    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTH-CENTRAL TEXAS...SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...WESTERN/CENTRAL ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on Wednesday, centered
    on central Texas to eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Large
    hail, damaging wind, and a few tornadoes will be possible with
    thunderstorm activity.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough is expected to move eastward across the Southern
    Plains on Wednesday, with multiple rounds of thunderstorm activity
    possible across portions of Texas and Oklahoma. At the start of the
    period Wednesday morning, convection should be ongoing across
    western Oklahoma into northern Texas near the surface low. This
    activity will continue to track eastward through the period and
    intensify through the afternoon/evening, as the surface low moves
    north and eastward. Additional thunderstorm development is expected
    along the southern fringe near the dryline in north-central Texas.

    A warm front extending across portions of Missouri, southern
    Indiana, southern Illinois into northern Kentucky may be the focus
    of strong to severe thunderstorm development Wednesday afternoon.

    ...Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
    The aforementioned thunderstorm activity early in the period
    Wednesday morning is expected to intensify through the afternoon, as
    daytime heating and increasing moisture leads to destabilization
    downstream in the warm sector. By the afternoon, the dryline across
    central Texas will be the focus of new development as upper level
    forcing overspreads the region. With multiple rounds of convection
    expected across the Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma and north
    Texas in the D1 period, there is some uncertainty on where all the
    mesoscale features will be as this occurs. Nonetheless, it appears
    that ahead of the dryline the environment will be characterized by
    steep lapse rates, modest MLCAPE, and strong deep layer shear. This
    will support potential for a few supercells initially capable of
    very large hail. Should the mode remain favorable, the tornado risk
    will increase through the afternoon as the low-level jet strengthens
    and low-level curvature of hodographs increases. A more favorable
    corridor for tornadoes may exist near the Red River across
    southeastern Oklahoma/northern Texas. Upscale growth will promote
    potential for damaging wind, especially across eastern Oklahoma into
    western Arkansas. However, shear will also support potential for
    line embedded circulations.

    Additional thunderstorms may re-develop further west across the
    Texas Panhandle Wednesday afternoon, with potential for large hail.
    At this time, it is uncertain how much recovery can happen from
    multiple rounds of convection late D1 into D2 across this region.

    ...Lower MO/OH Valleys...
    Along the warm front from southern Indiana into southern Illinois
    and northern Kentucky, thunderstorm development is possible
    Wednesday afternoon. Forcing remains weaker across this region, with
    the shortwave back in the southern Plains. However, profiles would
    be supportive of a supercell or two in this region, given the plume
    of steep low to mid-level lapse rates, buoyancy, and sufficient
    shear. These would be capable of hail, severe wind, and potentially
    a tornado. For now, some uncertainty on coverage keeps probabilities
    low.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR CENTRAL TEXAS
    INTO THE MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong/locally severe thunderstorm development is expected from
    central Texas into the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys northward to the
    Great Lakes Thursday. Thunderstorms will pose a risk for strong to
    severe winds and hail.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad region of southwesterly flow aloft will extend across the
    lower Mississippi River Valley into the Great Lakes region Thursday,
    with a mid-level vort max forecast to be moving eastward across the
    Ozarks toward the Ohio Valley. Weak low pressure initially progged
    to reside over the Missouri vicinity will gradually deepen as it
    shifts east-northeastward into the Midwest through the day before
    moving across Lower Michigan and into Ontario overnight. A trailing
    cold front is forecast to shift gradually southeastward across the
    Midwest/Mid Mississippi Valley/southern Plains through the period.

    ...Lower Great Lakes southwestward to Texas...
    Thunderstorm activity will likely be ongoing near the front at the
    edge of the Marginal Risk at the beginning of D2/Thursday. Widely
    scattered thunderstorm activity is expected by the late
    morning/afternoon along and ahead of the front. Flow at 850 mb will
    be strongest from the mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley.
    Sufficient instability will extend far enough northward to the Great
    Lakes region to support a risk for damaging wind. Across the lower
    Mississippi Valley, flow will be weaker but thunderstorms are
    expected to re-develop by the afternoon. Given steep lapse rates,
    sufficient shear, and moderate CAPE, the potential for damaging
    winds will be possible.

    Across central Texas, forcing for ascent will be weaker but a few
    supercells may develop near the dryline. Guidance indicates the
    dryline may surge eastward by the late afternoon. Though the flow is
    weak, around 25-30 kts of deep layer flow across the dryline should
    be sufficient to organize storms. The air mass ahead of the dryline
    will be characterized by MLCAPE around 2000-3000 J/kg and a plume of
    steep low to mid-level lapse rates, and minimal MLCIN. Supercells in
    this regime would be capable of large to very large hail.

    ...Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma...
    Elevated thunderstorms may develop across portions of the
    Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle late in the D2/Thursday period. These would
    likely be initially elevated but would pose some risk for hail and
    damaging wind. Consensus is that this would likely consolidate into
    an MCS and move across western Oklahoma through the end of the
    period, with the damaging wind risk continuing through the end of
    the D2 period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TRANS
    PECOS TO EAST-CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected from the
    Northeast, across the Ohio, Tennessee, and Lower Mississippi Valleys
    and into Texas on Friday. The greatest threat for large hail will be
    from the Trans Pecos to East Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    A surface low will move from Ontario into northern Quebec on Friday
    with a trailing front stalling from the Great Lakes to the Ozarks to
    West Texas. This front will start to accelerate southeast during the
    late afternoon/evening as a positively tilted mid-level trough
    amplifies and moves south across the Plains. Scattered strong to
    severe storms are forecast along this frontal zone Friday
    afternoon/evening.

