coverage
    of storms along the front.

    Frontal storms will tend to weaken during the evening due to
    nocturnal cooling/stabilization of the boundary layer, but renewed
    elevated convection is expected by late Wednesday night from
    central/northeast MN into northern WI and perhaps the U.P. of MI, as
    a southwesterly low-level jet increases with time. Steep midlevel
    lapse rates will favor a hail threat with this activity, while some
    damaging wind risk may also evolve if convection grows upscale
    overnight as it moves southeastward.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF NORTHERN MO AND FAR NORTHEAST KS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across a broad
    region of the central Plains, Mid Mississippi Valley, and upper
    Midwest on Thursday. The greatest threat is currently forecast over
    northern Missouri and vicinity during the afternoon and evening,
    with a risk of large hail, damaging wind, and a tornado or two.

    ...Central Plains into Upper Midwest and Mid Mississippi Valley...
    An Enhanced Risk has been added across portions of far northeast KS
    into northern MO, where confidence in potentially multiple rounds of strong/severe storms is currently highest.

    Considerable uncertainty remains regarding the evolution of early
    day convection. One MCS (or its remnant) may be ongoing across some
    portion of IA/MO/western IL Thursday morning, while another may be
    ongoing across some portion of WI/MI. These systems could pose a
    threat of isolated damaging wind during the morning, but should tend
    to weaken with time as they move southeastward out of the primary
    instability axis.

    Meanwhile, a surface low is forecast to deepen through the afternoon
    across central KS, as persistent southerly surface flow continues to
    maintain rich low-level moisture into portions of the central Plains
    and MO/MS Valleys. Redevelopment of intense convection is expected
    by afternoon, along the eastern edge of an EML emanating out of the central/southern Rockies/High Plains. Initiation will likely be
    associated with outflows from overnight convection, aided by a
    seasonably strong southwesterly low-level jet.

    At this time, the most favored region appears to be from extreme
    northeast KS into northern MO, where multiple rounds of potentially
    severe storms from afternoon into the evening/overnight will be
    possible. Initial redevelopment during the afternoon, and potential backbuilding storms Thursday evening on the western edge of ongoing
    convection, will pose a threat of large hail. Low-level shear may be
    sufficient to support some tornado threat with any surface-based
    supercell, especially with any cell interacting with a modified
    outflow boundary. Damaging winds could become the primary concern
    with time, especially with any bowing segments that can develop.

    Across portions of WI into the U.P of MI, thunderstorm development
    will be possible by late afternoon along a cold front and any
    remnant outflow boundaries. Instability and shear will support a
    threat of hail and locally damaging wind with the strongest storms.

    ...Central High Plains...
    High-based convection is again expected to develop across portions
    of the central High Plains during the afternoon, posing an initial
    threat of localized severe wind gusts and perhaps some hail. As this
    convection spreads eastward, it will encounter a much more
    moist/unstable environment and could potentially intensify into
    Thursday evening. As this occurs, any remaining semi-discrete storms
    would continue to pose a threat of large hail, while potential will
    exist for an upscale-growing cluster capable of at least localized
    significant (65 kt or greater) wind gusts, given ample DCAPE across
    the region.

    ...Northern Plains...
    Isolated to scattered storms should develop through the day along a
    secondary cold front from parts of northeastern MT into the Dakotas
    as a subtle shortwave trough moves across this region. Low-level
    moisture and boundary-layer instability will likely remain rather
    limited, with surface dewpoints mainly in the low to mid 50s. Still,
    this weak instability coupled with strong deep-layer shear may be
    sufficient for isolated supercells to pose a severe hail and
    strong/gusty wind threat through at least the early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST/MID MS
    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are expected Friday from portions
    of the southern/central Plains to the mid Mississippi Valley and
    Midwest. Large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a couple of tornadoes
    will be possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A relatively active severe thunderstorm episode appears possible on
    Friday, though considerable uncertainty remains regarding the
    details. A broad Slight Risk has been maintained with this outlook,
    though some areas may eventually require an upgrade as the mesoscale
    details become clearer.

