    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF FLORIDA...SOUTHERN GEORGIA...AND THE EASTERN CAROLINAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with marginally severe wind gusts and hail will be
    possible today from parts of Florida northeastward into the eastern
    Carolinas.

    ...Synopsis...
    A trio of shortwave troughs will rotate through the primary upper
    trough over the central and eastern CONUS today, resulting in
    significant amplification to the overall upper pattern. By early
    tomorrow morning, deep upper troughing will cover the central and
    eastern CONUS with strong upper ridging over the western CONUS as
    well.

    Lead shortwave trough within the trio is currently moving east
    across the OH Valley with an attendant surface low over southern OH.
    A cold front extends southwestward from this low into the northwest
    Gulf. A stalled frontal zone also exists from the southern Delmarva
    Peninsula into northwest NC. The cold front is forecast to move
    quickly eastward throughout the day, while the stalled front
    transitions into a warm front and moves northward into more of the Mid-Atlantic. Thunderstorms are expected as this front interacts
    with the modestly moist and buoyant airmass from the FL
    Panhandle/northern FL through the Mid-Atlantic States.

    ...FL Panhandle/northern FL through the Mid-Atlantic...
    Filtered heating of the modestly moist airmass over the region will
    result in airmass destabilization. Poor lapse rates will limit
    buoyancy, but the overall buoyancy should still be sufficient for
    deep updrafts, particularly from the central FL Panhandle into
    northern FL/southern GA where the highest temperatures are
    anticipated. Thunderstorms are anticipated along and ahead of the
    front as it quickly moves eastward across the region. Highest
    thunderstorm coverage is expected across southern GA, with
    decreasing coverage with northern extent.

    Strong southwesterly mid-level flow will be in place as well,
    supporting the potential for organized storm structures. However, front-parallel orientation of the deep-layer shear suggest a linear
    mode, with the fast-moving front likely undercutting updrafts
    quickly. Even so, a few damaging gusts are possible, particularly
    with any bowing structures that stay ahead of the front. Isolated
    hail is possible as well, primarily in the FL/GA border vicinity
    where buoyancy is greatest.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FLORIDA
    INTO THE CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible through early evening
    from Florida northeastward into the coastal Carolinas.

    ...FL into the coastal Carolinas...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning indicates significant amplification
    of the large-scale eastern U.S. trough is occurring, and is due
    primarily to a mid-level wave over the Mid South and an upstream
    disturbance over the Upper Great Lakes. A cyclone over the upper OH
    Valley will migrate east towards Long Island during the period as an
    attendant cold front sweeps east/southeast across the Southeast and
    Gulf of America.

    The airmass ahead of the front over the Carolina coastal plain into
    FL will gradually warm/destabilize and yield upwards of 1000-1500
    J/kg of MLCAPE. Forecast soundings show effective shear magnitudes
    supporting organized storms. However, tempered lapse rates (900-600
    mb layer) in combination with front-parallel orientation of the
    deep-layer shear and limited forcing for ascent ahead of the cold
    front, will act to partially suppress greater storm coverage and the
    overall severe risk given the magnitude of CAPE/shear. Nonetheless,
    isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast along and ahead of
    the front (perhaps into one or two small clusters over the FL
    Peninsula into southern GA) as it progresses across the region. A
    few damaging gusts are possible, particularly with any bowing
    structures that stay ahead of the front. Isolated hail is possible
    as well, primarily in the FL/GA border vicinity where buoyancy is
    greatest.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
    TO NORTHERN FLORIDA INTO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND PARTS OF THE CAROLINA
    COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible through early evening
    from Florida northeastward into the coastal Carolinas.

    ...20z Update...
    The primary forecast change was a removal of hail/wind risk
    probabilities across portions of eastern NC. Multiple HRRR/RRFS/MPAS
    runs have shown a consistent signal for the possibility of strong
    updrafts/UH across northern FL, southern GA, and southeastern SC
    associated with the intensifying convection over the FL
    Panhandle/southwest GA. This aligns with recent
    observations/analyses that depict the best thermodynamic and
    kinematic environment roughly along the GA/FL line. Recent KTLH
    imagery suggests that some of this convection is already becoming
    undercut by the advancing cold front, so while embedded supercells
    will remain possible in the near term, the trend should be towards
    more clustered/linear storm modes through the evening with an
    attendant risk for isolated hail/wind. Further north across NC/VA,
    more aggressive CAM solutions hint that a robust storm or two may
    develop through early evening, but recent ACARS soundings sampled
    very weak low to mid-level lapse rates that should modulate updraft
    intensities despite a favorable wind profile. This, combined with a
    lackluster signal in guidance, limits confidence in the overall
    severe threat.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms with marginally severe wind gusts and hail
    will be possible early this evening across parts of north-central
    Florida.

    ...North-central Florida...
    A large-scale mid-level trough will move through the Ohio and
    Tennessee Valleys this evening. At the surface, a cold front will
    advance eastward across the Carolinas, with the front extending
    southwestward into northern Florida. Isolated thunderstorms will be
    possible along and ahead of the front this evening. The RAP suggests
    that moderate instability is present ahead of the front across
    north-central Florida, where MLCAPE is estimated to be from 1000 to
    1500 J/kg. This, combined with moderate deep-layer shear may support
    a marginal severe threat early this evening. Cells that develop
    within the stronger instability could produce marginally severe wind
    gusts and hail, with the severe threat persisting for a few more
    hours.

    A large-scale mid-level trough will move across the eastern U.S.
    today to near the eastern Seaboard tonight. At the surface, cold
    high pressure will settle into the southern Plains. This dry airmass
    will dominate much of the nation. Isolated thunderstorms could occur
    in south Florida near a front early in the day, and along the New
    England coast near an inverted surface trough. Isolated lightning
    strikes may also occur with snow over and near Lake Michigan. No
    severe threat is expected across the continental U.S. today and
    tonight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight across the
    U.S.

    ...Synopsis...
    Deep upper troughing currently covers much of the central and
    eastern CONUS, with upper ridging across the western CONUS. The
    upper troughing is forecast to spread eastward throughout the day
    while trending towards a more negative tilt. The western CONUS
    ridging is expected to dampen as a shortwave trough progresses
    through its northern periphery along the western US/Canada border
    and into the northern High Plains/northern Plains. This evolution
    will result in a less amplified upper pattern characterized by
    northwesterly flow aloft by early Tuesday morning.

    Surface pattern will be dominated by dry and stable high pressure
    associated with a continental airmass. This will preclude
    thunderstorms across the majority of the CONUS. The only exceptions
    are across far south FL, and from far eastern MA into eastern ME.
    Far south FL remains ahead of the cold front and could see isolated thunderstorms this morning. Warm-air advection near a surface low
    expected to track across far eastern MA through eastern ME could
    also support a few deeper convective cores capable of lightning.

    ...Synopsis...
    Cyclone currently centered over northern NY/far eastern ON is
    forecast to continue northeastward today, moving off the ME coast by

    low-amplitude shortwave trough moving within this northwesterly flow
    from the northern Plains through the OH Valley. At the same time,
    ridging will build over the western CONUS.

    A dry and stable continental airmass will prevail across the CONUS
    today, with notable airmass modification beginning across the
    southern and central Plains. Strong surface high pressure currently
    over the Southeast will result in offshore trajectories throughout
    the first half of the period. As this high shifts
    eastward/southeastward, southerly flow and moisture return will
    begin across the TX Coast. Even with this moisture return, stable
    conditions are expected to prevail, with no thunderstorms expected
    across the CONUS today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large-scale mid-level trough over the East will be maintained as a
    series of additional upstream disturbances over western Ontario and
    the Upper Midwest act to reinforce troughing over the eastern U.S.
    An arctic surface high centered over the northeast Gulf Coast will
    result in seasonably cool/stable conditions east of the Rockies.
    Farther west, a mid-level ridge will lead to tranquil conditions
    across the Rockies to the Pacific coast.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. through tonight.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Northwesterly mid-level flow will be in place tonight from the
    Rockies eastward to the Appalachians. At the surface, an area of
    high pressure will move across the Southeast. A dry and stable
    airmass will remain in place over the U.S., making conditions
    unfavorable for thunderstorm development.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible along the coast of northern
    California late tonight/early tomorrow. No severe threat is forecast
    across the U.S. today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A series of shortwave troughs will move from the Upper Midwest/Upper
    Great Lakes through the Northeast, within the base of an upper
    trough that extends across much of eastern Canada and the northeast
    CONUS. At the same time, upper ridging will shift eastward through
    the Intermountain West to the Rockies, ahead of a strong cyclone
    forecast to approach the West Coast Thursday morning.

    Modest southerly low-level flow will result in limited moisture
    return across central/east TX and LA, with low 60s dewpoints
    covering much of the TX Coastal Plain by tomorrow morning. Even so,
    warm temperatures aloft and negligible forcing for ascent will
    preclude any thunderstorms.

    A frontal band associated with the West Coast cyclone will approach
    the northern CA Coast late tonight/early tomorrow. Increasing
    mid-level moisture will support modest buoyancy and the potential
    for a few deeper convective cores, both within the band itself and
    in the showers preceding it, as large-scale ascent spreads across
    the region.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible along the coast of northern
    California late tonight/early tomorrow. No severe threat is forecast
    across the U.S. today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...

    An amplified upper pattern will persist across the CONUS
    today/tonight, characterized by a trough across the eastern states
    and an upper ridge over the West. At the surface, a mostly
    dry/stable airmass will be in place, precluding thunderstorm
    activity for most of the forecast period.

    Late tonight, an upper low will progress eastward eastern Pacific,
    approaching the offshore waters near northern CA. As height falls
    overspread the Pacific coast, a surface low will deepen offshore. A
    line of elevated convection is expected to develop ahead of a cold
    front and move onshore in the 08-12z time frame. Cooling aloft will
    support weak elevated instability, and isolated thunderstorms will
    be possible. Severe storms are not expected.

    weather is unlikely.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper low will approach the West Coast tonight and into
    Thursday, with gradual cooling aloft as well as midlevel moistening
    and lift. Minimal elevated instability of perhaps 100-200 J/kg may
    develop, supporting sporadic lightning flashes as precipitation
    develops ahead of the wave overnight into coastal northern
    California. Despite strong wind fields, surface-based CAPE will
    remain near zero, and as such severe storms are not forecast.

    Minimal thunderstorm chances are evident today over parts of central California. Severe weather is not forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low within a positive-tilt upper trough will slowly move
    eastward toward the West Coast today, with abundant midlevel
    moisture and lift overspreading much of CA. Within the moist plume,
    forecast soundings indicate minimal instability during the day,
    mostly elevated in nature. Despite strong veering wind profiles with
    height, shear is expected to be ineffective as SBCAPE remains near
    zero.

    Elsewhere, an upper trough will remain over the eastern states with
    northwest flow from the Plains across the MS Valley. A surface high
    will remain over much of the east, with little to no instability for thunderstorms.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Minimal thunderstorm chances are evident today over parts of central California. Severe weather is not forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A cyclone, embedded within the southern periphery of a large upper
    trough, will gradually progress toward the central CA coast
    throughout the period. Moist southwesterly flow aloft ahead of this
    cyclone will continue to spread eastward/northeastward across CA and
    OR. Modest elevated buoyancy is anticipated within this moist plume,
    supporting the potential for deeper convective elements capable of isolated/sporadic lightning flashes. Strong vertical shear is in
    place, but the very weak buoyancy and transient nature of any deeper
    updrafts will limit its efficacy.

    Farther east, surface high pressure will remain over much of the
    eastern CONUS, promoting dry and stable conditions. Some modest
    moisture return is anticipated across the southern Plains and Lower
    MS Valley but warm temperatures aloft and negligible forcing will
    preclude thunderstorm development.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Minimal thunderstorm chances are evident today over parts of central California. Severe weather is not forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper-level trough will gradually move eastward over the
    Pacific Coast region today. An embedded deep-layer cyclone is
    forecast to gradually weaken as it moves east-southeastward off of
    the northern CA coast. The low/midlevel moisture plume associated
    with this system will continue to overspread parts of CA through the
    period. Weak buoyancy (MUCAPE of 100-200 J/kg) within this moist
    plume will support isolated/sporadic lightning potential with
    embedded convective elements, especially where orographic lift is
    maximized in the vicinity of the Sierra Nevada. While low-level
    flow/shear will remain rather strong into this afternoon, negligible surface-based instability should limit potential for convectively
    augmented gusts.

    Elsewhere, cold midlevel temperatures will support weak convection
    over parts of the Northeast, though the greatest relative lightning
    potential is expected to remain offshore of southern New England.
    Some elevated buoyancy may develop late tonight across parts of
    MO/IL, along the northern periphery of modest 850 mb moisture
    return, but there is minimal signal for development of deep
    convection in this region prior to the end of the period.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm activity is forecast to be minimal across the majority

    southern California into Saturday morning.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A positive-tilt upper trough will be just off the West Coast Friday
    morning, with an offshore upper low translating southward through
    the period. A stronger disturbance is forecast to rotate around the
    base of this trough into Saturday morning, with midlevel winds
    increasing and becoming nearly southerly as cooling aloft
    approaches.

    At the surface, low pressure will deepen late in the period off the
    coast of southern CA and toward the Channel Islands. Precipitation
    will increase in coverage at that time, with a few lightning flashes
    possible mainly offshore. Low-level wind fields and shear will be
    modest, and SBCAPE should remain near zero through 12Z Saturday over
    land. As such, overall thunderstorm activity should be minimal over
    land.

    Elsewhere, an upper ridge will temporarily exist from the southern
    Plains into the Great Lakes before the base of a broadening upper
    trough moves into the northern Plains and upper Midwest. High
    pressure over the southeast combined with strongly veering low-level
    winds should keep conditions stable over those areas through 12Z
    Saturday.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may impact parts of southern California late
    tonight into early Saturday morning, but organized severe
    thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A positively tilted upper trough off the West Coast will evolve into
    a closed low through the period as it moves slowly southward
    along/near the coast of central/southern CA. An associated surface
    low should develop towards the coastal southern CA late tonight into
    early Saturday morning. Instability across this area is forecast to
    remain very weak, with poor lapse rates aloft present. Even so,
    low-topped convection may occasionally reach levels sufficient for
    charge separation and lightning flashes as it moves onshore across
    parts of southern CA late tonight. Low-level winds are expected to
    remain modest, but south-southwesterly flow will strengthen with
    height through mid/upper levels. While strong/gusty winds may occur
    in the higher terrain, the overall severe threat should be hampered
    by minimal instability and weak low-level shear.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may impact parts of southern California late
    tonight into early Saturday morning, but organized severe
    thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Discussion...
    Within prevalent split upper flow over western North America, a
    southern-stream closed low off the coast of California will slowly
    approach with the parent trough taking on a more neutral/slight
    negative tilt over time. Showers/some thunderstorms will increase
    toward the coast late tonight through early Saturday with the
    approach of a frontal band. Instability is forecast to remain very
    weak, with poor lapse rates aloft. Nevertheless, low-topped
    convection may occasionally reach levels sufficient for charge
    separation and lightning flashes as it approaches the coast and
    moves onshore across parts of southern California late tonight and
    early Saturday. Low-level winds are expected to remain modest, but south-southwesterly flow will strengthen with height through
    mid/upper levels. While strong/gusty winds may occur in the higher
    terrain, the overall severe threat should be limited by minimal
    instability and weak low-level shear.

    day2 period, weak midlevel buoyancy is expected to develop after 06z
    which may prove sufficient for a few flashes of lightning within pre

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Showers and a few thunderstorms may be accompanied by strong wind
    gusts across parts of the upper Ohio Valley late this afternoon and
    evening.

    ...Ohio Valley...

    Strong large-scale midlevel height falls will spread across the
    Great Lakes/Ohio Valley later today in advance of a short-wave
    trough that will dig into the Great Lakes by 16/00z. Associated cold
    front will surge to a position from southern ON-northern OH-central
    IN by late afternoon and this feature is expected to serve as the
    focus for isolated thunderstorms. Latest model guidance is not
    particularly aggressive in boundary-layer destabilization with
    surface temperatures forecast to warm into the lower 60s along the
    OH river into southern OH, with upper 50s expected downstream across
    western PA. These temperatures would yield a few hundred J/kg
    uncapped SBCAPE by late afternoon within a strongly sheared
    environment. HREF guidance suggests weak frontal convection should
    evolve between 16/00-02z across eastern OH/western PA. This activity
    will spread downstream, but likely weaken fairly quickly in the
    absence of meaningful buoyancy over central PA. Strong wind gusts
    are the primary concern.

    ...Southern CA...

    Strong 500mb speed max will translate through the base of the
    offshore trough toward the northern Baja Peninsula by 18z, with
    high-level diffluent flow forecast across southern CA/lower CO River
    Valley. Latest guidance suggests the associated cold front will
    surge inland after 18z-19z, and cooling post frontal profiles will
    lead to a bit more instability that should favor lightning within
    deeper convective updrafts. Pre frontal convection is expected to be
    weakly buoyant and updrafts should reflect this poor instability air
    mass. While post frontal destabilization may lead to more robust
    updrafts, weaker shear does not appear particularly favorable for
    severe wind, but some small hail could be noted. Will not introduce
    severe probabilities for these reasons.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Showers and isolated thunderstorms may be accompanied by strong wind
    gusts across parts of the upper Ohio Valley late this afternoon and
    evening.

    ...Ohio Valley...
    Large-scale ascent will spread across the OH Valley today ahead of a
    mid-level shortwave trough that will dig across the Great Lakes by
    this evening. An associated surface low will develop eastward across
    southern Ontario, with a cold front extending southward across the
    OH Valley/Midwest. This front will serve as the primary focus for
    isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Only modest
    daytime heating is forecast ahead of the front, which combined with
    limited low-level moisture should temper the amount of surface-based instability that can develop. Even so, a strongly sheared
    environment is expected given the strength of the low/mid-level flow
    forecast. Recent high-resolution guidance suggests weak frontal
    convection should develop by late afternoon/early evening across
    eastern OH/western PA and vicinity. Strong to locally damaging wind
    gusts are the primary concern, with convection expected to weaken
    with eastward extent into central PA this evening due to meager
    instability with the loss of daytime heating.

    ...Southern California/Southwest...
    A strong (60-80 kt) 500 mb speed maximum will translate through the
    base of an upper trough and develop towards the northern Baja
    Peninsula by midday, with high-level diffluent flow forecast across
    southern CA and the Lower CO River Valley. Recent guidance continues
    to suggest an associated surface front will move inland later today,
    and cooling post-frontal thermal profiles aloft will lead to weak
    instability that should favor occasional lightning within deeper
    convective updrafts. Pre-frontal convection is expected to be only
    weakly buoyant across the Lower CO River Valley due to poor lapse
    rates, which should limit updraft strength. While post-frontal
    destabilization may lead to more robust updrafts, weaker shear in
    this regime does not appear favorable for severe winds, but small
    hail could occur.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN OHIO
    INTO NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe gusts are possible across parts of the upper Ohio
    Valley late this afternoon and evening.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley...
    Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a mid-level trough over
    the Upper Great Lakes. This mid-level trough will quickly move east
    into the Lower Great Lakes vicinity by early evening with an
    attendant increase in large-scale forcing for ascent expected to
    spread across the Upper OH Valley and Lower Great Lakes regions.
    Although primary cyclone development will occur from eastern Lake
    Superior eastward to the VT/Quebec region, a cold front will push
    southeastward across the Great Lakes into the central Appalachians
    during the period. Despite low-level theta-e advection into the
    region from the lower OH Valley, the overall magnitude of
    destabilization will be limited in part due to considerable cloud
    cover thwarting greater heating. Models show surface dewpoints
    rising into the upper 50s beneath a capping inversion by late
    afternoon. Weak instability and the aforementioned forcing will aid
    in the eventual development of isolated to scattered thunderstorms
    probably in the form of one primary band of convection towards early
    evening. Strong to locally damaging wind gusts are the primary
    concern, with convection expected to weaken with eastward extent
    into central PA this evening due to meager instability with the loss
    of daytime heating.

    ...Southern California/Southwest...
    A potent mid-level speed max translating through the base of a
    trough west of southern CA/Baja CA will move into the Mojave Desert
    later today. Pockets of weak instability will likely develop today
    and favor isolated bouts of deeper convection across southern CA
    into the lower CO River Valley. Despite strengthening mid-level
    flow fields, muted lapse rates will likely limit storm intensity and
    the propensity for strong/locally damaging gusts.

    No changes are needed to the current D1 Convective Outlook. A few
    occasional stronger cores have been noted near the warm front across
    western New York into southern Ontario. Overall, limited moisture
    and poor thermodynamics have limited the severe threat. Further
    south across the upper Ohio Valley, additional convective
    development is expected along the front later this afternoon. Though
    mid-level cloud cover has prevailed, dew points in the 50s are
    observed across Ohio into northern West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
    Here a narrow region of weak instability overlapping with increasing
    forcing for ascent will support potential for locally damaging
    gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe gusts are possible across parts of the upper Ohio
    Valley through late evening.

    00 UTC surface observations show a cold front pushing eastward
    across the Midwest/OH River Valley. Recent radar imagery shows the
    initial development of weak thunderstorms along/ahead of the front,
    which are expected to increase in coverage through 04 UTC across
    portions of the upper OH Valley. VWP observations are currently
    sampling 40-50 knot winds within the lowest kilometer, which may
    manifest at the surface as strong, damaging wind gusts within the
    deeper convective cores. Additionally, the strong low-level flow is
    supporting 0-1 km SRH values on the order of 400 m2/2. While
    typically a concerning value, the meager buoyancy in place across
    the region (MLCAPE of around 150-200 J/kg per recent ILN and PIT
    soundings) and residual capping near 750 mb should modulate overall
    updraft intensities and the potential for a tornado threat. CAM
    guidance seems to support this idea with negligible updraft speed/UH
    signals noted among recent HRRR/RRFS/MPAS runs. As such, the
    predominant threat should remain damaging gusts through the 04 to 06
    UTC period.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Four Corners states
    and along the California coast late tonight. Severe storms are not
    expected.

    ...Western U.S...

    Large-scale pattern does not appear particularly favorable for
    robust convection across the CONUS Sunday. Even so, isolated
    thunderstorms are expected across a few areas of the western U.S.,
    primarily ahead of two strong troughs. The lead midlevel trough will
    eject across the lower CO River Valley early in the period with
    high-level diffluent flow spreading across the Four Corners region
    during the afternoon. This feature will eject as a negative-tilted
    trough resulting in cool midlevel temperatures and steep lapse
    rates. Forecast soundings exhibit meager instability, but likely
    adequate for lightning in the strongest updrafts.

    A secondary trough is forecast to approach the northern CA Coast
    during the latter half of the period. 500mb speed max will dig
    toward the back side of this feature, but not advance inland until
    later in the day2 period. At this time it appears the synoptic front
    will approach the northern CA Coast around 17/12z, along with a bit
    more instability beneath the approaching trough. Most lightning
    activity should remain offshore, but isolated storms may approach
    the Coast by the end of the period.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough/low over CA this morning will move
    east-northeastward across the Great Basin/Southwest today while
    acquiring a negative tilt. Although low-level moisture will remain
    quite limited, cool temperatures and modestly steepened lapse rates
    aloft associated with the upper trough/low may support convection
    deep enough to generate occasional lightning flashes across parts of
    the Four Corners states into WY. A separate upper trough will
    approach the West Coast late tonight, with large-scale ascent
    associated with a strong mid-level jet overspreading parts of CA.
    Isolated thunderstorms may occur along/ahead of a cold front tonight
    through early Monday morning across this area. For all regions, weak instability is expected to preclude organized severe thunderstorms,
    although gusty winds may occur with the stronger cores.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper trough will eject into the Atlantic as a second upper
    trough, with multiple embedded impulses, overspreads the Interior
    West today. The first of the two mid-level impulses will approach
    the Rockies while the second impulse impinges on the CA coastline,
    especially late in the period. Cooler temperatures aloft, associated
    with each impulse, will overspread both the central/southern Rockies
    and the CA coast, resulting in scant buoyancy. While instability
    will be meager in both regions, strong deep-layer ascent with the aforementioned buoyancy may support isolated to potentially
    scattered thunderstorm development today into tonight.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Four Corners states
    today and parts of California mainly late tonight. Severe
    thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...20z Update...
    No changes are needed to the D1 Convective Outlook. See previous
    discussion below for more information.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1017 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025/

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper trough will eject into the Atlantic as a second upper
    trough, with multiple embedded impulses, overspreads the Interior
    West today. The first of the two mid-level impulses will approach
    the Rockies while the second impulse impinges on the CA coastline,
    especially late in the period. Cooler temperatures aloft, associated
    with each impulse, will overspread both the central/southern Rockies
    and the CA coast, resulting in scant buoyancy. While instability
    will be meager in both regions, strong deep-layer ascent with the aforementioned buoyancy may support isolated to potentially
    scattered thunderstorm development today into tonight.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Four Corners states
    and parts of California through late tonight. Severe thunderstorms
    are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery depicts an upper trough passing over the Four
    Corners region with a second upper wave approaching the CA coast.
    Thunderstorm chances overnight will be associated with these two
    features as lift ahead of the waves drives weak convection. Over the
    Four Corners, weak buoyancy (sampled by the 00z ABQ sounding) will
    continue to wane with thunderstorm coverage likely decreasing
    through 12z across the region. Across CA, thunderstorm coverage will
    likely increase through early morning as the upper wave moves
    onshore, though overall buoyancy profiles will remain too limited
    for robust convection. A few strikes appear possible around 12z
    Monday across parts of the Texarkana region within a warm frontal
    zone, but recent model consensus suggests thunderstorm coverage
    should remain below 10% through the end of the forecast period.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are possible this evening into early Tuesday
    morning across parts of the central/northern Plains into the Ozarks
    and mid Mississippi Valley. Additional storms are possible across
    the Southwest and central California. A few strong storms are
    possible in the Midwest, but severe-thunderstorm potential appears
    low at this time.

    ...Synopsis...
    05 UTC satellite imagery depicts a progressive upper wave traversing
    the central Rockies. Ahead of this feature, a broad low/mid-level
    baroclinic zone was analyzed from the central Plains southeastward
    into the lower MS River Valley. This diffuse boundary is expected to
    lift northward as an effective warm frontal zone as
    south/southwesterly winds strengthen ahead of the approaching upper
    wave. Strong isentropic ascent and moistening near 850 mb should
    support isolated to scattered elevated thunderstorms from the
    northern Plains into the Midwest/mid-MS River Valley. Across the
    West, a second upper trough will continue to dig southward along the
    CA coast. Cold temperatures aloft combined with broad scale ascent
    should promote isolated, though weak, thunderstorms.

    ...Mid-MS Valley...
    50-60 knot mid-level flow associated with the upper wave will
    overspread much of MO/IL during the overnight hours as isentropic
    ascent increases and thunderstorm coverage is maximized. While wind
    profiles appear to show adequate deep-layer shear for organized
    convection, most forecast soundings depict modest lapse rates and
    narrow buoyancy profiles, which should modulate overall updraft
    intensities. This limitation is reflected in recent CAM solutions,
    which uniformly show very weak signals for strong updrafts or UH
    tracks. Consequently, confidence in a severe threat remains too
    limited for risk probabilities, but a few instances of
    small/near-severe hail appear possible.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms should occur this evening and overnight
    across parts of the northern/central Plains into the Ozarks and mid
    Mississippi Valley. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible across
    the Southwest and central California. A few strong thunderstorms may
    occur across parts of Missouri and southern Illinois late tonight,
    but organized severe thunderstorm potential appears low.

    ...Synopsis...
    A pair of upper troughs/lows will impact the CONUS today. The
    leading upper trough/low will progress eastward over the central
    Plains though this evening, eventually reaching the mid MS Valley
    late tonight. Farther west, a separate upper trough/low will develop
    slowly southward across coastal CA through the period. With
    seasonably cool temperatures and modestly steepened lapse rates
    aloft associated with the western U.S. trough/low, isolated
    thunderstorms may occur across parts of CA and the lower CO River
    Valley/AZ. Meager instability across these areas should limit the
    threat for organized severe thunderstorms. Father east, isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms should develop this evening/overnight from
    portions of the northern/central Plains into the MO and mid MS
    Valleys. The bulk of this activity is expected to remain elevated,
    with minimal severe potential.

    ...Ozarks into the Mid Mississippi Valley...
    Low-level moisture will continue to stream northward across the
    southern Plains and lower/mid MS Valley ahead of a weak surface low
    and cold front related to the lead upper trough/low. Latest NAM/RAP
    forecast soundings across the surface warm sector this
    afternoon/evening continue to show a substantial cap in place, which
    combined with negligible large-scale ascent should act to inhibit
    surface-based convective development. Low-level warm/moist advection
    is expected to increase this evening/overnight as a southwesterly
    low-level jet strengthens over the Ozarks/mid MS Valley. Most
    guidance shows weak MUCAPE (around 500-1000 J/kg) with modest
    mid-level lapse rates present. This should tend to limit the updraft
    strength of scattered elevated convection that is forecast develop
    tonight across MO into parts of southern IL, even in the presence of
    moderate to strong deep-layer shear. While small/sub-severe hail may
    occur with the stronger cores, the threat for severe hail appears
    too limited to include low probabilities with this update.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL AND
    SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO FAR WEST-CENTRAL ILLINOIS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms should occur this evening and overnight
    across parts of the northern/central Plains into the Ozarks and mid
    Mississippi Valley. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible across
    the Southwest and central California. A few strong thunderstorms
    capable of producing hail may occur across parts of Missouri and
    western Illinois late tonight.

    ...Ozarks into the Mid Mississippi Valley...
    Shortwave trough currently moving across the central Rockies will
    continue eastward across the central Plains, reaching the Mid MS
    Valley by early tomorrow. Mass response ahead of this wave will
    support continued low-level moisture advection, with low 60s
    dewpoints likely reaching far southeast KS/far southwest MO by early
    tomorrow morning. Mid 60s dewpoints will likely cover much of
    eastern OK and western AR. The stronger large-scale ascent will
    remain displaced west and north of the better low-level moisture,
    and strong convective inhibition will preclude surface-based storms
    throughout the period. However, persistent theta-e advection
    throughout the warm conveyor will promote elevated buoyancy and the
    potential for multiple rounds of elevated thunderstorms from the
    Ozarks northeastward into the Mid MS Valley.

    The initial round of deeper convection is expected across the
    central MO vicinity this afternoon near the terminus of a 35-40 kt
    low-level jet. Buoyancy will remain modest, but there is enough
    shear within the cloud-bearing layer for updraft rotation and the
    production of isolated hail. Continued warm-air advection will
    result in further low-level warming and moistening, increasing the
    elevated buoyancy tonight. This buoyancy coupled with glancing
    large-scale ascent and a strengthening low-level jet could result in
    additional thunderstorms farther south and west into southwest MO,
    as well as increased coverage and intensity of any ongoing
    thunderstorms from central MO into far west-central IL. Moderate to
    strong vertical shear will continue to support rotation within any
    deep and persistent updrafts, with an attendant threat for isolated
    hail.

    ...CA into the Southwest...
    Upper low currently off the northern CA coast will continue
    southward throughout the day, ending the period over the San Luis
    Obispo/Santa Barbara/Ventura county vicinity. Sporadic thunderstorms
    are possible near this upper low, where cold mid-level temperature
    and strong forcing for ascent are anticipated. A
    non-lightning-producing band will move through the southern CA
    coastal counties ahead of this low. Isolated lightning flashes are
    also possible farther east within the warm conveyor over the Lower
    CO River Valley and western AZ. Meager instability should limit the
    threat for organized severe thunderstorms across the entire region.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong thunderstorms, capable of producing hail, may occur
    across parts of Missouri and western Illinois tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Upper ridge is beginning to flatten across the MS Valley as midlevel
    height falls spread into this region ahead of a progressive
    short-wave trough. Early-evening water-vapor imagery clearly depicts
    this feature over NE/KS and a 60-70kt 500mb speed max will translate
    across KS into western MO by 06z. This feature will encourage the
    LLJ to strengthen across MO into western IL, which will aid a
    corridor of warm advection across the lower MO Valley region through
    sunrise.

    One pocket of elevated convection has developed within this zone and
    scattered convection is spreading across eastern MO into western IL
    at 0030z. Latest MRMS data suggests small hail is likely occurring
    within the more robust updrafts. 00z sounding from SGF exhibits a
    strongly sheared, warm advection profile, but only meager MUCAPE is
    noted for parcels lifted near 850mb. Forecast soundings across the
    MRGL Risk area show increasing instability later tonight, especially
    after midnight. As large-scale forcing increases, scattered elevated thunderstorms should develop, some of which may generate hail.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to severe storms are possible across portions of the
    Lower Ohio Valley region.

    ...Lower OH Valley...

    Central Plains upper trough is shifting east toward the mid MS
    Valley, in line with latest model guidance. As a 60+kt 500mb speed
    max translates across MO into southern IL/IN, this feature will
    advance into the lower OH Valley by 19/00z, suppressing the height
    field as far south as the OH River. Veered, but strong LLJ will
    focus across southern MO-southern IL/IN before being nudged
    downstream into eastern KY/southern OH by early evening. Net result
    will be for a NW-SE oriented corridor of warm advection to shift
    east during the day ahead of a weak surface low near the base of the
    short-wave trough.

    Earlier thoughts regarding the potential for severe continue as
    instability will gradually increase along this corridor as midlevel temperatures cool and lapse rates steepen a bit. In the absence of
    strong boundary-layer heating, the majority of convection that
    develops across this region will be elevated and aided in large part
    by the LLJ. Forecast soundings suggest lifted parcel level will
    gradually lower by late afternoon such that near-surface based
    parcels could yield modest instability (800-1000 J/kg). Primary
    concern today will be hail with elevated supercells, but some
    tornado risk is possible with late-day storms, where parcel lift
    reflects lower 60s dew points that are expected to return toward the
    confluence of the MS/OH Rivers during the afternoon.

    ...Lower Colorado River Valley/southwest AZ...

    Weak midlevel height falls will spread across the lower CO River
    Valley today as the upper low off the southern CA Coast eventually
    settles toward the international border/northern Baja Peninsula. As
    this features digs southeast, a weak LLJ should extend across
    southwestern AZ into the early part of the afternoon. Latest
    thinking is scattered convection should evolve ahead of the cold
    front as it surges across the lower CO River Valley. Forecast
    soundings exhibit ample shear for organized rotating updrafts, but
    buoyancy is expected to be weak. Given the modest lapse rates, there
    is concern updrafts may struggle a bit and hail is expected to
    remain below severe levels. Some consideration was given to adding a
    2 percent probability for the risk of a brief tornado but will hold
    off at this time given the marginality of the situation.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible across parts of the
    lower Ohio Valley region today.

    ...Mid Mississippi/Lower Ohio Valley...
    Elevated thunderstorms ongoing this morning across the mid MS/lower
    OH Valley are being aided by a southwesterly low-level jet and
    related warm/moist advection. This activity may pose an isolated
    hail threat as it tracks eastward this morning across the lower OH
    Valley before eventually encountering a less unstable airmass. A
    mid-level shortwave trough will advance eastward across the
    Midwest/mid MS Valley into the OH Valley through this evening. A
    weak surface low attendant to this shortwave trough will likewise
    develop east-southeastward across MO into the lower OH Valley while
    gradually weakening. Low-level moisture will return northward across
    this region ahead of a east-southeastward advancing cold front.

    Current expectations are for some re-intensification of convection
    to occur this afternoon across the southern IL/western KY vicinity
    as strong ascent associated with the shortwave trough overspreads
    this region. There is still some uncertainty with how far north the
    surface warm sector will be able to advance, and daytime heating may
    be muted by persistent cloudiness. But, the best combination of weak
    to locally moderate instability and favorable deep-layer shear
    should overlap across the mid MS/lower OH Valley this afternoon and
    evening as a 50-60+ kt westerly mid-level jet moves across these
    areas. Any sustained supercell may be capable of producing severe
    hail along with locally damaging winds, with elevated convection
    possible north of the warm front into central IL/southern IN. Some
    threat for a tornado or two may also exist if sufficient
    boundary-layer instability can advance far enough northward in
    tandem with the warm front and enhanced low-level shear to support surface-based thunderstorms. No changes have been made to the
    Marginal Risk with this update. Confidence in a more concentrated
    corridor of severe risk was not high enough to include greater
    severe probabilities at this time, but trends will be monitored.

    ...Lower Colorado River Valley/Arizona...
    A closed mid/upper-level low along the coast of central/southern CA
    will make only slow progress southward today. Large-scale ascent
    associated with a south-southwesterly mid-level jet should encourage
    convective development today across parts of the lower CO River
    Valley and AZ. While deep-layer shear appears adequate for organized
    updrafts, weak instability will likely limit the overall severe
    threat across this region.

    near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. This
    convection will result in some additional net south/southwestward
    forecast focus of the warm sector later today, even while fairly
    aggressive warm-sector moistening is occurring across the Ozarks as
    surface dewpoints climb through the lower/some middle 60s F.

    A shortwave trough/moderately strong jetlet over Iowa and northern
    Missouri this morning will continue to gradually minor/open while
    moving east-southeastward toward the middle Ohio Valley by tonight.
    Given the trend of this system, the related surface low will
    gradually weaken while air mass modification/convective recovery
    occurs with a northeastward-expanding warm sector toward the lower
    Ohio Valley.

    Current expectations are for some re-intensification of convection
    to occur this afternoon across far southeast Missouri, southern
    Illinois and western Kentucky, although some of these developmental/environmental details depend on the disposition of still-recurring convection near/south of the Ohio River. There is
    still some sub-regional uncertainty with how far north the surface
    warm sector will be able to advance, and daytime heating may be
    muted by persistent cloudiness. But, the best combination of weak to
    locally moderate instability and favorable deep-layer shear will
    generally overlap across the aforementioned region this afternoon
    and evening as a 50-60+ kt westerly mid-level jet moves overhead.

    Any sustained supercell may be capable of producing severe hail
    along with locally damaging winds, with elevated convection possible
    north of the warm front into south-central Illinois/southern
    Indiana. Some threat for a tornado or two may also exist if
    sufficient boundary-layer instability can advance far enough
    northward in tandem with the warm front and enhanced low-level shear
    to support surface-based thunderstorms.

    A narrow zone centered on far southeast Missouri, far southern
    Illinois, western Kentucky and northwest Tennessee will continue to
    be closely monitored and reevaluated for an upgrade (20z D1 update)
    should confidence in surface-based storms increase near the surface
    low/warm front late this afternoon and early evening.

    ...Lower Colorado River Valley/Arizona...
    A closed mid/upper-level low along the coast of central/southern
    California will make only slow progress southward today. Large-scale
    ascent associated with a south-southwesterly mid-level jet should
    encourage additional convective development today across parts of
    the lower Colorado River Valley and Arizona. While deep-layer shear
    appears adequate for organized updrafts, weak instability will
    likely limit the overall severe threat across this region, although
    small hail/gusty winds a few stronger storms could occur this
    afternoon.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe storms are possible across parts of the
    middle Mississippi Valley and lower Ohio Valley this afternoon and
    evening.

    ...20Z Update...
    The primary change with this update was the addition of a Slight
    Risk (2/5) over parts of the Lower OH Valley and Mid MS Valley --
    driven by 15-percent hail probabilities. The latest visible
    satellite imagery shows an increasingly agitated boundary-layer
    cumulus field evolving across southeast MO -- in the vicinity of a
    frontal wave/weak surface low. Continued heating amid increasing
    boundary-layer moisture ahead of this feature should erode
    inhibition through the remainder of the afternoon and support
    isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms along a pre-frontal
    surface trough. Any storms that form will be moving into an
    environment characterized by around 50 kt of effective shear and
    weak-moderate surface-based buoyancy. This will conditionally favor discrete/semi-discrete supercells capable of producing large hail
    and locally strong gusts. While less certain, a couple of tornadoes
    cannot be ruled out if established supercells evolve, given
    sufficient low-level hodograph curvature. Elsewhere, the Marginal
    Risk was expanded slightly northward to account for an ongoing
    elevated hail risk.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    NORTHWEST TN...SOUTHWEST KY...FAR SOUTHEAST MO...FAR SOUTHERN IL...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to locally severe storms remain possible this
    evening across parts of the middle Mississippi Valley and lower Ohio
    Valley.

    ...Mid MS to lower OH Valleys...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is moving quickly eastward toward
    the Lower Great Lakes region this evening. A rather strong low-level
    jet associated with this system will maintain elevated convection
    for much of the evening across parts of eastern KY/TN. MUCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg and moderate effective shear will continue to support
    a few strong elevated storms with a threat of isolated hail.

    Farther southwest, moderate surface-based buoyancy remains in place
    from western KY/TN into AR and far southeast MO/southern IL, along
    and ahead of a cold front. While ascent associated with the
    departing shortwave trough will become increasingly displaced to the
    north and east, strong deep-layer shear will support supercell
    potential with ongoing convection through the evening, as storms
    move east-southeastward. Any sustained supercells could pose at
    least an isolated threat of hail, locally damaging wind, and
    possibly a tornado. Late this evening, increasing CINH should result
    in a general weakening trend, though a strong storm or two cannot be
    ruled out into the early overnight hours.

    ...Southwest...
    Scattered storms will continue this evening across parts of AZ into
    southeast CA/NV, in association with a mid/upper-level low. Buoyancy
    will remain modest at best, but sufficient deep-layer shear could
    support briefly strong storms through the evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO WESTERN PARTS OF THE OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible across the southern Plains into
    western parts of the Ozarks, mainly late this afternoon into
    tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper-level trough will move slowly eastward across the
    Southwest later today into tonight. Downstream of this system, weak
    lee troughing will become established across the southern/central
    High Plains. A surface boundary initially draped from north TX into
    the ArkLaTex will move northward as a warm front, with rich
    boundary-layer moisture spreading into parts of southern/central
    OK/AR during the afternoon and evening.

    ...Southern Plains into western parts of the Ozarks...
    A broad region of at least isolated severe potential remains evident
    across the southern Plains. Within this region, one or more areas of
    locally greater hail potential may evolve, but confidence in the
    details is low at this time.

    Relatively steep midlevel lapse rates atop dewpoints in the 60s to
    near 70 F will result in moderate destabilization along/south of the
    warm front by late afternoon. Large-scale ascent appears rather
    nebulous into early evening, but isolated storm development cannot
    be ruled out by late afternoon, especially in the vicinity of the
    warm front. Storm coverage will increase through the evening into
    late tonight from southwest into northwest TX and southern OK, as
    ascent related to the approaching trough begins to overspread the
    region.

    Deep-layer shear will be sufficient for at least occasional storm
    organization, with isolated supercells possible. Hail is expected to
    be the most common hazard, though isolated strong/damaging gusts may
    also occur. Regarding tornado potential, a secondary low-level
    moisture surge (with dewpoints approaching 70 F) could result in a
    brief tornado threat with any evening supercells across southwest
    TX. Elsewhere, a nonzero tornado threat could also evolve with any
    persistent supercells near the warm front, but this scenario remains
    uncertain due to generally modest low-level flow/shear.

    A separate area of primarily elevated storm development will be
    possible late tonight from southeast KS/northeast OK into
    central/southern MO. MUCAPE increasing to near 1000 J/kg and
    sufficient effective shear could support an isolated hail threat
    with the strongest storms in this regime.

    ...Southeast AZ into southwest NM...
    Widespread convection is expected later today from southeast AZ into southwest/south-central NM, in response to the eastward-moving upper trough/low. Buoyancy will likely remain weak due to limited heating,
    which may tend to suppress the organized severe threat, but strong
    deep-layer shear could support occasional storm organization.
    Confidence is too low to include probabilities at this time, but
    stronger heating/destabilization than currently expected could
    result in some severe potential.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms appear possible across the southern
    Plains into parts of the Ozarks, mainly late this afternoon into
    tonight. Large hail should be the main threat, but occasional gusty
    winds and perhaps a tornado or two may also occur.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozarks...
    A mid/upper-level trough will move slowly eastward across the lower
    CO River Valley and Southwest today into tonight. Enhanced
    southwesterly mid-level flow will persist across much of the
    southern Plains into the Ozarks and vicinity through the period. A
    moist low-level airmass in place across south/central TX this
    morning will advance slowly northward across north TX and OK/AR in
    tandem with a surface warm front. Weak lee cyclogenesis should occur
    this evening and overnight across west TX as large-scale ascent
    preceding the slow-moving upper trough eventually overspreads the
    southern Plains. Nebulous forcing for much of the day casts
    significant uncertainty on convective development across the warm
    sector until later this evening.

    Still, it appears likely that thunderstorms will gradually increase
    in coverage this evening into early Thursday morning across the
    southern Plains with the approach of the upper trough. Modest
    low-level warm advection in the vicinity of the warm front and a
    developing dryline across west TX may also aid in convective
    development this evening. Most guidance continues to show moderate
    instability in place along/near these boundaries, with modestly
    steepened mid-level lapse rates present. This favorable
    thermodynamic environment, coupled with moderate to strong
    deep-layer shear given the enhanced southwesterly flow aloft, should
    promote organized updrafts.

    Current expectations are for a mix of supercells and multicells to
    develop and pose an isolated threat for mainly large hail. Where
    convection can remain surface-based this evening, some threat for
    occasional gusty winds and perhaps a tornado or two should also
    exist. With time, updraft interactions/mergers should result in a
    messy convective mode, especially with elevated thunderstorms to the
    north of the warm front. Still, at least some risk for severe hail
    may persist for much of the overnight/early Thursday morning period
    with this activity as it spreads east-northeastward across the
    southern Plains and parts of the Ozarks.

    ...Southeast Arizona/Southwest New Mexico...
    Cool mid-level temperatures will be in place over the Southwest as
    the upper trough progresses slowly eastward. Weak instability may
    develop across parts of southeast AZ/southwest NM and vicinity with
    filtered daytime heating. While small hail could occur with the
    stronger cores that develop this afternoon across this region,
    modest low-level moisture and buoyancy should limit the overall
    severe threat.

    Large hail should be the main threat, but occasional gusty winds and

    Cool mid-level temperatures will be in place over the Southwest as

    breaks will allow for modest diurnal destabilization coincident with
    strong deep-layer wind profiles. A few strong to locally severe
    storms could occur with gusty winds and some hail.

    ...20Z Update...
    The forecast remains on track and only minor adjustments were made
    with this update. In parts of north TX, the latest visible satellite
    imagery is showing initial signs of deepening boundary-layer cumulus
    in the vicinity of an east/west-oriented quasi-stationary surface
    boundary. Some high-resolution guidance depicts isolated
    thunderstorm development in the general area during the late
    afternoon/early evening time frame. Around 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and
    an elongated hodograph (around 40 kt of effective shear) would
    conditionally support a supercell or two if storms can initiate.
    However, weak/minimal forcing for ascent (both synoptic and
    mesoscale) limits confidence in the initiation and sustenance of
    storms during the afternoon hours. Given the conditionality, held
    off on an upgrade to Slight Risk at this time, though a locally
    favorable corridor for large hail is possible.

    SOUTHERN NM...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible across the southern
    Plains into parts of the Ozarks through tonight. Large hail should
    be the main threat, but occasional gusty winds and perhaps a tornado
    may also occur.

    ...Southern Plains into parts of the Ozarks...
    Widely scattered storms have developed this evening across parts of west-central/northwest TX, generally near and to the south/east of a
    surface boundary draped from central OK into southwest TX. Gradually
    increasing ascent associated with an approaching mid/upper-level
    trough will result in additional storm development through the
    evening across parts of the southern Plains, where a seasonably
    moist airmass is in place. MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg, moderate
    deep-layer shear, and elongated mid/upper-level hodographs (as noted
    on regional 00Z soundings) will support isolated supercells with a
    threat of large hail and locally gusty winds. A brief tornado will
    also be possible, especially across southwest TX later this evening,
    where backed surface winds and a modest nocturnal low-level jet will
    lead to some enhancement of effective SRH.

    Overnight, a somewhat separate zone of primarily elevated storm
    development is possible from northern OK/southeast KS into parts of
    the Ozarks, within a low-level warm-advection regime. MUCAPE of
    near/above 1000 J/kg and sufficient effective shear could support an
    isolated hail threat with this activity.

    ...Southwest...
    Multiple storm clusters may continue through much of the evening
    into late tonight across parts of AZ/NM, in association with the
    upper trough moving across the Southwest. MUCAPE will generally
    remain weak (near or below 500 J/kg), but favorable shear and
    cooling temperatures aloft could still support small to near-severe
    hail and locally gusty winds with the strongest storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible later today into this
    evening across the southern Plains. Isolated hail, localized strong
    to severe gusts, and a tornado or two are all possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough initially extending from the
    Southwest into northern Mexico will eject northeastward across parts
    of the southern Plains later today. In response to this shortwave, a
    surface low will gradually deepen across the south-central Great
    Plains and move eastward through the period. A surface boundary
    draped across parts of OK/AR in the morning will lift slowly
    northward in the advance of the surface low. Upstream, another
    shortwave trough will drop southward along the Pacific coast and
    evolve into a closed midlevel low across southern CA by the end of
    the period.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Scattered storms will be ongoing across parts of the southern Plains
    later this morning, aided by a modest low-level jet and ascent
    attendant to the approaching shortwave trough. Initially moderate
    MUCAPE and effective shear of 40+ kt could support a few strong to
    locally severe storms during the morning from parts of eastern NM
    into west/central TX and OK, with a threat of isolated hail and
    locally gusty winds.

    Convection will persist through the day, resulting in generally
    modest heating and weakening midlevel lapse rates with time. As a
    result, while deep-layer shear will remain relatively strong across
    the warm sector, potential for organized convection downstream or in
    the wake of morning convection remains somewhat uncertain. Depending
    on the extent of heating and destabilization, at least some
    potential for isolated supercells and/or organized clusters could
    evolve during the afternoon and evening, with a threat of marginally
    severe hail and locally damaging wind. Some enlargement of low-level
    hodographs with time could also support a brief tornado threat from
    parts of central/eastern TX into eastern OK and western AR, if any surface-based supercells can be sustained.

    Farther west, some CAM guidance depicts development of a modestly
    organized convective line across NM into west TX during the
    afternoon/evening, in closer proximity to the ejecting shortwave
    trough. This could pose a threat of strong gusts, but it remains
    quite uncertain as to whether instability will be sufficient to
    support a severe threat with this scenario.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur today into this
    evening across the southern Plains into Arkansas. Large hail,
    damaging winds, and a tornado or two all appear possible.

    ...Southern Plains into Arkansas...
    A mid/upper-level trough extending from the Southwest into northern
    Mexico this morning will eject northeastward across parts of the
    southern Plains today. In response, a surface low will gradually
    deepen across the south-central High Plains and develop eastward
    through the period. A front extending across parts of OK/AR this
    morning will lift slowly northward as a warm front ahead of the
    surface low. Thunderstorms ongoing across parts of the southern
    Plains/ArkLaTex this morning are being aided by a modest low-level
    jet and ascent attendant to the approaching upper trough. Weak to
    locally moderate instability and effective shear of 40-50 kt may
    support a few strong to severe thunderstorms this morning from parts
    of eastern NM into west/central TX and OK, with a threat for mainly
    isolated hail and locally gusty winds.

    Convection and widespread cloud cover will likely persist through
    the day, resulting in generally modest diurnal heating and weakening
    mid-level lapse rates with time. While enhanced deep-layer shear
    will remain across the warm sector owing to persistent strong
    southwesterly mid-level flow, the potential for organized
    thunderstorms downstream or in the wake of ongoing morning
    convection remains uncertain. Still, depending on the extent of
    heating and related destabilization, most guidance continues to show
    some potential for isolated supercells and/or organized multicell
    clusters this afternoon/evening across portions of TX, with a threat
    of isolated severe hail and damaging winds. Modest enlargement of
    low-level hodographs with time could also support a tornado threat
    from parts of central/east TX into eastern OK/western AR along and
    south of the warm front, assuming surface-based supercells can be
    sustained. An isolated severe risk may persist into east TX and the
    ArkLaTex tonight. However, confidence in a corridor of greater
    severe risk remains too low to include higher severe probabilities
    at this time.

    Farther west, some high-resolution guidance continues to show the
    development of a modestly organized convective line across far
    eastern NM into west TX during the afternoon/evening, in closer
    proximity to the ejecting upper trough. This convection could pose a
    threat of strong gusts and perhaps some hail, but it remains
    uncertain as to whether sufficient instability will develop to
    support a severe threat. Have therefore maintained the Marginal Risk
    across this region with only minor changes.

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur today into this
    evening across the southern Plains into Arkansas. Large hail,
    damaging winds, and a tornado or two all appear possible.

    ...Southern Plains to Arkansas...
    Showers/thunderstorms remain common at late morning with widespread
    cloud cover with the warm sector across most of Texas and Oklahoma.
    This precedes a mid/upper-level trough currently located over
    Arizona/New Mexico and far northern Mexico, which will continue to
    eject northeastward toward the southern High Plains. A surface low
    will gradually deepen across the south-central High Plains and
    develop eastward through the period.

    It still seems likely that convection and widespread cloud cover
    will persist through the day, resulting in generally modest diurnal
    heating and weakening mid-level lapse rates with time. While
    enhanced deep-layer shear will remain across the warm sector owing
    to persistent strong southwesterly mid-level flow, the potential for
    organized thunderstorms downstream or in the wake of ongoing morning
    convection remains uncertain, particularly in the context of
    somewhat stronger low-level winds more likely to interface where
    convective overturning has occurred.

    Regardless, some potential for isolated supercells and/or organized
    multicell clusters will exist this afternoon/evening particularly
    across portions of central and possibly into parts of
    North/northeast Texas. This includes isolated severe hail and
    damaging winds, and a modest enlargement of low-level hodographs
    could also support a tornado risk.

    Farther west, some high-resolution guidance continues to show the
    development of additional strong/locally severe storms across
    east/southeast New Mexico into west Texas/southwest Oklahoma, in
    closer proximity to the ejecting upper trough. This convection could
    pose a threat of strong gusts and perhaps some hail, but it remains
    uncertain as to whether sufficient instability will develop to
    support anything beyond a very isolated/marginal-type severe risk.

    evening across the southern Plains into Arkansas. Large hail,

    ...20Z Update...
    No changes were made with this update. An upgrade to Slight Risk was
    considered for parts of south-central into north-central TX ahead of
    the northeast/southwest-oriented band of storms. Here, diurnal
    heating has allowed temperatures to climb into the upper 70s to
    lower 80s amid middle/upper 60s dewpoints -- resulting in a
    moderately unstable warm sector. While this instability and around
    50 kt of effective shear will conditionally favor embedded supercell structures, current thinking is that deep-layer southwesterly
    flow/shear parallel to the larger-scale cold pool will result in
    undercutting and training of storms. Therefore, held off on an
    upgrade at this time. Nevertheless, damaging gusts, sporadic large
    hail, and perhaps a tornado or two will all be possible with any
    longer-lived storms -- especially any that can form immediately
    ahead of the convective band and related cold pool.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Storms capable of locally damaging wind and possibly a tornado or
    two remain possible this evening from parts of the southern Plains
    into Arkansas.

    ...Southern Plains into Arkansas...
    Multiple areas of convection are ongoing across parts of the
    southern Plains this evening, in advance of a mid/upper-level trough
    that will continue to eject northeastward tonight. The greatest
    remaining severe threat appears to reside from parts of
    south-central into northeast TX, where MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg
    and strong deep-layer shear remain in place immediately downstream
    of ongoing storms. At least transient supercell structures will be
    possible through the evening, with a threat of locally damaging wind
    and possibly marginal hail. Modest enhancement of low-level
    hodographs (with 0-1 km SRH of 100-150 m2/s2) could support a brief
    tornado threat. Some uptick in the damaging-wind threat could occur
    with any upscale growth, before convection weakens as it encounters
    diminishing buoyancy with eastward extent. See MCD 2216 for more
    information regarding the short-term threat in this area.

    Some storm redevelopment will be possible late tonight across
    central TX, as an initially quasi-stationary boundary begins to move
    eastward as a cold front. Buoyancy and deep-layer will remain
    sufficient for some storm organization, and an isolated severe
    threat could persist across this region overnight.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    MS/AL/TN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible later today into
    tonight across parts of Mississippi and Tennessee into western and
    northern Alabama.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to deamplify and move
    quickly eastward from the central Plains toward the Ohio Valley
    later today into tonight. In conjunction with this shortwave, a weak
    surface low will move eastward from southern MO to near the TN/KY
    border, along a diffuse surface boundary. Farther west, a
    mid/upper-level cyclone will move southeastward off the coast of
    southern CA.

    ...Parts of the Southeast/TN Valley...
    A Marginal Risk has been added across parts of MS/AL/TN. While
    modest instability will tend to limit the magnitude of the severe
    threat, relatively favorable wind profiles atop seasonably rich
    low-level moisture could result in a threat for a brief tornado
    and/or locally damaging wind.

    Dewpoints in the 60s to near 70 F will spread northward across parts
    of MS/AL/TN later today, in response to the shortwave trough and
    weak surface low approaching the Ohio Valley. Morning convection and
    remnant cloudiness will tend to limit diurnal heating, and midlevel
    lapse rates will remain weak. However, weak capping will allow for
    scattered diurnal storm development from southern/central MS into
    western AL. While stronger mid/upper-level flow and large-scale
    ascent will be displaced to the north, moderate deep-layer shear and
    modest low-level veering of the wind profile could support at least
    transient storm organization, with a threat of locally damaging wind
    and perhaps a brief tornado.

    Farther north into northern MS/AL and parts of TN/far southern KY,
    guidance depicts renewed storm development during the evening into
    late tonight, aided by the glancing influence of the departing
    shortwave trough. Deep-layer flow will remain rather strong across
    this region, so an isolated severe threat could evolve if sufficient
    recovery and destabilization can occur. If organized convection can
    be sustained within this regime, then a threat for a brief tornado
    and/or locally damaging wind could develop later tonight.

    ...Middle/upper TX Gulf Coast...
    Isolated to scattered storms will likely be ongoing later this
    morning across the TX coastal plain, with some redevelopment
    possible later this afternoon or evening along a cold front. While
    deep-layer shear will remain somewhat favorable for storm
    organization, weakening large-scale ascent and warming temperatures
    aloft are currently expected to limit severe potential. If any
    organized convection can persist from overnight, and/or if
    substantial destabilization can occur along/ahead of the front
    during the afternoon, then a few strong storms will be possible.

    ...Southern California...
    Isolated storms will be possible across parts of the Southwest, in
    association with the mid/upper-level cyclone. The strongest
    instability will remain near and offshore of the southern CA coast,
    and low-level flow is expected to generally be weak, but a strong
    storm or two cannot be ruled out, especially early in the day.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA INTO TENNESSEE AND SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible later today into
    tonight across parts of Mississippi and Tennessee into western and
    northern Alabama.

    ...MS/AL/TN/KY...
    Early morning water vapor imagery shows broad west-southwesterly
    flow aloft extending from the southern Plains into the southeast
    states. A southern-stream shortwave trough is noted over LA/AR,
    which will traverse across the mid-South and TN Valley today.
    Multiple areas of precipitation will be present along/ahead of this
    feature, with forecast soundings showing weak-but-sufficient CAPE
    for a few thunderstorm clusters. Mid-level lapse rates are weak,
    suggesting most updrafts will struggle to intensify. However,
    forecast hodographs show strong low-level shear today from eastern
    MS across parts of AL/Middle TN and southeast KY. This could be
    enough for one or two rotating cells capable of a tornado or
    damaging wind event. The overall threat appears marginal at this
    time.

    The primary surface cold front will move into this region after dark
    tonight, with another round of showers and thunderstorms ahead of
    the front. Low-level winds are expected to somewhat veer by this
    time, reducing low-level shear. Nevertheless, a low risk of a
    tornado or two and/or gusty winds will continue.

    ...Southern CA...
    An upper low is centered off the coast of southern CA today, with
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms ongoing. This trend
    will continue through the day, with some risk of a few robust
    thunderstorms affecting coastal areas. Onshore instability and
    low-level shear are expected to remain weak, suggesting organized
    severe storms are unlikely.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible today and tonight
    across parts of Mississippi and Tennessee into western and northern
    Alabama and possibly southern Kentucky.

    ...MS/AL/TN/KY...
    A strengthening of deep-layer flow will occur regionally in tandem
    with the eastward progression of a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    from the Lower Missouri Valley toward the Lower Ohio River Valley
    tonight, with height falls remaining limited south of the Tennessee
    Valley.

    The more organized/sustained scattered thunderstorms this afternoon
    will probably remain focused within the warm conveyor from
    south-central Mississippi into Alabama. On the south-southwest
    periphery of these storms, there will be a gradual northeastward
    expansion of the effective warm sector while destabilization will
    still remain weaker with eastward extent. Mid-level lapse rates are
    weak, suggesting most updrafts will struggle to intensify. However,
    strong deep-layer shear and moderately strong low-level shear/SRH,
    particularly within the aforementioned corridor, could support a
    couple of rotating storms capable of a tornado or damaging wind.

    The primary surface cold front will move into this region tonight,
    with another round of showers and thunderstorms expected to uptick
    this evening across the Mid-South including western Tennessee and

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF MS/AL/TN/KY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms are possible today and tonight
    across parts of Mississippi and Tennessee into western and northern
    Alabama and possibly southern Kentucky.

    ...20Z Update...
    The Marginal Risk was trimmed slightly in northern/central MS, where
    a combination of relatively weaker large-scale forcing for ascent
    and poor deep-layer lapse rates/modest buoyancy (see SHV 18Z
    sounding) should limit the severe-risk compared to areas farther
    north tonight. Elsewhere, widely scattered thunderstorms are
    evolving along a southeastward-moving cold front in southeast TX.
    PBL destabilization ahead of the front has yielded moderate
    surface-based buoyancy (per CRP 18Z sounding). While several warm
    layers aloft and modest deep-layer shear (around 30 kt of effective
    shear) should limit updraft intensity, a strong storm or two capable
    of producing gusty winds cannot be entirely ruled out into this
    evening.

    ..Weinman.. 11/21/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1029 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025/

    ...MS/AL/TN/KY...
    A strengthening of deep-layer flow will occur regionally in tandem
    with the eastward progression of a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    from the Lower Missouri Valley toward the Lower Ohio River Valley
    tonight, with height falls remaining limited south of the Tennessee
    Valley.

    The more organized/sustained scattered thunderstorms this afternoon
    will probably remain focused within the warm conveyor from
    south-central Mississippi into Alabama. On the south-southwest
    periphery of these storms, there will be a gradual northeastward
    expansion of the effective warm sector while destabilization will
    still remain weaker with eastward extent. Mid-level lapse rates are
    weak, suggesting most updrafts will struggle to intensify. However,
    strong deep-layer shear and moderately strong low-level shear/SRH,
    particularly within the aforementioned corridor, could support a
    couple of rotating storms capable of a tornado or damaging wind.

    The primary surface cold front will move into this region tonight,
    with another round of showers and thunderstorms expected to uptick
    this evening across the Mid-South including western Tennessee and
    northern Mississippi. Low-level winds are expected to veer by this
    time, reducing low-level shear/SRH. Nevertheless, a low risk of a
    tornado and/or gusty winds will exist.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ROUGHLY FROM THE
    OHIO VALLEY SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe storms remain possible across parts of
    northern Mississippi and Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. Small to
    marginal hail or gusty winds may occur.

    ...Discussion...
    A low-amplitude shortwave trough will continue moving out of MO and
    across the OH Valley tonight, with cooling aloft eventually
    extending southward across the TN Valley. Midlevel winds of 50-70 kt
    will be present within the speed max, from the OH River into TN,
    resulting in elongated hodographs.

    At the surface, low pressure will translate eastward along a
    quasi-stationary boundary extending from southern MO/IL into central
    KY, though this front will sink south late.

    Minimal lift will exist along this boundary, but the ejecting
    midlevel wave atop the warm sector with 60s F dewpoints may result
    in isolated cells, some possibly reaching severe limits with
    marginal hail over northern areas, and/or wind elsewhere. Winds
    around 850 mb will be quite veered, with mostly straightline
    hodographs, favoring cells.

    00Z soundings confirm generally strong deep-layer shear but poor
    lapse rates aloft and weak instability. However, areas of lift
    overnight may still result in isolated strong storms within the
    marginal area.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are possible across much of the Southwest,
    mainly from late in the day into the overnight. Limited activity may
    occur over North Carolina and southern Virginia. Severe thunderstorm
    potential appears low.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper low will move across northern Baja CA today, and will
    gradually weaken as it moves into AZ by Sunday morning. Cooling
    aloft with this system along with midlevel moistening will
    eventually result in widespread precipitation over much of AZ and
    NM, including a few thunderstorms. Given the elevated nature of the
    instability overnight, severe storms are not anticipated.

    To the east, a low-amplitude upper trough will move across VA and NC
    during the day. Low pressure near the DelMarVa will quickly move out
    to sea as a cold front pushes south out of VA and into NC. Here,
    residual dewpoints near 60 F along with daytime heating will result
    in minimal SBCAPE within a westerly flow regime, possibly supporting
    isolated thunderstorms late afternoon or evening. Strong deep-layer
    shear will support cellular storm mode, but instability and lapse
    rates do not appear to favor severe hail.

    ...TX to SE States...
    A zonal flow pattern is present today over the eastern half of the

    the Carolinas. A few thunderstorms will be possible along/ahead of
    the front from east TX into much of the southeast states today and

    ...Southwest States...
    A compact upper low will track eastward across Baja California this
    afternoon, with an associated mid-level cold pocket affecting
    northwest Mexico and the Four-Corners states. Model guidance agrees
    that scattered thunderstorms will affect these areas by late
    afternoon and through the evening. A few of the HREF members
    indicate some risk of strong storms with small hail and gusty winds
    over southeast AZ. However, forecast soundings do not appear

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are possible across much of the Southwest,
    mainly from late in the day into the overnight. Isolated
    thunderstorms are also possible from the Texas Coast across the
    Southeast States. Severe thunderstorm potential appears low.

    ...South TX/TX Coast across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic...
    Recent surface analysis places a low just off the northern
    Mid-Atlantic coast. A cold front extends west-southwestward from
    this low across central VA and middle TN to another low just east of
    MEM. A cold front extends southwestward from this secondary low
    across northern MS, central LA, and the TX Coastal Plain. This cold
    front is forecast to push eastward/southeastward throughout the day,
    and isolated thunderstorms are anticipated within this broad warm
    sector that stretches from the TX coast through much of the
    Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Poor lapse rates and corresponding
    limited buoyancy should keep updrafts weak and transient throughout
    much of this region, limiting the severe potential. The only
    exception is across south TX, where considerable low-level moisture
    (i.e. dewpoints in the 70s) is in place, resulting in greater
    buoyancy this afternoon. Even so, this region will be displaced well
    south and west of the stronger mid-level flow, with weak shear
    likely limiting updraft organization and persistence and tempering
    the overall severe potential.

    ...Southwest...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low just off the
    northern Baja California coast this morning. This low is forecast to
    progress gradually eastward today, with strong mid-level flow
    spreading from the base of this low eastward/northeastward across
    the Southwest. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are anticipated
    ahead of this upper low, spreading from AZ this afternoon and
    evening into NM overnight. In general, limited buoyancy should keep
    overall thunderstorm strength low, despite strengthen deep-layer
    vertical shear. The only exception is across southeast AZ, where
    very strong vertical shear could overlap modest buoyancy for a few
    hours this evening. Meridional orientation to the shear will favor
    line segments and storm interactions, which should limit updraft
    organization and the overall severe potential. That being said, a
    few stronger storms with small, sub-severe hail and gusty winds are
    possible. The overall severe potential is currently forecast to
    remain too isolated to include any 5% probabilities.

    although small hail cannot be ruled out.

    ...Discussion...
    Scattered thunderstorms persist this evening ahead of an upper low
    moving across northern Baja CA, affecting much of southern into
    eastern AZ. Area soundings and objective analysis indicate a few
    hundred J/kg MUCAPE is present, though primarily elevated in nature.
    All this is occurring within a deep southerly flow regime, with
    moderate deep layer shear. Any embedded cellular activity may
    produce small hail given cold profiles aloft.

    As cooling aloft spreads further into NM overnight, additional rain
    and elevated thunderstorms will develop over the area. Forecast
    soundings indicate favorable deep-layer shear will persist, with
    midlevel moistening above an initially dry boundary layer. Again,
    minimal/small hail will be possible given cold air aloft and
    favorable shear for cellular storm mode.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MUCH OF WESTERN
    INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated hail is possible beginning this afternoon across parts of
    west to north-central Texas.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper low will pivot from AZ into CO today, with a midlevel speed
    max moving into the southern High Plains. Cooling aloft will persist
    across the region throughout the period, leading to steepening lapse
    rates aloft.

    At the surface, high pressure will maintain relatively cool surface temperatures over the Plains and MS Valley, though 50s F dewpoints
    will develop northward into western TX, and near 60 F dewpoints into
    central TX by 12Z Monday.

    As the upper trough emerges into the plains, large-scale ascent will
    move out of NM and into TX and western OK. While the surface air
    mass will be cool most areas, elevated instability should be
    substantial due to a southerly low-level jet with strong theta-e
    advection. Forecast soundings suggest perhaps 1000 J/kg MUCAPE will
    be possible, along with favorable effective shear over 40 kt. As
    such, elevated convection should strengthen from eastern NM into
    western TX, with the greatest severe hail potential over TX where
    instability will be strongest. Isolated large hail seems likely
    after about 18Z.

    Otherwise, there is a conditional threat of an isolated,
    surface-based supercell over far western TX in the Pecos/Fort
    Stockton area, where a narrow zone of SBCAPE may develop due to
    stronger heating. However, it is uncertain if any storms will form
    along the weak boundary.

    ...West TX...
    A large upper low currently over AZ will track northeastward into
    NM, with a 70+ knot mid-level speed max approaching west TX by this
    afternoon. Ahead of this feature, southerly low-level winds will
    help transport 50s dewpoints into much of west TX ahead of a diffuse
    dryline. Most CAM solutions suggest that scattered thunderstorms
    will form along this dryline and track northeastward for a few
    hours. Given the strength of deep-layer shear, supercell structures
    will be likely with a risk of a large hail and perhaps a tornado.
    Storms should weaken by late evening as they move into a
    progressively less unstable air mass and diurnal cooling ensues.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms capable of large hail will be possible this
    afternoon and evening across parts of west Texas.

    ...West TX...
    Current satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low over AZ,
    with a band of showers and embedded thunderstorms preceding it
    across central/eastern NM. This low is forecast to continue
    northeastward throughout the day as a belt of strong mid-level flow
    pivots through its southern and eastern periphery across the
    southern High Plains and into the southern/central Plains. Low-level
    moisture will continue to advect northwestward ahead of this low and
    associated jet streak and model consensus brings upper 50s dewpoints
    into the Permian Basin by this evening. This should result in a
    relatively confined region of surface-based buoyancy across the
    Permian Basin, which will combined with large-scale ascent and
    strong shear to support supercells. Primary threat will be large
    hail, although the anticipated development of surface-based buoyancy
    does indicate a low-probability threat for strong winds and/or a
    tornado.

    Low-level stability will increase quickly with eastward extent, as a
    result of both nocturnal cooling and generally cooler surface
    temperatures throughout the day. Even so, enough elevated buoyancy
    is anticipated for continued strong to occasionally severe storms
    throughout much of the evening and overnight, particularly in the
    03Z-06Z time frame across southwest TX. Hail is the primary risk
    with these storms.

    northwestward in the TX South Plains. Here, continued diurnal
    heating amid middle 50s dewpoints is yielding sufficient
    surface-based buoyancy for any left-mover supercells that may evolve
    (posing a risk of severe hail). Additionally, a significant-hail
    area was added over the western part of the Slight Risk. Given the
    expectation for discrete storms in this area, a long/mostly straight
    hodograph and around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE should support hail to around
    2 inches in diameter with any longer-lived supercells. Finally, the
    5-percent wind probabilities were expanded eastward. Despite
    increasing boundary-layer static stability, gradual upscale growth
    and a focused/eastward-translating low-level jet should allow for
    embedded severe gusts within the line into the early morning hours.
    For details on the near-term severe risk, see MCD #2218.

    ...West TX...
    Current satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low over AZ,
    with a band of showers and embedded thunderstorms preceding it
    across central/eastern NM. This low is forecast to continue
    northeastward throughout the day as a belt of strong mid-level flow
    pivots through its southern and eastern periphery across the
    southern High Plains and into the southern/central Plains. Low-level
    moisture will continue to advect northwestward ahead of this low and
    associated jet streak and model consensus brings upper 50s dewpoints
    into the Permian Basin by this evening. This should result in a
    relatively confined region of surface-based buoyancy across the
    Permian Basin, which will combined with large-scale ascent and
    strong shear to support supercells. Primary threat will be large
    hail, although the anticipated development of surface-based buoyancy
    does indicate a low-probability threat for strong winds and/or a
    tornado.

    Low-level stability will increase quickly with eastward extent, as a
    result of both nocturnal cooling and generally cooler surface
    temperatures throughout the day. Even so, enough elevated buoyancy
    is anticipated for continued strong to occasionally severe storms
    throughout much of the evening and overnight, particularly in the
    03Z-06Z time frame across southwest TX. Hail is the primary risk
    with these storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF SOUTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe storms capable of producing hail and locally strong
    gusts remains possible tonight over parts of west to west-central
    Texas.

    ...Discussion...
    Gradual cooling aloft will occur tonight as the upper trough moves
    into the central and southern Plains, with 50-60 kt midlevel
    southwesterlies maintaining deep-layer shear. At the surface, an
    instability axis currently exists over southwest TX, where
    temperatures are in the 60s with low 60s F dewpoints. While the 00Z
    DRT sounding was capped, the MAF soundings shows significantly
    cooler 700 mb temperatures. A few storms are ongoing over the South
    Plains and into the Pecos Valley, with new echoes developing south
    of FST. Given southeasterly 925 mb winds and continued cooling
    aloft, additional development and possibly strengthening is expected
    overnight.

    Long hodographs will favor cells producing hail, and a few strong
    wind gusts may also occur if bowing structures can develop. Overall, instability will be mainly elevated, except over far southern areas.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
    EASTERN TEXAS AND EXTENDING ACROSS LOUISIANA TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from mid-afternoon into
    the overnight hours over much of eastern Texas, with more isolated
    activity into Mississippi. A few brief tornadoes may occur from
    eastern Texas into Louisiana, along with areas of damaging gusts and
    sporadic large hail.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positive-tilt upper trough will move from the central and southern
    Plains today toward the MS Valley overnight, losing amplitude with
    time. Upper ridging will occur over the East during this time as an
    upper trough exits the Northeast.

    At the surface, high pressure will be centered over the Mid Atlantic
    during the day, with southerly winds from the western Gulf of
    America into TX. A plume of mid to upper 60s F dewpoints will extend
    as far as North TX by 00Z as a cold front approaches the I-35
    corridor. A warm front will extend roughly from the Red River into
    southern AR at that time, with a continued northward advection of
    moisture overnight across MS.

    ...Eastern TX toward the ArkLaMiss...
    Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing from
    North TX into eastern OK and western AR through midday, with
    southerly 40 kt winds at 850 mb aiding moisture transport and lift
    north of the warm front. Given cool profiles aloft and ample
    deep-layer effective shear, some of this activity could produce hail
    at times.

    To the south, a weak cold front will progress across TX, as boundary
    layer dewpoints increase. A capping inversion will exist near 700 mb
    initially, but by early afternoon, the deepening moist layer as well
    as cooling aloft will reduce inhibition near the front, and, by late
    afternoon, even ahead of the cold front within the moist axis.

    Scattered storms are likely to form along the trailing outflow/cold
    front, and perhaps just east of the cold front primarily after 21Z.
    Sufficient cross-boundary winds aloft as well as veering winds with
    height will support scattered supercells. Some of these cells may
    produce a tornado prior to eventual merging of storms along the
    front. The most intense cells may also produce large hail, as
    mid/upper lapse rates will become steep.

    At least an isolated severe threat may persist as far east as MS
    overnight, as the warm front continues to move north, with veering
    wind profiles with height and generally moist conditions supporting
    a conditional tornado risk. However, the upper trough will continue
    to weaken and lift north, reducing confidence in storm coverage.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from mid-afternoon into
    the overnight hours from east Texas into central/southern
    Mississippi.

    ...TX/LA/MS...
    A large upper trough is moving eastward across the southern Plains
    this morning, with an associated 60-70 knot mid level jet expected
    to track into AR by evening. At the surface, a warm front currently
    extends from southeast TX to just off the LA coast. This boundary
    will lift northward through the day, with a moist and moderately
    unstable air mass spreading inland. A combination of diurnal
    destabilization and the approaching upper trough will lead to
    convective intensification by early afternoon over east TX. These
    initial storms will pose a risk of large hail and perhaps some gusty
    winds and a tornado or two.

    As the activity spreads eastward after dark, rather strong low-level
    shear profiles in vicinity of the warm front will maintain a risk of
    severe storms through much of the night across central LA and
    southern MS. Damaging winds and a few tornadoes will be possible.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from mid-afternoon into
    the overnight hours from east Texas into central/southern
    Mississippi.

    ...East TX this afternoon to MS overnight...
    A midlevel shortwave trough over KS/OK/TX this morning will progress
    a bit north-of-east to the lower OH and TN Valleys by Tuesday
    morning. Only weak surface cyclogenesis is expected in advance of
    the de-amplifying midlevel trough, but there will be sufficient mass
    response to support a modestly strong low-level jet (roughly 40 kt)
    from northeast TX this afternoon into the Ark-La-Miss by early
    Tuesday. This low-level jet will correspond to the north edge of
    the richer low-level moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints of 66-70 F),
    and MLCAPE generally 1000-2000 J/kg near and south of the warm
    front.

    Convective mode is likely to remain rather messy through tonight,
    though cellular elements are expected given modest forcing for
    ascent along the deeper baroclinic zone from northeast TX eastward
    near the LA/AR border. Warm sector supercell development is also
    possible by early-mid afternoon from southeast into east TX (see MD
    2222 for additional details), along a confluence zone (now from
    VCT-CLL) and aided by cloud breaks where surface temperatures warm
    into the 75-80 F range. The combination of moderate buoyancy and
    sufficiently long/curved hodographs will support the threat for a
    few supercells capable of producing a few tornadoes, occasional wind
    damaging and isolated large hail. The threat will spread this
    afternoon across east TX and then spread eastward overnight toward
    MS.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible through the afternoon
    into the overnight hours, from east Texas into central/southern
    Mississippi.

    ...20Z Update...
    Only minor changes to general thunder and severe probabilities have
    been made to the Day 1 Convective Outlook to reflect the latest
    observations and guidance consensus. Storms have increased in
    coverage and intensity along the cold front, and along a primary
    low-level moisture confluence zone within the free warm sector.
    Storms seem to be struggling in intensity at the moment, possibly
    due to a sub-optimal vertical wind shear profile in place (please
    see MCD 2223 for more details on short-term convective trends).
    However, convection should persist to some degree along and ahead of
    the cold front through the afternoon into the overnight hours as
    upper support from an approaching mid-level trough overspreads the
    Sabine/MS River Valleys. With adequate low-level moisture advection
    continuing ahead of the cold front, supercells and line segments

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR EAST
    TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible through the overnight
    hours, from far east Texas into central/southern Mississippi.

    ...Synopsis...
    As of 00:30 UTC, a broken line of thunderstorms continues from far
    northeast LA southward towards the Houston metro area. While most
    cells have remained sub-severe thus far, MRMS VIL and GOES IR
    cloud-top temperature trends show a slight uptick in intensity over
    the past hour. Additionally, a slight uptick in 0-2 km winds is
    noted in warm-sector VWP observations, which is bolstering SRH and
    improving the overall convective environment immediately downstream
    of ongoing storms. This environment, characterized by STP values
    between 1-2, is expected to persist through the overnight hours as
    an upper wave and attendant (albeit weak) surface low translate
    eastward towards the MS Valley. Some northward advancement of the
    surface warm front is anticipated as low-level winds increase to
    30-40 knots, which should maintain the potential for strong/severe
    storms, including the potential for a few tornadoes,
    east/northeastward into portions of west-central MS by 09-12 UTC. It
    remains unclear exactly how far northward the surface-based warm
    sector will expand through early morning, but even modest MLCAPE
    (around 500 J/kg) may support a tornado threat given 0-1 km SRH on
    the order of 250 m2/s2. For additional short-term details see MCD
    #2225.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST
    MISSISSIPPI INTO EAST-CENTRAL ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe storms are likely across parts of the Southeast/Deep South this morning into the early evening hours. A
    couple tornadoes are possible in parts of eastern Mississippi and
    Alabama.

    ...Synopsis...
    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a weakening upper wave over
    east TX/LA translating to the east/northeast with a more compact,
    amplifying upper disturbance moving into the northern High Plains.
    Further de-amplification of the southern wave is anticipated over
    the next 24 hours as it lifts into the Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic. As
    this occurs, a weak surface low (analyzed over the mid-MS Valley as
    of 05 UTC) will gradually lift to the northeast with a trailing cold
    front extending from the TN Valley to the Gulf Coast. Thunderstorm
    development is anticipated by mid-afternoon along this boundary
    across portions of eastern MS, AL, and into the southern
    Appalachians. While buoyancy will remain somewhat modest, strong
    wind shear over the region will support the potential for strong to
    severe thunderstorms.

    ...Southeast...
    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing by 12 UTC across portions of
    central MS and northwest AL as remnants from overnight convection
    begin to weaken in tandem with the early-morning maximum in
    inhibition. Some re-intensification of this activity is possible by
    late morning across northeast MS/northern AL as diurnal heating
    increases, but confidence in the coverage/intensity is uncertain.

    30-40 knot south/southwesterly flow in the 1-2 km layer will
    continue to advect seasonally warm/moist air northward into central
    and northeast AL by mid-afternoon. This will allow for adequate
    destabilization within the warm sector for thunderstorm development
    as a weak cold front begins to advance from the west. The
    combination of strong, along-boundary deep-layer wind shear and weak
    forcing for ascent will favor a broken line of cells/clusters by
    mid-afternoon. The strong low-level winds will support a damaging
    wind threat with any strong thunderstorm, and favorable low-level
    helicity (especially late morning through early afternoon) will
    support a tornado threat with the more intense/isolated supercells.
    Through late afternoon, low-level winds veering to the southwest may
    modulate the tornado threat to some degree, but damaging winds and
    isolated large hail will remain possible. In general, the overall
    ensemble signal for intense convection is comparatively weaker
    compared to previous days, suggesting that the severe threat may be
    somewhat more limited. Nonetheless, Slight-risk probabilities were
    maintained for portions of southeast MS through east-central AL
    where strong/severe storms appear most likely.

    Isolated severe storms are possible across parts of the

    couple tornadoes are possible in parts of eastern Mississippi and
    central Alabama.

    ...MS/AL/GA...
    A progressive mid-level shortwave trough is moving across west
    TN/northern MS. Strong forcing for ascent ahead of this trough has
    resulted in a fast-moving line of showers and isolated thunderstorms
    across northern AL this morning - now moving into northwest GA.
    These storms are tracking into a progressively less unstable air
    mass, with surface dewpoints only in the mid 50s. This should limit
    downdraft penetration to the surface and diminish the risk of
    gusty/damaging winds in the next couple of hours.