    ...Trans Pecos to East Texas...
    Moderate instability is forecast south of a frontal zone across
    central Texas Friday afternoon. As the mid-level trough advances
    southward through the Plains, mid-level temperatures will cool and
    ascent will overspread this frontal zone. Therefore, as the airmass
    becomes uncapped, scattered thunderstorms should develop along the
    front. 35 to 40 knots of effective shear should be sufficient for
    supercells with a primary hazard of large hail.

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley to the eastern Great Lakes...
    Scattered thunderstorms are expected along and ahead of the front
    from Louisiana to western New York on Friday afternoon. The best
    flow will be across Kentucky and Ohio and into Pennsylvania and New
    York, but heating/destabilization becomes more questionable that far
    north. The best overlap of mid-level flow and richer low-level
    moisture will be across the Mid-Mississippi Valley. However, cloud
    cover associated with an MCS which is expected to be ongoing at the
    beginning of the period across Texas and Arkansas will limit heating
    and thus destabilization. Better instability will be likely where
    heating can occur to the south of the more extensive cloud cover,
    but shear/forcing becomes weaker farther south and east. Therefore,
    within the broad marginal risk from western New York to Louisiana
    there will likely be one or more corridors with a greater threat for
    severe storms, but those areas will be mesoscale in nature and
    highly dependent on Day 1 convection. Therefore, no higher
    probabilities have been added at this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    WESTERN AND CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from the southern High Plains into
    parts of central Texas Monday afternoon and evening. Large to very
    large hail and severe winds are the primary threats. Additional
    strong to severe storms are possible along the eastern Florida coast
    and from northeast North Carolina to the Lake Erie vicinity.

    ...Synopsis...
    Two upper-level lows, one in the Ohio Valley and the other in the
    Southwest, will make slow eastward progress on Monday. A cold front
    from the Upper Ohio Valley southward into the Mid-Atlantic and
    central Florida will be a focus for convection during the afternoon.
    In the southern High Plains, a surface trough/dryline will form and
    promote afternoon thunderstorms as greater moisture moves westward
    into the region.

    ...Southern High Plains into Central Texas...
    As the upper low advances toward the region late Sunday into Monday,
    some convection is possible from northeast New Mexico into the Texas
    Panhandle and western Oklahoma. Low cloud cover is also expected
    along with the moisture returning northwest across Texas into
    eastern New Mexico. While these will be complicating factors in the
    forecast, the approach of the upper low and embedded perturbations
    will encourage the development of a dryline from far eastern New
    Mexico into the Trans-Pecos. Strong heating along this dryline,
    where upper 50s to mid 60s dewpoints will reside, will drive storm
    development during the afternoon. Hodographs will initially be
    rather straight. Splitting supercells capable of large/very-large
    hail and severe winds are probable. During the early evening, the
    low-level jet will strengthen. Moisture return will increase and
    low-level hodographs will become larger. A zone of greater tornado
    potential is evident from southern portions of the South Plains into
    the northern Permian Basin, particularly for supercells lasting into
    the early evening.

    The evolution of convection becomes a bit more uncertain into the
    later evening. The ramp up in the low-level jet should eventually
    promote upscale growth into a cluster/MCS. This activity could
    persist into parts of central Texas. Model guidance continues to
    differ on the placement of this feature. The exact track will depend
    largely on how far north the greater moisture is able to advect.
    Severe winds would be the primary threat with these storms, though
    low-level shear would also support some tornado risk even with a
    linear mode. During the overnight and into Tuesday morning, the
    greatest mid-level height falls will occur in the southern High
    Plains. An additional cluster/MCS on the retreating dryline. How
    severe this activity will be is unclear given the time of day and
    the preceding convection.

    ...Florida...
    With cold temperatures aloft (-10 to -12 C) remaining over the
    Peninsula and stronger surface heating expected to occur, a few
    strong to severe storms will again be possible along the eastern sea
    breeze boundary. 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE and 25-35 kts of effective
    shear (stronger to the north) will promote supercell structures
    capable of large hail and damaging winds. A brief tornado would be
    possible with storms that interact favorably with the sea breeze boundary.

    ...Mid-Atlantic into Upper Ohio Valley...
    While some precipitation and cloud cover may occur early Monday
    morning, models continue to show agreement that pockets of surface
    heating will promote around 1000 J/kg by the afternoon. Enhanced
    mid-level winds around the Ohio Valley upper low will foster 40-45
    kts of effective shear. Isolated large hail and strong/damaging
    winds will be possible with the strongest storms.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible mainly over
    parts of the Dakotas and Nebraska Wednesday afternoon and evening.
    A more isolated severe threat is anticipated across parts of the
    Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Wednesday afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper trough evident in water-vapor imagery over the Pacific
    Northwest is forecast to pivot into the central and northern Plains
    over the next 48 hours. As this occurs, strong to severe
    thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of the wave and within a
    narrow warm sector in place across parts of the central to northern
    Plains. Across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, a weakening
    upper-level low will continue to de-amplify as it meanders to the
    northeast. Residual 25-35 knot mid-level flow will likely contribute
    to some storm organization as convection develops within a moist and
    weakly capped environment.