    ...Central Plains into the Midwest/Mid MS Valley/OH Valley...
    Storms will likely be ongoing Friday morning across portions of the
    central Plains, mid MS Valley, and possibly into the lower Great
    Lakes/OH Valley. Any remnant MCSs may be capable of producing
    locally damaging wind during the morning, though a general weakening
    trend is expected through midday. A convectively reinforced boundary
    will likely run from the central High Plains east-northeastward into
    portions of the OH Valley by early afternoon. A positively tilted mid/upper-level trough will maintain a corridor of 30-40 kt
    southwesterly midlevel flow across the effective warm sector, with
    localized enhancement to deep-layer flow/shear possible near any
    embedded MCVs.

    Renewed thunderstorm development will be possible by late
    afternoon/early evening near a lee surface trough across the central
    High Plains, along a cold front moving into parts of western/central
    NE, and near and north of the effective warm front across a broad
    region from KS/MO into IL/IN. Moderate to locally strong instability
    and effective shear of 30-40 kt will favor multiple organized
    thunderstorm clusters capable of damaging winds and large hail. A
    seasonably strong low-level jet will also support sufficient
    low-level shear for some tornado threat, especially near any
    modifying outflow during the late afternoon and early evening.
    Uncertainty remains too high to delineate any 5% tornado probability
    areas with this outlook, though.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    The Slight Risk has been expanded into a larger portion of the
    southern High Plains. The southern extent of stronger midlevel
    flow/deep-layer shear is forecast to extend into northern portions
    of the TX South Plains. Storm development is expected along the
    dryline, with organized multicell clusters and perhaps a couple of
    supercells possible by early evening. Severe wind gusts and large
    hail will be possible into mid evening before storms weaken as they
    move eastward into an increasingly stable environment.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible from parts of the southern/central Plains to the mid Mississippi Valley/Midwest and
    Great Lakes Saturday. Damaging wind and hail are the main threats.

    ...Southern Plains region...

    By 12Z Saturday, a cold front will likely extend from a surface low
    across western IA southwest through eastern KS into northwest OK and
    the southern TX Panhandle. Showers and a few thunderstorms may still
    be in progress south of this front from the middle MS Valley through
    a portion of OK. However, this activity should gradually diminish
    through the morning as the southerly low-level jet veers and
    weakens. The warm sector south of these boundaries is expected to
    become moderately unstable with up to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE during the
    afternoon. This region will reside along the southern periphery of a
    positive tilt upper trough. A series of vorticity maxima will move
    through the base of this feature and interact with the residual
    boundaries. Storms are expected to redevelop along outflow
    boundaries and the front from the TX Panhandle through northwest TX
    and into OK. Additional storms will spread east off the higher
    terrain of NM and into west TX. A belt of somewhat stronger mid
    level winds aloft will reside in vicinity of the front and
    contribute to 35-40 kt effective bulk shear. Both multicell and a
    few supercells are expected with storms eventually congealing into lines/clusters during the evening. Damaging wind gusts and large
    hail will be the main threats, especially from late afternoon into
    the evening.

    ...Midwest through Great Lakes...

    Shortwave trough currently moving into the central High Plains will
    continue slowly east and into the upper MS Valley and Great Lakes
    region this period. A surface low associated with this feature is
    expected to move from IA into southern WI during the day with a warm
    front extending eastward from this feature moving north into the
    southern portion of the Great Lakes. It is likely that ongoing areas
    of precipitation and clouds, especially along and north of the warm
    front, will limit destabilization potential to some degree. However,
    some destabilization is expected to develop northward in the moist
    warm sector south of the warm front during the afternoon from IA
    into southern WI. Thunderstorms are expected to develop near and
    south of the surface low along a cold front as the atmosphere
    destabilizes during the afternoon. A belt of stronger winds aloft
    accompanying the shortwave trough will contribute to up to 40 kt
    effective bulk shear with potential for organized storms including a
    few supercells with damaging wind, hail as well as a couple of
    tornadoes possible. Have expanded the MRGL risk northward to account
    for this scenario. Once confidence in more robust boundary layer destabilization is high enough, an upgrade to SLGT category might be
    warranted in day 1 updates.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM OZARK
    PLATEAU THROUGH THE LOWER/MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY INTO LOWER MICHIGAN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from Ozark Plateau
    through the Lower/Middle Ohio Valley into Lower Michigan Sunday
    afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    An omega block pattern, with the high centered over southern British
    Columbia and the low centered well off the northern CA coast (near
    130W) is forecast to be in place over the western CONUS early Sunday
    morning. Farther east, an upper trough will likely be in place
    across the central CONUS while the western periphery of a building
    subtropical ridge is in place over the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