    In the wake of this activity, southerly low-level winds will allow
    gradual return of the moist and moderately unstable air mass into
    east-central MS and central/northern AL. Large-scale forcing will
    be weak the rest of the day, but pockets of daytime heating may be
    sufficient for the re-development of scattered thunderstorms by
    early afternoon. Those storms that form will be in an environment
    of 20-30 knots of southerly low-level winds and sufficient
    deep-layer shear to promote transient supercell structures.
    Therefore have maintained the ongoing SLGT risk, despite weak
    forcing mechanisms. Gusty winds and a risk of a few tornadoes are
    the main concern.

    Isolated severe storms are possible from east central/southeast
    Mississippi across central Alabama into northwest Georgia through
    late evening. A couple of tornadoes, isolated wind damage and
    isolated large hail will all be possible.

    ...20z Update..
    Only minor adjustments were made to extend the Slight Risk further
    southeast across southern Alabama with this update in alignment with
    recent trends. Occasional rotating cells are noted on radar across central/southern Alabama over the last couple of hours. Daytime
    heating will continue across this region with occasional stronger
    cell development expected through the afternoon. VAD profiles from
    BMX, MXX continue to show favorable low-level curvature of
    hodographs, indicative of SRH rich environments supporting rotating
    cells. A couple of tornadoes, isolated wind damage, and isolated
    large hail remain possible. See previous discussion below for more
    information.

    ...MS/AL/GA through late evening...
    A weakening midlevel trough will continue to eject
    east-northeastward from the TN Valley to the Appalachians, in
    advance of an amplifying trough from the northern Plains to the
    upper MS Valley. An associated/weak surface cold front will move
    southeastward across LA/MS/AL, though the majority of the convective
    threat today will be focused along a residual outflow boundary from
    east central MS into central AL. Low-level recovery into northeast AL/northwest GA will depend on some clearing of clouds/rain, which
    is uncertain. Along and south of this boundary, that is being
    loosely reinforced by ongoing convection, warming surface
    temperatures into the 70s with mid-upper 60s dewpoints will
    contribute to MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg. Forcing for ascent will

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND INTO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTHWEST
    GEORGIA...AND OVER DEEP SOUTH TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong storms remain possible from southern Alabama into
    western Georgia and the Florida Panhandle through late evening, and
    over Deep South Texas.

    ...AL into southwest GA and the FL Panhandle...
    A marginally unstable air mass remains ahead of a cold front this
    evening, extending from northwest GA across central AL. Scattered
    thunderstorms are ongoing near/ahead of the front, with minimal
    indications of severe potential currently. However, PWAT values up
    to 1.50" persist, with minimal convective inhibition especially over
    southern areas. Southwest 850 mb winds near 30 kt is also supporting
    areas of 100-150 m2/s2 effective SRH, which could aid rotation in
    the stronger storms. As such, will maintain the Marginal Risk, with
    a low-end risk of a brief tornado or locally damaging gusts over the
    next several hours.

    ...Deep South TX...
    Weak easterly low-level flow persists this evening south of a
    developing cold front, with 70s F dewpoints onshore. The 00Z CRP
    sounding show minimal capping, though winds are weak below 700 mb.
    Farther south, the 00Z BRO soundings still indicates substantial
    capping. Latest radar already indicates convective showers may be
    developing inland.

    Conditionally, the environment supports hail over 1.00" diameter,
    with MLCAPE over 1500 J/kg and deep-layer effective shear around 50
    kt. The primary uncertainty is due to weak lift. However, the cold
    front will eventually push south into the moist and unstable air
    mass later tonight, and this may result in sufficient lift for a few
    strong to perhaps severe thunderstorms with localized hail threat.
    As such, 5% hail probabilities have been added.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not forecast today.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper low will move across the upper Great Lakes and into
    southwest Quebec, with a large area of cyclonic flow aloft across
    the central and eastern CONUS. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will exist
    over the West, but will weaken as an upper low approaches the
    Pacific Northwest toward Thursday morning.

    At the surface, a deep low will also move from the Great Lakes
    region into western Quebec, with a large area of high pressure over
    the Plains and extending into the southeastern states and into the
    Gulf.

    While a cold front will be located over the central Carolinas and
    into the FL Panhandle early this morning, this boundary will push
    rapidly offshore by midday. Early day rain and a few thunderstorms
    will be possible along the front, but should generally weaken due to
    drying aloft.

    Elsewhere, lingering thunderstorms will be possible over far
    southern Texas as the cold front undercuts moisture over Deep South
    TX. This activity is also expected to weaken and/or be mostly
    offshore during the rest of the day, as drying continues over land.

    A large upper trough continues to deepen across much of the eastern
    U.S. today, while a cold front pushes southward across south TX and
    the southeast coastal states. This process will stabilize the air
    mass across the nation, precluding organized severe storms.

    Scattered thunderstorms have been occurring over southeast
    GA/northern FL, and should persist for a few more hours as they
    spread southward into the FL Peninsula. Weak forcing and limited
    vertical shear suggests severe storms are unlikely. Other scattered thunderstorms have been occurring this morning over Deep South TX in
    vicinity of the front. This activity will also build southward and
    out of the CONUS during the day with little risk of severe activity.

    The threat for thunderstorms appears negligible along/ahead of the

    A band of showers/shallow convection along the cold front will
    spread eastward today across WV and western PA/NY with gusty winds,
    but lightning and convective wind damage appear unlikely.
    Overnight, a lake effect convective band is expected across eastern
    Lake Erie, where buoyancy depth could become marginally sufficient
    for charge separation and isolated lightning flashes, though the

    ...Southern Florida/Keys...
    Convection in a small cluster initially centered over interior
    southern Florida, generally to the northwest of Greater Miami, has
    undergone recent weakening. While occasional lightning persists in
    stronger cores, guidance suggests that potential for this continuing
    inland and near coastal areas will become increasingly negligible
    through 02-03Z.

    Otherwise, although more uncertain due to model spread, potential
    for scattered convection capable of producing lightning might
    increase late tonight near the lower Keys, if an increase in
    large-scale ascent is able to overcome inhibition associated with
    relatively warm layers aloft.

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
    U.S. today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that an initially significant, and now occluding,
    cyclone will gradually weaken across Quebec today through tonight,
    as a weaker secondary cyclone also occludes across and
    north-northeast of the Canadian Maritimes. In mid-levels, it
    appears that large-scale troughing will be reinforced and undergo
    amplification while progressing into and across the Atlantic
    Seaboard, in response to a pair of initially digging short wave
    perturbations across and east of the Mississippi Valley. As this
    occurs, a notable associated surface cold front is forecast to
    progress away from the Atlantic Seaboard, and through much of the
    remainder of the Florida Peninsula and Gulf Basin.

    Within split westerlies emanating from the northern and mid-latitude
    Pacific, a pair of short wave impulses are forecast to dig inland
    across the Cascades and Canadian Rockies, downstream of building
    larger-scale mid/upper ridging. However, it appears that generally
    stable conditions will be maintained across much of the West, in
    addition to most areas east of the Rockies.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Downstream of the amplifying large-scale mid-level trough axis,
    models continue to indicate that one area of developing large-scale
    forcing for ascent may overcome mid-level inhibition and support a
    couple of generally weak thunderstorms across the Lower Florida Keys
    into southeastern Florida coastal vicinities this morning into
    afternoon. In the presence of another developing area of
    large-scale ascent, weak destabilization may also support at least
    lower threshold probabilities for thunderstorms, ahead of the
    southward advancing cold front across interior central into east
    central coastal portions of the peninsula this afternoon.

    ...Lower Great Lakes...
    Cold air overspreading the relative warm waters of Lakes Erie and
    Ontario may contribute to thermodynamic profiles increasingly
    conducive to convection capable of producing occasional lightning,
    particularly as temperatures cool below -20 to -25 C in the 700-600
    mb layer this afternoon into tonight, based on forecast soundings.

    A large upper trough remains dominant over the eastern U.S. today,
    with a cold front sweeping southward across FL. A few thunderstorms

    low-level drying will eventually stabilize the air mass and end the

    ...PA/NY...
    Cold temperatures aloft and warm lake temperatures could be
    sufficient for a few lightning strikes in the lee of Lake Erie and
    Ontario today. Forecast soundings suggest mid-level lapse rates and
    the depth of the unstable layer will be sufficient for occasional
    thundersnow through today and this evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the
    nation tonight.

    ...01Z Update...
    Drying and stabilizing trends are now well underway across
    southeastern Florida coastal areas and the Keys, where
    lower/mid-tropospheric wind fields have veered to northwesterly.

    Some lightning was noted earlier in a convective band within
    west-southwesterly low-level flow emanating from Lake Ontario, where trajectories across the relatively warm lake waters are maximized.
    Additional convection occasionally becoming capable of producing
    lightning appears possible to the east of Lake Ontario through at
    least 05-06Z, before this potential becomes more negligible as mean lower/mid-tropospheric winds begin to veer to a more
    westerly/northwesterly component.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Weak thunderstorm activity may begin to develop across parts of
    western Texas by this afternoon, before increasing within an
    expanding area of precipitation across parts of the central and
    southern Great Plains toward lower Missouri and Mississippi Valleys
    tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Downstream of amplifying flow, including building mid/upper ridging
    across the mid-latitude eastern Pacific, it appears that at least a
    couple of short wave perturbations may consolidate into larger-scale
    digging troughing across and east of the Canadian and northern U.S.
    Rockies later today through tonight. There is notable spread still
    evident within/among the model output concerning this evolution, but
    models generally indicate that this will be accompanied by modest
    surface cyclogenesis across parts of eastern Colorado into the
    adjacent central Great Plains by 12Z Saturday.

    This is close on the heels of a cool/dry intrusion still ongoing
    across the central into southwestern Gulf Basin, in the wake of
    amplified mid/upper troughing approaching the Atlantic Seaboard.
    However, the most significant short wave perturbation still digging
    within this regime is forecast to rapidly accelerate into the
    northwestern Atlantic today through tonight, and trailing surface
    ridging likely will begin shifting east of the southern Great
    Plains/lower Mississippi Valley. Models suggest that this will
    occur in a manner allowing for a strengthening southerly return flow
    from the Texas South Plains/lower Rio Grande Valley toward the lower
    Missouri Valley by late tonight.

    This may be accompanied by rapid north-northeastward advection of
    moisture now present across/east of the Mexican Plateau, and include near-surface dew points increasing through the mid 50s to lower 60s
    F across Deep South Texas into portions of western North Texas by
    the end of the period. However, to the north of Deep South Texas,
    where relatively warm mid-level temperatures probably will inhibit
    thunderstorm development, the moisture return is generally forecast
    above a residual cool/stable near-surface layer, which will remain
    deeper with northward/eastward extent into the central Great Plains
    and lower/middle Mississippi Valley.

    Still, forecast soundings indicate that this moistening, near the
    base of a layer of steepening lapse rates aided by
    lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, will provide support for
    convective development capable of producing lightning. It appears
    that this could initiate across the Permian Basin vicinity by this
    afternoon, if not perhaps earlier, before forcing for ascent
    supports increasingly widespread convection and embedded weak
    thunderstorm activity across parts of the southern into central
    Great Plains and lower Missouri Valley tonight.

    Morning water vapor imagery shows the upper ridge that has dominated
    the weather over the southwest states is rapidly breaking down, as a
    strong upper trough over OR approaches the Rockies. Large-scale
    height falls and increasing low-level warm/moist advection will
    result in marginal instability over TX and the development of
    scattered thunderstorms later today.

    Convection has already begun to form over the Big Bend region of TX
    this morning. Thunderstorms will further develop over west TX
    through early afternoon, then expand eastward into parts of OK and
    central TX this evening. Relatively steep mid-level lapse rates
    will be present over the central/southern Plains, but limited
    moisture return will generally keep CAPE values below 1000 J/kg and
    limit updraft strength/severe potential. Nevertheless, the
    strongest storms this evening could produce small hail.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not anticipated tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Evening water-vapor imagery shows a weak shortwave trough over the
    Plains moving eastward ahead of a second, more intense, upper trough
    over the central and northern Rockies. As the primary trough
    intensifies to the west, the increases in west/southwesterly
    midlevel flow will help deep a surface low moving from eastern
    CO/western KS into OK tonight. The southerly winds will allow modest
    northward moisture return tonight across parts of the southern
    Plains and Ozarks.

    As the surface low strengthens with the approach of the western
    trough this evening and overnight, low-level warm advection should
    also intensify. Strong isentropic ascent atop the cool and
    relatively dry boundary-layer over the southern Plains should
    support increasing coverage of showers and elevated thunderstorms
    already ongoing from central and western North TX into OK and
    eventually the lower MO Valley/Ozarks. With meager buoyancy aloft
    (MUCAPE 500 J/kg or less) the potential for stronger updrafts
    appears quite limited despite increasingly robust deep-layer shear
    profiles. While a stronger storm or two with the potential for small
    hail cannot be completely ruled out, severe potential remains very
    low.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF EAST/SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of east
    and southeast Texas into western Louisiana today and tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper trough and increasingly strong westerly flow over the
    central US are forecast to quickly intensify today, moving into the
    Ohio Valley by tonight. Accompanying the strengthening trough, a
    surface low over OK will deepen and shift toward the mid MS valley.
    Trailing the low, a strong cold front will sweep southeastward with
    increasing moisture ahead of it over the far southern Plains. Ahead
    of the front, isolated strong to severe storms are possible over
    parts of East TX and western LA this afternoon into early Sunday
    morning.

    ...Eastern Texas into western LA...
    South of the surface low across parts of central and southeast TX,
    low-level warm air advection is expected much of the day associated
    with a weakening 850 mb low-level jet. Persistent southerly flow
    will help transport low to mid 60s F dewpoints northward across the
    TX coastal plain into portions of central TX and far western LA.
    Filtered diurnal heating should allow for some warming of the
    relatively cool boundary layer. This warming, along with the
    increase in low-level moisture, should support at least weak
    destabilization by peak heating as cold mid-level temperatures from
    the approaching trough move overhead. While overall forcing and flow
    aloft should be modest south of the primary upper trough, isolated thunderstorms are possible within the warm advection regime through
    the afternoon and into the evening/overnight hours.

    Veering hodographs and a subtle increase in deep-layer shear should
    favor some storm organization with convection across southeast TX
    into far western LA. Wind fields will be weak, but slightly enlarged
    low-level hodographs (ESRH 100-200 m2/s2) and a cellular storm mode
    could favor transient supercell structures along with occasionally
    organized multicells. A brief tornado and marginally severe hail are
    possible with the stronger updrafts. While any sustained severe risk
    is likely to be contingent upon sufficient warming for surface-base
    buoyancy, at least a low-end risk is possible from late afternoon
    through much of the overnight hours ahead of the cold front.

    As the cold front moves south from the Red River into central TX
    this afternoon and into the evening, additional storms are likely to
    form along and behind it as the front encounters the northern
    fringes of the moisture plume. Despite sufficient buoyancy (MLCAPE
    500-1000 J/kg), the undercutting nature of the surging front should
    tend to limit storm intensity. Still, sufficient deep-layer shear
    (35-45 kt) could support a few stronger clusters as a broken line
    develops and surges south. Isolated hail, and perhaps some strong
    gusts are possible as the front is expected to quickly move toward
    the coast and reach the Gulf early Sunday morning.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of east
    and southeast Texas into western Louisiana today and tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a shortwave trough moving into
    the central Plains, with another shortwave in its wake over central
    WY. The lead shortwave is forecast to continue quickly eastward,
    reaching MO by this afternoon before then pivoting more
    northeastward from the Mid MS Valley into Lower MI. This progression
    will be accompanied by a strengthening of the mid-level flow as it
    spreads from the central Plains into the OH and TN Valleys.

    A surface low, recently analyzed over central KS, will accompany the
    lead shortwave as well, moving rapidly northeastward across MO and
    IL before ending the period over Lower MI. A cold front attendant to
    this low will sweep eastward across the Ozarks and southeastward
    across the southern Plains and Lower MS Valley. A large area of
    elevated thunderstorms is expected from the Arklatex into the Mid MS
    Valley, supported by strong southwesterly low-level flow and
    associated warm-air advection ahead of the front. More intense and
    potentially severe storms are anticipated along and ahead of the
    front across central/east TX and western LA.

    ...Central/East TX...Western LA...
    Recent surface analysis placed mid 50s dewpoints as far north as the
    TX Big Country, with 60s dewpoints farther south in the TX Hill
    Country. Low-level moisture advection is forecast to continue
    throughout the day, with mid 50s dewpoints reaching the Red River
    and low 60s dewpoints likely reaching the Metroplex vicinity ahead
    of the cold front. Primary thunderstorm activity is anticipated
    along the front as it interacts with the modestly moist and buoyant
    airmass ahead of it. Moderate mid-level flow is expected, but the
    fast-moving front will still likely lead to a prevalence of undercut
    updrafts. Even so, sufficient deep-layer shear (35-45 kt) could
    support a few stronger clusters as a broken line develops and surges
    south. Isolated hail, and perhaps some damaging gusts are possible
    as the front moves quickly toward the coast and reaches the Gulf
    early Sunday morning.

    There is a low-probability chance that thunderstorms develop from
    the TX Hill Country into the Brazos Valley during the afternoon,
    supported by low-level confluence within a diurnally destabilized
    airmass. If any of these updrafts are able to mature, there is
    enough low-level curvature to support transient supercell structures
    along with occasionally organized multicells. A brief tornado and
    marginally severe hail are possible with any stronger,
    longer-duration updrafts.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of east
    and southeast Texas into western Louisiana through tonight.

    ...Central/East/Southeast Texas into Western Louisiana...
    A mid-level shortwave trough over the Plains this morning will
    continue to progress quickly east-northeastward today across the mid
    MS Valley/Midwest and OH Valley. A related surface low over eastern
    KS will likewise develop northeastward towards IL by this evening,
    with an attendant cold front sweeping south-southeastward across
    OK/TX and the ArkLaTex through tonight. Low-level warm/moist
    advection will continue to aid the northward transport of a
    partially modified Gulf airmass over portions of central/east TX and
    perhaps western LA. Thunderstorms should eventually develop by late afternoon/early evening along the front across north-central TX and
    vicinity, even though large-scale ascent will remain nebulous behind
    the departing mid-level shortwave trough.

    Filtered daytime heating will result in modest destabilization
    across the warm sector today, although mid-level lapse rates are not
    expected to remain modest. Sufficient deep-layer shear associated
    with a subtropical/southern branch of a mid/upper-level jet should
    support some updraft organization. Hail and strong/gusty winds may
    occur with the stronger cores that can develop and be sustained.
    But, the surging cold front will likely undercut convection fairly
    quickly. There also appears to be some chance for isolated
    thunderstorms to develop ahead of the front from parts of central
    into southeast TX late this afternoon. The large-scale forcing for
    ascent with southward extent will remain weak/nebulous at best, but
    low-level confluence may aid in convective initiation across this
    area. If these thunderstorms can develop, they would have access to
    greater instability and sufficient low-level shear to pose some
    threat for a tornado or two. However, the overall environment still
    supports maintaining a Marginal Risk given the departing shortwave
    trough and related large-scale forcing, modest lapse rates aloft,
    and tendency for the low-level flow to gradually weaken/veer with
    time through this evening and tonight.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of east
    and southeast Texas into western Louisiana through tonight.

    ...20z Update...
    The previous forecast largely remains on track with only minor
    adjustments required - mainly removal of thunder probabilities
    across portions of OK/KS/MO where the mid-level vorticity maximum
    and surface cold front have already passed through. Across
    east/southeast TX, modest low-level moisture advection continues
    northward with temperatures warming into the upper 70s and low 80s
    for a few locations - a few degrees warmer than anticipated by
    high-res guidance. This additional heating combined with persistent,
    but shallow, convective showers across southeast TX lend confidence
    that at least a few attempts at deeper convection are likely by peak
    heating in the coming hours. Any appreciable tornado threat will
    likely be limited to near/along a diffuse warm frontal zone draped
    roughly from the Houston to Waco, TX area where low-level winds
    remain south/southeasterly. Further north near the DFW metro,
    deepening cumulus is noted in visible imagery where the surface cold
    front is impinging on the northern extent of appreciable MLCAPE.
    Thunderstorm development along the front appears likely in the
    coming hours, but the modest buoyancy profiles should modulate
    convective intensity. See the previous discussion for additional
    details.

    low-level confluence may aid in convective initiation across this
    area. If these thunderstorms can develop, they would have access to
    greater instability and sufficient low-level shear to pose some
    threat for a tornado or two. However, the overall environment still
    supports maintaining a Marginal Risk given the departing shortwave
    trough and related large-scale forcing, modest lapse rates aloft,
    and tendency for the low-level flow to gradually weaken/veer with
    time through this evening and tonight.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF EAST AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO WESTERN LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible across portions of
    east and southeast Texas into western Louisiana tonight.

    ...Southeast TX and western LA...
    Water vapor imagery shows an upper trough over the Plains lifting
    into the Midwest and western Great Lakes this evening. Ascent
    attendant to the trough was passing over parts of southeast TX and
    western LA. A surface low over KS will continue to deepen as it
    lifts northward into the Midwest this evening. Southerly low-level
    flow along the TX coast will continue transporting a partially
    modified Gulf air mass northward ahead of a strong cold front
    trailing the low. This front will surge south, gradually shrinking
    the already confined warm sector over the southeastern TX Coastal
    Plain tonight.

    Within the shrinking warm sector, scattered showers and a few weak thunderstorms may slowly intensify with continued low-level warm
    advection over east/southeast TX and far western LA. Around 1000
    J/kg of MLCAPE will support occasional stronger updrafts despite
    only modest mid-level lapse rates and nebulous ascent. Veering
    low-level hodographs could support weak updraft rotation with the
    strongest cells. A brief tornado, marginal hail and occasional
    strong gusts are possible, especially near a diffuse warm front
    across east TX and far western LA. These storms will persist tonight
    and eventually merge with the cold front moving south.

    Isolated thunderstorms along the front over north TX should continue
    to increase in coverage as the front surges south into more robust
    surface moisture. Current guidance shows these storms eventually
    merging with the warm sector convection and moving offshore between
    10-12z Sunday. While surface temperatures should gradually cool this
    evening, sufficient moisture and weak buoyancy will maintain a risk
    for damaging gusts and perhaps some hail with the stronger cores.
    This appears most likely near the coast where the front will be less
    likely to undercut ongoing convection. The severe risk will quickly
    decrease into early Sunday as the front and remaining warm sector
    are pushed offshore.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are possible along the Gulf Coast and southern
    Florida. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    Severe storm potential is low over the CONUS today. A broad upper
    trough over the Midwest will shift eastward with shortwave ridging
    in its wake. A second shortwave trough will intensify over the
    southern Rockies as flow aloft becomes more zonal over the eastern
    half of the US. At the surface, low pressure over the Great Lakes
    will quickly lift northward into Canada as a strong cold front
    sweeps south toward the US Gulf/Atlantic Coasts. High pressure and
    an arctic air mass behind the front will keep much of the US hostile
    to thunderstorm development.

    The only exception will be where modest instability can develop near
    the southeastern FL Peninsula, eastern Atlantic waters and the
    immediate Gulf Coast ahead of the cold front. Isolated thunderstorms
    that develop will be aided by modest mid-level southwesterly flow
    atop the surface frontal zone. These storms should move quickly
    offshore before midday as the front continues surging south.
    Residual buoyancy inland will become increasingly removed with time
    as high pressure and resulting offshore flow intensifies. Given the
    very weak instability and short residence time of onshore
    convection, severe weather is not expected.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are possible along the Gulf Coast, southern
    Florida, and central Utah. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A pair of shortwave troughs, one currently moving through the Upper
    Great Lakes region and the other moving into the Upper Midwest, will
    pivot eastward/northeastward today, with the second shortwave ending
    the period extended from eastern Quebec through New England. Farther
    west, another shortwave trough will drop southeastward through the
    Great Basin. Evolution of these waves will promote continued upper
    troughing across the western and central CONUS while the eastern
    CONUS trends more zonal.

    At the surface, a low associated with the Upper Great Lakes
    shortwave is currently centered over Lower MI. An extensive cold
    front extends southward from this low into northern KY before
    shifting more southwestward and continuing to another surface low
    just off the South TX Coast. The primary surface low is forecast to
    progress northeastward across southeastern Ontario and eastern
    Quebec while occluding throughout the day. As it does, northern and
    central portions of the cold front will make steady
    eastward/southeastward progress throughout the day, likely extending
    from southern New England through the Carolina Piedmont by 00Z.
    Southern portion of the front will also move eastward, but more
    slowly, as a weak frontal low moves eastward along the immediate
    central Gulf Coast.

    Dry and stable conditions associated with a cold continental airmass
    will preclude thunderstorms across the majority of the CONUS. A few
    isolated thunderstorms are possible across the immediate
    western/central Gulf Coast, where moderate low-level moisture
    remains in place ahead of the cold front and/or surface low. A few
    isolated thunderstorms are also possible across the southern/eastern
    FL Peninsula amid moderate low-level moisture and weakly convergent
    low-level easterly flow. Lastly, a few flashes could occur within
    any deeper convection over central UT as the Great Basin shortwave
    trough progresses across the region.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER COASTAL
    PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible across coastal portions of the
    Florida Panhandle late Monday night into early Tuesday morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positively tilted midlevel trough will advance eastward from the
    central Rockies/High Plains to the Mid MS Valley through the period.
    To the south of this predominant feature, a subtle/low-amplitude
    impulse will track east-northeastward across the Gulf Coast states
    -- gradually phasing with the aforementioned trough late in the
    period. As this phasing occurs, low-level south-southwesterly flow
    will strengthen beneath a belt of 50-kt midlevel westerly flow in
    the 06-12Z time frame -- with the strongest low-level mass response
    focusing over the Florida Panhandle. In the low-levels, an
    increasingly defined frontal wave will develop eastward along an east/west-oriented marine front draped along the immediate central
    Gulf Coast -- approaching the western FL Panhandle by around 08-09Z
    (with varying timing/placement among the latest model guidance).

    ...Florida Panhandle...
    As the frontal wave evolves eastward in the vicinity of the FL
    Panhandle, most guidance depicts middle/upper 60s boundary-layer
    dewpoints overspreading the immediate coast between 08-12Z. Forecast
    soundings suggest 67-68F dewpoints will yield weak surface-based
    buoyancy over the coast. Any offshore supercells/organized clusters
    that can move/develop into this weak (albeit sufficient)
    surface-based buoyancy amid enlarging, clockwise-curved low-level
    hodographs will pose a localized tornado and damaging-wind risk over
    the immediate coast. Despite a potentially limited spatial/temporal
    overlap between the surface-based buoyancy and favorable low-level
    shear, 2-percent tornado and 5-percent wind probabilities are
    warranted where this overlap should be maximized ahead of the
    frontal wave.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS COASTAL
    PORTIONS OF ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible across coastal portions of
    Alabama and the Florida Panhandle late tonight into early Tuesday
    morning.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a well-defined shortwave
    trough moving eastward through the Four Corners vicinity, within the
    base of a larger upper trough that extends from the Upper MS Valley
    through AZ. This shortwave is forecast to pivot eastward and then
    northeastward throughout the period, moving across the
    southern/central High Plains, OK/KS, and the Mid-South before ending
    the period over the upper OH Valley. A strong mid-level jetlet (i.e.
    90 kt at 500-mb) is anticipated within the base of this shortwave,
    with a more expansive strengthening of the mid-level southwesterly
    flow anticipated across much of area preceding the wave (i.e. from
    the mid/lower MS Valley into much of the eastern CONUS).

    Even with the strengthening wind fields aloft and large-scale ascent
    attendant to this deepening wave, the limited time since the
    previous frontal intrusion will keep any low-level moisture return
    confined largely to the immediate Gulf Coast. Even so, a few
    elevated thunderstorms are possible from this morning into the
    afternoon across the TX Gulf Coast, with much of this activity
    supported by ascent and warm-air advection attendant to a more
    subtle, lower-amplitude shortwave currently moving into south TX.
    Phasing of this lower-amplitude shortwave with the stronger
    shortwave farther north will support a more expansive strengthening
    of the low-level south-southwesterly flow late in the period. This
    phasing will also contribute to a deepening of a surface low
    progressing northeastward along a warm front moving northward into
    the FL Panhandle. Some severe potential is possible late tonight
    into early tomorrow as this surface low interacts with an
    increasingly moist and buoyant airmass over the FL Panhandle.

    ...Coastal AL and FL Panhandle...
    Most guidance brings mid 60s dewpoints into immediate coastal region
    of AL and the FL Panhandle during the last 4 hours of the period
    (08Z-12Z Tuesday), just ahead of the surface low. This increasing
    low-level moisture should erode any low-level convective inhibition
    and result in an airmass supportive of surface-based thunderstorms.
    Buoyancy will be modest, but still sufficient, for deep updrafts,
    amid veering low-level wind profiles and robust mid-level flow. As a
    result, a few supercells could be maintained or develop as the warm
    sector convection moves ashore from coastal AL across the FL
    Panhandle. Primary risks with these storms are a brief tornado
    and/or localized damaging gusts over the immediate coast. This
    threat will continue past 12Z Tuesday into northern FL, which is
    discussed in the Day 2 Convective Outlook.

    ...Coastal Carolinas...
    Strengthening low-level flow will contribute to increasing warm-air
    advection showers and thunderstorms late Monday through early
    Tuesday. Consensus within the guidance keeps the higher low-level
    moisture just offshore, and the majority of this activity will be
    elevated atop a strong low-level inversion. This should temper the
    overall severe potential. Immediate coastal regions south of MHX may
    see higher dewpoints right at the end of the period, but any
    stronger storms are still expected to remain offshore.

    PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible across coastal portions of
    Alabama and the Florida Panhandle late tonight into early Tuesday
    morning.

    ...Gulf Coast...

    A large-scale upper trough oriented from the Upper Midwest to the
    southern High Plains late this morning will continue eastward
    through the period, becoming positioned from the Great Lakes to the
    Lower MS Valley by Tuesday morning. Another weaker mid/upper
    shortwave located over the northwest Gulf will lift northeast across
    the central/eastern Gulf coast vicinity while merging with the
    aforementioned synoptic-scale trough. As this occurs, a broad area
    of stronger south/southwesterly low to midlevel flow will overspread
    the Gulf coast/Southeast. This warm advection regime will allow low
    to mid 60s F dewpoints to impinge on immediate coastal areas in AL
    and the FL Panhandle ahead of an eastward advancing cold front late
    tonight.

    Within the warm frontal zone, modest surface-based instability
    should develop after 06z. Forecast soundings indicate supercell wind
    profiles will be present. However, poor lapse rates and SBCAPE
    generally less than 750 J/kg will limit updraft intensity. Storms
    moving inland from the Gulf also will have limited area before
    becoming elevated to the cool side of the warm front. Nevertheless,
    transient supercells could produce a tornado or two, and/or
    localized strong gusts, early Tuesday morning. The risk may continue
    north and east into portions of northern FL on Tuesday morning at
    the beginning of the Day 2 period (see Day 2 Convective Outlook for
    more details).

    Additional isolated elevated thunderstorms will be possible from the
    TX coastal Plain into portions of the Lower MS Valley today. This
    activity is occurring within persistent, broad large-scale ascent
    and midlevel warm advection atop a cooler/drier boundary-layer.
    Severe storms are not expected with this activity.

    ...Coastal Carolinas...

    A prior cold frontal passage and cold air damming across the
    Piedmont will generally keep 60s F dewpoints offshore through the
    period. Some guidance does bring a sliver of better boundary layer
    moisture along the immediate coast/Outer Banks vicinity the last
    couple hours of the period. However, any appreciable instability and
    stronger convection is expected to remain offshore through 12z
    Tuesday.

    transient supercells could produce a tornado or two, and/or
    localized strong gusts, early Tuesday morning. The risk may continue
    north and east into portions of northern FL on Tuesday morning at
    the beginning of the Day 2 period (see Day 2 Convective Outlook for
    more details).

    Additional isolated elevated thunderstorms will be possible from the
    TX coastal Plain into portions of the Lower MS Valley today. This
    activity is occurring within persistent, broad large-scale ascent
    and midlevel warm advection atop a cooler/drier boundary-layer.
    Severe storms are not expected with this activity.

    ...Coastal Carolinas...

    A prior cold frontal passage and cold air damming across the
    Piedmont will generally keep 60s F dewpoints offshore through the
    period. Some guidance does bring a sliver of better boundary layer
    moisture along the immediate coast/Outer Banks vicinity the last
    couple hours of the period. However, any appreciable instability and
    stronger convection is expected to remain offshore through 12z
    Tuesday.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE ALABAMA AND FLORIDA PANHANDLE COASTS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible across coastal portions of
    Alabama and the Florida Panhandle late tonight into early Tuesday
    morning.

    ...01Z Update...
    No changes were made to the severe-thunderstorm probabilities with
    this update. The latest surface/buoy observations and mosaic radar
    data indicate an increasingly defined frontal wave low centered
    about 60 miles south of the LA coast. This feature will continue
    evolving east-northeastward along a marine boundary that arcs
    northeastward and then eastward offshore of coastal MS, AL, and the
    western FL Panhandle. This boundary demarcates the northern bound of
    fully modified Gulf moisture (upper 60s to lower 70s boundary-layer
    dewpoints). Ahead of the frontal wave low, dewpoints are still in
    the upper 50s along the aforementioned coastal areas. However, as a
    southerly low-level jet continues strengthening to around 40 kt, the
    marine boundary and related moisture should impinge on the immediate
    coastal areas in the 08-12Z time frame.

    Given the development of weak (albeit sufficient) surface-based
    buoyancy amid enlarging clockwise-curved low-level hodographs
    (EVX/MOB VWPs already sampling 250-350 m2/s2 0-1km SRH), the risk
    for a couple organized clusters/supercells approaching coastal AL
    and the FL Panhandle will increase (especially in the 06-12Z time
    frame). Any stronger/organized storms will pose a risk of a couple tornadoes/waterspouts and locally damaging gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible mainly across the Florida
    Panhandle this morning. The stronger storms will be capable of
    producing locally damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad midlevel trough will advance eastward from the Ohio Valley
    into the western Atlantic Ocean through the period. In the
    low-levels, a frontal-wave low -- initially near the western FL
    Panhandle -- will move eastward across northern FL while being
    absorbed into a broad surface trough extending from the Carolinas
    southwestward into northern FL during the late morning hours.
    Thereafter, a coastal low will develop northward along the Eastern
    Seaboard, while a related southward-extending cold front approaches
    the western FL Peninsula during the afternoon/evening time frame.

    ...FL Panhandle...
    Thunderstorms will be ongoing across the FL Panhandle at the start
    of the period -- within a zone of surface convergence and low-level
    warm advection preceding the frontal-wave low. Despite poor
    deep-layer lapse rates, upper 60s dewpoints will contribute to
    surface-based inflow for this activity as it spreads eastward across
    northern FL through the morning hours. Around 40-50 kt of effective
    shear and clockwise-curved low-level hodographs will conditionally
    support a couple transient supercell structures and small line
    segments. Locally damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado will be
    possible with the stronger storms that develop. The severe risk will
    diminish from west to east as surface winds veer and the strongest
    low-level mass response accompanying the midlevel trough shifts
    northeastward into the afternoon hours.

    Farther south, a strong storm or two may approach portions of the
    western FL Peninsula ahead of the cold front during the late
    morning/early afternoon hours -- aided by around 40 kt of effective
    shear and weak surface-based buoyancy. However, this area will be
    well removed from the deep-layer forcing for ascent, suggesting that
    storms should be weakening as they approach coastal areas amid the
    weak buoyancy.

    ...Outer Banks..
    As the coastal low tracks northward along the Eastern Seaboard, the surface-based warm sector should generally remain offshore -- where
    ample PBL moisture and strong low/deep-layer shear will favor
    supercells. Depending on the track of the surface low, a couple
    strong storms may track northward close to the Outer Banks during
    the morning, though confidence in storms impacting coastal areas is
    too low to add severe-thunderstorm probabilities at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE EASTERN FL PANHANDLE INTO NORTHERN FL...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible mainly across the eastern
    Florida Panhandle into northern Florida this morning. The stronger
    storms could produce locally damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado.

    ...Eastern FL Panhandle/northern FL...
    Recent surface analysis placed a cold front from eastern TN to off
    the far western FL Panhandle. A weak low precedes this front over
    the central FL Panhandle, centered roughly 40 miles north of AAF. A
    diffuse warm front extends northeastward from this low through
    southern GA to just off the Carolina coast. This frontal low is
    forecast to continue eastward today, weakening as it progresses
    across far southern GA and eventually becomes absorbed into a broad
    surface trough extending from the Carolinas.

    Some deeper convection has been noted throughout the night within
    the confined warm sector preceding this surface low as initially
    more cellular activity has now congealed into more of a cluster.
    Showers and occasional deeper updrafts capable of producing
    lightning will remain possible ahead of the surface low as it moves
    eastward. However, the overall intensity and duration of any deeper
    updrafts will be tempered by limited buoyancy and a lack of stronger large-scale ascent. Even so, wind fields will remain strong and the
    potential for a damaging gust and/or brief tornado will persist,
    particularly with any of the more cellular convection that develops.

    ...Outer Banks...
    A secondary surface low is beginning to develop just off the SC
    coast. This low is expected to deepen throughout the day while
    moving quickly northward along the immediate coast of NC before
    becoming firmly offshore off the northern Mid-Atlantic. This track
    should keep any notable surface-based buoyancy well offshore, where
    the overall environment will favor supercells. A strong storm or two
    may approach the Outer Banks region, where dewpoints could approach
    the mid 60s just ahead of the surface low, but the general
    expectation is for any strong to severe storms to remain offshore.

    ...Northeast FL...
    A large upper trough is spreading across the eastern states today,
    with a strong cold front extending across southeast GA and northern
    FL. Scattered showers and a occasional thunderstorms have been
    occurring along the front, in a moist and marginally unstable air
    mass. While a strong storms cannot be completely ruled out late
    this morning across northeast FL, the area of concern is small
    enough and convective trends are weak enough to suggest the risk is
    less than 5%.

    ...Outer Banks NC...
    A surface low has formed along the cold front sweeping eastward
    across eastern NC. This is aiding the creation of favorable
    low-level shear profiles from the Outer Banks eastward/offshore.
    Radar imagery suggests several rotating storms offshore, and this
    trend will continue. Present indications are that the risk of
    severe weather will also remain just east of the coast, so no
    probabilities have been added.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms will be possible this evening into tonight across the

    ...DISCUSSION...
    At mid-levels today, a trough will dig south-southeastward into the
    Desert Southwest, as flow becomes west-southwesterly across much of
    the southern U.S. In response, moisture advection will take place
    across the western Gulf Coast states. By mid to late evening,
    surface dewpoints are expected to reach the middle to upper 60s F
    along parts of the Texas Coast. This will result in an increase in
    instability supporting isolated to scattered thunderstorm
    development. As warm advection continues into the overnight period,
    a gradual increase in convective coverage should occur, mainly
    offshore where instability and low-level flow are forecast to be
    stronger. Due to this, some cell organization could occur just
    offshore from the upper Texas Coast after midnight with a few
    rotating storms possible. Over land, instability is forecast to
    remain relatively weak, which is expected to limit the severe
    potential through daybreak on Thursday.

    Thunderstorms will be possible this evening into tonight across the

    ...East/Southeast TX into Central/Southern LA...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a well-defined southern-stream
    shortwave trough progressing southeastward along the southern CA/NV
    border vicinity. This shortwave is forecast to continue
    southeastward through the Lower CO River Valley region before then
    pivoting more eastward across the Southwest. An extended fetch of
    mid-level southwesterly flow preceding this wave is expected to
    strengthen as it moves across the Southwest. At the same time,
    southerly low-level flow across the western Gulf will strengthen,
    with an attendant increase in warm-air advection from the western
    Gulf across the TX Coast into LA. This warm-air advection will help
    support modest buoyancy atop a shallow stable layer, promoting
    elevated thunderstorms from east/southeast TX into central and
    southern LA.

    Thunderstorm coverage is forecast to quickly increase in the 03Z to
    04Z time frame across southeast TX before spreading eastward and
    northeastward throughout the remainder of the period. Moderate to
    strong southwesterly mid-level flow will extend across this entire
    region, supporting strong deep-layer shear. This strong shear could
    support some occasionally stronger/more organized updrafts capable
    of small hail. Even so, weak buoyancy should limit updraft strength
    and duration, keeping any hail threat minimal. Mid 60s dewpoints may
    advect onto the immediate middle and upper TX coast as a weak
    surface low moves northeastward through the region. However, even
    with these higher dewpoints, surface-based convective inhibition
    will likely prevail given deep warm layer anticipated. This should
    keep the tornado potential very low, despite substantial low-level storm-relative helicity.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms will be possible this evening into tonight across the
    western Gulf Coast states. Severe storms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level wave traversing the Four Corners region as of
    mid-morning is forecast to move eastward into the southern Plains
    through early Thursday morning. West/southwesterly mid-level flow
    will steadily increase to around 50-60 knots as the wave approaches,
    which will help advect a plume of modestly steep (7 to 7.5 C/km)
    lapse rates out of northern Mexico towards the TX/LA Gulf Coast
    region through tonight. At the surface, a weak surface low noted off
    the south TX coast will gradually intensify and lift northward
    towards the LA coast as broad-scale ascent ahead of the upper wave
    increases later tonight. The combination of increasing ascent and
    steepening lapse rates will support isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms tonight into early Thursday morning for much of the TX
    Coastal Plain and central to southern LA.

    ...Upper TX Gulf Coast to far southwest LA...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along
    the upper TX Gulf Coast around 02-04 UTC tonight as warm advection
    atop a residual frontal boundary increases. Forecast consensus is
    that the surface low will remain off the coast through the forecast
    period, which will limit the potential for surface-based convection.
    However, strong moistening/ascent within the 925-850 mb layer will
    likely support a narrow swath of deep convection along the TX coast
    where MUCAPE may exceed 1000 J/kg. Within this zone, buoyancy
    profiles should be deep enough to realize the favorable kinematic
    environment, which will be characterized by elongated hodographs and
    effective shear of around 50 knots. Destructive storm
    interactions/modes will likely modulate the overall longevity of any
    particular cell, but the sufficient thermodynamic/kinematic
    environment may support a few brief strong/severe storms capable of
    small to severe hail.

    period, which will limit the potential for surface-based convection.
    However, strong moistening/ascent within the 925-850 mb layer will
    likely support a narrow swath of deep convection along the TX coast
    where MUCAPE may exceed 1000 J/kg. Within this zone, buoyancy
    profiles should be deep enough to realize the favorable kinematic
    environment, which will be characterized by elongated hodographs and
    effective shear of around 50 knots. Destructive storm
    interactions/modes will likely modulate the overall longevity of any
    particular cell, but the sufficient thermodynamic/kinematic
    environment may support a few brief strong/severe storms capable of
    small to severe hail.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    UPPER TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA COASTS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A storm with isolated severe hail will be possible tonight along the
    upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts.

    ...Upper Texas and Southwest Louisiana Coasts...
    Water vapor imagery shows a trough over the Desert Southwest with west-southwesterly flow located across much of the southern U.S. At
    the surface, a moist airmass is located over much of the western
    Gulf. The northern edge of the moist airmass impinges the middle
    Texas Coast, and model forecasts suggest that the airmass will
    gradually shift northeastward along the upper Texas into far
    southwest Louisiana. Although warm-advection-related thunderstorms
    will be mostly concentrated offshore, an isolated strong storm with
    hail potential could develop in far southeast Texas or far southwest
    Louisiana from late evening into the overnight period.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Across the U.S. today, mid-level flow will remain northwesterly in
    the western states as a trough moves through the Great Plains. West-southwesterly flow aloft will be in place across the Southeast.
    At the surface, a moist airmass will be located over the western and
    central Gulf. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible
    along the northern edge of the moist airmass along parts of the
    western and central Gulf Coast, and further north into the lower
    Sabine and lower Mississippi River Valleys. Low-level moisture and
    instability is expected to be insufficient for severe storms.
    Elsewhere across the continental U.S., thunderstorms are not
    forecast today or tonight.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not forecast in the U.S. today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a southern-stream shortwave
    trough moving through NM, preceded by a extensive fetch of
    southwesterly flow aloft from the eastern Pacific across the
    southern Plains and Lower/Mid MS Valley. More confluent,
    single-stream, moderate to strong mid-level flow exists across the
    eastern CONUS. The NM shortwave is forecast to progress
    northeastward, loosing amplitude as it moves into the more confluent
    flow from the Plains eastward. This shortwave will be displaced well
    north of any notable low-level moisture.

    Recent surface analysis places a low just off the southeast TX
    Coast, with a warm front extending eastward from this low along the
    LA coast before pivoting more southeastward into more of central
    Gulf. Warm-air advection amid this frontal zone is contributing to a
    broad precipitation shield, with a few deeper embedded updrafts
    producing lightning, from the Lower MS Valley into southern MS/AL
    and the FL Panhandle.

    The surface low is forecast to progress eastward along the warm
    front throughout the day, with the warm-air advection showers and
    thunderstorms progressing eastward as well. The strongest updrafts
    are expected to remain within the southern periphery of this
    precipitation shield, largely over the coastal portions of LA, MS,
    and AL where modest elevated buoyancy is anticipated. Surface-based
    buoyancy, supported by mid/upper 60s dewpoints, may develop across
    far southeast LA, with an associated threat for a few stronger, more
    organized storms. However, localized and brief character of this
    threat precludes the need for any severe probabilities. Isolated
    thunderstorms could persist into the evening across southern LA as a
    cold front moves through, but buoyancy will remain limited with no
    severe thunderstorms expected.

    16 UTC surface observations along the Gulf Coast show a stalling

    Gulf Coast. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are ongoing along
    and north of this boundary as modest isentropic ascent within the
    925-850 mb layer continues ahead of a low-amplitude upper wave
    currently over the central Plains. The combination of diabatic
    cooling and building surface high pressure to the north of the
    boundary should keep the frontal boundary, and any surface-based
    buoyancy, offshore through much of the forecast period. While
    elevated thunderstorms will likely continue across the central Gulf
    Coast region through the day and into tonight, buoyancy profiles
    will remain too limited to support robust convection. Sporadic
    lightning strikes are noted across the Texarkana region, but latest
    forecast soundings suggest that EL levels should remain near or
    below -20 C, which limits confidence in lightning production beyond

    Low-amplitude short-wave trough is advancing east-northeast across

    are generating a few flashes of lightning. Surface-based buoyancy is
    not expected to materialize inland through sunrise, and any
    thunderstorm activity near the Gulf Coast will be driven in large

    ...Southeast...

    Large-scale pattern is not expected to change appreciably over the
    next 24hr as strong west-southwesterly flow will extend across the
    Gulf States. Broad weak height falls are expected across much of the central/eastern CONUS as the mean upper trough position should
    remain centered over the MS Valley. Given this flow regime, surface
    cold front over GA/AL/FL Panhandle is expected to advance slowly
    into the northern FL Peninsula where it will encounter somewhat
    higher moisture content. Even so, convection is expected to struggle
    to develop ahead of the wind shift, so the primary concern for
    lighting will be with post frontal elevated convection. Forecast
    soundings do not exhibit appreciable instability across this region,
    and the midlevel lapse rates are not particularly steep. At this
    time it appears the risk of severe is too marginal to warrant severe probabilities.

    Enhanced west-southwesterly mid-level flow will persist across the
    Southeast today, as large-scale upper troughing over the
    central/eastern CONUS is further reinforced by multiple shortwave
    troughs advancing east-southeastward. At the surface, a cold front
    will slowly sag southeastward over south GA/north FL through the
    period. Generally elevated thunderstorms may occur today along/north
    of the front. But with poor mid-level lapse rates present, weak
    low-level convergence due to veered southwesterly low-level winds,
    and limited instability forecast, the chance for sustained
    surface-based convection and related severe potential appears low.

    Mean long-wave trough is expected to remain centered across the

    changes are expected across lower latitudes which will result in a
    synoptic front oscillating across the northern/central FL Peninsula.
    This boundary will serve as the primary focus for the potential for
    isolated thunderstorm development. Latest model guidance is not
    particularly aggressive in air mass destabilization across the
    Peninsula, but showers and a few thunderstorms should develop
    along/north of the boundary as deep westerly flow provides weak lift
    atop the frontal zone. While deep-layer shear is strong, weak
    buoyancy and poor lapse rates do not support robust or organized
    severe updrafts.

    Broadly cyclonic flow will be maintained over much of the central

    front extending from the Gulf northeastward across the central FL
    Peninsula and into the western Atlantic. Large-scale ascent and
    low-level convergence along this boundary are both forecast to
    remain weak, with poor lapse rates aloft also contributing to
    limited instability over land. While an occasional shower may reach
    sufficient height to support charge separation and lightning across
    parts of the central FL Peninsula, the overall coverage of
    thunderstorms over land should remain quite isolated.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

    ...Synopsis...
    A progressive flow pattern will remain over the Lower 48 states
    today. In the low levels, a front will reside over the Gulf and
    extend east-northeastward across the northern half of the FL
    Peninsula and east of the Carolina coast. The 12 UTC Tampa, FL raob
    showed poor lapse rates. Limited buoyancy coupled with
    weak/negligible low-level convergence/large-scale ascent will act to
    limit convective coverage and intensity across the central FL
    Peninsula today.

    Recent TAMDAR sounding data from the Florida Peninsula show very

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible near a portion of the north-central/northeast Gulf Coast during the early morning Sunday.

    Conditions will be too dry/stable for appreciable
    lightning-producing convection across much of the CONUS through the
    period. However, elevated thunderstorms are expected to commence
    across the north-central to northeast Gulf Coast overnight. Some of

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FL
    PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado or two are possible,
    mainly across central Florida during the late afternoon and evening.

    ...FL Peninsula...
    Abundant convective development is expected later this morning
    across the north-central to northeast Gulf along a largely
    west/east-oriented quasi-stationary front. Downstream
    cloudiness/rain along/north of the front will support pronounced
    differential boundary-layer heating across it, from central to north
    FL. With most guidance indicating potential for an MCV to evolve
    from the morning convection, within the broadly cyclonic mid-level
    flow regime across the Southeast, it is plausible that convection
    may strengthen along the baroclinic zone towards peak heating. Weak
    mid-level lapse rates will remain a key limiting factor to
    convective intensity. But adequate deep-layer shear will exist for
    transient mid-level rotation. With a warm boundary layer anticipated
    across central to south FL, a few strong gusts capable of localized
    damaging winds are possible. While the 00Z NAM appears to be an
    aggressive outlier with stronger low-level mass response, expected
    modest low-level SRH may be sufficient for a brief tornado or two.

    Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado or two are possible

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Thunderstorms will develop today across the north-central to
    northeast Gulf along a largely west-east oriented front. Downstream cloudiness/precipitation along and north of the front will support
    pronounced differential heating across the north-central FL
    Peninsula. Latest guidance continues to suggest that scattered
    convection will move onshore late this afternoon/early evening
    within broadly cyclonic flow aloft over the Southeast. Poor
    mid-level lapse rates will be a limiting factor to convective
    intensity (reference 12Z sounding from TBW). But, adequate
    deep-layer shear will exist for transient mid-level rotation. With a
    warm boundary layer forecast across central FL, a few strong gusts
    capable of localized damaging winds are possible. Modest low-level
    shear/SRH may also be sufficient for a brief tornado or two.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE CENTRAL
    PORTION OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado are possible across
    parts of the Florida Peninsula beginning late this afternoon through
    the evening.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Late morning radar/satellite composite shows a rain shield and
    embedded convection along a west-east oriented, southward-sagging
    front over the north-central Gulf. This rain activity is possibly
    the result of a weak disturbance moving eastward across the northern
    Gulf of America within the base of a larger-scale mean trough over
    the central and eastern part of North America. This disturbance is
    forecast to move into north FL late today and east of the FL/GA
    coasts by mid-late evening.

    Considerable cloudiness will likely persist near/north of I-4 and
    combine with meager low to mid tropospheric lapse rates to thereby
    limit destabilization. However, a seasonably moist airmass will
    probably yield a few hundred J/kg MLCAPE prior to an increasing
    prevalence of showers/thunderstorms moving east from the Gulf into
    the west/northern portions of the Peninsula towards late this
    afternoon and evening. Ample mid- to high-level flow will support
    storm-scale rotation contingent on a sufficiently strong updraft or
    two developing within this zone of convection. The risk for
    localized strong/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado may
    accompany the strongest storms, mainly during the 22-08 UTC period,
    as this threat shifts from northwest to south across the Peninsula.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
    SOUTH-CENTRAL FL PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A brief tornado and locally strong gusts remain possible, mainly
    through late evening across the south-central portion of the Florida
    Peninsula.

    ...South-central FL...
    A convectively reinforced front has been sagging south across
    central FL over the past couple hours. The bulk of convection has
    weakened as it spread across the peninsula, with deeper/renewed
    updrafts holding off the Gulf Coast, southwest of Tampa Bay to west
    of Fort Myers. 23Z XMR and 00Z TBW soundings sampled less-than-moist
    adiabatic lapse rates through much of the troposphere, which will
    remain a limiting factor to intensification of convection over land.
    But strong deep-layer shear (effective bulk values in excess of 50
    kts) and moderate low-level hodograph enhancement will maintain a low-probability tornado and strong wind gust threat through late
    evening. This may be focused near the juncture of the eastern Gulf
    convection with the undercutting boundary. With only minor
    large-scale ascent, offshore convection should wane overnight and
    severe potential across the peninsula should diminish. See MCD 2253
    for additional short-term discussion.

    ...South FL...
    With a broad upper trough remaining anchored across the East, an
    embedded shortwave impulse will progress across the southern
    Appalachians to coastal VA/NC by evening. A surface cold front will
    sag south across the remainder of the FL Peninsula. In the wake of
    decaying morning convection, adequate boundary-layer heating will be
    necessary for redevelopment of midday to afternoon storms along the
    front. Large-scale ascent, outside of low-level convergence
    attendant to the front, appears nebulous with the region
    well-removed from influence of the VA/NC impulse. This combined with persistently weak mid-level lapse rates should limit convective
    vigor. But a locally strong gust or two might occur until the front
    progresses into the FL Straits.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A progressive upper pattern will persist today with a pair of
    shortwave troughs, one currently moving towards the central
    Appalachians and the other moving towards the Four Corners and
    central Rockies, continuing eastward/southeastward as another pair
    of shortwave troughs drop into the northern Plains and Upper
    Midwest. At the surface, high pressure will continue to shift eastward/southeastward over more of the eastern CONUS while a low,
    currently in the western Atlantic off the SC coast, progresses
    northeastward.

    A cold front extends southwestward from the western Atlantic surface
    low through central FL, which is the only area across the entire
    CONUS with any notable low-level moisture. Dewpoints over south FL
    preceding this front are currently in the low 70s, and mesoanalysis
    indicates modest buoyancy over the region. Convergence along the
    front will be modest and much of the large-scale ascent will be
    displaced north and east of this region, but isolated showers and
    thunderstorms are still expected this afternoon and evening.
    Moderate deep-layer vertical shear is in place, and there is a very-low-probability risk for a damaging gust or two. However,
    limited updraft depth and/or persistence should mitigate the overall
    severe potential.

    Thunderstorm potential appears negligible today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Conditions will be too dry/stable for lightning-producing convection
    across the CONUS through the period. Isolated thunderstorms are
    possible today across the FL Straits near a quasi-stationary front
    that progressed offshore of the FL Peninsula/Keys on Monday.

    A cold front has settled southward while decelerating over the FL
    Straits this morning. Appreciable low-level moisture to support
    thunderstorms is expected to remain along/south of this boundary,
    with little potential for convection over land through tonight.

    Upper pattern will remain active today/tonight as a low-amplitude
    shortwave trough progresses quickly eastward through the OH Valley
    ahead of a more substantial shortwave trough moving southeastward
    out of the Canadian Prairies and through the northern Plains and
    Upper Midwest. By 12Z Wednesday, this second shortwave will likely
    extend from the Lake Michigan vicinity southwestward into northeast KS/northwest MO.

    Progression of this second shortwave will reinforce the already dry
    and stable airmass in place across much of CONUS, precluding
    thunderstorms. Some modest moisture return is anticipated late
    tonight/early tomorrow across the western Gulf, but much of this
    moisture will remain offshore. Some low-level moisture also remains
    in place across south FL, even in the wake of the cold front now
    settled across the Florida Straits. Even with this low-level
    moisture still in place, modest and shallow buoyancy, and limited
    forcing for ascent should preclude thunderstorms across south FL
    today.

    ...Discussion...
    A fast moving surface low, associated with a strong mid-level jet
    streak, will continue to move east-southeastward toward the western
    Great Lakes this evening. Forecast soundings show some very weak
    elevated instability within the warm sector, but it does not appear
    instability will be deep enough for sufficient charge separation for
    any thunderstorm activity. Elsewhere in the CONUS, thunderstorm
    activity will be minimal without significant instability in place.
    Some lightning has occurred south of the Florida Keys, in the
    vicinity of the stalled surface front. However, the lightning
    activity has remained well offshore and is expected to remain so.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms appears low today.

    ...Synopsis...
    The large-scale pattern will feature a ridge across the western
    CONUS with a trough across the east. A surface low will deepen below
    990mb as it moves from the southern Great Lakes to the Northeast
    during the period. A cold front will extend southwest from this
    surface low and bring a reinforcing cold/dry airmass to much of the
    central and eastern CONUS.

    Significant moisture (60F dewpoints) will be relegated to far south
    Florida. However, even here, northerly flow should persist within
    the post frontal airmass. This should keep any thunderstorm
    potential well offshore. A brief period of southerly return flow
    across the western Gulf may bring some near 60F dewpoints to the
    Texas coast, but this should be short-lived as a reinforcing cold
    front moves offshore this evening.

    Thunderstorms are not expected across the CONUS today.

    A shortwave trough, and accompanying intense jet streak with 500 mb
    winds over 100 kt, will continue eastward through the OH Valley

    associated with this wave will progress northeastward from its

    extending southeastward from this low will push quickly
    eastward/southeastward through the southern Plains and much of the
    eastern CONUS, ending the period well off the East Coast.

    Passage of this cold front will reinforce the dry and stable
    conditions across the majority of the CONUS, precluding
    thunderstorms. Modest low-level moisture will remain over
    central/southern FL throughout the day, but warm low to mid-level

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. today or tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Cold/continental trajectories especially east of the Rockies will
    generally preclude thunderstorm development. Regarding a potential
    exception, gradual low-level moisture return will continue to occur
    over the western Gulf toward coastal Texas ahead of a low-latitude
    trough over northern Mexico. Convection will probably develop and
    increase late tonight over the western Gulf, but modest forcing for
    ascent and marginal thermodynamic profiles aloft should limit
    thunderstorm potential over inland areas of Texas.

    Morning water-vapor imagery indicates an upper-level jet streak
    moving eastward across northern MX. The core of this feature will
    advance into the western Gulf tonight -- remaining south of TX. In
    response, a modest increase in southerly low-level flow will deepen boundary-layer moisture/erode inhibition and yield weak
    surface-based buoyancy over the western Gulf and Lower TX Coast
    overnight. While most deep convection should be confined to the
    higher low-level theta-e plume offshore, strengthening coastal
    convergence amid the deepening low-level moisture may support a
    couple storms over the immediate coastal areas in the 08-12Z time
    frame. A remnant warm layer aloft and weak low/mid-level flow should
    limit updraft intensity over land areas.

    ...01z Update...

    Low-amplitude short-wave trough is embedded within the southern
    stream over deep South TX. This feature is shearing east toward the northwestern Gulf basin where it is expected to encourage isolated
    thunderstorm development, primarily off the south TX Coast later
    tonight. 00z sounding from BRO was notably capped with strong
    inhibition around 2km. Latest model guidance suggests inhibition
    will gradually weaken which may allow isolated offshore convection
    to gradually approach the coast later tonight. Even so, this
    activity should remain weak with the greater concentration holding
    offshore.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated weak thunderstorm activity is possible across portions of
    the Texas and Louisiana coasts, as well as South Florida and the
    Keys this afternoon into Saturday night.

    ...Discussion...

    Strong midlevel height falls will spread across the Ohio
    Valley/Middle Atlantic during the day1 period as a pronounced upper
    trough digs across the Great Lakes/OH Valley. This evolution
    warrants surface pressures rising across the interior CONUS east of
    the Rockies, ultimately forcing a cold front toward the upper TX/LA
    Coast by the end of the period. Prior to the frontal passage, weak
    low-level warm advection will aid some convective threat due in part
    to the influence of a low-amplitude short-wave trough that will
    eject across the western Gulf basin. Otherwise, lightning may
    accompany frontal convection as the wind shift surges into this
    region. In addition to isolated thunderstorms across the upper
    TX/LA Coasts, moisture/buoyancy is expected to gradually advance
    north across the FL Keys into the southern FL Peninsula. Weak
    disturbance should encourage isolated thunderstorm development
    across this region as well. In both scenarios, severe threat appears negligible.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Large-scale trough amplification will occur over the Midwest/East
    through tonight, with expanding surface high pressure across the
    Plains and Midwest in the wake of a cold front progressing
    south-southeastward toward the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf
    Coast by late tonight and early Sunday. Preceding the front, weak
    warm/moist advection should allow for northeastward-expanding
    thunderstorm development across southeast Texas and Louisiana today,
    with potential persisting until the frontal passage tonight.

    A low-latitude disturbance crossing the Gulf and a northward
    moisture flux ahead of it will contribute to thunderstorm potential
    across the Florida Keys/Florida Straits today, and also across the
    southern Florida Peninsula tonight. Severe thunderstorms are
    unlikely with these scenarios.

    Surface front has surged into central TX, arcing across northern LA

    convection, but profiles do not favor particularly robust
    thunderstorms and severe is not anticipated.

    Scattered-numerous thunderstorm clusters are currently noted across
    the FL Straits within a seasonally high PW air mass characterized by
    weak buoyancy. Early-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a notable
    short-wave trough over the eastern Gulf Basin. This feature should
    continue to support convection across the Straits and the southern
    FL Peninsula tonight.

    Thunderstorm probabilities are low today.

    ...Pacific Northwest...

    100+kt 500mb speed max is forecast to translate inland along the
    WA/OR coast around 16/00z. Low-amplitude short-wave trough will
    induce strong height falls near the international border ahead of
    this feature, coincident with a notable surface front that will
    surge inland after 21z. While profiles will cool and steepen at
    midlevels, forecast soundings are not particularly buoyant either
    side of the trough, and the prospect for deep convection capable of
    generating lightning appears low. While the thunderstorm potential
    appears low, weak midlevel convection is possible and a flash or two
    can not be ruled out. This, however, does not warrant a categorical
    risk for thunderstorms during the day1 period.

    ...Discussion...
    A progressive shortwave trough and a 100+ kt mid-level speed max
    will progress eastward and inland across Washington/British Columbia
    by later this afternoon and evening. A few lightning flashes could
    occur for coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest relatively early
    today via weak elevated buoyancy within the warm conveyor preceding
    the shortwave trough/cold front. Mid-level temperatures will
    subsequently cool in the post-frontal environment, but the potential
    for sufficiently deep convection through lightning-conducive levels/temperatures should remain marginal later today, thus
    limiting thunderstorm potential.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast tonight.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    Thunderstorms earlier this afternoon over southwest OR have fully
    decayed in the past couple hours. A lone storm or two will be
    possible tonight within the persistent, but modest low-level warm
    conveyor that will shift farther inland to the northern Rockies.
    With flimsy elevated buoyancy expected (MUCAPE at or below 100
    J/kg), overall thunderstorm probabilities appear negligible.

    A few lightning flashes were also detected in the last hour across
    northwest WA near a shortwave trough, that will rapidly progress
    east across far southern AB/SK tonight. This thunder threat is
    expected to remain very isolated and diminish east of the Cascades.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Sporadic severe gusts may accompany isolated thunderstorms across
    parts of the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday night.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    A vigorous shortwave trough will approach the Pacific Northwest
    coast through tonight before shifting inland over WA during the
    early morning Wednesday. A deepening surface cyclone will move
    across southern BC towards southwest AB, with a Pacific cold front
    trailing south-southwestward. Low-topped convection is expected to
    accompany the front, initially approaching the WA coast by late
    evening. Surface-based buoyancy will remain meager, but strong
    gradient winds will shift from the southwest to west-northwest as
    the front passes. Sporadic lightning flashes and strong to severe
    gusts may accompany passage of this low-topped squall before it
    subsides inland in western WA/OR.

    Intense lower-level flow will likely peak in the overnight to early
    morning hours. Buoyancy should remain quite limited along and east
    of the Cascades, but most guidance indicates broken low-topped
    convection should spread east along/ahead of the front amid
    pronounced large-scale ascent. Background gradient winds will likely
    be capable of producing severe gusts, and some of these may be
    coincident with sporadic lightning flashes.

    Sporadic severe wind gusts may accompany low-topped convection
    across parts of the Pacific Northwest tonight into early Wednesday
    morning.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    A strong mid-level shortwave trough over the eastern Pacific will
    amplify today and reach the coastal Pacific Northwest late tonight.
    This trough will be accompanied by an enhanced deep-layer wind
    field, with 90-100+ kt winds at 500 mb and around 50-80 kt flow in
    the lowest 1-3 km AGL. Low-level moisture should also gradually
    increase tonight ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front.
    Low-topped convection may accompany the front, initially approaching
    the WA Coast by late evening, and then more interior areas
    overnight/early Wednesday.

    Surface-based buoyancy will remain quite meager due to poor lapse
    rates aloft and the time of night. Still, rather strong low-level
    gradient winds will shift from the southwest to west-northwest as
    the front passes. Sporadic lightning flashes and occasional strong
    to severe-caliber wind gusts may accompany the passage of this
    low-topped convective line, with the most intense low-level
    winds/convective influences expected to peak during the overnight
    and early morning hours Wednesday. However, it remains quite
    uncertain if these convectively enhanced winds will be substantially
    stronger than the background gradient wind field. Therefore, the
    Marginal Risk has been maintained with no changes.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    A vigorous shortwave trough will reach coastal WA by late tonight
    and spread inland through 12Z Wednesday. This trough will be
    accompanied by an intense tropospheric wind field, characterized by
    70-90 kts at 700 mb, that will spread across WA and OR during
    06-12Z. A surface cyclone will move onshore in BC and occlude, as
    downstream lee cyclogenesis occurs over southern AB.

    Low-topped convection is expected to increase along the trailing
    cold front attendant to the occluded cyclone, initially reaching
    coastal WA towards 06Z. Surface-based buoyancy will be scant along
    the front, but sporadic lightning flashes and occasional strong to severe-caliber wind gusts may accompany the passage of this
    low-topped convective line. Low-topped convection should also
    increase ahead of this line overnight, as strong large-scale ascent
    coincides with peak low to mid-level flow. With minimal instability,
    low confidence exists in the degree of convective enhancement beyond
    the gradient winds. Thus, the level 1-MRGL risk has been maintained
    with no changes.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Sporadic severe gusts may accompany low-topped convection across
    parts of the Northwest this morning into midday.

    ...Northwest...
    A vigorous shortwave trough will move quickly east along the
    Canadian border from WA to the northern Great Plains by evening.
    Intense tropospheric flow will accompany this wave, yielding
    widespread high winds across much of the Northwest to the northern
    Great Plains. Deep lee surface cyclone over southern AB should reach
    the Red River Valley of the North. Attendant Pacific cold front will
    sweep east with a tight pressure gradient in its wake.

    Low-topped convection may be ongoing at 12Z along the Columbia Basin
    portion of the front. Most guidance also suggests an increase in
    low-topped convection should occur towards late morning across parts
    of the Snake River Plain as the front pushes east. Surface-based
    instability will remain scant in both regimes with morning
    temperatures in the 40s to low 50s. Despite the cool temperatures,
    this may be sufficient for sporadic lightning flashes amid strong
    large-scale ascent. With very strong surface winds accompanying the
    front, both regimes could be coincident with severe wind gusts.

    The bulk of sustained severe wind speeds should become primarily
    confined along/east of the Rockies in MT to the CO Front Range this
    afternoon per HREF/REFS guidance. However, potential for severe
    convective gusts appears too conditional with negligible
    surface-based buoyancy anticipated.

    While strong to locally severe winds may occur with low-topped
    convection through early afternoon across parts of southern Idaho
    and northern Utah, the overall threat for organized severe
    thunderstorms appears low.

    ...Interior Northwest and Northern Great Basin/Rockies...
    A powerful mid-level shortwave trough and associated sub-980 mb
    surface low will move quickly eastward today across the interior Northwest/northern Rockies and adjacent western Canada. A strong
    surface cold front will likewise translate east-southeastward over
    the northern Intermountain/Great Basin region late this morning into
    the afternoon. Widespread cloud cover remains prevalent ahead of the
    front across southern ID into northern UT and vicinity, with cool
    surface temperatures and very limited low-level moisture also
    present. MUCAPE is expected to remain only barely sufficient to
    support convection. But, given the enhanced flow at low levels noted
    on recent VWPs from KCBX/KSFX, it is not entirely out of the
    question that convectively augmented gusts may exceed the already
    strong background gradient winds on a localized basis. The Marginal
    Risk has therefore been maintained for parts of southern ID/northern
    UT and vicinity, even though the overall threat for organized severe thunderstorms will remain low.

    front across southern ID into northern UT and vicinity, with cool
    surface temperatures and very limited low-level moisture also
    present. MUCAPE is expected to remain only barely sufficient to
    support convection. But, given the enhanced flow at low levels noted
    on recent VWPs from KCBX/KSFX, it is not entirely out of the
    question that convectively augmented gusts may exceed the already
    strong background gradient winds on a localized basis. The Marginal
    Risk has therefore been maintained for parts of southern ID/northern
    UT and vicinity, even though the overall threat for organized severe thunderstorms will remain low.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible along portions of the TX/LA Gulf
    coasts tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Weak, southern-stream short-wave trough is advancing off the south
    TX coast early this evening. A few thunderstorms linger near the
    center of a weak midlevel circulation around the Corpus Christi
    region; however, the most concentrated deep convection is now
    focused offshore and should continue to be shunted east ahead of the
    short wave.

    Isolated thunderstorms may eventually develop ahead of this feature
    downstream across southeast LA later tonight, but negligible
    buoyancy currently exists on the 00z sounding from LIX. By the end
    of the period, adequate destabilization should materialize across
    this region such that lightning is possible with deep convection,
    primarily after 08-09z.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe potential will be limited today, but isolated strong wind
    gusts are possible across portions of the Lower Ohio and Tennessee
    Valleys.

    ...Lower Ohio/TN Valleys...

    Strong midlevel trough is advancing quickly across the
    northern/central High Plains late this evening. This feature is
    forecast to progress into the MS Valley by late afternoon then eject negative-tilt into the OH Valley during the overnight period.
    Intense 12hr height falls, on the order of 210m, will spread across
    the OH Valley and this is expected to aid large-scale forcing along
    a sharp cold front that will surge into IN/KY/TN by 19/00z. Poor destabilization is expected ahead of the front and forecast
    soundings exhibit meager instability, and this is mostly with an
    elevated parcel. While buoyancy will be weak, a strongly forced band
    of frontal convection is expected to develop and spread east. Given
    the level of parcel ascent, current thinking is a stable boundary
    layer will minimize the risk of severe gusts near the surface. Even
    so, isolated strong winds may accompany some portions of the
    convective line, but the risk of severe gusts in excess of 50kt
    appears too low to warrant a MRGL risk at this time.

    ...SUMMARY...
    While organized severe potential may be limited today, isolated
    strong wind gusts may occur across portions of the Lower Ohio and
    Tennessee Valleys this afternoon and evening and/or across the
    Carolinas late tonight.

    ...Tennessee Valley/Lower Ohio Valley...
    A prominent upper-level trough centered over the northern
    Plains/Upper Midwest early this morning will continue to amplify and
    spread east-southeastward, taking on a more negative tilt tonight
    over the Midwest/Cumberland Plateau with intense 12-hr height falls
    on the order of 210m. A robust low/mid-level wind field will
    accompany this trough, especially into tonight with 60-80 kt winds
    within the lowest 1-3km AGL coincident with the modifying warm
    sector. But, only limited destabilization is expected ahead of the
    front, with forecast soundings generally exhibiting meager
    instability. While buoyancy will be weak, a strongly forced band of
    frontal convection is expected to develop and spread eastward later
    this afternoon into evening. Current thinking is a stable boundary
    layer will minimize the risk of severe wind gusts near the surface,
    but somewhat taller/more sustained storms could occur across the
    Tennessee Valley including Middle/eastern Tennessee and much of
    Alabama into parts of Georgia, with at least some convectively
    enhanced wind gust potential, possibly to near-severe levels.

    ...Carolinas...
    Some strong/locally severe storms could occur late tonight through
    the predawn/early morning hours of Friday, attributable to an
    increasingly negative-tilt upper-level trough and a related robust strengthening of the deep-layer wind field. The abatement and
    modification of continental/cold air inland is a key uncertainty,
    and some guidance such as 00z/06z NAM, may be a bit too aggressive,
    albeit modest/weak overall, regarding late-night near-surface-based destabilization. Primary concern is for the immediate coastal
    areas/Outer Banks where somewhat greater airmass
    modification/low-level moistening is more plausible. But it is also
    possible that convectively enhanced wind gusts materialize inland
    (including Piedmont areas) in the predawn hours..

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing
    occasional damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two may occur
    through this evening across parts of the lower/mid Mississippi
    Valley into the Tennessee Valley/Southeast, and late tonight across
    portions of coastal North Carolina.

    ...Tennessee Valley/Lower Ohio Valley into the Southeast...
    A pronounced mid/upper-level shortwave trough with attendant 70-90
    kt mid-level jet will advance quickly eastward today across the
    Upper Midwest into the MS/OH/TN Valleys. An associated deep surface
    low over northern MN this morning is forecast to continue developing northeastward into Ontario/Quebec through tonight, with a trailing
    cold front forecast to sweep east-southeastward over much of the
    mid/lower MS Valley into the OH/TN Valleys and Southeast. Low-level
    moisture return ahead of the cold front remains quite limited,
    except for parts of MS/AL where low to mid 60s surface dewpoints are
    beginning to spread inland. Even so, wind fields remain quite
    favorable for thunderstorm organization, with ample low-level and
    deep-layer shear present. Current expectations are for a low-topped
    line of convection to further develop along the cold front through
    this afternoon/evening. Although instability is expected to remain
    minimal with northward extent into the OH/TN Valleys, there is still
    potential for strong to severe gusts that will be convectively
    enhanced beyond the already strong background gradient wind field.
    Some chance for a tornado may also exist across parts of MS/AL where
    greater instability/low-level moisture will reside. Given latest
    observational and guidance trends, a Marginal Risk has been included
    where the best potential for occasional strong to damaging winds is
    apparent.

    ...Coastal North Carolina...
    Isolated strong to locally severe convection may occur late tonight
    through early Friday morning as an increasingly negative-tilt
    mid-level trough and a related robust strengthening of the
    deep-layer wind field approach eastern NC. The gradual modification
    and erosion of continental/cold air is a key uncertainty due to
    persistent surface high pressure along the East Coast into western
    Atlantic. Some guidance such as the 12Z NAM may be a bit too
    aggressive regarding late-night near-surface-based destabilization.
    Still, the main area of concern is for the immediate NC coastal
    areas/Outer Banks, where somewhat greater airmass
    modification/low-level moistening should occur amid strong low-level
    and deep-layer shear. If surface-based thunderstorms can form and
    spread northeastward across this area, they could pose a threat for
    isolated severe/damaging winds and perhaps a tornado. But, it is
    also possible that convectively enhanced wind gusts materialize
    inland (including Piedmont areas) in the predawn hours, although
    confidence in this occurring remains low.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MS/TN/OH VALLEYS INTO THE SOUTHEAST...AND ALSO ACROSS COASTAL
    NC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing
    occasional damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two may occur
    through this evening across parts of the lower/mid Mississippi
    Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys and Southeast, and late
    tonight across portions of coastal North Carolina.

    ...MS/OH/TN Valleys into the Southeast...
    The primary changes to the Marginal Risk have been to clear areas
    behind the low-topped convective line and cold front, and to expand northeastward somewhat based on where recent HRRR/RRFS guidance
    maintains a low-topped but well-defined frontal band with potential
    for localized strong/damaging gusts.

    A line of low-topped convection has developed along a cold front and
    is moving eastward across parts of IL and southeast MO this
    afternoon. Despite very weak to negligible buoyancy, very strong
    low-level flow/shear (with 50+ kt at 1 km AGL per regional VWPs) has
    supported occasional gusts of 40-55 mph and isolated wind-damage
    reports along this line. Forcing related to a strong mid/upper-level
    shortwave trough moving quickly eastward across the region will help
    to sustain a low-topped frontal band into this evening, which may be
    capable of producing sporadic strong/damaging gusts into parts of
    the Ohio Valley.

    Recent HRRR/RRFS runs suggest that gusty winds associated with the
    frontal band may spread across parts of the Allegheny Plateau
    overnight, but with essentially nil buoyancy expected in this area,
    confidence is currently too low to expand wind probabilities into
    this area.

    Farther south into parts of TN/MS/AL, somewhat greater (though still
    weak) buoyancy will be in place later this afternoon into the early
    evening, as 60s F dewpoints spread northward to near the TN/MS/AL
    border region. A broken band of storms may develop in advance of the
    front, with potential for at least marginal supercell structures and
    an attendant threat of isolated damaging wind and possibly a
    tornado. Any longer-lived cells may tend to merge into the
    eastward-moving frontal band with time, with at least an isolated
    severe threat spreading east across TN through the evening.

    ...Coastal NC...
    No major changes have been made to the Marginal Risk across coastal
    NC. See the previous discussion below for more information.

    ...FL Panhandle vicinity...
    Cells with occasional rotation have been noted offshore of the FL
    Panhandle this afternoon, though temperatures remain relatively cool
    with widespread cloudiness inland. There is some potential for a
    stronger cell or two to eventually approach the coast or develop
    slightly inland, but lingering near-surface stability may tend to
    limit the severe threat across this area.

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing
    occasional damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado or two, remain

    Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys and Southeast, and late

    ...01z Update...

    Strong midlevel trough is advancing across the MS Valley early this
    evening. Associated pronounced surface front has surged into
    southeast MI-western KY-northwest MS. This boundary will shift
    across much of the OH/TN Valleys by late evening as the dynamic
    trough induces strong height falls across this region. Latest radar
    data reflects this with a strongly forced line of frontal
    convection. A few strong gusts have been reported along the northern
    sections of this linear MCS. Of potentially more concern is
    convection that has developed ahead of the front across eastern MS
    into northwest AL. This activity has evolved within a greater
    buoyancy air mass characterized by SBCAPE on the order of 500-1000
    J/kg. Lower 60s surface dew points have contributed to this
    instability and a few supercells have matured and are advancing east
    across Tornado Watch #0642. Greatest risk for organized severe will
    remain focused across the northern Gulf states this evening.
    Damaging winds, along with some tornado risk continues.

    Risk of severe will increase late tonight near the Outer Banks
    region of NC, and for this region will maintain MRGL Risk.

    Isolated damaging winds may accompany convection over the Mid
    Atlantic today.

    ...Mid Atlantic...

    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a notable midlevel trough
    over the MS Valley, shifting east in line with latest model
    guidance. This feature is forecast to take a more negative-tilt
    orientation by late morning as 100+kt 500mb speed max
    develops/translates across the Mid Atlantic by 18z. Impressive 12hr
    height falls at 500mb will overspread the OH Valley into New England
    where values will range from 240-300m in response to this strong
    feature. Needless to say, very strong wind fields will provide
    background support for organized frontal convection. HREF guidance
    is in general agreement that a narrow strongly forced line of
    convection will develop along the surging cold front early in the
    period. Forecast soundings do not exhibit more than weak SBCAPE with
    this frontal convection, but some mixing is expected given that
    0-3km lapse rates should be on the order of 7 C/km. 40kt mean wind
    within this layer is expected to contribute to gusty winds with this
    activity. Have introduced MRGL Risk of damaging winds to account for
    strong gusts with a narrow line of convection that will surge east
    along the front.

    Given the limited buoyancy across southern New England will not
    introduce wind probabilities at this time.

    While strong/gusty winds will continue across the Mid-Atlantic and

    ...Mid-Atlantic/Northeast...
    A pronounced mid/upper-level trough with very strong low/mid-level
    flow will continue moving east-northeastward today across the
    Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Associated surface cold front will
    likewise develop eastward across these regions through the

    loosely organized, low-topped convective line has moved east of NJ,
    and should impact parts of Long Island over the next couple of
    hours. Due to poor lapse rates aloft and limited diurnal heating
    with continued cloud cover, minimal instability is forecast to be in
    place ahead of this line. The threat for strong/gusty winds should
    continue both with gradient winds within the strong low-level warm

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    While strong/gusty winds remain possible across the Mid-Atlantic and
    Northeast this afternoon and evening, the threat for organized
    severe thunderstorms is expected to remain low.

    ...20Z Update...
    Only minor changes have been made to the existing General
    Thunderstorm areas. A band of low-topped convection is moving across
    eastern PA toward northern NJ this afternoon, with sporadic strong
    to severe gusts noted with this feature. Organized convection is not
    expected due to negligible buoyancy, but strong deep-layer winds
    associated with a powerful mid/upper-level trough and attendant cold
    front moving across the eastern CONUS will continue to support
    strong/damaging gusts both near and removed from any remaining
    convection.

    ...Mid-Atlantic/Northeast...
    A pronounced mid/upper-level trough with very strong low/mid-level
    flow will continue moving east-northeastward today across the
    Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Associated surface cold front will
    likewise develop eastward across these regions through the
    afternoon, and will clear the Atlantic Coast by this evening. A
    loosely organized, low-topped convective line has moved east of NJ,
    and should impact parts of Long Island over the next couple of
    hours. Due to poor lapse rates aloft and limited diurnal heating
    with continued cloud cover, minimal instability is forecast to be in
    place ahead of this line. The threat for strong/gusty winds should
    continue both with gradient winds within the strong low-level warm
    advection regime and along/behind the front. But given the poor
    thermodynamic environment and tendency for any additional convection
    to remain elevated, the Marginal Risk across the
    Mid-Atlantic/Northeast has been removed with this update.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough and accompanying surface trough are ejecting into
    the Atlantic, with any available scant buoyancy being displaced east
    of the CONUS. As such, any thunderstorms and accompanying
    thunderstorm wind threat should be ending soon, though damaging
    gusts from gradient flow (non-thunderstorm processes) may persist
    through the evening hours. Elsewhere across the CONUS, a zonal upper
    pattern will be in place, with a few embedded impulses poised to
    traverse the northwestern quadrant of the CONUS over the next few
    hours. Pockets of cooler temperatures aloft with these impulses may
    support just enough buoyancy (however scant) for a few lightning
    flashes across portions of northwestern Wyoming and the Pacific
    Northwest coastline through early tonight.

    Isolated lightning flashes may occur near coastal sections of
    Washington today.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will progress across the eastern CONUS while
    upper ridging builds west of the Rockies, resulting in surface high
    pressure overspreading the Midwest as a surface trough impinges on
    the Pacific Northwest Coastline. Cooler temperatures aloft will
    overspread a marine boundary layer over the Washington coast,
    resulting in scant buoyancy, which may favor a few convective
    updrafts that may deepen enough to produce isolated lightning
    flashes. A weakening surface low will also drift southward across
    the southern Plains, promoting low-level moisture return inland from
    the western Gulf. However, considerable convective inhibition should
    limit convective development through the Day 1 period.