    ...Central to Northern Plains...
    Continued deepening of a surface trough is anticipated through the
    next 48 hours across the northern Plains. This will maintain a
    southeasterly flow regime across the Plains with modest moisture
    return anticipated within a narrow plume from NE into the Dakotas by
    Wednesday afternoon. A Pacific cold front, evident in late-evening
    surface observations across the Intermountain West, is forecast to
    progress east and impinge on the narrow warm sector by late
    afternoon/early evening. Storm motions and deep-layer shear vectors
    largely parallel to the front will favor relatively quick upscale
    growth into clusters/linear segments. Although shear will initially
    be modest, the high-based nature of the storms should promote a
    strong/severe wind threat. With time, strengthening mid to
    upper-level flow will elongate hodographs and may support an
    increasing hail threat into the evening hours as convection develops
    southward along the front. Some guidance hints at a second round of
    convection late evening into the overnight hours across southeast SD
    into NE as the primary vorticity maximum ejects into the Plains and
    promotes additional thunderstorm development along the advancing cold front.

    ...Carolinas to Mid-Atlantic...
    A moist air mass will remain in place across the Southeast and
    Mid-Atlantic through the next 48 hours in the absence of any
    synoptic fronts or influential gradient winds. Rich moisture through
    the lowest 100-200 mb will maintain weak capping and support
    diurnally driven convection by late afternoon as surface
    temperatures warm into the mid 70s under broken cloud cover. Similar
    to previous days, which have produced isolated damaging winds, weak
    low-level winds under 25-35 knot mid-level flow will promote
    transient storm organization. While a similar
    thermodynamic/kinematic environment will be in place across much of
    the Southeast on Wednesday, latest CAM guidance suggests the best
    severe potential resides across portions of the Carolinas into the
    DelMarVa region where thunderstorm coverage should be greatest ahead
    of the mid-level vorticity maximum.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO ARKANSAS AND OVER PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC
    AND NORTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday across parts of the Mid
    Atlantic and Northeast, and across parts of the southeastern Great
    Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level low centered across the western Great Lakes Saturday
    morning will shift east through the day and move over the Northeast
    by 12Z Sunday. Moderate to strong mid-level flow will expand south
    from the southern Great Lakes to the Southeast. Farther west, a
    weakening mid-level shortwave trough will advance from northern
    Mexico into the Southern Plains. A mid-level jet streak associated
    with this mid-level shortwave trough will overspread portions of central/northern Texas and into Oklahoma on Saturday. A strong
    mid-level jet streak will move into the Intermountain West on
    Saturday and amplify a trough across the western CONUS.

    ...Mid Atlantic to the Northeast...
    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
    across portions of the Upper Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes.
    This convection and cloudcover associated with it, casts
    considerable uncertainty on destabilization, particularly across the
    Northeast. However, mid-60s dewpoints are anticipated ahead of the
    cold front as it moves eastward through the day. This moisture,
    combined with cooling temperatures aloft. Could be sufficient for
    damaging wind gusts and perhaps isolated large hail.

    The most favorable zone for severe storms will likely exist across
    eastern North Carolina into southeast Virginia. This zone is far
    enough south to likely remain mostly cloud free which will promote
    surface heating and destabilization. In addition, the stronger
    mid-level flow is forecast to overspread this region which would
    support storm organization and the potential for supercells. Given
    the greater instability and shear with potential for supercell storm
    mode, large hail and damaging wind gusts appear most likely within
    this region.

    ...Southeast...
    The cold front will likely become stalled across the Southeast on
    Saturday. South of this front, moderate to strong instability is
    forecast with 50 knots of flow parallel to the boundary. Forcing
    will remain weak along this boundary with minimal surface
    convergence and mostly neutral heights aloft. Therefore, storms are
    possible along this boundary, and could be supercellular if they
    form, but coverage should be isolated if any storms form at all
    given the weak forcing.

    ...Central Texas into Oklahoma, Arkansas, and northern Louisiana...
    Moderate to strong instability is forecast across central/northern
    Texas Saturday afternoon as temperatures warm into the low 80s with
    dewpoints in the low 70s and 500mb temperatures around -10C. Weak
    large scale forcing will overspread the dryline during the afternoon
    as a right entrance region of the upper-level jet overspreads
    northern Texas. Any subtle large scale forcing will likely be
    sufficient for rapid storm development along the uncapped
    dryline/triple point in north-central Texas by mid-afternoon. Large
    hail (some 2+ inch) will be the initial threat from supercells along
    the dryline. However, CAM signals suggest a combination of left and right-moving supercells congealing into a cluster/MCS rather quickly
    with an increasing severe wind threat. These mode concerns limit
    higher hail/tornado probabilities at this time, despite a very
    unstable and strongly sheared environment across the region.

    Additional supercells may develop Saturday evening and into early
    Sunday morning across eastern Oklahoma into the Ozarks as isentropic
    ascent increases with the strengthening low-level jet. These storms
    will pose a primary threat of large hail.

    ...Utah into Southeast Idaho and Southwest Wyoming...
    Rapidly cooling temperatures aloft across the Great Basin on
    Saturday will result in weak destabilization and numerous storms. A
    deep, well-mixed boundary layer will support the potential for
    severe wind gusts from the stronger cores.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHEAST COLORADO...SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA...AND NORTHWEST KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms are expected across portions of the central
    Plains on Friday with more isolated strong to severe storms possible
    across portions of western Texas and southeast Florida.

    ...Synopsis...
    A relatively flat ridge will be present across the central Rockies
    on Friday. Moderate flow across the higher terrain will result in
    lee cyclogenesis across the central High Plains. A dryline will
    extend from the surface low across western Kansas and into the Texas
    Panhandle and West Texas.

    ...Northeast Colorado, southwest Nebraska, and northwest Kansas... Strengthening southerly flow will back through the day with
    consistent boundary layer moistening ahead of the a dryline across
    northeast Kansas. This will likely result in moderate instability
    with steep lapse rates extending from the surface to the mid-levels
    within the strongly mixed zone along the dryline by mid to late
    afternoon. Upper-level forcing will be somewhat nebulous, but as the
    low-level flow backs and strengthens, increased isentropic ascent
    and upslope flow should support scattered storm development during
    the evening. Strong shear will support supercells capable of large
    hail and severe wind gusts.