    This overall pattern is not expected to change much throughout the
    period, aside from some modest weakening of the high centered over
    southern British Columbia and very modest dampening of the central
    CONUS upper trough. Despite this relatively stagnant upper pattern,
    widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated within the moist
    air mass in place east of the Rockies. Thunderstorms will likely be
    ongoing in the wake of a weakening cold front from the TX Permian
    Basin northeastward into the Ozark Plateau early Sunday morning.
    Locally enhanced low-level moisture and convergence in the vicinity
    of the front will help foster additional storm development
    throughout the afternoon and evening. In general, the stronger
    mid-level flow and resulting stronger vertical shear is expected to
    remain to the north/west of the front, limiting storm
    organization/severity. Even so, a few strong to severe storms are
    possible from the Ozark Plateau through Mid MS/Lower OH Valleys into
    Lower MI where the overlap between buoyancy and vertical shear is
    greatest.

    Elsewhere, a tropical wave moving across the western Gulf will
    contribute to thunderstorms across the western/central Gulf Coast
    regions. Also, a series of shortwave troughs moving southward
    through the western periphery of the upper trough across central
    Rockies will aid in thunderstorm development across CO and NM.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OZARK
    PLATEAU NORTHEASTWARD INTO PORTIONS OF THE OH VALLEY AND LOWER MI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon and
    evening from the Ozark Plateau northeastward into portions of the
    Ohio Valley and lower Michigan. Locally damaging winds are expected
    to be the primary threat.

    ...Ozark Plateau into the OH Valley/lower MI...
    A threat of locally damaging winds may develop Sunday afternoon and
    evening from the Ozark Plateau northeastward into portions of the OH
    Valley and lower MI. Multiple clusters of thunderstorms will likely
    evolve along a surface boundary by afternoon, aided by a series of
    vorticity maxima embedded within a belt of modestly enhanced
    southwesterly midlevel flow. Midlevel lapse rates will be weak, but
    the strongest cells/clusters may be capable of locally damaging wind
    gusts associated with downbursts and/or consolidated outflows. A
    brief tornado cannot be ruled out within this very moist regime, but
    any such threat will depend on mesoscale details (regarding
    destabilization and low-level shear enhancement) that are still
    quite uncertain at this time.

    ...Northern Maine...
    As a midlevel shortwave trough and an associated surface low move
    across Quebec during the day, wind profiles will become favorable
    for organized convection across northern Maine. However, generally
    weak instability and a lack of large-scale ascent may tend to limit
    storm coverage, with recent guidance showing little indication of
    substantial development south of the international border. If
    confidence increases in storm development during the afternoon along
    a surface trough, then probabilities may need to be added in
    subsequent updates.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
    EASTERN/DOWNEAST MAINE...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper ridge anchoring the northwest CONUS/southwest Canada omega
    block is expected to persist throughout the day Monday, even as a
    shortwave trough progresses through its western periphery. Upper
    troughing is forecast to be in place from Ontario southwestward into
    NM early Monday. This upper trough is expected to slowly progress
    eastward while modest dampening throughout the period. Subtropical
    ridging across the eastern CONUS is also expected to remain in
    place. In general, a relatively stagnant upper pattern is currently
    forecast.

    ...Ozark Plateau across Mid MS Valley into Lower MI...
    A belt of slightly stronger southwesterly flow aloft is anticipated
    between the central CONUS troughing and eastern CONUS ridging,
    starting over central OK and continuing northeastward through the
    Upper Great Lakes. This corridor aligns well with the region of
    low-level convergence between the moist, tropical air mass over much
    of the MS Valley and eastern CONUS and the more continental air mass
    over the northern/central Plains. This low-level convergence is
    expected to provide the forcing needed for thunderstorm development
    once the air mass destabilizes amid daytime heating. Overall
    buoyancy will be limited, tempered by poor lapse rates, and vertical
    shear will be modest, even with the slightly stronger mid-level
    flow. A few stronger storms are possible but coverage of severe
    thunderstorms is currently expected to be too low to merit
    introducing any probabilities.

    ...Maine...
    Subtle shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly through the far
    northern periphery of the eastern CONUS subtropical ridge. An
    associated surface low will precede this shortwave, moving across
    eastern Quebec into New Brunswick, while an attendant cold front
    pushes eastward across New England.