    Progressive/low-amplitude flow aloft will prevail over the CONUS to

    Weak surface front is expected to settle into northern LA, arcing

    western Gulf basin into southern LA tonight where 60s surface dew
    points are expected to hold. However, large-scale forcing is not
    expected to be particularly notable and a fairly strong cap is
    currently noted around 2km on the 00z LCH sounding. Latest model
    guidance suggests this capping will likely persist, but possibly
    weaken toward 12z. If so, a few flashes of lightning may accompany
    weak convection across southern LA.

    Low-amplitude short-wave trough is forecast to approach the Pacific

    spread inland across WA/OR. Latest model guidance suggests weak
    buoyancy will persist much of the period, particularly near the
    coast, where onshore flow will contribute to SBCAPE generally less
    than 100 J/kg. As freezing levels lower, shallow convection may
    penetrate levels necessary for lightning discharge. For these
    reasons will maintain 10% probability for isolated thunderstorms,
    primarily near the coast.

    A progressive/zonal upper-flow pattern will continue over the CONUS.
    A low-amplitude shortwave trough will move inland across the Pacific

    may become sufficient for isolated lightning flashes, particularly
    near the Washington coast. Farther south, a moisture-rich plume and
    a marginally favorable thermodynamic environment may allow for some
    lighting flashes across northern California.

    Elsewhere, a relatively moist airmass near/south of a
    southward-moving front, along with continued weak warm/moist

    mainly across southern portions of Louisiana and Mississippi today.

    A notable short-wave trough is advancing toward the WA/OR coast
    early this evening. A few flashes of lightning have been observed
    off Vancouver Island with this feature. Some risk for isolated

    Midlevel short-wave trough, off the Pacific Northwest coast, is
    forecast to advance inland around 23/00z before deamplifying as it
    ejects into southwest Canada by the end of the period. Associated
    surface front will also progress inland around 23/00z, and cooling
    lower tropospheric profiles should lead to weak buoyancy along the
    WA/OR coast. Low-topped convection may generate a flash or two of
    lightning, but thunderstorms should otherwise remain quite sparse.

    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a weak short-wave trough
    over northeast Mexico, lifting north in line with latest model
    guidance. Deep southeasterly flow across south TX will maintain
    moist profiles that should exhibit modest SBCAPE by late afternoon.
    Forecast soundings also suggest deep-layer shear will remain quite
    weak, and any convection that evolves across this region should
    remain below severe levels.

    The next shortwave trough and associated cold front are expected to
    advance inland across British Columbia/coastal Washington by this
    evening. A related plume of steepening mid-level lapse rates will
    contribute to weak buoyancy and the potential for isolated lightning
    flashes with low-topped convection. Elsewhere across the West, a few
    lightning flashes have been noted early this morning across the
    California Sierra, and this scenario may continue today within a
    moisture-rich plume with weak buoyancy.

    A weak mid-level disturbance over the western Gulf and coastal
    Mexico, along with a moist air mass (reference 12z Brownsville
    observed sounding) to the south of a slow-moving front, may allow
    for a few thunderstorms to develop into/across Deep South Texas.
    Similar to morning RAOB/WSR-88D VWP observations, forecast soundings

    convection that evolves across this region should remain below

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

    ...Synopsis...
    A pronounced midlevel shortwave trough and associated baroclinic
    zone will move across the WA coast later this afternoon.
    Low-midlevel lapse rates will contribute to weak buoyancy of
    sufficient depth (through -20 C at the equilibrium level) for charge
    separation and isolated lightning flashes with low-topped convection
    along and behind the front. Shallow, weakly rotating convection
    will be possible near the WA coast per the KLGX VWP/hodograph, but
    the threat for severe storms appears too limited to warrant an
    outlook area. Farther south, the potential for isolated lightning
    flashes will slowly wane through the day across the northern Sierra
    Nevada, where weak buoyancy rooted above the surface will likewise
    diminish.

    Otherwise, a broad subtropical ridge (with unusually high
    geopotential heights) covers the southern Plains/Gulf coast. An
    embedded/weak midlevel trough will rotate slowly north-northwestward
    around the periphery of the ridge, bringing weak ascent and an

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1008 AM CST Mon Dec 22 2025/

    ...Synopsis...
    A pronounced midlevel shortwave trough and associated baroclinic
    zone will move across the WA coast later this afternoon.
    Low-midlevel lapse rates will contribute to weak buoyancy of
    sufficient depth (through -20 C at the equilibrium level) for charge
    separation and isolated lightning flashes with low-topped convection
    along and behind the front. Shallow, weakly rotating convection
    will be possible near the WA coast per the KLGX VWP/hodograph, but
    the threat for severe storms appears too limited to warrant an
    outlook area. Farther south, the potential for isolated lightning
    flashes will slowly wane through the day across the northern Sierra
    Nevada, where weak buoyancy rooted above the surface will likewise
    diminish.

    Otherwise, a broad subtropical ridge (with unusually high
    geopotential heights) covers the southern Plains/Gulf coast. An
    embedded/weak midlevel trough will rotate slowly north-northwestward
    around the periphery of the ridge, bringing weak ascent and an
    associated moisture plume into south TX. Per the observed deepening
    of the moist layer at BRO in the past 12 hours, pockets of surface heating/destabilization could support isolated thunderstorm
    development across south TX this afternoon.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities are low tonight.

    Water-vapor imagery depicts a notable short-wave trough advancing
    inland along the Pacific Northwest coast. A few flashes of lighting
    have been observed with deeper convection ahead of this feature,
    primarily across more buoyant regions offshore. While an isolated
    thunderstorm can not be ruled out for the next few hours, lightning probabilities appear too low to warrant a categorical risk of
    thunderstorms the rest of tonight.

    Lighting has decreased notably across the western Gulf basin in
    association with a weak disturbance lifting north toward deep South
    TX. 00z sounding at BRO does exhibit uninhibited SBCAPE, but loss of
    daytime heating and weak forcing does not appear particularly
    favorable for more than a rogue flash of lightning, and that is
    primarily over the next few hours.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm potential will increase along the California coast late
    tonight. Organized severe is not currently forecast.

    ...CA...

    Strong short-wave trough is forecast to approach the northern CA
    coast after 24/06z, then eject inland by sunrise as midlevel speed
    max intensifies and translates into northern CA. Latest model
    guidance suggests this feature will induce a surface low that should
    deepen as it approaches the northern CA/OR coast. This evolution
    will allow a notable surface front to surge inland toward the end of
    the period, around 24/12z. Wind profiles are expected to increase
    markedly ahead of this feature, but pre frontal buoyancy will remain
    quite limited. Forecast soundings support this with roughly 100-200
    J/kg MUCAPE expected just ahead of the front. Given the strength of
    the wind field there is some concern that a few strong gusts could
    be noted with deeper convection; however, this activity should
    develop very late (after 09z), possibly becoming more problematic
    during the day2 period. At this time will not introduce severe
    probabilities due to the expected late-period development, but will
    continue to monitor for possible upgrade.

    ...South TX...

    Weak midlevel disturbance is lifting north into deep south TX late
    this evening. Forecast soundings suggest modest SBCAPE will develop
    by mid day as this feature progresses north of the international
    border. Wind fields should remain weak, along with forcing, so the
    risk of severe is expected to remain low this period.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE COAST
    OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A localized threat for severe gusts may develop late tonight near
    the coast in northern California.

    ...CA...
    A potent shortwave trough is forecast to approach the northern CA
    coast late tonight as an attendant midlevel speed max moves from the
    eastern Pacific into northern CA. Considerable differences were
    noted in some of the latest models with the 00z EC/UKMET operational
    runs considerably weaker with cyclone development than 00-06z runs
    of the NAM/GFS/Canadian and the 00z HREF mean. Hedging towards a
    slightly more intense forecast solution and related wind field
    depictions. This forecast scenario coincides with a surface front
    surging inland toward the end of the period, around 24/12z. Although pre-frontal buoyancy will remain quite limited (100-200
    J/kg MUCAPE), the deeper low-topped convection may yield a
    severe-wind risk during the 08-12z period near the immediate coast
    before buoyancy diminishes inland.

    ...South TX...
    Weak midlevel disturbance is lifting north into deep south TX late
    this evening. Forecast soundings suggest modest SBCAPE will develop
    by mid day as this feature progresses north of the international
    border. Wind fields should remain weak, along with forcing, so the

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated threat for severe/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado may develop late tonight/early Wednesday morning across
    parts of coastal California.

    ...California...
    Within large-scale upper troughing over the eastern Pacific, an
    embedded mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly eastward and
    approach the CA Coast late tonight/early Wednesday morning. A
    corresponding strengthening and increase in the flow through much of
    the troposphere is anticipated late in the period, with a surface
    low also forecast to deepen along/near the coast of northern CA. A
    cold front attendant to this surface low will sweep quickly
    eastward, and should be approaching/onshore across parts of coastal northern/central CA by 12Z early Wednesday morning. Current
    expectations are for the thermodynamic profile to remain mostly
    saturated, with poor lapse rates generally limiting instability.
    Even so, it appears that a gradual increase in low-level moisture
    ahead of the cold front and slightly cooling mid-level temperatures
    with the approach of the shortwave trough may support weak but
    sufficient MUCAPE for an organized band of low-topped thunderstorms
    late tonight.

    Most guidance suggests this convection will not impact parts of
    coastal CA until after 24/06Z, and there is still significant
    uncertainty whether enough boundary-layer instability will be
    present to support surface-based convection. There is also a signal
    for pre-frontal convection in the low-level warm advection regime
    across parts of central into coastal southern CA. Given the strength
    of the low/mid-level flow forecast, and related strong
    low-level/deep-layer shear, it appears that convectively enhanced
    winds may be capable of reaching severe levels and producing damage
    on an isolated basis even if instability remains minimal. A brief
    tornado may also occur if convection can become truly surface based,
    as effective SRH will be enhanced by a 50-70 kt southerly low-level
    jet. Based on latest guidance trends, the Marginal Risk has been
    expanded southward along the coast to include more of
    central/southern CA. This isolated severe threat is expected to
    continue beyond 12Z Wednesday into the Day 2 period.

    A strong short-wave trough/surface low continues to approach the California/Oregon coast. Later tonight a midlevel speed max will

    strengthening tropospheric flow and forced convection along the cold

    convection can realize this buoyancy, forecast wind profiles along
    the coast exhibit sufficient deep-layer shear and low-level
    curvature to support brief tornadoes. The easternmost extent of this

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS COASTAL
    CALIFORNIA AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with marginally severe wind gusts, small hail and
    potentially a brief tornado will be possible from Wednesday into
    Wednesday night along parts of the California coast, and inland
    across the San Joaquin Valley.

    ... Synopsis ...

    A high-amplitude midlevel pattern will persist on Wednesday,
    characterized by a deep trough across the eastern Pacific and a
    building ridge across the Plains. This pattern will maintain a broad
    belt of intense cyclonic flow across California into the Interior
    West.

    Throughout the day, an initial shortwave trough will continue
    lifting northeast from the eastern Pacific into the Pacific
    Northwest, while the attendant surface low lifts more northward
    along the coast toward Washington. Late on Wednesday a second, more
    potent trough will approach central and northern California --
    primarily after dark. This setup will facilitate a prolonged period
    rain and embedded thunderstorms across California and portions of
    the Interior West into Thursday.

    ... California Coast ...

    Strong ascent and strengthening onshore flow will aid in modest
    destabilization Wednesday morning ahead of a surface cold front. An
    ongoing band of convection is expected across the central and
    southern coastal areas associated with the strongly forced ascent
    along the advancing cold front. Given the presence of a strong
    low-level jet (locally exceeding 50 knots at 1 km AGL), there is a
    risk that these strong winds will mix to the surface within the
    strongest convection resulting in damaging wind gusts. Forecast
    soundings across the area do maintain some low-level curvature ahead
    of the convective line, such that any convective element able to
    interact with true surface-based buoyancy would have the potential
    for a brief tornado.

    In the wake of the morning convection, a secondary surface low will
    intensify during the afternoon and overnight as it approaches the
    northern California coast. This will likely trigger another round or
    two of broken, low-topped convection along a second cold front.
    Despite weaker instability than with the morning convection, the
    strength of the wind fields would suggest an ongoing risk for
    isolated wind damage as this convection moves inland.

    ... Central Valley ...

    Cold midlevel temperatures and increasing height falls will
    overspread surface dewpoints in the 40s to perhaps low 50s. Although
    buoyancy will remain modest (MUCAPE at or below 500 J/kg), the
    presence of a powerful midlevel jet in excess of 100 knots will
    support long hodographs. This combination of modest instability and
    large/long hodographs may support a threat for semi-organized
    convection, including some potential for supercells. The strongest
    storms will be capable of producing damaging gusts, hail, and a
    brief tornado before the convection shifts east into the higher
    terrain and weakens.

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for localized severe gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado will exist today into tonight along much of the California
    coast and the central valley.

    ...California...
    Water-vapor early this morning shows an upper trough over the
    eastern Pacific with a lead disturbance moving north near the
    northern coast of CA/southwest OR. Farther south, a mid-level
    vorticity maximum west of southern CA will move to the Sierra Nevada
    by early evening. Upstream of this disturbance and farther west,
    models show a more potent mid-level shortwave trough moving
    northeast towards the northern CA coast by 25/12z. In the low
    levels, a notable deepening of a cyclone is forecast tonight over
    the eastern Pacific to the west of the northern coast of CA.

    Zone of persistent and strong low-level WAA regime will aid in
    maintaining a persistent rain shield with shallow convection from
    Point Conception southward along the coast into the LA Basin this
    morning. Scant buoyancy will limit updraft vigor/depth, but intense
    flow (reference KVBX, KVTX WSR-88D VAD data) in the lowest 2-km MSL
    may enable an isolated risk for wind damage/severe gusts near the
    coast and in terrain-favored locales. A brief tornado cannot be
    ruled out, but this threat would likely depend on the development of
    stronger embedded convective elements within the larger rain shield.

    Later this afternoon, some convection-allowing models show
    low-topped convection developing within the central valley in an
    environment characterized by cold mid-level temperatures and a
    modestly moist airmass. A mini supercell risk is possible with an
    attendant isolated threat for a brief tornado and wind.

    By early evening, another round of low-topped convection is progged
    to develop west of the coast. This activity will focus from near
    Point Conception northward along the coast tonight as strengthening
    ascent accompanies the approach of the next mid-level wave.
    Elongated hodographs and weak buoyancy will support potential storm organization with the stronger storms and an isolated threat for
    severe wind gusts/brief tornado.

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for severe/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado will exist today into tonight along much of the California
    Coast and portions of the Central Valley.

    ...California...
    A shallow band of pre-frontal convection may continue to pose a
    threat for locally severe/damaging winds (especially across higher terrain/ridgetops) and perhaps a brief tornado this morning across
    parts of coastal southern CA. This activity is being supported by
    strong low-level warm advection and large-scale ascent associated
    with an enhanced mid/upper-level jet. Current expectations are for
    this activity to continue moving eastward through the afternoon
    across the remainder of coastal southern CA in a strongly sheared
    environment. However, various NAM/RAP forecast soundings across this
    area suggest that even with low 60s surface dewpoints and
    modest/filtered daytime heating, the overall severe threat will
    likely remain isolated due to poor lapse rates aloft and limited
    boundary-layer instability. Reference Mesoscale Discussion 2269 for
    more details on the near-term severe threat across southern CA.

    Additional rounds of convection are expected later this evening and
    overnight into early Thursday morning over portions of
    northern/central CA, as multiple mid-level shortwave troughs
    embedded within persistent large-scale upper troughing over the
    eastern Pacific overspread these areas. One such shortwave trough is
    forecast to advance over coastal central CA and vicinity around
    25/00-06Z this evening, with cool temperatures aloft (less than -20C
    at 500 mb) supporting weak MUCAPE. Both low-level and deep-layer
    shear are expected to gradually increase this evening as the
    shortwave trough approaches, with some updraft organization
    possible. Strong to locally severe winds and a brief tornado or two
    appear possible with this activity, but uncertainty is still
    substantial whether sufficient instability will be present to
    support surface-based thunderstorms.

    A stronger mid-level shortwave trough will move east-northeastward
    from the eastern Pacific and approach the northern CA Coast by 12Z
    Thursday morning, along with a deepening surface low and attendant
    cold front. A 70-80+ kt mid-level jet will accompany this shortwave
    trough, along with a 50-60 kt south-southwesterly low-level jet. A
    broken band of low-topped thunderstorms will likely develop in
    association with this shortwave trough along/ahead of the front, and
    overspread coastal portions of northern/central CA late tonight
    through early Thursday morning (25/06-12Z). A strongly sheared
    environment and weak but sufficient MLCAPE may exist to support at
    least an isolated threat for severe/damaging winds and a tornado or
    two as this activity spreads inland through the end of the period.
    Still, the overall severe threat should be tempered by the lack of
    stronger instability.

    Finally, some chance for low-topped/mini supercells may exist late
    this afternoon/evening across parts of the Central Valley of CA. If
    these thunderstorms can develop and be sustained, they could pose a
    threat for both damaging winds and a brief tornado. But, confidence
    in this scenario occurring remains rather low.

    Valid 242000Z - 251200Z

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
    COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for severe/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado will exist today into tonight along much of the California
    Coast and portions of the Central Valley.

    ...20Z Update...

    ...Central/Northern California...
    Water vapor imagery shows the shortwave trough already moving
    inland. In the wake of this activity, visible satellite shows
    potential for cloud cover to reduce within the Central Valley from
    west to east. Some forecast soundings show destabilization is
    possible by late afternoon. Given the southeast flow within the
    Valley and strong flow aloft, a conditional threat for a marginal supercell/brief tornado could develop.

    Greater confidence exists with activity later in the evening into
    Thursday morning associated with a secondary, stronger shortwave
    trough. Another narrow band of convection is expected ahead of this
    shortwave and will impact parts of the central/northern California
    Coast and eventually parts of the Central Valley as well. Isolated
    damaging winds and a brief tornado would be possible with this
    activity.

    ...Southern California...
    A spatially limited threat for wind damage and a brief tornado will
    exist for another few hours this afternoon. A low-topped band of
    convection recently moved through much of the LA Basin and will
    generally continue eastward. There may be a narrow sliver of
    dewpoints near 60 F just east of this activity. Dewpoints closer to
    San Diego are only in the upper 50s F, however. Strong wind shear at
    low levels will maintain this marginal risk, though decreasing
    buoyancy southward and inland should lead to a downward trend in
    intensity.

    ..Wendt.. 12/24/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1025 AM CST Wed Dec 24 2025/

    ...California...
    A shallow band of pre-frontal convection may continue to pose a
    threat for locally severe/damaging winds (especially across higher terrain/ridgetops) and perhaps a brief tornado this morning across
    parts of coastal southern CA. This activity is being supported by
    strong low-level warm advection and large-scale ascent associated
    with an enhanced mid/upper-level jet. Current expectations are for
    this activity to continue moving eastward through the afternoon
    across the remainder of coastal southern CA in a strongly sheared
    environment. However, various NAM/RAP forecast soundings across this
    area suggest that even with low 60s surface dewpoints and
    modest/filtered daytime heating, the overall severe threat will
    likely remain isolated due to poor lapse rates aloft and limited
    boundary-layer instability. Reference Mesoscale Discussion 2269 for
    more details on the near-term severe threat across southern CA.

    Additional rounds of convection are expected later this evening and
    overnight into early Thursday morning over portions of
    northern/central CA, as multiple mid-level shortwave troughs
    embedded within persistent large-scale upper troughing over the
    eastern Pacific overspread these areas. One such shortwave trough is
    forecast to advance over coastal central CA and vicinity around
    25/00-06Z this evening, with cool temperatures aloft (less than -20C
    at 500 mb) supporting weak MUCAPE. Both low-level and deep-layer
    shear are expected to gradually increase this evening as the
    shortwave trough approaches, with some updraft organization
    possible. Strong to locally severe winds and a brief tornado or two
    appear possible with this activity, but uncertainty is still
    substantial whether sufficient instability will be present to
    support surface-based thunderstorms.

    A stronger mid-level shortwave trough will move east-northeastward
    from the eastern Pacific and approach the northern CA Coast by 12Z
    Thursday morning, along with a deepening surface low and attendant
    cold front. A 70-80+ kt mid-level jet will accompany this shortwave
    trough, along with a 50-60 kt south-southwesterly low-level jet. A
    broken band of low-topped thunderstorms will likely develop in
    association with this shortwave trough along/ahead of the front, and
    overspread coastal portions of northern/central CA late tonight
    through early Thursday morning (25/06-12Z). A strongly sheared
    environment and weak but sufficient MLCAPE may exist to support at
    least an isolated threat for severe/damaging winds and a tornado or
    two as this activity spreads inland through the end of the period.
    Still, the overall severe threat should be tempered by the lack of
    stronger instability.

    Finally, some chance for low-topped/mini supercells may exist late
    this afternoon/evening across parts of the Central Valley of CA. If
    these thunderstorms can develop and be sustained, they could pose a
    threat for both damaging winds and a brief tornado. But, confidence
    in this scenario occurring remains rather low.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG MUCH OF
    THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for severe/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado will exist through tonight along much of the California
    Coast and portions of the Central Valley.

    ... 01Z Update ...

    Multiple bands of convection look likely this evening into the early
    morning hours as a deepening surface low approaches the California
    coast. The strongest convective elements within this first band,
    currently approaching the San Francisco Bay area, will be capable of
    producing gusty winds as it moves inland.

    Wind fields will strengthen overnight in response to the approaching
    low. This will maintain sufficient low-level theta-e advection to
    support modest low-level instability through Christmas morning.
    Numerical guidance this evening indicates a more intense band of
    convection will approach the central and northern California coast
    in the 08-12Z (12-4AM PT) window, quickly moving into northern
    portions of the Central Valley. Given the modest instability and
    strong wind fields, isolated strong wind gusts and a brief tornado
    will be possible overnight, especially along the coast.

    Elsewhere along the California coast, low-level moist advection will
    persist through the night supporting localized convective
    development. For the same reasons listed above, an isolated strong
    wind gust or brief tornado would be possible with these convective
    elements.

    ... Central Valley ...

    Thunderstorms have developed this afternoon across portions of the
    Central Valley near Sacramento. Surface-based instability around 500
    J/kg within a strongly sheared environment will support an isolated
    wind threat. Should convective elements become more cellular, the
    low-level wind fields would support a brief tornado, especially in
    areas where surface-based instability can be realized. This activity
    will lift generally northward across the Central Valley through this
    evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE
    CALIFORNIA COAST AND PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with potential to produce marginally severe wind gusts
    and perhaps a brief tornado will be possible on Thursday along much
    of the California Coast and portions of the Central Valley.

    ... Synopsis ...

    A highly amplified pattern will persist across the US as a deep
    trough over the eastern Pacific is maintained and a ridge builds
    over the central US. A series of embedded shortwave troughs within
    the eastern Pacific trough will impact the West Coast on Christmas
    and Christmas night.

    ... California ...

    The first of these shortwave troughs will be moving across the
    region at the start of the forecast period, bringing with it a band
    of strongly forced convection, likely located across portions of the
    central coast of California into the Central Valley. As the
    shortwave trough takes on an increasingly negative tilt, a 50-60
    knot southerly low-level jet will be maintained allowing for
    sufficient low-level theta-e advection to support a modest 100-300
    J/kg of surface-based CAPE. As the convective band interacts with
    this strong low-level kinematic field, gusty/damaging convective
    winds may be realized at the surface, particularly with the stronger
    convective elements. Forecast low-level hodographs ahead of this
    convective line feature sufficient low-level curvature to support a
    brief tornado should any convective element realize true
    surface-based buoyancy. As the morning progresses, the
    aforementioned shortwave trough will lift north then northwest
    within the broader cyclonic flow across the eastern Pacific whereas
    the band of convection slowly advances south and east. By midday,
    the low-level wind fields should weaken sufficiently in response to
    the departing shortwave trough to reduce the potential of damaging winds/tornadoes across far southern California.

    By mid-afternoon, another shortwave trough will approach the central
    and northern California coast. In response, the low-level wind
    fields will once again strengthen, albeit perhaps not to the extent
    as with the morning wave. Another band or bands of strongly forced
    convection are expected to develop across the eastern Pacific and
    approach coastal areas of central California after 00Z (4 PM PT). As
    was the case with the morning convection, the strongest convective
    elements may be capable of mixing down the stronger winds aloft
    resulting in the potential for isolated strong thunderstorm winds.

    An isolated risk for severe gusts and localized wind damage, and
    perhaps a brief tornado will be possible today along much of the
    California Coast and portions of the Central Valley.

    ... California ...
    Water-vapor imagery early this morning shows a mid-level low over
    the eastern Pacific and a negative-tilt shortwave trough moving
    northward along the northern CA and OR coast. An upstream mid-level
    speed max and associated vorticity max will move cyclonically
    through the base of the eastern Pacific low/trough and approach San
    Francisco Bay and northern CA this evening and subsequently move
    into eastern OR by early Friday morning.

    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms mainly capable of a
    severe-wind hazard will potentially continue on an isolated basis
    this morning from the Central Valley/central coast and perhaps
    include portions of southern CA. The low CAPE/high shear
    environment will potentially support strong/locally severe
    convection contingent on sufficient updraft development. Forecast
    low-level hodographs will remain sufficiently enlarged to yield a
    low risk for a brief tornado across much of the Marginal Risk (level
    1 of 5) area. By this afternoon, model guidance indicates low-level
    flow will weaken before re-intensifying towards evening in
    association with the arrival of the next speed max. A mix of linear
    bands and cellular convective structures may continue to pose an
    intermittent risk for isolated damaging gusts and perhaps a brief
    tornado into tonight.

    Recent satellite imagery shows a mid/upper-level low over the

    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms capable of producing mainly
    isolated severe/damaging winds will remain possible with convection
    today into this evening. Weak instability is forecast to persist
    across much of coastal CA into the Central Valley, with cool surface temperatures, saturated profiles, and modest lapse rates aloft
    (reference the 12Z OAK sounding) limiting the development of greater
    MUCAPE. Still, a favorable kinematic environment with enhanced west-southwesterly mid/upper-level flow will conditionally support
    occasional strong to severe convection, contingent on sufficiently deep/sustained updraft development.

    Low-level hodographs are forecast to remain enlarged enough to yield
    a low risk for a brief tornado across much of the Marginal Risk
    area. Consensus of latest model guidance indicates low/mid-level
    flow will weaken somewhat this afternoon before gradually

    The previous outlook reasoning remains on track, and no changes were

    A few thunderstorms had developed over the Sacramento Valley since
    18z, where partial clearing was noted and weak buoyancy (200-300
    J/kg) was present. Offshore, an increase in lightning was noted as
    the next upstream vorticity maximum moves towards the CA Coast.
    Although buoyancy will remain weak, stronger low/mid-level flow will
    become re-established later this afternoon/evening and will support
    an isolated risk of strong/severe wind gusts with a few
    stronger/sustained convective elements, and low-level hodographs
    will be sufficiently curved to conditionally support a brief
    tornado.

    around the Sacramento area, with indications of marginal hail. To
    the west, another frontal band of convection will continue to
    approach much of the central coastal counties. The 00Z OAK sounding
    shows steep lapse rates and strong shear profiles, which may favor
    both damaging gusts or embedded areas of rotation as leading cells
    and/or the frontal band approach later this evening. As such, will
    maintain the Marginal Risk.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected across the continental U.S. today.
    General thunderstorm activity is most likely from lower Michigan
    into Pennsylvania, and from parts of California into the Great
    Basin.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A slow-moving positive tilt upper trough will move across CA and
    into the Great Basin through tonight, with a weakening surface low
    dropping southeastward into northern CA. Modest southwest flow aloft
    will support continued moist conditions with areas of more
    concentrated rain and embedded thunderstorms. In general, veering
    low-level winds and/or weak instability will likely preclude much of
    a severe thunderstorm risk, though stronger gusts may occur
    coincident with shallow convection in favored areas of terrain
    across parts of CA.

    To the east, a low-amplitude upper trough will move across the Great
    Lakes and OH Valley during the day and toward the Mid Atlantic late,
    with a plume of 50s F dewpoints surging into OH. Several hundred
    J/kg elevated MUCAPE will develop, supporting scattered
    thunderstorms. While deep-layer effective shear may support cellular
    storm mode, generally weak instability levels are unlikely to
    support severe hail.

    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a large-scale upper trough
    over the Pacific Northwest coast and eastern Pacific. This

    Valley. Plume of subtropical moisture over the eastern Pacific will
    continue to advect northeast into portions of the Interior West.
    Showers and widely spaced, occasional thunderstorms are likely today
    across CA into the Great Basin and northern Rockies. Scant
    instability will likely preclude strong thunderstorm development
    with this activity. Farther east, a few thunderstorms are possible
    from the Great Lakes east-southeast into the northern Mid-Atlantic
    states in advance of a mid-level shortwave trough forecast to move
    east today.

    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
    States through tonight.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough will continue to progress eastward over the western
    CONUS today. With cool temperatures at mid levels supporting weak
    MUCAPE, isolated thunderstorms may occur across parts of CA into the
    Great Basin and northern Rockies through the period as large-scale
    ascent associated with the upper trough spreads inland. Mid-level
    flow and related deep-layer shear should remain strong enough to
    support some updraft organization across these areas, but limited
    low-level moisture, cool surface temperatures, and overall weak
    instability will likely hinder a meaningful severe threat from
    materializing today. Elsewhere, isolated lightning flashes may occur
    with elevated convection in a strong low-level warm advection regime
    over portions of the Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic and southern
    NY as a mid-level shortwave trough advances east-southeastward
    across these areas.

    ...Discussion...
    Scattered showers persist this evening from parts of CA into
    northern UT, north of the midlevel jet with cool temperatures aloft.
    With the loss of heating and in the absence of significant
    large-scale ascent, a steady downward trend is expected through late
    evening. Given weak instability coupled with a cooling boundary
    layer, severe storms are unlikely.

    To the east, a midlevel wave continues to move across the Mid
    Atlantic, with scattered low-topped showers from WV across the warm
    front into PA. The 00Z PIT sounding shows weak elevated instability
    sufficient for a few lightning flashes with the larger batch of
    precipitation as it pushes east across the remainder of PA, NJ, MD
    and DE.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Little thunderstorm activity is forecast across the contiguous U.S.
    today. A few thunderstorms may occur from eastern Kansas into
    northern Missouri toward Sunday morning.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Most of the CONUS will remain free of thunderstorms for much of the
    day as a western trough progresses into the Plains late tonight into
    Sunday. Ahead of this trough, upper ridging will occur over the
    MS/OH Valleys with low-level warming and moisture advection. Low 60s
    F dewpoints will stream north out of the southern Plains and lower
    MS Valley toward the lower MO/Mid MS Valley late. This air mass will
    remain capped for most of the period.

    After about 06Z tonight, midlevel cooling will be more prominent
    into KS/NE/IA, with a zone of elevated instability becoming
    uncapped. While effective shear will be strong, instability should
    only average at or below 500 J/kg. CAMs suggest storms may develop
    after 08Z over northeast KS and move into northern MO through 12Z
    Sunday. It appears that any hail risk will be non-severe/small.

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows an upper trough over the
    West. This upper feature will move east and reach the Dakotas and
    central Rockies by early Sunday morning. Ahead of this trough,
    upper ridging will occur over the MS/OH Valleys with a warm conveyor
    focused over the lower MO Valley. Low 60s F dewpoints will stream
    north out of the southern Plains and lower MS Valley toward the
    lower MO/Mid MS Valley late and ahead of an approaching cold front
    pushing southeast into the KS/IA vicinity.

    Weak instability is forecast to gradually develop tonight over the
    lower MO/mid MS Valley with an increase in showers and isolated
    thunderstorms evolving primarily after midnight. Despite strong
    effective shear, current thinking is storm intensity will be limited
    with the elevated storm activity and hail potential will remain sub
    severe.

    A large-scale upper trough with multiple embedded perturbations will
    move eastward from the western CONUS across much of the Plains
    through the period. While cold mid-level temperatures will accompany
    this upper trough, meager low-level moisture and cool surface
    temperatures should generally limit instability and the potential

    Low-level moisture will gradually return northward through tonight
    across the lower/mid MS Valley and lower OH Valley ahead of a strong
    cold front and deepening surface low over the central Plains and mid
    MO Valley. Increasing warm/moist advection associated with a
    low-level jet should eventually support weak MUCAPE and isolated
    thunderstorm potential across parts of eastern KS into MO and
    central IL late tonight/early Sunday morning. With MUCAPE forecast
    to remain generally less than 750 J/kg, the potential for severe
    hail with elevated convection appears low even though deep-layer
    shear will be strong.

    Low pressure will shift eastward across KS tonight and into western

    the cold front, with dewpoints to around 60 F spreading northward

    Forecast soundings indicate elevated MUCAPE over 500 J/kg will
    develop, while deep-layer effective shear remains strong. This may
    yield a few stronger cells, possibly producing small hail, though
    the most likely scenario is for hail to remain below severe levels.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    MISSOURI INTO WESTERN OHIO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may develop over Missouri and Illinois today,
    and move across parts of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio through evening.
    A few damaging wind gusts appear to be the primary severe threat.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper low will deepen as it moves from the northern Plains into
    the upper Great Lakes, with rapidly intensifying mid and high level
    flow and strong height falls spreading across much of the Midwest.
    At the surface, low pressure will deepen from northern MO this
    morning into Lower MI by 00Z, with an intense cold front trailing
    southwest from the low. By mid afternoon, this front will extend
    from northern IL into eastern MO and northwest AR, with southerly
    winds aiding northward moisture transport with dewpoints near 60 F.
    A warm front will lift across IL, IN, and southern Lower MI as the
    low develops northeastward. Lift along these boundaries will support
    scattered thunderstorms, with the greatest probabilities generally
    near the surface low track from northeast MO into Lower MI. Given
    strong wind fields, sporadic severe storms may occur.

    ...From MO into OH...
    For the morning hours, scattered elevated thunderstorms appear
    likely from eastern IA across northern IL, IN, and southern Lower MI
    north of the warm front and in the zone of theta-e advection.
    Forecast soundings indicate sufficient MUCAPE for perhaps small
    hail.

    From midday into the afternoon, SBCAPE over 500 J/kg is forecast
    ahead of the cold front and near the surface low from eastern MO
    across central IL and into IN. This is conditionally a favorable
    area for supercells, though in this case the lack of surface heating
    along with a cap below 700 mb suggest the bulk of the diurnal
    convection should be relegated to the cold front, in which case a
    linear mode seems likely. Still, given hodographs favoring
    supercells, a few embedded areas of rotation will be possible and a
    brief tornado cannot be ruled out. Otherwise, damaging winds will be
    the primary concern

    ILLINOIS TO INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over Illinois and
    Indiana this afternoon through the evening. Severe wind gusts
    capable of wind damage and a couple of tornadoes are the primary
    threats.

    ...Mid MS Valley east through IN-OH-western PA...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level low near the
    MT/ND border with a trough into the central Rockies/Sangre de
    Cristos. This mid-level low will move into the central Great Lakes
    by early Monday morning. Strong southwesterly 500-mb flow (80 kt)
    extending from the base of the trough through the lower MO Valley
    and OH Valley will feature an intensifying 110-kt jet reaching the
    MO-IL border this evening before further strengthening to 130 kt
    over OH by the end of the period.

    A surface low over eastern KS will deepen rapidly through tonight as
    it moves to Lake Huron. A frontal zone extending east-northeast
    through the southern Great Lakes this morning will serve as the
    northern edge of the moist sector. A cold front initially over
    KS-OK will surge south-east. Southerly low-level flow across the
    moist sector will maintain a fetch of seasonably high 58-62 deg F
    dewpoints immediately ahead of the front/low.

    A rain shield with embedded thunderstorms this morning from northern
    MO into the southern Great Lakes could feature a stronger storm or
    two through midday, but the primary severe risk will likely focus
    this afternoon through tonight. Model guidance indicates the cap
    will erode near the evolving triple point and cold front by mid-late
    afternoon. Upwards of 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE is possible across parts
    of central into eastern IL with buoyancy tapering with east extent
    across the OH Valley. A southward-developing convective band is
    forecast to evolve late this afternoon through the early evening.
    Long hodographs and strong 2-3 km flow will favor a risk for severe
    gusts with the more intense storms and surges with the maturing
    band. Models indicate the wind-damage threat may persist across the
    OH Valley/southern Great Lakes tonight despite meager instability.
    The tornado risk appears highest with cells that can develop near
    the instability axis and mature before either destructive
    interference of the larger-scale cold pool overwhelms cellular mode,
    and/or this activity moves farther east into lessening instability.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    EASTERN ILLINOIS INTO INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over parts of the
    Midwest and lower Ohio Valley this afternoon through the evening. Severe/damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes are the primary
    threats.

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley into the Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    An upper trough/low over the northern Plains this morning will
    further intensify today as it develops towards the Upper
    Midwest/Great Lakes through the period. Pronounced large-scale
    ascent associated with a strengthening mid/upper jet (100-120 kt at
    500 mb) over the mid MS Valley into IL/IN will encourage rapid
    deepening of a surface low as it develops from central/northern IL
    into Lower MI by this evening. A rather moist low-level airmass with
    generally upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints will continue to
    spread northward across the mid MS Valley into parts of the
    Midwest/OH Valley and southern Great Lakes regions in tandem with a northward-shifting surface warm front. A cold front is also expected
    to sweep east-southeastward across these regions this
    afternoon/evening as the surface low tracks northeastward. This cold
    front should serve as a focus for strong to severe convection later
    today.

    The 12Z ILX sounding showed a moist but saturated profile through
    much of the troposphere, with strong west-southwesterly
    mid/upper-level winds already present over the warm sector. Current expectations are for ongoing, mostly elevated convection across
    central IL to pose a threat for isolated hail and strong to locally
    severe gusts given the strength of the mid-level flow. This activity
    may linger along/just north the warm front through the afternoon as
    it spreads quickly east-northeastward into IN. Additional
    thunderstorms are expected to form along/near the cold front across
    IL and vicinity by 20-22Z as modest/filtered daytime heating occurs,
    with come cloud breaks already noted in visible satellite imagery
    across east-central MO/south-central IL. It does appear that surface temperatures are warming faster/more than forecast by some guidance
    across the warm sector in IL, with 16Z observations at some stations
    already reaching into the upper 60s/low 70s.

    The more aggressive 12Z guidance and recent RAP runs suggest that
    around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE may ultimately develop in a narrow
    corridor across eastern IL and western IN/KY ahead of the front,
    even though modest lapse rates aloft will likely inhibit more robust destabilization. This weak instability should be sufficient to
    support organized updrafts, as both low-level and deep-layer shear
    will be quite strong owing to the strengthening wind profiles across
    the warm sector this afternoon/evening with the approaching
    mid/upper-jet. There is still some uncertainty regarding the
    potential for pre-frontal convection. But, any low-topped supercells
    that can form and be sustained should pose a threat for a couple of
    tornadoes with upwards of 200-250 m2/s2 of effective SRH present.
    Eventual development of a thin/forced line of convection along the

    across the OH Valley and parts of western PA, where low-level flow
    is forecast to remain quite strong even with minimal instability.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF ILLINOIS...WESTERN KENTUCKY AND INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible over parts of the
    Midwest and lower Ohio Valley this afternoon through the evening. Severe/damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes are the primary
    threats.

    ...20Z Update...
    The only change to the outlook for this issuance is to trim the
    Marginal Risk area across parts of north-central Illinois behind a
    cold front that is moving southeastward across the region.

    ..Broyles.. 12/28/2025

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1040 AM CST Sun Dec 28 2025/

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley into the Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    An upper trough/low over the northern Plains this morning will
    further intensify today as it develops towards the Upper
    Midwest/Great Lakes through the period. Pronounced large-scale
    ascent associated with a strengthening mid/upper jet (100-120 kt at
    500 mb) over the mid MS Valley into IL/IN will encourage rapid
    deepening of a surface low as it develops from central/northern IL
    into Lower MI by this evening. A rather moist low-level airmass with
    generally upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints will continue to
    spread northward across the mid MS Valley into parts of the
    Midwest/OH Valley and southern Great Lakes regions in tandem with a northward-shifting surface warm front. A cold front is also expected
    to sweep east-southeastward across these regions this
    afternoon/evening as the surface low tracks northeastward. This cold
    front should serve as a focus for strong to severe convection later
    today.

    The 12Z ILX sounding showed a moist but saturated profile through
    much of the troposphere, with strong west-southwesterly
    mid/upper-level winds already present over the warm sector. Current expectations are for ongoing, mostly elevated convection across
    central IL to pose a threat for isolated hail and strong to locally
    severe gusts given the strength of the mid-level flow. This activity
    may linger along/just north the warm front through the afternoon as
    it spreads quickly east-northeastward into IN. Additional
    thunderstorms are expected to form along/near the cold front across
    IL and vicinity by 20-22Z as modest/filtered daytime heating occurs,
    with come cloud breaks already noted in visible satellite imagery
    across east-central MO/south-central IL. It does appear that surface temperatures are warming faster/more than forecast by some guidance
    across the warm sector in IL, with 16Z observations at some stations
    already reaching into the upper 60s/low 70s.

    The more aggressive 12Z guidance and recent RAP runs suggest that
    around 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE may ultimately develop in a narrow
    corridor across eastern IL and western IN/KY ahead of the front,
    even though modest lapse rates aloft will likely inhibit more robust destabilization. This weak instability should be sufficient to
    support organized updrafts, as both low-level and deep-layer shear
    will be quite strong owing to the strengthening wind profiles across
    the warm sector this afternoon/evening with the approaching
    mid/upper-jet. There is still some uncertainty regarding the
    potential for pre-frontal convection. But, any low-topped supercells
    that can form and be sustained should pose a threat for a couple of
    tornadoes with upwards of 200-250 m2/s2 of effective SRH present.
    Eventual development of a thin/forced line of convection along the
    cold front appears likely, with a threat for scattered
    severe/damaging winds and perhaps a couple of embedded tornadoes. At
    least an isolated severe threat may persist this evening/tonight
    across the OH Valley and parts of western PA, where low-level flow
    is forecast to remain quite strong even with minimal instability.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible over parts of the
    Midwest and Ohio Valley this evening. Severe/damaging wind gusts and
    perhaps a tornado are the primary threats.

    ...01z Update...

    Midlevel low is digging southeast across southeast SD early this
    evening. This feature is forecast to track across IA then eject into
    northern lower MI by the end of the period as an intense 500mb speed
    max translates into the OH Valley. In response to this short wave,
    surface low will deepen as it lifts north across lower MI overnight.
    The primary concern for deep convection, especially this evening,
    will be along the cold front as it surges across IN/western KY.
    Latest radar data exhibits a narrow, strongly forced line of
    convection from near Fort Wayne, IN southwest across southern IL
    into extreme northeast AR. This activity has progressed through the
    primary corridor of instability, but pre frontal air mass across the
    OH Valley remains adequately buoyant for surface-based convection,
    at least for the next several hours. Damaging winds should be the
    primary risk this evening, though a tornado or two can not be ruled
    out.

    ...Lower Rio Grande Valley...

    Surface front is surging south across south central TX late this
    evening as pressures build over the central/southern Plains. Latest
    model guidance suggests the wind shift will reach the international
    border around 12z, then quickly advance deep into northeast Mexico.
    A narrow band of shallow convection is currently noted along the
    front as far west as Wilson county TX. Forecast soundings for deep
    South TX at the start of the period suggest both pre frontal and
    post frontal parcels will exhibit sufficient buoyancy for the
    strongest updrafts to possibly penetrate levels necessary for
    lightning discharge. Any post frontal lightning threat should be
    over by 15z.

    ...Southern CA...

    Seasonally strong southern-stream upper trough is forecast to
    approach the southern CA coast late in the period. Latest model
    guidance suggests a strong 500mb speed max will translate through
    the base of the trough by 01/12z, and the left-exit region of this
    speed max will encourage convection along/ahead of a weak front as
    it surges inland, primarily after 09z. Forecast soundings along the
    coast suggest thunderstorms should be elevated in nature, with
    initial convection likely rooted above 850mb. However, as the front
    approaches, the level of parcel lift should lower, but likely remain
    slightly elevated. Even so, low-level shear/forcing is not expected
    to be particularly strong, and buoyancy appears inadequate for any
    meaningful risk of severe.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may occur across parts of southern California
    late tonight into early Thursday morning.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    With upper ridging remaining prominent over the western CONUS and
    upper troughing centered across the eastern states, thunderstorm
    potential should remain minimal though tonight for a large majority
    of the CONUS. One exception will be across parts of southern CA late
    tonight into early Thursday morning, as an upper trough/low over the
    eastern Pacific gradually approaches the CA Coast by the end of the
    period. While low-level moisture and related instability are both
    expected to remain limited, increasing large-scale ascent and
    gradually cooling mid-level temperatures preceding the upper
    trough/low may still support isolated convection capable of
    producing occasional lightning flashes, mainly after 01/06Z. Both
    MUCAPE and deep-layer shear appear too weak to support a meaningful
    threat for organized severe thunderstorms through the end of the
    period (12Z Thursday morning).

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    With upper ridging remaining prominent over the western CONUS and
    upper troughing centered across the eastern states, thunderstorm
    potential should remain minimal though tonight for a large majority
    of the CONUS. One exception will be across parts of southern CA late
    tonight into early Thursday morning, as an upper trough/low over the
    eastern Pacific gradually approaches the CA Coast by the end of the
    period. While low-level moisture and related instability are both
    expected to remain limited, increasing large-scale ascent and
    gradually cooling mid-level temperatures preceding the upper
    trough/low may still support isolated convection capable of
    producing occasional lightning flashes, mainly after 01/06Z. Both
    MUCAPE and deep-layer shear appear too weak to support a meaningful
    threat for organized severe thunderstorms through the end of the
    period (12Z Thursday morning).

    Well-defined upper low is lifting northeast toward the southern CA

    but remaining offshore. Left exit region of this jet will encourage
    convection along the weak front as it surges toward the coast late
    tonight. Primary concern for lightning will be after 09z, but this
    activity will be elevated and within a poor instability environment.
    Severe risk appears minimal tonight.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF SOUTHERN COASTAL CALIFORNIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Locally damaging winds, and a perhaps a brief weak tornado, could
    occur along a portion of coastal southern California.

    ...Southern CA...

    Latest water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low about
    300 mi WSW of Lompoc CA ejecting ENE in line with latest model
    guidance. This feature is forecast to shift inland as a 500mb speed
    max translates across the Channel Islands toward southern NV by
    early evening. Left-exit region of this jet will overspread the
    southern interior valley with seasonally cool 500mb temperatures
    noted north of the jet. Even so, forecast instability is expected to
    remain weak as MUCAPE values should remain generally less than a few
    hundred J/kg. Midlevel lapse rates are also not expected to be
    particularly steep and this is reflected in the sparsity of
    lightning currently noted with convection beneath the offshore low.

    Latest thinking is scattered weak convection will be the primary
    concern with the frontal zone early in the period, and much of this
    activity may struggle to generate lightning despite the maritime
    influences that will prove instrumental for this activity. While
    some risk for gusty winds, and perhaps a brief weak tornado exists,
    the majority of convection will remain sub severe.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF COASTAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Locally damaging winds, and perhaps a brief weak tornado, could
    occur along a portion of coastal southern California.

    ...Southern CA...
    Early-morning satellite imagery depicts a well-defined shortwave
    trough off the southern CA coast (about 220 miles west-southwest of
    Lompoc CA). This shortwave is forecast to continue northeastward,
    reaching the coast early this morning before then progressing
    through central CA and into NV, deamplifying notably as it does. A
    jetlet, characterized by around 50 kt at 500 mb, will accompany this
    wave, spreading across central and southern CA in tandem with the
    wave's northeastward progress. The leading edge of this stronger
    flow aloft is being sampled by the VTX VAD.

    This overall progression is contributing to broad ascent across much
    of central/southern CA, evidenced by the widespread precipitation
    across the region. Some stronger ascent and associated deeper
    convection is occurring across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
    counties. Southern extent of this stronger ascent will likely
    contribute to some deeper convection from the Channel Islands to the
    southern CA Coast. Mid-level temperatures will be cooling across
    this region as well, which could result in modest buoyancy within a
    relatively shallow layer. This could result in enough buoyancy for a
    few lightning flashes, although lapse rates are generally expected
    to remain poor. Wind profiles support the potential for a strong,
    convectively aided gust, and perhaps even a brief tornado, if
    updraft depth and persistence is sufficient. However, given the
    scarcity of buoyancy, the majority of convection will remain sub
    severe.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms will remain minimal across the U.S. today
    through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that mid-level flow is trending more zonal across
    the northern mid-latitudes, from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
    Across the southern mid- into subtropical latitudes, it appears
    likely to remain more amplified through this period, with one
    notable short wave trough forecast to continue digging across the
    eastern Pacific. Downstream, a lower amplitude short wave trough
    emerging from the Intermountain West may contribute to further
    suppression of mid-level ridging as far south as the central Great
    Plains into middle Mississippi Valley later today through tonight.
    However, mid-level ridging is likely to be maintained across much of
    the Gulf Basin and adjacent Gulf Coast, to the north of an
    increasingly prominent mid-level high forming near the Yucatan
    Peninsula. Farther east, broad mid-level troughing is forecast to
    shift a bit further offshore of the south Atlantic Seaboard.

    Beneath this regime, modest surface cyclogenesis may commence across
    the central Great Plains into Midwest. This may be accompanied by
    some low-level moistening off a Gulf boundary layer only slowly
    modifying in the wake of recent cooling and/or drying. However,
    forecast soundings indicate that this moisture return will be capped
    by pronounced warm and dry layers in the lower through
    mid-troposphere.

    ...California...
    Stronger mid-level cooling and forcing for ascent downstream of the
    digging offshore short wave, which could potentially become
    supportive of thermodynamic profiles conducive to thunderstorms, may
    approach the central California coast this morning before slowly
    shifting southward near, but mostly offshore of coastal areas
    through the remainder of the period.

    ...Great Basin into Rockies...
    Guidance continues to suggest that mid-level cooling and forcing for
    ascent (associated with a short wave perturbation now progressing
    northeast and east of the southern Sierra Nevada) could contribute
    to the evolution of thermodynamic profiles at least marginally
    conducive to convection capable of producing lightning, across the
    mountains of north central/northeastern Utah this morning into
    northwestern Colorado/adjacent southern Wyoming later today.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Downstream of the short wave emerging from the Great Basin, forecast
    soundings indicate that steepening lapse rates associated with
    mid-level cooling and forcing for ascent, coupled with mid-level
    moisture return, may support a corridor of destabilization rooted
    generally around the 700 mb layer. It might not be entirely out of
    the question that this could support weak convection capable of
    producing lightning across the southern Minnesota through southern
    Wisconsin vicinity (and adjacent portions of northern Illinois/Iowa)
    tonight. However, probabilities for this still appear below the
    minimum 10 percent threshold for a categorical thunder area.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for thunderstorms will remain minimal across the U.S. today
    through tonight.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Largely zonal mid-level flow currently extends across the CONUS,
    although upper troughing is just off the West Coast. Complex
    evolution is anticipated with this upper troughing throughout the
    period as a more progressive shortwave trough moves within its
    northern periphery and a shortwave within its southern periphery dig south/southeast. This will result in a bifurcation of the upper
    troughing, with the southern shortwave evolving into a cyclone off
    the central/southern CA coast. This evolution will result in
    persistent large-scale forcing for ascent, and associated mid-level
    cooling, along the northern/central CA Coast. Resulting
    thermodynamic profiles could support isolated lightning flashes with
    any deeper, more persistent convection. This appears most likely
    from this morning through the early afternoon.

    Additionally, a lead shortwave trough is ejecting across the Four
    Corners and expected to move through the central Plains and Mid MS
    Valley. Modest buoyancy is anticipated ahead of this trough across
    UT, southwest WY, and northwest CO, which could result in a few
    lightning flashes within any deeper convection associated with this
    wave. Low-level southwesterly flow will increase ahead of this wave
    as it moves across central Plains and into the Mid MS Valley.
    Associated warm-air advection coupled with cooling mid-level
    temperatures could result in enough elevated buoyancy for weak
    convection capable of producing lightning from southern MN across
    northern IA/southwest WI into northern IL. However, probabilities
    for this still appear below the minimum 10 percent threshold for a
    categorical thunder area.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities across the U.S. appear less than 10
    percent today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Thermodynamic profiles across the U.S. remain generally stable, or
    at least not appreciably conducive to convective development capable
    of producing lightning, and models indicate little potential for
    change today through tonight. Limited ongoing moisture return, off a
    still slowly modifying Gulf boundary-layer, appears likely to become
    cut off, as low-level flow takes on an increasing westerly component
    to the south and southwest of a modest cyclone forecast to migrate
    across the southern Great Lakes region. Increasing large-scale
    ascent, associated with secondary cyclogenesis near/offshore of the
    northern Mid Atlantic through southern New England coast by late
    tonight, may be accompanied by a substantive increase in
    thunderstorm development, but mostly ahead of the trailing cold
    front, near/east of the Gulf Stream.

    Upstream, models indicate that mid/upper flow will undergo
    amplification across the northern mid-latitudes of the Pacific into
    western North America. It appears that this may include at least
    one vigorous short wave impulse digging toward the Pacific
    Northwest, accompanied by a potentially notable convective band with
    embedded thunderstorm activity, but probably not quite reaching the
    coastal waters prior to 12Z Wednesday.

    Farther south, within larger-scale troughing digging across the
    southern mid- to subtropical latitude eastern Pacific, a relatively
    compact cyclonic mid-level circulation may evolve, with an
    associated cold core that could support a developing area of
    thunderstorm activity. However, before undergoing an
    east-northeastward acceleration toward northern Baja and the
    Southwestern international border vicinity, it appears that this
    will remain offshore through 12Z Wednesday.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities across the U.S. appear less than 10
    percent today through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows two low-amplitude shortwave
    troughs, one moving through the middle OH Valley and the other
    moving through the central Plains, embedded within a predominantly
    zonal regime that extends across the CONUS. Both of these waves will
    progress eastward throughout the day, with another shortwave
    dropping southeastward from Canadian Prairies through the northern
    Plains and Upper Midwest. Stable conditions will precede these
    waves, with any notable low-level moisture displaced well south over central/east TX and the Lower MS Valley.

    Farther west, current satellite imagery shows a deepening cyclone
    over central/southern CA coast. This cyclone is forecast to continue
    southward throughout much of the period before pivoting more
    southeastward and eventually eastward towards the northern Baja
    Peninsula. Deeper convection is anticipated in proximity to this
    cyclone, but is currently expected to remain offshore and/or farther
    south along the northern Baja Coast.

    Lastly, a lead shortwave trough is expected to progress quickly
    across the Pacific Northwest tonight, ahead of a deeper shortwave
    expected Wednesday. Cooling low to mid-level temperatures could
    result in shallow buoyancy ahead of this wave, which could result in
    sporadic flashes along the WA coast after 00Z. Current expectation
    is for lightning coverage to be less than 10%.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    A progressive upper-flow pattern will continue over the CONUS with
    some amplification occurring through tonight within split flow over
    the West. Convective potential will be essentially nil over the
    CONUS.

    A southern-stream shortwave trough off the coast of California will
    spread southeastward toward Baja, with any related
    thunderstorm-conducive environment expected to remain well offshore.
    Multiple shortwave troughs will cross or approach the Pacific
    Northwest tonight. Cooling mid-level temperatures may contribute to
    weak buoyancy and some potential for a few lightning flashes, but
    such potential is likely to remain below 10 percent.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Marginally severe storms are possible from late tonight into the
    early morning on Thursday from parts of west and northwest Texas
    northeastward into Oklahoma.

    ...West and Northwest Texas/Oklahoma...
    A mid-level trough will move quickly east-northeastward from the
    eastern Pacific this morning to the southern Plains tonight. Ahead
    of the system, a lee surface trough will develop across the High
    Plains, as winds become south to southeasterly over much of the
    southern Plains. In response, moisture advection will increase over
    the southern Plains, as a moist airmass spreads northwestward into
    parts of west-central and north-central Texas by midnight. Along the northwestern edge of this airmass, low-level convergence is forecast
    to increase after midnight, which will aid scattered thunderstorm
    development during the overnight period. Instability along a southwest-to-northeast corridor is forecast to remain weak, with
    MLCAPE peaking around 500 J/kg. In addition, a low-level capping
    inversion just the east of the instability axis will keep much of
    the convection elevated. In spite of these negative factors,
    effective shear will be in the 40 to 50 knot range, and 700-500 mb
    lapse rates are forecast to be between 7.5 and 8 C/km. This
    environment could support a marginal severe threat with cells that
    rotate. Hail and isolated severe wind gusts will be possible, mainly
    in the 08Z to 12Z timeframe.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHWEST
    TEXAS INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Marginally severe storms are possible from late tonight into the
    early morning on Thursday from parts of west and northwest Texas
    northeastward into Oklahoma.

    ...Southwest TX into Central OK...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a compact cyclone just off the
    coast of the northern Baja Peninsula. This cyclone is forecast to
    move quickly eastward across southern AZ/NM and northern Mexico
    throughout the day today, devolving into an open wave. This wave
    will likely pivot into a more negative tilt by early tomorrow as it
    moves across the southern High Plains. Strong mid-level flow will
    accompany this wave, spreading eastward/northeastward across much of
    the southern Plains and Ozark Plateau.

    Significant mass response, and associated airmass modification, will
    occur across the southern Plains ahead of the this low, with the
    low-level moisture (i.e. low 60s dewpoints) currently confined to
    the TX Coastal Plain and South TX likely reaching southern OK by
    early tomorrow. Expectation is for ascent attendant to the
    approaching shortwave to interact with the northwestern periphery of
    this moisture return during the last few hours of the period (i.e.
    08Z-12Z Wednesday), resulting in elevated thunderstorms from
    southwest TX into central OK. Buoyancy will be modest (i.e. MUCAPE
    from 500 to 1000 J/kg), fostered by a combination of steepening
    mid-level lapse rates and increased low to mid-level moisture.
    Strong deep-layer vertical shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear of 40 to 60
    kt) will be in place as well, supporting the potential that some of
    these thunderstorms are more robust/organized. Given the low-level
    stability, primary risk with the more organized storms is likely
    hail, but some isolated gusts maybe be strong enough to penetrate
    the low-level stability as well.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    A strong shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward through
    the Pacific Northwest today, followed closely by another southeastward-progressing shortwave that moves into northern CA.
    Cold mid-level temperatures will foster scant buoyancy, and the
    frontal band associated with this lead wave will likely feature some
    deeper convective elements capable of producing lightning.

    ...Southwest TX into Central OK...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave trough
    immediately west of Baja California while a progressive flow regime
    prevails across the northern half of the Lower 48. The
    aforementioned upper disturbance is forecast to quickly move east
    across the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts and into west/northwest TX
    by early Thursday morning.

    A reservoir of partially modified Gulf moisture (60s deg F surface
    dewpoints) resides over the coastal plain of TX this morning. As
    the upper trough approaches the southern Great Plains tonight,
    strengthening low-level flow will advect this moisture northwestward
    into parts of northwest TX into central OK during the 08-12 UTC
    period. Although the primary cyclone will remain near the
    CO-NM-OK-KS-TX border region while deepening considerably, the
    attendant warm front will serve as the main low-level feature of
    interest. Warm advection/isentropic lift will favor isolated to
    scattered showers and thunderstorms developing late tonight over
    west into northwest TX and eventually into central OK. Model-based
    soundings imply elevated parcels and MUCAPE ranging from 500-1000
    J/kg amidst strong deep-layer shear. An isolated risk for large
    hail may accompany the stronger storms along with the possibility of
    localized severe gusts.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few marginally severe storms may occur late tonight into Thursday
    morning mainly from northwest Texas into western Oklahoma.

    ...Discussion...
    Little change from the previous outlook thinking, as instability and
    lift are expected to develop late tonight toward the end of the
    period.

    A shortwave trough is currently over northern Baja CA, and this will
    move quickly eastward tonight, arriving into western TX by Thursday
    morning. Persistent southerly low-level flow will eventually bring
    60s F dewpoints into northern TX and OK, ahead of a developing cold
    front, with ascent increasing early Thursday morning after about
    09Z.

    Isolated elevated thunderstorms may develop ahead of the cold front
    into part of OK into far southern KS after 09Z, though this will
    depend on boundary layer moisture quality. Conditionally, a storm or
    two may produce hail as effective shear will be supportive.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few marginally severe storms may occur late tonight into Thursday
    morning from west and northwest Texas northeastward into Oklahoma.

    ...West and Northwest Texas/Oklahoma...
    A low pressure center is evident on water vapor over northern Baja
    California. This feature, and its associated mid-level trough will
    move east-northeastward across northern Mexico this evening, and
    into the southern Plains late tonight. Ahead of the trough,
    low-level moisture will spread northward from north Texas into
    Oklahoma, with the western edge of the moist airmass located from
    southwest Oklahoma southward into west-central Texas. Weak
    instability is expected to develop along the northwestern edge of
    this airmass, where a low-level jet will gradually strengthen. Lift
    associated with the jet will support isolated thunderstorm
    development, beginning after midnight in west-central Texas.
    Thunderstorms are expected to gradually increase in coverage, moving northeastward into southwest and central Oklahoma by late in the
    period.

    RAP forecast soundings around midnight show a stout cap in place
    from near the instability axis eastward, suggesting that any storms
    that can initiate will likely be elevated at first. Some of the
    cells could become surface-based later tonight, as the capped
    airmass shifts eastward due to the approaching mid-level trough.
    Forecast soundings from west-central Texas into far southwest
    Oklahoma have effective shear of 50 to 60 knots, with 700-500 mb
    lapse rates of 7 to 8 C/km. This could be enough for a marginal hail
    threat. For cells that become surface-based, a few isolated severe
    wind gusts will also be possible. The greatest potential for
    isolated severe should be in the 08Z to 12Z timeframe.

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

    AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with a threat for isolated severe wind gusts and a
    brief tornado will be possible today into tonight from parts of the
    southern Plains eastward into the mid Mississippi and lower Ohio
    Valleys.

    ...Southern Plains/Ozarks...
    At the start of the period, a mid-level trough and an associated jet
    streak will be located in the southern High Plains. An axis of weak
    instability is forecast from northwest Texas northeastward across
    Oklahoma. Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at 12Z along parts of
    this corridor, supported by a strong low-level jet. Forecast
    soundings near the instability axis this morning have MLCAPE around
    750 J/kg with 0-6 km shear in the 55 to 65 knot range. Low to
    mid-level lapse rates should be modest remaining in the 6 to 6.5
    C/km range. This should be enough for an isolated hail threat with
    cells that rotate. In addition, a fast northeastward storm motion
    could be enough to produce marginally severe winds at the surface. A
    brief tornado will also be possible. The isolated severe threat
    could persist into the afternoon as the line moves into the Ozarks.

    ...Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys...
    A mid-level trough, and an associated 55 to 65 knot low-level jet,
    will move quickly northeastward into the mid Mississippi Valley this
    afternoon. Ahead of the trough, strong moisture advection will take
    place, with surface dewpoints increasing into the upper 50s and
    lower 60s F over much of the mid Mississippi Valley. In response, an
    axis of weak instability is forecast to develop by afternoon from
    central Arkansas northeastward into south-central Illinois. A line
    of strong thunderstorms is expected to develop along the instability
    axis in the late afternoon and early evening. This line should move east-northeastward across the mid Mississippi and lower Ohio
    Valleys. RAP forecast soundings along and near the instability axis
    at 00Z have MLCAPE around 500 J/kg, with 0-6 km shear in the 60 to
    70 knot range. This, combined with large-scale ascent ahead of the
    trough, will support a marginal severe threat. Any line segment that
    can become organized could produce isolated severe wind gusts, and
    possibly a brief tornado.

    At this point, there is uncertainty as to where the greatest severe
    threat will be as the system ejects northeastward across the mid
    Mississippi Valley. It is possible that the potential for severe
    wind gusts could become maximized near the exit region of the
    mid-level jet streak early this evening from east-central Missouri
    across central Illinois into western Indiana. For this reason, have
    expanded the Marginal Risk area northeastward to account for this
    possibility.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with a threat for isolated severe wind gusts and a
    brief tornado will be possible today into tonight from parts of the
    southern Plains eastward into the low/mid Mississippi and lower Ohio
    Valleys.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough continues to move quickly eastward into the
    southern High Plains, with a lead vorticity maximum also noted on
    satellite imagery over northwest TX. Regional radar imagery shows a
    line of thunderstorms along the leading edge of this vorticity
    maximum. Expectation is for both the shortwave trough and lead
    vorticity maximum to continue quickly northeastward, resulting in
    strong forcing for ascent from OK through the Ozark Plateau and into
    the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys today. Low-level moisture advection
    ahead of this wave will support modest buoyancy, with thunderstorms
    anticipated across much of this region throughout the period.

    Another shortwave trough is dropping quickly southward through CA,
    and is expected to pivot eastward through southern CA and AZ this
    evening. Showers and thunderstorms are anticipated ahead of this
    wave as well.

    ...Southern Plains/Ozarks...
    As previously mentioned, a lead vorticity maximum is likely
    supporting the line of thunderstorms currently ongoing from
    southwest OK into southwest TX. Expectation is for this line to
    continue northeastward today, into an airmass that is quickly
    modifying amid strong low-level moisture advection. Many sites in OK
    are observing dewpoints 25 to 35 deg F higher than 24 hours ago.
    Thunderstorms within the line are currently elevated, but there
    could be a trend towards a more surface-based character over the
    next few hours amid a combination of increasing low-level moisture
    and cooling mid-level temperatures. This appears most likely from
    central OK through northeast OK into far southwest MO and far
    southeast KS, from around 13Z through 18Z. After 18Z, the quick
    progression of the shortwave will likely lead to an outpacing of the
    better low-level moisture return, with dewpoints across much of MO
    maxing out around 58-60 deg F.

    Given the robust shear already in place (recent KTLX VAD sampled
    over 35 kt of 0-1 km shear and over 55 kt of 0-6 km shear), this
    potential for surface-based storms will increase the overall risk
    for damaging wind gusts and/or a brief tornado. Recently issued MCD
    #0006 addresses the near-term severe potential across this region.

    ...Lower MO Valley into the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys...
    Low-level moisture will be lower here than areas farther south,
    likely remaining the 50s, but strong forcing for ascent and robust
    wind fields could still result in damaging gusts, particularly near
    and just ahead of the surface low forecast to move quickly
    northeastward from central KS through northwest MO, southern/eastern
    IA, and southern WI. Wind probabilities were expanded northwestward
    given anticipated track of the surface low. Strong gusts also remain
    possible along the cold front associated with this low, but limited
    low-level moisture and buoyancy should keep this time isolated as
    well.

    ...Southern AZ...
    A shortwave trough and associated jet streak are forecast to
    progress across AZ today. Scant low-level moisture will be in place
    ahead of this wave but cooling mid-level temperatures and modest
    mid-level moisture could still support limited buoyancy and the
    potential for isolated thunderstorms. Given the robust mid-level
    flow associated with this system, a few stronger gusts are possible.
    However, overall coverage is currently expected to remain below 5%.

    ...Mid-South/Lower MS Valley...
    Much of the region will remain free of convection until after 04Z
    when increasing low-level confluence may support isolated
    thunderstorms. Buoyancy will be modest, but vertical shear will be
    strong enough to support the potential for a few damaging gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN
    OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST
    ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe gusts are possible through midday across eastern
    portions of Oklahoma and Kansas into western parts of Missouri and
    northwest Arkansas. A more broad and isolated risk for damaging
    gusts and possibly a tornado will persist into tonight from the
    Ozark Plateau eastward into the low/mid Mississippi and lower Ohio
    Valleys.

    ...Ozark Plateau...
    Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a potent, negatively
    tilted shortwave trough and associated speed max/dry slot moving
    northeast across the KS-OK border. A broad moist conveyor ahead of
    the upper disturbance is contributing to a plume of 50s to lower 60s
    dewpoints from AR into MO ahead of a northeastward-migrating cyclone
    forecast to move from KS to northern Lower MI. A broken band of
    severe thunderstorms this morning is moving rapidly northeast posing
    primarily a severe-wind gust risk over western parts of the Ozark
    Plateau through the midday hours. Weaker buoyancy farther east will
    be partially offset by a strong northward flux of low-level moisture
    as the airmass slowly destabilizes beneath an extensive cloud
    canopy. It remains uncertain whether a focused and more
    concentrated risk for severe will persist into the afternoon across
    the Ozarks. Nonetheless, an established/mature convective band may
    continue to yield wind-damage potential given the strong kinematics.

    ...Lower MO Valley into the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys...
    Strengthening southerly low-level flow and the intensification of a
    LLJ (60-70 kt) will favor a gradual moistening from south to north
    across the region through the afternoon and into the evening.
    Forecast soundings later today into this evening show enlarged
    hodographs across portions of IL where meager buoyancy is eventually
    forecast to develop. Considered a small Slight-Risk but uncertainty
    in buoyancy magnitude and possible convective line-parallel shear
    lowers confidence for perhaps a more focused wind hazard this
    evening. However, have adjusted low-tornado probabilities farther
    north into central IL to the southeast of the evolving cyclone where
    weak surface-based buoyancy may develop.

    ...Mid-South/Lower MS Valley...
    Much of the region will remain free of convection until after 04Z
    when increasing low-level confluence may support isolated
    thunderstorms. Buoyancy will be modest, but vertical shear will be
    strong enough to support the potential for a few damaging gusts.

    ...Southern AZ...
    A shortwave trough and associated jet streak are forecast to
    progress across AZ today. Scant low-level moisture will be in place
    ahead of this wave but cooling mid-level temperatures and modest
    mid-level moisture could still support limited buoyancy and the
    potential for isolated thunderstorms. Given the robust mid-level
    flow associated with this system, a few stronger gusts are possible.
    However, overall coverage is currently expected to remain below 5%.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE MISSOURI...MISSISSIPPI...AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for damaging gusts and possibly a tornado will
    continue tonight from the Ozark Plateau eastward into the low/mid
    Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys.

    ...20z Update...
    The Slight Risk across eastern Oklahoma into southeast Kansas,
    western Missouri, and western Arkansas was removed with this update.
    The Marginal Risk was also trimmed behind ongoing convection. A
    broken line of storms continues eastward from southern Missouri into
    central Arkansas but has shown signs of weakening as it has outrun
    the better moisture to the south. Hi-res guidance from the HRRR and
    RRFS suggest redevelopment of stronger storms, and perhaps a
    supercell or two, will be possible across central and northeastern
    Arkansas later this afternoon.

    There are a few breaks in the cloud cover across central/southern
    Arkansas that could allow for pockets of heating by the afternoon,
    but overall thermal profiles appear meager, though deep layer shear
    will remain strong. This leads to some uncertainty in maintenance of
    any supercells that do develop and as such, a Marginal was
    maintained to support some isolated threat.

    Another location of interest for the evening will be across portions
    of Illinois, as mentioned in the previous outlook. Across
    south-central Illinois some better overlap of weak surface-based
    instability beneath the LLJ may occur later this evening. See
    previous discussion below for more information.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for damaging gusts and possibly a tornado will
    continue tonight from the Ozark Plateau eastward into the low/mid
    Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys.

    ...01z Update...

    Midlevel jet is forecast to strengthen in excess of 100kt as it
    translates across central IL late this evening. As this speed max
    shifts into lower MI the associated short-wave trough will advance
    into the upper Great Lakes region by 09/12z. Latest satellite
    imagery suggests the leading edge of large-scale ascent is shifting
    east of the MS River and this appears to be aiding a narrow band of
    weak convection immediately downstream from southeast MO to
    northeast IL. This activity has struggled to deepen/organize, though
    some increase appears plausible given the approaching trough. Strong
    height falls favor some upscale growth, but 00z sounding from ILX
    exhibited only modest lapse rates with meager MUCAPE. Despite the
    weak thermodynamic profiles, wind fields are very strong and favor
    organized rotating updrafts. Will continue MRGL risk for the
    aforementioned corridor as large-scale support is very favorable.

    Late tonight, scattered convection is expected to increase across
    the lower MS Valley. With large-scale forcing remaining well north
    of this region, the prospect for organized severe will be somewhat
    negated. Even so, some risk for strong gusts and perhaps a tornado
    will be noted with the most robust storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
    TEXAS TO THE CENTRAL GULF STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across southeast Texas into the
    central Gulf states.

    ...Southeast Texas to Central Gulf States...

    Midlevel speed max is forecast to translate through the base of the
    Four Corners trough into southeast NM at the start of the period
    before advancing into central OK by early evening. Subsequently,
    this feature will eject into southeast MO by 10/12z in response to a
    northern stream trough digging into the upper MS Valley overnight.

    Late this evening, surface front had progressed to a position from
    western IL-northern AR-southern OK. This boundary should continue
    sagging south, and 00z model guidance suggests a weak surface wave
    will develop along the trailing boundary over south-central TX by
    early afternoon. Some deepening should occur as a weak surface low
    advances across northern LA into MS late in the period. Early in the
    day the primary focus for convection will be along the cold front
    across the lower OH/TN Valley region into the lower MS Valley,
    primarily driven by low-level warm advection beneath a modest LLJ.
    While this early-day convection may pose some risk for damaging
    gusts and perhaps a tornado, the primary concern will occur later in
    the day as the secondary speed max ejects across the southern Plains
    toward southern MO.

    Current thinking is elevated thunderstorms should develop ahead of
    the ejecting speed max/short wave by 18z across south central TX.
    This initial activity will likely be elevated, but as storms advance
    downstream surface-based parcels will have negligible inhibition
    near the lower Sabine River Valley. Hail/wind will be the primary
    concern early with supercells. During the evening a marked increase
    in the LLJ is expected across the lower MS Valley into northern AL
    overnight. As convection advances east, stronger low-level shear
    will favor some risk for tornadoes. While supercells are expected, a considerable amount of convection is expected along the synoptic
    warm front, and this should limit northward extent of higher
    instability air mass.

    At this time it does not appear necessary to increase severe
    probabilities across the lower MS Valley into the central Gulf
    states, primarily due to the short wave ejecting well north of the higher-instability air mass.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
    TEXAS TO THE CENTRAL GULF STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across southeast Texas into the
    central Gulf states.

    ...MS/AL This morning...
    Multiple clusters of thunderstorms are ongoing this morning across
    parts of MS. This activity is in a moist surface air mass with
    dewpoints in the mid 60s, and MLCAPE values of 500-1000 J/kg. VAD
    profiles suggest sufficient low-level shear for some concern for a
    tornado or two this morning as activity tracks northeastward into
    western AL. However, model forecast soundings suggest a warm layer
    in the 600-700mb layer that is likely limiting updraft strength and
    the overall severe risk.

    ...TX/LA This Afternoon...
    Strong, broad southwesterly flow aloft will be present across much
    of the southeastern United States today, with several small
    perturbations embedded within the flow. A quasi-stationary front is
    currently positioned from south TX into southern AR. The air mass
    southeast of the front will destabilize this afternoon, leading to
    scattered thunderstorm development. MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg and
    sufficient deep-layer shear will pose a risk a few strong/severe
    storms capable of damaging winds and hail.

    ...LA/MS This Afternoon/Evening...
    By late afternoon, ample daytime heating/destabilization will lead
    to scattered thunderstorms over LA, spreading northeastward into MS.
    Mid-level lapse rates will be weak, but slowly strengthening
    low-level winds and shear will pose a risk of a few severe storms
    capable of damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.

    ...Southern MS/AL Overnight...
    The consensus of CAM solutions suggest that storms will become
    focused along a surface baroclinic zone late tonight from southeast
    MS into southern AL. During this period, most models suggest
    significant strengthening of the southerly low-level jet, with
    forecast hodographs becoming increasingly favorable for supercells
    and a few tornadoes - despite marginal thermodynamic support.

    Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast across southeast Texas
    into the central Gulf states. A few tornadoes, damaging wind gusts,
    and large hail are possible through tonight.

    ...Southern LA northeastward into MS/AL this afternoon...
    A southerly fetch of fully modified Gulf air (surface dewpoints near
    70 deg F) within a weak but persistent warm-air advection regime
    over the central Gulf Coast will probably yield a continuation of
    isolated to scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon. Some
    breaks in the stratus will promote additional heating of the moist
    and weakly unstable airmass. Some weakening of low-level shear has
    been observed this morning via the Jackson, MS and Hammond, LA
    WSR-88D VADs, and this trend may continue through the mid afternoon
    before strengthening later today and into tonight. In the meantime,
    an isolated threat for damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado
    may continue with a stronger storm or two.

    ...TX/LA/MS/AL this afternoon into the overnight...
    Visible-satellite imagery this morning shows an extensive
    multi-layer shield of clouds across south-central TX northeastward
    into western LA. Ahead of a larger mid-level trough moving east
    across the southern Rockies into the southern Plains, a couple of
    minor disturbances embedded within strong southwesterly flow are
    forecast to move northeastward from TX into the lower MS Valley. In
    the low levels, a quasi-stationary front will serve as the northwest
    delimiter of the moist/unstable sector before gradually moving
    southward across east TX into the Ark-La-Miss later tonight. The
    air mass southeast of the front will destabilize this afternoon,
    leading to eventual scattered thunderstorms with MLCAPE of 1000-1500
    J/kg. This initial activity later this afternoon over TX into LA
    will gradually shift eastward into LA/MS this evening and MS/AL
    during the overnight. Ample deep-layer shear will pose a risk a few strong/severe storms capable of damaging winds and hail. Towards
    the late afternoon over east TX and western LA and especially
    through the evening from southwest LA into central MS, 700-mb flow
    (per EC model guidance) is forecast to intensify. This
    strengthening of the low to mid-level flow and enlarging of the
    hodographs will probably coincide with the primary period of concern
    for severe storms. A few supercells capable of a tornado risk will
    be the main hazard. However, a threat for scattered damaging gusts accompanying other organized storm structures and possibly a hail
    threat will also continue into the overnight.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EAST TEXAS TO
    CENTRAL ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast across southeast Texas
    into the central Gulf states tonight. A few tornadoes and damaging
    wind gusts are possible.

    ...01z Update...

    Notable short-wave trough is beginning to eject northeast across the
    central Plains early this evening. Water vapor supports this with
    the center of circulation near DDC. 500mb speed max affiliated with
    this feature will strengthen and translate across north TX-southern
    MO-central IN by the end of the period. This evolution will result
    in negligible height changes along/near the Gulf coast overnight.

    As this feature advances east, LLJ is expected to increase across LA
    later this evening, strengthening into northern AL by 10/12z.
    Low-level warm advection has proven instrumental in convective
    development much of the day with scattered thunderstorms persisting
    across the lower MS Valley. However, some increase in convection
    appears to be occurring across east TX as the southern influence of
    the ejecting short wave glances this region. Earlier thoughts
    regarding severe potential remain. 00z sounding from LCH exhibits
    strong shear and ample buoyancy for supercells. Latest thinking is scattered-numerous showers/thunderstorms will persist along a
    corridor from northern LA into central MS with the potential for
    some uptick in intensity overnight as the LLJ strengthens.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF STATES AND SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms are forecast across the central Gulf
    Coast and Southeast.

    ...Central Gulf Coast/Southeast...

    Split stream currently noted over the CONUS will gradually evolve
    into a deep long-wave trough over the eastern U.S. by the end of the
    period. Latest water-vapor imagery supports this with a pronounced
    short-wave trough digging southeast into the upper OH Valley, and a
    less amplified short wave ejecting northeast toward the lower OH
    Valley. Strong large-scale height falls will spread across the upper
    Midwest/OH Valley region during the day, but much weaker
    falls/forcing will be noted across low latitudes.

    Late this evening, modified Gulf air mass had returned to much of
    the lower MS Valley where upper 60s-lower 70s dew points are
    observed south of the synoptic warm front. Considerable amount of
    convection has been noted along/north of this boundary and this
    should prevent appreciable air mass recovery across the northern
    Gulf states through the period. Over the last few hours, back edge
    of the convection along the cold front has gradually increased in
    intensity across southeast TX. This front will advance east into MS
    by the start of the period, then shift across AL/northwestern GA by
    early evening as the weak surface low lifts into the middle
    Atlantic.

    One area of concern is the amount of convection currently observed
    across the northern Gulf states. This may suppress the northern
    extent of severe potential a bit more south than currently reflected
    in this forecast. If buoyancy can not return to this region then an
    adjustment may be warranted at 13z. Otherwise, strong shear and
    seasonally moist boundary layer suggest a risk for tornadoes with
    any supercells that develop across this region. The primary concern
    for wind/tornadoes will be through early afternoon, after which the
    LLJ will shift well northeast of this area and forcing/low-level
    shear will weaken.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms are forecast this morning and early
    afternoon from LA/MS into AL/GA.

    ...LA/MS/AL/GA...
    Strong and deep southwesterly flow is present today over much of the
    southeast US, with a well-defined baroclinic zone extending from
    central LA across parts of MS/AL into northern GA. Thunderstorms
    have been intensifying in the past few hours across southeast MS,
    where multiple supercell structures and a couple of confirmed
    tornadoes have occurred. This activity is expected to persist for
    several more hours, tracking across parts of central AL and
    eventually into western GA. Low-level winds and shear have become
    sufficiently strong to support risk of a strong tornado or two along
    this corridor.

    By early afternoon, storms will spread eastward into GA and upstate
    SC, where very weak instability will limit the severe threat.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EAST-CENTRAL

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated risk for damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado will
    continue through the early afternoon from the central Gulf Coast
    northeastward into the southern Appalachians.

    ...MS/AL/GA/FL Panhandle...
    Radar mosaic late this morning shows an extensive convective band
    from the SC/GA/NC border southwestward to the MS coast. The airmass immediately ahead of the squall line is seasonably moist with
    dewpoints ranging from near 70 deg F along the coast to the lower
    60s in northeast GA. Relatively weak lapse rates and meager
    buoyancy were sampled by the 12 UTC FFC (Atlanta, GA) raob.
    However, the more north-south segments of the squall line are more
    favorably oriented to strong southwesterly mean flow fields across
    the region. As a result, the risk for damaging gusts and perhaps a
    brief tornado or two will continue through the early afternoon near
    the AL-GA border. A lower perceived risk for severe likely exists
    farther northeast into northern GA/Upstate SC where buoyancy is
    weaker, and farther southwest into southern AL and the Gulf Coast
    where the convective line is further displaced from stronger
    forcing/low-level mass response.

    A frontal segment pushing east across the OH Valley and Mid South
    will consolidate with a front segment along the northwest Gulf
    Coast, and sweep east across the much of the Southeast through
    tonight and reach the FL Big Bend and Carolina coast by daybreak.

    Severe storms are not expected through Sunday morning.

    ...20Z Update...
    Water vapor imagery shows the primary upper low within the Upper
    Midwest. The strongest forcing for ascent should continue through
    parts of the Ohio Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic/New England later
    this evening into the overnight. Lightning activity has gradually
    diminished in the Florida Panhandle/Southeast as convection has
    encountered less buoyant air and mid-level ascent lifts northward.
    This, coupled with weak low-level flow sampled by the KEVX/KTLH
    VADs, suggests the threat for severe weather has diminished. Severe probabilities have been removed with this update.

    southeastward out the Canadian Prairies into the Upper Midwest this
    evening.

    A few lightning flashes could occur with the elevated convection
    expected tonight from TX Rio Grande Valley into the TX Hill Country
    as the upper low associated with the modifying Rex Block progresses
    across central Mexico. A flash or two could also occur along the
    southeast FL Coast after 04Z, where low-level convergence and
    moderate low-level moisture may result in sporadic deep convection.
    However, overall thunderstorm coverage is currently forecast to be
    less than 10% in both of these areas.