    ...West Texas into the Texas Panhandle...
    Hot conditions will develop across West Texas on Friday with a very
    deeply mixed boundary layer. Storms will likely develop along the
    dryline during the late afternoon to early evening with some
    organization. Storm mode is the primary factor limiting greater
    probabilities at this time. Modest shear may support some supercell
    structures amid moderate to strong shear. However, the deeply mixed
    boundary layer will promote strong downdrafts which may support
    rather quick clustering and a more multicell mode. A zone from near
    Midland to Wichita Falls may eventually need a slight risk of storm
    mode remains favorable for a more widespread severe hail/wind gust threat.

    ...Eastern Kansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas into Arkansas...
    Isolated elevated thunderstorms will be possible across portions of
    central Oklahoma into central Kansas on Friday morning. However, the
    low-level jet will not be as strong and storm coverage/intensity may
    not be that great. By Friday night, more widespread elevated
    thunderstorms are likely across eastern Kansas and into parts of
    Oklahoma, southwest Missouri, and western Arkansas. Large hail may
    be possible from this overnight elevated activity.

    ...Eastern Florida...
    Relatively cool mid-level temperatures will be present across
    Florida today. Moderate instability will be in place south of a
    stalled frontal zone across central Florida. Thunderstorms are
    expected along the sea breeze near the east coast of Florida. Modest
    mid-level flow (25 to 30 knots) will result in sufficient shear for
    some multicell storm organization. Isolated large hail and damaging
    wind gusts will be the primary threats.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe storms are expected on Tuesday from parts
    of the southern Plains eastward into the Southeast. The greatest
    threat of large hail and wind damage will be over parts of southwest
    and south-central Texas. A locally greater threat for wind damage
    could also occur in the lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Southern Plains...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward into the Ozarks on
    Tuesday, as flow remains from a westerly direction across much of
    the southern Plains. At the surface, a cold front will advance
    southward into central and southwest Texas. Surface dewpoints near
    and to the south of the front will be in the lower to mid 70s F,
    which will contribute to strong destabilization in some areas by
    midday. As low-level convergence becomes focused near the boundary
    in the afternoon, thunderstorm development is expected. Scattered
    thunderstorms are forecast to develop and move southeastward across
    southwest and south-central Texas, where a severe threat appears likely.

    NAM forecast soundings late Tuesday afternoon near the instability
    maximum have MLCAPE peaking near 2500 J/kg, with 700-500 mb lapse
    rates near 8 C/km. In addition, 0-6 km shear is forecast to be
    around 35 knots, which should support supercells with large hail.
    Hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible,
    with supercells that develop intense cores. As the cluster expands
    in coverage, and moves eastward into south-central Texas, a
    wind-damage threat is also expected.

    Further eastward into southeast Texas, an MCS is forecast to move
    away from the area during the morning. It its wake, a slightly more
    stable airmass should keep convective development more isolated
    during the afternoon. A marginal severe threat will be possible with
    any cells that can initiate and persist as the airmass recovers.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward into the Ozarks on
    Tuesday, as flow remains southwesterly over the southeastern U.S. At
    the surface, a front is forecast to be located from the vicinity of
    southeast Texas extending east-northeastward into the central Gulf
    Coast states. A moist and unstable airmass is expected near and to
    the south of the boundary over the lower Mississippi Valley and
    central Gulf Coast. From the morning into early afternoon, a linear
    MCS is forecast to move from southeast Texas into south-central
    Mississippi. As surface temperatures warm ahead of the MCS, a
    wind-damage threat is expected to develop as the line gradually
    intensifies. Some models suggest that strong instability will
    develop across parts of the lower Mississippi Valley by midday,
    which would support a locally greater wind-damage threat.

    Further to the east, moderate instability will likely develop over
    parts Alabama and Georgia by afternoon. Although deep-layer shear is
    forecast to remain relatively weak, steep low-level lapse rates
    during the afternoon may be enough for marginally severe wind gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated large hail and severe wind gusts will be possible in parts
    of the southern High Plains Wednesday afternoon and evening.
    Marginally severe storms will be possible over part of the central
    High Plains, and from the southern Plains into the Southeast.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    At mid-levels, convergent flow from the northwest and west will be
    place across the southern Plains on Wednesday. At the surface, an
    area of high pressure is forecast over the central Plains. To the
    south of the anticyclone, a post-frontal airmass will gradually
    modify as moisture begins to return northward over parts of the
    southern Plains. Moderate instability is expected to develop over a
    few areas from central and east Texas into western Louisiana. Over
    this modifying airmass, any severe threat is expected to be marginal.

    Further west into parts of the southern High Plains, convective
    initiation is expected during the early afternoon in the higher
    terrain of eastern New Mexico and far west Texas. The storms will
    gradually move eastward toward an axis of moderate instability.
    Forecast soundings early Wednesday evening near the instability axis
    have 0-6 km shear near 30 knots, with 700-500 mb lapse rates
    approaching 8 C/km. This could be enough for isolated large hail and
    severe wind gusts, associated with strong updrafts that develop in
    the afternoon and evening.

    Northward into central and eastern Colorado, thunderstorms are
    expected to develop in the higher terrain and move eastward into the
    central Plains. Weak instability, sufficient deep-layer shear and
    steep lapse rage could be enough for a marginal severe threat.