    Mid-level lapse will be relatively poor, but warm and moist low
    levels will still support modest instability. As a result, isolated thunderstorms may develop along and ahead of the cold front.
    Westerly flow aloft appears strong enough for sporadic updraft
    organization and a few damaging wind gusts.

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

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

    ...Synopsis...

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

    ...Maine...

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

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

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

    INTO NORTHERN IL/IN/OH...

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

    ...Great Lakes Vicinity...

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

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

    ...AZ...

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

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

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

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

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

    in the period from the Edwards Plateau into northeast Texas. As
    scattered showers develop overnight Monday, a few embedded
    thunderstorms may occur given the weak elevated buoyancy present.
    Though shear will be strong, the poor thermodynamic environment will

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible from the southern
    Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Severe weather
    is not currently anticipated.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper-level troughing is expected to evolve over much of the
    West on Tuesday. A shortwave perturbation is expected to eject into
    the southern Plains late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. At the
    surface, a cold front should extend from the southern High Plains
    into central Texas before arcing northeastward along the upper Texas
    Gulf Coast and into the lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Southern Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Precipitation is likely to be ongoing early Tuesday morning. Most of
    this activity will be occurring on the cool side of the boundary.
    This should reinforce the front, though some modest northward
    progression of warmer, moist air may occur within the coastal plain
    regions. Potential for surface-based storms south of the boundary in
    southeast Texas/Sabine Valley vicinity appears low as the low-level
    jet will weaken during the morning/afternoon and mid-level ascent
    will be weak. Furthermore, forecast soundings indicate poor lapse
    rates in the column and warm layers that will inhibit updraft
    intensity. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, additional
    isolated to scattered storms are possible from the Edwards Plateau
    into Central/Northeast Texas as mid-level forcing and 850 mb warm
    advection increases. Again, these storms will be elevated on the
    cool side of the boundary. The strongest of these storms could
    produce small hail. The overall severe threat appears too
    isolated/uncertain for unconditional probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    EASTERN LOUISIANA INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND PARTS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms will be possible Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday
    night from the Sabine Valley vicinity into far western Georgia.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough pivoting through the southern High Plains will
    begin to intensify by Wednesday afternoon as it approaches the
    mid-Mississippi Valley. A surface cyclone will evolve along a
    southward-surging cold front in the southern Plains. The surface low
    will deepen more substantially by late afternoon in the
    mid-Mississippi Valley as it moves quickly north and east. Richer
    Gulf moisture will return into the Southeast and may reach as far
    north as portions of Tennessee. The cold front will sweep through
    the Southeast beginning in the late afternoon and into Thursday
    morning.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Central Gulf Coast States...
    Warm advection precipitation will likely be ongoing along the
    surface boundary Wednesday morning. Models vary on the spatial
    extent of precipitation with the ECMWF generally showing less
    clearing during the afternoon than other models. Available CAM
    guidance also shows similar variability. In terms of environment,
    low/mid 60s F dewpoints should reach through much of
    Alabama/Mississippi. Upper 60s F dewpoints are expected in southern Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama, but could potentially push as far
    north as central Mississippi/Alabama as strong advection continues
    into the evening. Effective shear of 50-60 kts will favor organized storms/bowing segments. This shear will initially be roughly
    parallel to the front, but, as the front surges southeast, shear
    vectors will have a greater cross-boundary component. Strong
    low-level shear will also be in place with a 45-55 kt low-level jet
    moving from Louisiana during the morning into Mississippi/Alabama
    during the afternoon.

    The current expectation is for morning storms near the Sabine Valley
    to gradually intensify as they move northeast into a modestly
    destabilizing boundary-layer. How these storms evolve is uncertain.
    Damaging winds are a likely hazard, but, depending on storm mode and
    the degree of heating in Mississippi, could also pose a similar risk
    for tornadoes. Storms along the front are not likely to make much
    progress southeastward until the late afternoon. As the front moves,
    convective transport of the strong wind fields will promote damaging
    winds and strong low-level shear will bring a risk for embedded circulations/QLCS tornadoes. Discrete development ahead of the front
    during the evening is possible given strong theta-e advection and
    weak capping, but synoptic ascent will be displaced north which
    reduces confidence in that scenario. Surface-based storms become
    much less likely into Tennessee and Georgia.