    Largely cyclonic flow aloft is anticipated over much of the central
    and eastern CONUS today, while a modifying Rex block configuration
    evolves over the western CONUS. Stable conditions are forecast
    across the majority of the CONUS, with offshore trajectories
    persisting across the Southeast and a reinforcing surge of cold air
    across the northern and central Plains as shortwave trough drops
    southeastward out the Canadian Prairies into the Upper Midwest this
    evening.

    A few lightning flashes could occur with the elevated convection
    expected tonight from TX Rio Grande Valley into the TX Hill Country
    as the upper low associated with the modifying Rex Block progresses
    across central Mexico. A flash or two could also occur along the
    southeast FL Coast after 04Z, where low-level convergence and
    moderate low-level moisture may result in sporadic deep convection.
    However, overall thunderstorm coverage is currently forecast to be
    less than 10% in both of these areas.

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

    ...Synopsis...

    Dry and stable conditions will persist across most of the CONUS
    today. However, some modest moisture return is forecast across far
    southern FL as a lobe of low surface pressure extends southward
    along the Atlantic Seaboard. Generally warm temperatures through the
    midlevels will limit instability and result in poor lapse rates.
    Nevertheless, increasing moisture and modest forcing along a
    developing sea breeze during the afternoon/evening could support a
    couple of lightning flashes near the immediate coast or just
    offshore the southeast FL Peninsula and portions of the Keys. Severe
    storms are not expected.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper pattern is expected to undergo significant amplification today
    as a series of shortwave troughs act to deepen the upper troughing
    across the central and eastern CONUS, and the upper ridging over the
    western CONUS remains in place. Primary amplification will be
    associated with a pair of phased shortwave troughs moving through
    the western periphery of the upper troughing over the Plains and
    Upper Midwest.

    Continental airmass associated with these shortwaves will also act
    to reinforce the dry and stable conditions already in place across
    the majority of the central and eastern CONUS. The only exception
    currently is across far south FL and the FL Keys, where remaining
    low-level moisture (i.e. dewpoints in the upper 60s) is supporting
    modest buoyancy. This buoyancy coupled with low-level convergence in
    the vicinity of the southeast FL coast and the Keys is fostering
    some deeper convective cores. A few lightning flashes have recently
    been observed near the middle Keys, and the expectation is for
    occasional flashes to persist from the Keys into the far southeast
    FL Coast throughout the day.

    Lastly, broad ascent is anticipated across the Southeast
    tonight/early tomorrow, resulting from a combination of lift
    associated with the southernmost shortwave moving through upper
    trough and lift attendant to another shortwave moving from TX into
    the Lower MS Valley. Dry and stable low-levels will keep the region
    free of sustained deep convection, but some forecast soundings do
    show limited and shallow buoyancy above 700 mb. As such, there is
    low potential for a flash or two across this region.

    ...Synopsis...

    A large-scale upper trough will deepen and pivot eastward over the

    base of the large-scale trough will move across the eastern Gulf and
    FL today. This will provide large-scale ascent atop a stalled
    frontal boundary across the southern FL Peninsula. Adequate moisture
    will support modest buoyancy. However, lackluster lapse rates/warm
    temperatures through the midlevels will preclude strong-storm
    potential, though a few lightning flashes will be possible.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible across south Florida and the

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Deep upper troughing extends over much central and eastern CONUS.
    This troughing features two phased shortwave troughs, one moving
    southeastward through the Upper Midwest and the other moving through
    OK and AR. Both of these shortwaves are expected to continue southeastward/eastward throughout the period as the parent upper
    troughing also shifts gradually eastward. Upper ridging will persist
    across the western CONUS, resulting in an amplified ridge/trough
    pattern over the CONUS by early tomorrow.

    Stable conditions are anticipated across the majority of the CONUS,
    as the progression of the aforementioned shortwaves leads to a
    reinforcing surge of dry, continental air. The only exception is
    across south FL, where modest moisture (i.e. dewpoints in the upper
    60s/low 70s) remain in place along the southeast coast. A few
    thunderstorms are possible in this vicinity today, fostered by
    limited buoyancy amid weak low-level convergence close to a weak
    surface low. Additionally, low-level moisture and convergence are
    forecast to increase as the southernmost shortwave trough mentioned
    earlier progresses across the Gulf. Resulting increase in lift and
    buoyancy could result in a few isolated thunderstorms along the
    southwest FL Coast early tomorrow morning.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...South Florida...

    Midlevel short-wave trough is digging southeast across the northern
    Gulf basin late this evening. As this feature digs toward the FL
    Peninsula, strong cold front will surge to near the southern tip of
    the Peninsula by 18z, then across the straights by late afternoon.
    Latest radar data exhibits shallow convection across the eastern
    Gulf basin, but minimal lighting has been noted with this activity.
    HREF guidance suggests scattered convection will develop along the
    boundary as it surges southeast, but forecast instability is not
    particularly noteworthy, and lapse rates will remain poor. Earlier
    thoughts regarding the prospect for thunderstorms continues. While a
    flash of lightning can not be ruled out, most updrafts will remain
    too weak/shallow to justify a 10 percent probability of thunder
    during the day1 period.

    ...South FL...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a persistent large upper trough
    over the eastern states, with a significant shortwave trough digging southeastward over LA/MS. This feature will quickly rotate across
    the Gulf and approach FL by early afternoon. Strong large-scale
    ascent ahead of the feature could be sufficient for showers and
    isolated thunderstorms in the moist and marginally unstable airmass
    along/ahead of a cold front over far southern FL, the Straits, and
    near-shore waters. This threat will end by early afternoon as the
    front moves off the east coast. Poor mid-level lapse rates and
    marginal instability should limit any severe threat.

    An upper-level trough will move across the mid-Atlantic seaboard
    this evening, as another trough moves across the northern Plains.
    Northwesterly mid-level flow will be in place across much of the
    U.S. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will move across
    the Southeast as a cold front advances across the central Plains. A
    cold and dry airmass will remain in place over much of the nation,
    being unfavorable for thunderstorm development through tonight.

    Large-scale upper troughing will persist today over the central and

    quickly east-northeastward across the Deep South and Atlantic
    Seaboard through this evening as a secondary/reinforcing cold front
    advances southeastward across the remainder of the central Gulf
    Coast states and FL Peninsula. Low-topped convection ongoing this
    morning over the east-central Gulf will struggle to attain
    sufficient height to support charge separation and lightning as it
    approaches the west-central FL Peninsula (Tampa vicinity),
    especially given the poor lapse rates and multiple stable layers
    aloft observed in the 12Z TBW sounding. Generally 60s surface
    dewpoints are in place this morning ahead of the front across south
    FL and the Keys. As daytime heating occurs, adequate instability
    should develop to support isolated thunderstorms over these areas.
    Low-level flow will veer through the afternoon with the approach of
    the cold front, and greater thunderstorm potential should eventually
    focus offshore. With poor lapse rates aloft limiting updraft
    strength, severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. this evening and
    tonight.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A large-scale upper-level trough will move across the east-central
    U.S. tonight, as a cyclonic flow pattern remains in place over much
    of nation. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will be
    located over the Great Plains and Southeast. This dry and cold
    airmass will make conditions unfavorable for thunderstorms today and
    tonight across the continental U.S.

    Thunderstorms are not expected in the U.S. today or tonight.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A large-scale cyclonic mid-level flow pattern will be in place
    across the U.S. today. At the surface, a large area of high pressure
    will remain over the Gulf Coast region, as another cold front
    advances southeastward into the Southeast. Behind this front, a
    large surface high will settle into the central states. This will
    reinforce a cold and dry airmass, making conditions unfavorable for thunderstorm development over the continental U.S. today and
    tonight.

    this short-wave trough will continue to support showers and a
    lightning strike or two across the area tonight.

    A subtle short-wave trough and associated mid-level speed maximum
    will move northeast from the Gulf across northern Florida within the subtropical jet. Modest large-scale ascent associated with the right
    entrance region of this speed max may support showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two very late tonight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms will be possible across southeast Florida on
    Thursday, however, severe weather is not expected.

    ... Synopsis ...

    A strong mid-level short-wave trough originating across the Canadian
    Prairies will dig southeast toward the US Great Lakes on Thursday.
    This will maintain broadly cyclonic flow across much of the United
    States. In the wake of this trough, increasingly confluent mid-level
    flow will maintain a strong arctic surface high as it begins to move
    south into the Plains.

    ... Southeast Florida ...

    Modest convergence along a remnant surface boundary may realize a
    weakly unstable environment to support showers and perhaps a few
    weak thunderstorms. Although the bulk of the activity should remain
    offshore in the Atlantic, a couple of lightning strikes will be
    possible across portions of far southeast Florida.

    ... Southern California ...

    A vigorous closed low over the eastern Pacific will continue to dig
    southeast, just off the California coast. The combination of modest
    large-scale ascent downstream of the nose of a cyclonically curved
    mid-level jet, cold mid-level temperatures, and onshore flow may
    support a couple of lightning strikes within any orographically

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across southeast Florida
    today, but severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Surface high pressure will remain dominant today across much of the
    Plains into the MS/OH Valleys amid persistent upper troughing over
    the central/eastern CONUS. As such, overall thunderstorm potential
    should remain generally low, with perhaps a couple exceptions.
    Isolated thunderstorms appear possible across parts of
    coastal/southeast FL along/near a weak inverted surface trough amid
    greater low-level moisture and modest buoyancy.

    An upper low over the eastern Pacific should develop
    south-southeastward through the period off the coast of southern
    CA/northern Baja. Cool temperatures aloft may support weak MUCAPE
    and very isolated lightning flashes with convection that should
    remain mostly offshore this afternoon. Overall coverage of
    thunderstorms appears less than 10% across coastal southern CA.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not expected across the country through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Lightning activity off the southeastern FL coast has diminished over
    the past several hours amid weakening broad-scale ascent and modest
    mid-level height rises. While sporadic weak convection remains
    possible off the coast, the overall thunderstorm potential appears
    sufficiently limited to warrant removal of thunder probabilities.

    Elsewhere across the country, 00z RAOBs sampled mostly dry and
    stable conditions that will largely mitigate thunderstorm potential.
    A few recent model runs hint that 50-100 MUCAPE may develop across
    southern AZ/NM as broad-scale lift increases ahead of the upper wave
    currently over southern CA. Forecast equilibrium temperatures near
    -20 C could support sporadic lightning flashes during the 08-12 UTC
    time frame. However, consensus among guidance is very limited on
    this potential, and the recent 00z TUS sounding suggests substantial
    moistening within the lowest 300 mb is required before thunderstorms
    can be supported.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered weak thunderstorm activity is likely today into tonight
    across the Texas Big Bend region into central Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts increasing ascent across
    northern Mexico into the Southwest/Big Bend region of TX as an upper
    low off the southern CA coast begins to slowly shift east. At the
    surface, a cold front continues to push south across the Plains with
    modest moisture return ongoing along the TX Coastal Plain.
    Precipitation is expected to slowly increase from the Big Bend
    region northeastward into the southern Plains/Ozark Plateau through
    the day as isentropic ascent strengthens across central TX. Isolated
    to scattered thunderstorm development is anticipated along and north
    of the cold front as it impinges on a plume of returning moisture.

    ...Big Bend Region to Central Texas...
    Moisture return of mid 50s to low 60s dewpoints along and south of
    the I-10 corridor and into the Big Bend region is expected by
    evening and should support a swath of 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE.
    Scattered thunderstorm development is expected along the front
    across the Edwards Plateau by early evening, spreading east as the
    front pushes further into the unstable air mass. While a few storms
    may initially be surface-based, northeastward storm motions will
    quickly displace any deep convection onto the cool side of the
    boundary. Wind profiles are expected to strengthen through the day
    in response to the approaching upper wave, and could support
    effective shear values on the order of 40 knots. Despite this, a
    combination of modest buoyancy profiles (lifted indices generally -2
    to -3 C), rapid undercutting by the front, and a propensity for
    storm interactions/upscale growth should largely mitigate the
    potential for severe convection.

    A few CAM solutions, notably the 00z HRRR, hint at the potential for
    upscale growth of a surface-based convective cluster as it
    propagates eastward along the front with an attendant threat for
    damaging winds. While plausible given the aforementioned CAPE/shear
    parameter space, the lack of supporting signal in other CAM
    solutions and ensemble/calibrated guidance, along with unfavorable
    phasing with the diurnal cycle, suggest that this is a relatively
    low probability scenario.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered weak thunderstorm activity is likely today into tonight
    across the Texas Big Bend region into central Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low off
    the northern Baja California coast, with a subtle lead shortwave
    moving into northwest Mexico and modest shortwave ridging from
    central Mexico into southeast AZ/southwest NM. Largely zonal flow
    persists across much of the central and eastern CONUS.

    Surface analysis reveals an expansive 1048 mb high extending from
    the southern Canadian Prairies through the central Plains, mid MS
    Valley, and much of the OH Valley. Very cold temperatures accompany
    this high, and an intense cold front is currently pushing southward
    across the TX Panhandle, northern OK, and northern AR. This same
    front is pushing southeastward across the middle OH Valley.

    ...Big Bend Region into North/Central Texas...
    Some modest low-level moisture advection is ongoing ahead of the
    cold front from the TX Coastal Plain into the TX Hill Country. This
    advection is forecast to continue throughout the day, likely
    bringing upper 50s/low 60s dewpoints as far northwest as the Edwards
    Plateau before interacting with the front this afternoon. Heating
    will be tempered by abundant cloud cover and mid-level lapse rates
    will be poor. Even so, the anticipated low-level moisture coupled
    with cold mid-level temperatures should result in a relatively
    confined area of moderate buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE 500-1000 J/kg)
    tonight. Additionally, deep-layer vertical shear will be strong,
    resulting in environmental conditions that could support a
    strong/marginally severe storm or two. However, the overall threat
    will be mitigated by the undercutting nature of the cold front and
    likely storm interactions. The limited duration and isolated nature
    of the severe threat currently precludes the need for probabilities.

    Farther north and west, a large area of precipitation is expected to
    develop behind the front, supported by the strengthening
    southwesterly flow aloft and associated broad isentropic ascent.
    Cooling mid-level temperatures may result in minimal buoyancy
    (mostly after 03Z), with a few deeper convective elements within the precipitation shield capable of producing lightning amid freezing
    rain and/or sleet.

    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today.

    ...Northwest/North Central Gulf Coast...

    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low
    off the Baja Peninsula. This feature is forecast to eject across the
    central Baja around mid day as a 500mb speed max rounds the base of
    the trough, then ejects into northeast Mexico by 25/06z. In response
    to this speed max, a weak surface low should develop along the polar
    front over the northwest Gulf basin, then lift northeast across
    southeast LA into southern MS late in the period. Latest model
    guidance suggests modified Gulf air mass will return to the northern
    Gulf coast ahead of this weak surface low, but forecast soundings
    depict a boundary layer that most likely will not recover adequately
    for surface-based convection. While MUCAPE will increase ahead of
    the front, any thunderstorms that form will likely be at least
    slightly elevated in nature.

    Early in the period there is some concern for a few robust
    thunderstorms near the TX Gulf coast. However, polar front will
    surge offshore near the start of the day1 and the primary concern
    for organized storms will be quickly shunted southeast off the
    coast. At this time the probability for severe thunderstorms appears
    too low to warrant a MRGL Risk.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today.

    ...Southern Plains/Lower MS Valley/Southeast...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low just
    off the coast of the central Baja Peninsula. Deep southwesterly flow
    aloft extends northeastward from this low across Mexico and the
    southern Plains before joining the more confluent, single-stream southwesterlies in place from the MS Valley eastward.

    A subtle shortwave trough is currently progressing northeastward
    across central TX within the belt of stronger flow preceding the
    upper low, contributing to some deeper convective cores over the
    region. Expectation is for this shortwave to continue northeastward,
    resulting in an expansion of precipitation downstream. Forecast
    soundings do show some minimal buoyancy, supporting the potential
    for some deeper convective cores capable of lightning. Highest
    thunderstorm chances will be concentrated across southern LA, but
    low probabilities also exist farther north where low-level profiles
    will be cold enough for freezing rain and/or sleet.

    The Baja upper low is forecast to progress eastward throughout the
    day, moving across central Mexico and reaching central TX by early
    tomorrow morning. Evolution of this low will encourage northeastward progression of a surface low along the surging arctic cold front.
    This will take the low from its current location over deep south TX
    quickly northeastward over the northwest Gulf basin, across southern
    LA and to the central AL/MS border vicinity. Strong low-level
    southerly flow is anticipated ahead of the upper low and associated
    surface low as well, with this overall evolution contributing to
    rapid airmass modification from the central Gulf Coast into central
    AL and MS. Even with this modification, most forecast soundings
    depict a boundary layer that does not recover adequately for
    surface-based convection.

    General expectation is for ascent attendant to this system to
    support another round of precipitation beginning over east TX after
    06Z before expanding northeastward with time. Some very modest
    buoyancy is possible atop a strong warm noise, with isolated
    elevated thunderstorms possible. This thunder potential includes
    areas from east TX across northern/central LA into northern MS where
    surface temperatures will be below freezing, suggesting some
    lightning is possible with mixed winter precipitation.

    ...Southwest...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to progress cyclonically from central
    CA into AZ during the period. Cold mid-level temperatures combined
    with ascent from the shortwave will support the potential for a few
    isolated thunderstorms across central and southeast AZ and southwest
    NM from the late afternoon through tonight.

    The primary surface cold front has pushed off the mid/upper TX Gulf
    coast, where scattered thunderstorms are ongoing. As the primary
    upper trough approaches later tonight, increasing southerly
    low-level winds ahead of the front will transport Gulf moisture
    northward into parts of southeast LA and southern MS/AL. This will
    result in some destabilization and increase in low-level/deep-layer
    vertical shear. Despite a slowly improving environment for strong
    convection, the main upper forcing is expected to lag to the west of
    this region until after 12z. Therefore, will maintain
    less-than-marginal severe probabilities for the overnight period.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.

    ...20Z Update...
    Only minor changes to the thunderstorm forecast were made based on
    current observations. Cold air remains in place across the lower
    Mississippi Valley this afternoon with ongoing and expected
    precipitation reinforcing this airmass through Sunday morning. As
    previously mentioned, a slow improvement in the environment is
    possible from southeast Louisiana into southern Mississippi and
    western Alabama. Given the current observations, it may take longer
    to move warm/moist air inland than expected. Confidence in this
    occurring before 12Z Sunday remains too low for severe
    probabilities. See the previous forecast for additional information.

    ...LA/MS/AL Overnight...
    The primary surface cold front has pushed off the mid/upper TX Gulf
    coast, where scattered thunderstorms are ongoing. As the primary
    upper trough approaches later tonight, increasing southerly
    low-level winds ahead of the front will transport Gulf moisture
    northward into parts of southeast LA and southern MS/AL. This will
    result in some destabilization and increase in low-level/deep-layer
    vertical shear. Despite a slowly improving environment for strong
    convection, the main upper forcing is expected to lag to the west of
    this region until after 12z. Therefore, will maintain
    less-than-marginal severe probabilities for the overnight period.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Southern-stream upper low is beginning to eject across northern
    Mexico. Latest water-vapor imagery depicts this feature well and
    scattered thunderstorms have developed ahead of the primary midlevel
    vort just south of the international border. Isolated thunderstorms
    are noted north of the border across southeast AZ, but this activity
    should gradually weaken over the next few hours. However, stronger
    forcing is expected to aid elevated convection that will spread
    across portions of far West TX this evening and thunderstorm
    probabilities will reflect this risk through at least 06z tonight.
    Downstream, warm advection will continue to be the primary mechanism
    for more sporadic thunderstorms atop the cooler polar air mass.
    Additionally, boundary layer destabilization will be retarded across
    the lower MS Valley through 12z, and for this reason robust
    thunderstorms are not forecast.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the eastern Gulf
    Coast states this morning and afternoon. Damaging gusts and a few
    tornadoes are the main concerns.

    ...01z Update...

    Southern Plains short-wave trough is forecast to eject across the
    Arklatex early in the period as a 100+kt 500mb speed max translates
    across northern MS, then increases to near 130kt over WV by 26/00z.
    Modest midlevel height falls will spread across the Gulf states and
    a strong LLJ will respond just downstream from northern AL into the
    Middle Atlantic. Associated polar front will surge into MS/southern
    LA by sunrise then shift into AL by 18z. Latest model guidance
    suggests modified Gulf air mass will advance inland ahead of the
    surging boundary such that weak buoyancy will develop within roughly
    100mi of the Gulf coast. Forecast soundings suggest SBCAPE on the
    order of 500 J/kg could be noted prior to frontal passage where
    surface dew points rise into the mid-upper 60s. Given the deep layer
    shear, convection that develops within this environment would have
    some potential to organize with some supercell risk. For these
    reasons have maintained SLGT risk near the Gulf coast to account for morning-afternoon thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. Damaging
    winds and perhaps a few tornadoes are the primary concerns.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN AL...SOUTHWEST GA...AND THE FL PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Southeast
    states this morning and afternoon. Damaging gusts and a few
    tornadoes are the main concerns.

    ...Portions of the Southeast States...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a southern-stream shortwave
    trough moving across the southern Plains and into the more
    single-stream confluent flow across the eastern CONUS. Surface
    analysis places the low associated with this shortwave over the
    central MS/AL border vicinity. A cold front extends from this low
    southwestward through southeast LA and into the western Gulf.
    Combination of these features compose the large winter storm system
    that is impacting much of the central and eastern CONUS.

    Recent regional radar imagery and surface observations reveal an
    extensive area of anafrontal showers and thunderstorms from east TX
    into MS and TN Valley. Much of this precipitation is falling as
    either freezing rain or sleet, with sporadic lightning accompanying
    this winter precipitation across east TX, northern/central LA, and western/northwestern MS. Currently, the warm sector, which extends
    from southeast LA across southern AL and southern MS into the FL
    Panhandle, is free of any thunderstorms. This is expected to change
    throughout the morning as continued moisture advection further
    modifies the airmass and modest buoyancy develops ahead of the
    advancing cold front. Despite the fast progression of the cold
    front, strong deep-layer vertical shear should allow for the
    maintenance of deep convection along the frontal zone once it begins
    to encounter the modest buoyancy. Additionally, the strong vertical
    shear should also allow for some organization/rotation within any
    deeper, more persistent updrafts.

    Damaging gusts appear to be the primary severe risk, with the risk
    concentrated from southern AL and the western FL Panhandle into
    southwest GA and the central FL Panhandle where the best
    thermodynamics (i.e. 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE) are forecast.
    Low-level shear is strong enough to support a tornado risk in this
    area as well, with the linear nature of the convection favoring
    brief cell-in-line/QLCS circulations (in contrast to a more
    discrete, supercellular mode). A few discrete cells ahead of the
    line cannot be entirely ruled out. However, limited residence time
    due to the fast-moving front and likely shallow character due to
    limited buoyancy should prevent these updrafts from maturing.

    Strong 500mb speed max is translating across WV early this evening.
    As a result, primary corridor of warm advection is now focusing
    across the Middle Atlantic/southern New England where negligible
    buoyancy is noted. Deep convection has been confined to the trailing
    cold front across portions of the Southeast, and lightning with this
    activity has been decreasing over the last few hours. While 00z
    sounding from JAX exhibits around 300 J/kg MLCAPE, low-level
    convergence will gradually focus off the Atlantic coast later this
    evening as the front surges across this region. Given the limited
    instability, and the primary focus for ascent well north of this
    region, severe probabilities appear low the rest of tonight.

    Recent surface analysis centers an expansive 1040 mb high over OK.
    Cold and stable airmass and offshore trajectories associated with
    this high will preclude thunderstorm development across much of the
    central and eastern CONUS. The only exception is along and ahead of
    a decaying cold front as it moves through central and southern FL.
    Regional radar imagery currently shows some deeper convection just
    ahead of this front over central FL, where the dewpoints are in the
    70s. However, even with this low-level moisture in place, more than
    isolated deep convection appears unlikely due to warm mid-level
    temperatures and associated poor lapse rates. A few deeper updrafts
    capable of lightning could still occur briefly, particularly on the
    southeast FL Coast where high temperatures will reach the low 80s,
    but overall lightning coverage is still expected to be less than 10
    percent.

    Thunderstorms are unlikely today.

    ...Synopsis...
    Several shortwave troughs are forecast to progress eastward today
    within the cyclonic flow aloft covering much of the central and
    eastern CONUS. At the same time, upper ridging will move eastward
    across the western CONUS to the Intermountain West and a strong
    shortwave trough will move across the Pacific Northwest. This
    evolution will lead to a modestly amplified trough/ridge/trough
    pattern over the CONUS by early tomorrow.

    Even with this relatively progressive pattern, the extensive and
    cold airmass in place over much of the CONUS will promote offshore
    trajectories and cold/stable sensible weather. Strongest convection
    today is anticipated with a frontal band attendant to the Pacific
    Northwest shortwave trough. However, this convection will still be
    too shallow to produce lightning.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may occur this evening and tonight across
    parts of northern California and coastal southwest Oregon. Severe
    thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Persistent mid/upper-level troughing over the central/eastern CONUS
    and cold/offshore low-level trajectories will keep thunderstorm
    potential very low today, with one possible exception. A mid-level
    shortwave trough will move quickly eastward over the eastern Pacific
    today, and eventually overspread the Pacific Northwest this
    evening/tonight. Cool temperatures aloft (around -24 to -28C at 500
    mb) should support modest MUCAPE and the potential for isolated
    lightning flashes with a loosely organized band of convection that
    is expected to approach the coast of northern CA and southwest OR
    mainly after 28/00Z. But with limited low-level moisture and overall
    weak instability, severe thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may occur through tonight across parts of
    northern California and coastal southwest Oregon. Severe
    thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...Discussion...
    An upper trough will quickly move across northern CA and parts of
    the Pacific Northwest through tonight, with a weakening trend.
    Despite this, increasing lift, cooling aloft and a midlevel moist
    plume may support weak SBCAPE near the coast and elevated
    instability inland. The weak instability and minimal wind speeds
    below 700 mb should preclude any severe risk.

    Elsewhere, cool and stable conditions will prevail with an expansive
    upper trough east of the Rockies and high pressure.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast for today.

    ...Synopsis...
    A relatively stable pattern will exist across the CONUS today, with
    high pressure affecting most areas. A deep upper low will remain
    over Ontario, with broad cyclonic flow aloft encompassing most of
    eastern Canada and the USA. With high pressure over land, offshore
    flow will keep appreciable low-level moisture well offshore from
    Cuba toward the Turks and Caicos.

    Precipitation will be possible in association with a shortwave
    trough moving across the Great Basin during the day and across the
    central and northern Rockies. However, little to no instability is
    forecast, and as such thunderstorms appear unlikely.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not forecast for today.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a pair of shortwave troughs
    within in the cyclonic flow covering the central and eastern CONUS.
    The southernmost shortwave is currently progressing southeastward
    into the Lower MS Valley, with this southeastward motion expected to
    persist throughout the day. This evolution takes the wave across the north-central and eastern Gulf this afternoon/evening, and across FL
    by early tomorrow morning. The northern shortwave is moving
    southeastward over the Upper Great Lakes, and continued
    southeastward progress will take this wave through the middle/upper
    OH Valley and off the northern Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. Dry and
    stable conditions associated with an arctic airmass will be in place
    ahead of these shortwaves, limiting low-level moisture and
    precluding thunderstorm development.

    Another shortwave trough is currently moving eastward across the
    interior Pacific Northwest and northern Great Basin. This eastward/southeastward progression should continue, taking the wave
    through the northern/central Rockies and into the central Plains
    while also dampening the shortwave ridging proceeding it.
    Precipitation will be possible in association with this shortwave
    during the day and across the central and northern Rockies. However,
    little to no instability is forecast, and thunderstorms appear
    unlikely.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broadly cyclonic flow aloft is currently in place across much of the
    central and eastern CONUS, anchored by an expansive upper low
    centered over central Ontario. Early-morning satellite imagery shows
    a pair of shortwave troughs within the western periphery of this
    cyclonic flow, with the lead wave entering the TX Panhandle and OK
    and the second wave moving through western WY. Both of these
    shortwaves are forecast to move southeastward throughout the day,
    while another notably strong shortwave drops southward into the
    northern Plains and Upper Midwest early tomorrow. Evolution of these
    waves will reinforcing the cold, dry, and stable airmass already in
    place, and no thunderstorms are expected.

    Upper ridging is expected to build across much of the western CONUS/Intermountain West today. As it does, a pair of shortwave
    troughs are forecast to move through British Columbia and the
    Pacific Northwest. Showers with embedded convective elements will
    accompany each of these waves, but any convection should be too
    shallow for lightning production.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1000 AM CST Fri Jan 30 2026/

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A large-scale upper trough will amplify over the central/eastern
    CONUS through tonight. In response, a surface low will gradually
    deepen and develop northeastward along/near the Gulf Stream, while
    remaining offshore of the Carolinas. Any thunderstorms associated
    with the warm sector of the surface cyclone should also remain
    offshore. A separate mid-level shortwave trough will overspread
    parts of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia today. While
    showers/bands of precipitation are forecast to move inland,
    negligible instability is expected to limit thunderstorm potential.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. today through
    tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Long-wave troughing will persist across the eastern CONUS as an
    embedded shortwave trough steadily intensifies off the East Coast.
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are likely off the GA/Carolina
    coast as an attendant surface cyclone intensifies; however, the warm
    sector of the low will remain well offshore, precluding the
    potential for thunderstorms over land. Elsewhere, seasonally cool
    conditions across the central CONUS and upper ridging over the West
    will further nullify thunderstorm development.

    Another quiet convective day is forecast across the CONUS today,

    Thunderstorm activity is gradually increasing off the Southeast

    Thunderstorm potential appears low today and tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    The ongoing synoptic regime remains unfavorable for thunderstorm
    development across the country. Offshore flow into the Gulf and off
    the Southeast coast is evident in surface observations and IR
    imagery, and should become more prevalent through the day as a
    surface cyclone intensifies and accelerates northeast towards the
    Canadian Maritimes. Surface high pressure is beginning to build
    across the southern Plains/lower MS River Valley in the wake of the
    recent cold frontal intrusion, which will maintain dry and cool
    conditions across the central and eastern CONUS. Across the West,
    upper ridging and very dry conditions below 500 mb will continue to
    limit thunderstorm potential. A lightning flash or two appears
    possible across parts of the Pacific Northwest as a weak upper
    disturbance moves onshore, but lightning coverage will likely remain
    below 10% based on latest guidance and forecast soundings.

    Cool, dry, and stable conditions are noted across the country this

    unfavorable for destabilization, thunderstorm potential appears
    minimal. One exception to this is along/west of the Cascades in the
    Pacific Northwest where occasional lightning flashes have been
    observed in recent hours. Regional 00z soundings did sample weak
    buoyancy, but this will quickly diminish in the coming hours with
    the onset of nocturnal cooling. As such, any additional lightning
    potential is expected to be short-lived and should wane rapidly
    through the late evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    Cool and stable conditions will persist across much of the country
    for today and will limit thunderstorm potential. Modest moisture is
    expected late tonight into eastern TX as a surface high gradually
    shifts east and supports onshore trajectories out of the
    northwestern Gulf. A cold front pushing south across the Plains
    overnight will begin to impinge on this returning moisture across
    the Texarkana region between 09-12 UTC Tuesday morning. While
    shallow convective showers appear probable, consensus among forecast
    guidance is that warm mid-level temperatures will limit thunderstorm
    potential until more substantial cooling aloft occurs (which will
    most likely occur after 12 UTC Tuesday).

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    05 UTC surface observations depict modest moisture return ongoing
    along the TX Gulf Coast into eastern TX as a surface low gradually
    intensifies across northwest TX. Further north, a cold front
    continues to advance southward into the southern Plains. A
    combination of isentropic ascent preceding the front and more
    focused lift along the front will support isolated to scattered
    thunderstorm development by early afternoon from eastern TX into the
    lower MS River Valley and possibly into parts of the TN Valley as
    the front pushes southeast towards the Gulf.

    Although dewpoints will likely increase to the upper 50s and low 60s
    by late afternoon, warm mid-level temperatures observed in 00 UTC
    soundings will yield modest buoyancy profiles characterized by
    lifted indices between -1 to -3 C. Consequently, this will limit
    updraft intensities and the overall potential for severe convection.
    Latest CAM guidance, including the typically aggressive REFS,
    support this idea and depict very weak signals for strong updrafts.

    ...Northwest Gulf Coast into the Ark-La-Miss...
    The low-level airmass over this region is continuing to slowly
    modify after a previous arctic intrusion into the Gulf basin. Only
    limited diurnal destabilization (i.e., mainly 50s surface dewpoints
    yielding weak CAPE) is expected within a warm conveyor extending
    across the central Gulf Coast states eastward into the southern
    Appalachians. A mid-level trough will approach the region and aid
    in pushing a cold front southeast. Forecast soundings suggest weak,
    isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon over east TX and
    the Ark-La-Tex before shifting east-southeast across the lower MS
    Valley later this evening into tonight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight across the
    contiguous United States.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper pattern is expected to amplify today, largely a consequence of
    a deepening central/eastern CONUS upper trough. This large-scale
    deepening will be fostered by the progression and evolution of
    several shortwave troughs as they move through the western and
    southern periphery of the parent upper troughing. The first of these
    waves is currently moving southeastward through the Lower MO Valley,
    with continued east-southeastward/eastward motion expected to take
    this wave across the Mid-South, TN Valley, and central Appalachians
    today.

    A modest warm sector precedes this lead wave, with some low-level
    moisture return currently noted across the TX Coastal Plains into
    central and east TX. Some moisture return today will continue as the
    shortwave progresses eastward and an associated cold front pushes
    southeastward across TX and the Mid-South/Lower MS Valley. However,
    much of the central Gulf basin remains fairly dry due to previous
    frontal intrusions, likely limiting the overall moisture return from
    the Lower MS Valley eastward across the remainder of the Southeast.
    This will confine the better low-level moisture return to the TX
    Gulf Coast and southwest LA. Warm-air advection across this modestly
    moist portion of the warm sector could contribute to some buoyancy.
    However, tempered heating and poor lapse rates will mitigate the
    overall magnitude of any buoyancy that does develop. Even so,
    occasional updrafts should still be deep enough for isolated
    lightning, particularly from east TX into central LA where the
    highest thunderstorm coverage is anticipated. Modest vertical shear
    will be in place, but the overall severe risk will be limited by
    weak buoyancy.

    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight across the

    ...Synopsis...
    A surface cold front is evident in 00 UTC surface observations
    extending from Middle TN southwestward to the TX Coastal Plain with thunderstorms ongoing across portions of southeast TX into western
    LA. This activity is expected to spread southeastward into the
    northwestern Gulf through 12 UTC in tandem with the surface front. A
    recent 00 UTC sounding from CRP sampled around 500 J/kg SBCAPE, but
    the onset of nocturnal cooling should begin to modulate buoyancy
    heading into the late evening/overnight hours. While forcing along
    the front will continue to support convection, thunderstorm
    intensity will likely continue to wane and limit the potential for
    organized convection given the deteriorating thermodynamic
    conditions.

    Severe storms are not expected today through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Late-evening surface observations show a cold front advancing south
    into the northwestern Gulf/lower MS River Valley. This feature is
    expected to continue southeastward over the next 24 hours amid
    building high pressure across the central CONUS. Despite seasonal
    moisture in place along the Gulf Coast, warm mid-level
    temperatures/poor lapse rates will largely limit much appreciable
    buoyancy. However, forecast soundings suggest sufficient MUCAPE for
    isolated thunderstorms may develop within the pre-frontal air mass
    by late morning/early afternoon across the northern Gulf into parts
    of southern AL and the FL Panhandle. Given the poor thermodynamic
    environment, severe/organized convection is not expected, and any
    appreciable lightning threat to land should diminish after 00 UTC.

    Morning surface analysis places a cold front pushing southeast

    the front into central portions of the FL Peninsula late tonight.
    Scant buoyancy mainly over the FL Panhandle vicinity this morning
    may yield a few weak thunderstorms before this activity diminishes

    Current satellite imagery shows a shortwave trough extending from

    is forecast to continue progressing southeastward, moving from the

    western CONUS. This evolution will yield an strongly amplified upper
    pattern over the CONUS by early tomorrow morning.

    Surface analysis places a low over the southern Appalachians in
    northern GA, with a cold front extending southwestward from this
    through the central Gulf Coast. Showers and embedded thunderstorms
    precede this front from the FL Panhandle through central and eastern
    SC, although most of the lightning is currently offshore. As the
    aforementioned shortwave trough continues southeastward, this front
    is forecast to surge southeastward as well. Inland buoyancy ahead of
    the front will be limited by tempered heating and poor lapse rates,
    which is expected to keep any thunderstorm potential offshore for

    Thunderstorms probabilities across the U.S. appear less than 10
    percent tonight.

    ...01Z Update...
    Larger-scale mid-level troughing may take on a bit less of a
    positive tilt while approaching the southern Atlantic Seaboard later
    tonight, as the most vigorous embedded short wave perturbation
    begins to pivot eastward after digging into the northwestern Gulf
    coast vicinity. However, colder mid-level temperatures are forecast
    to continue to lag to the northwest and west of the associated
    surface cold front, which may overspread much of northern Florida
    and the west central peninsula by 12Z Thursday. Forecast soundings
    suggest that lower/mid-tropospheric moistening and forcing for
    large-scale ascent along and ahead of the front may contribute to a
    layer of weak destabilization supportive of heavier showers into and
    across the Greater Tampa vicinity, and perhaps much of the I-4
    corridor, late tonight. However, given relatively warm equilibrium
    (and likely cloud top) temperatures, the potential for lightning
    appears low.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities appear less than 10 percent across the
    U.S. today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Downstream of a significant, progressive short wave trough, models
    indicate that an initially vigorous perturbation across the southern mid-latitude Pacific will be forced northeastward/eastward toward
    the North American Pacific coast today through tonight. As it
    approaches a prominent mid/upper high which has evolved inland of
    the U.S coast, it is forecast to split, with one of the emerging
    perturbations accelerating toward the British Columbia coast while
    the other digs toward the southern California coast. Downstream of
    the latter impulse, broader weak troughing initially offshore of
    southern California and Baja is forecast to slowly accelerate north/northeastward inland of coastal areas.

    While models indicate that the blocking ridge will probably undergo
    notable weakening today through tonight, it appears that amplified
    ridging will generally be maintained across the Canadian/U.S.
    Rockies, with another significant short wave trough of Arctic
    origins digging downstream, across the southwestern Hudson Bay
    vicinity. It appears that this will be accompanied by a deepening
    surface cyclone, with a trailing cold front advancing across the
    international border into portions of the Upper Midwest and Great
    Lakes region by late tonight.

    This is likely to occur coincident with strong downstream surface
    cyclogenesis, offshore of the south Atlantic Seaboard through the
    southern mid-latitude western Atlantic, trailed by a cold front
    advancing south of the Florida peninsula through the Bahamas and
    western Caribbean.

    ...Florida...
    Inland of the Gulf coast, across the remainder of the central and
    southern peninsula, with the mid-level cold core continuing to trail
    to the northwest of the surface cold front, and mid/upper support
    for ascent perhaps weakening ahead of the front, forecast soundings
    indicate minimal potential for pre-frontal thunderstorm development
    today.

    ...Southwest...
    Model forecast soundings, particularly the Rapid Refresh, suggest
    that steepening lower/mid-tropospheric lapse rates and moisture
    return from the subtropical eastern Pacific, may lead to the
    development of weak conditional instability across parts of southern
    California through the Mojave Desert/lower Colorado Valley by late
    tonight. However, this may mostly occur in the wake of an initial
    short wave impulse overspreading the region, with little potential
    for thunderstorm activity through 12Z Friday.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery reveals a considerably amplified upper
    pattern featuring an eastern CONUS upper trough and a western CONUS
    Rex Block anchored by expansive ridging from Mexico into British
    Columbia. Within the eastern CONUS troughing, a shortwave trough
    currently extends from the central Appalachians southwestward into
    the north-central Gulf. Surface low associated with this shortwave
    is currently off the South Carolina coast, with an attendant cold
    front extending back southwestward across south Florida. This
    surface low is forecast to eject northeastward into more of the
    western Atlantic as its parent shortwave progresses eastward and the
    cold front pushes through the remainder of south Florida. Modest
    low-level moisture precedes this front across south Florida, but
    tempered heating and warm temperatures aloft will mitigate any
    buoyancy and no thunderstorms are anticipated. Cool and stable
    conditions will preclude thunderstorms elsewhere across the CONUS.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States
    through tonight.

    Relatively dry and stable conditions will preclude thunderstorms
    across the CONUS today.

    ..Hart.. 02/05/2026

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1021 AM CST Thu Feb 05 2026/

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery reveals a considerably amplified upper
    pattern featuring an eastern CONUS upper trough and a western CONUS
    Rex Block anchored by expansive ridging from Mexico into British
    Columbia. Within the eastern CONUS troughing, a shortwave trough
    currently extends from the central Appalachians southwestward into
    the north-central Gulf. Surface low associated with this shortwave
    is currently off the South Carolina coast, with an attendant cold
    front extending back southwestward across south Florida. This
    surface low is forecast to eject northeastward into more of the
    western Atlantic as its parent shortwave progresses eastward and the
    cold front pushes through the remainder of south Florida. Modest
    low-level moisture precedes this front across south Florida, but
    tempered heating and warm temperatures aloft will mitigate any
    buoyancy and no thunderstorms are anticipated. Cool and stable
    conditions will preclude thunderstorms elsewhere across the CONUS.

    Thunderstorm probabilities appear less than 10 percent across the
    U.S tonight.

    ...01Z Update...

    ...Southwest...
    A short wave trough approaching a blocking mid-level ridge centered
    inland of the U.S. Pacific coast continues to split, with one
    emerging perturbation now digging toward southern California and
    Baja, where weak larger-scale preceding troughing is already slowly accelerating north/northeastward, inland across coastal areas. As
    this continues tonight, lower/mid-tropospheric moisture of
    sub-tropical eastern Pacific origin is forecast to continue to
    advect northward across portions of southern California through the
    Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Valley. Coincident with steepening
    lapse rates aided by mid-level cooling, Rapid Refresh and NAM
    forecast soundings continue to indicate layers of weak conditional
    instability developing across the region overnight. The evolution
    of profiles conducive to convection capable of producing lightning
    remains a bit unclear, but still seems generally low through at
    least 12Z Friday..

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities will remain generally near or below 10
    percent across the U.S. today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    While a blocking high centered inland of the U.S. Pacific coast
    becomes increasingly suppressed, it appears that large-scale ridging
    will be maintained across the Pacific coast through the Canadian
    Prairies and U.S. Great Plains. Some expansion east of the Canadian
    Prairies and northern U.S. Great Plains is possible, but a vigorous
    short wave trough of Arctic origins likely will reinforce amplified larger-scale mid-level troughing across and east of the Atlantic
    Seaboard, as it digs south-southeast of the Great Lakes through Mid
    Atlantic region today through tonight. Beneath a confluent
    mid-level regime in the wake of this feature, cold surface ridging
    is forecast to build across the Mississippi Valley through
    Appalachians vicinity, with the leading edge of the reinforcing cold
    intrusion advancing as far south as the Florida peninsula and
    northeastern Gulf Basin through central Texas by 12Z Saturday.

    Near and inland of the southern California through Baja coast, broad
    weak mid-level troughing is forecast to linger and become reinforced
    by a digging short wave perturbation emerging from the upstream
    southern mid-latitude Pacific. Models indicate that this may
    include the evolution of a notable mid-level low, which probably
    will remain offshore of the southern California and northern Baja
    coast through this period.

    ...Southwest...
    Models suggest that modest moisture return off the subtropical
    eastern Pacific, coincident with steepening lapse rates aided by
    mid-level cooling, will contribute to weak destabilization across
    parts of California into the Great Basin today through tonight.
    With the evolving low and associated coldest mid-level temperatures
    forecast to remain offshore, forcing to support convective
    development inland remains unclear. Spread among the model output
    adds to the uncertainty.

    Orographic forcing might contribute to potential for thunderstorm
    development with sufficient boundary-layer destabilization, and
    there appears a consensus among the various ensemble calibrated
    thunderstorm guidance for minimum threshold thunderstorm
    probabilities across at least western portions of the Transverse
    Ranges of southern California. Eastward into the San Gabriel
    Mountains, and northward into portions of the southern Sierra
    Nevada, thunderstorm probabilities appear a bit less at this time.

    A mid- to upper-level low located to the west of Point Conception

    conditions will prevail from the MS Valley eastward to the Atlantic
    coast while mostly dry and tranquil weather will occur across the

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
    States through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper low currently developing off the coast of southern CA is
    expected to continue deepening as it progresses southward today,
    ending the period as a well-developed closed low off the coast of
    the northern Baja Peninsula by early tomorrow. Modestly moist low-
    to mid-level flow will persist throughout the eastern periphery of
    this low, combining with cooling mid-level temperatures to support
    scant buoyancy. Consequently, a few thunderstorms are possible later
    this afternoon and evening across the Transverse Ranges of southern
    CA.

    Expansive upper ridging is in place across much of the western and
    central CONUS east of this upper low and associated troughing along
    the West Coast. Stable conditions attendant to this ridging will
    prevail across the remainder of the western and central CONUS. Deep
    upper troughing exists east of this ridging from Ontario into the
    western Atlantic Ocean, with several shortwave troughs embedded
    within the cyclonic flow that extends from the Upper Midwest and off
    the Mid-Atlantic coast. However, prevailing cool and stable
    conditions will preclude thunderstorm development.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today through tonight.

    ...AZ/NM...
    A low-latitude shortwave trough should drift southeastward, west of
    Baja CA. A plume of eastern Pacific mid-level moisture within a weak
    warm conveyor should spread into parts of far southeast AZ later
    this morning, shifting east across southern NM through the
    afternoon. This might yield minimal elevated buoyancy (MUCAPE below
    100 J/kg) within predominately marginal temperatures for charge
    separation. As such, thunder probabilities for this regime appear to
    be below 10 percent.

    In its wake, isolated thunderstorms should be focused over southeast
    AZ this afternoon as meager surface-based buoyancy (MLCAPE below 500
    J/kg) develops. Large-scale ascent appears nebulous in the wake of
    the leading warm advection plume, but sufficient orographic lift
    should exist to support a few cells. Guidance does differ on the
    degree of storm coverage though, with the 00Z RRFS/ECMWF on the more
    aggressive spectrum.

    Relatively cold mid-level temperatures (near -18 deg C at 500 mb)
    and sufficient moisture will yield weak buoyancy later today across
    southern AZ. Showers and a few weak thunderstorms are forecast
    mainly for southeast AZ where weak ascent may yield a couple of

    and southwest NM.

    Farther east, expansive high pressure will cover much of the CONUS

    A low-latitude, mid-level low will drift southeastward, west of

    this wave is expected to remain south of the AZ border area today.

    In the Pacific Northwest, a series of lower-amplitude shortwave

    Instability will be quite limited until this evening/tonight as a
    plume of steep mid-level lapse rates spreads southeastward,
    eventually across most of the OR coast. CAM consensus indicates
    potential for a band of low-topped convection spreading towards
    parts of the OR/WA coast tonight. Buoyancy should be scant at most,
    but a few lightning flashes remain plausible.

    A progressive flow regime will reside across the contiguous United
    States today to the north of a low-latitude, mid-level low over
    northwestern Mexico. In the Pacific Northwest, a series of
    lower-amplitude shortwave impulses should progress eastward through
    early morning Monday. A plume of steepening mid-level lapse rates
    is forecast to overspread the Pacific Northwest coast tonight. As a
    result, low-topped convection moving ashore may intermittently be
    capable of lightning flashes on an isolated basis near the coast.
    Elsewhere, quiescent conditions for thunderstorms will prevail
    across the remainder of the CONUS.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few thunderstorms are possible along a portion of the coastal
    Pacific Northwest tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery reveals a pair of shortwave troughs moving
    across the central CONUS amid modest upper troughing anchored by an
    upper low just off the central Baja California coast. Southwesterly
    flow extends from the eastern periphery of the upper low through OK,
    which is just downstream of the southernmost shortwave trough. Some
    showers are currently ongoing within this region, and the general
    expectation is for them to continue throughout the period while
    gradually shifting eastward with time. Forecast soundings in the
    Arklatex vicinity shows scant buoyancy from 600 to 500 mb, which
    could result in a few deeper convective elements. However, this
    buoyancy is expected to be too shallow and weak for lightning
    production.

    Farther west, strong westerly/southwesterly flow aloft extends
    through the Pacific Northwest, preceding ahead of shortwave trough
    currently progressing through the northwest Pacific Ocean. This
    shortwave is forecast to continue eastward, moving through the
    Pacific Northwest this evening and overnight. Some modest buoyancy
    may develop along the coast as cold mid-level temperatures
    associated with this system spread eastward, supporting a line of
    deeper convection along the axis of the upper trough. Occasional
    lightning flashes are possible along the coast within the deepest
    cores.

    ...Discussion...
    Minimal change from the previous outlook with potential for isolated thunderstorms during the late evening to early overnight. In the
    wake of a low-amplitude shortwave trough shifting east across the
    Northwest, a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates will expand
    southeastward across most of coastal OR. Guidance is consistent in
    depicting a surface trough encroaching on the coast by 06-08Z.
    Scattered low-topped convection should accompany this trough,
    especially towards the WA coast. Buoyancy should remain scant at
    most, but may be adequate for a few embedded thunderstorms before
    convection weakens inland.

    A quiescent pattern for thunderstorm potential is anticipated today
    into tonight. One exception may be across parts of the Northwest,
    amid steep mid-level lapse rates in the wake of a low-amplitude
    shortwave trough crossing the northern Rockies to the adjacent High
    Plains. Most guidance indicates isolated to widely scattered
    low-topped convection, mainly in the form of snow showers, at peak
    afternoon heating over the higher terrain of central ID to the
    Yellowstone vicinity. Buoyancy will be minimal, and in combination
    with weakly forced ascent/cool surface temperatures, thunderstorm
    probabilities still appear to be less than 10 percent.

    ...Discussion...

    Late-evening model guidance continues to suggest a pronounced
    short-wave trough will approach the CA coast during the latter half
    of the period as a 500mb speed max translates inland across southern
    CA. Cooling profiles north of this jet favor steepening lapse rates
    and weak destabilization such that isolated thunderstorms are
    expected to develop. Forecast soundings suggest deeper convective
    updrafts may generate lightning, primarily after 11/00z as weak
    destabilization is maximized immediately ahead of the short
    wave/cold front.

    Downstream, water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low
    over the southern Baja Peninsula. This feature is beginning to eject
    northeast and should advance into the Big Bend/northeast Mexico by
    late afternoon. Lapse rates will steepen across far west TX ahead of
    this feature, and high-level diffluent flow aloft will prove
    favorable for weak convection across this region. Isolated lightning
    is expected with some of this activity.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    12 UTC surface observations depict a southward advancing cold front
    draped from the upper Great Lakes region into the southern Plains.
    Aloft, an upper wave is forecast to amplify across the Great Lakes
    region in response to the southward push of an arctic air mass
    behind the front, while a low-amplitude upper disturbance over
    northern Mexico migrates eastward along the Gulf coast. Along the
    West Coast, cold mid-level temperatures associated with an upper
    trough will overspread central CA through tonight.

    ...Big Bend region of TX and portions of the OH Valley...
    The combination of increasing ascent along the front and ahead of
    the upper waves should promote increasing showers from the OH Valley southwestward into the Big Bend region of TX. While buoyancy
    profiles will remain fairly modest along and ahead of the frontal
    zone due to warm mid-level temperatures (as noted in 12 UTC RAOBs), temperatures aloft should be sufficiently cold for isolated
    thunderstorms. A few recent CAM solutions hint at the potential for
    loosely organized convection across portions of eastern KY into WV
    where deep-layer shear will be fairly strong (around 40 knots) in
    proximity to an intensifying upper jet. However, meager buoyancy
    will likely modulate updraft intensities.

    ...California...
    Persistent lightning has been noted in GOES GLM data off the CA
    coast under the approaching upper-level trough. The 12 UTC OAK RAOB
    also sampled cool mid-level temperatures near -20 C just below 500
    mb. With further cooling/moistening aloft expected with the eastward translation of the upper trough, isolated thunderstorms appear
    likely after 00 UTC.

    ...20Z Update...

    ...OH Valley into the Mid-South...
    Recent surface analysis places a low just east of Lake Erie, with an
    associated cold front extending southwestward from this low through
    northwest OH, central IN, southern IL, and southeast MO. This cold
    front will continue to push southeastward through the evening and
    overnight. Mid 50s dewpoints now reach into central KY, which is
    likely near the northern extent of these higher dewpoints. Even so,
    this could be just enough low-level moisture to support modest
    buoyancy just ahead of the front from central KY into central WV,
    where a few isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and
    evening. A few thunderstorms are also possible tonight along and
    ahead of the front in the Mid-South vicinity. Here, overlap between
    modest low-level moisture (upper 50s to low 60s dewpoints) and
    cooling mid-level temperatures will support limited buoyancy.

    As mentioned in the previous outlook, an isolated strong wind gust
    or two is possible in both of these areas, but the overall threat of
    severe storms remains low.

    ...TX Trans-Pecos...
    A few embedded thunderstorms are possible across the TX Trans-Pecos
    and Edwards Plateau amid continued forcing for ascent and cooling
    mid-level temperatures ahead of the shortwave trough moving out of
    northern Mexico. Severe hazards are not expected.

    ...CA...
    Low-topped showers and isolated thunderstorms are still anticipated
    this evening through tonight, mostly after 00Z, as a compact but
    strong shortwave trough moves into central CA. Gusty winds are
    possible within the primary frontal band, but organized severe
    weather is not expected.

    ...01z Update...

    Strong upper trough is approaching the CA coast early this evening.
    High-level diffluent flow is overspreading much of this region and
    weak convection is gradually deepening, per isolated lightning flash
    over the Sierra Nevada. As midlevels cool, steepening lapse rates
    should aid further destabilization along with the risk for isolated thunderstorms.

    Isolated thunderstorms have spread a bit farther downstream into
    south central TX in association with the upper trough ejecting
    across northeast Mexico. This activity should wane over the next few
    hours.

    Across the OH/TN Valleys, isolated thunderstorms are expected
    along/ahead of the cold front that will advance southeast across
    this region. A few lightning flashes have recently been noted across
    WV, immediately ahead of the front. 00z soundings across this region
    do not exhibit appreciably buoyancy, but further destabilization is
    possible and this should aid a bit more coverage later this evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...CA/Great Basin...

    Weak midlevel height falls are forecast to spread across CA into the
    Great Basin later this afternoon in response to an upper low that
    will advance slowly inland. Latest model guidance suggests this
    feature will contribute to destabilization across much of central CA
    into NV/UT as sub -24C at 500mb exists beneath the upper low.
    Associated surface low is forecast to struggle advancing inland so
    weak south-southeasterly boundary-layer flow is expected across the
    interior valleys. Forecast soundings exhibit weak vertical shear,
    but modest turning with height. While buoyancy will remain weak, a
    few low-topped storms could weakly rotate given the veering
    profiles. Aside from lightning, the greatest risk would be small
    hail, at best, with this diurnally enhanced convection.

    ...Southeast...

    Westerly flow will gradually deepen across the Southeast later today
    in advance of a surface front that will advance toward the SC/GA
    coast by early evening. Some boundary-layer heating is expected
    ahead of the wind shift such that weak buoyancy is forecast ahead of
    the front. Latest forecast soundings suggest the most robust
    convection could attain heights necessary for lightning discharge,
    but this activity is expected to remain isolated.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...CA/Great Basin...
    A stationary mid-level low near San Francisco Bay will maintain
    cyclonic flow from the eastern Pacific through CA and into the Great
    Basin. The associated mid-level cold pocket (-24 to -26 deg C) will
    combine with limited diurnal heating to contribute to pockets of
    weak, intermittent destabilization. Low-topped convection may yield
    some lightning flashes with the stronger updrafts. However, overall
    weak and fleeting buoyancy will limit storm vigor and preclude a
    severe risk.

    Elsewhere, a cold front will continue pushing southeast across the
    Southeast states and reach the Carolina coast later today.
    West-to-east moving showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms are
    possible this afternoon before ceasing by this evening.

    Upper low off the central CA coast will drift southeast through
    13/12z as the primary corridor of stronger midlevel flow extends
    within the base of the trough into the central Baja Peninsula.
    Coldest midlevel temperatures are forecast to extend across CA into
    the Great Basin, and cool/steep profiles favor weak destabilization
    across this region, especially between 20z-03z, aided by
    boundary-layer heating. Forecast soundings support this with MUCAPE
    on the order of 200 J/kg. Earlier thoughts regarding the potential
    for isolated-scattered convection continue.

    Upper trough is settling south across the Great Basin/CA early this

    rates and some boundary layer heating have contributed to a few
    hundred J/kg MUCAPE. 00z soundings from this region support this,

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms could produce hail and gusty
    winds this evening into the overnight hours across portions of the
    southern Plains.

    ...Southern Plains...

    Late-evening water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined short-wave
    trough off the Baja Peninsula. This southern-stream feature is
    beginning to eject northeast in response to the Great Basin/CA
    trough digging toward the lower CO River Valley. By early evening,
    00z model guidance suggests this southern short wave will deamplify
    as it translates across northern Mexico, then into the southern High
    Plains during the overnight hours. Modest 12hr height falls will
    overspread this region and southeasterly 850mb flow is expected to
    respond and increase across the Edwards Plateau into western OK
    ahead of the short wave. As a result, a modified Gulf air mass will
    begin to advance inland and 50s surface dew points are expected to
    overspread the southern High Plains by peak heating, with further
    moistening expected along the I35 corridor well into the overnight
    hours.

    Latest guidance suggests modest boundary-layer heating will be noted
    from far West TX into western OK such that 500-1000 J/kg SBCAPE is
    expected prior to potential convective development. Ample deep layer
    shear will be present for organized updrafts and an increasing LLJ
    should encourage convection during the overnight hours. Forecast
    soundings suggest convective temperatures will be breached by 22-23z
    and HREF guidance supports this with isolated-scattered storms
    evolving across far West TX into western OK by early evening. This
    activity will gradually increase in areal coverage as it
    spreads/develops east-northeast during the overnight hours. Wind
    profiles favor supercell development and large hail will be the
    primary concern, along with gust potential. Some consideration was
    given to increasing severe probabilities across this region but
    instability is not expected to be particularly noteworthy. Will
    continue to monitor this region as moisture returns to the southern
    Plains.

    into western/central OK. Steep 700-500 mb lapse rates sampled at 12
    UTC this morning in Midland, TX (7.7 deg C/km), will aid in the
    development of 500-1200 J/kg MUCAPE as the moist plume gradually
    moistens/heats today. Forecast soundings shows strong to very
    strong effective shear (50-70 kt), which will support storm
    organization.

    Initially, isolated storms are forecast to develop on the northwest
    periphery of moisture return over parts of northwest TX late this
    afternoon. As the upper trough approaches the region this evening
    into the overnight, a more extensive southwest to northeast corridor
    of convection is expected. One or more clusters will likely evolve
    into linear bands and move east-northeastward near an
    eastward-moving Pacific front and from prior storm-generated cold
    pools. One of these linear clusters seems likely from parts of the
    Permian Basin vicinity into northwest TX tonight as deeper
    large-scale forcing for ascent pivots into the southern High Plains.
    A predominately hail risk with the strongest storms this
    afternoon/evening will probably transition to a mix of hail/wind
    potential during the overnight as the storm mode becomes more
    linear. Strengthening low-level warm-air advection over OK tonight
    will favor primarily elevated strong to locally severe storms
    capable of a hail risk into perhaps as far north as southern KS
    during the pre-dawn hours on Saturday.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce occasional hail
    and gusty winds this evening into the overnight hours across parts
    of the southern Plains.

    ...Southern Plains...
    An upper trough over Baja California late this morning will move
    eastward across the Southwest/northern Mexico into the southern
    Rockies by early Saturday morning. Gradually strengthening low-level
    flow will continue to advect somewhat richer moisture northwestward
    from the TX Hill Country (mostly 50s surface dewpoints) into parts
    of west TX and western/central OK through the period. Modestly
    steepened mid-level lapse rates present will support around 500-1000
    J/kg MUCAPE by this evening across the southern High Plains. Various
    NAM/RAP forecast soundings show strong effective bulk shear (around
    50-70 kt) this evening/overnight as southwesterly mid/upper-level
    flow strengthens with the approach of the upper trough, which will
    likely support thunderstorm organization.

    Isolated thunderstorms should initially develop on the northwest
    periphery of the low-level moisture return over parts of northwest
    TX and vicinity late this afternoon/early evening with some hail
    threat. As large-scale ascent associated with the upper trough
    approaches the southern High Plains later this evening, a more
    extensive southwest to northeast corridor of convection is expected.
    One or more clusters may eventually evolve into linear bands and
    develop east-northeastward along/near an eastward-moving Pacific
    front.

    One of these linear clusters with perhaps embedded supercells seems
    likely to occur early Saturday morning (after 14/06Z) from parts of
    west into northwest TX as stronger forcing for ascent overspreads
    this region. Mainly an isolated severe hail risk with the strongest
    updrafts this afternoon/evening should transition to a mix of
    hail/wind potential during the overnight hours as the convective
    mode becomes more linear. Strengthening low-level warm-air advection
    over OK tonight will favor primarily elevated strong to locally
    severe thunderstorms capable of occasional hail, perhaps extending
    as far north as southern KS during the pre-dawn hours Saturday.

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce occasional hail
    and gusty winds this evening into the overnight hours across parts
    of the southern Plains.

    ...20Z Update...
    No changes needed to the ongoing forecast.

    Recent satellite imagery continues to show a shortwave trough
    extending from the western Great Basin to off the central Baja
    Peninsula. A lead vorticity maximum is ejecting northeastward ahead
    of the main shortwave across northern Mexico, and ascent attendant
    to this feature will likely begin interacting with the northwestern
    periphery of the returning low-level moisture this evening. As
    mentioned in the previous discussion, this interaction should
    support isolated thunderstorms across northwest TX and southwest OK.
    Isolated hail is the primary risk with this activity.

    Thunderstorm coverage is expected to expand tonight from northwest
    TX/southwest OK into much of west TX as persistent large-scale
    ascent is augmented by a strengthening low-level jet and associated
    warm-air advection. A few stronger storms and/or clusters remain
    possible overnight, with perhaps even an embedded supercell. A
    transition to a mix of hail/wind potential is still expected during
    the overnight hours as the convective mode trends more linear.
    Isolated strong to severe storms will remain possible across OK
    overnight, supported by strengthening warm-air advection, strong
    shear, and modest buoyancy.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST TX TO
    SOUTHEAST KS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated, marginally severe hail and wind are possible tonight
    through Saturday morning across parts of the southern Great Plains.

    ...Southern Great Plains...
    Forecast largely remains as advertised with a corridor of generally
    marginal severe hail and wind potential from parts of west TX to
    southeast KS. See MCD 0071 for short-term discussion across the TX
    South Plains. Overall severe threat might increase overnight as an
    expanding swath of storms occurs with strengthening large-scale
    ascent downstream of the positive-tilt shortwave trough over the
    Desert Southwest. Some models, most notably recent HRRR runs, are
    insistent on a meso-beta corridor of sustained storm structures
    developing in the pre-dawn hours in the Permian Basin vicinity of
    west TX. The 00Z MAF observed sounding confirmed a robust speed
    shear profile above 800 mb, which is expected to remain
    conditionally conducive to a couple mid-level supercells capable of
    large hail through early morning. However, the influx of low-level
    moisture from the south will remain modest and limit available
    buoyancy. In addition, storm mode should remain cluster-dominated,
    eventually evolving into a linear structure by 12Z towards the TX
    Big Country. These factors may curtail greater severe hail coverage
    overnight.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN EAST TX TO THE
    LOWER MS VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from parts of Texas to the Lower
    Mississippi Valley. This most likely time frame is this evening to
    tonight, when a few tornadoes and scattered damaging winds may occur
    across east Texas to southern Mississippi.

    ...Southern Great Plains to the Lower MS Valley...
    Slightly elevated storms should be ongoing at 12Z across parts of
    west/western north TX and southern OK. This activity will probably
    remain sub-severe through the morning, but a brief marginally severe
    hail/wind event is plausible within a strongly sheared but weakly
    buoyant environment. Some of this convection may intensify into the
    afternoon as downstream destabilization occurs, along with evolution
    into a loosely organized QLCS. CAM guidance remains rather varied
    regarding the coverage and duration of organized storms through much
    of the first half of the period, suggestive of a mainly isolated
    severe threat.

    Guidance is more consistent with increasing low-level mass response
    near/after 00Z, which should aid in the development of a more
    organized QLCS through the evening in east TX. This QLCS is likely
    to accelerate eastward across parts of LA and the Lower MS Valley
    overnight. While instability will become increasingly scant with
    eastward extent, strengthening low/mid-level flow and effective SRH
    will support development of one or more organized bowing segments,
    with an attendant threat of scattered damaging winds. An increase in
    tornado threat is also anticipated, mainly with line-embedded
    mesovortices. But within the warm-conveyor belt region near the Gulf
    Coast, a supercell or two may form before merging into the QLCS.

    Most guidance suggests some weakening trend prior to 12Z, with the
    stronger forcing becoming displaced north of the effective warm
    sector. However, some threat for locally damaging winds and a brief
    tornado could persist near the central Gulf Coast through the end of
    the period.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN TEXAS INTO
    THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from parts of Texas to the Lower
    Mississippi Valley. The most likely time frame is this evening to
    tonight, when a few tornadoes and scattered damaging winds may occur
    across east Texas to southern Mississippi.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts a gradually deepening
    upper wave in place along the southern High Plains into northern
    Mexico with a pronounced vorticity maximum approaching the upper Rio
    Grande Valley. Latest upper-air analyses show increasing cold
    advection across the southern High Plains, which will contribute to
    the intensification and eastward progression of the wave through
    tonight. At the surface, seasonally high dewpoints (low to mid-60s)
    continue to spread north across central/eastern TX to the south of a
    warm frontal zone analyzed from northwest OK to the lower MS Valley.
    Continued low-level warm advection and increasing ascent aloft will
    promote steady deepening/organization of the surface cyclone as it
    shifts southeast towards southern AR/northern LA by tonight. A
    frontogenetic Pacific cold front attendant to the cyclone will
    promote thunderstorm development across central to eastern TX this
    afternoon and into LA and southern MS overnight.

    ...Eastern Texas to Southwest Mississippi...
    Ongoing elevated convection will continue to spread east/northeast
    through late morning, supported by steady isentropic ascent within
    the warm frontal zone and over residual cold pools from prior
    overnight convection. With time, this activity will become
    increasingly near-surface based as MLCAPE increases to around 1000
    J/kg across eastern TX amid continued moisture return and filtered
    daytime heating. Focused forcing along the front and strong height
    falls aloft will promote upscale growth of initially semi-discrete
    cells and clusters into an organized line by early evening. The
    potential for severe gusts and embedded tornadic circulations should
    increase as this occurs - especially between 00-04 UTC across far
    east TX into central LA as the mid-level jet attendant to the upper
    wave ejects eastward along the Gulf Coast and promotes a rapid
    eastward surge of the front.

    ...Far Southwest Oklahoma into Central Texas...
    Gradual clearing is anticipated through the day in the wake of
    morning showers and thunderstorms across central TX into southwest
    OK. Despite modest low-level moisture behind the primary surface
    front, cold temperatures aloft under the upper trough coupled with
    daytime heating should promote lifted indices on the order of -5 to
    -6 C within a largely uncapped environment. Weak ascent under/behind
    the upper trough will support mainly isolated convective
    showers/thunderstorms, but 30 knot mid-level flow may be sufficient
    for a few organized cells capable of producing large hail this
    afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF EAST/SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms should develop and spread eastward late this
    afternoon into the evening and overnight from parts of central/east
    Texas to the Lower Mississippi Valley. A few tornadoes, scattered
    damaging winds, and isolated severe hail all appear possible.

    ...Central/East Texas into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
    A southern-stream mid/upper-level shortwave trough will continue to
    move quickly eastward across the southern Plains/northern Mexico
    today, eventually reaching the lower MS Valley tonight. At the
    surface, a weak low over northwest OK late this morning will develop
    towards the ArkLaTex by this evening while gradually deepening. An
    attendant cold front will sweep east-southeastward across
    central/east TX in tandem with the surface low, and will likely
    provide a focus for robust surface-based convection later this afternoon/evening. The northern extent of the surface warm sector is
    forecast to remain somewhat constrained by slowly eroding surface
    high pressure centered over the Carolinas, with a warm front
    expected to make only slow progress northward across LA and the
    central Gulf Coast States through the end of the period.

    Ongoing, loosely organized convection extending from north-central
    to southwest TX may pose an isolated threat for hail and gusty winds
    through the rest of this morning into mid afternoon. With continued
    filtered daytime heating of a seasonably moist low-level airmass, it
    still appears likely that a gradual uptick in thunderstorm coverage
    and intensity will occur across parts of central/east TX by mid to
    late afternoon. Various NAM/RAP forecast soundings across this
    region indicate MLCAPE will likely be hindered to some extent due to
    saturated low-level profiles and modest mid-level lapse rates.
    Still, the risk for scattered severe/damaging winds should increase
    from late afternoon into the evening as convection gradually
    consolidates into a line amid strengthening low/mid-level
    south-southwesterly flow and related low-level/deep-layer shear.
    Some guidance suggests potential for a supercell or two with
    southward extent across central TX. If this occurs, than a locally
    greater threat for large hail may exist given somewhat more
    favorable mid-level lapse rates with southward extent amid the
    presence of strong deep-layer shear. However, confidence in this
    scenario occurring remains too limited for a Slight Risk expansion
    into central TX at this time.

    Some risk for line-embedded tornadoes should also exist this evening
    into early Sunday morning from parts of east TX into LA with the
    bowing line, particularly as effective SRH becomes maximized with an
    increasing southerly low-level jet across the warm sector. The
    potential for pre-frontal supercells ahead of the line remains
    unclear. Instability is expected to become meager with eastward
    extent late tonight/Sunday morning along the central Gulf Coast,
    which should result in a gradual weakening of the line towards
    sunrise/the end of the period. Still, the threat for at least
    isolated damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two may persist
    given the ample low-level shear forecast.

    ...Western North Texas into Western/Central Oklahoma...
    Cold mid-level temperatures (around -16 to -18C at 500 mb) will be
    present across parts of western north TX into OK this afternoon as
    the upper trough continues eastward over the southern Plains. While
    residual low-level moisture and weak MUCAPE will be present beneath
    the upper trough, relatively modest low/mid-level winds should
    generally temper the threat for large hail with any widely spaced
    cells that can develop this afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM FAR EASTERN
    TEXAS ACROSS LOUISIANA AND INTO SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening and overnight from
    eastern Texas across the Lower Mississippi Valley. A few tornadoes
    along with scattered damaging winds will be possible.

    ...Sabine into the Lower Mississippi Valley...
    A fast-moving shortwave trough will move from TX toward the lower MS
    Valley through Sunday morning, providing lift and cooling aloft. At
    the surface, low pressure will move from the ArkLaTex area into
    northern MS, with a cold front trailing southwest from the low.

    Ahead of the cold front, the air mass will continue to moisten as a
    warm front lifts northward across southern LA and eventually
    southern MS and AL late. Behind the warm front, dewpoints will
    likely rise into the mid 60s F, aided by veering low-level winds and
    40-50 kt at 850 mb.

    The combination of increasing low-level shear will likely result in
    effective SRH values over 200 m2/s2, perhaps near 300 m2/s2 where
    non-zero low-level buoyancy exists. Given the rapid progression of
    the upper trough, a squall line is likely to be maintained
    overnight, possibly reaching southwest AL by 12Z. Both damaging
    winds and a few embedded/QLCS tornadoes will be possible as this
    line interacts with the increasingly moist air mass. The main
    mitigating factor to overall magnitude of severe will be the
    instability values, with MLCAPE averaging 500-750 J/kg overnight.

    For more information see mesoscale discussions #0078 and #0079.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
    ALABAMA ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA...AND OVER MUCH OF THE FLORIDA
    PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today across much of
    northern Florida and into parts of southern Georgia and Alabama.
    Wind damage as well as a tornado or two will be possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A fast-moving shortwave trough will move across the Southeast today,
    with gradual filling/weakening. Moderate midlevel winds over 60 kt
    will spread across AL, GA and northern FL, enhancing deep-layer
    shear, while a weak surface low translates east/northeast from AL
    into the eastern Carolinas. South of the low, a warm front will
    stretch roughly from southern AL into the northeast Gulf Sunday
    morning, and will lift north into GA during the day and ahead of an
    approaching cold front. The combination of lift along the front,
    strong shear profiles and sufficient instability will likely result
    in scattered severe storms producing wind and perhaps a few
    tornadoes throughout the day.

    ...Southern AL and GA into the FL Panhandle/northern FL...
    A squall line is positioned from southwest MS into southeast LA late
    Saturday evening, coincident with the strong midlevel cooling with
    the upper wave. This line of storms is likely to progress eastward
    to at least the MS/AL border before 12Z, and perhaps even into
    central AL and the western FL Panhandle. Southerly surface winds
    will help bring mid 60s F dewpoints northward ahead of the line,
    though much of the area will maintain relatively marginal moisture
    with 50s F dewpoints until the squall line/cold front is near.

    Given the favorable synoptic lift and sufficient instability, the
    line of storms is likely to persist throughout the day, perhaps with
    renewed vigor as it travels across northern FL/southern GA during
    the peak heating hours. Even if the moisture is not particularly
    robust well inland, steeper boundary layer lapse rates combined with
    the linear storm mode and 30-40 kt winds just off the surface will
    support damaging gusts. For southern areas, higher dewpoints as well
    as 200+ m2/s2 effective SRH will support rotation with the line with
    a few QLCS tornadoes possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR FAR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...SOUTHERN GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE INTO NORTH
    FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today across much
    of northern Florida and into parts of southern Georgia and Alabama.
    Wind damage as well as a tornado or two will be possible.

    ...Southeast AL and southern GA into the FL Panhandle/northern FL...

    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a potent mid-level shortwave
    trough moving quickly eastward across the central Gulf Coast.
    Surface analysis indicates a partially modified airmass over the
    northeast Gulf as a warm conveyor contributes to northward-advancing
    moisture ahead of a broken band of convection that has outrun a cold
    front overnight. Model guidance shows a low moving eastward across
    central MS-AL-GA through mid evening.

    The aforementioned pre-frontal band of convection has exhibited a
    notable paucity in lightning during the late overnight hours, which
    has coincided with the diurnal temperature minimum. However, scant
    buoyancy this morning (less than 250 J/kg MLCAPE) will gradually
    increase through the morning into the early afternoon (250-1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE) amidst modest heating and some increase in low-level
    moisture (surface dewpoints rising through the upper 50s to lower to
    mid 60s deg F). The severe risk through mid morning remains unclear
    due to limited buoyancy, but some increase severe-storm threat is expected---see forthcoming MCD #0084 for short-term details.
    Isolated damaging gusts and a brief tornado are possible before the
    greatest window of opportunity for severe appears to occur beginning
    late this morning through the mid-late afternoon as this activity
    moves east into the eastern FL Panhandle/north FL and southern GA.
    The severe risk will likely focus near more intense portions of an eastward-moving band near inflections/bows, as well as a few
    mesovortices. Widely scattered damaging gusts and a couple of brief
    tornadoes are possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO NORTH AND WEST-CENTRAL FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon and
    evening across parts of southern Georgia into north and west-central
    Florida. Both damaging winds and a few tornadoes may occur.

    ...Southeast...
    A mature mid-level cyclone evident in water vapor and visible
    satellite imagery late this morning over MS/AL will continue to move
    quickly eastward across the central Gulf Coast States this
    afternoon, eventually reaching the Atlantic Coast later this
    evening. Latest surface analysis shows a weak low over northern MS
    and greater dewpoints present over the northeast Gulf, as strong
    low-level warm advection contributes to moisture transport ahead of
    an ongoing line of thunderstorms across the FL Panhandle and
    southwest GA.

    This pre-frontal band of convection is gradually strengthening late
    this morning, even with modest mid-level lapse rates and saturated
    profiles through much of the troposphere limiting updraft strength. Boundary-layer instability will gradually increase downstream across
    north FL/southern GA this afternoon as filtered daytime heating and
    some increase in low-level moisture occurs (surface dewpoints rising
    through the upper 50s to low/mid 60s). Peak MLCAPE may reach values
    of 500-1000 J/kg per consensus of 12Z guidance.

    With ample low-level and deep-layer shear associated with the
    mid-level cyclone present over the developing warm sector, organized
    convection mainly in the form of an eastward-moving QLCS is expected
    to persist through the afternoon/evening as this activity moves
    across north FL/southern GA. The northern extent of the severe risk
    into southern/central GA/SC remains uncertain due to weak
    instability forecast across these areas, but some guidance suggests
    additional strong convection may develop across these areas in
    closer proximity to cooler temperatures aloft with the upper trough.

    Given the expected strength of the low/mid-level flow and related
    shear, scattered damaging winds and a few embedded tornadoes are
    possible wherever this line can become/remain surface based. The
    Slight Risk has been expanded southward to include more of the
    west-central FL Peninsula based on expectations for the broken line
    to impact this region amid greater low-level moisture/instability
    and sufficient deep-layer shear for organized convection. For more
    details on the near-term severe threat across parts of the FL
    Panhandle and southwest GA, reference Mesoscale Discussion 85.

    Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon and
    evening across parts of southern Georgia into north and west-central
    Florida. Both damaging winds and a few tornadoes may occur.

    ...20z Update...
    A line of thunderstorms continues eastward into the eastern FL Panhandle/northern FL Peninsula. Ahead of this line, dew points are
    in the mid to upper 50s. MLCAPE remains somewhat weak inland, though
    some slow increase is noted ahead of the line amid south-westerly
    warm air advection and filtered daytime heating. Regardless of
    weaker thermal profiles, strong upper level flow persists with deep
    layer shear for organization remaining strong across the eastern FL
    Panhandle into the northern FL Peninsula. The threat for strong
    convection with potential for damaging wind and a tornado will
    continue inland for the next few hours.

    A Marginal Risk was maintained across portions of southern/central
    Georgia where some redevelopment of thunderstorms is noted over the
    last hour. The modestly unstable air mass ahead of this activity may
    support potential for isolated damaging gusts through the afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER
    NORTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong storms remain possible this evening over parts of
    north-central Florida and southeast Georgia, with gusty winds most
    likely.

    ...Discussions...
    A shortwave trough is currently moving across GA and FL. Between 00
    and 06Z, rapid warming aloft will occur over the region, which will
    likely gradually reduce storm strength.

    Currently, the main zone of thunderstorm activity extends in a
    west-east oriented band extending from the northeastern Gulf to just
    north of Tampa and into the Atlantic, with lower-topped convection
    beneath the cool pocket over southern GA. While deep-layer shear is
    formidable at over 50 kt, thermodynamic profiles are not
    particularly favorable. Area soundings at 00Z indicate a subsidence
    inversion around 700 mb, though this is less prominent at TBW. Given
    the loss of heating and the departing wave, storms are not expected
    to increase in intensity, however, moderate westerly winds in the
    low-levels, as well as 200+ effective SRH within the band of storms
    north of Tampa could potentially produce a few damaging wind gusts.
    A very brief tornado cannot be completely ruled out given the
    strongly veering winds with height.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
    THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL COUNTIES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact the coastal areas of central and
    southern California this afternoon and evening. These storms may
    produce locally damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

    ...Coastal central into southern CA...
    A potent upper trough will move across CA during the afternoon and
    evening, with a 100+ kt midlevel jet nosing across southern CA. At
    the surface, low pressure will deepen as it moves into central CA,
    with a cold front affecting much of the coastline after 18Z. Strong
    wind convergence along the front will result in a line of shallow
    convection, with embedded thunderstorms possible. This line is
    likely to affect the central coastline by around 18Z, and through
    the remainder of southern CA by 00Z. Strong wind gusts will be
    likely, with a few locations possibly reaching over 50 kt. Weak
    instability and cool surface temperatures will be mitigating factors
    to tornado risk, however, embedded circulations within the line
    cannot be ruled out.

    ...Interior Valleys...
    It appears substantial precipitation will hamper
    heating/destabilization for much of the day, with very little SBCAPE
    evident on various model forecast soundings. As such, despite model
    low-level warm advection with veering winds with height, it appears
    lapses rates may not quite favor severe convection, and the low
    probabilities have been removed.

    ...Coastal southwest OR and northern CA...Late...
    Overnight, an upper trough will dive southward just off the Pacific
    Northwest, with the left-exit region of the upper jet pushing into
    northern CA early Tuesday morning. While surface temperatures will
    be cool and in the 40s F in the wake of the earlier wave, this
    secondary trough will bring cold temperatures aloft with and 500 mb temperatures to around -35 C. As such, SBCAPE of a few hundred J/kg
    will exist as the cold front moves across the coastal counties.
    Low-topped convection may produce graupel, along with locally strong
    wind gusts.

    Strong thunderstorms may impact the coastal areas of central and
    southern California today. These storms may produce locally
    damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

    ...Coastal central into southern CA...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a potent upper trough over
    the eastern Pacific with this feature forecast to move across CA
    through the evening. Within the base of the trough, an intense
    cyclonically curved speed max (around 100 kt at 500 mb) will nose
    east into the US/Mexican border and Baja California by late this
    afternoon before moving into the Desert Southwest tonight.

    In the low levels, an elongated area of surface low pressure will
    migrate from the central coast into the interior valleys, and
    subsequently into the northern Great Basin/ID by later this evening.
    An attendant cold front will push inland during the day with shallow
    convective squalls likely focusing along or ahead of the front.
    Forecast soundings show meager buoyancy developing immediately ahead
    of the convection which may aid in a few stronger/deeper updrafts.
    Ample flow in the lowest 1-km MSL may result in a few
    stronger/locally damaging gusts with short bands/segments within the
    broader rain shield. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out before
    this limited risk is shunted southward along the coast and it
    dissipates by early evening.

    ...Coastal southwest OR and northern CA...
    Overnight, an upper trough will dive southward just off the Pacific
    Northwest, with the left-exit region of the upper jet pushing into
    northern CA early Tuesday morning. While surface temperatures will

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact the coastal areas of central and
    southern California today. These storms may produce locally
    damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

    ...Coastal Central and Southern CA...
    Recent satellite imagery continues to show a strong shortwave trough
    off the southern CA coast. Robust low-level wind fields precede this
    shortwave, with recent mesoanalysis and KVBX VAD profiles showing
    southerly winds around 40 to 50 kt at 1 km over Santa Barbara and
    San Luis Obispo counties. Despite very meager buoyancy, regional
    radar imagery does show some deeper convective elements moving eastward/northeastward from along the Santa Barbara county coast to
    just west of the northern Channel Islands. Strong forcing for ascent
    will continue across the region throughout the day, although a
    southward shift is anticipated over the next few hours as a strong
    mid-level jet streak approaches the coast of far southern CA. This
    stronger forcing may result in a southward extension of the ongoing
    band, or the development of a separate band farther south.

    Given the intense wind fields in place over the region, any deeper
    more sustained convection could result in localized strong gusts and
    perhaps even a brief tornado. Current trends suggest this severe
    potential will gradually shift southward across southern CA
    throughout the day. However, this threat should be limited/very
    isolated given the scant buoyancy in place and resulting expectation
    that any deeper convection should be brief and too shallow to
    produce lightning.