    ...Southeast...
    West-southwesterly flow at mid-levels is forecast over the Southeast
    on Wednesday. At the surface, a moist airmass will likely be in
    place from the lower Mississippi Valley eastward into the eastern
    Gulf Coast states. As surface temperatures warm, isolated to
    scattered thunderstorm development is expected along zones of
    maximized heating, and near focused areas of low-level convergence.
    Although large-scale ascent and deep-layer shear should be weak, the thermodynamic environment may be enough for marginally severe wind
    gusts with the stronger multicells.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE EASTERN GULF COAST STATES...GEORGIA...CAROLINAS AND VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms with wind damage, large hail, and a couple
    tornadoes will be possible Friday afternoon and evening from parts
    of the Eastern Gulf Coast to the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Georgia/Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic/Gulf Coast States...
    At mid-levels, a trough will move across the Ohio and Tennessee
    Valleys, as a jet streak translates eastward across the Southeast.
    Ahead of the trough, a moist and unstable airmass will be in place
    from the central Gulf Coast northeastward into the Carolinas and
    Mid-Atlantic. Surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s F will
    likely result in moderate destabilization across much of this
    airmass by midday. Scattered thunderstorm development, aided by
    topographic forcing, is expected to take place in the southern and
    central Appalachians during the early afternoon. Convection will
    move eastward into the lower elevations of the Atlantic Coastal
    states during the mid to late evening, where a severe threat will
    likely develop. The increase in large-scale ascent and deep-layer
    shear associated with the approaching mid-level jet will be a driver
    for the severe threat Friday afternoon and evening.

    NAM forecast soundings along the instability axis during the
    afternoon suggest that MLCAPE will peak near 1500 J/kg, and that 0-6
    km shear will increase into the 50 to 60 knot range. While the
    low-levels are forecast to remain veered to the southwest, strong
    speed shear will be present in the 850 to 500 mb layer. This will be
    favorable for supercells and bowing line segments. 0-3 km lapse
    rates are forecast to peak near 7.5 C/km, which will support a
    potential for damaging wind gusts. Supercells will also be capable
    of producing isolated large hail, especially in areas where the
    maximum potential for surface heating is realized. Although
    low-level shear is not expected to be that strong, any supercell
    that becomes intense could produce a brief tornado. The severe
    threat is expected to move eastward onto the Atlantic Coastal Plain
    in the late afternoon, and toward the Atlantic Coast during the
    evening.

    ...Western Great Lakes...
    At mid-levels, flow is forecast to become north-northwesterly over
    the upper Mississippi Valley and western Great Lakes, in the wake of
    an exiting trough. At the surface, a post-frontal airmass will be
    located over the western Great Lakes, where flow will be
    northwesterly. A pocket of locally higher surface dewpoints is
    forecast from eastern Wisconsin into lower Michigan. Within this
    pocket, weak instability is expected to develop along the western
    edge of the higher surface dewpoints, along and inland from the
    western shore of Lake Michigan. Along this north-to-south corridor,
    surface heating and low-level convergence will make convective
    initiation likely during the afternoon. Forecast soundings at 21Z
    from Chicago to Milwaukee have 0-3 km lapse rates peaking near 8.5
    C/km, which will be favorable for isolated marginally severe gusts.
    In addition, 500 mb temps will be relatively cold near -17C, which
    could also support a potential for hail with the stronger updrafts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN EAST TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible on
    Sunday from mid-afternoon to mid-evening Sunday in east Texas.
    Isolated severe storms are also possible with similar timing over
    the Carolinas and a portion of the northern Rockies.

    ...East TX...
    A compact shortwave impulse near the Ozarks at 12Z Sunday should
    track southeast across the Lower MS Valley towards the central Gulf
    Coast. While mid-level lapse rates will be modest to the
    west-southwest of this wave, a belt of moderate mid-level to strong
    upper-level northwesterlies is anticipated during the afternoon.
    With weak low-level winds veering with height, this setup should
    yield favorable hodograph elongation for supercells.

    The primary uncertainties are 1) the coverage of afternoon storms
    and 2) the spatial location for a mesoscale corridor of greater
    threat. More aggressive guidance appears to develop convection both
    along a convergent dryline towards the I-35 corridor and eastward
    within a weak low-level warm theta-e advection regime that is aided
    by pronounced differential boundary-layer heating across a confined
    plume of rich western Gulf moisture. While there is spatial and
    coverage uncertainty, the consensus signal for a few supercells
    warrants an upgrade to a level 2-SLGT risk highlight. Scattered
    large hail and isolated damaging winds should be the primary hazards
    before convection weakens after dusk.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    In the wake of an initial shortwave trough crossing the southern
    Canadian Rockies into the Prairie Provinces early in the period, an
    upstream, positive-tilt impulse will shift towards the northern
    Rockies Sunday night. The lead wave will aid in a Pacific cold front
    pushing east across much of the MT High Plains by late afternoon
    Sunday. Primary severe potential is anticipated within a confined
    corridor over the adjacent high terrain to the west-southwest. This
    corridor will lie between a belt of enhanced mid-level
    west-southwesterlies to its north and deeper-mixed thermodynamic
    profiles to its south. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to
    initiate by mid to late afternoon. Strong to isolated severe gusts
    along with small to marginally severe hail are possible.