    ...Coastal southwest OR and northern CA...
    An upper trough will dive southward just off the Pacific Northwest
    tonight, with the left-exit region of the upper jet pushing into
    northern CA early Tuesday morning. While surface temperatures will
    be cool (in the 40s F) in the wake of the earlier wave, this
    secondary trough will bring cold temperatures aloft with and 500 mb temperatures to around -35 C. As such, 100-200 J/kg of SBCAPE will
    exist along the immediate coast, and a few instances of low-topped
    convection may yield locally strong wind gusts as the cold front
    moves through.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS COASTAL
    PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may impact the coastal areas of central and
    southern California today. These storms may produce locally
    damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a brief tornado.

    ...20z Update...
    No changes were made to the D1 Convective Outlook. Bands of
    thunderstorm activity continue to move onshore across portions of
    the southern California coast, with potential for gusty winds and
    brief tornado. The threat will gradually shift southward through the afternoon/evening with the gradual movement inland of the
    upper-level wave. See previous discussion for more information.

    ..Thornton.. 02/16/2026

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1024 AM CST Mon Feb 16 2026/

    ...Coastal Central and Southern CA...
    Recent satellite imagery continues to show a strong shortwave trough
    off the southern CA coast. Robust low-level wind fields precede this
    shortwave, with recent mesoanalysis and KVBX VAD profiles showing
    southerly winds around 40 to 50 kt at 1 km over Santa Barbara and
    San Luis Obispo counties. Despite very meager buoyancy, regional
    radar imagery does show some deeper convective elements moving eastward/northeastward from along the Santa Barbara county coast to
    just west of the northern Channel Islands. Strong forcing for ascent
    will continue across the region throughout the day, although a
    southward shift is anticipated over the next few hours as a strong
    mid-level jet streak approaches the coast of far southern CA. This
    stronger forcing may result in a southward extension of the ongoing
    band, or the development of a separate band farther south.

    Given the intense wind fields in place over the region, any deeper
    more sustained convection could result in localized strong gusts and
    perhaps even a brief tornado. Current trends suggest this severe
    potential will gradually shift southward across southern CA
    throughout the day. However, this threat should be limited/very
    isolated given the scant buoyancy in place and resulting expectation
    that any deeper convection should be brief and too shallow to
    produce lightning.

    ...Coastal southwest OR and northern CA...
    An upper trough will dive southward just off the Pacific Northwest
    tonight, with the left-exit region of the upper jet pushing into
    northern CA early Tuesday morning. While surface temperatures will
    be cool (in the 40s F) in the wake of the earlier wave, this
    secondary trough will bring cold temperatures aloft with and 500 mb temperatures to around -35 C. As such, 100-200 J/kg of SBCAPE will
    exist along the immediate coast, and a few instances of low-topped
    convection may yield locally strong wind gusts as the cold front
    moves through.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storm are not forecast through Tuesday morning. Scattered
    storms are still expected tonight from southwest Oregon into
    northern California late tonight, with isolated activity into
    southern California.

    ...West Coast...
    A shortwave trough and cold front will continue moving out of
    southern CA and into parts of AZ and UT and western CO through the
    night. Isolated convective showers and a few lightning flashes will
    remain possible over southern CA through tonight due to cold
    temperatures aloft and as secondary disturbance rotates through the
    base of the trough.

    To the north, another large upper trough with very cold temperatures
    aloft will dive southeastward off the WA/OR coasts, with increasing
    shoreline convergence with an attendant cold front. The 00Z UIL
    sounding shows the very cold temperatures and steep lapse rates
    through a deep layer, despite cool surface temperatures, with
    isolated lightning offshore at this time. Later tonight, showers and
    a few thunderstorms may impact parts of western OR and northern CA,
    but severe weather is not expected.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across Pacific coastal areas much of
    California Tuesday, and across parts of the mid Missouri Valley into
    the Upper Midwest late. The risk for severe storms appears low.

    ...Pacific Coastal States...
    An upper low will drop south toward the coastal Pacific Northwest
    today as a strong upper speed max noses into central CA by 00Z. This
    feature will translate southward overnight and into southern CA by
    12Z Wed. North of the upper jet, very cold temperatures aloft will
    exist which will result in a few hundred J/kg SBCAPE despite cool
    surface conditions. While favorable shear profiles will develop
    southward through the central valleys, surface temperatures will
    largely be in the 40s to perhaps lower 50s F, with generally limited
    heating. Very small hail cannot be ruled out in the strongest
    convection given long hodographs and such cold temperatures aloft,
    but severe storms are not currently forecast.

    ...Mid MO Valley / Upper Midwest...
    A leading shortwave trough will move into the Plains today, with a
    strong speed max aloft from NM into KS by 00Z. The strongest cooling
    aloft and lift will occur from NE into the Dakotas, and into western
    MN/IA be evening. Low pressure will develop into SD during the
    afternoon, with a cold front pushing toward the mid MO Valley. While
    surface heating as well as boundary-layer mixing will steepen
    low-level lapse rates in the veered flow, it appears capping may
    hold atop the plume of 40s F dewpoints ahead of the wind shift. An
    isolated thunderstorm cannot totally be ruled out through 00Z, but a
    greater chance will exist as minimal elevated instability develops
    near the nose of the 850 mb jet with lift focused across MN and WI.
    Instability does not appear strong enough to support severe hail
    with this elevated activity.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe storms appears low, but isolated thunderstorms
    will be possible across parts of the West, and across the Upper
    Midwest late this afternoon and tonight.

    ...Western States/Coastal California...
    A prominent upper-level trough will continue to settle
    south-southeastward along the West Coast through tonight, with a
    strong upper speed max nosing across central/southern California
    late today into tonight. North of the upper jet, very cold
    temperatures aloft will exist which will result in a few hundred
    J/kg SBCAPE, mainly for northern/central coastal areas today. While
    gusty winds and/or small hail could occur, organized severe storm
    potential is currently expected to remain low.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Consequential height falls will steadily occur regionally by late
    afternoon into tonight as a lead shortwave trough emerges from the northern/central High Plains. A related surface low will develop
    generally eastward across South Dakota/northern Nebraska toward
    Minnesota overnight. A moisture-limited warm sector, featuring
    mostly 40s with a few lower 50s F surface dewpoints, will shift north-northeastward toward the region in advance of an
    eastward-accelerating cold front.

    Surface heating/boundary-layer mixing will steepen low-level lapse
    rates into afternoon in vicinity of the surface low/front, and while
    capping may tend to largely prevail during the day, a few
    thunderstorms could occur before sunset initially across the eastern
    Dakotas and/or far eastern Nebraska. Some convectively enhanced wind
    gusts are plausible given the steep lapse rates and strong
    deep-tropospheric wind field. Elevated thunderstorms will otherwise
    become more probable east-northeastward into evening and beyond
    across the Upper Midwest. Instability does not appear strong enough
    to support severe hail with this elevated activity.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE
    CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the
    West today through tonight. Isolated thunderstorms are also
    anticipated across the Upper Midwest late this afternoon and
    tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows several disturbances across the
    western CONUS, including a pair of low-amplitude shortwave troughs
    within the belt of strong southwesterly flow extending from the
    central Pacific into the central Plains and a deepening upper low
    off the Pacific Northwest coast. Intense surface cyclogenesis is
    anticipated ahead of the lead shortwave as it moves quickly
    northeastward, with the resulting surface low forecast to move
    across SD/NE, ending the period over southern MN. Evolution of this
    surface low and parent shortwave, which will become increasingly
    negatively tilted throughout the day and overnight, will result in
    strong forcing for ascent from the Mid MO Valley into the Upper
    Midwest this evening and overnight.

    Farther west, the previously mentioned upper low is expected to drop
    slowly southward as a strong jet (i.e. 100 kt at 500 mb) pivots
    around its western and southern periphery. Very cold mid-level
    temperatures and strong/persistent forcing for ascent will support
    isolated thunderstorms along across much of the West coast
    throughout the day and tonight.

    ...Coastal California...
    Limited buoyancy is expected to develop along the near coastal areas
    of CA as very cold mid-level temperatures (i.e. -25 to -30 deg C at
    500 mb) associated with the upper low continue to advect into the
    region. This buoyancy coupled with the strong forcing for ascent
    could result in some deeper, more persistent updrafts across the
    region today, both within the primary frontal band and any more
    bowing line segments that may follow it. Given the robust deep layer
    flow across the region, any deeper, more persistent updrafts could
    result in some stronger, convectively augmented gusts. Additionally,
    there appears to be enough low-level curvature to support a brief
    tornado or two within the immediate coastal regions. Highest
    potential for either hazards currently appears to be after 00Z in
    the San Luis Obispo/Santa Barbara county areas.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Some low-level moisture return is anticipated across the region
    ahead of the previously mentioned shortwave trough and associated
    forcing for ascent. Even so, low-level moisture will still be
    limited, with dewpoints likely remaining in the upper 40s to perhaps
    low 50s. This is not expected to be enough moisture for surface
    destabilization across most of the region, despite strong surface heating/boundary-layer mixing and steepening low-level lapse rates
    in vicinity of the surface low/front. The only exception is across
    far southeast SD and far northeast NE where a high-based storm or
    two cannot be completely ruled out. Any that does develop could
    produce an strong gust or two, although coverage will likely remain
    less than 10%.

    Across the Upper Midwest, capping may tend to largely prevail during
    the day, with elevated thunderstorms becoming more probable
    east-northeastward of IA into the MN/WI throughout the evening and
    overnight. Instability does not appear strong enough to support
    severe hail with this elevated activity.

    Isolated strong thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the
    West today through tonight. Isolated thunderstorms are also
    anticipated across the Upper Midwest late this afternoon and
    tonight.

    ...Eastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa...
    Near the base of a negative-tilt shortwave trough and a pronounced
    100+ kt mid-level jet, strong ascent is expected to develop late
    this afternoon amid a mixed and modestly moist air mass. Cool
    mid-level temperatures and surface dewpoints in the 40s and 50s F
    may allow a few hundred J/kg of buoyancy to develop. This
    destabilization and strong ascent may support a fast-moving arc of
    high-based showers/thunderstorms, particularly where surface
    temperatures reach into the 60s and dewpoints hold above 40 F.

    While buoyancy will be weak, dry low-levels and strong
    dynamics/background flow could support efficient downward mixing of
    momentum to the surface. Isolated severe/damaging gusts are possible
    this afternoon and evening from parts of eastern NE into
    west-central IA. Convection should weaken rapidly with eastward
    extent

    Elsewhere, isolated strong storms remain possible across portions of
    the CA coast ahead of a strong secondary upper trough. This is most
    likely overnight with a few damaging gusts or a brief tornado the
    primary risks owing to very strong flow and modest inland moisture
    advection. No changes were made to the outlook here, see the prior
    discussion for more info.

    that may produce some instances of damaging wind. A low tornado risk

    flow progged to increase overnight.

    High-based convection across far eastern Nebraska has showed signs
    of weakening over the last hour, with a downward trend in lightning.
    Guidance shows little in the way of additional development through
    the rest of the evening. The Marginal Risk across this region was

    Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are possible along parts

    ...Discussion...
    A series of mid-level troughs will traverse the CONUS Wednesday
    morning through late Thursday. Across the western US, a trough will
    gradually shift across the Great Basin with enhanced mid-level flow overspreading the Desert Southwest into the central/southern High
    Plains. Forcing for ascent and cooling temperatures aloft will bring
    scattered thunderstorm activity across the central California coast
    to the Oregon/Washington Coast. Additional thunderstorm development
    will be possible across the southern Great Basin into the central
    Rockies. Generally weak thermal profiles will limit severe potential
    with this activity.

    A secondary trough will continue to shift northeast across the Great
    Lakes Region. Scattered thunderstorm development will be possible
    along an eastward moving front within a narrow region of warm air
    advection. Given the generally narrow/weak region of marginal
    instability, activity is this region is expected to remain
    sub-severe.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe weather is not expected today or tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    With an amplified large-scale pattern over the CONUS, an upper low
    will continue to cross the Upper Midwest toward Lake Superior, with
    preceding warm/moist advection and DPVA contributing to isolated
    thunderstorms across parts of the Great Lakes region, mainly early
    today.

    In the West, a band of convection will continue to move inland early
    this morning across coastal southern California in association with
    a cold front. Diminishing convective potential is otherwise expected
    today across most of California. However, isolated thunderstorm will
    be possible later this afternoon and tonight across the coastal
    Pacific Northwest and northern California as a secondary shortwave
    trough digs southward along the coast. Isolated thunderstorms will
    also be possible across the eastern Great Basin and central Rockies
    mainly this afternoon. Here, sufficient diurnal mixing and a zone of
    stronger mid-level southwesterly flow aloft could account for some
    convectively enhanced wind gusts, but overall severe potential
    should remain minimal.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe weather is not expected today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a very active upper pattern with
    numerous shortwave troughs embedded within the broad troughing that
    covers the CONUS. Lead shortwave in this series is currently
    maturing over the Upper Midwest, with evolution into a cyclone
    expected by this evening. A pair of lower amplitude shortwaves exist
    farther west, one entering the central Plains and another over the
    southern Great Basin. Lastly, a strong shortwave is currently
    dropping quickly southward through the northeast Pacific, preceded
    by yet another low-amplitude shortwave moving into the central CA
    Coast.

    All of these waves are displaced either north or west of the better
    low-level moisture, which is in place from central TX to the central
    Gulf Coast. This displacement will mitigate the overall severe
    potential, although thunderstorms are still expected across several
    areas, including the central Intermountain West into the central
    Rockies ahead of the southern Great Basin shortwave, and along the
    West Coast as the northeast Pacific shortwave drops south along the
    coast. Highest coverage ahead of the Great Basin wave will likely
    occur along the UT/CO this evening. Highest coverage along the West
    Coast is anticipated along OR coast where multiple bands should move
    through during the period. A secondary max is likely farther south
    in the Monterey Bay Vicinity late tonight/early tomorrow morning.

    Isolated elevated thunderstorms also remain possible this afternoon
    from Lower MI into northeast OH/northwestern PA as the vorticity max
    currently over OH moves into the region. Mid-levels will be dry but
    lapse rates will be steep, and there could be just enough low-level
    moisture to support limited buoyancy and a few thunderstorms as the
    vorticity max moves through.

    Lastly, strengthening low-level flow within the moistening low-level
    airmass could support a few isolated thunderstorms across Middle TN
    and adjacent far south-central KY tonight.

    Severe storms are not expected today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A negative-tilt shortwave trough responsible for isolated
    thunderstorms over eastern Lower MI this evening will continue to
    lift north across the Great Lakes, while westerly winds at 850 mb
    maintain a degree of instability over southwest Ontario and perhaps
    into parts of western NY. Thunderstorm chances here will be
    relatively low.

    To the south, height falls will occur overnight across the Mid MS
    and OH Valleys as a low-amplitude shortwave trough moves across KS
    and OK. Isolated activity may occur into Thursday morning from parts
    of MO into TN and IL/IN as elevated instability develops within a
    subtle warm advection regime ahead of the upper trough.

    Elsewhere, lift will increase across northern CA as a shortwave
    trough dives southeastward just offshore. Cold temperatures aloft
    and relatively warmer air near the coast may yield a few lightning
    flashes overnight.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN MISSOURI
    ACROSS MUCH OF ILLINOIS...INDIANA...KENTUCKY...OHIO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms, with potential for a couple tornadoes, large
    hail and damaging wind gusts are possible across parts of the middle Mississippi to lower Ohio Valleys today. Storms may produce strong
    gusts over parts of coastal central California this morning.

    ...Mid MS Valley / Midwest / OH Valley...
    Strong southwest flow aloft will stretch from AZ/NM across OK/TX and
    into the mid MS Valley and OH Valleys. As a trough begins to amplify
    across the central Plains, significant warming aloft will occur in
    the midlevels, which may impact quality of instability over the
    Midwest. However, low-level moisture will already be in place with
    50s F dewpoints common and perhaps lower 60s F toward the lower OH
    Valley, which will initially support favorable instability profiles
    between 12-18Z today, before the stronger warming aloft occurs.

    Low pressure will deepen into MO during the day and move into lower
    MI by 12Z Friday. A 40 kt low-level jet beneath strong midlevel
    winds will result in long hodographs, and, 200-300 m2/s2 SRH over
    much of the warm sector including eastern MO, IL, IN, KY, and OH.
    Strong heating over MO will result in steep lapse rates and storms
    are likely to form there near 12-15Z. This activity should generally
    spread northeastward during the day across IL and IN, perhaps
    extending into western KY. A couple supercells appear likely, with tornado/hail/wind potential. Behind this initial/midday activity,
    the rapid warming aloft may reduce potential for additional storms.
    However, elevated instability should support storms producing hail
    farther northeast in the warm advection regime across the upper OH
    Valley and perhaps approaching Lake Erie.

    ...Central CA Coast...
    A line of shallow convection is forecast to be ongoing close to
    Monterey County at 12Z this morning, and this activity will
    translate southward along the coast through 15-18Z. Forecast
    soundings indicate shallow SBCAPE of 100-200 J/kg, along with
    moderate mean boundary-layer winds just off the surface. As such,
    locally strong to damaging gusts cannot be ruled out as the front
    pushes south.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
    ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms including a few tornadoes, large hail and
    damaging wind gusts are expected across parts of the Midwest and
    lower Ohio Valley today. Elsewhere, storms may produce strong wind
    gusts over parts of coastal south-central California early today.

    ...Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    A strong belt (80-100 kt at 500 mb) of cyclonically influenced
    westerlies will extend from the Southwest Deserts to the Ohio and
    Tennessee Valleys, with modest late-day trough amplification over
    the central Plains and Lower Missouri Valley. A related surface low
    will transition east-northeastward across the Lower Missouri Valley
    toward southern Lake Michigan tonight. A modestly moist warm sector
    will become increasingly established, characterized by mostly 50s F
    surface dewpoints, northward from the Mid-South across most of
    Illinois/Indiana into western/southern Ohio by early evening.

    A steady strengthening of southwesterly winds aloft will occur
    today, increasingly atop/coincident with the modestly moist
    warm-sector boundary layer. Long hodographs will be prevalent with
    upwards of 50-60 kt effective shear by afternoon. Around 200-350
    m2/s2 0-1 km SRH is expected to be maximized on the southeast
    periphery of the surface low and in vicinity of the warm front, with
    the favorable zone including southern Illinois, southern Indiana and
    northern Kentucky.

    Increasing storm development should occur by late morning/midday
    across eastern Missouri, with maturing/increasingly surface-based
    storms near and just north of the I-70 corridor in southern Illinois
    by early afternoon. A semi-focused zone of peak severe/tornado
    potential may unfold generally near I-70, southward to near I-64,
    across southern Illinois and southern Indiana this afternoon through early/mid-evening. Sufficient forcing and boundary layer
    warming/mixing should allow for at least isolated semi-discrete
    development southward into the warm sector, and if so, relatively
    long-lived multi-hour supercells are plausible, with all hazards
    possible, but notably including heightened tornado potential, a few
    of which could be strong (EF2+). Given the limited early season
    moisture, the boundary layer will tend to become more hostile to
    surface-based storms and overall severe potential into mid/late
    evening.

    ...Coastal South-Central California...
    Bands of shallow convection will continue to move inland this
    morning. Weak destabilization, along with moderate mean
    boundary-layer winds just off the surface, could allow for locally
    strong to damaging gusts as the front progresses southeastward.

    ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms including a few tornadoes, large hail and
    damaging wind gusts are expected across parts of the Midwest and
    lower Ohio Valley today.

    ...Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    Recent surface analysis places a low over eastern KS with a dryline
    extending southwestward from this low through central OK and into
    west TX. A warm front also extends eastward from this low across
    central MO through central IL and central IN, separating the
    moistening airmass south from the stable and cold airmass north.
    Surface observations currently show mid 50s dewpoints through
    southern IL and southern IN, with the 60s dewpoints farther south
    into western KY. This surface low is forecast to progress
    northeastward across central MO and into west-central IL today
    before continuing northeastward into the southern Lake Michigan
    vicinity by early tomorrow. Continued northward moisture advection
    is anticipated as this low progresses, but this low-level moistening
    will be countered somewhat by boundary-layer mixing, resulting in
    some uncertainty to how high the dewpoints will reach across the OH
    Valley this afternoon. General consensus places upper 50s dewpoints
    into the I-70 corridor by the late afternoon.

    These increasing dewpoints coupled with cold temperatures aloft and
    afternoon temperatures in the upper 60s/low 70s should result in
    modest airmass destabilization within the warm sector, despite a
    relatively warm layer between 850-700 mb. In addition to improving thermodynamics, the deep-layer southwesterly flow is forecast to
    strengthen as well. The strongest mid-level flow will likely be
    displaced just south of the better thermodynamics, but forecast
    shear profiles are still quite robust across the OH Valley. The
    general expectation is for this robust vertical shear (i.e.
    effective bulk shear over 50 kt this afternoon) to somewhat
    compensate for the more modest buoyancy, resulting in an organized
    storm mode and supercells.

    The dryline will likely remain west of this region during the
    afternoon, with the lift over the warm sector provided by a subtle
    lead shortwave currently moving through southern MO. This shortwave
    should interact with the warm sector across the OH Valley this
    afternoon, supporting thunderstorm development. Overall coverage is
    not expected to be high, but any storms that do mature could produce
    all severe hazards, including tornadoes. Additionally, the robust
    shear suggests that once a storm matures, it could persist for
    several hours. Given this updraft persistence in the presence of
    veering low-level wind profiles, a strong (EF2+) tornado is
    possible.

    Additional thunderstorms are possible along the front during the
    evening and overnight from the TN Valley eastward into the central Appalachians. A few strong to severe storms are possible, but
    limited buoyancy should keep this potential isolated. Greatest
    probability for a severe storm along the front currently appears to
    be across western/middle TN and southern-central KY this evening.

    ...20Z Update...
    No changes to the ongoing forecast appear to be needed at this time.
    Dewpoints have had a tendency to mix into the upper 50s F this
    afternoon in the lower Ohio Valley region. Convection has thus far
    struggled to mature/intensify as a result. Areas of southern
    Illinois into southwestern Indiana should be favored for more robust

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms including a tornado or two, large hail and
    sporadic damaging gusts remain possible across parts of the Midwest
    and lower Ohio Valley this evening.

    ...Discussion...
    Scattered strong to severe storms persist this evening from the
    surface low in central IL eastward along a warm front into central
    IN/northern KY. Area soundings at 00Z show modest instability, with
    moderately steep lapse rates mainly below 500 mb. However, a warm
    layer continues to spread across the area out of the southwest,
    which is limiting instability. Deep layer shear remains strong
    across the entire region, conditionally favorable for hail
    production. Low-level shear in association with the warm front and
    40-50 kt 850 mb flow will also support a continued supercell and
    possibly tornado risk primarily along the warm front. Otherwise,
    sufficient elevated instability ahead of the low may support
    sporadic marginal hail from IL across the remainder of IN and OH.

    For southern KY into TN, more of a conditional risk of strong to
    severe storms remains. The 00Z BNA sounding shows a supercell wind
    profile, with modest moisture/instability. As the cold front pushed
    east this evening, a supercell or two cannot be ruled out assuming
    weak convergence along the front is enough to initiate storms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely-scattered thunderstorms may occur today over parts of the
    Southeast and Mid Atlantic. Severe storms are not forecast.

    ...Synopsis/Discussion...
    A shortwave trough will move quickly across the Great Lakes and into
    the Northeast, with a surface low developing off the coastal Mid
    Atlantic. Over land, a cold front will push east across VA and the
    Carolinas, with rapid drying from the west. Despite this, a few showers/thunderstorms will be possible prior to the front moving
    offshore. Warm profiles aloft suggest weak storms, but strong
    westerlies just off the surface could support gusty winds.

    To the south, the tail end of this front will stall in east-west
    fashion across LA and southern MS/AL/GA. This boundary will move
    northward overnight across parts of MS/AL/GA, with increasing
    southwest flow at 850 mb ahead of another wave moving across the
    southern Plains. Meanwhile, height tendencies aloft will be neutral.
    While showers and a few thunderstorms may occur in this warm
    advection regime late in the day and overnight, it appears warm
    profiles aloft should reduce hail potential despite strong
    deep-layer shear.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

    ...Discussion...
    A shortwave trough will move quickly eastward across the Great Lakes
    into the Northeast, with a surface low developing off the coastal
    Mid-Atlantic. Over land, a cold front will progress eastward across
    Virginia and the Carolinas, with rapid drying from the west. Despite
    this, a few showers/thunderstorms will be possible prior to the
    front moving offshore. Warm profiles aloft suggest weak storms, but
    strong westerlies just off the surface could yield gusty winds.

    The south-southwest extent of front will decelerate today and then
    generally stall, orienting in a west/southwest-east/northeast
    fashion across Louisiana, southern portions of Mississippi/Alabama
    and the middle part of Georgia by late today. Isolated thunderstorms
    may become a bit more probable into tonight as weak ascent focuses
    along/north of the front. That said, relatively warm mid-level
    thermodynamic profiles may limit the prevalence of lightning, as
    well as any consideration for meaningful hail magnitudes. This is
    even while elevated instability will quantitatively increase and
    hodographs will be rather long, with steadily strengthening
    southwesterly winds in the lowest 2-3 km AGL and 50+ kt shear
    through the cloud-bearing layer. While a couple of strong storms
    could occur tonight, thinking remains that the potential for severe
    storms should remain low/conditional.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
    NORTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few damaging gusts are possible across eastern North Carolina this
    afternoon.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Recent satellite imagery shows several cyclones and shortwave
    troughs within the upper pattern across the CONUS this morning. The
    most prominent is the cyclone currently over the southern Lake
    Michigan vicinity. Surface analysis places the surface low
    associated with system in the same location, revealing the stacked
    and mature character of this system. An occluded front extends
    southeastward from this low across southern Lower MI into northwest
    PA before arcing more southward across western PA, central WV, and
    far western VA. Here it intersects the stationary wedge front over
    far northeast NC before transitioning to a cold front and continuing southwestward/west-southwestward through Southeast states.

    ...Carolinas into the Southeast...
    General expectation is for the northern portion of this cold front
    to continue eastward/southeastward throughout the day as its parent
    cyclone shifts eastward as well. This will take the front off the
    Mid-Atlantic Coast later tonight. Isolated thunderstorms are
    anticipated along and ahead of this front across the eastern
    Carolinas. Despite favorable low-level moisture (i.e. dewpoints in
    mid 60s), warm temperatures aloft will mitigate the overall
    buoyancy, likely tempering updraft strength and persistence. Even
    so, the moderate to strong deep-layer western flow may still support
    a few damaging gusts, particularly across northeast NC where some
    additional lift may be provided by interaction with the stationary
    wedge front.

    Farther south, the front is expected to stall later this
    afternoon/evening from southern GA west-southwestward into southern
    LA. Some strengthening of the low-level flow is anticipated in the
    vicinity of this boundary ahead of another shortwave progressing
    eastward across the central Plains. Resulting warm-air advection
    amid the modestly moist and buoyant environment will foster isolated
    to widely scattered thunderstorm development overnight. Moderate to
    strong mid to upper-level southwesterlies will be in place,
    supporting sufficient vertical shear for organized updrafts.
    However, thermodynamic profiles should be relatively warm, limiting
    buoyancy and likely tempering the overall severe potential. While a
    couple of strong storms could occur tonight, current thinking
    remains that the potential for severe storms should remain
    low/conditional.

    ...Northwest PA and Southwestern NY...
    Low-topped convection is anticipated along the occluded front across
    northwest PA and western NY this afternoon. This convection may not
    even be deep enough for lightning but a few stronger, convectively
    aided gusts are possible.

    ...01z Update...

    Midlevel short-wave trough is advancing east across eastern CO/NM
    early this evening. In response, 850mb flow is beginning to increase
    across the southern Plains. Latest satellite/radar imagery support
    this with weak convection now developing in response to low-level
    warm advection across southern OK/AR. Later this evening, lightning
    is expected to develop with this activity downstream across the
    lower MS Valley, but forecast soundings suggest MUCAPE/lapse rates
    will be a bit too weak to warrant any meaningful risk for severe
    hail. As 850mb flow becomes more westerly late tonight, scattered
    convection will spread/develop across the Gulf States, especially
    along/north of the synoptic front which will be draped from central
    MS/AL into SC.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN GULF
    STATES TO THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the eastern Gulf and south Atlantic coast states. Damaging gusts,
    large hail, and perhaps a brief tornado are the expected hazards.

    ...Gulf States/South Atlantic Coast...

    Strong short-wave trough is ejecting east across KS/northern OK late
    this evening as a secondary 500mb speed max digs southeast toward
    the central High Plains. As the secondary short wave digs southeast,
    the northern/southern stream will become more phased over the MS
    Valley by late afternoon. Net result will be to suppress the primary
    corridor of strong west-southwesterly midlevel flow across the
    southern Plains/Gulf states into the middle Atlantic. As heights
    fall across the Midwest into the northern Gulf states, pressures
    will rise over the interior CONUS and the synoptic front should
    begin to surge southeast across the lower MS Valley.

    Late this evening, scattered thunderstorms have developed over
    northern MS/AL, just north of the boundary within a zone of
    low-level warm advection. This activity should spread east and
    should be ongoing at the start of the period along the cool side of
    the boundary. While much of day1 convection will be elevated north
    of the wind shift, some boundary-layer heating is expected across
    the warm sector, and modest SBCAPE is expected where surface dew
    points will range from the upper 60s to near 70F. Forecast soundings
    suggest more than adequate deep-layer shear for sustaining organized
    rotating updrafts. Low-level shear is not expected to be
    particularly noteworthy so damaging gusts and hail are the primary
    concerns, though a brief tornado can not be ruled out. Convection
    will develop/spread east along the frontal zone and the greatest
    risk for robust convection will be during the afternoon/evening
    hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
    STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the
    Southeast today into this evening. Damaging wind gusts, large hail,
    and perhaps a tornado are the expected hazards.

    ...Southeast States...
    Clustered bands of thunderstorms have increased across east-central
    Mississippi and central Alabama into northwest/west-central Georgia
    during the predawn hours. These elevated storms are occurring on the
    immediate cool side of a front that is draped
    west/southwest-east/northeast across the region. These storms may
    further increase and organize early today. The aggregating storm
    mode and residually warm mid-level temperatures/modest mid-level
    lapse rates should tend to temper hail potential. However, the
    storms may become surface-based with time owing to diurnal heating
    cycle and potential gradual cold pool-related storm propagation
    toward the warm/moist side of the front where upper 60s F surface
    dewpoints will persist through peak boundary layer mixing. This
    scenario will potentially contribute to damaging wind potential into
    late morning, and more so this afternoon across southeast Alabama
    into southwest/south-central Georgia. Additional strong/severe storm development may occur farther west later this afternoon across a
    broader part of far southern Alabama/Florida Panhandle near the
    front.

    Low-level shear is initially strong but low-level flow is veered west-southwesterly and will tend to weaken over time. Regardless,
    long semi-unidirectional hodographs, particularly above 2.5 km AGL,
    will persist with 50+ kt effective shear. This will support
    organized storm modes potentially including bowing segments and
    possibly a couple of splitting supercells.

    Overall, damaging winds and hail are expected to be the primary
    hazards, with some tornado potential as well, albeit relatively
    limited and dependent on warm-sector development. While short-term uncertainties exist regarding the magnitude of today's severe risk,
    areas such as southeast Alabama and southwest/south-central Georgia
    will be closely reevaluated in subsequent outlooks for a possible
    categorical Slight Risk upgrade, mainly for damaging wind potential.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Florida Peninsula
    during the day. Lightning may also occur across coastal areas from
    North Carolina to southern New England, and over western Washington
    State.

    ...Discussion...

    Strong short-wave trough is digging southeast toward the OH Valley
    late this evening. This feature will phase with the southern stream
    and induce a surface low off the NC coast early in the period.
    Intense deepening is expected with this offshore cyclone which will
    lift north-northeast during the overnight hours.

    Isolated thunderstorms may develop along the trailing cold front as
    it surges south across the FL Peninsula during the day, but poor
    lapse rates and weak buoyancy suggest the risk for robust convection
    is not particularly high.

    Intense low-level warm advection will aid the potential for
    lightning discharge in midlevel convection along the middle Atlantic
    coast and southern New England. Forecast soundings suggest the
    majority of this activity will be within heavier snow bands along
    the northwest-north side of the cyclone.

    Across the Pacific northwest, significant midlevel cooling and
    steepening lapse rates are expected along the WA coast by early
    afternoon. Weak SBCAPE is expected to develop across this region and
    some risk for lightning is possible with convection that develops
    within this warm-advection regime.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Large-scale trough amplification will continue to occur over the
    eastern third of the CONUS, with a substantially deepening surface
    low off the coast of the Mid-Atlantic, while a cold front continues southeastward and clears the Florida Peninsula by early evening.
    Near and ahead of this front, isolated thunderstorms may
    develop/move inland across the central and southern Peninsula today,
    but poor lapse rates and weak buoyancy suggest the risk for robust
    convection will remain low.

    For the coastal Mid-Atlantic/Northeast, intense low-level warm
    advection will contribute to some potential for lightning discharge
    in mid-level convection, associated with evolving heavier snow bands
    along the northwest-north side of the deepening cyclone.

    Across the Pacific Northwest, significant mid-level cooling and
    steepening lapse rates are expected along the Washington coast by
    early afternoon. Weak SBCAPE is expected to develop and some
    potential for lightning is possible with convection occurring within
    this warm-advection regime.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    Isolated thunderstorms are expected along the Mid-Atlantic and New
    England coast this afternoon and tonight as offshore bomb
    cyclogenesis occurs. Some of this lightning activity will occur
    with heavy snow.

    Elsewhere, a few afternoon thunderstorms may accompany a cold front
    as it sags southward across the central FL peninsula. Also,
    isolated thunderstorms may move ashore over western WA beneath very
    cold temperatures aloft. In all of these places, weak instability
    will preclude the risk of severe thunderstorms.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Surface low is beginning to deepen off the middle Atlantic coast
    early this evening. Low-level warm advection will continue to focus
    across the northern middle Atlantic into southern New England where
    weak midlevel instability may prove adequate for lightning flashes
    in the strongest snow bands.

    Otherwise, isolated lightning flashes have been mostly confined to
    offshore regions of the Pacific Northwest where marine influences
    are contributing to a bit more buoyancy. Scattered weak convection
    will continue this evening across western WA and a flash of
    lightning can not be ruled out with this activity.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Discussion...

    Large-scale pattern does not appear particularly favorable for deep
    convection capable of generating lightning during the day1 period.
    While very weak buoyancy may exist near the southern New England
    coast, as a deep cyclone ejects northeast toward Nova Scotia, the
    prospect for lightning appears too low to warrant 10 percent thunder
    today.

    Another region where very weak elevated instability is expected to
    support shallow convection is across northwest WA early in the
    period. Short-wave ridging will quickly spread across this region
    and thunderstorms are not anticipated.

    ...Discussion...
    Convective potential will be virtually nil today. While isolated
    lightning flashes were noted overnight east of Long Island and near
    coastal southern New England, lightning-conducive thermodynamic
    profiles, in the northwest quadrant of the deep offshore cyclone,
    will continue to quickly diminish and shift away from the coast. In
    the Pacific Northwest, a few lightning flashes occurred overnight in
    coastal Washington, and a sliver of weak buoyancy was observed in
    the 12z UIL/Quillayute, WA sounding. However, a trend toward
    shortwave ridging and less-lightning-conducive thermodynamic
    profiles should effectively end such thunderstorm potential.

    rates and focused ascent accompanying the impulse will support southeastward-spreading convection with isolated lightning potential
    across the central Plains toward the middle MS Valley during the
    afternoon and evening/overnight hours. Enhanced low-level flow
    within a well-mixed boundary layer may promote locally strong gusts
    with initial convection over the central High Plains, though weak
    buoyancy should limit severe potential. Farther east, isolated
    thunderstorms are also possible within a developing warm-advection
    wing over the lower OH and TN Valleys late in the period.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe gusts are possible across parts of the central High
    Plains late this afternoon into the early evening.

    ...Central High Plains...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave
    trough/speed max over southern MT/northern WY as it crests an upper
    ridge over the West and moves quickly east-southeastward to the MS
    Valley through tonight. Morning visible-satellite imagery shows a
    cirrus shield extending eastward across parts of the central High
    Plains atop a relatively dry boundary layer (surface dewpoints
    around 30 deg F). A dearth of observed data sampling boundary layer
    moisture above the surface lends to some uncertainty for this
    forecast. Yet, westerly downslope flow is leading to warming
    surface temperatures (mid 50s deg F) with additional mixing/warming
    likely resulting in nearly dry adiabatic lapse rates in the 0-3 km
    layer by mid afternoon. As the upper disturbance approaches and a
    cold front --roughly delineated by low cloud cover across northern
    WY/western SD-- pushes southward into the central High Plains late
    today, isolated high-based convection is forecast to develop.
    Forecast soundings show upwards of a few hundred SBCAPE and strong west-northwesterly flow within a steep-lapse-rate environment. A
    few of the stronger evaporatively cooled downdrafts may yield an
    isolated risk for severe gusts (60-65 mph) primarily during the
    21-01 UTC period.

    Elsewhere, thunderstorm potential will otherwise develop
    east-southeastward toward the Ozarks/Mid-South/Tennessee Valley
    tonight as warm/moist advection interfaces with a
    southward-spreading front, with weak buoyancy expected to limit hail
    potential with this mostly elevated convection.

    Isolated severe gusts are possible across parts of the central High
    Plains late this afternoon into the early evening.

    ...20z Update...
    The previous forecast largely remains on track with only minor
    adjustments made - namely a slight northward expansion of 5% wind
    probabilities to better align with developing convection across
    west/southwest NE. Although this convection is fairly weak, severe
    wind gusts have been observed across far western NE within the past
    hour associated with convectively-augmented downward mixing of
    strong flow aloft. The potential for additional severe gusts should
    continue through the next several hours downstream. See the previous
    discussion below and MCD #118.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1030 AM CST Wed Feb 25 2026/

    ...Central High Plains...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave
    trough/speed max over southern MT/northern WY as it crests an upper
    ridge over the West and moves quickly east-southeastward to the MS
    Valley through tonight. Morning visible-satellite imagery shows a
    cirrus shield extending eastward across parts of the central High
    Plains atop a relatively dry boundary layer (surface dewpoints
    around 30 deg F). A dearth of observed data sampling boundary layer
    moisture above the surface lends to some uncertainty for this
    forecast. Yet, westerly downslope flow is leading to warming
    surface temperatures (mid 50s deg F) with additional mixing/warming
    likely resulting in nearly dry adiabatic lapse rates in the 0-3 km
    layer by mid afternoon. As the upper disturbance approaches and a
    cold front --roughly delineated by low cloud cover across northern
    WY/western SD-- pushes southward into the central High Plains late
    today, isolated high-based convection is forecast to develop.
    Forecast soundings show upwards of a few hundred SBCAPE and strong west-northwesterly flow within a steep-lapse-rate environment. A
    few of the stronger evaporatively cooled downdrafts may yield an
    isolated risk for severe gusts (60-65 mph) primarily during the
    21-01 UTC period.

    Elsewhere, thunderstorm potential will otherwise develop
    east-southeastward toward the Ozarks/Mid-South/Tennessee Valley
    tonight as warm/moist advection interfaces with a
    southward-spreading front, with weak buoyancy expected to limit hail
    potential with this mostly elevated convection.

    ...01z Update...

    Midlevel short-wave trough is digging southeast across the central
    Plains early this evening. 500mb speed max is forecast to translate
    across KS into western TN by sunrise, and this feature may aid a
    weak frontal wave and weak low-level warm advection along/north of
    the synoptic boundary. Forecast soundings continue to depict weak
    MUCAPE, but likely adequate for lightning discharge within stronger
    elevated convection. Risk of severe is negligible the rest of
    tonight.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND NORTHERN ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated-scattered thunderstorms are expected across portions of the
    Gulf states into the Southeast. A few storms may produce hail across
    portions of northern Mississippi into northern Alabama.

    ...Gulf States...

    Water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined short-wave trough digging
    southeast across the central Plains. 500mb speed max associated with
    this feature is forecast to translate across northern AR into the
    Mid South by 18z before the short wave deamplifies as it approaches
    the southern Appalachians. In response to this short wave, LLJ will
    strengthen across GA into NC before advancing off the Middle
    Atlantic coast by early evening. While low-level flow will weaken
    considerably across the northern Gulf states, weak convergence is
    expected to aid convective development along the trailing synoptic
    front as it settles south during the afternoon. Latest model
    guidance suggests modest boundary-layer heating will be noted across
    the lower MS Valley into northern AL by mid afternoon such that
    minimal inhibition will be present along the wind shift. Forecast
    soundings exhibit MLCAPE on the order of 1000 J/kg as surface
    temperatures rise through the upper 60s into the lower 70s. HREF
    guidance supports this with isolated-scattered convection evolving
    along the trailing boundary by 21z, especially the HRRR. Hail is the
    primary concern with these storms through early evening.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms capable of hail will be possible from the
    ArkLaMiss into north-central Alabama, mostly from mid-afternoon
    through early/mid-evening.

    ...Deep South including ArkLaMiss to north-central Alabama...
    Increasingly cyclonic flow aloft is expected as trough amplification
    occurs with a shortwave trough spreading southeastward across the
    south-central Plains, toward the Ozarks/ArkLaTex this evening, and
    the lower Mississippi Valley late tonight. A plume of relatively
    steep mid-level lapse rates will similarly advect southeastward atop
    a modestly moist air mass to the south of a southward-spreading
    front regionally. While southwesterly winds in the lowest 2-3 km AGL
    will be modest-strength and tend to weaken over time, strong
    mid/high-level winds will yield 40+ kt effective shear, supporting
    the potential for severe storms including some supercells as storms
    develop and intensify through mid/late afternoon. Severe hail is
    expected to be the primary hazard.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE ARKLAMISS
    EAST ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail will be
    possible from the ArkLaMiss into north-central Alabama, mostly from mid-afternoon through early/mid-evening.

    ...Deep South including ArkLaMiss to north-central Alabama...
    Visible-satellite imagery late this morning shows scattered to
    overcast cloud cover from southern AR/northern LA eastward into
    eastern AL. Surface temperatures are gradually warming through the
    mid 60s into the lower 70s deg F in areas void of extensive clouds,
    mainly from west-central AL westward.

    A mid-level disturbance over the central High Plains is forecast to
    quickly move southeastward into the ArkLaMiss by late tonight. As
    the upper system approaches, a cold front draped from southeast OK
    eastward along the MS-TN border is forecast to accelerate
    southeastward this evening and through much of the central Gulf
    Coast states through tonight.

    Modest mid-level cold-air advection will continue through the
    afternoon and steepen 700-500 mb lapse rates across MS/AL. The
    advection of the mid-level lapse rate plume and additional heating
    will combine to increase buoyancy (ranging from 1500+ J/kg SBCAPE
    west, to less than 500 J/kg east). Guidance is consistent in
    showing weak low-level flow, but strong mid/high-level winds will
    yield 40+ kt effective shear, supporting the potential for severe
    storms including some supercells as storms develop and intensify
    through mid/late afternoon. Both the prospects for appreciable
    destabilization and probable widely scattered coverage of an initial
    supercell storm mode, lend confidence for upgrading severe hail
    probabilities (Slight Risk). A gradual waning in storm intensity is
    expected through the evening as instability lessens and a transition
    to less organized storm modes occur.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ARKLAMISS

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail will be
    possible from the ArkLaMiss into north-central Alabama, through early/mid-evening.

    ...20z Update - ArkLaMiss/Deep-South...

    Based on latest surface observation trends, the Slight risk (level 2
    of 5) has been expanded a small amount eastward across portions of
    west-central AL. Temperatures have warmed into the low to mid 70s
    amid low/mid 60s F dewpoints. Steep midlevel lapse rates atop the
    warm/moist boundary layer are supporting a corridor of around 1000
    J/kg MLCAPE into west-central AL. This may support stronger/better
    organized updrafts and a risk for large hail.

    The Marginal risk (level 1 of 5) has also been expanded north and
    eastward across northern and central AL. Trends in CAMs guidance
    (specifically FV3/RRFS members) suggest a couple of storms may
    develop further north. Furthermore, RAP forecast soundings appear to
    be representing the boundary layer well, and suggest any storm
    moving across northern into east-central AL could produce isolated
    hail.

    ...01z Update...

    Notable midlevel short-wave trough is digging southeast across
    northern OK/southern MO early this evening. Synoptic front has
    settled south to a position from southeast TN-northern MS-central
    AR. While LLJ is primarily focused off the NC coast, weak low-level
    warm advection is noted across the Mid-south ahead of the
    progressive short wave. Scattered convection has developed along
    this corridor, and several supercells are noted from east central AR
    to northern AL. Latest MRMS data suggests large hail is observed
    with the most robust updrafts golf ball size hail has been reported
    with a few of these supercells. While scattered convection will
    continue ahead of the digging short wave, nocturnal cooling should
    begin to affect updraft strength a bit such that overall intensity
    of this activity is expected to gradually weaken. Even so, hail/wind
    are expected through at least mid evening until low-level lapse
    rates begin to adjust to cooling surface temperatures.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected over parts of the
    Southeast and Florida Peninsula. Severe thunderstorms are not
    currently forecast.

    ...Southeast/Florida...

    Strong midlevel short-wave trough is currently digging southeast
    across the Arklatex. This feature will advance into the central Gulf
    states by 18z before shifting into GA/FL Panhandle/northeast Gulf by
    early evening. Latest model guidance suggests scattered convection
    will be ongoing near the primary synoptic boundary at the start of
    the period, and while deep-layer flow will be more than adequate for
    sustaining organized updrafts, buoyancy should be too weak to
    warrant much risk of severe.

    As the short wave digs southeast, a secondary surface boundary will
    establish itself across the FL Peninsula, and this wind shift should
    serve to focus convection, with some propensity for more
    concentrated storms near the FL Atlantic coast. Models suggest
    modest boundary-layer heating southeast of this boundary, and
    forecast soundings exhibit 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE; however, midlevel
    lapse rates will be somewhat marginal with values near 6 C/km. At
    this time it appears any storms that mature near the east coast
    should be limited by the poor 700-500mb lapse rates.

    Recent surface analysis shows a cold front continuing to advance
    southward this morning across southern LA/MS/AL into the FL
    Panhandle and southern GA. This front will decelerate and stall
    across the northern FL Peninsula today as a mid-level shortwave
    trough moves eastward across the remainder of the Southeast. While
    diurnal heating of a moist low-level airmass will occur ahead of the
    front, relatively modest lapse rates should hinder the development
    of any more than weak instability. Furthermore, low-level
    convergence along the front is expected to remain limited. Even so,
    isolated to scattered thunderstorms should eventually develop this
    afternoon, focused across parts of the northern/central FL Peninsula
    along and south of the front. While a stronger thunderstorm or two
    with gusty winds may occur, the weak instability, modest lapse rates
    aloft, and marginal deep-layer shear all suggest that the risk for

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated-to-scattered thunderstorm threat continues tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Weak MCS has evolved over the eastern Gulf/west-central FL Peninsula
    early this evening. Latest radar data suggests an MCV may be
    embedded within the broader precip shield over Hernando county, and
    this feature is shifting steadily east. Greatest concentration of
    convection this evening will likely be immediately ahead of this
    feature, with a trailing band of somewhat stronger updrafts trailing
    southwest across the Tampa region into the eastern Gulf. While this
    trailing band may exhibit a bit more intensity, the threat of severe
    remains low as poor midlevel lapse rates are likely inhibiting
    updraft strength.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the Florida Peninsula this afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms are
    also anticipated across portions of northern California into Oregon
    and Nevada as well as Oklahoma into the Ozark Plateau.

    ...FL Peninsula...

    Low-latitude short-wave trough is digging toward the FL Peninsula
    this evening, per latest water-vapor imagery. This feature will
    encourage a surface front to settle south across the central
    Peninsula during the afternoon which will serve as a focus for
    convective development. With deep southwesterly flow expected across
    the warm sector, the primary coastal boundary for potential robust
    convection should orient itself along the eastern portions of the
    Peninsula. Latest model guidance suggests modest boundary-layer
    heating will be noted across south FL, and convective temperatures
    will easily be breached as temperatures warm to near 80F. With 35kt
    expected at 500mb, 0-6km shear should be adequate for some updraft organization, and possibly even a few weak supercells. Forecast
    soundings suggest hail may accompany the strongest storms, along
    with some risk for damaging wind. HREF guidance supports this and
    the primary concern will be between 18-00z.

    ...Elsewhere...

    A weak short-wave trough is expected to dig southeast across the
    High Plains into MO/eastern OK by late afternoon. This feature is
    expected to aid a few thunderstorms along/south of a cold front that
    will surge across KS/northwest OK into the Ozarks during the
    evening. Strong boundary-layer heating will contribute to weak
    buoyancy, but steep lapse rates pose some risk for gusty winds with
    this high-based activity. At this time it appears updrafts will be
    too weak to warrant any meaningful risk for severe gusts.

    Short-wave ridging will shift east across northern CA/NV as a
    short-wave trough approaches the Pacific Northwest coast by 01/00z.
    High-level diffluent flow and weak instability suggest isolated
    thunderstorms will develop within this zone as large-scale ascent
    and moistening profiles spread into this region.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of
    the central/southern Florida Peninsula this afternoon and evening.

    ...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
    A cold front will settle slowly southward today across the central
    FL Peninsula as large-scale upper troughing persists over the
    eastern CONUS. An embedded mid-level shortwave trough will continue
    to advance eastward over FL through the morning and eventually
    offshore by this evening. The surface front over the central FL
    Peninsula has been reinforced by overnight/early morning convection.
    This front, along with the Atlantic Coast sea breeze, should provide
    a focus for additional thunderstorm development this afternoon.
    Daytime heating of a seasonably moist low-level airmass coupled with
    relatively cool mid-level temperatures (around -10 to -12C at 500
    mb) will likely support weak to moderate instability by mid
    afternoon. Even though low-level flow will tend to remain weak and
    mostly parallel to the surface front, modestly enhanced mid-level
    winds and related deep-layer shear should foster some updraft
    organization with thunderstorms that can develop this afternoon.
    Both isolated severe hail and occasional damaging winds may occur
    with the strongest cores, before convection eventually focuses
    offshore by this evening.

    ...Oklahoma...
    Weak MUCAPE should develop by this afternoon/early evening across
    parts of OK near a surface trough. A low-amplitude shortwave trough
    embedded within broad cyclonic flow over the central/eastern CONUS
    may support isolated thunderstorm development across this area in
    tandem with peak afternoon heating. Instability should remain too
    weak to support an organized severe threat with this activity,
    although locally strong/gusty winds and small hail appear possible
    given steepened low-level lapse rates and favorably strong
    deep-layer shear.

    ...Northern California...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move east-northeastward today
    across northern CA and vicinity. Cool temperatures aloft associated
    with this shortwave trough combined with generally 40 to mid 50s
    surface dewpoints and filtered daytime heating should promote around
    500-750 J/kg of MUCAPE over this region by mid to late afternoon.
    While a couple of stronger thunderstorms may form across this area,
    the overall severe threat should tend to be limited by the weak
    instability.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of
    the central/southern Florida Peninsula this afternoon and evening.

    ...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
    Late morning surface analysis places a cold front near the I-4
    corridor across the central portion of the Peninsula, with upper 60s
    to lower 70s dewpoints south of the boundary. A mid-level vorticity
    maximum over MS/AL this morning is forecast to continue
    east-southeastward through the base of a larger-scale eastern US
    trough and eventually reach the Gulf Stream east of GA and
    southwestward to the southern 1/3 of the Peninsula by early Sunday
    morning. As this impulse progresses towards the region, the
    aforementioned front will slowly move south. This boundary, a
    residual outflow boundary, and an east-coast sea breeze will help
    focus thunderstorm development and a potential severe risk this
    afternoon. Ample heating of the moist boundary layer beneath a weak
    cap, which will continue to erode by early to mid afternoon, will
    result in 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. Low-level flow will likely remain
    veered and relatively weak, but 30+ kt shear in the 700-300 mb layer
    will support some updraft organization. Scattered thunderstorms are
    forecast to develop in the 18-20z period with a some of the stronger
    storms potentially being capable of 55-65 mph gusts and 1 to 1.75
    inch diameter hail. Short-term CAM guidance suggests the most
    concentrated corridor for severe may extend from the north side of
    Lake Okeechobee, where an agitated cumulus field is developing along
    the diffuse outflow boundary, southward into Broward/Palm Beach
    counties. Convection is forecast to eventually move east into the
    Atlantic this evening with the severe risk diminishing.

    ...Oklahoma...
    Weak MUCAPE should develop by this afternoon/early evening across
    parts of OK near a surface trough. A low-amplitude shortwave trough
    embedded within broad cyclonic flow over the central/eastern CONUS
    may support isolated thunderstorm development across this area in
    tandem with peak afternoon heating. Instability should remain too
    weak to support an organized severe threat with this activity,
    although locally strong/gusty winds and small hail appear possible
    given steepened low-level lapse rates and favorably strong
    deep-layer shear.

    ...Northern California...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move east-northeastward today
    across northern CA and vicinity. Cool temperatures aloft associated
    with this shortwave trough combined with generally 40 to mid 50s
    surface dewpoints and filtered daytime heating should promote around
    500-750 J/kg of MUCAPE over this region by mid to late afternoon.
    While a couple of stronger thunderstorms may form across this area,
    the overall severe threat should tend to be limited by the weak
    instability.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Weak surface front is gradually advancing south across the southern
    FL Peninsula early this evening. Scattered convection continues near
    the south FL Atlantic coast, as deep westerly flow has shunted
    better low-level convergence into this portion of the peninsula. 00z
    sounding from MFL exhibited substantial instability, but latest
    radar/lightning trends suggest updrafts have weakened considerably.
    Primary threat for thunderstorms appears to have shifted offshore,
    especially as boundary layer continues to cool over the next few
    hours.

    00z sounding from OUN exhibited around 500 J/kg MLCAPE with a deep
    boundary layer and only modest PW. Scattered weak convection is
    mostly concentrated over the Ozark region, and this activity only
    has isolated lightning noted with it. Given the weak 850mb flow it
    appears the risk for thunderstorms will continue to wane this
    evening.

    Scattered thunderstorms have developed ahead of a short-wave trough
    approaching northern CA. This feature will deamplify as it ejects
    into the northern Great Basin later this evening. Lightning may
    accompany the stronger updrafts given the large-scale support.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms will be possible across parts of south Florida, the
    southern and central Plains, and in northern California region this
    afternoon and evening.

    ...Discussion...

    South Florida: Large-scale pattern will not change appreciably
    during the upcoming day1 period as broad upper troughing holds
    across the eastern CONUS with ridging expected over the Great Basin.
    Cool midlevel temperatures will overspread the FL Peninsula such
    that modest boundary-layer heating will contribute to sufficient
    instability for deep convection. Weak height rises and easterly
    component to low-level flow are not particularly favorable for
    severe thunderstorms, though a few robust updrafts could generate
    gusty winds or small hail across the southeastern FL Peninsula.

    Southern/Central Plains: Sharp cold front will settle south across
    OK/TX Panhandle during the day as the center of the surface
    anticyclone shifts into the Great Lakes. Modest boundary-layer
    heating will be noted ahead of this wind shift across the TX South
    Plains into southwestern OK which will result in convective
    temperatures being breached by 22z as temperatures rise into the
    lower 80s. PW values are not that moist across the southern Plains,
    but weak low-level warm advection is expected atop the cold boundary
    layer north of the front. Elevated convection should develop across
    this region but weak buoyancy does not appear adequate for severe
    hail with the strongest updrafts.

    Northern California region: Modest midlevel height falls will spread
    across northern CA ahead of a notable upper low that will approach
    the coast by 02/00z. Left-exit region of 500mb jet is expected to
    aid ascent across northern CA, and more than adequate instability
    should materialize for thunderstorm development. Forecast soundings
    exhibit around 500 J/kg MLCAPE with cool midlevel temperatures and
    steep lapse rates. The most robust updrafts could generate small
    hail, but this activity is expected to remain below severe levels.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTH FLORIDA AND OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of producing occasional large
    hail and damaging winds may occur this afternoon and evening across
    parts of south Florida and Oklahoma.

    ...South Florida...
    Recent water vapor satellite imagery shows a weak/low-amplitude
    mid-level shortwave trough over the northeast Gulf. This feature
    will track east-southeastward today over the FL Peninsula. Modest
    ascent associated with the shortwave trough should aid in isolated
    to widely scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon across
    parts of south FL in the vicinity of a decaying front, and along the
    Atlantic Coast sea breeze. Around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE may
    develop across this region by peak afternoon heating, with
    seasonably cool mid-level temperatures present (around -12 to -13C
    at 500 mb). While low-level winds are expected to remain weak, some
    enhancement to the west-northwesterly mid-level flow attendant to
    the approaching shortwave trough should provide marginal deep-layer
    shear to foster modest thunderstorm organization. Consensus of
    recent high-resolution guidance suggests that at least isolated
    thunderstorms may form by 18-22Z south of the front and along
    various sea breezes while posing some threat for severe hail and
    occasional damaging winds. Have therefore included a Marginal Risk
    for parts of south FL with this update.

    ...Oklahoma...
    With large-scale upper troughing persisting over the eastern CONUS
    today, a weak shortwave trough will advance east-southeastward from
    the central High Plains this morning towards OK by early evening. A
    surface cold front is progged to decelerate and eventually stall
    along the I-40 corridor in OK, with modest boundary layer moisture
    present to its south. A narrow corridor of around 500-1000 J/kg of
    MUCAPE should develop by late afternoon/early evening along/near the
    front, aided by daytime heating and modestly steepened mid-level
    lapse rates. There is still a fair amount of uncertainty regarding
    convective initiation and overall thunderstorm coverage later today
    across OK, mainly owing to only weak large-scale ascent attendant to
    the low-amplitude shortwave trough and somewhat modest low-level
    moisture. Even so, the presence of elongated/nearly straight
    hodographs at mid/upper levels and related strong deep-layer shear
    suggest some potential for large hail and locally damaging winds if
    any robust updrafts can form and be sustained near the front late
    this afternoon and continuing into the evening. A focused Marginal
    Risk has been introduced this update where the best chance for isolated/sustained convection is apparent.

    ...Northern California...
    Large-scale ascent will overspread northern CA and vicinity ahead of
    an upper low that will approach the CA Coast by this evening.
    Gradually cooling mid-level temperatures and filtered diurnal
    heating of a modestly moist low-level airmass should support the
    development of weak instability across this region through the
    afternoon and evening. Isolated thunderstorms should develop, with
    the more robust updrafts possibly capable of producing small hail
    and gusty winds. This activity is expected to remain below severe
    levels owing to the weak instability forecast.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms yielding a risk for large hail and
    localized severe gusts may occur this afternoon and evening across
    parts of south Florida and Oklahoma.

    ...Oklahoma...
    A mid-level disturbance near the CO-KS border this morning will
    quickly move east to the Ozarks by mid evening. Glancing
    large-scale ascent associated with this feature and associated
    low-level warm/moist advection will contribute to isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms later this afternoon and into the evening
    from near the Red River into the Ozarks. A stalled cold front
    paralleling the I-44 corridor will likely serve as a focus for
    thunderstorm development as an axis of weak buoyancy develops within
    a narrow moist plume (50s deg F surface dewpoints) extending from
    north TX into central OK. Forecast soundings show elongated
    hodographs and upwards of 1000 J/kg MUCAPE, supporting an
    environment potentially capable of a couple stronger storms that
    could yield a risk for hail/wind during the 22-04z period.

    ...South Florida...
    A weak mid-level trough over the eastern Gulf will move
    east-southeastward across the FL Peninsula by early evening.
    Accompanying weak ascent with this upper feature and differential
    heating near a frontolytic boundary will support isolated
    to widely scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon across
    parts of south FL. Around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE is probable by early
    to mid afternoon. Weak flow in the surface-3km layer will limit
    overall hodograph length beneath 50-kt westerly flow at 300 mb. A
    couple of the stronger thunderstorms may pose a risk for marginally
    severe hail and perhaps gusts approaching 60 mph.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few instances of severe hail are likely across central Oklahoma
    into the evening hours. An instance or two of hail or damaging gusts
    may still occur over southern parts of the Florida Peninsula this
    afternoon.

    ...20Z Update...
    The primary change made to this outlook was to add a Slight risk to
    portions of OK, while also expanding the Marginal risk to the south
    and west across southern portions of the state. Confidence is
    increasing for the initiation of a few supercell thunderstorms
    across central OK this afternoon ahead of a frontal boundary.
    Current OK Mesonet surface observations depict a tongue of 59-60 F
    surface dewpoints, which are advecting northward across the southern
    portions of the state, toward the OKC metropolitan area. At least
    some mid-level clouds persist over and around the metro, suggesting
    that low-level moisture may not appreciably mix out through the
    remainder of the afternoon. As such, the current moisture profile,
    beneath 6.5-7 C/km mid-level lapse rates, will yield thin
    surface-based buoyancy profiles, with 1000/500 ML/SBCAPE by
    afternoon peak heating. Current INX/TLX VAD profiles depict
    hodographs with modest 0-3 km curvature, and RAP forecast soundings
    suggest that elongated mid-level hodographs should persist into the
    evening hours, resulting in appreciable deep-layer shear for
    supercell structures. While buoyancy will be relatively meager
    overall, a few hail reports at least in the 1-2 inch diameter range
    appears plausible this afternoon and evening.

    Otherwise, the previous forecast remains on track, with an instance
    or two of hail/strong wind gusts possible with thunderstorms
    developing off of sea-breeze boundaries over far southern FL over
    the next few hours.

    ...Oklahoma...
    A mid-level disturbance near the CO-KS border this morning will
    quickly move east to the Ozarks by mid evening. Glancing
    large-scale ascent associated with this feature and associated
    low-level warm/moist advection will contribute to isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms later this afternoon and into the evening
    from near the Red River into the Ozarks. A stalled cold front
    paralleling the I-44 corridor will likely serve as a focus for
    thunderstorm development as an axis of weak buoyancy develops within
    a narrow moist plume (50s deg F surface dewpoints) extending from
    north TX into central OK. Forecast soundings show elongated
    hodographs and upwards of 1000 J/kg MUCAPE, supporting an
    environment potentially capable of a couple stronger storms that
    could yield a risk for hail/wind during the 22-04z period.

    ...South Florida...
    A weak mid-level trough over the eastern Gulf will move
    east-southeastward across the FL Peninsula by early evening.
    Accompanying weak ascent with this upper feature and differential
    heating near a frontolytic boundary will support isolated
    to widely scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon across
    parts of south FL. Around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE is probable by early
    to mid afternoon. Weak flow in the surface-3km layer will limit
    overall hodograph length beneath 50-kt westerly flow at 300 mb. A
    couple of the stronger thunderstorms may pose a risk for marginally
    severe hail and perhaps gusts approaching 60 mph.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Weak midlevel short-wave trough appears to be partly responsible for
    the MCS that evolved over eastern KS/MO this afternoon. This feature
    will spread toward the confluence of the MS/OH River valley, and
    heights are expected to rise across the southern Plains through
    sunrise. LLJ will focus across the Ozarks into western KY late this
    evening, and this should encourage the MCS to propagate downstream,
    though it should gradually weaken.

    Along the trailing cold front across OK, weak instability developed
    along/south of the wind shift where temperatures warmed into the
    70s. Even so, poor midlevel lapse rates and weak forcing are proving
    difficult for sustaining deep convection. 00z sounding from OUN
    exhibited roughly 500 J/kg MUCAPE. As the front settles south, weak southwesterly flow atop the boundary may instigate a few
    thunderstorms, but observed/forecast instability suggest any hail
    that develops would likely remain below severe levels.

    Isolated thunderstorms continue along the southwestern FL Gulf
    coast, as easterly boundary layer flow persists across this region.
    Nocturnal cooling should lead to continue weakening and severe is
    not expected with this activity the remainder of this evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible across parts of the central U.S., in
    south Florida, and from the Intermountain West into the central High
    Plains.

    ...Discussion...

    Great Basin to southern Wyoming: Notable upper trough is
    approaching the northern CA coast late this evening. This feature is
    forecast to advance into the eastern Great Basin as a 500mb speed
    max translates across southern NV into southern UT. Cool midlevel
    temperatures and steep lapse rates north of the jet favor weak
    buoyancy along a corridor from northern NV into southern WY.
    Forecast soundings suggest SBCAPE could approach 500 J/kg by peak
    heating. While deep-layer shear will be strong along the northern
    fringe of the jet, current thinking is convection that evolves
    across this region should not produce more than gusty winds, as PW
    values are quite low.

    Central U.S.: LLJ is forecast to increase across the southern Plains
    into southern MO during the latter half of the period. Low-level
    warm advection will be the primary forcing mechanism for potential
    convective development during the overnight hours as the warm front
    advances north into KS/MO. Forecast soundings suggest elevated
    thunderstorms will not have enough instability to warrant a risk for
    severe hail.

    Southern Florida: Easterly low-level flow will persist during the
    day1 period which should favor convection concentrating near the
    southern FL Gulf coast. However, forecast midlevel lapse rates are
    quite poor and this diurnally enhanced activity should remain weak
    and sub-severe.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms are not forecast today and tonight.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    An upper trough will move eastward across the Intermountain
    West/Great Basin to the central Rockies and adjacent High Plains
    through the period. Although low-level moisture will remain quite
    limited, cool temperatures aloft and large-scale ascent preceding
    the upper trough should encourage isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms across these areas today and tonight. Instability is
    expected to remain too limited to support an organized severe
    threat, although occasional gusty winds may occur.

    Isolated thunderstorms appear possible mainly tonight into early
    Tuesday morning across parts of the mid MS Valley and vicinity,
    aided mainly by increasing low-level warm/moist advection and the
    development of weak MUCAPE. Farther east, convection capable of
    producing occasional lightning may also occur across parts of
    coastal NC and south FL. Weak shear and/or instability across all
    these regions should preclude a meaningful severe threat today.

    Thunder probabilities were removed along the NC Coast, as the

    shifted offshore. Thunder probabilities were also trimmed over the
    MS Valley region, with the remaining probabilities focused where
    warm-air advection at the nose of a developing low-level jet will be
    strongest. Otherwise, isolated thunderstorms may form along

    Seasonally strong short-wave trough is advancing east across the
    Great Basin early this evening. Large-scale ascent is spreading
    downstream ahead of this feature into southern WY where isolated
    thunderstorms are currently noted, especially over Carbon County,
    just east of Rawlins. This activity appears to be aided by the 500mb
    speed max and steep 0-6km lapse rates. 00z soundings from RIW, GJT,
    and LKN all support this with 8-9 C/km values, but only ~0.35 inch
    PW. Very weak buoyancy will continue to support lighting with weak
    convection this evening.

    Later tonight, surface warm front will advance north into the Ozarks
    and 850mb warm advection will increase along the cool side of the
    boundary. While 00z sounding from SGF exhibited a very strong cap,
    and negligible instability, weak MUCAPE should gradually increase
    later tonight and isolated elevated convection is expected to
    develop across the MO/IL region.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
    THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO CENTRAL MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated large hail may occur this evening into the overnight hours
    across a portion of the southern Plains into central Missouri.

    ...Southern Plains/Central MO...

    Upper trough currently located along the NV/UT border is forecast to
    eject into the central High Plains by 04/00z as a 500mb speed max
    translates across northern NM into southern KS. This short wave will
    progress into the central Plains by the end of the period. At the
    surface, latest model guidance does not allow any meaningful
    cyclogenesis to evolve, though a weak wave will translate along the
    synoptic front from northwest OK into southwest MO during the
    overnight hours.

    Strong boundary-layer heating will be noted across eastern NM into
    the TX South Plains, and convective temperatures will likely be
    breached west of the dryline over the higher terrain. However,
    forecast soundings do not exhibit appreciable instability near the
    dryline and any convection that evolves shortly after peak heating
    will not only struggle, but it will be very high-based.

    Current thinking is the primary instigator for convection during the
    day1 period will be due to low-level warm advection atop the much
    colder air mass north of the frontal zone. Forecast soundings
    suggest modest MUCAPE may develop during the evening, or more likely
    during the overnight hours as parcels near 2km AGL moisten above the
    strong cap. Hail may develop with the strongest updrafts along a
    corridor from the southern Plains into central MO. Isolated storms
    may generate severe hail.

    Isolated severe hail may occur this evening into the overnight hours
    across parts of the southern/central Plains into Missouri and
    western Illinois.

    ...Southern/Central Plains into Missouri and Western Illinois...
    Ongoing convection across the lower OH Valley this morning is being
    aided by low-level warm advection, and is expected to remain
    sub-severe as it tracks eastward into a less unstable airmass. A
    belt of 45-55 kt mid-level southwesterly flow will be maintained
    today across parts of the southern/central Plains as a shortwave
    trough ejects eastward over this region though the period. A weak
    surface low over northeast NM and the OK/TX Panhandles this morning
    will gradually develop towards northwest TX by this evening as
    low-level moisture streams northward across TX/OK into the Ozarks
    and southern IL. A dryline is forecast to mix eastward across the
    southern High Plains by late this afternoon, intersecting the
    surface front in the northwest TX/southwest OK vicinity.

    Current expectations are for robust thunderstorm development to be
    suppressed across the southern/central Plains through much of the
    afternoon into early evening owing to the presence of a stout
    low-level inversion. One exception may be near the front/dryline
    intersection in southwest to central OK, where MLCIN should become
    minimal by peak afternoon heating. Here, some guidance suggests a
    low chance for a robust thunderstorm or two to develop and track
    northeastward along/near the I-44 corridor while posing an isolated
    hail threat. The Marginal Risk has been expanded slightly southward
    to account for this possibility. Otherwise, gradually increasing
    large-scale ascent preceding the shortwave trough and strengthening
    low-level warm/moist advection should encourage the development of
    elevated thunderstorms north of the front, mainly after 04/06Z.
    Around 1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE, steepened mid-level lapse rates,
    and strong effective bulk shear suggest that some of these cells may
    pose a threat for isolated severe hail as they spread from OK/KS
    into MO and western IL through early Wednesday morning.

    ...Southern/Central Plains into Missouri and Western Illinois...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave trough
    over the central Rockies and this feature will move into the central
    High Plains late tonight. A frontal zone this morning is draped
    from near the Raton Mesa into the TX Panhandle extends
    east-northeastward across northern OK into the Ozarks. A weak
    surface low over northeast NM and the OK/TX Panhandles this morning
    will gradually develop towards northwest TX by this evening.
    Southerly low-level flow will maintain a moist fetch into OK today
    and into the Ozarks and parts of the mid MS Valley. A dryline is
    forecast to mix eastward across the southern High Plains by late
    this afternoon, intersecting the surface front in the northwest
    TX/southwest OK vicinity.

    Convection will likely be inhibited during the day across much of
    the MRGL Risk owing to both capping and weak mid-level shortwave
    ridging. The strongest heating and low-level convergence is
    forecast across parts of northwest TX/southwest OK where convective
    inhibition will become weakened by late afternoon. Have adjusted
    severe hail probabilities farther south into parts of northwest TX
    to account for the potential for a supercell or two this evening
    into the overnight hours. As large-scale forcing for ascent
    continues to strengthen through the evening into the overnight,
    expected widely scattered thunderstorms to eventually develop near
    the frontal zone (perhaps favoring a northwest OK/southern KS
    corridor). Large hail will be the hazard with the stronger storms.
    Around 1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE, steepened mid-level lapse rates,
    and strong effective bulk shear suggest that some of these cells may
    pose a threat for isolated severe hail as they spread from OK/KS

    Plains into Missouri and western Illinois. Moisture continues
    northward, observed in visible satellite and 60 F dew points
    increasing from the south into southern Kansas. Thunderstorm
    development is still expected to be delayed into the evening as
    modest capping remains in place. Some conditional risk for large
    hail (some up to 1.5-2" in diameter) will be possible, mainly across
    northwest Oklahoma into southern Kansas. In this region, a favorable
    overlap of MLCAPE around 1000-1500 J/kg will overlap with steep
    mid-level lapse rates and deep layer shear near the frontal
    boundary.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1030 AM CST Tue Mar 03 2026/

    ...Southern/Central Plains into Missouri and Western Illinois...
    Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave trough
    over the central Rockies and this feature will move into the central
    High Plains late tonight. A frontal zone this morning is draped
    from near the Raton Mesa into the TX Panhandle extends
    east-northeastward across northern OK into the Ozarks. A weak
    surface low over northeast NM and the OK/TX Panhandles this morning
    will gradually develop towards northwest TX by this evening.
    Southerly low-level flow will maintain a moist fetch into OK today
    and into the Ozarks and parts of the mid MS Valley. A dryline is
    forecast to mix eastward across the southern High Plains by late
    this afternoon, intersecting the surface front in the northwest
    TX/southwest OK vicinity.

    Convection will likely be inhibited during the day across much of
    the MRGL Risk owing to both capping and weak mid-level shortwave
    ridging. The strongest heating and low-level convergence is
    forecast across parts of northwest TX/southwest OK where convective
    inhibition will become weakened by late afternoon. Have adjusted
    severe hail probabilities farther south into parts of northwest TX
    to account for the potential for a supercell or two this evening
    into the overnight hours. As large-scale forcing for ascent
    continues to strengthen through the evening into the overnight,
    expected widely scattered thunderstorms to eventually develop near
    the frontal zone (perhaps favoring a northwest OK/southern KS
    corridor). Large hail will be the hazard with the stronger storms.
    Around 1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE, steepened mid-level lapse rates,
    and strong effective bulk shear suggest that some of these cells may
    pose a threat for isolated severe hail as they spread from OK/KS
    into MO and western IL through early Wednesday morning.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO MO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe hail may occur this evening into the overnight hours
    across parts of the southern/central Plains into Missouri and
    western Illinois.

    ...01z Update - Southern Plain to Western IL...

    Only minor changes were made to the Level 1 - Marginal risk across
    Oklahoma. For much of the day, hi-res CAMs guidance has been
    somewhat bifurcated with respect to location of stronger storm
    development. Most guidance focuses elevated thunderstorms with hail
    potential after 06z from the northeast TX Panhandle into northern
    OK/southern KS in a warm advection regime to the north of a surface
    cold front. However, the RRFS and some MPAS members also indicated
    another corridor of storm development further south from southwest
    OK through central OK closer to the surface boundary. The risk area
    has been nudged south a small amount to account for trends in
    guidance and the location of the surface boundary as of 0030z.

    Otherwise, the forecast remains on track and overall expectations
    unchanged from prior outlooks, with overnight thunderstorms expected
    to pose mainly a hail risk from the OK vicinity northeast into west-central/southwest IL.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTH-CENTRAL
    TEXAS TO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected today into
    tonight from north-central Texas and eastern Oklahoma into the Lower
    Ohio Valley. Large hail, localized wind damage, and a tornado or two
    will be possible.

    ...Southern Plains to Lower Ohio Valley...

    A compact upper shortwave trough will develop eastward from the
    central Plains to the Mid-MS Valley today and tonight. As this
    occurs, a swath of enhanced mid/upper southwesterly flow will
    overspread portions of the southern Plains to the OH Valley. Height
    falls will remain modest with this system, resulting in on a weak
    surface wave migrating northeast along a quasi-stationary baroclinic zone/surface front from OK into southern IL/IN. South of the front,
    southerly return flow will support dewpoints climbing into the low
    60s F. Increasing moisture beneath steep midlevel lapse rates around
    7-8 C/km will foster MLCAPE values generally around 1000-1500 J/kg
    (possibly higher toward North TX where stronger heating is
    expecting).

    Effective shear magnitudes greater than 35 kt will support organized convection. However, storm mode may tend to be somewhat messy given
    broad ascent within the warm advection regime near the surface
    boundary. Additionally, morning convection and cloudiness could
    hamper stronger heating and limit destabilization. Nevertheless, a
    broad area of severe storm potential exists. First with elevated
    convection this morning moving northeast across parts of OK/KS into
    MO and southern IL. By afternoon, surface-based convection will be
    more likely closer to the surface front. A mix of supercells and
    clusters will pose a risk for large hail. Where stronger heating
    occurs, some wind damaging potential will also materialize within
    steepened low-level lapse rates. A low-end tornado risk will also
    accompany supercells near the surface boundary, especially where
    stronger heating can occur.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH-CENTRAL/NORTHEAST TEXAS TO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms should occur today and
    tonight from north-central Texas and eastern Oklahoma into the Lower
    Ohio Valley. Large hail, localized wind damage, and a tornado or two
    will be possible.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozarks and Lower Ohio Valley...
    A compact mid-level shortwave trough evident in water vapor
    satellite imagery this morning over the central High Plains will
    move eastward towards the Mid MS Valley by tonight. As this occurs,
    a narrow swath of around 45-55 kt mid-level southwesterly flow will
    overspread parts of the southern Plains to lower OH Valley.
    Large-scale ascent should remain modest with this system, resulting
    in only a weak surface low developing northeastward along a
    quasi-stationary surface front from OK into southern IL/IN. South of
    the front, southerly low-level flow will support dewpoints climbing
    into generally the low to mid 60s. This increasing moisture beneath
    steep mid-level lapse rates amid filtered daytime heating should
    support MLCAPE values generally around 1000-1500 J/kg in a narrow
    corridor along/ahead of the front. Locally greater instability
    should develop across north-central into central TX where stronger
    daytime heating is expected.

    Deep-layer shear is forecast to be strongest in closer proximity to
    the mid-level jet and surface front from eastern OK into AR,
    southern MO, and the lower OH Valley. Effective bulk shear of 35-50
    kt will easily support organized convection across these areas.
    However, convective mode may tend to be somewhat messy given broad
    ascent within the modest low-level warm advection regime near the
    surface front. Additionally, ongoing elevated convection this
    morning across the northern OK/southeast KS vicinity and related
    cloudiness may hamper stronger heating and limit destabilization
    downstream. Farther south into north/central TX, weaker deep-layer
    shear may limit updraft organization to some extent.

    Even with these potential limitations, a broad area of isolated to
    scattered severe thunderstorm potential exists today and tonight. An
    isolated hail threat should persist with ongoing elevated convection
    this morning moving northeast across parts of OK/KS into MO and
    southern IL. By this afternoon, surface-based thunderstorm
    development should occur closer to the surface front. A mix of
    supercells and clusters will pose a risk for large hail. Damaging
    winds will also be possible where steepened low-level lapse rates
    can develop with daytime heating. Although low-level flow is not
    forecast to become overly strong, there should be sufficient 0-1 km
    SRH to support some threat for a couple of tornadoes with any
    sustained supercells/clusters near the surface boundary.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTH
    TEXAS/EASTERN OKLAHOMA TO OZARKS AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through
    tonight from north-central Texas and eastern Oklahoma to the Ozarks
    and Lower Ohio Valley. Large hail, localized wind damage, and a
    tornado or two are possible.

    ...Southern Plains to the Ozarks and Lower Ohio Valley...
    Well in advance of an amplifying trough over the Great Basin, a
    low-amplitude southern-stream shortwave trough over the
    south-central High Plains will continue east-northeastward over the
    Lower Missouri Valley through tonight. A base-embedded modestly
    increasing belt of southwesterly mid-level flow (50+ kt) will
    maximize from northeast Oklahoma/southeast Kansas across the Ozarks,
    in general proximity to a weak surface low/frontal zone across the
    region where deep-layer/low-level shear are expected to be
    maximized.

    South of the front, southerly low-level flow will support dewpoints
    climbing into generally the low to mid 60s F. While cloud cover may
    remain semi-prevalent across the warm sector, this increasing
    moisture beneath steep mid-level lapse rates amid filtered daytime
    heating should support MLCAPE values generally around 1000-1500 J/kg
    in a narrow corridor along/ahead of the front. Locally greater
    instability should develop across north-central into central Texas
    where stronger daytime heating is expected, although
    deep-layer/low-level shear will be notably weaker, while still
    sufficient for relatively isolated severe storms.

    Across most of the Slight Risk area, effective bulk shear of 35-50
    kt will easily support organized convection regionally, although
    convective mode may tend to be somewhat messy given broad ascent
    within the modest low-level warm advection regime near the surface
    front. Additionally, ongoing mostly elevated convection this morning
    across northeast Oklahoma into southern Missouri and southern
    Illinois may hamper stronger heating and limit destabilization
    downstream, with outflow/existing convection contributing to modal
    complexity later today.

    Even with these potential limitations, a broad area of isolated to
    scattered severe thunderstorm potential exists through tonight. An
    isolated and/or occasional hail threat may persist with ongoing
    elevated convection from southern Missouri into southern
    Indiana/northern Kentucky. Surface-based thunderstorm development
    should otherwise become more probable across the Ozarks into
    mid/late afternoon closer to the surface front/surface low and
    modifying outflow. A mix of supercells and clusters will pose a risk
    for large hail. Damaging winds will also be possible where steepened
    low-level lapse rates can develop with daytime heating. Although
    low-level flow is not forecast to become overly strong, there should
    be sufficient 0-1 km SRH to support some threat for a couple of
    tornadoes with any sustained supercells/clusters, particularly
    across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
    TEXAS ACROSS THE OZARKS AND TOWARD THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER
    OHIO VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible through
    tonight from northern Texas and eastern Oklahoma to the Ozarks and
    Lower Ohio Valley.

    ...Discussion...
    Scattered storms persist this evening from north-central TX across
    eastern OK, with a few from the AR/MO border into southern IN. This
    is occurring along a stationary front, with the strongest
    instability over TX. The 00Z FWD sounding shows steep lapse rates
    through the entire profile, but with a somewhat jumbled wind profile
    depicting veer/back/veer/back with height. Still, cool temperatures
    aloft and effective shear over 30 kt should continue to support
    periodic hail cores or localized downbursts this evening. Farther
    north, storms are a bit more disorganized along the boundary, with a
    bit weaker instability but also stronger deep-layer shear in closer
    proximity to the upper wave.

    As the shortwave trough moves from the central Plains toward the mid
    MS Valley tonight, large-scale ascent near the stationary front will
    increase from the Ozarks into the mid MS/lower OH Valley after about
    06Z. Height falls will skirt the surface boundary, with increasing
    850 mb winds out of the southwest, perhaps to 50 kt over northern
    AR/southern MO. Given an increase in lift and shear, corridors of
    severe weather are still anticipated, with all hazards possible.
    Damaging gusts or a tornado are most probable near the boundary
    where low-level shear and lift will be enhanced.

    For more information see mesoscale discussions #0134 and #0135.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
    EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are expected from northwest Texas and the
    Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma and southern Kansas. Large
    hail, a few tornadoes and damaging winds will all be possible within
    this corridor.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper trough will move across the Great Basin and toward the
    Rockies, with increasing southwest flow aloft spreading over the
    Plains. At the surface, low pressure will develop over eastern CO
    during the day, and will move into KS through Friday morning. A
    stationary front extending from northwest TX into southern MO will
    become a warm front as southerly surface winds increase throughout
    the period. Low 60s F dewpoints will move across OK and into the
    eastern TX Panhandle during the day, and along I-35 into KS
    overnight. Moderate instability is expected to develop from western
    TX into OK and southern KS, with increasing shear profiles late in
    the day. This will likely lead to a compact area of severe storms,
    particularly from the TX Panhandle/South Plains into western OK late
    in the day and into the evening.

    ...TX Panhandle/northwest TX into western OK and southern KS...
    Moisture and instability will gradually build during the day as the
    warm front pushes through during the afternoon. There is some
    concern about the degree of capping, especially across eastern
    areas. However, it appears heating will be sufficient to instigate a
    few supercells, developing by late afternoon across the eastern TX
    Panhandle and perhaps portions of the South Plains or northwest TX.
    Steep lapse rates aloft along with veering winds with height will
    clearly support supercell mode initially, with very large hail and
    tornado potential. These cells, or a developing cluster, will likely
    continue into the evening across much of western OK and perhaps
    toward southern KS by late evening. By that time, shear will be
    quite strong, and may support significant bowing structures.

    ...Northern KS...NE...IA...
    After dry conditions for much of the day, thunderstorms will develop
    overnight as low-level theta-e rapidly spreads north due to a 60 kt
    low-level jet. Forecast soundings indicate substantial elevated CAPE
    developing after 03Z, north of a warm front. Deep-layer shear within
    the cloud-bearing layer also appears favorable for sustained cells,
    and a few storms could produce hail.

    ...Western FL Peninsula...
    Beneath an upper high and within an easterly low-level flow regime,
    strong heating will occur, with dewpoints dropping into the mid 60s
    F. Despite the upper high, midlevel temperatures will be relatively
    cool. Scattered storms appear probable along the western Peninsula
    during the afternoon where convergence will be maximized. Locally
    strong wind gusts will be possible, though severe storms are not
    currently forecast.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
    tonight from northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle into western
    Oklahoma and southern/central Kansas. Large to very large hail, a
    few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds will all be possible within
    this corridor.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    An upper trough will amplify over the western U.S. today as a broad
    zone of modestly enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow persists over
    the southern/central Plains. At the surface, lee cyclogenesis is
    forecast to occur across eastern CO through this evening, which will
    promote continued northward transport of low-level moisture across
    TX into OK/KS. A surface dryline will also extend southward from the
    low over the southern High Plains. Daytime heating of this moist
    airmass and the presence of steep mid-level lapse rates will support
    the development of at least 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE by late
    afternoon along/east of the dryline. Most guidance continues to
    suggest that convective temperatures will be reached by 21-23Z
    across the southern High Plains.

    While large-scale ascent will remain fairly nebulous, current
    expectations are for increasing low-level convergence along the
    dryline and a strengthening southerly low-level jet to encourage
    convective initiation across the eastern TX Panhandle and vicinity.
    Forecast deep-layer shear around 40 kt will easily support
    supercells with an associated threat for large to very large hail
    initially (potentially up to 2-3 inches in diameter). Increasing
    low-level shear through the evening will also foster enlarged
    low-level hodographs and the potential for a few tornadoes with this
    activity. With time this evening, convection is forecast to grow
    upscale into a small but potentially intense cluster as it moves
    northeastward into parts of western/northern OK and southern/central
    KS.

    Isolated severe hail may occur tonight with elevated convection
    farther north in a low-level warm advection regime across eastern
    NE/ northwest MO into IA. Farther south, isolated supercells may
    also occur along the length of the dryline across west TX late this afternoon/evening, with associated threat for occasional large hail
    and severe gusts. However, confidence in any more than isolated
    coverage remains low due to weak large-scale forcing.

    ...Ohio Valley into the central Appalachians...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly eastward today across
    the OH Valley. Modest low-level moisture will remain in place
    along/south of a front, with generally weak instability forecast
    across the warm sector. Even so, sufficiently strong low to
    mid-level winds associated with this shortwave trough may promote
    occasional damaging winds with loosely organized clusters that can
    develop and spread eastward through the afternoon.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Beneath an upper high and within an easterly low-level flow regime,
    strong heating will occur today across the FL Peninsula, with
    dewpoints dropping into the mid 60s F. Despite the upper high,
    mid-level temperatures will remain relatively cool. Scattered
    convection appear probable along the western FL Peninsula during the
    afternoon where low-level convergence will be maximized. Locally
    strong wind gusts will be possible, though organized severe
    thunderstorms are not forecast owing to weak deep-layer shear.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
    tonight from northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle into western
    Oklahoma and southern/central Kansas. Large to very large hail, a
    few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds are possible.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    An upper trough will amplify over the western U.S. today as a broad
    zone of modestly enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow persists over
    the southern/central Plains. At the surface, lee cyclogenesis is
    forecast to occur across eastern Colorado through this evening,
    which will promote continued northward transport of low-level
    moisture across Texas into Oklahoma/Kansas. A surface dryline will
    also extend southward from the low over the southern High Plains.

    Multi-layer cloud cover remains semi-prevalent at late morning but
    peripheral gradual clearing is noted across parts of western North
    Texas as well as along the New Mexico/Texas border vicinity. The
    strongest heating/mixing will occur in vicinity across far
    west/northwest Texas, but it seems probable that storm development
    will occur within the somewhat richer moisture near/just east of the
    Caprock Escarpment including parts of Low Rolling Plains and
    Texas/southwest Oklahoma border vicinity. Such development should
    occur by around 4pm-6pm CST as convective temperatures are breached.

    Somewhat modest/nebulous large-scale ascent will probably support a
    multi-hour period of semi-discrete supercells even if effective
    shear is not robust and low-level shear/SRH a bit modest during time
    of initial development, but nonetheless steadily strengthening
    toward/after 00z/6pm CST. This will include associated threats for
    large to very large hail initially, potentially up to 2-3 inches in
    diameter. The increasing low-level shear through the evening will
    also foster enlarged low-level hodographs and the potential for a
    few tornadoes with this activity, potentially including a
    spatiotemporal window for a strong (EF2+) tornado even if a more
    complex mode is evolving. Over time, convection is forecast to grow
    upscale into a small but potentially intense cluster as it moves
    northeastward into parts of western/northern Oklahoma and southern
    Kansas.

    Isolated supercells may also occur along the length of the dryline
    across west Texas late this afternoon/evening, with associated
    threat for occasional large hail and severe wind gusts. However,
    confidence in any more than isolated coverage remains low due to
    weak large-scale forcing. Farther north, isolated severe hail may
    occur tonight with elevated convection in a low-level warm advection
    regime across eastern Nebraska, northwest Missouri into Iowa.

    ...Ohio Valley to the central Appalachians...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly eastward today across
    the Ohio Valley. Modest low-level moisture will remain in place
    along/south of a front, with generally weak instability forecast
    across the warm sector. Even so, sufficiently strong low to
    mid-level winds associated with this shortwave trough may promote a
    few instances of damaging winds with loosely organized clusters that
    develop and spread eastward through the afternoon.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Beneath an upper high and within an easterly low-level flow regime,
    strong heating will occur today across the Florida Peninsula, with
    dewpoints dropping into the mid 60s F. Despite the upper high,
    mid-level temperatures (-11 or -12C at 500mb) will remain relatively
    cool. Scattered convection appear probable along the western Florida
    Peninsula during the afternoon where low-level convergence will be
    maximized. Locally strong wind gusts will be possible, although
    organized severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon into
    tonight from northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle into western
    Oklahoma and southern/central Kansas. Large to very large hail, a
    few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds are possible.

    ...20z Update...
    No changes have been made to the D1 Convective Outlook with this
    update.

    Visible satellite continues to show continued mid-level cloud cover
    across the far eastern Texas Panhandle into central Oklahoma. A warm
    front has shifted northward across central Oklahoma, with 60F dew
    points as far north as a line from the Oklahoma City Metro to Tulsa
    and northeast OK. Dew points in the Texas Panhandle are also slowly
    increasing, with mid to upper 50s. Breaks in the clouds are
    increasing across this region, with filtered heating and
    temperatures warming into the mid 60s to 70s on the western edge of
    the cloud cover. Cu development is noted across the dryline in far
    western TX/eastern NM. Steady cumulus development is ongoing across
    the southern Texas Panhandle into western OK, with billow clouds
    downstream of Cap Rock from Motley, Childress, and Cottle Counties
    indicative of continued low-level stability, which is noted in the
    18z sounding from AMA.

    Thunderstorm development is expected near/just east of the Caprock
    Escarpment with a few more hours of additional daytime heating by
    late afternoon (4-6 PM CST as mentioned below). Initial development
    is expected to be supercelluar, with potential for large to very
    large hail. Strengthening of the low-level jet and resulting
    increase in low-level shear through the evening will enlarge
    hodographs, with an increasing risk for tornadoes, with potential of
    a strong tornado (EF2+).

    Additional thunderstorm development may also occur across the length
    of the dryline into west Texas where a Marginal Risk was maintained.
    A Marginal Risk also continues across the Ohio Valley. See previous
    discussion below for more information.

    Scattered strong cells are evolving across the eastern TX Panhandle
    and western OK, where moisture and instability continue to develop
    northward. Storms have been slow to get organized/sustained due to
    weak low-level convergence, but several severe storms appear likely
    this evening as the low-level jet increases and the environment
    remains favorable. The 00Z AMA soundings shows a supercell wind
    profile with substantial instability, supporting both large hail and
    tornado potential.

    Additional/isolated storms cannot be ruled out south of the Enhanced
    Risk area, as the environment remains unstable with minimal
    inhibition.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    CENTRAL AND NORTHERN TEXAS NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected from late afternoon
    through tonight from parts of the southern Great Plains to the
    Midwest. The greatest potential for a couple strong tornadoes and
    isolated very large hail is across eastern portions of
    Oklahoma/Kansas and western portions of Arkansas/Missouri.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper wave within a broader positive-tilt trough will eject out
    of CO and into the northern Plains late in the day, with a 70+ kt
    midlevel jet moving from NM across KS, NE, and into IA and MN late.
    South of this jet, height tendencies will be relatively neutral for
    much of the period, with falls generally from KS northward late in
    the day.

    At the surface, a cold front will push south to a southern MN to
    southwest KS line by 00Z, with low pressure over southern
    KS/northwest OK. A dryline will extend south from the low into
    western OK and west-central TX at the same time. East of the
    dryline, dewpoints will rise firmly into the mid 60s F.

    Meanwhile, a warm front will push rapidly north across IA/IL/IN
    during the day, reaching into southern WI and southern Lower MI by
    late afternoon. Above the moistening boundary layer, a broad fetch
    of 40-60 kt southwest winds at 850 mb will exist, aiding both
    theta-e advection and enhancing low-level shear over a large area.

    ...Southern Great Plains to the Midwest...
    A complex forecast scenario will exist today, with multiple areas of
    severe potential, some highly conditional. Large-scale ascent
    appears to be most favorable from the surface low in KS
    northeastward along the cold front, and along portions of the warm
    front from IA eastward. Bouts of thunderstorms are probable across
    IA and vicinity, with both bowing structures and supercells
    producing wind, hail, and perhaps a tornado. Additional storms are
    expected along the warm front across parts of IL, IN, and into
    southern Lower MI, and while instability will be weaker, low-level
    shear will favor rotating storms and perhaps some tornado risk.

    Another focused area of potential will be from northern TX into
    eastern OK, western AR and southwest MO, where increasingly deep
    moisture to 700 mb and daytime heating well east of the dryline may
    yield a zone of tornado potential. Mid 60s F dewpoints, southwest
    850 mb winds to 50 kt and effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2 suggest any
    storms that form within this zone may have tornado potential.

    A more conditional risk of supercells, including tornado and very
    large hail, will exist along the length of the dryline from
    south-central KS across parts of central OK and into western-north
    Texas. Here, models are having difficulty producing precipitation
    with a relatively stationary dryline and the wave passing well to
    the north. However, strong heating west of the dryline will occur,
    at least a narrow zone of isolated supercell potential will develop.
    Perhaps after a full days heating and toward 00Z, an isolated
    supercell or two will be able to form somewhere along the dryline,
    assuming capping remains minimal and low-level convergence is
    non-zero. Very large hail as well as tornadoes are conditionally
    possible in this scenario.

    Overnight as the cold front continues southeast across northeast OK
    and MO, shear will remain favorable for QLCS tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS INTO WESTERN ARKANSAS/MISSOURI AND
    SOUTHERN IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected from mid afternoon
    through tonight from parts of the southern/central Plains to the
    Ozarks and Midwest. The greatest potential for a few strong
    tornadoes and very large hail should exist across eastern portions
    of Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska into western Arkansas/Missouri and
    southern Iowa.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper troughing over the western CONUS this morning will evolve into
    more of a split flow pattern through the period, as a lead mid-level
    shortwave trough ejects northeastward across the central
    Plains/Upper Midwest, and a closed low develops over the southern CA
    vicinity. A surface lee cyclone has moved into northwest KS early
    this morning, and is forecast to develop towards IA by this evening,
    while a secondary low shifts eastward along the KS/OK border. A cold
    front attendant to the primary surface low will surge
    east-southeastward across the southern/central Plains and adjacent
    portions of the Midwest through the period, and will likely provide
    a focus for organized severe convection later today. A warm front
    will develop northward through tonight across parts of the Upper
    Midwest/Great Lakes. This boundary should serve as a northern limit
    to the severe threat from surface-based convection. A dryline will
    also extend southward from the secondary surface low across
    western/central OK into TX by late afternoon.

    ...Central Plains into the Midwest/Great Lakes...
    Strong low-level warm/moist advection ahead of the lead mid-level
    shortwave trough will continue to support scattered to numerous
    thunderstorms this morning across eastern KS/NE into northern MO and
    IA/IL. This activity will tend to remain elevated, but could pose an
    isolated hail threat. In the wake of this convection, low-level
    moisture is expected to continue streaming northward today ahead of
    the cold front, with upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints common
    by mid afternoon. Cold temperatures aloft and steepened mid-level
    lapse rates will support the development of at least 1000-1500 J/kg
    of MLCAPE with daytime heating. More instability should exist
    farther south into KS where greater low-level moisture will be in
    place.

    Current expectations are for scattered robust thunderstorms to
    develop around mid afternoon (20-22Z) across southeast NE/northern
    KS and vicinity, in close proximity to the surface low and ejecting
    shortwave trough. Additional convection may also form farther south
    into central/eastern KS. Strong deep-layer shear associated with a
    50-70+ kt mid-level jet will easily support organized updrafts,
    including multiple supercells initially. This activity will pose a
    risk for large to very large hail, but fairly quick upscale growth
    into one or more bowing clusters with a wind damage threat seems
    probable along/ahead of the cold front as convection spreads into
    IA/MO through the evening. Some risk for at least isolated
    severe/damaging winds may persist late tonight into early Saturday
    morning across WI/IL and perhaps even Lower MI if one of these
    clusters can maintain intensity, although instability is forecast to
    become more limited with eastward extent across these areas.

    A few tornadoes may occur with sustained supercells or embedded QLCS circulations across the central Plains/Midwest along/south of the
    warm front given favorable low-level shear and enlarged/curved
    hodographs. A strong tornado appears possible with any supercells
    this evening as low-level shear strengthens in tandem with a south-southwesterly low-level jet. The Enhanced Risk has been
    expanded a little north/westward in northeast KS, southeast NE, and
    southwest IA to account for the very large hail potential with
    initial supercell development. Some consideration was also given to
    greater severe wind probabilities in IA, but confidence in a more
    concentrated corridor of damaging winds is low given the weaker
    instability forecast with eastward extent across the Midwest.

    ...Southern Plains into the Ozarks...
    Convective initiation along the length of the dryline in OK/TX
    remains highly uncertain this afternoon/evening, as low-level
    convergence will be weak and stronger large-scale ascent associated
    with the ejecting shortwave trough will remain mostly displaced to
    the north of these areas. Still, recent HRRR/RAP/NAM guidance
    suggests that MLCIN will be minimal by peak afternoon heating, with
    moderate instability in place along/east of the dryline. If any
    cells can form and be sustained, they would likely become severe and
    pose a threat for very large hail given the presence of steep
    mid-level lapse rates noted on the 12Z OUN observed sounding, along
    with around 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear aiding updraft
    organization. The tornado threat would also increase this evening
    with any persistent supercells as low-level shear gradually
    strengthens. Regardless, the chance for convective initiation still
    appears highly uncertain/conditional this afternoon. A better chance
    for robust thunderstorm development remains apparent later this
    evening/tonight as the cold front advances southward. Both large
    hail and damaging winds may occur with this overnight activity
    through the end of the period.

    Most guidance also continues to show a somewhat separate area of
    thunderstorms developing farther east across eastern OK/western AR
    and vicinity this afternoon into early evening. This activity might
    be aided by a very weak mid-level perturbation moving northeastward
    today across central/northeast TX. If this convection develops, then
    it would pose a threat for all hazards, including large hail,
    damaging winds, and tornadoes (some of which could be strong). No
    changes have been made to the Enhanced Risk across the southern
    Plains/Ozarks with this update.

    the cold front across east-central Nebraska and western Kansas, with
    upper 50s to low 60s F surface dewpoints common by mid afternoon.
    Cold temperatures aloft and steepened mid-level lapse rates will
    support the development of at least 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE with
    daytime heating. More instability may exist farther south into
    Kansas where greater low-level moisture will be in place, although
    such details are complicated by existing convection/cloud cover
    across eastern Kansas into northwest Missouri at mid-morning.

    Current expectations are for scattered robust thunderstorms to
    develop around mid afternoon (20-22Z) across southeast
    Nebraska/northern Kansas and vicinity, in close proximity to the
    surface low and ejecting shortwave trough. Strong deep-layer shear
    associated with a 50-70+ kt mid-level jet will easily support
    organized updrafts including multiple supercells initially. This
    activity will pose a risk for large to very large hail, but fairly
    quick upscale growth into one or more bowing clusters with a wind
    damage threat seems probable along/ahead of the cold front as
    convection spreads into Iowa/Missouri this evening. Some risk for at
    least isolated severe/damaging winds may persist late tonight into
    early Saturday morning across Wisconsin/Illinois and Lower Michigan
    if these clusters can maintain intensity, although instability is
    forecast to become more limited with eastward extent across these
    areas.

    A few tornadoes may occur with sustained supercells or embedded QLCS circulations across the central Plains/Midwest along/south of the
    warm front given favorable low-level shear and enlarged/curved
    hodographs. Pending development into the warm sector, a strong
    tornado could occur with any supercells this evening as low-level
    shear strengthens in tandem with a south-southwesterly low-level
    jet.

    ...Southern Plains and Ozarks...
    Thunderstorms have increased and locally intensified this morning
    across north-central Oklahoma into southeast Kansas, complicating
    the later-day scenario somewhat with poorly resolved
    short-term/convective details in guidance. Convective initiation
    along the length of the dryline in Oklahoma/Texas still remains a
    bit uncertain this afternoon/evening, as low-level convergence will
    be weak and stronger large-scale ascent associated with the ejecting
    shortwave trough will remain mostly displaced to the north of the
    region. Even so, especially to the south of aforementioned early day
    storms, at least isolated deep convective development is plausible
    into mid/afternoon in areas near the dryline, but perhaps more
    likely to its east potentially related to differential
    heating/somewhat richer low-level moisture.

    Where cells can sustain and mature, they would likely become severe
    and pose a threat for very large hail given the presence of steep
    mid-level lapse rates noted on the 12Z OUN observed sounding, along
    with around 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear aiding updraft
    organization. The tornado threat would also increase this evening
    with any persistent supercells as low-level shear gradually
    strengthens. Additional and more probable robust thunderstorm
    development remains apparent later this evening/tonight as the cold
    front accelerates south-southeastward. Both large hail and damaging
    winds may occur with this overnight activity through the end of the
    period.

    Valid 062000Z - 071200Z

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected from mid-afternoon
    through tonight across parts of the southern/central Plains to the
    Ozarks and Midwest. The greatest potential for a few strong
    tornadoes and very large hail should exist across eastern portions
    of Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska into western Arkansas/Missouri and
    southern Iowa.

    ...20z Update...
    No categorical changes were made to the D1 Convective Outlook.

    A corridor of more favorable tornado potential is possible this
    evening near the interface of the surface low and warm front across
    far southeastern Nebraska/northeast Kansas/northwest Missouri. Here,
    within the warm sector cells may develop ahead of the cold front
    within an region of enhanced low-level shear (given the placement of
    the warm front and forecast increase in south-southwesterly
    low-level jet). There are some complicating factors, such as ongoing
    cloud cover and convection in the warm air advection regime this
    morning. Some sheltered heating is ongoing with breaks in the cloud
    cover, with MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg nosing in from the west. The 18z
    soundings from Lamont, OK and Topeka, KS show this trend in
    instability as well as enlarged/curved hodographs and strong 50 kt
    flow aloft. Forecast soundings depict further enlargement of
    low-level hodographs this evening, amid steep lapse rates and dew
    points in the low to mid 60s, and STP values around 2. Given the
    favorable parameter space, tornado probabilities were increased with
    this outlook.

    Otherwise, the Enhanced remains unchanged. See previous discussion
    below for more information.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY FROM
    EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST
    ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms remain possible primarily from northeast
    Oklahoma into Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, with isolated severe storms
    extending from central Texas to Lower Michigan. Scattered hail,
    damaging winds, and a few tornadoes remain possible.

    ...Discussion...
    The most active area of tornado threat is currently with a cluster
    of storms over northeast OK. This activity may continue to evolve
    this evening as the low-level jet increases, and shear remains
    favorable into eastern KS and southwest MO. The TOP and SGF 00Z
    soundings continue to show wind profiles favorable for tornadic
    cells.

    To the north along the cold front, an unstable air mass remains
    ahead of it, although the front will quickly undercut much of the
    area as it continues south. However, brief supercells may occur
    along the boundary, with wind and tornado threat, and, elevated hail
    will remain possible well behind the front.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE UPPER
    OHIO VALLEY INTO PARTS OF WESTERN NEW YORK...PENNSYLVANIA...AND WEST VIRGINIA...AND OVER MUCH OF TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely from Saturday morning into
    the evening across over parts of Ohio into West Virginia and western Pennsylvania and New York, and from much of Texas into the lower
    Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positive-tilt shortwave trough will sweep across the upper MS
    Valley and Great Lakes today, while a surface low pivots northeast
    from the Great Lakes into Quebec. A cold front will extend
    southwestward from the low, extending from northwest OH into
    southeast TX by 00Z. To the east, a warm front will lift north
    across VA and into western NY and PA during the day.

    Ahead of the cold front, a plume of 60s F dewpoints will extend from
    TX into IN and OH, with mid to upper 60s F across the lower MS
    Valley and 70 F dewpoints near the Gulf Coast. East of the
    Appalachians, lower 60s F dewpoints will develop northward as far
    north as VA, MD and DE. Shear will be maximized from the Ohio Valley
    into the northeast in association with the upper trough, with the
    greatest relative severe potential there.

    ...OH Valley into western NY/PA/WV...
    Height falls will occur during the day across the region, with
    increasing wind speeds and shear. Daytime heating and southwest
    surface winds will lead to sufficient instability to support
    afternoon severe storms from parts of the OH Valley northeastward
    into western NY/PA. Here, lift and low-level shear will be
    accentuated along the warm front, possibly supporting a few
    supercells with attendant tornado risk just ahead of the cold front.
    Otherwise, 40-50 kt mean wind speeds just off the surface, in
    combination with linear forcing along the advancing front will favor
    wind damage.

    ...TX into the Lower MS Valley...
    Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near and north of
    the cold front as it plunges south through the period. Given mid to
    upper 60s F dewpoints ahead of the front, substantial elevated
    instability will remain well north of the boundary as well as ahead
    of it. Sufficient mid to high level shear may aid hail production
    with cells even as they are undercut. Otherwise, any convection
    forming ahead of the front may also produce strong wind gusts, aided
    by modest southwest winds in the lower few km.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF TEXAS TO
    THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/TENNESSEE VALLEY AND UPPER OHIO
    VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely today across parts of Ohio
    into West Virginia and western Pennsylvania/New York, and from
    portions of Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Mid-South.
    Damaging winds should be the main threat for most areas, but large
    hail may occur across parts of Texas, and a few tornadoes are
    possible in the upper Ohio Valley.

    ...20z Update...
    No major changes were made to the D1 Convective Outlook. Main edits
    with this update were to remove probabilities behind the main lines
    of storms across the Northeast and from the Mid-South into the
    Southern Plains.

    Across the Northeast, a broken line of storms continues
    northeastward, with a few leading line supercell structures ongoing.
    The environment ahead of this line continues to destabilize with
    daytime heating in combination with continued strong flow aloft
    promoting an uptick in storm organization. See MCD#167 for more
    information.

    From the Ohio Valley to Mid-South the Gulf States and into the far
    eastern Southern Plains, a line of storms continues southeastward
    this afternoon, with showers and thunderstorms developing ahead of
    this line within the warm sector. The environment ahead of this line
    is very moist and unstable. Further south, there is some
    displacement from the strongest winds aloft, though deep layer shear
    remains favorable. See MCD#168 for more information.

    See previous discussion below for more information.

    ..Thornton.. 03/07/2026

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1033 AM CST Sat Mar 07 2026/

    ...Ohio Valley to Western Pennsylvania/New York...
    A loosely organized linear band of currently non-strong
    thunderstorms, which is effectively augmenting the cold front,
    continues generally eastward at midday toward Lake Erie/central Ohio
    and across northern Kentucky. Ample insolation is occurring per
    visible satellite ahead of this convection across eastern portions
    of Kentucky/Ohio into West Virginia and western Pennsylvania, with
    surface dewpoints generally climbing through the upper 50s F. This
    scenario will quickly erode remaining convective inhibition, with
    thunderstorms expected to increase and intensify through
    mid-afternoon.

    As storms develop/mature, strong cyclonically influenced flow aloft
    (45+ kt effective shear) will support both supercells and well-organized/fast-moving clusters in the presence of a 40-50 kt
    southwesterly low-level jet, with notable 50-65 kt winds around 3km
    AGL/700 mb. These storms will be capable of scattered
    severe/damaging winds as they move quickly east-northeastward across
    the region. The potential also exists for line-embedded and/or
    supercell tornadoes given the degree of 0-2km AGL shear/SRH. This
    convection is forecast to weaken this evening as it moves into the
    higher terrain of the Appalachians and encounters a much less
    unstable airmass.

    ...Texas to the Lower Mississippi Valley/Mid-South...
    At late morning, extensive linear bands of convection are
    principally located near the southeastward-advancing cold front from
    the Mid-South/Memphis vicinity southwestward to the ArkLaTex and
    central Texas, with some stronger/occasional hail-capable
    post-frontal elevated convection noted across parts of the Edwards
    Plateau and Low Rolling Plains. Damaging winds will remain the most
    common hazard across the Mid-South/parts of Kentucky and ArkLaMiss
    vicinity as convection moves/develops into a gradually destabilizing
    air mass regionally.

    Potential for supercells is more apparent across parts of Texas,
    where steep mid-level lapse rates, greater MUCAPE, and modestly
    enhanced mid/upper-level flow, and related deep-layer shear, will
    support the potential for primarily large hail. This supercell hail
    potential should be maximized across south-central Texas potentially
    including parts of the Hill County/Brush Country toward the Rio
    Grande.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/MID-SOUTH...AND PORTIONS OF
    THE OHIO VALLEY INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA/NEW YORK...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely today across parts of Ohio
    into West Virginia and western Pennsylvania/New York, and from
    portions of Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Mid-South.
    Damaging winds should be the main threat for most areas, but large
    hail may occur across parts of Texas, and a few tornadoes appear
    possible in the upper Ohio Valley.

    ...Ohio Valley into Western Pennsylvania/New York...
    A large-scale upper trough will continue to advance eastward today
    across the Midwest, Great Lakes, and OH Valley though the period.
    The primary surface low is forecast to develop northeastward into
    Ontario and Quebec through the day, while a trailing cold front
    moves quickly east-southeastward across the OH Valley and eventually
    PA/NY. Recent visible satellite imagery shows some clearing across central/eastern OH, and strong low-level warm moist advection
    associated with a 40-50+ kt low-level jet will aid in a gradual
    increase in low-level moisture ahead of ongoing convection across
    KY/southern IL into IN. While MLCAPE should only peak around
    500-1000 J/kg ahead of the front by early afternoon, strong flow at low/mid-levels will aid thunderstorm clusters in producing scattered severe/damaging winds as they move quickly eastward across the upper
    OH Valley later today. The potential for a few line-embedded and/or
    supercell tornadoes is also apparent given sufficient low-level
    shear. This convection is forecast to weaken this evening as it
    moves into the higher terrain of the Appalachians and encounters a
    much less unstable airmass.

    ...Texas into the Lower Mississippi Valley/Mid-South...
    Extensive convection is ongoing this morning along/near a
    southeastward-moving cold front. Isolated damaging winds will remain
    possible this morning where short line segments/bows can stay ahead
    of the surging front. Current expectations are for an uptick in
    thunderstorm intensity to occur this afternoon as activity spreads southeastward into a gradually destabilizing airmass across the
    lower MS Valley/Mid-South. Scattered damaging winds along
    consolidating outflows should be the main threat for most areas this
    afternoon through early evening as low-level lapse rates steepen.
    But, some potential for supercells remains apparent across parts of
    TX, where steep mid-level lapse rates, greater MUCAPE, and modestly
    enhanced mid/upper-level flow and related deep-layer shear will
    support the potential for large hail. Even with the primary upper
    trough remaining to the north, some enhancement to the low-level
    winds persists, which may support a brief tornado threat in the
    short term. See Mesoscale Discussion 164 for more details on the
    near-term severe threat across AR and vicinity.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few storms may produce hail across southern Texas, with sporadic
    wind damage still possible extending into parts of the Southeast.

    ...Discussion...
    Scattered cells continue to develop near and north of the cold front
    into southern TX, with areas of heavy rain and periodic strong gusts
    moving across southeast TX and into southern MS and central AL.

    The 00Z CRP sounding shows substantial instability with MLCAPE
    around 2000 J/kg. Low-level flow is relatively weak, but veering
    with height which may aid updraft propagation to the east/southeast.
    Moderate mid to high level winds are also elongating hodographs,
    which may support favorable storm structure for large hail.

    Otherwise, an elongated line of thunderstorms extending from
    southeast TX into the southern Appalachians may produce strong wind
    gusts at times, with generally marginal shear profiles for anything
    sustained. The loss of daytime heating will also support a weakening
    trend during the evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
    NORTH CAROLINA...NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...AND SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible this
    afternoon and early evening across parts of the Carolinas to
    southeast Virginia. A few strong storms may linger over southern
    Texas.

    ...Carolinas into southeast Virginia...
    A positive-tilt upper trough will move across the Northeast today,
    with tail end sweeping across the Mid Atlantic and Southeast. A
    surface trough / front will extend roughly from NJ/DelMarva into the
    Piedmont, with 60s F dewpoints ahead of the wind shift. Daytime
    heating will result in 500-1000 J/kg with generally poor lapse rates
    aloft. However, peak heating will steepen low-level lapse rates, and
    perhaps support locally strong outflow winds as storms develop on
    the boundary after 18Z. Forecast wind profiles suggest mixed-mode
    storms with both cells and small bows will be possible, and marginal
    hail cannot be ruled out as effective shear tops 35 kt.

    ...Southern TX...
    Shortwave ridging will occur over TX today, which may induce weak
    warm advection atop the surface front. Despite northerly winds at
    the surface, a band of midlevel moisture may remain aloft,
    supporting scattered thunderstorms at various times of the day. The
    weak synoptic ascent will probably result in minimal severe (hail)
    chances today.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
    AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA...SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...AND NORTHEAST
    SOUTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible this
    afternoon and early evening across parts of the Carolinas to
    southeast Virginia. A few strong storms may linger over southern
    Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a positively tilted shortwave
    trough from southern Quebec southwestward through the Lower MO
    Valley. Another shortwave trough extends from far northwestern
    Ontario into western Upper MI. Both of these waves are forecast to
    remain progressive today, with the lead wave continuing quickly
    northeastward and moving off the New England and northern
    Mid-Atlantic coasts by this evening.

    At the surface, an extensive cold front currently extends from
    northern NY southwestward into deep south TX. Several lows exist
    along this front, including one over the NY Hudson Valley and
    another over central MS. Northern and central portions of this front
    are expected to progress eastward/southeastward today, in tandem
    with the lead wave as it progresses northeastward.

    Showers and thunderstorms are currently ongoing in the vicinity of
    this front over southwest/south-central LA and the Upper TX Coast,
    as well as behind the front across south-central TX. The cold front
    will become increasingly diffuse across these areas today, but
    thunderstorms could still linger near this boundary into the early
    evening. Strong mid to upper level flow suggests a few isolated
    strong to severe storms are possible, but overall severe storm
    coverage will likely be tempered by poor low-level lapse rates and
    weak low to mid-level flow.

    ...Carolinas into Southeast Virginia...
    Recent surface observations place low 60s dewpoints into southeast
    VA, but the mid 60s dewpoints are still confined to the Carolina
    coast. Additional moistening is anticipated across the region this
    morning ahead of the approaching cold front, with the 60s dewpoints
    spreading farther north and west. However, the higher dewpoints will
    likely only reach slightly farther inland, perhaps reaching the
    central Carolinas. Amid this low-level moisture, temperatures are
    expected to warm into the upper 70s/low 80s, supporting modest
    buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg) during the afternoon.
    Potential for greater buoyancy will be mitigated by poor mid-level
    lapse rates. Even so, the combination of modest buoyancy, moderate
    shear, and ascent along and ahead of the cold front could result in
    a few stronger, more organized storms. Given the steep low-level
    lapse rates, locally strong outflow is possible within any more
    organized and persistent updrafts.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AND SOUTH TEXAS...

    Isolated, marginally severe thunderstorms are possible this
    afternoon and early evening across parts of the Carolinas to
    southeast Virginia. A few strong to locally severe storms capable of
    hail may linger across South Texas today.

    ...Carolinas and Southeast Virginia...
    At midday, temperatures continue to warm through the 70s F, nearing
    80F, across the Piedmont and coastal plain ahead of a cold front, in
    the presence of middle 60s F dewpoints. This will continue to yield
    weakening inhibition and modest buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around
    500-1000 J/kg) this afternoon, with increasing storm development
    anticipated by mid/late afternoon. The combination of modest
    buoyancy, moderate shear, and ascent along and ahead of the cold
    front will likely yield a few stronger, more organized storms. Given
    the steep low-level lapse rates, locally strong outflow/damaging
    gusts are possible within any more organized and persistent
    updrafts, particularly with development across the coastal plain.

    ...South Texas...
    A couple of strong/locally severe storms capable of large hail may
    linger today within an elevated supercell-favorable environment.
    Effective shear exceeds 40 kt and elevated MUCAPE is estimated to be
    around 1000-1500 J/kg based on available 12z observed soundings and
    latest SPC Mesoanalysis data.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    MID-SOUTH REGION AND CENTRAL GULF STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected across the Mid-South region and
    central Gulf states.

    ...Mid-South/Central Gulf States...

    Weak, low amplitude short-wave trough is currently located over the
    southern High Plains. This feature is forecast to advance into
    central OK later this morning before shifting into eastern AR by
    10/00z, then into the southern Appalachians during the overnight
    hours. Despite this short wave, large-scale height rises are
    forecast through the period across much of the eastern CONUS. As a
    result, LLJ will likely prove instrumental in convective initiation
    as low-level warm advection should extend along a corridor from the
    southern Plains into the northern Gulf states.

    Early this morning, 60F surface dew points were observed into
    portions of the Arklatex. Latest model guidance suggests mid 60s dew
    points will advance to near I40 across AR and these values should
    spread into northern MS/AL by late afternoon. Given the strength of
    the LLJ currently observed across north-central TX/OK, there is
    increasing confidence that elevated convection may develop just
    before sunrise across southeast OK. This activity would then
    potentially grow upscale as it approaches the MS River. Latest HREF
    members generally agree with this scenario and multiple thunderstorm
    clusters and possibly an MCS-like cluster could evolve with time.
    Strong deep-layer shear favors the potential for supercells, and
    hail should be the primary concern with this activity. Severe threat
    will spread southeast as thunderstorms spread toward
    northern/central AL by late afternoon, potentially into western GA
    during the evening.

    ...Southern AZ...

    Strong upper low is forecast to advance toward the northern Baja
    Peninsula by 10/00z, eventually shifting into northwest Mexico, just
    south of the AZ border by the end of the period. Steep lapse rates
    are forecast across southern AZ within a favorable zone for
    large-scale ascent. Profiles suggest scattered convection will
    develop and spread north across this region. Some consideration was
    given to adding 5 percent severe hail/wind probabilities to this
    region, but forecast soundings suggest this activity should struggle
    to attain severe levels. Even so, small hail and gusty winds could
    accompany the strongest convection.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ARKLATEX
    AND MID-SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible from the Arklatex and Mid-South
    through the Southeast.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a low-amplitude shortwave
    trough moving through the TX Panhandle, embedded within the westerly
    flow aloft well downstream from an upper low off the Baja California
    Coast. This shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward
    throughout the day, reaching the Mid-South by this evening and the
    southern Appalachians by early tomorrow. Enhanced mid-level flow
    (i.e. 500 mb winds around 50 kt) will accompany this wave, spreading
    eastward in tandem with the progression of the wave.

    Recent surface analysis shows a relatively moist airmass already in
    place from the southern Plains through much of the Southeast. Mid
    60s dewpoints currently extend from the TX Coastal Plain through
    east TX and over much of LA. This moist airmass is expected to
    advect quickly northward/northeastward throughout the day, largely
    in response to strengthening low to mid-level flow downstream of the
    increasing westerlies across the Plains. Ascent attendant to the
    embedded shortwave coupled with the increasing moisture and buoyancy
    will likely result in thunderstorm development from the Arklatex and
    Mid-South through much the Southeast.

    ...Arklatex/Mid-South through the Southeast...
    A diffuse stationary front currently extends from east-central OK
    into northern AL before shifting more northeastward across eastern
    TN. Modest warm-air advection is ongoing throughout the western
    portion of this boundary, supported by the increasing low to
    mid-level flow just ahead of the shortwave trough mentioned in the
    synopsis. Isolated thunderstorms have already developed across
    southeast OK, and this is likely the beginning of a thunderstorm
    cluster that is expected to develop from the Arklatex into the
    Mid-South vicinity this morning. Steep mid-level lapse rates and
    moderate vertical shear suggest some hail is possible with this
    early activity. Recently issued MCD #0177 provides additional
    information for this early morning activity.

    Most of the guidance suggests that the resulting thunderstorm
    cluster becomes increasingly organized with time, growing upscale
    into an MCS before then progressing across northern MS and northern
    AL. The preceding airmass should be moderately moist and buoyant,
    with dewpoints likely in the mid 60s and MLCAPE around 1000 to 1500
    J/kg. Moderate vertical shear should be in place as well, with the
    resulting conditions supportive of MCS maintenance through the
    afternoon. The same conditions will support robust updrafts capable
    of large hail and damaging gusts. Additional, more cellular activity
    is possible in the wake of the main MCS, with conditions remaining
    favorable for hail. Overall tornado potential appears to be limited
    by the likely linear mode as well as the relatively weak low-level
    flow. Even so, the modest low-level curvature expected supports a low-probability tornado threat.

    ...Southern AZ...
    A strong upper low is forecast to advance toward the northern Baja
    Peninsula by 10/00z before shifting into northwest Mexico by the end
    of the period. Steep lapse rates are forecast across southern AZ
    within a favorable zone for large-scale ascent. Thermodynamic
    profiles suggest scattered convection will develop and spread north
    across this region. Forecast soundings show limited buoyancy,
    suggesting this activity should struggle to attain severe levels.
    Even so, small hail and gusty winds could accompany the strongest,
    most persistent updrafts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
    AFTERNOON/EVENING FROM ARKANSAS TO NORTHWEST GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Large hail, damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes are possible
    this afternoon/evening from the Mid-South into northwest Georgia.

    ...AR to north GA this afternoon/evening...
    A weak mid-upper speed max is cresting the larger-scale ridge and
    will move from AR to the TN Valley this afternoon/evening.
    Associated/ongoing convection across AR will likely persist through
    the afternoon with some tendency for upscale growth, while spreading
    eastward along the northern gradient of boundary-layer dewpoints in
    the low-mid 60s. Surface heating in cloud breaks, beneath the
    eastern extent of 7-8 C/km midlevel lapse rates, will contribute to
    moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) along this corridor
    with minimal convective inhibition.

    Deep-layer vertical shear will be sufficient for a somewhat
    organized/bowing storm cluster to evolve from the ongoing AR storms
    as they spread across the TN Valley this afternoon, potentially
    reaching northwest GA by late evening. The initial storms in the
    cluster will pose a threat for large hail (1-2"diameter), with some
    increase in the threat for wind damage from northern MS across
    northern AL/northwest GA. More discrete storms will be possible
    immediately south of the MCS path this afternoon/evening as a
    maritime tropical air mass (68-72 F dewpoints) spreads inland. Wind
    profiles will support supercells capable of producing large hail
    (some could exceed 2 inches in diameter). A modest increase in
    low-level shear this afternoon, combined with rich low-level
    moisture and the possibility of lingering convective outflow from
    the ongoing storms in AR will also support the potential for a
    couple of tornadoes.

    Isolated thunderstorm development may also occur farther southwest
    along the marine warm front into southeast TX, where there is a
    conditional threat for large hail.

    ...Southern AZ this afternoon/evening...
    High-based, low-topped convection is expected in the band of ascent

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    ARKANSAS EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Large hail, damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes are possible
    this afternoon/evening from the Mid-South into northwest Georgia.

    ...20Z Update...
    Two changes have been made to the outlook for this issuance. The
    first change is to trim southeast Oklahoma mostly out of thunder,
    and completely out of the hail and wind probabilities. The second
    change is to add thunder across parts of South Carolina and Georgia.

    ..Broyles.. 03/09/2026

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Mon Mar 09 2026/

    ...AR to north GA this afternoon/evening...
    A weak mid-upper speed max is cresting the larger-scale ridge and
    will move from AR to the TN Valley this afternoon/evening.
    Associated/ongoing convection across AR will likely persist through
    the afternoon with some tendency for upscale growth, while spreading
    eastward along the northern gradient of boundary-layer dewpoints in
    the low-mid 60s. Surface heating in cloud breaks, beneath the
    eastern extent of 7-8 C/km midlevel lapse rates, will contribute to
    moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) along this corridor
    with minimal convective inhibition.

    Deep-layer vertical shear will be sufficient for a somewhat
    organized/bowing storm cluster to evolve from the ongoing AR storms
    as they spread across the TN Valley this afternoon, potentially
    reaching northwest GA by late evening. The initial storms in the
    cluster will pose a threat for large hail (1-2"diameter), with some
    increase in the threat for wind damage from northern MS across
    northern AL/northwest GA. More discrete storms will be possible
    immediately south of the MCS path this afternoon/evening as a
    maritime tropical air mass (68-72 F dewpoints) spreads inland. Wind
    profiles will support supercells capable of producing large hail
    (some could exceed 2 inches in diameter). A modest increase in
    low-level shear this afternoon, combined with rich low-level
    moisture and the possibility of lingering convective outflow from
    the ongoing storms in AR will also support the potential for a
    couple of tornadoes.

    Isolated thunderstorm development may also occur farther southwest
    along the marine warm front into southeast TX, where there is a
    conditional threat for large hail.

    ...Southern AZ this afternoon/evening...
    High-based, low-topped convection is expected in the band of ascent
    immediately north-northeast of the closed low near northern Baja.
    Low-level moisture will be somewhat limited, but steep low-midlevel
    lapse rates and substantial south-southeasterly deep-layer shear
    will support a few storms/clusters capable of marginally severe hail
    and gusts approaching 60 mph.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO NORTHWEST GEORGIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from the
    lower Mississippi Valley to northwest Georgia.

    ...01z Update...

    Gulf State: Convection that developed over southeast OK/AR earlier
    this morning has grown upscale as it spread across the Mid-South
    region. This MCS is now spreading across northern AL and appears to
    be gradually expanding in areal extent. Earlier supercell structures
    have mostly merged within the broader precip shield, and latest MESH
    cores support this with hail signatures primarily below severe
    levels. As the MCS propagates downstream, locally damaging winds,
    and marginal severe hail will be the primary concerns.

    Farther south across the lower MS Valley, both JAN and LIX exhibit
    strong deep layer shear and modest-strong buoyancy. Scattered robust
    convection persists along this corridor, driven in part by weak
    low-level warm advection and diurnal heating. For the next few
    hours, isolated severe will continue within this environment, but
    nocturnal cooling should lead to few storms by mid evening, along
    with weaker convection.

    Southern AZ: Scattered convection has developed along the northern
    periphery of an upper low advancing east across northwest Mexico.
    This activity will continue spreading north this evening as
    favorable large-scale ascent is noted near the international border.
    Nocturnal cooling should lead to weaker updrafts and the overall
    risk of damaging winds/large hail should gradually wane with time.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN MISSOURI...ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA. AN
    ENHANCED RISK IS ALSO FORECAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast on Tuesday from the
    southern Plains into the southern Great Lakes vicinity. All severe
    hazards are possible, including the risk for a few strong tornadoes
    and very large hail.

    ...Southern Great Lakes...

    Strong northern stream will gradually sag south across the northern
    Rockies as a short-wave trough ejects across MT/WY. This feature is
    forecast to advance into the eastern portion of the northern Plains
    by 11/12z as a 90+kt 500mb speed max translates across northwest IA
    into southern MN. Late timing of this feature is not particularly
    conducive for assisting daytime convection downstream across
    northern IL/IN region, as height falls will lag until the latter
    half of the period. Even so, latest model guidance suggests a weak
    surface low will evolve along the front and track across northern MO
    into northwest IL by early evening, then toward southern Lake MI by
    midnight.

    Boundary-layer heating should prove instrumental in destabilization
    ahead of the surface low and forecast soundings suggest convective
    temperatures may be breached after 21z from northern MO into
    northern IL. Strong deep-layer shear favors supercell development
    and this activity will spread east, along/south of a warm front that
    should extend across northern IL into southern MI. Temperature
    gradient across this boundary will be sharp so any supercells that
    spread north of the wind shift will quickly become elevated and pose
    mainly a hail risk. Environmental conditions south of the front
    should be characterized by MLCAPE in excess of 2500 J/kg with strong
    0-3km SRH. Tornadoes and large hail are certainly possible with
    warm-sector supercells. Parameters favor the potential for strong
    tornadoes. This activity will spread east during the overnight
    hours, possibly as far east as portions of northeast OH, as westerly
    flow strengthens across this portion of the Great Lakes.


    ...Southern Plains...

    Strong upper low is clearly evident on water-vapor imagery over the
    central Baja Peninsula early this morning. This low is ejecting
    east-northeast in line with latest model guidance and should advance
    into north central Mexico by 18z, then into far west TX by early
    evening as it begins to open up. Strong boundary layer heating will
    be noted across northeast Mexico, north along the TX/NM border into
    western KS. As a result, steep 0-3km lapse rates will develop ahead
    of the approaching trough. Leading edge of large-scale ascent should
    overspread the dry line around 21z and supercells should quickly
    evolve as midlevel temperatures will cool quickly immediately ahead
    of the trough. Very large hail is possible with initial supercell
    development before strong forcing encourages a more linear evolution
    and possible elongated MCS. Strong winds may accompany this squall
    line.

    Latest model guidance also suggests a weak disturbance may eject
    well ahead of the primary low into south central TX. Deep convection
    is possible ahead of this feature, but the primary concern will be
    some hail and gusts.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MID
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...AND FROM WEST
    TEXAS INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are forecast today from the southern Plains
    into the southern Great Lakes vicinity. All severe hazards are
    possible, including the risk for a few strong to intense tornadoes
    and very large hail.

    ...Synopsis...
    A split-flow upper pattern persists across the CONUS this morning. Early-morning satellite imagery shows a well-defined upper low over
    the central Baja Peninsula within the southern stream and a subtle, low-amplitude shortwave trough moving through the Pacific Northwest
    within the northern stream. Surface analysis shows a large reservoir
    of low-level moisture from the southern Plains and Lower MS Valley northeastward into the southern Great Lakes. General expectation is
    for both the southern-stream upper low and northern-stream shortwave
    to progress eastward today, as some modest phasing occurs between
    these two features.

    This evolution will contribute to strengthening mid-level flow
    across much of the Plains and MS Valley, while also resulting in
    increased ascent across the broad warm sector. This will result in a
    large area of strong to severe thunderstorms from the southern
    Plains into the southern Great Lakes, beginning during the early
    afternoon and persisting through the evening and overnight. Two
    areas within this broader region, west TX into southwest OK and the
    Mid MS Valley into the southern Great Lakes, have environmental
    conditions that support the potential for significant severe
    weather, including very large hail greater than 2" in diameter and
    strong to intense tornadoes.

    ...Mid MS Valley into the Southern Great Lakes...
    Northern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to move out of MT/WY
    this evening, accompanied by strong mid-level flow (over 100 kt at
    500 mb). However, this will be well west of the moist and buoyant
    airmass across the Mid MS Valley. Even so, modest height falls are
    anticipated over the region beginning during the late afternoon. Of
    more consequence for the severe-weather potential, a surface low
    (currently over the central NE/KS border vicinity) will eject
    northeastward ahead of the shortwave, moving along the stationary
    boundary that currently extends into far southern WI. This boundary
    is also expected to sharpen throughout the day as low-level moisture
    advection persists to its south and cold, northeasterly surface
    winds persist to its north. Low-level convergence near the surface
    low and stationary front will be augmented by the previously
    mentioned subtle height falls to support thunderstorm development.
    These mesoscale details as well as which side of the stationary
    boundary storms develop will be key for determining the primary
    severe hazard.

    The airmass south of the stationary front is expected to be
    moderately to strongly unstable, as temperatures in the 80s,
    dewpoints in the low/mid 60s, and steep mid-level lapse rates
    combine to support 2000+ J/kg of MLCAPE. Steep mid-level lapse rates
    and associated moderate elevated buoyancy will persist north of the
    front as well. Given the subtle forcing and mesoscale character of
    this set up, CAM guidance varies notably on the timing and location
    of thunderstorm development.

    Kinematic profiles suggest that any surface-based warm sector
    development should quickly become supercellular, with all severe
    hazards possible, including very large hail and tornadoes. A strong
    to intense tornado is possible, particularly with any storms ongoing
    around 00Z when the low-level flow increases notably, resulting in
    considerable elongation of the low-level hodograph. Latest guidance
    suggests this tornado risk will exist into parts of far southwest
    Lower MI, so probabilities were expanded accordingly. Very large
    hail (i.e. 2"+ in diameter) will also be possible north of the front
    where strong deep-layer vertical shear exists.

    ...Southern Plains...
    The southern-stream upper low is forecast to eject eastward across
    northern Mexico today, with ascent preceding this low overspreading
    a West TX dryline by the afternoon. Initial storm development is
    anticipated over the Permian Basin/Big Bend vicinity, with moderate
    buoyancy and very strong vertical shear supporting a quick evolution
    into supercells capable of very large hail greater than 3" in
    diameter. Increasing thunderstorm coverage is expected from
    southwest TX into southwest OK as the upper low continues eastward.
    Very large hail will remain the primary severe risk although a trend
    towards a more linear mode is expected throughout the evening.
    Strong gusts could accompany the resulting squall line. The tornado
    risk is expected to remain low, owing primarily to the modest
    low-level flow. This low-level flow is expected to increase across
    the TX Hill Country tonight, where a relatively greater tornado risk
    could materialize if cells remain discrete.

    ...Northern OK/KS into the Lower OH Valley...
    Most guidance has trended towards greater thunderstorm coverage
    tonight near the front across northern OK and KS. Moderate buoyancy
    and shear will be in place, supporting strong to severe
    thunderstorms. Large to isolated very large hail is possible with
    the initial development before a trend towards a linear mode shifts
    the primary hazard to damaging gusts. The resulting convective line
    is then expected to continue eastward across AR and MO before
    reaching the Lower OH Valley early tomorrow morning. Damaging gusts
    will remain possible as the line moves east overnight. A
    low-probability tornado threat could also exist within this line as
    it moves into the greater low-level moisture and stronger low-level
    flow farther east across central/southern MO and far southern IL.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF WEST/CENTRAL TX INTO SOUTHWEST OK...AND THE MIDWEST INTO THE
    SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are expected today and
    tonight from the southern Plains to the southern Great Lakes
    vicinity. All severe hazards are likely, including the risk for
    multiple strong to intense tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large
    hail.

    ...Midwest/Southern Great Lakes/Ohio Valley...
    A weak surface low over eastern KS late this morning will translate northeastward along a front towards northern IL through tonight.
    Low-level warm/moist advection will continue today across the
    Midwest/OH Valley into the southern Great Lakes, where surface
    dewpoints of at least low to mid 60s will likely be present by this
    evening. Large-scale ascent across this region will remain fairly
    nebulous, as an upper trough ejects eastward over the northern
    Plains. Still, a strengthening low-level jet across MO into IL/IN
    from late afternoon into this evening should promote scattered
    supercell development along/near the front in north-central IL.

    Moderate to locally strong instability, steep mid-level lapse rates,
    and strong deep-layer shear will all contribute to a very favorable
    environment for significant severe potential. Very large hail (2+
    inches in diameter) will be possible with initial supercells.
    Effective SRH and related low-level shear will markedly increase
    around 11/00Z and later in tandem with the strengthening low-level
    jet. The supercellular tornado threat is likewise expected to
    quickly increase through the late afternoon/evening, as
    enlarged/curved low-level hodographs will easily support intense
    low-level rotation. A focused corridor along and just south of the
    front will have the best potential for multiple strong to intense
    tornadoes (EF2-3+). Accordingly, greater tornado probabilities (15%)
    and a categorical Moderate Risk have been included across parts of northern/central IL into northwest IN with this update.

    Convection should eventually grow upscale along/near the front late
    this evening into the early morning hours on Wednesday. But, the
    threat for tornadoes and severe/damaging winds will likely continue
    with eastward extent across the Midwest/OH Valley, as both
    sufficient instability and strong low-level/deep-layer shear will be
    present across the warm sector.

    ...Texas into Oklahoma...
    A closed mid/upper-level low over northern Mexico will move eastward
    across the Southwest and southern High Plains by this evening while
    devolving into an open wave. Enhanced southwesterly flow aloft and
    pronounced large-scale ascent preceding the upper trough will
    encourage robust thunderstorm development by mid to late afternoon
    along the length of a surface dryline extending southward across
    much of west TX. Steep mid-level lapse rates and strong deep-layer
    shear will support updraft organization, with an attendant threat
    for supercells initially. Very large hail (2-3+ inches in diameter)
    will be possible with this discrete activity, before a transition to
    more linear structures occurs through the evening. An increase in
    the severe/damaging wind threat will likely be realized as this mode
    transition occurs across parts of central TX into southern OK. Some
    threat for embedded tornadoes will also exist, especially into
    central TX where greater low-level moisture and shear are forecast.

    A separate area of severe potential may develop this
    afternoon/evening across parts of central into northeast TX in the
    low-level warm advection regime. While weakly forced, there is some
    chance for at least isolated supercells to develop and pose a risk
    for large hail and a few tornadoes. This scenario remains uncertain,
    but 5% tornado probabilities have been expanded eastward to account
    for this conditional potential.

    ...Oklahoma/Kansas into the mid Mississippi Valley...
    A dryline will be in place across western OK today, with a cold
    front forecast to move slowly southward across KS and parts of MO
    through tonight. While this area will largely remain between
    stronger large-scale forcing to both the north and south, it appears
    probable that additional thunderstorms will eventually develop this evening/tonight along/south of the front. Tornadoes and large hail
    appear possible with any sustained supercells, while damaging winds
    should occur with line segments that can develop and spread eastward
    through early Wednesday morning.

    as clouds continue to gradually erode from west to east. As
    mid-level ascent increases into the evening, there is potential for
    more organized linear structures to move into central Oklahoma and
    North Texas. Steep mid-level lapse rates sampled by observed
    soundings and TAMDAR data suggest severe winds would be a concern
    with these linear structures. Farther north and east, it appears
    probable that capping will lead to decreasing storm intensity.

    stronger large-scale forcing to both the north and south, it appears
    probable that additional thunderstorms will eventually develop this evening/tonight along/south of the front. Tornadoes and large hail
    appear possible with any sustained supercells, while damaging winds
    should occur with line segments that can develop and spread eastward
    through early Wednesday morning.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are expected tonight from
    the southern Plains to the southern Great Lakes vicinity. All severe
    hazards are likely, including the risk for multiple strong to
    intense tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail.

    ...01z Update...

    Large reservoir of MLCAPE on the order of 2500 J/kg extends across
    the southern Plains through the mid MS Valley into northwest
    Indiana. Latest surface analysis depicts a weak surface low near the
    IA/MO/IL border, lifting northeast in line with earlier model
    guidance. A very sharp warm front extends across northern IL into
    lower MI and this will serve as the demarcation for surface-based
    convection through sunrise.

    Scattered supercells have developed along and just south of the warm
    front, immediately ahead of the surface low. This aligns with
    earlier thoughts regarding the prospect for potentially strong
    tornadoes along with very large hail. 00z sounding from ILX strongly
    supports this with very steep lapse rates and strong instability.
    Additionally, 0-3km SRH is on the order of 300 m2/s2. This activity
    will spread/develop east/northeast along/near the warm front, as
    currently depicted by the Moderate Risk.

    Farther southwest across the central Plains, isolated severe
    supercells are developing along the cold front across northwest
    MO-south central KS. These storms should gradually increase in areal
    coverage later this evening as they advance downstream as LLJ is
    forecast to increase across eastern OK into central MO.

    Latest water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined upper low over
    northeast Mexico/far west TX. This feature is beginning to open up
    as it ejects northeast. Leading edge of large-scale ascent has
    overspread the dry line, and earlier supercell activity is beginning
    to evolve into a linear MCS from the Edwards Plateau into portions
    of northwest TX. This activity should continue to grow upscale as it
    spreads downstream, as strengthening LLJ across central TX will
    support ongoing organization. 00z soundings from both FWD and OUN
    exhibit very steep lapse rates, strong 0-6km shear, and strong
    instability and this strongly suggests the potential for
    longer-lived supercells and QLCS.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...ACROSS THE TENNESSEE/OHIO VALLEY INTO THE
    MIDDLE ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected today from
    the ArkLaTex and Lower Mississippi Valley northeastward through the
    Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Ohio Valley/Middle Atlantic...

    Northern-stream trough is digging east-southeast across the northern Rockies/High Plains early this morning and should advance into the
    upper MS Valley by 18z as a 500mb speed max translates through the
    base of the trough, then increases in intensity as it moves across
    lower MI during the afternoon. Large-scale height falls will
    overspread the Great Lakes/OH-TN Valley region as southwesterly flow strengthens across the downstream warm sector. Latest model guidance
    suggests the sharp cold front associated with this feature will
    extend across lower MI-central IL-northern MO at the start of the
    period. This boundary will serve as a primary focus for thunderstorm development through the period. By mid day, the front will have
    surged into northwest OH-central IN and modest boundary layer
    heating is expected across the warm sector downstream.

    Current thinking is modest destabilization will be noted across much
    of the OH/TN Valley such that MLCAPE values should be on the order
    of 1500 J/kg within a strongly sheared environment. Forecast
    soundings support this and supercells are expected to develop, in
    addition to possible line segments and clusters. Large hail is
    possible with supercells, along with damaging winds and a risk for a
    few tornadoes. This activity will spread east toward the Middle
    Atlantic by late afternoon.

    ...Gulf States...

    Positive-tilt short-wave trough is shifting east across west
    TX/northeast Mexico. However, this feature is expected to become
    more negative tilt by late afternoon as it ejects toward the lower
    Sabine River Valley. Seasonally cool 500mb temperatures are noted
    with this feature and a focused 70kt midlevel jet is forecast to
    translate along the Gulf coast during the latter half of the period.
    Left-exit region of this jet will encourage ascent/deep convection.
    Latest guidance suggests a surface low may evolve in response,
    tracking from the upper TX coast, across southern LA into southern
    MS by 12/06z. Some LLJ response is also expected which should aid
    organized thunderstorms across the southern Gulf states. Strong
    shear favors severe winds along with a risk for tornadoes. Some
    consideration was given to increasing severe probabilities ahead of
    this feature. This may be done in later outlooks if conditions
    continue to evolve toward an organized squall line.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected today from
    the ArkLaTex and Lower Mississippi Valley northeastward through the
    Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Synopsis...
    Split-flow upper pattern persists across the CONUS this morning,
    with an upper low moving through TX in the southern stream and a
    shortwave trough moving through the northern and central Plains
    within the northern stream. Both of these systems are forecast to
    progress quickly eastward amid modest phasing and trend towards a
    more confluent, single-stream pattern by early tomorrow morning.

    Currently a broad region of moderate to strong low/mid-level flow
    extends from TX northeastward into eastern Ontario/southern Quebec.
    The strongest low-level flow with this broad region is over the
    Lower/Middle Ohio Valley, where 850 mb flow is around 50 to 60 kt. Thunderstorms are currently clustered over two areas within this
    broader region, IL and OH, and farther south from east TX into the
    Arklatex. The greatest severe thunderstorm potential is expected to
    concentrate downstream of the areas today, with damaging gusts as
    the primary severe hazards.

    ...Ohio Valley through the Mid-Atlantic...
    Regional radar imagery shows a convective line extending from
    west-central IN southwestward into southern IL. This line is
    progressing quickly east-northeastward and has produced several
    strong gusts (i.e. 40-45 kt) thus far. Regional radar imagery also
    depicts a MCV moving into southern IL. Mesoscale ascent attendant to
    this MCV could be aiding in the development of the convective line
    as well as the more cellular storms to its south. General
    expectation is for this convective line to continue quickly
    northeastward across the Ohio Valley, with the robust low-level flow
    support in the potential strong to severe gusts as well as a few
    line-embedded tornadoes. This activity will spread east toward the
    Middle Atlantic by late afternoon.

    This ongoing line is well ahead of a shortwave trough moving through
    the northern/central Plains, and strong low-level moisture advection
    will likely result in airmass recovery in its wake ahead of the
    shortwave. As a result, a second round of thunderstorms is
    anticipated as the shortwave and its associated cold front moves
    through the Ohio Valley during the afternoon and evening. Despite
    airmass recovery, the overall buoyancy will likely be tempered by
    widespread clouds and muted diurnal heating. Even so, the
    combination of modest buoyancy with robust shear will still support
    another round of strong to severe thunderstorms. Strong gusts are
    the primary risk, but line-embedded tornadoes are possible as well.
    Any mature discrete development ahead of the front would likely be supercellular and capable of all severe hazards, including
    tornadoes.

    ...East Texas through the Southeast...
    A few strong to severe thunderstorms are currently ongoing within a
    broad area of precipitation from east TX into southern AR, supported
    by modest buoyancy and strong vertical shear downstream of a
    shortwave moving through west TX. As mentioned in recently issued
    MCD 211, some weakening and veering of low-level flow has been noted
    in regional VWPs, but deep-layer shear remains favorable, and
    seasonably rich low-level moisture will continue to support moderate
    buoyancy. The severe threat may tend to remain rather isolated in
    the short term, though the strongest cells/clusters will be capable
    of producing locally damaging wind and perhaps a tornado.

    A more substantial increase in the coverage of the severe threat is
    expected later this afternoon, in response to increased ascent
    attendant to the approaching shortwave trough. This additional
    development will likely begin in a more cellular mode over east TX
    before progressing eastward and becoming more linear with time. All
    hazards are possible with this more cellular activity, including
    tornadoes. Southwesterly flow aloft should strengthen ahead of the
    shortwave throughout the evening and overnight, leading to increased organization and strength of the convective line. As such, the
    threat for damaging gusts and line-embedded tornadoes will persist
    throughout the night across the Gulf Coast states.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    INTO TONIGHT FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS TO THE
    GULF COAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through
    tonight from the ArkLaTex and Lower Mississippi Valley northeastward
    through the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.

    ...OH Valley/Appalachians through late evening...
    A surface cyclone now in southeast Lower MI will move northeastward
    across the lower Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence Valley and deepen, in
    advance of an amplifying northern-stream shortwave trough now over
    the upper MS Valley. The warm sector of the cyclone is
    characterized by boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 60s into
    OH/western PA/WV as of midday. Clouds/convection have been
    prevalent this morning across OH/western PA in advance of a subtle
    MCV, and the warmer surface temperatures have been confined to areas immediately south of this morning convection. Additional
    thunderstorm development is expected by early afternoon from
    southern IN/northern KY into southern OH/WV/western PA, and storms
    will spread generally eastward within the warm sector through this
    evening. SBCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg and wind profiles with long
    low-level hodographs will support of a mix of line segments and
    supercells capable of producing a few tornadoes and swaths of
    damaging gusts before the threat begins to diminish by late evening.

    ...Southeast TX to MS/AL through tonight...
    Thunderstorms are ongoing along a surface trough approaching
    southeast TX, and additional convection extends northeastward along
    a residual outflow/differential heating zone into the Ark-La-Miss.
    Daytime heating/destabilization and forcing for ascent downstream
    from a midlevel trough (now over the Edwards Plateau) will support a
    continued increase in storm coverage/intensity this afternoon from
    southeast TX into the Ark-La-Miss. Though regional soundings are
    limited in the main part of the moist sector this morning, surface
    observations and model forecast soundings suggest a corridor of
    moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg) through the afternoon in
    advance of the ongoing storms. Deep-layer southwesterly shear,
    largely oriented along the convective band, will help maintain
    clusters and line segments, though embedded supercells are also
    possible. Low-level hodographs will be long enough to justify the
    potential for a few tornadoes with embedded circulations and/or
    favorable storm mergers into the band of storms. Otherwise, wind
    damage will be the main threat with the line segments through
    tonight.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through
    tonight from the Gulf coast into parts of the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...20z update...
    Storm coverage has been a bit more limited compared to earlier
    expectations for the OH Valley into the Appalachians, though widely
    scattered storms persist in an environment with relatively straight
    hodographs and weak-moderate buoyancy. Some tornado/wind threat
    persists with perhaps a locally greater threat for a couple of
    tornadoes in PA where storms interact with a diffuse north-south
    baroclinic zone.

    Otherwise, storm clusters/line segments are more concentrated across
    middle TN and extreme southeast TX. The TN storms will pose mainly
    a wind/marginal hail threat for the next few hours, while the
    southeast TX storms will spread eastward with some uptick in the
    wind/tornado threat overnight as the upstream midlevel trough begins
    to accelerate eastward. A separate/small area with some wind/hail
    threat will be associated with the midlevel cold core later this
    afternoon across interior southeast TX.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected tonight from
    the Gulf Coast into parts of the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...01z Update...

    Middle Atlantic: Narrow corridor of yet-to-be overturned instability
    extends across eastern WV into the Middle Atlantic. Several short
    line segments have developed ahead of the primary short wave, but
    the leading convection over eastern MD/northern DE into NJ is the
    primary concern, as this activity has a bit more buoyancy to work
    with than the trailing convection across central PA into western WV.
    Strong deep-layer shear remains favorable for organized storms to
    spread across this region over the next few hours before ingesting
    cooler marine layer near the Atlantic coast.

    Gulf States: Expansive MCS has evolved over the lower MS Valley
    early this evening. This complex has developed ahead of a
    low-latitude upper low over south central TX that is becoming more
    negative tilt with time. Exit region of midlevel jet will translate
    along the Gulf coast overnight, and this will encourage eastward
    propagation through sunrise. 00z sounding from LIX exhibited strong
    shear, but a substantial warm layer is noted around 4-5km. This warm
    layer should gradually cool as the aforementioned upper low advances
    east tonight.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce damaging winds
    across parts of the Southeast this morning into the early afternoon.
    A tornado can not be ruled out early with this activity.

    Southeast: A well-developed squall line has evolved ahead of a
    pronounced low-latitude short-wave trough. This line of convection
    currently extends across the central Gulf states and is advancing
    steadily east in line with latest model guidance. Early-morning
    water-vapor imagery depicts a short wave that is becoming a bit more negative-tilt as it approaches the lower MS Valley. This feature
    will eject into AL by the start of the day1 period with substantial
    midlevel height falls forecast across much of the Southeast early in
    the period. Upper 60s to lower 70s surface dew points have returned
    inland across the FL Panhandle and southern AL, and a narrow wedge
    of modified Gulf air should be in place across the eastern FL
    Panhandle into extreme southwest GA at sunrise. Current trends
    suggest the leading edge of strong/severe convection will propagate
    into this portion of the Southeast around 12z. Strong deep-layer
    shear favors organized updrafts and given the large-scale support
    ahead of the trough, activity should remain organized at the start
    of the period. Some consideration was given to increasing severe
    probabilities for a narrow wedge immediately ahead of the front for
    early in the period. If the squall line continues severe this may be
    warranted at 13z. Locally damaging winds and perhaps a tornado are
    the expected hazards.

    Isolated strong/severe thunderstorms may also develop along the
    progressive front as it spreads across portions of the Carolinas.
    Severe threat is primarily before 18z, as the cold front will surge
    off the Carolina coast by this time.


    Northern Plains: Strong midlevel jet will dig southeast across MT
    into SD with 500mb speeds expected in excess of 120kt into the
    northern High Plains. AB clipper will dig southeast into the upper
    Red River region by late afternoon and northwesterly flow will
    strengthen across this region as the cyclone shifts east. Forecast
    soundings suggest weak buoyancy will evolve south of the front
    across the northern Plains such that shallow convection is expected
    to develop, along with the threat of some lightning. While strong
    winds will likely develop across eastern MT into SD as lapse rates
    steepen, thunderstorms are not expected to be the primary driver of
    severe wind gusts. For this reason severe probabilities will not be
    introduced.

    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce damaging winds

    A tornado can not be ruled out early with this activity. Strong wind
    gusts are possible across the northern Plains this afternoon as

    ...Southeast into the Carolinas...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows phased shortwave troughs
    within the broad upper troughing across the eastern CONUS, with the
    southern shortwave progressing through the Southeast and the
    northern shortwave moving into the Middle OH Valley. A convective
    line, aided by ascent attendant to the southern shortwave, continues
    to progress eastward/northeastward across GA and the FL Panhandle. A
    warm, moist, and modestly buoyant environment precedes this line,
    with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s and dewpoints ranging
    from the low 60s across the Carolinas to the low 70s across northern
    FL. Expectation is for this line to persist as it continues eastward/northeastward, with perhaps some slowing of the southern
    portion of the line as it becomes displaced south of the better
    forcing for ascent. Central portion of this line nearest the
    strongest forcing will likely have the deepest updrafts for the next
    several hours before progressing northeastward of the better
    moisture and buoyancy as it moves across NC. Robust low to mid-level
    flow will remain in place, supporting the potential for damaging
    gusts and brief line-embedded tornadoes through the afternoon.

    ...Northern Plains...
    Intense mid-level flow (i.e. 100-120 kt at 500 mb) will spread
    southeastward across the northern Plains this afternoon, in tandem
    with a low-amplitude shortwave trough progressing through the
    region. Forecast soundings suggest weak buoyancy will evolve south
    of the front across the northern Plains such that shallow convection
    is expected to develop, along with the threat of some lightning.
    This convection could augment the already strong
    westerly/northwesterly flow, resulting in strong surface wind gusts. Significant wind gusts (65+ kt) are possible.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHERN/EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe thunderstorms may produce occasional damaging winds
    across parts of the eastern Carolinas through this afternoon. A
    brief tornado or two could also occur with this activity. Strong
    convective wind gusts are possible across the northern Plains this
    afternoon as well.

    ...Carolinas and North Florida...
    A broken line of low-topped thunderstorms will continue to move
    quickly northeastward this afternoon across parts of the Carolinas
    in tandem with a mid-level shortwave trough across the Southeast.
    Strong low to mid-level southwesterly flow should promote some
    threat for occasional severe/damaging winds with this line as
    filtered daytime heating fosters modest steepening of low-level
    lapse rates and weak destabilization. Even so, poor mid-level lapse
    rates will tend to limit the development of any more than modest
    instability overall. While low-level winds have generally veered to southwesterly per recent VWPs from LTX/MHX, there is still
    sufficient speed shear in the 0-1 km layer to support embedded
    circulations within the line, and perhaps a brief tornado or two.
    The Slight Risk has been adjusted for latest observational and
    guidance trends to reflect the mainly damaging wind threat with the
    line this afternoon, before it moves offshore into the western
    Atlantic. A small Marginal Risk area has also been maintained for
    parts of north FL where an isolated damaging wind threat should
    exist in the short term with the far southern portion of the line.

    ...Northern Plains...
    Very strong mid-level winds (around 100-120 kt at 500 mb) will
    spread southeastward across the northern Plains this afternoon in
    tandem with a low-amplitude mid-level shortwave trough moving over
    the northern Plains. Latest NAM/RAP forecast soundings suggest very
    weak instability may develop south of a front across the northern
    Plains, such that shallow convection may develop with some threat of
    lightning. This convection could augment the already strong
    west-northwesterly low/mid-level flow, resulting in strong surface
    wind gusts. Isolated significant wind gusts (65+ kt) could occur
    with any sustained convection that develops, but confidence in this
    scenario remains low.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not forecast tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Thunderstorm potential is diminishing quickly across the FL
    Peninsula early this evening. Boundary layer cooling will lead to
    weaker buoyancy over the next few hours and poor lapse rates do not
    appear particularly favorable for robust deep convection. Latest
    radar data exhibits shallow convection along the front, but only a
    few flashes of lightning remain with this activity.

    Across the upper MS Valley, exit region of strong midlevel jet will
    support weak elevated convection from eastern ND across MN into
    western WI tonight. Warm advection and steep lapse rates should aid
    the potential for at least a few flashes of lightning within the
    stronger updrafts. Even so, thunderstorms will remain quite
    isolated.

    Neutral-weak height rises are forecast across the FL Peninsula
    during the day1 period as midlevel flow gradually weakens across low
    latitudes, including the eastern Gulf basin/south FL. Latest
    diagnostic data depicts a weak surface boundary extends across the
    southern tip of the peninsula, and this feature is forecast to
    migrate toward the western tip of the south FL Peninsula by the end
    of the period. Modest daytime heating should contribute to weak
    buoyancy and scattered convection is expected to develop within this
    weak-flow regime. Forecast lapse rates/instability appear too weak
    to warrant a meaningful risk for severe thunderstorms today.

    Strong/gusty winds may occur with low-topped convection across parts
    of western/central Pennsylvania and vicinity this afternoon, but
    organized severe thunderstorms are not forecast.

    ...Western/Central Pennsylvania...
    An upper trough with associated 100-125 kt mid-level jet will move
    eastward today from the Great Lakes/OH Valley into the Mid-Atlantic.
    Rather strong low/mid-level flow will overspread the upper OH Valley
    into western/central PA and vicinity by this afternoon ahead of a
    surface cold front. Low-level moisture is expected to remain very
    limited, with surface dewpoints in the teens and 20s across this
    area as of late morning/early afternoon. Some modest increase in
    boundary-layer moisture and cold temperatures aloft attendant to the
    upper trough may support weak MUCAPE with modest daytime heating.
    One or more bands of low-topped convection may develop and pose some
    threat for strong/gusty winds beyond the already enhanced background
    gradient wind field. However, the meager moisture and instability
    forecast this afternoon suggest that any severe risk will likely be
    very isolated, so low wind probabilities have not been included with
    this update.

    ...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
    Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms should develop this
    afternoon across parts of the central/southern FL Peninsula along
    and south of a remnant front. This convection may preferentially
    form along the Atlantic Coast sea breeze in a weakly unstable
    environment. Poor lapse rates aloft (reference 12Z KEY and 00Z MFL
    observed soundings) and weak low/mid-level winds noted on recent
    KAMX/KBYX VWPs will likely limit overall updraft strength and
    organization. While small hail and/or gusty winds could occur with
    the stronger cores that develop, the overall severe threat should
    remain low.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe hail and gusty winds may occur with thunderstorms
    that develop across parts of the southern Florida Peninsula this
    afternoon.

    ...Florida...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop this afternoon
    across parts of the FL Peninsula and the Keys, with agitated cu
    noted on recent visible satellite imagery across east-central to
    southeast FL. Greater low-level moisture is present across
    central/south FL, where 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints exist per
    latest observations. Continued daytime heating of this moist airmass
    will support the development of moderate instability through the
    afternoon. Modest mid-level lapse rates (reference 00Z MFL and 12Z
    KEY observed soundings) and weak low/mid-level winds may tend to
    limit updraft strength. Even so, modestly enhanced upper-level winds
    and related deep-layer shear around 25-30 kt could support isolated
    severe hail and gusty downdraft winds with the strongest cores that
    develop. Have added a Marginal Risk for this potential across parts
    of the southern FL Peninsula and vicinity where the greatest
    concentration of convection is expected.

    ...Northern Rockies/High Plains...
    Moisture will remain meager today (surface dewpoints generally in
    the teens and 20s) across the northern Rockies and High Plains as an
    upper trough amplifies and a surface cold front advances southward
    over this region. Even so, cold temperatures aloft may support very
    weak MUCAPE and occasional lightning flashes with low-topped
    convection that should develop from eastern ID/southern MT into much
    of WY and vicinity this afternoon/evening. While gusty winds may
    occur with this activity, the very limited thermodynamic environment
    should preclude organized severe thunderstorms.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Low-level warm/moist advection will increase tonight into early
    Sunday morning across parts of the Upper Midwest as a
    south-southwesterly low-level jet strengthens. Weak MUCAPE
    (generally less than 1000 J/kg) along and north of a warm front and
    strong large-scale ascent preceding the upper trough ejecting
    eastward over the northern Plains may support elevated thunderstorms
    late tonight (mainly after 15/06Z) across parts of IA/MN/WI. Small
    hail could occur with the strongest cores, and lightning flashes
    appear possible with mixed/wintry precipitation well north of the
    warm front into MN/WI.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe hail and gusty winds may occur with thunderstorms
    that develop across parts of the southern Florida Peninsula this
    afternoon.

    ...20Z Update...
    No changes to the ongoing forecast are necessary. Recent observed
    soundings from central/south Florida showed potential for marginally
    severe storms, though a mid-level subsidence layer was noted with
    northern extent. Additional short-term details can be found in MD
    #237.

    ..Wendt.. 03/14/2026

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1116 AM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026/

    ...Florida...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop this afternoon
    across parts of the FL Peninsula and the Keys, with agitated cu
    noted on recent visible satellite imagery across east-central to
    southeast FL. Greater low-level moisture is present across
    central/south FL, where 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints exist per
    latest observations. Continued daytime heating of this moist airmass
    will support the development of moderate instability through the
    afternoon. Modest mid-level lapse rates (reference 00Z MFL and 12Z
    KEY observed soundings) and weak low/mid-level winds may tend to
    limit updraft strength. Even so, modestly enhanced upper-level winds
    and related deep-layer shear around 25-30 kt could support isolated
    severe hail and gusty downdraft winds with the strongest cores that
    develop. Have added a Marginal Risk for this potential across parts
    of the southern FL Peninsula and vicinity where the greatest
    concentration of convection is expected.

    ...Northern Rockies/High Plains...
    Moisture will remain meager today (surface dewpoints generally in
    the teens and 20s) across the northern Rockies and High Plains as an
    upper trough amplifies and a surface cold front advances southward
    over this region. Even so, cold temperatures aloft may support very
    weak MUCAPE and occasional lightning flashes with low-topped
    convection that should develop from eastern ID/southern MT into much
    of WY and vicinity this afternoon/evening. While gusty winds may
    occur with this activity, the very limited thermodynamic environment
    should preclude organized severe thunderstorms.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    Low-level warm/moist advection will increase tonight into early
    Sunday morning across parts of the Upper Midwest as a
    south-southwesterly low-level jet strengthens. Weak MUCAPE
    (generally less than 1000 J/kg) along and north of a warm front and
    strong large-scale ascent preceding the upper trough ejecting
    eastward over the northern Plains may support elevated thunderstorms
    late tonight (mainly after 15/06Z) across parts of IA/MN/WI. Small
    hail could occur with the strongest cores, and lightning flashes
    appear possible with mixed/wintry precipitation well north of the
    warm front into MN/WI.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE TONIGHT
    ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of strong thunderstorms capable of producing small to
    marginally severe hail are possible overnight across parts of
    central and eastern Iowa.

    ...01Z Update...
    The categorical thunderstorm area across the Midwest has been
    shifted southward a bit to account for the current position of the
    low-level baroclinic zone, and its motion downstream of a surface
    cyclone overnight. The center of the cyclone is forecast to migrate
    from eastern Colorado into central Kansas through late this evening,
    before reforming northeastward toward the St. Joseph MO vicinity by
    early Sunday. Latest Rapid Refresh forecast soundings indicate that
    moisture return to the immediate cool side of the developing warm
    frontal zone may contribute to 500-1000 J/kg of most unstable CAPE,
    near the nose of an intensifying south-southwesterly low-level jet
    (including 50-70 kt around 850 mb) across the southern Great Plains
    through lower Missouri Valley by 15/09-12Z.

    Strongest thunderstorm development seems likely to focus along a
    tightening mid-level thermal gradient (centered around 700 mb) to
    the north of the Missouri/Iowa state border vicinity, as warming
    (and capping) elevated mixed-layer air advects northeast of the
    central Great Plains through lower Missouri Valley. Given the
    generally cool overall profiles, storms may, at least initially,
    become capable of producing small to marginally severe hail, before
    this risk perhaps diminishes as convection becomes more widespread.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
    AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH INTO LOWER
    OHIO VALLEY AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE EASTERN GULF COAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widespread strong to severe wind gusts may accompany a developing
    squall line across and east of the middle into lower Mississippi
    Valley late this afternoon into this evening. A couple of strong
    tornadoes are also possible within and just ahead of this line
    across parts of the lower Ohio Valley into Mid South, with a couple
    of strong tornadic supercells also possible across parts of the
    Florida Panhandle and southeastern Alabama into adjacent Georgia
    late tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    To the north of an expanding blocking mid-level high, centered off
    the southern California coast, models indicate that large-scale
    ridging will continue to build inland of the British Columbia/U.S.
    Pacific coast, through the Canadian Rockies and U.S. Intermountain
    West during this period. Downstream, a significant short wave
    trough is forecast to continue amplifying southeastward across the
    Great Plains and Mississippi Valley, preceded by building ridging
    near and east of the Atlantic Seaboard.

    Downstream of the digging short wave trough, a broad and deep
    cyclone has already formed to the east of the Colorado Rockies, with
    a plume of warm elevated mixed-layer air overspreading the central
    and southern Great Plains toward the lower Mississippi Valley. The
    center of the cyclone is forecast to redevelop east-northeast into
    the St. Joseph MO vicinity by daybreak, before continuing to deepen
    while migrating northeastward toward lower Michigan today through
    tonight. It appears that the northeastern periphery of the elevated mixed-layer plume will spread across the lower Missouri Valley
    before becoming suppressed southeastward.

    In the wake of a preceding surface cyclone and associated cold
    frontal passage, Gulf boundary-layer moistening and inland return
    flow remain limited at this time. Although it should improve some,
    aside from a narrow corridor of better boundary-layer moisture
    return across the southeastern Great Plains toward the lower Ohio
    Valley, and broader corridors across the southern through middle
    Atlantic Seaboard, as well as across the eastern Gulf Coast vicinity
    by late tonight, warm sector dew points may not exceed lower/mid 50s
    F. This may prove a limiting factor to the overall severe threat.
    Nevertheless, guidance continues to indicate the development of a
    fairly extensive squall line along much of the length of a cold
    front advancing across and east of the Mississippi Valley toward the Appalachians late this afternoon through tonight.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley into Great Lakes...
    Latest model output suggests that the stronger 850 mb jet core may
    tend to shift ahead of the deepening surface cyclone, north of the
    Ohio Valley into and through the lower Great Lakes region during the
    afternoon. However, 40-50+ kt southerly flow may tend to trail back
    ahead of the cold front to the southwest, at least as far as the Mid
    South vicinity through late afternoon, as a narrow corridor of
    better boundary-layer moisture return (characterized by lower 60s F
    surface dew points) surges across northeastern Arkansas and
    southeastern Missouri into southern Illinois, western Kentucky and
    Tennessee.