    ...Carolinas...
    Yet another shortwave impulse rotating through the base of the
    persistent longwave trough over the East should aid in mid-afternoon
    storm development east of the southern Appalachians. Buoyancy will
    be weak amid marginal mid-level lapse rates and low-level
    westerlies. But steep low-level lapse rates coupled with sufficient
    speed shear should yield a few transient/weak supercell to multicell
    structures as convection develops off the higher terrain and along a quasi-stationary front into the evening. Small to marginally severe
    hail may develop in initial cores. This would aid in downdrafts
    producing strong surface gusts capable of isolated damaging winds.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    CENTRAL AND EASTERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible on
    Sunday from mid-afternoon to mid-evening Sunday in east Texas. More
    isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the
    mid-Tennessee River Valley into the southern Appalachians, central
    High Plains, northern Rockies, and south Florida.

    ...Synopsis...
    Little change is expected to the overall synoptic regime over the
    next 48 hours across the country. Long-wave ridging will persist
    across much of the Rockies/Plains with embedded shortwave troughs
    propagating across the western CONUS. To the east, a long-wave
    trough will undergo gradual de-amplification as it continues to
    shift east/northeast. Overall, this synoptic regime will favor
    multiple focused corridors of at least low-end strong to severe
    thunderstorm potential, though the greatest risk will reside across
    parts of TX where buoyancy/shear should be most conducive for
    organized convection.

    ...Central to eastern Texas...
    Early-morning convection associated with the progressive shortwave
    trough currently over the central Plains will likely be ongoing
    across parts of north/northeast TX by 12z Sunday. Recent forecast
    guidance suggests this activity will weaken through morning,
    possibly leaving an outflow boundary draped across parts of
    eastern/central TX. Heating of a moist air mass along and west of
    the boundary and/or along a weak surface trough should yield around
    3000 J/kg MLCAPE by mid-afternoon with weak capping. Recent
    convective allowing guidance continues to show some uncertainty
    regarding convective coverage within this weakly forced regime, but
    all solutions show at least a few robust cells developing along the boundary/trough by late afternoon. 30-40 knot mid-level flow
    associated with the departing upper-level perturbation will support
    adequate deep-layer wind shear for supercells capable of severe
    gusts and large to very large (2+ inches in diameter) hail. While
    low-level wind shear is expected to generally be weak for much of
    the region, a tornado threat may materialize if convection can
    become rooted along the boundary where low-level vorticity may be
    locally maximized.

    ...Tennessee to the Carolinas...
    A diffuse cold front currently pushing south across the Midwest/OH
    Valley is forecast to stall from southern IL into parts of KY, TN,
    and the Carolinas by peak heating Sunday. A combination of moist
    low-level conditions and weak capping should facilitate thunderstorm development along the front by late afternoon. 25-30 knot mid-level
    flow within the base of a mid-level trough should allow for
    sufficient deep-layer wind shear for a few organized cells/clusters
    capable of severe hail and sporadic damaging winds. Confidence in
    the severe threat is greatest across eastern TN into the Carolinas
    where mesoscale ascent along the boundary will be aided by lift
    ahead of the trough axis.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move across the Pacific
    Northwest/northern Rockies through Sunday evening. Steepening
    mid-level lapse rates and modest broad-scale ascent ahead of the
    wave should promote thunderstorm development by late afternoon from
    eastern ID into western MT. Although overall buoyancy will be modest
    (MUCAPE approaching 200-400 J/kg), strong speed shear within the
    CAPE-bearing layer (around 35-40 knots within the 0-3 km layer)
    should promote some storm organization/longevity with an attendant
    hail/wind risk.

    ...Central High Plains...
    Thunderstorm development along the eastern slopes of the central
    Rockies is anticipated by mid-afternoon within a weak upslope flow
    regime. 20-25 knot westerly mid-level flow will not only help
    elongate hodographs, but will advect steeper mid-level lapse rates
    into the region. This, combined with slightly improved low-level
    moisture, should be sufficient for a few robust thunderstorms
    capable of severe gusts and perhaps large hail.

    ...South Florida...
    The frontal boundary currently drifting southward along the FL
    peninsula is forecast to stall later tonight/early Sunday morning.
    Although forcing for ascent along the stalled boundary will be weak,
    very moist low-level conditions and limited capping will promote
    thunderstorm development across the central peninsula by late
    morning. Through late afternoon, additional heating combined with
    persistent 25-30 knot mid-level flow aloft should promote some storm organization with an attendant wind threat across southern FL.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS TO THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from the central and
    southern High Plains into the northern Great Plains during the late
    afternoon and evening on Monday. Severe gusts and large hail are the
    expected hazards.

    ...Synopsis...
    A split-flow regime Monday will be characterized by a
    northern-stream shortwave trough moving east from the northern
    Rockies along the international border over the northern Great
    Plains, and a low-amplitude southern-stream trough ejecting across
    the Southwest onto the southern High Plains. A surface cold front
    preceding the northern-stream trough should extend across northern
    MN into the central High Plains. A surface low will diurnally deepen
    near the NE/CO/KS border area, with a lee trough southward into
    eastern NM and the TX Trans-Pecos.

    ...NE/CO/WY border area to western MN...
    Moderate to large buoyancy will develop ahead of the NE to SD
    portion of the northeast/southwest-oriented cold front by late
    afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along and
    to the cool side of the front during this time frame as weak
    mid-level height falls overspread the boundary. The belt of strong
    mid-level flow attendant to the northern-stream trough will largely
    lag behind the surface front. This should foster predominantly
    multicell clusters, with the best potential for supercell structures
    in the post-frontal air mass over the central High Plains.
    Widespread thunderstorms are expected during the evening, centered
    on the NE portion of the front, as the KS/OK low-level jet
    strengthens. Isolated to scattered large hail/severe gusts are
    possible, mainly through about dusk, before intensity wanes.

    ...KS to southern High Plains vicinity...
    Pervasive afternoon thunderstorm development is expected to emanate
    from NM/southern CO/far west TX, amid lobes of large-scale ascent
    ahead of multiple impulses embedded with the low-amplitude trough
    over the Southwest. This activity will initially be displaced west
    of the large buoyancy reservoir over western/central OK into north
    TX where mid-level lapse rates will be steep. Modest mid-level flow
    enhancement is expected to accompany initial high-based development,
    likely yielding mainly multicells and transient supercell
    structures. But as convection impinges/develops towards the greater
    MLCAPE plume, convection should intensify. This should result in an
    increasing severe wind threat during the late afternoon to early
    evening through at least western KS to the TX Panhandle. How far
    downstream convection can remain severe later in the evening is
    uncertain given increasing MLCIN with time/eastern extent, greater
    low-level jet focused ascent in NE, and the modest deep-layer shear.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from the southern Great
    Plains to the Midwest, mainly from midday to mid-evening Tuesday. A
    couple tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail may occur.

    ...Synopsis...
    A low-amplitude southern-stream shortwave impulse should begin
    phasing with a northern-stream shortwave trough in the Upper
    Midwest. This process will aid in strengthening mid-level
    southwesterlies across the northern part of the warm-moist sector,
    roughly from the IA/IL border area northward. Weak cyclogenesis
    should be induced along the WI portion of a progressive cold front.
    Trailing portion of this front will push southeast in OK/TX as a
    surface ridge builds south into the southern High Plains.

    ...TX Big Country to the Ozarks...
    More pronounced boundary-layer heating is likely to occur with
    southern extent across this portion of the warm sector characterized
    by rich low-level moisture. A warm mid-level thermal profile should
    yield modest lapse rates and support largely moderate buoyancy with
    MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg on Tuesday afternoon. But this portion of
    the warm sector front will have a more westerly wind profile in the mid/upper-levels, supportive of initial slow-moving supercells.

    Widespread afternoon thunderstorms are expected from southeast KS
    through western OK, with isolated to scattered storms into north TX
    during the evening. Upscale growth into clusters and eventual linear
    segments is likely, especially as composite outflows serve as the
    effective cold front. Initial large hail with a tornado or two,
    transitioning to more of a damaging wind threat is anticipated. The
    severe threat should diminish as it shifts south/east Monday night.

    ...Mid-MS Valley to southern/eastern WI...
    A strong and broad low-level jet on Monday will aid in rich moisture
    return ahead of the surface front into at least WI by Tuesday. Areas
    of convection will likely be ongoing at 12Z within the attendant
    warm conveyor and a favorably diffluent upper-flow regime. Mid-level
    lapse rates will be poor to weak, owing to both preceding convection
    and relatively warm 500-mb temperatures attendant to the
    southern-stream impulse. Guidance consensus suggests that
    appreciable boundary-layer heating may be displaced east and south
    of the rich moisture plume. As such, confidence is below-average
    regarding the northeast extent of the level 2-SLGT risk. But given
    the presence of seasonably strong 700-mb southwesterlies, some
    damaging wind threat remains apparent to at least the Mid-MS Valley
    with late-afternoon/early-evening scattered storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHERN
    HIGH PLAINS AND OK TO SOUTH KS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are anticipated, mainly from late
    afternoon Thursday into Thursday night from the southern High Plains
    across southern Kansas and Oklahoma. A few tornadoes, large to
    isolated very large hail, and severe gusts are possible.

    ...Southern High Plains to southern KS and OK...
    A cluster of thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at 12Z Thursday
    across a portion of northwest TX within a low-level warm theta-e
    advection regime. As the low-level jet diurnally subsides, this
    activity is expected to diminish. The intensity and areal extent of
    this convection will likely impact later-day frontal location and
    the degree of destabilization to its northeast. The 00Z NAM is much
    more aggressive than guidance consensus at limiting diurnal
    destabilization across KS/OK. To the west of this morning activity,
    robust destabilization is expected across the southern High Plains
    from both increased boundary-layer moisture combined with an
    expansion of steep mid-level lapse rates. A plume of large buoyancy
    with MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg is expected by afternoon.

    With generally neutral mid-level height change, isolated to
    scattered convective development is most likely to focus off the
    higher terrain of the Trans-Pecos and the Raton Mesa during the late
    afternoon to early evening. A few storms are possible in between
    these corridors along the eastern NM dryline, but confidence is low.
    Deep-layer shear profiles will favor discrete supercells where
    convection is sustained. Large hail and damaging winds are possible,
    with tornado potential increasing into early evening as the
    low-level jet strengthens. Long-track supercell potential is evident
    off the Raton Mesa, near the surface warm front, where greater
    hodograph elongation is anticipated. This could support a swath of
    very large hail. Widespread convection is expected within this
    similar zone later into the evening through Thursday night amid
    strengthening warm advection. This should result in a
    forward-propagating MCS to the east-southeast from parts of the TX
    Panhandle to southern KS and OK through early morning Friday. The
    amplitude of severe wind potential will likely be modulated by the
    degree of surface-based instability. Given the likelihood of
    below-normal temperatures Thursday, low confidence exists to warrant
    greater probabilities.

    ...Mid-South to New England...
    A weak cold front will aid in isolated to scattered afternoon
    thunderstorms across a broad swath of the central to northeastern
    states. Large buoyancy will likely be confined to the Mid-South,
    with weak to moderate MLCAPE extending northeastward. This front
    will remain on the periphery of modest mid-level southwesterlies.
    Multicell clusters are expected to dominate in this setup with
    sporadic damaging winds as the primary hazard. Slightly greater
    effective bulk shear in the Mid-South and Northeast should also

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    HIGH PLAINS TO THE TN/LOWER OH VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected from the southern High
    Plains to the Tennessee and Lower Ohio Valleys on Friday into Friday
    night. Damaging winds and a couple tornadoes are the main hazards.
    Large to very large hail is possible over the southern High Plains.