    North-northeast and east of this vicinity, toward the Great Lakes
    and upper Ohio Valley, the narrow corridor of better pre-frontal
    moisture is likely to be more modest and supportive of rather modest
    to weak CAPE. And there is concern that deeper boundary-layer
    warming and mixing in the drier pre-convective environment may
    actually be more efficient at mixing down stronger momentum to the
    surface than the thunderstorm activity.

    However, based on the latest forecast soundings, there does still
    appear potential for widespread potentially damaging wind gusts at
    least approaching or exceeding 50 kts, with an evolving pre-frontal
    squall line as it spreads across and east of the middle to lower
    Mississippi Valley vicinity. Gusts exceeding 65 kts, and potential
    for tornadoes, may tend to be confined to meso-vortices evolving
    along the leading edge of the convective outflow, particularly
    within the more moist environment across the lower Ohio Valley into
    Mid South.

    There may also be a late afternoon into early evening window of
    opportunity, across this same corridor, for either initially
    discrete supercell development or discrete supercell development
    just ahead of the evolving eastward advancing line. If this occurs,
    there will probably be at least somewhat greater potential for
    strong tornadoes. However, this remains unclear, particularly given
    the limited breadth of the moist sector, and the tendency for it to
    be rather quickly overtaken by the cold front.

    ...Eastern Gulf Coast States...
    Models continue to indicate a separate area of better low-level
    moisture return across the eastern Gulf coast, which may include
    surface dew points increasing through the lower/mid 60s across the
    western Florida Panhandle, southeastern Alabama and adjacent Georgia
    by late tonight. It appears that this will support a corridor of boundary-layer destabilization characterized by CAPE in excess of
    1000 J/kg. Coincident with enlarging, clockwise curved low-level
    hodographs beneath 40-45 kt southwesterly 850 mb flow overspreading
    the region, and in the presence of sufficient deep-layer shear,
    there appears potential for the evolution of longer-lived supercells
    which could become capable of producing strong tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH INTO LOWER OHIO VALLEY
    AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE EASTERN GULF COAST STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widespread strong to severe wind gusts may accompany a developing
    squall line across and east of the mid/lower Mississippi Valley this
    afternoon into this evening. A couple of strong tornadoes are also
    possible within and just ahead of this line across parts of the
    lower Ohio Valley into Mid South and Gulf Coast regions.

    ...Mid Mississippi/Lower Ohio/Tennessee Valleys...
    An active severe weather event is expected to occur this afternoon
    through tonight over a large part of the east-central CONUS. Water
    vapor imagery confirms a powerful shortwave trough is amplifying
    over the central Plains this morning, with a deep surface low
    tracking from northern MO into Lower MI during this forecast period.
    Very strong southerly low-level winds (50-75 knots at 850mb) in the
    warm sector will transport 50s surface dewpoints rapidly northward,
    resulting in widespread marginal to moderate CAPE values from Lower
    MI to the Gulf coast. Current indications are that thunderstorms
    will begin increasing in coverage and intensity around midday as a
    strong cold front surges into the region. The initial storms over
    AR/MO will track into an environment quite favorable for supercell
    structures and tornadoes - but the intense linear forcing along the
    front, and weak capping ahead of the front may short-circuit
    discrete cell formation and mesocyclone development. Nevertheless,
    a conditional risk of significant tornadoes will exist through at
    least early evening.

    There will be an increasing risk of widespread damaging winds and
    occasional embedded tornadoes along the squall line/cold front as it
    sweeps eastward into the OH and TN Valleys during the late afternoon
    and evening. Extremely strong winds just above the surface will
    allow deep-convective elements to produce severe winds. This threat
    may persist much of the night, spreading as far east as eastern
    KY/TN and much of GA by 16/12z.

    Earlier model runs suggested the development of a more favorable
    environment for supercells and tornadoes late tonight over parts of
    AL/GA/FL. More recent model solutions have backed off from that
    scenario, but will keep the ENH for now and re-evaluate with 12z
    model cycle.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    AND TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER/MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...LOWER
    OHIO VALLEY...TENNESSEE VALLEY...AND SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Numerous to widespread severe/damaging winds and embedded tornadoes
    will accompany an intense squall line across much of the lower/mid
    Mississippi Valley this afternoon and evening. A couple of strong
    tornadoes are also possible within and just ahead of this line
    across parts of the lower Ohio Valley into the Mid-South and Gulf
    Coast regions. The severe wind and tornado threat will likely
    persist through tonight across portions of the Ohio
    Valley/Southeast.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast into the Ohio
    Valley/Midwest...
    Pronounced upper troughing over the northern/central Plains late
    this morning will further amplify through the period as it ejects east-northeastward across much of the MS Valley/Midwest. A 992 mb
    surface low over northern MO will likewise develop northeastward
    across the Midwest through the day, reaching northeast IL/northwest
    IN by this evening and northern Lower MI by the end of the period.
    Primary low-level jet will focus northward across the OH
    Valley/Midwest this afternoon and evening, with a trailing/southern
    portion present across parts of the Mid-South and lower MS Valley.
    Associated strong low-level warm/moist advection will continue to
    occur ahead of a sharp surface cold front that is expected to sweep
    quickly east-southeastward through tonight over much of the
    lower/mid MS Valley, OH/TN Valleys, and Southeast.

    Low-level moisture remains fairly shallow/limited ahead of the cold
    front per latest surface observations and area 12Z observed
    soundings (ILX, SGF, JAN, LIX). Still, generally 50s surface
    dewpoints should be present in a narrow warm sector across the OH Valley/Midwest by late afternoon/early evening, with somewhat
    greater moisture (upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints) southward
    into the lower/mid MS Valley. Large-scale ascent attendant to the
    approaching upper trough will aid in the erosion of a substantial
    cap noted along/ahead of the cold front by early afternoon (18-20Z).
    With even modest/filtered daytime heating, at least weak instability
    should develop in a narrow corridor ahead of the front. This gradual destabilization will support the potential for rapid thunderstorm
    development within the next few hours.

    General consensus of latest guidance is that a QLCS will quickly strengthen/consolidate through the mid to late afternoon into the
    evening as it moves quickly eastward across AR/MO and the lower/mid
    MS Valley and lower OH Valley. Deep-layer shear of 40-50+ kt
    associated with a strengthening west-southwesterly mid-level jet
    overspreading the warm sector will support organization with the
    maturing QLCS. Given the expected strength of the flow in the
    boundary layer (50-60+ kt), numerous to potentially widespread
    severe/damaging winds up to 60-80 mph are expected wherever the QLCS
    can remain surface based. Strong low-level shear will also be
    present to foster embedded mesocirculations and the potential for
    several QLCS tornadoes.

    The opportunity for supercells to develop ahead of the squall line
    remains uncertain, as residual low-level capping may inhibit open
    warm sector development. Still, greater instability should be
    present from the western KY/TN vicinity southward into the lower MS
    Valley. Any supercells that can form ahead of the line across these
    areas and/or remain at least semi-discrete within the line could
    produce strong (EF-2+) tornadoes, as low-level shear and related elongated/curved hodographs will be quite favorable for updraft
    rotation. Although boundary-layer instability will become
    increasingly weak with northward extent into the OH Valley tonight,
    a continued threat for numerous severe/damaging winds will likely
    continue with the QLCS as it shifts eastward across the OH/TN
    Valleys and much of the Southeast this evening through early Monday
    morning. Have therefore expanded/combined the wind-driven Enhanced
    Risk areas in southern/central MS/AL into western GA and eastern TN.
    Some chance for pre-frontal supercells and strong tornado potential
    ahead of the QLCS may also exist late tonight across portions of
    southeast AL, the FL Panhandle, and southwest GA.

    ...Florida Peninsula into the Carolinas...
    Low-level moisture will gradually spread northward through tonight
    from the FL Peninsula to the southern Appalachians and into parts of
    the Carolinas, well ahead of the amplifying upper trough over the MS
    Valley. While forcing will remain generally weak/nebulous, there is
    some chance for isolated hail/damaging winds with thunderstorms this
    afternoon across much of the FL Peninsula and the Keys. The severe
    threat across coastal GA/SC/NC appears conditional on thunderstorms
    spreading inland from the Gulf Stream tonight into early Monday
    morning. However, an isolated threat for damaging winds and perhaps
    a tornado would exist in a gradually improving environment if these
    cells form and move inland. Have therefore maintained the Marginal
    Risk across this region with no changes.

    Some trimming to severe/thunder probabilities was done across
    Missouri given the progression of the sharp cold front. Lapse rate
    and shear profiles will favor supercells from near the Sabine Valley
    into the Mississippi Delta region. There, hail to around 2 inches is conditionally possible. The greatest potential for strong tornadoes
    still appears to be within the mid-Mississippi Valley. Tornado
    probabilities were adjusted based on the latest guidance. Lastly,
    higher wind probabilities (45%) were expanded southeastward where
    there is an increased signal in guidance for a coherent line of
    convection to maintain intensity this evening/overnight. See the
    previous discussion for additional details.

    threat across coastal GA/SC/NC appears conditional on thunderstorms
    spreading inland from the Gulf Stream tonight into early Monday
    morning. However, an isolated threat for damaging winds and perhaps
    a tornado would exist in a gradually improving environment if these
    cells form and move inland. Have therefore maintained the Marginal
    Risk across this region with no changes.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY INTO MID SOUTH AND EASTERN GULF COAST
    STATES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A squall line may continue to pose a risk for widespread strong to
    severe wind gusts and perhaps a couple of tornadoes through late
    evening as it progresses east of the middle Mississippi Valley into
    the Ohio Valley. The severe threat may continue into and through
    the overnight hours as it advances east of the lower Mississippi
    Valley toward the eastern Gulf Coast states.

    ...01Z Update...
    The northern flank of the ongoing squall line, and closely trailing
    cold front, just south of the center of the deep cyclone migrating
    toward Lower Michigan, is beginning to undercut a narrow pre-frontal
    plume of mid 50s F surface dew points advecting north-northeastward
    through the lower Ohio Valley. As this continues through the next
    few hours, it appears that inflow may become characterized by
    steadily decreasing CAPE, emanating from downstream a boundary layer
    with dew points still in the upper 40s F from Lexington and
    Louisville KY northward. While this is likely to result in
    weakening thunderstorm activity, it is possible that widespread
    gusts generally approaching to exceeding 50 kt may be a bit slower
    to diminish.

    Farther south, although an initial plume of better pre-frontal
    moisture return into the Mid South (characterized by lower 60s F dew
    points) may be overtaken by the squall line shortly, another plume
    of better boundary-layer moistening appears underway across eastern
    Mississippi and western Alabama. As this continues to develop
    northward this evening, beneath 40 kt southerly 850 mb flow,
    unstable inflow and strong shear may maintain or support
    re-intensification of storms across the Tennessee Valley into
    central and eastern Gulf States. Although model output has been
    varied, there remains at least some signal in potential for more
    discrete downstream supercell development within strengthening
    low-level warm advection late tonight across southeastern Alabama
    and adjacent portions of the Gulf Coast states. If this occurs,
    forecast low-level hodographs could support a strong tornado or two.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND...MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA...CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF SOUTH
    CAROLINA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Fast moving thunderstorms may become widespread and accompanied by
    the risk for damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes across the Mid
    Atlantic today. There is potential that a couple of storms could
    become capable of producing strong and long track tornadoes.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will maintain
    amplitude across the Pacific coast through the Canadian Prairies and
    U.S. Rockies into early Tuesday and beyond. At the same time, it
    appears that downstream ridging will undergo further amplification
    just east of the Atlantic Seaboard, with only very slow eastward
    progression of large-scale troughing in between, across the
    Mississippi Valley into the Atlantic Seaboard.

    It does appear that one significant short wave perturbation will
    gradually pivot through the base of the troughing, toward the
    Cumberland Plateau during the day today, before rapidly accelerating
    northward near the Appalachians toward southwestern Quebec this
    evening through the overnight hours. Models suggest that this will
    eventually provide support for a rapidly deepening secondary surface
    cyclone across Quebec, downstream of an occluding and weakening
    cyclone across the lower Great Lakes vicinity.

    Surface troughing ahead of the trailing cold front is also forecast
    to undergo notable deepening to the east of the Allegheny Front and
    Blue Ridge today, and it appears that a rather sharp surface
    pressure fall/rise couplet will develop and overspread the northern
    Mid Atlantic coast late this afternoon and evening with the passage
    of the trough and trailing cold front. The cold front may clear all
    the Atlantic Seaboard, but perhaps portions of southern Florida and
    the Keys, by 12Z Tuesday.

    ...Atlantic Seaboard...
    Low-level moisture return is underway across the southern into
    middle Atlantic Seaboard. By early this afternoon, it appears that
    60+ F surface dew points will advect as far north as the higher
    terrain of central through northeastern Pennsylvania, with dew
    points perhaps as high as the lower/mid 60s F across eastern North
    Carolina and Virginia. In advance of a pre-frontal squall line,
    which may be ongoing and beginning to spread to the lee of the
    southern Appalachians through the eastern Gulf Coast states at the
    outset of the period, it appears that destabilization and
    large-scale ascent may support scattered new thunderstorm
    development fairly early in the day. The extent to which this may
    impact further destabilization through late afternoon remains
    unclear.

    Destabilization may also be impacted by relatively warm air/weak
    lapse rates in mid/upper-levels, as models suggest that cold air
    aloft will tend to lag to the west of the surface cold front. Even
    so, forecast soundings suggest that, with breaks in the overcast, at
    least weak boundary-layer CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg is
    possible in the warm sector across the Mid Atlantic.

    In the presence of very strong southwesterly deep-layer mean flow on
    the order of 50-60+ kt and strong to extreme low-level shear,
    including at least modest clockwise curvature, the environment
    appears potentially conducive to the evolution fast moving
    supercells with potential to produce strong tornadoes. Barring much interference from other storms, which remains uncertain at this
    time, at least a couple of these could become long track, given the
    storm motions.

    Otherwise, trailing this activity, the lee surface trough/cold front
    might become a focus for a developing line of storms capable of
    promoting the downward transfer of momentum with potential to
    produce widespread damaging wind gusts.

    Farther south, it appears that the initial squall line may be
    maintained or re-intensify, with a continuing risk for strong to
    severe wind gusts and potential for tornadoes into and across the
    southern Atlantic coast.

    PARTS OF CENTRAL MARYLAND...MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
    VIRGINIA...CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF SOUTH
    CAROLINA......

    ...SUMMARY...
    Fast moving thunderstorms may become widespread and accompanied by
    the risk for damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes across the Mid
    Atlantic today. There is potential that a couple of storms could
    become capable of producing strong and long track tornadoes.

    ...Southeast States...
    An intense upper trough continues to deepen over the Mid MS Valley,
    with its associated surface cold front surging eastward across the
    Appalachians and into the Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic. An active line of thunderstorms is accompanying the front from GA into western
    SC/NC/VA. Low-level winds are very strong along and ahead of these
    storms, encouraging the risk of numerous severe wind gusts and
    embedded QLCS tornadoes along the line. Clusters of thunderstorms
    have been developing ahead of the line as well, in a moist and
    strongly sheared environment. These storms will also pose a
    severe/tornado risk through the day as the primary large-scale
    ascent arrives.

    ...Mid Atlantic States into NY...
    Farther north, low-level moisture is a little more limited and CAPE
    values will be slightly lower. Nevertheless, intense low and mid
    level wind fields will be present across this region as the cold
    front approaches from the west. Thunderstorms are expected to
    strengthen through the late morning across west-central VA into
    central NY/PA and spread eastward to the coast by early evening.
    Forecast soundings across this area show very large low-level shear
    values that will favor the risk of widespread damaging winds and
    several tornadoes. Strong tornadoes will be possible - especially
    from MD southward where the greatest low-level moisture will be
    present.

    In the wake of the main convection, secondary cyclogenesis is
    forecast to occur late this afternoon along the cold front over
    VA/MD. The initial storms will remove most of the low-level moisture/instability, but the extreme intensity of the low-level
    winds fields and large-scale forcing could result in a secondary
    risk of damaging winds from low-topped showers and thunderstorms
    after dark. This threat could spread northeastward into eastern
    PA/NJ and perhaps southern New England.

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF
    SOUTH CAROLINA...NORTH CAROLINA...VIRGINIA...WASHINGTON D.C. AND
    MARYLAND...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Multiple rounds of severe storms through this evening will yield
    potential for scattered to widespread damaging winds and a few
    strong tornadoes from the Carolinas into the Mid-Atlantic States.

    ...Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast...
    Large-scale outflow from ongoing broken linear bands along with a
    separate swath of convection with the low-level warm conveyor have
    greatly hampered the amplitude of diurnal destabilization across the
    Carolinas to the DE Valley. Primary severe threat should remain with
    the pre-frontal linear bands as they spread east-northeast this
    afternoon. Some intensification may yet occur across eastern
    SC/southern NC within pockets of low 70s surface temperatures. See
    MCDs 272-273 for additional storm-term discussion.

    Farther north, a pre-frontal low-topped convective line is evolving
    across central PA. This should be the primary driver of afternoon
    severe potential northeastward into parts of NY as mid 50s to low
    60s surface dew points remain prevalent just ahead of this line.
    Within a deeply meridional wind profile, damaging winds and embedded
    tornadoes will be the main hazards. This activity should remain
    spatially confined by a lack of downstream boundary-layer
    destabilization over eastern NY into New England.

    In the wake of this leading activity, a second round of low-topped
    convection will likely reform east of the Blue Ridge into the
    Piedmont towards late afternoon/early evening. Prior overturning and
    persistent cloud coverage should mitigate appreciable boundary-layer destabilization. However, robust large-scale ascent and intensifying lower-level winds will accompany the ejection of a 100+ kt 500-mb
    jetlet within the basal shortwave trough. This should yield a
    renewed threat for damaging winds accompanying the fast-moving line.
    Even with meager buoyancy, another round of sporadic severe gusts
    should occur from NC/VA to the Chesapeake Bay/DE Valley vicinity
    through this evening.

    ...GA/FL...
    Moderate buoyancy characterized by MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg will
    persist through the afternoon ahead of southwest/northeast-oriented
    convection. With large-scale ascent, outside of low-level
    convergence, becoming more focused to the north of this region,
    there is uncertainty on how far south an organized line will persist
    in the FL Peninsula. Primary severe threat should remain through
    mid-afternoon, with a generalized waning in southern extent this
    evening.

    Scattered severe storms with damaging winds and a few strong
    tornadoes are expected this afternoon and evening from the Carolinas
    into the Mid-Atlantic States.

    ...20Z Update...
    A couple of changes have been made to the outlook for this issuance.
    The first change is to remove the Moderate Risk area. Numerous
    storms have developed early this afternoon along and near the
    instability axis from the eastern Carolinas northward into the
    Mid-Atlantic. As a result, instability has remained weaker than was
    expected, and severe threat coverage should be a bit less than was
    previously forecast. The second change to the outlook is to remove
    severe threat probabilities and thunder to the west of the
    instability corridor from the Florida Panhandle northward into parts
    of the southern and central Appalachians.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
    ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Showers overspreading the northern Mid Atlantic coast vicinity may
    continue to be accompanied by strong to severe wind gusts and
    perhaps the risk for a tornado or two through mid to late evening.

    ...01Z Update...
    The sharp surface frontal zone has been steadily progressing east of
    the Allegheny Front and Blue Ridge Mountains the past few hours,
    coincident with an area of low pressure within deep surface
    troughing migrating across northern Virginia into south central
    Pennsylvania. Along the front near and just south of the wave, a
    narrow line of convection continues to develop, supported by lift of
    moist boundary-layer layer air characterized by at least weak CAPE.

    Due to relatively warm mid/upper levels with weak lapse rates,
    convection is likely to remain low-topped with little, if any,
    lightning. However, downdrafts have been sufficient to support the
    downward transfer of momentum, associated with 50-60 kt southerly
    mean flow in the lowest 3 km above ground level. Profiles sampled
    in 17/00Z sounding from Dulles (IAD) appear supportive of at least
    some risk for a tornado or two.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm probabilities appear less than 10 percent across the
    U.S. today through tonight.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that blocking within the large-scale pattern will
    remain prominent through this period. This includes one notable
    mid-level high, which may build further while slowly beginning to
    shift inland of the southern California coast, into the Southwest.
    As this occurs, large-scale ridging likely will be maintained across
    the offshore mid-latitude Pacific through the Rockies, with at least
    some expansion eastward across the Great Plains.

    It appears that another mid-level high may attempt to form
    downstream, within initially amplified large-scale ridging across
    the western mid-latitude Atlantic, as a couple of significant short
    wave perturbations emerge from lingering larger-scale troughing
    initially across the Mississippi Valley through Atlantic Seaboard.
    Both of the waves are forecast to rapidly accelerate within strong southwesterly flow into the northern mid-latitude Atlantic.

    As this occurs, a broad, deep and occluding surface cyclone is
    forecast to migrate northeast of the eastern Canadian provinces,
    with the trailing cold front advancing away from much of the
    Atlantic Seaboard, while slowing/stalling across the Bahamas into
    Caribbean. The center of cold surface ridging likely will shift from
    near the northwestern Gulf coast into the Mid Atlantic vicinity
    today through tonight, but models indicate that surface ridging will
    be maintained to the southwest, across much of the Great Basin.

    In association with this regime, dry and/or stable conditions are
    likely to prevail across much of the U.S., with negligible risk for thunderstorm activity today through tonight.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1108 AM CDT Tue Mar 17 2026/

    ...Synopsis...
    Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a large-scale upper
    trough over the East with a ridge over the West. Drier and stable
    conditions have encompassed much of the CONUS in wake of a cold
    front that continues to push eastward into the western Atlantic.

    Thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight across the contiguous
    United States.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough will remain over the eastern U.S. tonight, as
    northwest mid-level flow continues over much of the remainder of the
    nation. At the surface, an area of high pressure will be located
    from the Southeast into the Atlantic Coastal states. Due to the
    pattern, a dry airmass will be in place over most of the nation, and
    conditions will be unfavorable for thunderstorm development through
    daybreak Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a prominent mid-level ridge over
    the southwestern states, with fast northwest flow aloft over much of
    the rest of the CONUS. This pattern will prevent the return of Gulf
    moisture, and preclude organized thunderstorms over most areas.

    The one exception will be over south FL, in vicinity of a stalled
    boundary. While an isolated lightning strike or two will be
    possible over land, much of the thunderstorm risk will affect
    offshore waters. No severe storms are anticipated.

    The previous forecast remains on track with no adjustments required.
    Latest GOES imagery shows shallow convection developing immediately

    While a lightning flash or two is possible with this activity, the
    lack of vertical development/limited cloud phase change (per Day

    Latest guidance continues to suggest the greatest lightning threat
    will remain along the southeast FL coast through evening.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the Upper Ohio Valley, mainly late this afternoon into the evening.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley...

    Dominant upper ridge will hold across the southwestern parts of the
    CONUS through the day1 period, but this feature will influence most
    of the western US by forcing stronger westerlies to near the
    international border/Great Lakes region. Latest model guidance
    suggests a weak shortwave trough will top the ridge and dig
    southeast across the Great Lakes into the upper OH Valley by 21/00z.
    As this occurs weak midlevel height falls will be noted across
    eastern OH/PA as a surface cold front settles across western
    NY-northern OH-central IN by late afternoon.

    Early this morning, boundary-layer moisture is quite dry across much
    of the OH Valley with only upper 30s/lower 40s surface dew points
    observed. Deepening westerly flow suggests low-level moisture across
    southeast MO/northern AR will advect toward the upper OH Valley,
    possibly arriving prior to the frontal passage. Even so, dew points
    within this source region are only in the mid 40s to lower 50s.
    Forecast soundings for mid afternoon suggest modest boundary-layer
    heating such that 0-3km lapse rates should be on the order of 7 C/km
    with MUCAPE around 500-700 J/kg. Current thinking is scattered
    convection will develop along/ahead of the cold front by late
    afternoon, then spread southeast before weakening with loss of
    daytime heating. Strong deep-layer shear favors organized updrafts
    and the greatest risk should be gusty winds with marginally severe
    hail.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the Upper Ohio Valley, mainly late this afternoon into the evening.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley into the Central Appalachians...
    A prominent mid/upper-level high will remain centered over AZ and
    northwest Mexico today, with upper troughing over FL and the western
    Atlantic forecast to continue moving eastward. In between these
    features, a low-amplitude, mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to
    advance southeastward from Ontario and the Great Lakes to the upper
    OH Valley and Mid-Atlantic by this evening. Strong northwesterly mid/upper-level flow associated with this feature will support 40-50
    kt of deep-layer shear and the conditional potential for updraft
    organization with any thunderstorms that can develop. However,
    low-level moisture will likely remain quite limited across the upper
    OH Valley, with surface dewpoints currently in the 30s only modestly
    increasing by late afternoon into the mid 40s to perhaps low 50s as
    modest low-level warm/moist advection of a partially modified Gulf
    airmass spreads northeastward from the lower/mid MS Valley.

    Even with continued concerns about the modest thermodynamic
    environment (MUCAPE generally less than 750 J/kg), there still
    appears to be some chance for strong thunderstorm development late
    this afternoon into the evening across parts of the upper OH Valley
    into the central Appalachians along/ahead of a surface cold front.
    Isolated hail and damaging winds may occur with the stronger cells
    that can develop and be sustained, although confidence in the
    overall coverage of strong to severe convection remains low. The
    loss of daytime heating and even more limited low-level moisture
    with eastward extent into the central Appalachians should
    spatially/temporally confine the already marginal severe threat.

    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the Upper Ohio Valley and central Appalachians, mainly late this
    afternoon into the evening.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley into the Central Appalachians...
    Midday water-vapor imagery indicates a mid-level shortwave trough
    over Lower Michigan as a belt of strong west-northwesterly flow is
    maintained across the north-central U.S. eastward to the
    Mid-Atlantic and New England coastal vicinity. This disturbance is
    forecast to quickly move to the Delmarva/NJ by midnight.

    The northern extent of a moisture plume, and an airmass still
    undergoing modification over the Gulf Basin, will protrude northeast
    into the upper OH Valley by late afternoon. Forecast guidance shows
    surface dewpoints perhaps reaching near 50 deg F near the OH-WV-PA

    low-topped thunderstorms will probably develop along a
    southeastward-moving cold front during the evening. Elongated
    hodographs support updraft organization but the overall limited
    moisture will act to constrain otherwise greater storm coverage.
    Marginally severe hail and perhaps a couple of damaging gusts are
    the primary hazards with the stronger storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE UPPER OH

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to locally severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of
    the Upper Ohio Valley and central Appalachians this evening.

    ...20Z Update...
    No changes needed to the level 1-MRGL risk. Ongoing rain swath with
    very isolated thunder coverage should continue shifting
    southeastward from the northern/central Appalachians. Severe
    potential should be confined to its wake as the northern extent of a
    modest boundary-layer moisture plume reaches the Upper OH Valley by
    early evening. Despite latitudinal differences in guidance since 12Z
    with placement of redevelopment this evening, the southern envelope
    appears more probable given the degree of rain-cooled air to the
    northeast. Convection should struggle to readily deepen/intensify
    with such meager buoyancy. But hodograph elongation amid
    northwesterly speed shear within the cloud-bearing layer will favor
    a threat for isolated, marginal severe storms before convection
    wanes overnight.

    over Lower Michigan as a belt of strong west-northwesterly flow is
    maintained across the north-central U.S. eastward to the
    Mid-Atlantic and New England coastal vicinity. This disturbance is
    forecast to quickly move to the Delmarva/NJ by midnight.

    The northern extent of a moisture plume, and an airmass still
    undergoing modification over the Gulf Basin, will protrude northeast
    into the upper OH Valley by late afternoon. Forecast guidance shows
    surface dewpoints perhaps reaching near 50 deg F near the OH-WV-PA

    Severe thunderstorm potential appears low the rest of tonight.

    ...01z Update...

    Despite modest boundary-layer heating observed across the Ohio
    Valley this afternoon, boundary-layer moisture has struggled to
    return to this region. Surface dew points are only in the upper 40s
    to near 50F across OH/KY into western PA/WV. As a result, MUCAPE is
    pretty meager within only a few hundred J/kg noted across this
    region. 00z soundings from ILN/PIT support this with 240 J/kg at PIT
    and 130 J/kg at ILN. While deep-layer shear is strong, buoyancy will
    likely remain too meager to warrant robust updrafts this evening.
    Latest radar data depicts weak convection, a few flashes of
    lighting, just ahead of the cold front over central Ohio. This
    activity may continue to expand in areal coverage, but
    aforementioned negatives suggest severe probabilities are too low to
    warrant a risk this evening.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
    SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce hail to near 1
    inch diameter this afternoon and evening across the southern
    Appalachian region.

    ...Southern Appalachians...

    Very strong midlevel anticyclone remains anchored over the
    southwestern CONUS. This is forcing meaningful short waves across
    the northern Rockies/high Plains before digging southeast toward the
    eastern portions of the United States. Early this morning,
    water-vapor imagery depicts one of these features digging southeast
    across eastern SD/NE. By the start of the period this short wave
    will extend across IL/southeast MO/northeast AR, then it will
    advance into KY/TN by early afternoon.

    At the surface, a weak boundary that is draped across VA-northern KY
    will gradually lift north and become somewhat diffuse west of the
    higher terrain. South of this wind shift, modest boundary-layer
    heating will be noted across the Carolinas into the TN Valley such
    that 0-3km lapse rates should exceed 7 C/km by peak heating.
    Forecast soundings suggest convective temperatures will be
    approached, or breached by 21z as temperatures rise through the
    upper 70s to near 80F across southeast KY/eastern TN. While
    low-level convergence is expected to be somewhat weak, orographic
    influences will contribute to the potential for isolated
    thunderstorm development ahead of the short wave. Forecast midlevel
    flow is expected to be around 30-35kt across this region at 500mb,
    so deep-layer shear may prove adequate for a few supercells. If
    robust convection develops in this environment then hail on the
    order of 1 inch could be noted with the strongest storms. This
    activity will spread southeast into the western Carolinas as the
    short wave advances downstream. The primary concern for hail will be
    during the afternoon/evening hours.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce marginally
    severe hail and damaging winds this afternoon and evening across
    parts of the southern Appalachians/Southeast.

    ...Southern Appalachians/Southeast...
    With upper ridging persisting over the Southwest and northern Mexico
    today, a subtle mid-level shortwave trough will move southeastward
    from the mid MS Valley/Mid-South this morning towards the southern
    Appalachians vicinity by this evening. At the surface, a weak front
    draped generally east-west across the OH Valley should lift
    northward as a warm front through the afternoon, with modest
    low-level moisture advancing northward across parts of the lower MS
    Valley, TN Valley, and Southeast.

    Large-scale ascent associated with the shortwave trough should
    remain rather weak, but daytime heating and orographic circulations
    over the southern Appalachians may aid isolated thunderstorm
    development by mid to late afternoon (around 20-22Z). Most guidance,
    with the exception of the NAM, suggests that boundary-layer moisture
    will remain quite limited this afternoon, with surface dewpoints
    generally in the 40s to low 50s. Even so, weak instability/steepened
    low-level lapse rates may support occasional strong to damaging
    downdraft winds with any thunderstorms that can develop from eastern
    TN into parts of the Carolinas. Around 25-30 kt of effective bulk
    shear may also aid modest updraft organization and marginally severe
    hail with the strongest cores. The isolated severe threat should
    wane through the evening with the loss of daytime heating.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may produce marginally
    severe hail and damaging winds this afternoon and evening from the
    southern Appalachians into the Carolinas.

    ...Southern Appalachians into the Carolinas...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a somewhat subtle and broad shortwave
    trough progressing southeastward through the MS Valley, along the
    far northeast periphery of the upper ridging covering much of the
    Southwest and southern Plains. Limited low-level moisture precedes
    this wave, with recent surface analysis sampling dewpoints ranging
    from the upper 50s across much of AL to the mid 40s across much of
    the Carolinas. Modest low-level moisture advection is anticipated
    today ahead of this wave. However, this advection will be countered
    by diurnal mixing, and the general expectation is for dewpoints to
    be in the upper 40s/low 50s from eastern TN into the Carolinas as
    the wave moves in the area this afternoon. Even with this limited
    low-level moisture, cool mid-level temperatures and associated steep
    mid-level lapse rates will support weak buoyancy and the potential
    for isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and
    early evening.

    Large-scale ascent will be modest, supporting an initially more
    cellular, loosely organized storm mode. This region will be on the
    southern periphery of the stronger mid-level flow, likely resulting
    in sufficient shear for organization within any deeper, more
    persistent updrafts. As such, updrafts are expected to gradually
    intensify as they move into the western and central Carolinas.
    Marginally severe hail is possible with the strongest cores. A trend
    towards a more linear/line segment mode is expected with time, and
    persistent steep low-level lapse rates may support occasional strong
    to damaging downdraft winds as well. The onset of nocturnal
    boundary-layer stabilization should result in a decreasing severe
    threat as the storms move into the coastal Carolinas.

    Showers and thunderstorms associated with a subtle mid-level trough

    However, ongoing convection has struggled to maintain robust
    updrafts within this environment. Given weak forcing for ascent,
    increasing convective inhibition, and decreasing instability this
    evening, any severe wind or hail potential should remain less than
    5% coverage.

    Thunderstorms should dissipate later this evening into the early
    morning.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OHIO
    VALLEY INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging
    wind gusts, and a conditional tornado threat are expected this
    afternoon and evening across parts of the Ohio Valley into the
    northern Mid Atlantic region.

    ... Overview ...

    A weak shortwave trough will gradually amplify today as fast
    west-northwesterly flow translates across the Great Lakes into the
    Northeast. At the surface, a cold front will push southward through
    the Ohio Valley, with a series of weak frontal waves moving eastward
    into the Mid-Atlantic.

    ... Ohio Valley into parts of the Mid-Atlantic ...

    Favorable deep-layer shear will be in place across the area as
    relatively steep midlevel lapse rates advect into the region,
    originating within an unseasonably hot and well-mixed airmass across
    the Southwest and central US. The key uncertainty regarding severe
    potential will be how aggressively moisture returns. Strong
    antecedent heating and mixing upstream may limit moistening across
    the Ohio Valley and northern Mid-Atlantic, but relatively cool
    midlevel temperatures should still support moderate buoyancy.

    Storms are expected to initiate along and ahead of the surface front
    across eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania, where modest warm advection
    and a weakening cap favor development. Moderate instability combined
    with the favorable wind profile will support a supercell threat.
    Large hail -- potentially greater than golf balls -- will be
    possible with any sustained supercell. Damaging winds are also
    possible, particularly where surface heating is maximized and steep
    low-level lapse rates can develop. With time, the surging cold front
    should undercut thunderstorms, limiting the potential for a more
    organized, widespread damaging wind event. The low-level wind field
    will support some tornado potential before thunderstorms are
    undercut, with the tornado threat tied closely to how aggressively
    the boundary layer moisture returns.

    An additional round of convection is expected to develop during the
    late afternoon into the overnight hours as the front surges south-southeastward. This activity is likely to be post-frontal and
    elevated in nature, but given strong cloud-layer shear and steep
    mid-level lapse rates, severe hail will still be possible with these
    later storms.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms appear likely this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. Large
    to very large hail and damaging winds should be the main threats,
    but a tornado or two may also occur.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic...
    Gradual amplification of mid/upper-level troughing will occur today
    as a shortwave trough moves quickly eastward across the northern
    Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes through the period. A belt of
    enhanced mid/upper-level west-southwesterly flow will overspread
    much of the OH Valley and northern Mid-Atlantic today, while
    modest/shallow low-level moisture streams northward across these
    regions ahead of a surface cold front. This front is expected to sag
    slowly south-southeastward this afternoon and evening across the OH
    Valley into PA, and will likely serve as a focus for strong to
    severe convection later today.

    The NAM remains on the aggressive side of short-term guidance with
    the degree of low-level moisture present ahead of the front by mid
    afternoon, with consensus of most other guidance suggesting that the
    boundary layer will become well mixed with robust daytime heating
    (surface dewpoints generally in the mid 50s). Even so, cool
    mid-level temperatures and steepened lapse rates aloft will
    contribute to the development of weak to moderate instability
    (MLCAPE around 500-1500 J/kg in a narrow zone along/ahead of the
    cold front). Favorable deep-layer shear (40-50+ kt) will foster
    updraft organization, including the potential for supercells.

    Current expectations are for robust thunderstorms to develop by
    19-22Z across eastern OH into western/central PA near the front, as
    MLCIN should become minimal with northeastward extent across the
    upper OH Valley by this time frame. This initially discrete
    convection should quickly acquire supercell characteristics, and
    large to very large hail (up to 1.5-2.5 inches in diameter) appears
    to be the main threat given relatively long/straight hodographs at
    mid/upper levels and the presence of steepened mid-level lapse
    rates. This activity may tend to grow upscale as it moves
    east-southeastward across PA through the evening, with an increasing
    threat for scattered severe/damaging winds where low-level lapse
    rates can become steepened with daytime heating.

    Additional thunderstorms should eventually develop this evening
    farther to the southwest across much of the OH Valley as the front
    continues shifting south-southeastward. Much of this convection may
    tend to become elevated along/north of the undercutting cold front.
    But, it should still pose a threat for large hail, as moderate
    MUCAPE and strong deep-layer shear will favor supercell structures
    initially. The Marginal and Slight Risks have been adjusted/shifted
    northward a little to account for where robust convection will
    likely develop this afternoon/evening. The tornado potential today
    remains uncertain, as expectations for a well-mixed boundary layer
    across the warm sector this afternoon will likely promote large
    surface temperature-dewpoint spreads and high LCLs. Still, a tornado
    or two appears possible along/ahead of the front, assuming
    convection can remain surface based.

    to very large hail and damaging winds should be the main threats,
    but a tornado or two may also occur.

    ...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic...
    Early-morning soundings reveal a plume of steep mid-level lapse
    rates (i.e. greater than 8 deg C per km from 700 to 500 mb)
    extending from the southern Plains northeastward into the Upper OH
    Valley. This plume of steeper lapse rates is largely oriented along
    and west of a cold front that extends from a low in south-central KS
    to another low in western NY. The airmass preceding this front is
    seasonally warm and moist, with temperatures in the 70s and
    dewpoints in the 50s across much of the OH Valley. The expectation
    is for continued airmass modification today as moisture advects
    northeastward. However, this moistening will be offset by strong
    mixing, with dewpoints likely ranging from the upper 50s across the
    Lower OH Valley into the low 50s across western/central PA. This
    low-level moisture, combined with temperatures in the upper 70s/low
    80s, should result in an erosion of surface-based convective
    inhibition ahead of the front from eastern OH through central PA.
    Additionally, given the steep mid-level lapse rates in place, weak
    instability (MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg) is expected to develop
    ahead of the front.

    Current expectations are for robust thunderstorms to develop by
    19-21Z from eastern OH into western/central PA along and just ahead
    the front, forced by low-level convergence along the front and in
    the vicinity of a weak surface low moving across the region.
    An initially discrete mode is anticipated, with strong deep-layer
    shear favoring the development of supercells. Long/straight
    hodographs and steep mid-level lapse rates suggest that large to
    very large hail (up to 1.5-2.5 inches in diameter) is the main
    threat with these supercells. High LCLs and steep low-level lapse
    rates also support the potential for strong downbursts as well as
    trend towards upscale growth and a more linear mode as it moves east-southeastward across PA through the evening. Primary severe
    threat should transition from hail to damaging gusts throughout the
    evening. Given the high LCLs and limited low-level moisture, the
    tornado risk appears low, although not zero given the supercell mode anticipated.

    Farther west across the low to mid OH Valley, thunderstorm
    initiation should occur a bit later (i.e. closer to 00Z) as modest
    ascent attendant to a low-amplitude shortwave trough augments
    low-level convergence along the front. Much of this convection may
    tend to become elevated along/north of the undercutting cold front.
    Even so, steep mid-level lapse rates and strong shear will support a
    continued risk for large hail. Some isolated very large hail is
    possible with the initially more cellular development across
    southern IL, central IN, and west-central OH. A trend towards more
    linear structures is expected with time, and warm/dry low to
    mid-levels could still support some strong gusts despite the
    elevated storm structures.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
    EASTERN OHIO...THE WEST VIRGINIA PANHANDLE...AND PARTS OF
    WESTERN/CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms appear likely this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic,
    particularly from far eastern Ohio into central Pennsylvania. Large
    to very large hail and damaging winds should be the main threats,
    but a tornado or two may also occur.

    ...20z Update - Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic...

    Overall the previous forecast remains on track. Only minor
    adjustments were made to the southern extent of the level 2 of 5
    (Slight) risk area in KY. This adjustment was made based on latest
    trends in timing/intensity derived from CAMs and RAP forecast
    soundings across the southwest extent of the severe risk area.

    While limited low-level moisture is expected to temper instability
    across the region, the 18z RAOB from PIT showed the presence of very
    steep mid and low-level lapse rates amid strong unidirectional
    vertical wind profiles. This environment should support scattered
    damaging gusts, and large to very large hail from any initially
    discrete supercell structures. For more details regarding short term
    severe potential, reference MCD 284 and Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    72.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms should continue this evening across
    parts of the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. Large to very large
    hail should be the main threat, although an isolated strong wind
    gust remains possible.

    ... 01Z Update ...

    Showers and thunderstorms continue across the Ohio Valley into the
    northern Mid-Atlantic. These storms are being aided by increasing
    large-scale ascent associated with a gradually amplifying midlevel
    trough and vertical circulations associated with a
    south-southeastward moving cold front. The anafrontal nature of the
    cold front is supporting thunderstorm development/intensification on
    the cold side of the boundary, where surface temperatures quickly
    fall into the 40Fs.

    Most unstable CAPE between 500-1500 J/kg, steep midlevel lapse rates
    ranging from 6 C/km across Pennsylvania to 8.5 C/km across southern
    Indiana, and strong cloud-layer shear will support a continued hail
    threat into the evening hours. The overall wind potential has
    diminished across most of the area as low-levels stabilize. However,
    given increasing storm coverage an isolated strong-to-severe wind
    report may still be possible. The most likely area for this is
    across far southeast Illinois into southwest Indiana where better
    midlevel lapse rates and greatest storm coverage coincide.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible today from eastern Georgia
    northward into extreme southeast Virginia.

    ... Overview ...

    A western ridge will support northwest midlevel flow across the
    eastern US on Monday. Within that flow, a broad shortwave trough
    will move through the Northeast out into the Atlantic Ocean. At the
    surface, a weak low off the Mid-Atlantic Coast will quickly move east-northeast, dragging a cold front south along the East Coast.
    The cold front will be draped across the northern Florida Peninsula
    Tuesday morning.

    ... Eastern Georgia northward to extreme Southeast Virginia ...

    Isolated thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon along the
    southward moving cold front. Thunderstorm coverage is expected to
    remain lean as veered low-level flow ahead of the front acts to
    limit convergence along the front. The airmass ahead of the front
    will become weakly unstable during the afternoon, with the degree of instability strongly dependent upon the quality of boundary layer
    moisture. However, even if boundary layer moisture is greater than
    00Z guidance indicates, generally neutral height tendency, poor
    midlevel lapse rates, and weak deep-layer shear will further hinder
    sustained robust thunderstorm updrafts. As such, organized severe
    thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible today from southeast Georgia to
    the coastal Carolinas. Locally strong thunderstorms may occur across
    parts of coastal/eastern North Carolina this afternoon, but greater
    severe potential should tend to remain offshore.

    ...Coastal/Eastern North Carolina...
    Mid/upper-level troughing will progress eastward today across the
    Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The southern portion of this trough and
    related modest large-scale ascent will overspread parts of the
    coastal Southeast states by this afternoon. Isolated convection
    appears possible along/south of an advancing cold front from
    southeast GA to the coastal Carolinas. A stronger thunderstorm or
    two may occur across coastal/eastern NC around 19-22Z, as somewhat
    greater instability, low-level convergence along the front, and
    modest ascent ahead of the upper trough should exist across this
    area. While 30-40 kt of deep-layer shear will conditionally support
    organized updrafts, current indications are that more robust
    thunderstorm development should tend to remain just offshore the NC
    Coast. Have therefore refrained from including low hail/wind
    probabilities across this area, but trends will be monitored.

    Surface high pressure will remain entrenched over the eastern CONUS

    mean upper troughing across the eastern states remaining displaced
    to the north of FL. Even so, isolated thunderstorms may develop this
    afternoon across parts of north/central FL, with some preference for
    initiation along the Atlantic Coast sea breeze. Weak low/mid-level
    flow and related modest deep-layer shear are expected to limit the
    threat for organized severe convection. Isolated thunderstorms may
    also occur late tonight into early Wednesday morning across parts of
    coastal WA as strong forcing and cool temperatures aloft associated
    with a mid/upper-level jet overspread this region.

    through this evening and late tonight respectively. Weak buoyancy
    will preclude a severe risk. See the previous discussion for more
    info.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1043 AM CDT Tue Mar 24 2026/

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad high pressure will dominate the weather over the
    central/eastern US today, with a cold front sagging southward across
    the FL peninsula. Strong daytime heating and convergence along the
    front and the east-coast sea-breeze will aid in the development of
    isolated afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Cool temperatures aloft
    could result in a strong storm or two capable of small hail or gusty
    winds. But the overall threat of severe storms appears low.

    A strong upper trough and associated mid-level speed max will begin
    affecting the Pacific Northwest coast late tonight, with some risk
    of lightning flashes over the Olympic peninsula.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms may persist for few more hours this evening
    across parts of central Florida and late tonight over portions of
    coastal Washington, but organized severe thunderstorms are not
    expected.

    ...Discussion...
    A few storms remain this evening along and slightly north of the
    cold front in central Florida. Weak to moderate instability remains
    across this region and could support these storms for a few more
    hours. However, as the boundary layer continues to cool, expect the
    storms to weaken over land.

    Some lightning is possible late tonight near the Washington coast as
    cooling temperatures aloft result in weak instability over the
    relatively warm waters off the Washington coast.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected through tonight.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level ridge centered across the Rockies will become less
    amplified through the period as a strong mid-level jet moves from
    the northern Rockies to the northern Plains. A surface low will
    emerge across the northern Plains by this evening. Strengthening
    southerly flow ahead of this surface low will moisten regions from
    the southern Plains to the Ohio Valley.

    ...Ohio Valley...
    A weak mid-level shortwave trough (evident at both 850mb and 500mb)
    will move through the Ohio Valley tonight. As isentropic ascent
    strengthens ahead of this trough, thunderstorms are expected.
    Instability will remain quite weak (<500 J/kg) and therefore, no
    severe weather threat is anticipated, despite strong deep-layer
    shear.

    ...Florida....
    Thunderstorms are expected across the central Florida peninsula
    today, particularly along the sea breeze on the west side of the
    peninsula. Relatively steep mid-level lapse rates and cool temps
    could support some stronger storms, especially given the well-mixed
    boundary layer across the region. However, weak effective shear
    (mostly 20 knots or less) should limit the overall severe weather
    threat.

    Elsewhere, thunderstorms are possible across northeast Colorado,
    southeast Wyoming, and western Nebraska, parts of the northern
    Plains, and western Washington. However, these storms should remain
    isolated and pose minimal severe weather threat.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Organized severe thunderstorms appear unlikely through tonight.

    ...Florida...
    Even with nebulous/weak ascent aloft, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms should develop this afternoon across parts of the FL
    Peninsula along and south of a front. Moderate instability will
    develop across parts of central FL with diurnal heating of a moist
    low-level airmass, and occasional gusty winds and small hail could
    occur with the stronger cores given the presence of rather cool
    mid-level temperatures (around -12 to -14C at 500 mb). However, weak low/mid-level flow and modest deep-layer shear should generally
    limit the potential for organized severe thunderstorms.

    ...Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    Low-level moisture will continue to gradually stream northward
    across parts of the southern Plains and lower/mid MS Valley into the
    Midwest/OH Valley through tonight. Some strengthening of a
    west-southwesterly low-level jet is forecast this evening into early
    Thursday morning across MO into IL/IN. Most guidance, with the
    exception of the NAM (which is probably overdone with its depiction
    of low-level moistening and related instability), suggests that
    MUCAPE will struggle to exceed 500-750 J/kg. Even with strong
    cloud-layer shear, this limited instability should temper the
    overall severe hail threat with any elevated convection that may
    develop this evening/overnight across IL/IN. Small hail appears
    possible, though.

    ...Northern Rockies into the Northern/Central Plains...
    High-based showers and isolated thunderstorms may occur this
    afternoon across parts of the northern Rockies and adjacent
    northern/central Plains as an upper trough moves inland across the
    Pacific Northwest and strong mid-level flow/large-scale ascent
    overspreads these regions. Low-level moisture will be very limited
    and MUCAPE is expected to remain meager (no more than 100-300 J/kg).
    Even so, some lightning flashes may occur with this convection as it
    spreads generally eastward through the afternoon and evening.

    ...Pacific Northwest...
    Isolated, low-topped convection appears possible today mainly across
    parts of WA as a mid/upper-level trough moves inland across the
    Pacific Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft and strong ascent
    associated with a 100+ kt mid-level jet may support occasional
    lightning flashes with this activity even though instability will
    remain quite weak.

    sufficient for a strong storm or two capable of hail or gusty wind.
    The overall threat appears too low to warrant severe probabilities
    at this time.

    ...IL/IN...
    Visible satellite imagery shows a zone of weak low-level warm
    advection over IA, spreading eastward into IL. Several model
    solutions suggest the risk of some lightning activity this afternoon
    in this region, although it appears to be rooted in the mid-levels

    Stubborn upper ridge is holding firm across the southwestern
    US/southern Rockies early this evening. As a result, stronger flow
    is forced across the northern tier of states along with most
    meaningful short-wave troughs. Midlevel height field is being
    suppressed a bit across the northern Rockies/high Plains and a few thunderstorms have developed across eastern MT where lapse rates are
    steep, but MUCAPE is very weak. This activity should become even
    more isolated with loss of daytime heating.

    Warm advection is expected to contribute to weak elevated convection
    across portions of the Midwest tonight as profiles gradually moisten
    in the 2-3km layer due to a modestly strong but veered LLJ. Forecast
    soundings suggest any hail that develops with this elevated activity
    should remain below severe levels.

    Isolated convection that is currently noted across portions of the
    central FL Peninsula should continue to weaken over the next few
    hours as the boundary layer cools. Lighting threat should focus
    offshore by mid evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Very
    large hail, a few tornadoes, and severe wind gusts will be possible.

    ...Mid-Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley...

    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts a weak short-wave trough
    topping the dominant southwestern anticyclone over southern WY.
    Latest lightning data supports this with isolated thunderstorms
    currently noted from southern WY into the NE Panhandle. 00z model
    guidance suggests this feature will advance into the Mid-MO Valley
    by 18z, then progress into the Mid-MS Valley by 27/00z. As this
    short wave advances east, surface ridging will build south across
    the Plains and force a pronounced cold front across much of IA by
    early afternoon with the sharp boundary settling south across
    northern IL as a weak surface wave tracks toward southern Lower MI.

    Deep westerly flow should allow surface temperatures to warm quickly
    into the lower-mid 80s south of the front over IL/western IN. Even
    so, convective temperatures may struggle to be breached until late
    afternoon. Current thinking is upper 50s to near 60 F dew points
    should return to this region prior to frontal passage, thus modest
    MLCAPE is expected to develop. Forecast soundings suggest weak
    capping may hold across the warm sector so it's not entirely clear
    how much activity will develop well ahead of the front. However,
    strong frontal forcing will easily encourage thunderstorm
    development and convection will evolve within a strongly sheared
    environment. Profiles favor organized rotating updrafts and
    supercells are expected, especially early in the convective cycle.
    Given the strength of the front there is an expectation for storm
    mergers and line segments to evolve. Very large hail is possible,
    especially with early supercell development. As a frontal MCS
    evolves, damaging winds are expected to be more common with the LLJ strengthening into the evening hours across the OH Valley. Some
    tornado threat also exists with storms that are not undercut by the
    surging cold front, both with supercells and within the extensive
    frontal squall line. This activity will spread toward the Ohio River
    where gradual weakening is expected during the late-night hours.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Large to very
    large hail, a few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds all appear
    likely.

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley into the Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    Upper ridging will remain suppressed over the Southwest and southern
    Plains today as rather strong westerly mid/upper-level jets
    overspread the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes. A weak mid-level shortwave
    trough that has encouraged occasional lighting flashes with
    convection across the NE Panhandle earlier this morning will
    approach the mid MS Valley/Midwest by late this afternoon. A cold
    front is forecast to move southward through the day across
    IL/IN/southern Lower MI/OH as a weak surface reflection develops
    eastward into central PA through this evening. A partially
    modified/shallow Gulf airmass will stream northward ahead of this
    front, with surface dewpoints generally expected to remain in the
    mid 50s to no more than low 60s.

    Current expectations are for thunderstorms to quickly develop along
    the length of the front from central IL eastward into IN, southern
    Lower MI, and northern OH by 19-22Z as diurnal heating erodes
    lingering convective inhibition. Even though low-level moisture
    should remain fairly shallow/limited ahead of the front, a narrow
    corridor of 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE (locally stronger possible) is
    forecast to be present by mid to late afternoon given sufficient
    daytime heating and steepening mid-level lapse rates. Strong flow of
    50-60+ kt in the 700-500 mb layer and related deep-layer shear of
    similar magnitude will support organized updrafts and supercells
    with this initial development. Large to very large hail (2+ inches
    in diameter possible) should occur as long as a supercell mode can
    be maintained.

    A fairly quick transition to more linear structures appears likely
    given the frontal forcing, with an increasing threat for scattered
    to numerous severe/damaging winds as one or more clusters spreads east-southeastward across much of the OH Valley into western/central
    PA through the late afternoon and evening. Given the forecast
    strength of the low to mid-level flow, isolated gusts of 75+ mph may
    occur. There is a threat for a few tornadoes as well with both
    supercells and embedded mesocirculations within the linear clusters,
    although a well-mixed boundary layer should increase LCLs this
    afternoon as surface temperatures generally warm into the 70s and
    80s. Some guidance suggests a locally greater threat for tornadoes
    (perhaps a couple strong) may exist across parts of northern/central
    IN/OH with any supercells that can be maintained along/ahead of the
    cold front, as low-level shear should be greater across these areas
    in association with a 35-50 kt west-southwesterly low-level jet.
    However, confidence in this scenario occurring was too low to
    include higher tornado probabilities with this update.

    Farther west across the mid MS Valley (MO into eastern KS), there is
    lower confidence in warm sector thunderstorm development this
    afternoon and evening due to the presence of a stronger cap.
    However, elevated convection may occur along/behind the cold front
    this evening, with strong deep-layer shear and sufficient MUCAPE
    conditionally supporting supercells with mainly a threat for large
    hail. Have made only minor changes to the Slight Risk across this
    area based on latest guidance trends.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Large to very
    large hail, a few tornadoes, and severe/damaging winds all appear
    likely.

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley into the Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a flattened upper ridge
    centered over the south-central U.S. with strong westerly
    mid/upper-level flow across the Midwest/Great Lakes. A mid-level
    shortwave trough over the northern Rockies will move quickly
    east-southeast into the Upper Midwest and act to suppress mid-level
    heights across the Midwest/Great Lakes through tonight. Surface
    analysis this morning showed a weak low over eastern IA with a
    west-east oriented frontal zone extending east across the southern
    Great Lakes. If a weak surface reflection is maintained and
    develops east across the southern Great Lakes through this evening,
    it may notably influence severe potential within a focused corridor
    late this afternoon through this evening. The aforementioned front
    will gradually push south and serve as the primary impetus for storm development.

    Beneath a capping inversion, moistening will continue with surface
    dewpoints rising into the 56-62 deg F range from the mid MS Valley
    east into western PA. Upwards of 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE is likely by
    mid afternoon south of the front. A belt of strong, westerly 50-65
    kt 700-mb flow is forecast to move from IA and expand spatially
    across the warm sector through early evening. This increase in flow
    will act to elongate hodographs despite mainly veered southwesterly
    surface flow. Recent convection-allowing model guidance varies
    considerably on the depiction of cellular versus mostly linear
    clusters evolving in the first few hours of the convective life
    cycle. Time-lagged HRRR would imply a more spatially and
    numerically extensive supercell hail and tornado risk than most of
    the 12z HREF HRW members showing less risk of these hazards. The
    tornado risk could focus with potential supercells near a weak low
    and where surface flow would locally back to southerly. However,
    confidence is muted regarding this specific scenario.

    Regardless, current expectations are for thunderstorms to quickly
    develop along the length of the front from central IL eastward into
    IN, southern Lower MI, and northern OH by 19-22Z as diurnal heating
    erodes lingering convective inhibition. A mix of supercells and
    organized linear clusters will evolve with large to very large hail
    possible. A fairly quick transition to more linear structures
    appears likely given the frontal forcing, with an increasing threat
    for scattered to numerous severe/damaging winds as one or more
    clusters spreads east-southeastward across much of the OH Valley
    into western/central PA through the late afternoon and evening.
    Given the forecast strength of the low to mid-level flow, isolated
    gusts of 75+ mph may occur. There is a threat for a few tornadoes
    as well with both supercells and embedded mesocirculations within
    the linear clusters.

    Farther west across the mid MS Valley (MO into eastern KS), there is
    lower confidence in warm sector thunderstorm development this
    afternoon and evening due to the presence of a stronger cap.
    However, elevated convection may occur along/behind the cold front
    this evening, with strong deep-layer shear and sufficient MUCAPE
    conditionally supporting supercells with mainly a threat for large
    hail.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    ILLINOIS EASTWARD INTO INDIANA...OHIO...AND EXTREME WESTERN
    PENNSYLVANIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected late this afternoon and
    evening across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Large to very
    large hail, a few tornadoes, and damaging winds will all be
    possible.

    ...From northern MO across IL, IN, OH and into western PA...
    The air mass continues to heat and destabilize this afternoon ahead
    of a cold front, which extends from southern Lower MI westward
    toward the MO/IA border at 20Z. The air mass remains capped for
    surface-based parcels, but clouds will continue to develop along the
    boundary with eventual severe storm development along and behind
    much of the front. Stronger heating / larger temp-dew spreads
    suggest a lesser tornado risk for western areas, while farther east
    conditions appear a bit more favorable with more low-level SRH /
    with lake breeze effects. GPS water vapor sensors also show higher
    values of PWAT over southern IN and KY which will lift northeastward
    across IN/OH/PA later today.

    In all areas, steep lapse rates aloft and strong deep-layer shear
    beneath northwest flow aloft will support supercells producing
    damaging hail. This may occur in both elevated cells north of the
    undercutting front, and ahead of it.

    For more information see mesoscale discussion #0291.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1108 AM CDT Thu Mar 26 2026/

    ...Mid Mississippi Valley into the Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a flattened upper ridge
    centered over the south-central U.S. with strong westerly
    mid/upper-level flow across the Midwest/Great Lakes. A mid-level
    shortwave trough over the northern Rockies will move quickly
    east-southeast into the Upper Midwest and act to suppress mid-level
    heights across the Midwest/Great Lakes through tonight. Surface
    analysis this morning showed a weak low over eastern IA with a
    west-east oriented frontal zone extending east across the southern
    Great Lakes. If a weak surface reflection is maintained and
    develops east across the southern Great Lakes through this evening,
    it may notably influence severe potential within a focused corridor
    late this afternoon through this evening. The aforementioned front
    will gradually push south and serve as the primary impetus for storm development.

    Beneath a capping inversion, moistening will continue with surface
    dewpoints rising into the 56-62 deg F range from the mid MS Valley
    east into western PA. Upwards of 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE is likely by
    mid afternoon south of the front. A belt of strong, westerly 50-65
    kt 700-mb flow is forecast to move from IA and expand spatially
    across the warm sector through early evening. This increase in flow
    will act to elongate hodographs despite mainly veered southwesterly
    surface flow. Recent convection-allowing model guidance varies
    considerably on the depiction of cellular versus mostly linear
    clusters evolving in the first few hours of the convective life
    cycle. Time-lagged HRRR would imply a more spatially and
    numerically extensive supercell hail and tornado risk than most of
    the 12z HREF HRW members showing less risk of these hazards. The
    tornado risk could focus with potential supercells near a weak low
    and where surface flow would locally back to southerly. However,
    confidence is muted regarding this specific scenario.

    Regardless, current expectations are for thunderstorms to quickly
    develop along the length of the front from central IL eastward into
    IN, southern Lower MI, and northern OH by 19-22Z as diurnal heating
    erodes lingering convective inhibition. A mix of supercells and
    organized linear clusters will evolve with large to very large hail
    possible. A fairly quick transition to more linear structures
    appears likely given the frontal forcing, with an increasing threat
    for scattered to numerous severe/damaging winds as one or more
    clusters spreads east-southeastward across much of the OH Valley
    into western/central PA through the late afternoon and evening.
    Given the forecast strength of the low to mid-level flow, isolated
    gusts of 75+ mph may occur. There is a threat for a few tornadoes
    as well with both supercells and embedded mesocirculations within
    the linear clusters.

    Farther west across the mid MS Valley (MO into eastern KS), there is
    lower confidence in warm sector thunderstorm development this
    afternoon and evening due to the presence of a stronger cap.
    However, elevated convection may occur along/behind the cold front
    this evening, with strong deep-layer shear and sufficient MUCAPE
    conditionally supporting supercells with mainly a threat for large
    hail.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected this evening across
    parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Large to very large hail, a
    few tornadoes, and damaging winds will all be possible.

    ...Midwest/Ohio Valley...
    The latest water vapor imagery shows west-northwesterly mid-level
    flow over the southern Great Lakes, Midwest and Ohio Valley, with a
    subtle shortwave trough evident within the flow over far northwest
    Illinois. At the surface, a cold front is located from central
    Illinois east-northeastward into north-central Ohio. Scattered
    strong to severe thunderstorms are ongoing near the front, extending
    northward into the cooler air about 150 statute miles. The best
    environment currently appears to be located from far eastern Indiana
    eastward to east of Columbus, Ohio, where RAP analysis shows a
    west-to-east axis of MLCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. RAP
    forecast soundings near this axis of instability have 0-6 km shear
    in the 50 to 60 knot range with 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7 C/km.
    Cells are currently discrete within this environment, which will
    continue to favor supercells with large hail. Hailstones greater
    than 2 inches in diameter appear likely with the more intense
    supercells. In addition, low-level lapse rates are also steep, which
    will support a wind-damage threat. A few gusts above 70 knots will
    be possible. Also, forecast soundings within this unstable airmass
    have 0-3 km storm-relative helicity in the 400 to 450 m2/s2 range,
    suggesting that a tornado threat will continue with the more intense supercells. The severe threat will likely be maximized within this
    corridor over the next few hours...see MCD 293. The severe threat
    should expand eastward across far eastern Ohio and into western
    Pennsylvania.

    Further west into parts of Indiana and Illinois, the strongest
    storms are currently located near and to the east of Indianapolis.
    Although the storms are not as strong westward into central and
    northern Illinois, convective intensity is expected to increase as
    the shortwave trough moves eastward across the state, along with the
    exit region of a mid-level jet. Scattered severe storms are expected
    to develop over the next couple of hours, and a cluster or line
    could become organized...see MCD 294. Isolated severe storms will
    also be possible further west into parts of Missouri and far eastern
    Kansas later this evening.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough will dig southeastward across the eastern U.S.
    today. At the surface, a cold front will advance southward into the
    southern Appalachians and Carolinas. Behind the front, isolated
    thunderstorm development with a potential for a few strong gusts,
    will be possible in weak instability this afternoon. Elsewhere
    across the continental U.S., thunderstorms are not expected today or
    tonight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are expected today from North Carolina and
    Virginia into the Ozark Plateau, but no severe threat is forecast.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Recent surface analysis places an extensive cold front from just off
    the northern Mid-Atlantic southwestward through the TN Valley and
    into west TX. This front is expected to continue surging southward/southeastward today as a large area of high pressure
    builds into the Plains. This progression will take the front off
    both the Carolina/Southeast Coast and the TX/Central Gulf Coast by
    early tomorrow morning, leaving only the FL Peninsula within the
    pre-frontal warm sector.

    The airmass preceding the front will be modestly moist, with
    dewpoints largely in the upper 50s/low 60s. When combined with
    modest daytime heating, this should be enough low/mid-level moisture
    to foster limited buoyancy across VA and the Carolinas, supporting
    the potential for thunderstorms as the front moves through. Some
    isolated surface-based development is possible along the front, but
    the progressive nature of the front will lead to undercutting and
    limited residence time in the warm sector. Mid-levels will not be
    particularly cold but should still be sufficient for limited
    elevated buoyancy behind the front. Consequently, additional
    thunderstorms will remain possible behind the front as large-scale
    ascent increases. NC will be on the southern edge of the stronger
    flow aloft, and deep-layer vertical shear will be strong enough to
    support rotating updrafts and a conditional severe risk. However,
    given only modest buoyancy and relatively warm thermodynamic
    profiles, most updrafts will likely be transient and shallow, not
    acquiring the necessary depth and persistence to organize. Best
    chance for a strong storm capable of damaging gusts is in the
    vicinity of GSO and RDU in northwest NC, where slightly improved
    thermodynamic are possible.

    Farther southwest, some deeper convective is possible well behind
    the front this afternoon as the subtle shortwave trough currently
    moving into OK moves through the Ozark Plateau amid modest elevated
    buoyancy. Resulting convection should be transient and shallow, but
    could still augment the strong low-level flow to produce damaging
    gusts. A few lightning flashes are possible with the deepest cores.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are expected today over parts of the
    Carolinas and southern Appalachians, but no severe threat is
    forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A belt of strong cyclonic mid-level flow will extend from the
    northern Plains through the OH Valley and into the Northeast through
    tonight. A mid-level anticyclone will remain centered over the
    Chihuahua-Texas border as heights gradually lower as troughing
    pivots slowly east across the East. The southern periphery of
    stronger westerly mid and high-level flow will glance NC later
    today.

    In the low levels, a cold front analyzed over the Cumberland Gap
    eastward to the Delmarva, will push southeast through the Carolinas
    by late tonight. Strong heating ahead of the boundary and dewpoints
    in the 55-60 deg F range will contribute to weak buoyancy and
    steepened low-level lapse rates by mid afternoon. Isolated to
    widely scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop near the
    front late this afternoon into the early evening. Forecast
    soundings show only weak surface to 2-km flow (at or below 10-15 kt)
    across the Carolina Piedmont. The weaker boundary layer flow and
    weak buoyancy (few hundred J/kg SBCAPE) will likely limit overall
    storm intensity. Although a strong gust or two is possible (35-50
    mph), the propensity for an appreciable wind-damage risk still
    appears sufficiently low at this time to preclude a categorical-risk
    highlight over the Carolina Piedmont.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon across the
    southern Florida Peninsula and Florida Keys, but no severe threat is
    forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning surface analysis shows an extensive area of high
    pressure covering much of the central and eastern CONUS, the only
    exception being across eastern MT where a weak lee low is in place.
    Another weak low exists over southern NV, along an inverted trough
    that extends from the central Gulf of California into central NV.

    A weak frontal boundary separates the dry and stable continental
    airmass associated with the high pressure from the more moist,
    tropical airmass over the Gulf and central/southern FL Peninsula.
    Strong heating and modest buoyancy will support showers and
    thunderstorms along and south of this boundary during the afternoon
    and evening, fostered by both convergence along the front and a westward-progressing sea breeze. Limited buoyancy and weak shear
    should preclude storm organization, keeping the severe risk
    isolated. Even so, relatively high LCLs and steep low-level lapse
    rates could still support strong downbursts. Thunderstorms are not
    expected elsewhere across the CONUS.

    convergence along the front and sea breeze boundary. Limited
    buoyancy and weak shear will likely preclude severe thunderstorms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible across parts of south and
    central Florida this evening, but no severe threat is forecast.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    West to northwest mid-level flow will continue across most of the
    U.S. this evening. At the surface, a cold front will move southward
    through central Florida. A moist airmass is present to the south of
    the front, where surface dewpoints are in the 60s F. Low-level
    convergence will be enough for isolated thunderstorm development
    this evening. However, instability will remain very weak, limiting
    any potential for a severe threat. Elsewhere across the continental
    U.S., conditions will be unfavorable for thunderstorms through
    tonight.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated non-severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and
    evening across parts of Arizona, far southern Louisiana and in south
    Florida.

    ...Synopsis...
    Surface ridging currently centered over the Mid-Atlantic and
    covering much of the eastern CONUS is forecast to shift
    northeastward into the western Atlantic today as mid-level flow
    trends more westerly and surface pressure lowers over the Plains.
    Strengthening pressure gradient between the Plains troughing and the
    western Atlantic ridge will support moderate southerly low-level
    flow and modest moisture advection across the central and southern
    Plains. By early tomorrow (Monday), mid 50s dewpoints will likely
    extend from south-central OK into the Mid-South, with 60s dewpoints
    extending from central TX through the Lower MS Valley.

    Despite this increasing low-level moisture, warm temperatures aloft
    and negligible large-scale ascent will preclude thunderstorm
    development. Only thunderstorm chances across the CONUS today will
    be across central/southern AZ, south FL, and a small part the
    southeast LA Coast. Across south FL a weakening front and associated
    low-level convergence will combine with warm and moist conditions to
    support isolated thunderstorms. A few thunderstorms are also
    possible over the southeast LA coast in the confluent low-level
    southeasterly flow rounding the base of the surface ridging.

    Predominantly dry thunderstorms are anticipated across
    central/southern AZ where strong heating and deep mixing will occur
    beneath modest mid-level moisture emanating from the eastern
    Pacific. Given the high LCLs and steep low-level lapse rates, strong
    downbursts are possible. However, limited updraft strength and
    persistence should temper the overall severe potential.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms with large hail, are expected across
    parts of the upper Mississippi River Valley late tonight into early
    Tuesday morning. Isolated strong to marginally severe storms could
    occur further east into parts of Lower Michigan early Tuesday
    morning.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes...
    Today and tonight at mid-levels in the Mississippi Valley,
    west-northwesterly flow will gradually transition to
    west-southwesterly, as a subtle shortwave ridge moves eastward into
    the Great Lakes. In response, low-level moisture advection will
    strengthen over the central U.S., as a 50 to 60 knot 850 mb jet
    develops across the central Plains. The northern edge of the
    low-level jet will be located in the upper Mississippi Valley by
    this evening. Strong lift associated with the jet will likely result
    in convective initiation during the mid to late evening from
    northeast Iowa into southern Wisconsin. RAP forecast soundings at
    06Z in the La Crosse vicinity have MUCAPE increasing into the 2000
    to 2500 J/kg range with effective shear forecast to be near 40
    knots. In addition, 700-500 mb lapse rates are forecast to approach
    8.5 C/km. This environment will likely support large hail with
    elevated supercells that develop in the late evening and early
    overnight period. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter will
    be possible.

    Further east into Lower Michigan, convective initiation is expected
    to occur by late in the period. Compared with areas to the west,
    MUCAPE and lapse rates in Lower Michigan are forecast to be weaker.
    For this reason, the hail threat there is expected to be more widely
    spaced and marginal.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms with large hail, are expected across
    parts of the middle and upper Mississippi River Valley tonight
    through early Tuesday morning. Isolated strong to marginally severe
    storms could occur further east into parts of Lower Michigan early
    Tuesday morning as well as over the Texas South Plains this
    afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning satellite imagery shows a relatively zonal pattern in
    places across the majority of the CONUS. The only exception is
    across the Gulf Coast, which is along the northern periphery of
    modest subtropical ridging. Recent surface analysis shows a broad
    area of low pressure across the central High Plains/central Plains
    with several embedded lows, including one over southwest SD, another
    over south-central NE, and another near the OK/KS/CO border
    intersection. Modest troughing extends between these features, while
    a stationary front extends from the southwest SD low
    east-northeastward across southern MN and central WI. At 11Z, mid
    50s dewpoints extended from south-central OK into the Mid-South,
    with 60s dewpoints farther so from central TX into the Lower MS
    Valley.

    Overall upper pattern is expected to remain predominantly zonal
    throughout the period as a low-amplitude shortwave trough moves
    along the US/Canada border, accompanied by a strengthening jet
    streak. Substantial low-level moisture advection is expected
    throughout the day from the southern Plains/Lower MS Valley into the
    Mid MS and OH Valleys and Lower MI. By early tomorrow morning, mid
    50s dewpoints will likely extend from southern WI across Lower MI
    and into the upper OH Valley, demarcating a developing warm front.

    Primary area of thunderstorm development anticipated today is in the
    vicinity of the developing warm front from the mid/upper MS Valley
    across the Lower Great Lakes into the Upper OH Valley and Northeast.
    Isolated thunderstorms are also possible with the moist and
    confluent environments of the FL Peninsula and the Lower MS Valley
    as well as along the dryline in the southern High Plains and
    seasonably moist airmass over the Southwest.

    ....Mid/Upper MS Valley into Lower MI and the Upper OH Valley...
    Significant low-level moisture advection is expected throughout the
    day into Mid MS Valley, although this advection will be offset
    somewhat by strong heating and deep boundary-layer mixing. General
    expectation is that upper 50s dewpoints will reach the IA/MO/central
    IL vicinity by 00Z, with mid 50s farther north into southern WI and
    southern Lower MI. Given negligible large-scale forcing and strong
    mixing, capping is expected prevail throughout the day and into the
    early evening. However, beginning around 22-00Z, increasing
    mid-level moisture coupled with continued low-level moisture
    advection and convergence near a weak surface low could result in
    convective initiation across central IA. The earliest development
    could be surface based with a trend towards more elevated storms
    with time and northeastward extent as warm-air advection increase
    during the evening. Steep lapse rates and moderate shear support the
    potential for supercells with any more sustained updrafts. Large to
    isolated very large hail is the primary severe risk. Even with the
    elevated storm character, the prevailing warm/dry conditions above
    the shallow return moisture could support strong downdrafts with
    strong surface gusts.

    Farther east, a few instances of small hail are possible from
    western PA into western NY with the thunderstorms expected during
    the evening and overnight.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Isolated thunderstorm development is possible along a dryline
    forecast to extend from a weak low in western KS southwestward into
    the TX Trans Pecos. Buoyancy will be weak and vertical shear modest
    so storm structures are not expected to be particularly robust or
    long lived. However, high cloud bases and steep low-level lapse
    rates could still support a few stronger gusts at the surface.

    A few severe thunderstorms with large hail, are expected across
    parts of the middle and upper Mississippi River Valley tonight
    through early Tuesday morning. Isolated strong to marginally severe
    storms could occur further east into parts of Lower Michigan early
    Tuesday morning, and over the Texas South Plains this afternoon and
    evening.

    ...IA to Lower MI...
    Fast zonal flow is present across the northern tier of states today,
    with minor perturbations embedded within the flow field affecting
    the upper MS Valley and Great Lakes region. A combination of
    daytime heating, low-level warm/moist advection, and increasing
    low-level convergence along a surface baroclinic zone will result in
    scattered thunderstorms after dark over IA. These storms will form
    in an environment of steep mid-level lapse rates and strong
    deep-layer shear. MLCAPE values around 1500 J/kg will promote
    strong updrafts with a few supercells possible. Large hail appears
    to be the main threat with these storms as they progress eastward
    into northern IL/southern WI and slowly weaken with diurnal cooling.


    Storms will persist through the night and spread across much of
    lower MI. Despite weak instability, a few CAM solutions maintain
    vigorous updrafts, supporting a low risk of hail and gusty winds
    overnight.

    ...TX Panhandle...
    Full sunshine and dewpoints in the 50s will yield a moderately
    unstable air mass along the dryline over the TX Panhandle this
    evening. Most CAM guidance show isolated thunderstorm development
    in this region - mainly in the 23-03z period. Forecast soundings
    suggest the low/mid troposphere is dry and will limit the number of
    updrafts that can survive. However, any storm that can persist will
    pose a risk of gusty winds or hail.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few severe thunderstorms with large hail, are expected across
    parts of the middle and upper Mississippi River Valley tonight
    through early Tuesday morning. Isolated strong to marginally severe
    storms could occur farther east into parts of Lower Michigan early
    Tuesday morning, and over the Texas South Plains this afternoon and
    evening.

    Little change was made to the outlook at 20Z. Storms are still
    expected to form near or after 00Z over IA as a weak midlevel wave
    moves out of NE, and theta-e advection around 850 mb increases on
    the nose of the nocturnal low-level jet. Hail and locally strong
    gusts will be possible.

    As the increasing moisture spreads farther north overnight, it will
    interact with the east-west oriented frontal zone from southern WI
    into Lower MI, with additional development expected. Areas of hail
    remain possible as lapse rates aloft will be steep. Moderate
    deep-layer mean wind speeds should also result in corridors of
    strong to damaging gusts as storms amass outflow.

    Uncertainty remains regarding coverage of storms overnight.
    Conditionally, strong westerly mean wind speeds and presence of dry
    air in the low-levels may favor damaging wind gusts, perhaps
    crossing Lake MI and into Lower MI overnight should a substantial
    cluster of storms remain intact.

    will be located from Iowa eastward into southern Wisconsin and
    northern Illinois, where lift will be maximized. Within this zone,
    isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this
    evening into the overnight period.

    On radar, isolated thunderstorms are already ongoing across
    east-central Iowa this evening. In the vicinity of this storm, RAP
    forecast soundings early this evening show a near surface inversion,
    with MUCAPE around 2000 J/kg, effective shear near 40 knots and
    700-500 mb lapse rates around 8 C/km. This will be favorable for a
    severe threat with cells that initiate later this evening. The
    storms will likely be elevated and could become supercells with
    potential for large hail. The greatest threat for large hail will be
    located along and just to the north of the strongest instability,
    from near Des Moines east-northeastward to the vicinity of Chicago
    and Milwaukee. Hailstones greater than 2 inches will be possible
    with the strongest of supercells. A marginal wind-damage threat may
    also develop as convective coverage increases from late this evening
    into the overnight period.

    Further east into Lower Michigan, scattered convective initiation is
    expected by early Tuesday morning. These storms could have an
    isolated threat for hail and severe wind gusts, but the threat is
    expected to be marginal and more localized due to weaker
    instability.

    ...Southern Plains...
    A shortwave trough is evident on water vapor imagery over
    west-central Kansas. Lift associated with this feature is
    contributing to convective development across the eastern Texas
    Panhandle this evening. These storms are located just to the west of
    an axis of moderate instability, where MLCAPE is in the 1500 to 2000
    J/kg range, according to the RAP. Forecast soundings near Childress
    have 0-6 km shear in the 35 to 40 knot range, with very steep low to
    mid-level lapse rates near 8.5 C/km. This should be favorable for a
    marginal wind-damage threat, with any threat expected to persist for
    a couple more hours.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDWEST EASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and isolated
    large hail are expected today into this evening across parts of the
    Great Lakes and Midwest. Isolated severe storms may also occur from
    the mid to upper Mississippi Valley southwestward into the southern
    and central Plains.

    ...Upper Midwest/Southern Great Lakes/Mid to Upper Mississippi
    Valley...
    An upper-level trough will move eastward into the Great Lakes today,
    as a more subtle shortwave trough moves through the Midwest. At the
    surface, a low will move into Lower Michigan as a trailing cold
    front advances southeastward across the mid to upper Mississippi
    Valley. Ahead of the front, a cluster of storms is expected to move
    eastward through southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois during the
    morning, reaching Lower Michigan by midday. To the south of this
    cluster of storms, surface heating with dewpoints of 55 to 60 F will
    contribute to a broad area of instability. An outflow boundary
    appears likely to move into northern Indiana and northern Ohio
    around midday, where scattered convective initiation should take
    place in the early afternoon. These storms are forecast to move
    eastward into the central Appalachians during the mid to late
    afternoon, with additional storms forming further west across
    northern Missouri and central Illinois. As cells gradually increase
    in coverage during the late afternoon and early evening, MCS
    development will be possible.

    The greatest chance for severe storms appears likely to occur this
    afternoon and evening from far northeast Illinois eastward into
    western New York and northern Pennsylvania. Along much of this
    east-to-west corridor, MLCAPE is forecast to increase into the 1000
    to 1500 J/kg range by late afternoon. Deep-layer shear will also
    increase across the Midwest as a 75 to 90 knot mid-level jet moves
    into the Great Lakes. Along the southern periphery of the jet, lift
    and shear will be sufficiently strong for organized storms.
    Supercells and short multicell line segments, associated with severe
    wind gusts and large hail, are expected from mid afternoon into the
    evening. Increasing cell coverage could result in a somewhat larger
    severe line segment, with damaging wind gusts as the primary threat.

    Further west into the lower Missouri Valley, isolated severe storms
    are expected to develop in the late afternoon and early evening.
    This area will be located further from the mid-level jet, which will
    make deep-layer shear and low-level flow a bit weaker. For this
    reason, the severe threat is expected to remain more localized.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    Southwesterly mid-level flow will remain in place over the southern
    and central Plains today. At the surface, a cold front will advance
    southward across the Texas Panhandle extending northeastward into
    southern and eastern Kansas. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints
    in the 55 to 60 F range will contribute to the development of
    moderate instability by afternoon, with MLCAPE rising into the 1500
    to 2000 J/kg range. As low-level convergence increases along and to
    the south of the front, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will
    form. RAP forecast soundings near the instability axis late this
    afternoon have large surface temperature-dewpoint depressions with
    very steep low to mid-level lapse rates. This will result in
    high-based storms that could be capable of producing isolated severe
    wind gusts and hail. The threat should persist into the evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MID
    MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN GREAT
    LAKES...AND ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND FAR NORTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and large
    hail are expected today from the Mid Mississippi Valley across the
    Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes. Isolated severe storms capable
    of large hail and damaging gusts are possible across western
    Oklahoma and far northwest Texas as well.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper pattern is forecast to trend away from its previously more
    zonal configuration towards more amplification today as the general
    pattern begins to become more active. Several shortwave troughs are
    expected across the CONUS today, combining with an expansive warm
    sector to support an extensive stretch of strong to severe
    thunderstorms from the southern High Plains into the Northeast.
    Thunderstorms are also possible within the moist and confluent flow
    from the Gulf Coast into the southern Appalachians and the
    anonymously moist airmass across the Southwest. Additionally,
    thunderstorms are possible during the second half of the period from
    northern CA through the Great Basin as shortwave trough moves
    quickly eastward across the region overnight.

    ...Mid/Upper MS Valley across the southern Great Lakes and OH Valley
    into the Northeast...
    Recent surface analysis places a low near the IA/WI border vicinity,
    with perhaps another weak low farther southwest across southwest IA.
    A warm front extends eastward from the IA/WI border surface low
    across southern WI and southern Lower MI. Showers and thunderstorms
    occurred overnight along and north of this boundary, with the
    primary remnants currently over southwestern ON towards western NY.
    Additional thunderstorm development is beginning to the northwest of
    the IA/WI border surface low as well as farther south within the
    warm sector across northern IL. This activity is likely supported by
    a combination of persistent warm-air advection and ascent linked to
    a subtle shortwave trough moving through IA. Most guidance suggests
    this activity, particularly the IL cluster, increases in coverage
    and intensity over the next several hours as it continues eastward
    across Lower MI and eventually into western PA/western NY. Some
    intensification of the convective remnants moving across southwest
    ON is possible as well. Robust deep-layer westerly flow amid at
    least modest buoyancy will support damaging gusts as the primary
    severe risk with these clusters. There is also enough low-level
    curvature to support a low-probability tornado risk, particularly
    along the southwest flanks of the IL and ON clusters where a more
    cell-in-line convective mode is possible. A line-embedded
    circulation could also occur if these clusters can become more
    organized.