    ...Southern Great/High Plains...
    A large MCS will likely be ongoing at 12Z Friday from the Ozark
    Plateau to the OK/TX Red River Valley. Large-scale outflow will
    trail in the wake of this MCS and modify to the north of it as
    diurnal heating ensues. Along and south of the boundary, a confined
    plume of moderate to large buoyancy is expected by late afternoon
    with MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg. North of it, more modest values are
    anticipated between the outflow and a quasi-stationary front.
    Scattered thunderstorms will once again develop along and to the
    cool side of the front over the Raton Mesa into south-central CO,
    with more isolated expected southward along the dryline to the
    Trans-Pecos. A belt of enhanced mid-level westerlies, with
    strengthening of upper-level flow, is anticipated south of a
    shortwave impulse moving into the central High to Great Plains
    through Friday night. This setup should yield favorable hodograph
    elongation for a sustained, long-lived supercell or two evolving
    southeastward from southeast CO. While buoyancy will be more muted,
    it should be sufficient for a significant severe hail and brief
    tornado threat. A few supercells farther south may have a tendency
    to be more outflow-dominant per various CAM depictions, but will
    likewise contain sig-severe hail potential as well.

    The Raton Mesa vicinity convection should grow upscale into another
    MCS Friday night as storm-scale outflows consolidate and with
    strengthening of the southern High Plains low-level jet. Most
    guidance indicates a somewhat delayed/slightly weaker jet than on
    D1. This coupled with signals for negative low-level theta-e
    advection overnight, given the confined plume of rich low-level
    moisture along the prior outflow boundary, lowers confidence in
    highlighting greater coverage of both severe and sig severe wind
    with the MCS as it likely tracks into/across OK.

    ...Mid-South to the TN/Lower OH Valleys...
    A large MCS will likely be ongoing at 12Z Friday from the Ozark
    Plateau to the OK/TX Red River Valley. This MCS should weaken
    somewhat in the late morning, but then intensify by midday and
    persist through the afternoon. A moderately unstable airmass will
    develop ahead of it from the Deep South into at least southern KY
    with MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg common. Deep-layer shear should remain
    modest with southern extent, where multicell clusters will dominate.
    Closer to the parent MCV, enhanced 700-mb westerlies will be present
    and should compensate for weaker destabilization. While isolated
    severe hail is possible, mainly within renewed updrafts along the
    large-scale outflow and redevelopment on the backside of the MCV,
    scattered damaging wind swaths should be the main hazard from KY to
    northern parts of MS/AL/GA.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN
    GREAT PLAINS/OZARKS TO THE SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected from the southern Great
    Plains to the Southeast States on Saturday through Saturday evening.
    Swaths of damaging winds, a couple tornadoes, and sporadic large
    hail will be possible.

    ...Southeast to the Lower OH/Mid-MS Valleys...
    A large MCS is expected to be ongoing at 12Z Saturday across the
    OK/AR vicinity, to the south of a low-amplitude shortwave impulse
    over the central Plains. Most guidance maintains these as two
    distinct features with the shortwave moving east into the Midwest
    and an MCV moving east into the TN Valley. The 00Z NAM continues to
    phase these features with substantial amplification of kinematic
    fields downstream. Utilizing guidance consensus, the dominant
    severe-weather potential should first emanate downstream of the
    morning MCS and remnant MCV. Enhanced mid-level westerlies should be
    present atop rich low-level moisture across the TN Valley and
    interior Deep South. Ample buoyancy should diurnally develop south
    and east of the primary MCS outflow, as well as pre-existing
    outflows from extensive D1 convection. Considered an upgrade to a
    level 3-ENH for damaging wind centered on northern MS/AL/GA, but
    have deferred due to mesoscale uncertainties at this time frame.

    A likely separate regime of afternoon to evening storm development
    should be focused ahead of the central Plains to Midwest shortwave
    trough. Primary uncertainty here is the degree of diurnal
    destabilization in the wake of/to the north-northwest of the Mid to
    Deep South MCS. Have expanded level 2-SLGT risk somewhat north
    across the southern MO vicinity, but confidence in overall
    intensity/coverage farther downstream is low.

    ...Southern High Plains to the Mid-South...
    In the wake of the large MCS that is expected to be ongoing at 12Z
    Saturday, guidance remains consistent in suggesting a relative
    down-day in terms of late afternoon storms across the southern High
    Plains. Convection will probably remain quite isolated and initially
    tied to the Raton Mesa and Trans-Pecos vicinities. Isolated
    development is also possible in the TX Big Country at the
    intersection of the dryline and large-scale outflow from the morning
    MCS. Weak low-level warm advection atop this outflow in the evening
    should aid in scattered thunderstorms downstream through the
    Mid-South. With expansion of the southern Plains EML, a mix of
    scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds is possible before
    intensity wanes overnight.

    ...Dakotas vicinity...
    A mid/upper shortwave trough over the Canadian Prairies will
    amplify into the Dakotas/MN through early Sunday. As this occurs,
    the primary surface cyclone should drift east across southern MB. A
    cold front will arc to the south-southwest of this cyclone and move
    southeast across the Dakotas during the afternoon. MLCAPE should
    remain meager with low-quality boundary-layer moisture. But the
    strengthening forcing for ascent should support a band of
    lower-topped convection. Strong to localized severe gusts are
    possible during the late afternoon to early evening when a
    well-mixed boundary layer is prevalent.