    How these clusters evolve, in particular the strength of any
    outflow, will dictate the extent of airmass recovery in their wake.
    This is particularly true across the OH Valley where much of the
    guidance suggests another round of thunderstorms is possible along a
    cold front forecast to move across the region this evening. Current
    expectation is that the airmass will support strong to severe
    thunderstorms, especially from central IN into central IL where the
    influence of antecedent convection should be minimal. Steep lapse
    rates and moderate shear will support a hail risk with the initially
    more cellular development along the front. A trend towards a more
    linear mode is anticipated thereafter, with undercutting by the cold
    front likely as well.

    Lastly, elevated thunderstorms are expected overnight from northern
    MO into southern IA and central IL amid steep lapse rates and a
    strengthening low-level jet. Marginally severe hail is possible with
    this activity as well.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Recent surface analysis places a low over southwest KS, with a
    dryline extending southwestward from this low through southeast NM
    into Far West TX. This low is forecast to shift southeastward along
    the leading edge of a cold front pushing southward into the TX
    Panhandle and western OK, with its associated dryline gradually
    shifting eastward. Increasing low-level moisture and strong heating
    will help destabilize the airmass ahead of the front and surface
    low. Low-level convergence along the front/dryline, and particularly
    near the surface low, will support convective initiation. Vertical
    shear will be sufficient for storm organization and a few supercells
    are possible. Steep lapse rates and strong shear in the
    cloud-bearing layer suggest large hail is possible early in the
    convective cycle, while high LCLs suggest a trend toward strong
    downbursts thereafter.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and large
    hail are expected today from the Mid Mississippi Valley across the
    Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes. Isolated severe storms capable
    of large hail and damaging gusts are possible across western
    Oklahoma and far northwest Texas as well.

    ...IL/IN/MI/OH...
    Multiple clusters of thunderstorms are ongoing late this morning
    over northeast IL and northwest IN. These storms have a history of
    hail, and are moving into an air mass that is warming/destabilizing.
    Relatively steep mid-level lapse rates and strong westerly flow
    aloft will promote and increasing risk of organized storms capable
    of hail and damaging wind gusts through the afternoon. See WW #78
    and MCD #305 for further details. This activity is expected to
    persist into the evening, spreading across much of northern OH with
    a continued severe risk.

    ...Southern NY/Northern PA into New England...
    Latest surface analysis shows an outflow boundary extending across
    northern PA. The air mass north of the boundary is rather cool and
    stable, but is expected to recover quickly this afternoon with
    strong southwesterly low-level winds and daytime heating. Most CAM
    solutions suggest thunderstorm activity over southeast Ontario will
    intensify and affect parts of southern NY/northern PA with a risk of
    locally damaging wind gusts and hail. A tornado or two is also
    possible. Storms may spread into southern New England by evening
    with a continued marginal severe threat.

    ...TX Panhandle/Western OK...
    Full sunshine will result in strong heating and steep low-level
    lapse rates along the dryline over the eastern TX Panhandle and
    western OK this afternoon. A surface cold front will surge
    southward into this region, with at least isolated thunderstorm
    development expected near the triple-point by late afternoon. These
    storms will track eastward into western OK through the evening.
    Forecast soundings suggest a favorable environment for damaging
    winds and hail with these storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
    MIDWEST INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts and large
    hail are expected this evening from the Midwest into the central
    Appalachians. Isolated severe storms capable of large hail and
    damaging gusts are also possible across western Oklahoma and far
    northwest Texas.

    ...Midwest/Central Appalachians/Mid Mississippi Valley...
    Water vapor imagery shows a mid-level zonal flow pattern over the
    north-central and northeastern U.S., with a low-amplitude trough
    located in the western Great Lakes. Scattered to numerous
    thunderstorms are ongoing near the axis of a 40 to 55 knot low-level
    jet from northern Indiana northeastward into the central
    Appalachians. Within this corridor, RAP forecast soundings have
    SBCAPE mostly in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range, with 0-6 km shear of 35
    to 45 knots, and 0-3 km lapse rates near 7 C/km. This will be
    favorable for multicell line segments capable of producing severe
    wind gusts this evening. A few supercells with isolated large hail
    and a marginal tornado threat will also be possible. As cells
    continue to increase in coverage this evening, the development of a larger-scale multicell line segment may occur. If this happens, then
    the wind-damage threat could increase into the mid to late
    evening...see MCD 314.

    Further southwest into parts of the mid Mississippi Valley,
    scattered thunderstorms are developing near an axis of instability
    where SBCAPE is around 1000 J/kg, according to the RAP. This area is
    further away from the mid-level jet in the Great Lakes. For this
    reason, lift and deep-layer shear are somewhat weaker in the mid
    Mississippi Valley suggesting that any severe threat will remain
    marginal this evening.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    A mid-level shortwave trough is evident on water vapor imagery over
    western Kansas and western Oklahoma. At the surface, a cold front is
    located from southeast Kansas extending southwestward into west
    Texas. A broken line of strong thunderstorms is ongoing near the
    front from southwest Oklahoma into northwest Texas. The nearest
    forecast sounding is at Childress, which has MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg,
    0-6 km shear around 40 knots and a 850-500 mb lapse rate near 8
    C/km. This should be favorable for an isolated large hail and
    wind-damage threat. The threat is expected to persist for a couple
    more hours.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts, large hail and a few
    tornadoes are likely across the southern and central Plains this
    afternoon and evening. Isolated strong to severe storms are also
    possible from parts of the Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and
    Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move quickly eastward across the
    Desert Southwest today and into the southern Rockies. At the
    surface, a moist airmass will be in place across the southern
    Plains. A quasi-stationary front will be located from near Childress northeastward into southeast Kansas, with a dryline extending
    southward into west-central Texas. To the southeast of the front,
    surface dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s F will contribute to
    moderate instability by afternoon, with MLCAPE increasing into the
    2000 to 3000 J/kg range. Convective initiation will take place in
    the late afternoon along the front and dryline, with a broken line
    of strong to severe storms moving eastward across the southern and
    central Plains.

    In addition to a favorable thermodynamic environment, deep-layer
    shear will gradually improve over the southern Plains as the
    mid-level trough approaches. RAP forecast soundings in western
    Oklahoma increase 0-6 km shear from about 25 knots at 21Z to near 40
    knots at 00Z, suggesting that environment will support supercell
    development in the late afternoon. Lapse rates in the 7 to 7.5 C/km
    range will be favorable for large hail with supercells, and
    hailstones greater than 2 inches will be possible. In addition, a
    tornado threat is expected to develop as low-level shear ramps up
    during the late afternoon and early evening. Any supercell that can
    form far enough away from other storms to maintain a relative long
    life cycle will be favored to produce tornadoes. If any supercell
    can become intense, then a strong tornado will be possible.
    Otherwise, cells are forecast to congeal into a line and move
    eastward across northwest Texas, west-central Oklahoma, eastern
    Kansas and western Missouri during the evening. The stronger storms
    within this line should be associated with severe wind gusts and
    isolated large hail. A QLCS tornado threat will also be likely,
    especially within the more intense bowing line segments.

    Further south into southwest Texas, isolated supercells with large
    hail are expected to develop to the east of a dryline. This threat
    should persist into the early to mid evening. A few strong wind
    gusts will also be possible.

    ...Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic...
    West-southwesterly mid-level flow will be in place over much of the
    eastern U.S. today. At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will be
    located in the Ohio Valley from southern Indiana east-northeastward
    into far southern Pennsylvania. Surface dewpoints in the upper 50s
    and lower 60s F to the south of the front will contribute to weak
    instability by early afternoon. Increasing low-level convergence
    near the front and warming surface temperatures will result in
    scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon. Several short line
    segments are expected to form and move eastward across the Ohio
    Valley into the central Appalachians. 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 35
    knot range and steep low-level lapse rates will support isolated
    severe storms with potential for damaging wind gusts. A low-end
    tornado threat will also be possible.

    of a surface low over far southwest MO. Surface analysis shows a
    cold front extending from this low northeastward across the OH
    Valley and Northeast to another low over NH. A stationary boundary
    also extends southwestward from the southwest MO low across central
    and southwest OK, and northwest TX to another low over the Permian
    Basin. Thunderstorms are expected to focus on each of these
    boundaries today, particularly from the middle OH Valley into the
    Mid-Atlantic and over large portion of the central/southern Plains
    and Mid MS Valley. Severe thunderstorms are possible across these
    regions as well, with the highest severe thunderstorm coverage
    expected from northwest TX through western OK into south-central KS.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Low-level moisture advection is anticipated across the southern
    Plains today as the shortwave trough currently moving through the
    southern Great Basin continues quickly eastward, reaching the
    central Plains by early tomorrow. General expectation is for the
    stationary boundary mentioned in the synopsis to push north as warm
    front and for mid 60s dewpoints to cover much of OK by the late
    afternoon. This increasing low-level moisture beneath steep lapse
    rates (over 7 to 7.5 deg C per 12Z soundings and recent
    mesoanalysis) will support moderate to strong buoyancy from
    southwest TX into much of central and western OK. Height falls
    attendant to the approaching shortwave will begin spreading over
    this destabilizing airmass by the early afternoon, combining with
    low-level convergence along the front and dryline to support
    convective initiation between 21Z and 00Z.

    Given the expectation that convective inhibition will be limited, if
    present at all, widespread development is anticipated from western
    OK into southwest TX. Kinematic profiles support supercells, but the
    persistent ascent and extensive nature of the convective initiation
    suggest that a discrete convective mode will be difficult to
    maintain and a quick transition to a convective line appears
    probable. As such, strong gusts appear to be the primary severe
    risk. Even so, steep lapse rates should still support large hail,
    even within the convective line. Very large hail (i.e. 2"+ in
    diameter) is possible if a discrete mode can be maintained. A
    discrete mode could also increase the tornado potential, but higher probabilities (i.e. 10%) were not introduced given the likely storm interactions and expected quick convective evolution into a line.
    Some tornado risk will still be present within the line,
    particularly during the 00-04Z period as low-level hodographs
    lengthen amid a strengthening low-level jet.

    This strengthening low-level jet is also expected to support a
    secondary area of thunderstorm development from northeast
    OK/southeast KS into central/southern MO during the late afternoon.
    Large hail (with some isolated instances of hail around 2") is the
    primary risk with these storms, most likely early in their
    convective cycles.

    ...Ohio Valley into Mid-Atlantic...
    Ongoing cluster over MO will gradually move eastward with time, with
    the airmass south of the front mentioned in the synopsis
    destabilizing throughout the day. This destabilization coupled with
    moderate westerly flow aloft could lead to a reintensification of
    this cluster and/or new development ahead of it. Vertical shear will
    be modest but still sufficient for bowing line segments capable of
    damaging gusts. Greatest storm coverage (and attendant greatest
    severe potential) is expected over the middle Ohio Valley and the
    Mid-Atlantic States.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts, large hail and a few
    tornadoes are likely across the southern and central Plains this
    afternoon and evening. Strong to severe storms are also possible
    from parts of the Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and
    Mid-Atlantic.

    ...OK/TX...
    Water vapor imagery shows a potent shortwave trough moving across
    northern AZ. This feature will approach the surface dryline over
    west TX late this afternoon and evening, resulting in rapid and
    widespread thunderstorm development from the eastern TX Panhandle
    into western OK. Activity will build eastward through the evening
    with a risk of very large hail, damaging wind, and a few tornadoes.

    ...Northern OK/KS/Southwest MO...
    Latest surface analysis shows a weak boundary extending from
    southwest OK into southeast KS. This boundary will lift/mix
    northward today, resulting in rapid moistening/destabilization of
    the air mass. Most CAM solutions suggest the potential for the
    development of a few evening supercells in vicinity of this
    retreating boundary over north-central OK into southeast KS. Very
    large hail and a few tornadoes are possible.

    ...OH Valley into Mid-Atlantic...
    A well-defined surface boundary currently extends from southern OH
    into southern PA, with widespread clouds to the north and strong
    heating to the south. This strengthening baroclinic zone will
    provide the focus for thunderstorm development this afternoon and
    early evening. A cluster of thunderstorms is forecast by several
    CAM solutions to form over northeast KY/southern OH and track
    eastward through the afternoon, posing a risk of damaging wind
    gusts. Other more isolated strong storms are possible from
    southeast PA into the warm/moist air mass over parts of MD/VA, with
    a similar risk of gusty/damaging winds in the strongest cells.

    Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts, large hail and a few
    tornadoes are likely across the southern and central Plains this
    afternoon and evening. Strong to severe storms are also possible
    from parts of the Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and
    Mid-Atlantic.

    ...20z Update OK/KS/MO...
    Observational trends and model guidance continue to show rapid
    destabilization taking place this afternoon as a warm front
    gradually lifts northward across OK into southeastern KS and
    southwestern MO. Large-scale ascent is forecast to increase rapidly
    tonight as the primary upper trough over the Four Corners ejects
    eastward, aiding in storm development along a broad area of the
    front. Semi-discrete supercells and clusters are possible tonight
    before upscale growth takes place after 00z. The strong synoptic
    ascent should favor a rapid strengthening of low-level flow and
    shear. This would support a risk for damaging gusts and some
    tornadoes with remaining supercells or linear segments. Expand the
    5% tornado and 15% wind areas farther east into MO where CAM
    guidance shows storm persisting overnight.

    Farther southwest, no significant changes were made to the prior
    outlook. Scattered semi-discrete thunderstorm development remains
    likely along the dryline/front intersection across west/southwestern
    OK into western north TX this afternoon amid filtered heating of a
    moistening air mass. Initial supercells will pose risk for large
    hail and a couple tornadoes. The damaging wind threat (and possible
    some QLCS tornado risk) will likely increase after dark as storms
    congeal and spread northeastward beneath an intensifying 40-50 kt
    low-level jet.

    ...OH Valley and Mid Atlantic...
    Elsewhere, scattered thunderstorms are ongoing and expected to
    gradually increase in coverage through this evening along a frontal
    zone across the OH Valley into the Mid Atlantic. South of the front,
    moderate buoyancy and deep-layer shear will support some storm
    organization with supercells or organized clusters from northeast KY
    into southern OH and parts of WV/VA. Damaging gusts, and perhaps
    some hail are possible with the stronger storms.

    Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts, large hail and
    tornado potential will continue across the southern and central
    Plains this evening and overnight. Strong storms are also possible
    from parts of the Ohio Valley, central Appalachians and
    Mid-Atlantic.

    ... 01Z Update ...

    Severe thunderstorms with a history of damaging winds are currently
    located across southwest Oklahoma. This complex will continue to
    move northeast this evening, aided by mesoscale circulations
    associated with a mesolow/MCV across western Oklahoma. As the
    low-level jet increases this evening, an increase in tornado
    potential will be possible across portions of Tornado Watch #86. See
    Mesoscale Discussion #325 for more information.

    Elsewhere, clusters of strong-to-severe thunderstorms will be
    possible across southeast Kansas into southwest Missouri along a
    surface boundary. Although deep-layer shear is somewhat less than
    areas to the south and west, the presence of a low-level boundary,
    an increasing low-level jet, and sufficient low-level instability
    will continue to support some severe potential -- including
    tornadoes -- for several more hours.

    A hail and wind threat will also persist for several more hours
    across southwest Texas where MUCAPE values between 1000-1500 J/kg
    and deep-layer shear around 40 knots will support at least some
    supercell threat.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN IOWA...NORTHERN ILLINOIS...AND FAR SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing a few tornadoes appear
    probable across parts of eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and
    southern Wisconsin this afternoon. Additionally, damaging
    thunderstorm winds will be possible from eastern Iowa northeast into
    Michigan.

    ... Overview ...

    A negatively tilted trough will quickly lift northward through the
    Plains and across the Great Lakes today and tonight. As this occurs,
    a modest surface low will race northeast from north-central Kansas
    this morning into Ontario by Friday morning. Attendant to this
    surface low, a west-east oriented warm front will lift northward
    across the Great Lakes during the day and a north-south cold front
    will push east across the region during the late afternoon and
    overnight.

    ... Eastern Iowa east-north into Michigan ...

    A strong low-level jet at the start of the forecast period will
    support widespread showers and thunderstorms across the area. The
    low-level jet will strengthen through the morning as the midlevel
    trough approaches and the H850 low intensifies. This will maintain
    showers and thunderstorms through at least midday across Iowa and
    Illinois before the H850 low moves far enough north and east for the
    core of the low-level jet to focus farther east, taking the
    precipitation with it.

    In the wake of the morning/early afternoon convection, a narrow
    corridor of destabilization should occur across central/eastern Iowa
    and northwest Illinois to the south of the warm front and east of
    the cold front. Scattered supercells are expected to develop along
    the cold front during the afternoon where MUCAPE in excess of 1000
    J/kg and deep-layer shear on the order of 45 knots exists. Strong
    low-level kinematic fields will support a tornado and wind threat
    with these initial storms, and, despite modest lapse-rates, the
    presence of supercells within a modestly unstable environment will
    support some hail potential.

    By late afternoon/early evening these supercells should move into a
    less stable environment characterized by decreasing CAPE but
    increasing low-level shear. Current expectation is that the initial
    discrete storms will eventually grow upscale into one or more linear
    segments, along the advancing cold front. Despite the decreasing
    instability, the strength of the low-level wind field will support a
    continued wind threat eastward into Lower Michigan during the
    evening and overnight hours.

    ... Northeast Arkansas, Southeast Missouri, western Tennessee, and
    western Kentucky ...

    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon along
    and ahead of the surface cold front, where modest warm-air advection
    is forecast to persist through the day. Despite weakening kinematic
    fields, deep-layer shear on the order of 30 knots and MUCAPE between
    1000-2000 J/kg will support at least some severe potential --
    including a tornado or two -- during the late afternoon and early
    evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN
    IOWA...NORTHERN ILLINOIS...AND FAR SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing a few tornadoes appear
    probable across parts of eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and
    southern Wisconsin this afternoon. Additionally, damaging
    thunderstorm winds will be possible from eastern Iowa northeast into
    Michigan.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early morning satellite and radar imagery show an extensive warm
    conveyor, with embedded showers and thunderstorms, extending from
    the southern Plains into the Upper Midwest, with some westward
    branching noted over the Mid MO Valley. This warm conveyor is
    associated with shortwave trough currently progressing through the
    central Plains. Recent surface analysis places a surface low just
    ahead of this wave over central KS, with a warm front extending
    eastward from the low into the middle OH Valley and a dryline
    extending south-southwestward from this low through the TX Trans
    Pecos.

    Expectation is for this shortwave to eject quickly northeastward
    throughout the day, maintaining a negative tilt as it progresses
    through the Mid MO Valley and Upper Midwest before ending the period
    over northeastern Ontario. The associated surface low will move
    quickly northeastward as well, progressing across southern and
    eastern IA and southern WI before occluding over upper MI tonight.
    Warm front attendant to this low will move northward as well,
    bringing low 60s dewpoints into eastern IA, northern IL, and
    southern WI before a cold front moves through. Strong to severe
    thunderstorms are possible along and ahead of the cold front over
    much of the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys, with the highest potential
    for severe thunderstorms from eastern Iowa, northern IL, and far
    southern WI.

    ...Northern MO/Southern IA across southern WI/northern IL into Lower
    MI...
    Extensive area of showers and thunderstorms is currently ongoing
    from central TX into the Upper Midwest, within the warm conveyor
    mentioned in the synopsis. Moderate to strong southerly low-level
    flow exists within this warm sector. Progression of the negatively
    tilted shortwave and associated surface low mentioned in the
    synopsis will lead to a strengthening of this low-level flow, with
    attendant moisture advection into more of the Mid MS Valley. Some
    eastward displacement of the warm conveyor is anticipated, leaving
    the potential for airmass destabilization ahead of the surface low
    and cold front. This is supported by most of the guidance, which
    depicts a corridor of surface-based buoyancy and little to no
    convective inhibition from eastern IA/northern IL into central/east
    TX by the early afternoon.

    Best forcing for ascent within this corridor will be over the Upper
    Midwest and Mid MS Valley, particularly from southern/eastern IA
    into northern IL/southern WI, as both the shortwave and surface low
    move through the region. The strongest vertical shear will be over
    this region as well, supporting the potential for supercells with
    the initial, more cellular development. Very strong low-level shear
    supports a heightened tornado potential with any supercells,
    including the possibility of strong (EF2+) tornadoes. Given the
    linear forcing along the approaching cold front, a transition to a
    more linear storm mode is anticipated, although there is some
    uncertainty to how fast this transition occurs. The strength of the
    low-level flow supports a continued risk for tornadoes within any
    convective lines, but the primary hazard once any lines develop will
    become strong gusts. Kinematic fields are strong enough to support
    60 to 80 mph gusts. Additionally, despite weakening buoyancy, strong
    ascent and robust kinematic fields support the potential for
    damaging gusts across much of Lower MI later tonight.

    ...Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys into the Mid-South...
    As previously mentioned, showers and thunderstorms are currently
    ongoing from central TX into the Upper Midwest, within the extensive
    warm conveyor mentioned in the synopsis. There is some potential for reintensification of these showers and thunderstorms late this
    afternoon/early evening from central/eastern IL into the northeast
    AR/MO Bootheel, supported my modest destabilization and increasing
    ascent. Storm structures will likely be somewhat shallow, but strong
    flow will still support the potential for damaging gusts within any
    bowing line segments. A brief tornado is possible as well.

    Airmass destabilization is also anticipated west of this warm
    conveyor, but ahead of the cold front, from central IL into
    central/southern MO and northern AR. Much of this area will be
    displaced south and west of the departing shortwave trough and
    surface low, limiting large-scale ascent. However, some modest
    ascent is possible along a weak lagging upper trough, which could be
    enough to promote additional development. If updrafts can be
    maintained, parameters support the potential for strong to severe
    storms capable. Large hail is the primary risk, but a
    low-probability tornado risk exists as well.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
    AND EVENING OVER PARTS OF EASTERN IOWA...NORTHERN ILLINOIS...AND
    SOUTHERN WISCONSIN....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing a few tornadoes appear
    probable across parts of eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and
    southern Wisconsin this afternoon. Additionally, damaging
    thunderstorm winds will be possible from eastern Iowa northeast into
    Michigan.

    ...IA/IL/MO/WI...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a strong shortwave trough over
    northeast KS, with an associated mid-level jet and dry-slot rotating
    around the base of the trough into western MO. A deep surface low
    currently south of OMA will track northeastward across IA this
    afternoon, with a tight gradient of low-level moisture and
    instability along the track of the low. Very strong low-level shear
    and sufficient CAPE in the warm sector will pose a risk of
    fast-moving supercells capable of damaging winds, tornadoes
    (possibly strong), and hail. The area of greatest concern is over
    eastern IA into northern IL and far southern WI. Perhaps the
    biggest forecast uncertainty is the widespread cloud cover and
    limited diurnal destabilization, but the approaching dry slot may
    compensate by mid-afternoon and allow a period of afternoon heating.

    The coverage of storms with southward extent is uncertain across
    eastern MO and central/southern IL. Recent CAM solutions continue
    to show only widely scattered discrete development across this
    corridor. However, given the forecast of strong low-level shear and
    favorable synoptic forcing, those storms that do form would pose a
    risk of damaging winds and a few tornadoes.

    ...Eastern IL/IN/Lower MI...
    Strong southerly low-level winds will maintain 60s dewpoints across
    eastern IL/western IN, and result in the warm front lifting
    northward into southern Lower MI by this evening. This will provide
    a favorable environment for a few severe storms capable of damaging
    winds and perhaps a few tornadoes.

    Rapid air mass modification is underway to the south of a warm front

    Clearing beneath the advancing mid-level dry slot may allow
    temperatures to warm into the low 70s, with surface dewpoints near

    southern IA should mature and present a severe hazard over much of
    the ENH area as they spread northeastward through this evening. A
    few tornadoes (some strong and fast moving), hail and damaging gusts
    are expected. Additional storms may develop within the warm conveyor
    belt farther east across IL this afternoon/evening. Upscale growth
    into one or more clusters with damaging gusts and a couple tornadoes
    is the primary concern.

    The main change with the 20z update was to trim thunderstorm and
    severe probabilities to the west of the advancing cold front. See
    the prior discussion for more information.

    ...IA/IL/MO/WI...
    Morning water vapor imagery shows a strong shortwave trough over
    northeast KS, with an associated mid-level jet and dry-slot rotating
    around the base of the trough into western MO. A deep surface low
    currently south of OMA will track northeastward across IA this
    afternoon, with a tight gradient of low-level moisture and
    instability along the track of the low. Very strong low-level shear
    and sufficient CAPE in the warm sector will pose a risk of
    fast-moving supercells capable of damaging winds, tornadoes
    (possibly strong), and hail. The area of greatest concern is over
    eastern IA into northern IL and far southern WI. Perhaps the
    biggest forecast uncertainty is the widespread cloud cover and
    limited diurnal destabilization, but the approaching dry slot may
    compensate by mid-afternoon and allow a period of afternoon heating.

    The coverage of storms with southward extent is uncertain across
    eastern MO and central/southern IL. Recent CAM solutions continue
    to show only widely scattered discrete development across this
    corridor. However, given the forecast of strong low-level shear and
    favorable synoptic forcing, those storms that do form would pose a
    risk of damaging winds and a few tornadoes.

    ...Eastern IL/IN/Lower MI...
    Strong southerly low-level winds will maintain 60s dewpoints across
    eastern IL/western IN, and result in the warm front lifting
    northward into southern Lower MI by this evening. This will provide
    a favorable environment for a few severe storms capable of damaging
    winds and perhaps a few tornadoes.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Ongoing severe thunderstorms across the Great Lakes this evening
    will remain capable of producing damaging thunderstorm winds, a
    couple of tornadoes, and some hail into the overnight hours.

    ... 01Z Update ...

    A vigorous, negatively tilted trough continues to lift northeast
    across the Upper Great Lakes this evening. Ahead of this wave,
    strong ascent is supporting multiple clusters/bands of severe
    convection across the Great Lakes -- one currently across Indiana
    and Michigan within the cyclone's warm-conveyor belt and another
    across Illinois and Wisconsin along the combined Pacific front and
    dryline.

    Despite the loss of diurnal heating, strong large-scale ascent and
    low-level convergence along the front/dryline will support
    thunderstorms into the overnight. Although the overall intensity of
    the thunderstorms will gradually decrease with time, the strength of
    the low-level wind fields will support a continued wind threat into
    Lower Michigan overnight, with a modest QLCS-type tornado threat.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
    MISSOURI AN SOUTHERN IOWA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Storms are expected to evolve into an extensive line by Friday
    evening from Iowa to Oklahoma and northwest Texas, with the primary
    threats of large hail and damaging winds. A few tornadoes and
    isolated very large hail will be possible from northern Missouri
    into southern Iowa with any sustained supercells.

    A midlevel trough, emanating from a previous TPV, will move across
    the northern US today and tonight. This feature will maintain a
    modest surface cyclone that will progress northeastward from central
    Kansas to southern Wisconsin by Saturday morning. As the surface low
    lifts northeast, a west-east orientate warm front will push
    northward toward Lower Michigan.

    ... Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa ...

    As the surface cyclone lifts northeast in response to increasing
    pressure falls in advance of the midlevel trough, southerly winds
    will draw low-level moisture northward, with low-to-mid 60Fs
    dewpoints possible along and south of the aforementioned warm front.
    Residual steep mid-level lapse rates and modest insolation will
    contribute to MLCAPE values up to 2000 J/kg (and MUCAPE values
    approach 3000 J/kg). Despite the low-level jet weakening through the
    day, deep-layer shear will be sufficient for supercells along and
    south of the warm front and east of the Pacific cold front/dryline.
    However, given persistent warm-air advection/isentropic ascent
    associated with the advancing warm front, concerns abound regarding
    the number of storms, storm interactions, and an overall messy storm
    mode evolution.

    If a more discrete mode emerges, the overall kinematic wind field
    would support sustained supercells and an increased tornado threat
    along both the Pacific Front/dryline and the northward moving warm
    front. Very large hail would also be possible. If a more linear mode
    emerges, the primary severe hazard would focus more on strong winds
    and a QLCS tornado threat. Of note, even with a more linear mode,
    uncertainty in the coverage of potential strong convective winds is
    low owing to a weakening low-level jet and storm interactions. The
    Level 3/Enhanced was kept at this time, but the need for a
    wind-driven Level 3/Enhanced will be revisited in subsequent
    forecasts.

    ... Central Illinois east into Ohio and north into Lower Michigan
    ...

    Thunderstorms will be possible along the northward moving warm front
    during the afternoon on Friday. Although there is uncertainty
    regarding the number/coverage of storms, the overall thermodynamic
    and kinematic fields would support the potential for hail and wind
    along and north of the warm front. Across the western portions of
    this area, a brief tornado threat would exist as any discrete
    supercells traverse through the warm frontal zone.

    ... Southeast Kansas/Southwest Missouri southwest toward Northwest
    Texas...

    Thunderstorms will develop southward from northern Missouri into
    Oklahoma during the afternoon as the Pacific cold front/dryline
    pushes east into an increasingly unstable airmass. At the same time,
    additional thunderstorms are likely to develop across Northwest
    Texas and southwest Oklahoma in association with a subtle
    perturbation within the subtropical jet. Forecast wind fields
    indicate low-level flow will be weaker here than areas farther north
    and east, and have pronounced weakness in the 3-6 km AGL range. The
    combination of this wind field and the widespread nature of the
    convection would lend itself to large hail and damaging winds as the
    main severe hazards, although a tornado cannot be ruled out with any
    discrete storm or along the leading edge of any organized linear
    segments.

    ... Southwest Texas ...

    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon/evening
    along the higher terrain and a surface dryline. Wind fields will
    support supercells capable of producing large hail and damaging
    winds. However uncertainty regarding overall storm coverage
    precludes a categorical upgrade to Level 2/Slight Risk.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
    MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN IOWA INTO WEST/NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes and isolated very large hail are possible late this
    afternoon and evening across northern Missouri into southern Iowa
    and north-central Illinois with any sustained supercells that
    develop. Storms are otherwise expected to evolve into an extensive
    line by Friday evening from Iowa to Oklahoma and northwest Texas,
    with the primary threats of large hail and damaging winds.

    ...Northern Missouri/southern Iowa/north-central Illinois...
    The shortwave trough emerging from the north-central High Plains
    this morning will spread east-northeastward toward the Upper Midwest
    through early Saturday. This will be accompanied by a strengthening
    (70+ kt) belt of cyclonically curved mid/high-level westerlies. A
    surface low across the south-central Plains will transition
    northeastward toward the Iowa/Illinois border vicinity tonight,
    while a warm front shifts northward from northern Missouri into Iowa
    and across northern portions of Illinois/Indiana, where low/middle
    60s F dewpoints will become common across the Midwest near and south
    of the warm front.

    Within the warm sector, residually steep mid-level lapse rates and
    modest insolation will contribute to MLCAPE values up to 2000 J/kg
    (and MUCAPE values approach 3000 J/kg). Deep-layer shear will be
    sufficient for supercells along and south of the warm front and east
    of the Pacific cold front/dryline. While the likelihood/extent of
    semi-discrete supercellular development remains a bit uncertain, the
    main potential for such will increase during the afternoon near the
    triple point around the Kansas/Missouri/Iowa border vicinity and
    eastward, potentially as far east into western/north-central
    Illinois in vicinity of the northward-shifting warm front.
    Semi-discrete development would offer tornado/very large hail
    potential, as well as a possible multi-round scenario of severe
    storms in some of this corridor via a more prevalent line of storms
    during the evening, with a damaging wind risk and some continued
    tornado potential as the low-level restrengthens.

    ...Northern Indiana to western portions of Pennsylvania/New York...
    Relatively strong westerlies atop the frontal zone, which will be
    more southeast-progressive as a cold front with eastward extent,
    will support at least isolated severe thunderstorms late this
    afternoon into evening, including a few supercells regionally.

    ...Southeast Kansas/Southwest Missouri to Northwest Texas...
    Thunderstorms will develop southward from northern Missouri into
    Oklahoma during the afternoon as the Pacific cold front/dryline
    advances southeastward into an increasingly unstable airmass. At the
    same time, additional thunderstorms are likely to develop across
    Northwest Texas and southwest Oklahoma in association with a subtle perturbation within the subtropical jet. Forecast wind fields
    indicate low-level flow will be weaker here than areas farther north
    and east. The combination of this wind field and the widespread
    nature of the convection would lend itself to large hail and
    damaging winds as the main severe hazards, although a tornado could
    occur with any discrete storm or along the leading edge of any
    organized linear segments.

    ...Southwest Texas...
    Isolated thunderstorms are expected by late afternoon and early
    evening in vicinity of the dry line and near some of the
    mountains/higher terrain. Wind fields will support supercells
    capable of producing large hail and localized severe-caliber winds.

    mass in the warm sector of the low will be relatively moist and
    unstable with dewpoints in the lower 60s and afternoon MLCAPE values
    of 2000 J/kg. Thunderstorms are expected to develop near the
    surface low in IA, and more widely scattered storms eastward along
    the warm front. A few supercells are possible across this region,
    with a concern for tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds in the
    most intense cells.

    ...MO/KS/OK/TX...
    An extensive line of thunderstorms is expected to form along the
    cold front this afternoon from western MO into southeast KS and much
    of OK. Ample low-level moisture and CAPE will be present ahead of
    the storms, along with sufficient deep-layer shear for
    rotating/bowing storm structures. Large hail and damaging winds

    ...20z update KS, MO IA and IL...
    Scattered thunderstorm development was ongoing this afternoon ahead
    of a weak surface low an associated cold front over the MO Valley.
    To the east, a broad and unstable warm sector exists south of a quasi-stationary front extending into eastern MO and IL. Moderate
    buoyancy and deep-layer shear will support a mix of supercells.
    Damaging winds and hail remain the most likely near the cold front
    as it moves eastward with a linear storm modes. A few tornadoes are
    also possible with more discrete cells and backed surface winds
    along the warm front farther east. The primary update to the
    forecast was to remove thunder and severe probabilities behind the
    cold front, otherwise the severe risk remains as is.

    ...Southern KS, OK and into TX...
    Scattered to numerous thunderstorms remain likely this afternoon and
    evening along the advancing cold front from southern KS, across much
    of OK and ahead of a dryline into west-central TX. South of the
    primary upper trough and stronger flow aloft, overall forcing will
    be weaker. Still, forecast soundings and observation trends show
    moderate destabilization and sufficient deep-layer shear for
    supercells and organized clusters/line segments. Hail (some 2+ in)
    is possible with initial supercells before upscale growth is
    expected to take place with the surging cold front.

    A locally more favorable zone for large hail, damaging gusts and a
    tornado or two may develop across parts of central and southern OK
    if semi discrete supercells or stronger bowing structures can become organized/maintained this afternoon/evening.

    ...OH Valley...
    A moist and unstable air mass will support scattered thunderstorms
    across the OH valley this afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts are
    possible with multi-cell storms/clusters amid modest vertical shear.
    Storms should weaken this evening with the loss of diurnal heating.

    Thunderstorms continue to evolve into an extensive line this evening
    from Iowa to Oklahoma and northwest Texas. Damaging winds, hail, and
    a couple of tornadoes remain possible through the overnight.

    ... 01Z Update ...

    Thunderstorms continue to develop along and ahead of an advancing
    cold front this evening. These storms should continue to increase in
    number, growing upscale into an extensive linear MCS from Northwest
    Texas northeastward into southern Iowa. Despite nocturnal
    stabilization of the boundary layer, forcing along the cold front,
    MUCAPE between 1000-2000 J/kg, and sufficient vertical shear should
    support a continued hail and wind threat into the overnight hours,
    especially across the southern portion of this area where updrafts
    appear to be more robust than areas farther north. Given the moist
    low-levels and a modest uptick in the low-level jet, a couple of
    tornadoes may still occur as well.

    Additional thunderstorms have developed eastward along the warm
    front draped across southern Iowa east across Illinois, Indiana,
    Ohio, and Pennsylvania. MUCAPE and vertical shear decrease with
    eastward extent along the warm front, organized thunderstorms within
    the frontal zone should support an localized hail and wind threat
    for a few more hours. A tornado or two could also be realized with
    any discrete/semi-discrete cell that can increase its resonance time
    in the frontal zone, especially across central Illinois where better instability and vertical shear exist.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN...MUCH OF OHIO...AND PORTIONS OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND
    NEW YORK....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong-to-severe storms will be possible from eastern Texas
    northeastward toward the Lower Great Lakes. Sporadic damaging winds
    will be the most likely severe hazard throughout this corridor, with
    the greatest likelihood across the Lower Great Lakes.

    ... Synopsis ...

    A midlevel trough is forecast to move from the northern Plains into
    Ontario on Saturday As this happens, a surface low should lift
    northward from northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin into Ontario as
    well and a surface cold front will accelerate eastward across the
    Great Lakes and be approaching the East Coast by Sunday morning. To
    the southwest, the cold front will not progress as quickly, but
    should advance south and east through the day.

    ... Southeast Lower Michigan, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and
    western New York ...

    As the surface low lifts northward into Canada on Saturday, showers
    and thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing along and ahead of the
    trailing composite cold front/convective outflow. At the same time,
    a surface warm front will lift slowly northward across Lower
    Michigan. To the south of this front, and ahead of the cold
    front/outflow, a moist airmass, characterized by low-to-mid 60Fs
    dewpoints should be in place. Despite the strongest large-scale
    ascent being displaced to the north and west of the warm sector and
    weak midlevel lapse rates atop the warm sector, pockets of
    insolation should be sufficient to destabilize the environment
    enough to support some convective redevelopment along and ahead of
    the composite outflow/cold front. Modest instability will combine
    with seasonably strong low-level wind fields to support a convective
    wind threat and an isolated tornado threat along the leading edge of
    any sustained linear segments.

    ... Tennessee Valley southwest to eastern Texas ...

    Widespread thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing across the
    western portions of this area at the start of the forecast period.
    These thunderstorms will likely be driven by convergence along the east/southeast moving composite cold front/convective outflow
    boundary, with the exact western edge of any severe threat
    demarcated by where this boundary is located at the start of the
    forecast period. Seasonably high precipitable water values should
    support some threat for strong wind gusts in the most intense
    thunderstorm cores. These thunderstorms are expected to continue
    through the day, despite weakening large-scale ascent and vertical
    wind shear as the midlevel low pulls farther away. Given the
    seasonably high precipitable water values, modest insolation should
    support MUCAPE values between 500 and 1000 J/kg (perhaps as high as
    1500 J/kg) across portions of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
    This may support a re-intensification of ongoing convection which
    would be capable of sporadic damaging downbursts

    ...Ohio/Eastern Indiana/Lower Michigan to Pennsylvania/New York...
    A shortwave trough over the Upper Midwest early today will continue northeastward toward the upper Great Lakes through tonight.
    Cyclonically influenced strengthening deep-layer southwesterlies
    (50+ kt 700 mb) will overspread Indiana/Michigan toward the Lower
    Great Lakes, atop a steadily moistening/heating warm-sector boundary
    layer along and north of the Ohio River.

    This will be ahead of a surface low and cold front, that is
    considerably augmented by generally weakening thunderstorms and
    prevalent lingering clouds/outflows through the pre-dawn hours.
    These residual factors cast uncertainty regarding the magnitude of
    today's overall potential, but a formidable flow field and
    guidance-advertised heating/steady diurnal destabilization will
    still be supportive of at least some severe potential regionally as
    storms redevelop and intensify this afternoon. This includes
    damaging wind potential, particularly given the magnitude of low/mid-tropospheric winds and boundary layer mixing, with some
    tornado threat as well, mainly in vicinity of the triple
    point/nearby warm front. Overall storm intensities should decrease
    by mid/late evening, owing to nocturnal boundary-layer influences
    and the primary upper-level system spreading away from the region.

    ...Tennessee Valley/Lower Mississippi Valley/Texas ...
    While diminishing in intensity overnight, showers/thunderstorms
    remain extensive and prevalent from the Mid-South/Ozarks
    southwestward into North Texas, as a synoptic cold front otherwise
    continues to progress southeastward across these regions. While
    details are complexified by considerable cloud cover and lingering
    storms, multiple corridors of reinvigorating storms should
    materialize this afternoon where more appreciable cloud
    breaks/heating occur. Downbursts/locally damaging winds will be the
    primary severe hazard, but this is currently expected to be on a
    relatively isolated/episodic basis.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing scattered damaging winds
    and perhaps a tornado or two appear possible across parts of the
    Lower Great Lakes and middle/upper Ohio River Valley region this
    afternoon through early evening. Other more isolated strong to
    severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of the the Tennessee
    Valley, Lower Mississippi Valley, and central/east/south Texas.

    ...Midwest/Lower Michigan to Pennsylvania and Western New York...
    An upper trough over the Upper Midwest late this morning will
    continue moving northeastward toward the upper Great Lakes through
    tonight. Strengthening deep-layer southwesterlies (with 50+ kt
    present at 700 mb) will overspread IN/MI toward the Lower Great
    Lakes atop a gradually moistening/heating boundary layer along and
    north of the Ohio River.

    This will occur ahead of a surface low over WI/MI and convectively reinforced/southeastward-developing cold front that will impact
    parts of the Midwest/OH Valley this afternoon. Recent visible
    satellite trends showing clearing across much of OH into northwest
    PA suggest sufficient heating and modest diurnal destabilization
    will support at least some severe potential regionally as
    thunderstorms redevelop and intensify this afternoon along/ahead of
    the cold front. Given steepening low-lapse rates and enhanced
    low/mid-level southwesterly flow, scattered severe/damaging winds
    should be the main threat. But, there may also be some potential for
    a tornado or two as well, mainly in vicinity of the triple
    point/nearby warm front that will extend eastward into central PA.
    Overall updraft intensities should decrease by mid to late evening,
    owing to stabilizing/nocturnal boundary-layer influences, and the
    primary upper trough/low moving northeastward away from the region.

    ...Tennessee Valley into the Lower Mississippi Valley/Texas...
    Showers and occasional thunderstorms remain extensive this morning
    from the Mid-South southwestward into northeast TX, as a surface
    cold front continues to progress southeastward across these areas.
    Even with considerable cloud cover and poor lapse rates aloft ahead
    of this ongoing activity, multiple corridors of reinvigorated
    convective clusters should develop this afternoon where some cloud breaks/filtered heating can occur. Downbursts with locally damaging
    winds should be the primary severe hazard, but this threat is
    expected to remain relatively isolated given lessening deep-layer
    shear with southward extent into the lower MS Valley/TX.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    NORTHERN OHIO INTO NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHWESTERN NEW
    YORK STATE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing scattered damaging winds
    and perhaps a tornado or two remain possible across parts of the
    Lower Great Lakes and middle/upper Ohio River Valley region this
    afternoon through early evening. Other more isolated strong to
    severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of the the Tennessee
    Valley, Lower Mississippi Valley, and central/east/south Texas.

    ...20z Update Great Lakes Region...
    A band of thunderstorms ahead of the eastward progressing cold front
    will continue across northern OH this afternoon before moving into
    western PA and southwest NY this evening. Diurnal steepening of
    low-level lapse rates amid fairly strong, but unidirectional flow
    aloft will continue to support a risk for damaging gusts. A brief
    tornado also remains possible with any rotating elements, especially
    near the southern shores of Lake Erie near the stalled warm
    front/lake boundary. Have trimmed severe and thunder probabilities
    behind the front over IN where the risk has decreased.

    ...TN Valley to the Southeast and South TX...
    Ahead of the southern portions of the cold front, a warm, moist, and
    unstable air mass will support widespread thunderstorm activity from
    parts of the TN Valley, Southeast and into South TX. In the absence
    of steep mid-level lapse rates and stronger vertical shear
    (especially with southward extent), storm organization should be
    transient and limited. Still, the moist environment and some veering
    winds the lowest few km could support an occasional stronger or
    briefly rotating storm. Any clustering could support occasional
    damaging gusts or small hail with stronger updrafts near the front.
    The outlook remains valid with only minor adjustments to the western
    extent of thunder and severe probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE NORTHERN APPALACHIANS AND FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A couple of damaging gusts remain possible across the northern
    Appalachians this evening, and an instance or two of hail/wind may
    accompany one of the stronger storms in Deep South Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    A pronounced mid-level trough continues to progress eastward over
    the Great Lakes, with surface lee troughing prevalent over the
    Appalachians and points east. A cold front continues to sweep
    eastward across the OH/TN Valleys into southern TX, preceded by
    enough buoyancy to support mainly general thunderstorms. A couple of
    stronger thunderstorms may still occur over the northern
    Appalachians and far southern TX.

    ...PA into the southern Great Lakes...
    Ahead of the surface cold front, scant buoyancy (e.g. a few hundred
    J/kg MLCAPE) remains in place per regional 00Z observed soundings.
    Most of the CAPE is constrained in the 850-600 mb layer, which may
    support a few strong low topped cells within bands of convection,
    aided by strong low-level shear, as shown by the soundings. 0-3 km
    SRH remains in the 200-300 m2/s2 range. As such, while the severe
    threat is expected to remain sparse at best given poor buoyancy, the
    strong low-level shear suggests that an additional damaging gust
    cannot be completely ruled out.

    ...Deep-South Texas...
    Multicells continue to propagate southward ahead of a cold front,
    where ample buoyancy remains in place. While vertical wind shear is
    poor, 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE, driven by 70 F dewpoints beneath 7+ C/km
    mid-level lapse rates (per the 00Z BRO observed sounding), indicates
    the potential for a sparse severe hail/gust instance before storms
    dissipate in the next few hours.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE
    CAROLINAS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible
    this afternoon afternoon from the eastern Carolinas to the
    Mid-Atlantic region.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will impinge on the East Coast as upper ridging
    builds over the Interior West today. This upper air pattern will
    support a surface trough and accompanying cold front moving offshore
    over the East Coast as surface high pressure becomes established to
    the west of the Appalachians, over much of the CONUS. Low-level
    moisture along the East Coast will promote thunderstorm potential
    ahead of the cold front given associated deep-layer lifting. A few
    strong thunderstorms are possible across the Carolinas into the
    Mid-Atlantic, where deep-layer ascent and vertical wind shear will
    be strongest.

    ...Carolinas into the Mid-Atlantic...
    By late morning into early afternoon, breaks in the clouds from
    central NC to the NJ shoreline will contribute to boundary layer
    mixing, along with destabilization (given the presence of 60+ F
    surface dewpoints). 6 C/km mid-level lapse rates overspreading this
    boundary layer will result in tall, thin CAPE profiles. A few
    hundred J/kg MLCAPE may develop along the Mid-Atlantic shoreline,
    with up to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE possible over the eastern Carolinas. As
    the surface cold front approaches by early afternoon, a line of
    storms should develop along the cold front. Modestly curved
    low-level hodographs should support some organization of the squall
    line, with a few damaging gusts possible during the afternoon.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/MID-ATLANTIC REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated damaging wind gusts are possible this
    afternoon across the eastern Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic region.

    ...Carolinas/Delmarva/Mid-Atlantic States...
    Multiple subtle mid-level perturbations over the Midwest, within the
    base of the broad upper trough centered over Canada/Great Lakes,
    will progress east-northeastward with steady height falls and
    strengthening flow aloft particularly for the Mid-Atlantic region
    and Delmarva. Prevalent showers/some thunderstorms early today will
    accompany an east/southeastward-moving cold front, but cloud breaks
    should allow for pre-frontal heating particularly across the coastal
    plain over the Carolinas and far southeast Virginia.

    A few hundred J/kg MLCAPE may develop along the Mid-Atlantic
    shoreline, with up to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE possible over the eastern
    Carolinas. As the surface cold front approaches by early afternoon,
    a line of storms should develop and intensify along the cold front.
    Modestly curved low-level hodographs should support linearly
    organizing clusters/bands of storms, with a few damaging wind gusts
    possible during the afternoon.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    While low-level moisture will be rather limited, thermodynamic
    profiles may be sufficiently supportive of a few lightning flashes
    late this afternoon and early evening across parts of southern Minnesota/northern Iowa into western Wisconsin in vicinity of a southeastward-spreading front. Gusty winds may also occur with this
    convection in the presence of a well-mixed boundary layer and
    strengthening northwesterly winds aloft.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated damaging winds may occur this afternoon
    across the eastern Carolinas and parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

    ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic...
    Within the base of a broad upper trough centered over eastern Canada
    and the Great Lakes, multiple subtle mid-level perturbations over
    the Midwest will develop east-northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic
    and Carolinas today. Ongoing showers will accompany an east/southeastward-moving surface cold front, but some cloud breaks
    will allow for filtered pre-frontal heating, particularly across the
    coastal plain over the eastern Carolinas and far southeast VA.

    Up to 100-300 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop across the coastal
    Mid-Atlantic, with 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE possible over the eastern
    Carolinas where greater heating should occur. A broken line of
    low-topped thunderstorms will develop along/ahead of the cold front
    this afternoon as it moves east-southeastward. Modestly curved
    low-level hodographs and 25-35 kt of deep-layer shear should support clusters/bands of convection, with isolated damaging wind gusts
    possible where low-level lapse rates can become steepened. However,
    poor mid-level lapse rates and generally weak instability are
    expected to limit updraft strength and the overall severe threat.

    ...Upper Midwest...
    While low-level moisture will remain quite meager, cold temperatures
    aloft and very weak MUCAPE may support a few lightning flashes late
    this afternoon and early evening across parts of southeast MN into
    northeast IA and southwest WI near a southeastward-moving front.
    Gusty winds may occur with this convection in the presence of a
    well-mixed boundary layer and strengthening northwesterly winds
    aloft. But with minimal instability forecast, the overall severe
    threat is expected to remain low.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected today across the
    Florida Peninsula, and portions of the Four Corners, northern
    Rockies, and eastern Great Lakes. No severe threat is forecast.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad mid-level trough will begin exiting the Northeast and
    overspreading the Atlantic as another mid-level trough impinges on
    the Pacific Northwest and a lower amplitude impulse traverses the
    Southwest today. Much of the northern, central, and eastern CONUS
    will be dominated by surface high pressure while surface lee
    troughing, with dry low-level trajectories, takes place over the
    southern High Plains. As such, convective potential will be limited
    over the much of the U.S. with few exceptions. A few embedded
    mid-level impulses, accompanied by cooler temperatures aloft, will
    foster enough lift amid scant buoyancy to encourage a few lightning
    flashes across the northern Rockies, Four Corners region, and the
    eastern Great Lakes today.

    The best chance for organized thunderstorm potential will be over
    the FL Peninsula, where ample low-level moisture will exist in
    proximity to a stalled frontal boundary. Afternoon peak heating will
    support scattered thunderstorm development amid tall, thin CAPE
    profiles, but relatively poor vertical wind shear. While strong
    gusts may accompany some of the deeper storm cores, the threat for
    severe storms appears too low for the inclusion of severe
    wind-driven probabilities at this time.

    occur across the central/southern Florida Peninsula, organized
    severe potential is expected to remain low.

    ...Synopsis...
    The East will remain influenced by longwave troughing, while
    westerly quasi-zonal upper flow prevails elsewhere. Much of the
    northern, central, and eastern CONUS will be dominated by surface
    high pressure while surface lee troughing, with dry low-level
    trajectories, takes place over the southern High Plains.
    Thunderstorms are expected mainly this afternoon across the Florida
    Peninsula. A few embedded mid-level impulses, accompanied by cooler temperatures aloft, will foster enough lift amid scant buoyancy to
    encourage a few lightning flashes across the northern Rockies, Four
    Corners region, and the eastern Great Lakes today.

    ...Central/southern Florida Peninsula...
    Ample insolation/heating should occur today along and south of the slow-southward progressing front. This heating combined with
    easterly low-level winds should focus convergence and scattered
    thunderstorm development this afternoon across the interior
    peninsula. With the upstream shortwave trough not influencing the
    region until later tonight, mid-level lapse rates will remain
    relatively poor with weak deep-layer shear. Regardless, steepening
    low-level lapse rates should lead to increasing storm coverage and
    intensity this afternoon, particularly across the interior, and a
    few of these pulse-type storms could produce strong
    downburst-related gusty winds. However, it currently appears that severe-caliber wind gust potential will remain limited given the
    marginality of the overall scenario.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected today across the
    Florida Peninsula and portions of the Southwest, Pacific Northwest,
    and eastern Great Lakes. While a few strong storms may occur across
    the central/southern Florida Peninsula, organized severe potential
    should remain low.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Mean longwave troughing will remain over the eastern COUNS today,
    while a weak mid-level shortwave trough advances eastward across the
    Gulf towards the FL Peninsula by late tonight. At the surface, high
    pressure centered over the southern Plains to TN/OH Valleys will
    maintain offshore low-level trajectories and limited low-level
    moisture over a large majority of the CONUS. Still, isolated
    lightning flashes may occur today across parts of the eastern Great
    Lakes, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest in association with weak
    mid-level perturbations amid the presence of sufficient MUCAPE and
    modest lift.

    Greater low-level moisture (mid 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints)
    will remain confined along/south of a cold front draped across the
    central FL Peninsula. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are
    expected to develop this afternoon across central/south FL as
    daytime heating erodes lingering MLCIN, especially across interior
    areas. With the low-amplitude shortwave trough remaining well to the
    west over the Gulf through the day, weak low/mid-level winds and
    meager deep-layer shear over land will likely limit updraft
    organization and severe potential. Still, occasional strong/gusty
    downburst winds may occur with the more robust cores as low-level
    lapse rates become steepened with continued diurnal heating.

    A few thunderstorms remain possible this evening across portions of

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad mid-level trough continues to progress across the Northeast,
    with upper ridging persisting over the Northwest, and a
    low-amplitude impulse impinging on the Southwest this evening.
    Across the Northwest and Southwest, colder air aloft is supporting
    scant buoyancy, which will continue to promote the potential for a
    couple of lightning flashes through early tonight. Thunderstorms
    continue to benefit from a moist, unstable environment across the
    central and southern FL Peninsula. Storms should gradually weaken
    this evening with the onset of nocturnal cooling.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected today across parts
    of the Florida Peninsula, the southern Rockies, and northern High
    Plains. Severe thunderstorms are not expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will eject over the Atlantic while another
    pronounced mid-level trough rapidly traverses the northern Rockies
    today. Meanwhile, multiple low-amplitude impulses traversing
    relatively zonal upper flow will overspread the Southwest and the FL
    Peninsula. Across the Southern Rockies, enough lift amid cool air
    aloft (and thus scant buoyancy) should accompany the aforementioned low-amplitude mid-level impulse to support isolated to potentially
    scattered thunderstorm development. Scattered thunderstorms may also
    develop across the FL Peninsula along sea-breeze boundaries given a
    moist, heated low-level airmass. Scattered high-based/low-topped
    storms are likely across the northern High Plains with the approach
    of the upper trough. Storms will develop atop a deep and dry
    boundary layer, but with scant buoyancy. Given the dry boundary
    layer, gusty conditions may accompany the stronger storms. However,
    the severe wind threat currently appears too low for the
    introduction of a Category 1/Marginal risk at this time.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected today across parts
    of the Florida Peninsula, the southern Rockies, and northern High
    Plains. Severe thunderstorm potential is currently expected to
    remain low.

    ...Synopsis...
    Split/nearly zonal upper-level flow will prevail across most of the
    CONUS to the south of an amplifying trough from the Canadian Rockies southeastward toward the northern High Plains, and in the wake of
    low-amplitude troughs crossing both New England and Florida today.

    ...Florida Peninsula...
    Scattered thunderstorms should increase across the Florida Peninsula
    into the afternoon, influenced by the passing mid-level trough and
    sea-breeze convergence in the presence of a very moist airmass. A
    few of the storms across the southern Florida Peninsula could
    produce locally strong thunderstorm winds, but severe potential
    should remain relatively low.

    ...Northern High Plains...
    Isolated high-based storms are expected across the northern High
    Plains, including eastern Montana into western North Dakota, aided
    by the approach of the aforementioned upper trough. Storms will
    develop atop a relatively dry/well-mixed boundary layer, but with
    very limited buoyancy overall. Given the dry boundary layer and
    strengthening mid-tropospheric winds, strong and gusty winds may
    accompany this convection during the late afternoon until around
    sunset.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to potentially scattered thunderstorms should occur today
    across parts of the central/southern Florida Peninsula,
    southern/central Rockies/High Plains, and northern High Plains.
    Organized severe thunderstorm potential appears low.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move east-southeastward today from
    British Columbia/Alberta to the northern Rockies/High Plains. Strong
    mid-level winds will accompany this shortwave trough, and a
    deep/well-mixed boundary layer is expected to develop across parts
    of eastern MT and vicinity by this afternoon with diurnal heating.
    However, low-level moisture will remain quite limited, with surface
    dewpoints currently in the 20s to mid 30s across the northern High
    Plains. This will hinder the development of any more than weak
    MLCAPE by mid to late afternoon, although high-based convection
    capable of producing occasional lightning flashes and strong/gusty
    winds may occur. Given expectations for moisture and related
    instability to remain quite meager, have not included low severe
    wind probabilities across the northern High Plains with this update.

    A weak mid-level shortwave trough will continue to advance eastward
    across the FL Peninsula through the afternoon. Isolated to perhaps
    scattered thunderstorms remain possible, mainly across parts of
    south FL along and south of a convectively reinforced front. Prior
    convection and ongoing cloud cover across the central/southern FL
    Peninsula will probably hinder more robust diurnal heating this
    afternoon. Still, locally gusty downdraft winds and small hail may
    occur with the stronger cores that can develop, before convection
    eventually focuses offshore by this evening.

    Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms also appear possible
    across parts of the southern/central Rockies and adjacent High
    Plains through this evening, but weak instability across these
    regions are expected to preclude severe thunderstorms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    WESTERN AND CENTRAL KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong thunderstorms may develop across western into central
    Kansas this afternoon and evening, with an instance or two of severe
    wind and hail possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will traverse the north-central CONUS today,
    supporting modest surface troughing across the Plains states.
    Despite initially meager low-level moisture return, storms may
    develop along a frontal boundary over the central Plains by late
    afternoon. A few of which may be strong. Otherwise, isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms may develop along sea-breeze boundaries over
    the FL Peninsula, as was with the upper trough over the Upper MS
    Valley. A couple of lightning flashes may also occur over northern
    CA surrounding areas as an upper trough impinges on the coastline.

    ...Central into western Kansas...
    By afternoon peak heating, clear skies and robust heating of the
    boundary layer will result in convective temperatures being reached
    along/just ahead of a frontal boundary, which is poised to drift
    southward through late afternoon. Convective initiation is likely
    around or after 20Z, when 30+ F T/Td spreads should be in place.
    High-based multicells will be the likely storm mode, as strong
    northwesterly flow aloft will contribute to elongated, straight
    hodographs. The strongest storms may produce a couple of severe
    gusts and perhaps an instance or two of hail.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may develop across western and central
    Kansas late this afternoon and early evening, with hail and locally
    severe wind gusts possible.

    ...Western/central Kansas...
    The region will be glancingly influenced by an eastward-progressing
    upper trough over the northern Plains. Ample insolation and robust
    heating of a boundary layer, characterized by limited moisture (40s
    F dewpoints), will result in convective temperatures being reached
    by peak heating near a southeastward-moving front. Isolated to
    widely scattered convective initiation is expected around or after
    20Z, when 30+ F T/Td spreads will be in place. High-based multicells
    will be the likely storm mode, as strong northwesterly flow aloft
    will contribute to elongated, straight hodographs. The strongest
    storms may produce hail and severe wind gusts on an isolated basis.

    ...Southern Florida...
    A couple of stronger storms with gusty winds could again occur
    today, mainly across the southeast part of the Florida Peninsula
    this afternoon. Any severe threat should remain relatively marginal
    and localized given the overall setup and thermodynamic environment.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may develop across parts of Kansas
    late this afternoon and early evening, with hail and locally severe
    wind gusts possible.

    ...Kansas...
    A strong upper trough/low over the northern Plains and south-central
    Canada will move eastward today towards the Upper Midwest/Great
    Lakes, and eventually spread into Ontario by late tonight. At the
    surface, an occluded low will develop eastward in tandem with the
    upper trough/low, while a cold front extending southwestward into
    the central Plains continues moving slowly southward through this
    evening. Limited low-level moisture is expected to exist ahead of
    the front by late this afternoon across KS, with late morning
    surface observations and short-term guidance both suggesting surface
    dewpoints will likely remain in the mid 30s to no more than mid 40s.
    A well-mixed boundary layer will likely develop with ample daytime
    heating across the narrow warm sector, with MLCAPE perhaps peaking
    in the 250-500 J/kg range around 21-23Z in parts of western/central
    KS. MLCIN is forecast to become minimal in this time frame, and weak
    low-level convergence along the front may be enough to aid isolated thunderstorm development across this area.

    While stronger flow aloft associated with the upper-level trough/low
    will remain displaced to the north of KS, modest enhancement to the
    mid-level westerlies may still support around 25-35 kt of deep-layer
    shear. This should be sufficient for some updraft organization with
    any thunderstorms that can develop and be sustained. The primary
    uncertainty remains how many thunderstorms will form given overall
    modest large-scale ascent amid weak instability. Still, some risk
    for isolated hail and locally severe gusts remains apparent with the
    strongest multicell cores. The Marginal Risk has been maintained
    across KS with no changes.

    ...Central/South Florida...
    20-30 kt mid-level westerlies will overlie weak low-level easterlies
    today across parts of the central/southern Florida Peninsula.
    Resultant modest effective bulk shear would conditionally support
    updraft organization, but poor mid-level lapse rates noted on the
    12Z TBW and KEY observed soundings should generally limit updraft
    strength. Still, isolated to locally scattered thunderstorms should
    develop this afternoon, and preferentially focus along/near the
    Atlantic Coast sea breeze. Small hail and gusty winds may occur with
    the strongest cores, but the overall severe threat appears too
    limited/isolated to include any probabilities at this time.

    Valid 082000Z - 091200Z

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN
    AND CENTRAL KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may develop across parts of Kansas
    late this afternoon and early evening, with hail and locally severe
    wind gusts possible.

    ...20z Update KS...
    The prior outlook remains valid with no changes. High-based
    thunderstorms remain possible late this afternoon and this evening
    ahead of the cold front in western and central KS. Steep low and
    mid-level lapse rates should be sufficient for modest
    destabilization amid limited boundary-layer moisture (dewpoints in
    the 40s F). Despite the limited buoyancy, a few stronger multi-cell
    clusters capable of isolated severe gusts and some small hail are
    possible.

    Elsewhere, isolated thunderstorms remain possible across parts of
    FL, the West Coast and northern Plains through tonight. Weak
    buoyancy and poor overlap with vertical shear should limit severe
    potential. See the previous discussion for more information.

    ...Kansas...
    A strong upper trough/low over the northern Plains and south-central
    Canada will move eastward today towards the Upper Midwest/Great
    Lakes, and eventually spread into Ontario by late tonight. At the
    surface, an occluded low will develop eastward in tandem with the
    upper trough/low, while a cold front extending southwestward into
    the central Plains continues moving slowly southward through this
    evening. Limited low-level moisture is expected to exist ahead of
    the front by late this afternoon across KS, with late morning
    surface observations and short-term guidance both suggesting surface
    dewpoints will likely remain in the mid 30s to no more than mid 40s.
    A well-mixed boundary layer will likely develop with ample daytime
    heating across the narrow warm sector, with MLCAPE perhaps peaking
    in the 250-500 J/kg range around 21-23Z in parts of western/central
    KS. MLCIN is forecast to become minimal in this time frame, and weak
    low-level convergence along the front may be enough to aid isolated thunderstorm development across this area.

    While stronger flow aloft associated with the upper-level trough/low
    will remain displaced to the north of KS, modest enhancement to the
    mid-level westerlies may still support around 25-35 kt of deep-layer

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CENTRAL/NORTHEAST
    KANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Areas of hail and strong wind gusts are expected this afternoon and
    evening in parts of the lower to mid Missouri Valley westward into
    Kansas. Locally very large hail is possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-level pattern across the US today will consist of a
    deepening trough across the Western US with enhanced westerly flow
    extending across the central/northern US within the base of a
    broader upper-low across portions of Canada. Within the broad area
    of westerly flow, several disturbances will rotate across the
    northern Plains into the Great Lakes Region.

    At the surface, a warm front will lift northward through the day
    across the central Plains, extending as far north as southern NE/IA.
    As a surface high builds to the north across the Dakotas, this
    boundary will sag southward as a cold front through the late
    afternoon/evening. Scattered thunderstorm development is expected
    along this east/west oriented boundary and as well across the
    dryline further west into the OK/TX Panhandles. The primary threat
    will be for large to very large hail and damaging wind. A more
    isolated risk for large hail will extend southward across the
    dryline into western Kansas/OK/TX Panhandles.

    ...Central Plains...
    South of the aforementioned boundary across central KS into
    southeastern NE, low to mid-50s dew points in combination with
    strong daytime heating will yield moderate MLCAPE values around
    1000-1500 J/kg. Thunderstorm activity should develop along the warm
    front around 18z and increase with the incoming upper-level wave and
    cooling aloft. Forecast soundings along and south of the boundary in
    Kansas depict steep low to mid-level lapse rates (7-8 C/km) and deep
    layer shear around 40 kts, supportive of supercells capable of large
    to very large hail(some 2+ inches in diameter)and severe wind. The
    Slight was extended southward into central Kansas to account for
    potential for development into this region and continuation of the
    large to very large hail threat.

    With west to northwest winds aloft, all these storms may eventually
    merge into the evening, propagating southeastward across much of
    eastern KS into northwest MO. The warm boundary layer, combined with
    cold downdraft material, will likely support scattered damaging
    gusts.

    ...Northern California/Oregon Coasts...
    As the upper-level low approaches the West Coast, forcing for ascent
    will overspread portions of northern California into southern Oregon
    with scattered thunderstorm development expected by the late
    morning/afternoon. Sufficient moisture and MLCAPE will extend inland overlapping deep layer shear 20-25 kts and steep low to mid-level
    lapse rates to support potential for strong to severe wind gusts. As
    such, a 5% wind area was introduced with this outlook to cover this
    potential. Some instances of small hail will also be possible, owing
    to steep lapse rates and cooling temperatures aloft.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
    PLAINS AND LOWER/MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms capable of large hail and severe wind gusts are
    expected late this afternoon and evening across Kansas, southeast
    Nebraska into northwest Missouri and southwest Iowa. Isolated severe
    storms may also occur across the south-central High Plains and
    northern California/western Oregon.

    ...Central Plains and Lower/Middle Missouri Valley...
    A frontal zone will focus and shift northward toward across Kansas
    toward the Kansas/Nebraska and Iowa/Missouri border vicinities
    today, before gradually accelerating southeastward tonight. The
    region will be influenced later today by a secondary shortwave
    trough digging southeastward over the northern Plains, with the
    persistence of cyclonic and somewhat strengthening mid/upper-level
    flow. On the nose of south-southwesterly lower tropospheric winds,
    low-level moisture will diurnally increase along/south of the front,
    offset by ample mixing across Kansas, resulting in surface dewpoints
    mainly in the lower/middle 50s F into peak heating. Beneath very
    steep mid-level lapse rates, 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE values are
    expected near/south of the front.

    After some early day thunderstorms, more intense surface-based
    thunderstorm development should occur as early as 22-23z/5-6pm CDT
    near the boundary including portions of northern Kansas/southeast
    Nebraska to the Iowa/Missouri border region, with other more
    isolated and higher-based storms possible across western Kansas and
    the nearby High Plains in vicinity of the lee trough/surface low.

    Moderately strong westerlies will reside along/north of the
    boundary, with 40+ kt effective shear supporting supercells capable
    of large hail, potentially some in excess of 2 inches in diameter.
    Some tornado potential may exist mainly across northeast Kansas/far
    southeast Nebraska and northwest Missouri near the boundary, but
    this overall potential will tend to be mitigated by modest-caliber
    moisture and the influence of diurnal mixing. Severe winds are also
    possible into evening as storms tend to cluster and spread/increase east-southeastward during the evening, although the modest early
    season moisture and nocturnal influences will lead to a diminished
    intensity trend into late evening.

    ...Northern California/western Oregon...
    As the upper-level low approaches the West Coast, forcing for ascent
    will overspread portions of northern California into southern Oregon
    with scattered thunderstorm development expected into afternoon.
    Sufficient moisture and CAPE will exist inland beneath strengthening
    deep-layer southwesterly winds ahead of the trough. As lapse rates
    steepen and flow aloft increases, storms may be capable of strong to
    severe wind gusts and possibly some hail.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    KANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and severe wind
    gusts are expected late this afternoon and evening across parts of
    Kansas, southeast Nebraska, and northwest Missouri. Isolated severe thunderstorms may also occur across portions of the south-central
    High Plains and northern California/southwest Oregon.

    ...Southern High Plains into the Central Plains and Lower/Mid
    Missouri Valley...
    Ongoing precipitation/thunderstorms and related cloud cover across north-central/northeast KS into southeast NE/southwest IA is being
    aided by modest low-level warm/moist advection in the vicinity of a
    surface front. Current expectations are for this activity to
    gradually diminish in coverage as it shifts eastward into the
    northwest MO/southern IA. In its wake, daytime heating may be
    hampered a bit by residual cloudiness across much of
    north-central/northeast KS. Even so, continued northward low-level
    moisture advection is anticipated across the southern/central Plains
    through the afternoon, with surface dewpoints generally in the upper
    40s to low/mid 50s. This, coupled with steep mid-level lapse rates
    and cold temperatures aloft, will aid in the development of moderate instability (MLCAPE around 1000-1500 J/kg) along/south of a front
    draped generally west to east across northern KS/MO.

    Stronger ascent aloft and enhanced westerly flow at mid/upper levels
    will remain mostly displaced to the north of the central Plains
    today, as multiple mid-level perturbations rotate through mean
    mid/upper-level troughing over central/eastern Canada. Still, most
    guidance continues to suggest that minimal MLCIN will exist in the
    vicinity of the front in north-central/northeast KS and southeast NE
    by 22-23Z as surface temperatures warm into the 70s/low 80s.
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across
    this area by late afternoon/early evening, with modest
    south-southwesterly low-level winds veering to west-northwesterly at
    mid/upper levels supporting 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear.

    Initial convective development will likely be supercellular and pose
    a threat for mainly large hail (isolated 2+ inches in diameter
    possible). Fairly large surface temperature-dewpoint spreads with a
    well-mixed boundary layer and related high cloud bases render
    considerable uncertainty regarding tornado potential. But, some risk
    for a tornado or two may focus along/near the front through early
    evening as effective SRH gradually increases in tandem with a
    strengthening south-southwesterly low-level jet. Otherwise, the risk
    for severe/damaging winds may gradually increase through mid evening
    as thunderstorms tend to cluster/grow modestly upscale. But, the
    severe wind risk will likely become more limited by late evening
    with the loss of daytime heating and increasing MLCIN with
    southward/eastward extent.

    Isolated thunderstorms may also develop this afternoon farther
    southwest across the central/southern High Plains along and east of
    a sharpening surface dryline/lee trough. Overall convective coverage
    remains highly uncertain given nebulous/weak large-scale ascent this
    far south. Still, some risk for occasional hail and severe gusts
    should exist with any sustained cells or clusters that can develop
    and spread east-southeastward through the late afternoon/early
    evening.

    ...Northern California/Southwest Oregon...
    As an upper-level low over the eastern Pacific approaches the West
    Coast today, large-scale ascent will overspread portions of northern
    CA into southern OR with scattered thunderstorm development expected
    into afternoon. Sufficient moisture and instability should exist
    inland beneath strengthening deep-layer southwesterly winds ahead of
    the trough to support semi-organized convection. As low-level lapse
    rates gradually steepen and flow aloft increases, this activity may
    be capable of producing isolated strong to severe gusts and possibly
    some hail.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and severe wind
    gusts are expected late this afternoon and evening across parts of
    Kansas, southeast Nebraska, and northwest Missouri. Isolated severe thunderstorms may also occur across portions of the south-central
    High Plains and northern California/southwest Oregon.

    ...20z Update central and southern Plains...
    Thunderstorm development remains likely late this afternoon and this
    evening along the frontal zone from southern NE into northeast KS.
    While remnant cloud cover has slowed destabilization, sufficient
    buoyancy and supercell wind profiles will likely support a risk for
    hail, damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado or two this
    afternoon/evening. See MCD #367 for specific short-term information.

    Farther south along the trailing surface trough/dryline, more
    isolated thunderstorm development is expected across the TX
    Panhandle and far eastern NM. High cloud bases with deep inverted-v
    structures could support isolated severe wind gusts with the heavier
    cores. Storm coverage is likely to decrease farther south where
    weaker forcing and overall more limited buoyancy is present. Still,
    isolated storms are possible, and the 5% wind area was expanded
    southward slightly for the latest hi-res guidance.

    ...CA and OR...
    East of an upper low, broad-scale ascent over a modestly warm/moist
    air mass was supporting widely scattered thunderstorms over portions
    of northern CA and southern OR. While overall buoyancy is weak
    (generally below 500 J/kg of MLCAPE), strengthening southerly flow
    aloft could support a few organized clusters or transient supercells
    capable of producing isolated strong to severe gusts and some hail.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL/NORTHEAST KS INTO FAR SOUTHEAST NE/NORTHWEST MO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and severe wind
    gusts remain possible this evening across parts of Kansas, southeast
    Nebraska, and northwest Missouri.

    ...Central/southern Plains...
    Scattered strong to severe storms have developed this evening from
    southwest into north-central KS and far southern NE this evening,
    near/south of a southward-moving cold front, and along/east of a
    weak dryline. Despite modest low-level moisture (with warm-sector
    dewpoints generally in the low 50s F), steep midlevel lapse rates
    and relatively cold temperatures aloft are supporting MLCAPE of
    1000-1500 J/kg, within a moderately sheared environment.

    A few relatively high-based supercells remain possible through the
    evening, with an attendant threat of large hail (potentially
    golf-ball-sized or larger) and localized severe gusts. A tornado
    also cannot be ruled out across north-central/northeast KS, as
    low-level moisture/shear gradually improve in conjunction with a
    nocturnal low-level jet. Otherwise, some upscale growth remains
    possible with time, which could result in at least an isolated
    severe-wind threat spreading across parts of northeast KS and
    northwest MO later tonight, before the threat diminishes in response
    to increasing MLCINH. See MCD 370 and MD 371 for more information
    regarding the short-term severe threat in this area.

    ...Northwest CA/southwest OR vicinity...
    A few strong storms remain possible through early evening across
    parts of northwest CA and southwest OR, in association with an upper
    low off of the northern CA coast. Any remaining severe threat should
    tend to diminish with time, as already weak buoyancy further
    decreases due to convective overturning and nocturnal stabilization.

    ...CA Central Valley...
    Isolated strong storms have recently developed across parts of the
    CA central valley, with a supercell noted northwest of Fresno. While
    deep-layer flow is rather weak, MUCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg and modest
    veering of the wind profile could support a very isolated threat of
    gusty winds and small to marginally severe hail, though coverage and
    duration of the threat are expected to remain limited.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE OZARKS...NORTHERN NV INTO SOUTHEAST
    OR/SOUTHWEST ID...AND PARTS OF CENTRAL CA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts will be
    possible this afternoon and evening from parts of the south-central
    Plains into the Ozarks. Strong to locally severe storms may also
    occur from northern Nevada into southeast Oregon and southwest
    Idaho, and also across parts of central California.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move from the Great Lakes
    region toward New England through the period. Upstream, a mid/upper
    low initially offshore of California will move inland toward the
    Great Basin as a shortwave trough, as another mid/upper
    shortwave/low approaches the Pacific Coast.

    ...Parts of the south-central Plains into the Ozarks...
    In the wake of morning elevated convection, an outflow-reinforced
    cold front is expected to become nearly stationary this afternoon
    and early evening. Steep midlevel lapse rates and rather cool
    temperatures aloft will support MLCAPE of near/above 1500 J/kg
    along/south of the front, with minimal MLCINH by afternoon.
    Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop by late afternoon in
    the vicinity of the boundary across parts of southern KS/northern OK
    into the Ozarks, with additional development possible near the front
    and within a post-frontal regime across the south-central High
    Plains vicinity.

    With rather modest large-scale ascent and weak deep-layer flow
    forecast across the region, storm organization and duration may
    generally remain somewhat limited. However, more organized cells may
    briefly develop on an isolated basis near the boundary, where some
    enhancement to effective shear/SRH will be possible. Isolated large
    hail appears to be the most likely hazard, though localized
    strong/damaging gusts also cannot be ruled out with the strongest
    storms.

    ...Northern NV into southeast OR/southwest ID and central/northern
    CA...
    In response to the approaching mid/upper low and shortwave trough,
    scattered thunderstorm development is expected this afternoon across
    parts of central/northern CA into the northern Great Basin and
    interior Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft and rather strong
    diurnal heating will result in steep low/midlevel lapse rates and
    MUCAPE increasing to near/above 500 J/kg, despite limited low-level
    moisture.

    Midlevel flow and deep-layer shear will gradually increase with
    time, with the most favorable overlap of shear and instability
    currently expected from northern NV into southeast OR/southwest ID.
    Modestly organized cells/clusters and perhaps a couple of supercells
    may develop in this area, with an attendant threat of hail and
    localized severe gusts.

    A few strong storms may also develop across parts of the Sacramento
    and northern San Joaquin Valleys in California. While deep-layer
    shear will be somewhat less favorable compared to the northern Great
    Basin area, cold temperatures aloft (near/below -20C at 500 mb) may
    support potential for marginally severe hail with the strongest
    storms. Local terrain influences could also support transient cell organization/rotation and possibly a brief tornado, though this
    potential remains very uncertain at this time.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS/OZARKS AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/GREAT
    BASIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts are possible
    this afternoon and evening across parts of the south-central Plains
    to the Ozarks. Strong to locally severe storms may also occur from western/northern Nevada into southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho,
    and also across parts of north-central California.

    ...South-central Plains/Ozarks...
    Scattered rain and generally weak thunderstorms will continue to
    accompany and reinforce a southward-shifting front, with the
    boundary stalling today, before starting to shift back northward
    late tonight. Weakening flow aloft will occur today in the presence
    of a building upper ridge and corresponding height rises. As
    outflows dissipate, ample heating/mixing is expected later today to
    the south of the front, where MLCAPE values may exceed 1500 J/kg
    across Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle and northeast New Mexico.

    Even with modest overall forcing for ascent, scattered thunderstorms
    are expected to develop by late afternoon in the vicinity of the
    boundary across parts of far southern Kansas/northern Oklahoma into
    the Ozarks, with additional development possible near the front, and
    also within a post-frontal regime across the south-central High
    Plains vicinity.

    With rather modest large-scale ascent and weak deep-layer flow
    across the region, storm organization and duration may generally
    remain somewhat limited. However, more organized cells may briefly
    develop on an isolated basis more immediately near the boundary,
    where some enhancement to effective shear/SRH will be possible.
    Isolated large hail appears to be the most likely hazard, although
    localized strong/damaging wind gusts could also occur.

    ...Nevada/southeast OR/southwest ID and north-central CA...
    A closed upper low off the coast of northern California will open
    and become more progressive, reaching the Sierra and parts of the
    Great Basin tonight. Related forcing for ascent and moisture will
    influence scattered thunderstorm development this afternoon across
    parts of central/northern California into the northern Great Basin
    and interior Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft and rather strong
    diurnal heating will result in steep low/mid-level lapse rates and
    MUCAPE increasing to near/above 500 J/kg.

    Mid-level flow and deep-layer shear will gradually increase over
    time, with the most favorable overlap of vertical shear and
    instability expected across western/northern Nevada into southeast
    Oregon and southwest Idaho. Semi-organized cells/clusters, and
    perhaps even a few supercells, may develop with an attendant threat
    of hail and localized severe wind gusts.

    A few locally severe storms may also develop across parts of the
    Sacramento and northern San Joaquin Valleys in California this
    afternoon. While deep-layer shear will be somewhat weaker as
    compared to the northern Great Basin, cold temperatures aloft
    (near/below -20C at 500 mb) may support marginally severe hail with
    the strongest storms. The steep lapse rate environment and local
    terrain influences could also support transient cell rotation and
    possibly funnels, or even a brief tornado, although this potential
    currently seems low/uncertain.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS/OZARKS...NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/GREAT
    BASIN...AND WESTERN OREGON...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts are possible
    this afternoon and evening across parts of the south-central Plains
    to the Ozarks. Strong to locally severe storms may also occur from western/northern Nevada into southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho,
    and also across parts of north-central California.

    ...Southern High Plains/South-central Plains into the Ozarks...
    Recent surface analysis places a low over the western TX Panhandle,
    with a cold front extending east-northeastward from this low across
    northwest and north-central OK, and far southeast KS, before
    becoming oriented more northeastward across southern and central MO.
    Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing in the vicinity of this
    boundary, as well modest southeastward-progressing outflow, across
    far southern KS and northern OK.

    The cold front is forecast to trend more stationary throughout the
    day as heights rise across the Plains and southerly low-level flow
    persists across the southern Plains, with the outflow following this
    trend as well. After 06Z, this stationary boundary will likely begin
    shifting back northward into southern KS as warm front. Additional
    thunderstorm development is possible amid low-level convergence near
    both the stationary front and outflow as the airmass modestly
    destabilizes this afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts and/or
    marginally severe hail is possible with the strongest storms, but
    modest shear and buoyancy suggests most storms will be sub-severe.

    Farther west, low-level convergence along a sharpening lee trough
    may contribute to late afternoon thunderstorm development across the
    southern High Plain, particularly northeast NM. High cloud bases and
    steep low-level lapse rates support the potential for strong
    downbursts with any deep/more persistent updrafts. Some interaction
    with the western extent of the frontal zone is possible as well,
    which could briefly enhance updrafts, contributing to a continued
    potential for damaging gusts as well as isolated hail.

    ...North-central CA/western OR into the northern Great Basin...
    Upper low currently centered just off the northern/central CA coast
    is forecast to become more progressive and negatively tilted
    throughout the day today. Mid-level moisture and ascent attendant to
    this wave will support scattered thunderstorm development this
    afternoon from central/northern CA and western OR into the northern
    Great Basin and interior Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft (i.e.
    -20 deg C at 500 mb) and strong diurnal heating will result in steep low/mid-level lapse rates and at least modest buoyancy across much
    of the region.

    A few areas (interior valley of central CA, Willamette Valley in OR,
    and northern NV/southwest OR/southern ID) appear to have a slightly
    higher potential for isolated strong to severe storms, largely a
    result of more diurnal heating/higher afternoon temperatures.
    Greater buoyancy combined with moderate/strong deep-layer shear will
    support semi-organized cells/clusters, and perhaps even a few
    supercells, may develop with an attendant threat of hail and
    localized severe wind gusts. Deep-layer shear will be a bit weaker
    across the interior valley of central CA but still sufficient for a
    few organized storms. The steep lapse rate environment and local
    terrain influences could also support transient cell rotation and
    possibly funnels, or even a brief tornado.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    OREGON...THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA...THE GREAT BASIN AND
    SOUTHERN PLAINS/OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts remain
    possible this afternoon and evening across parts of the
    south-central Plains to the Ozarks. Strong to locally severe storms
    may also occur from western/northern Nevada into southeast Oregon
    and southwest Idaho, and also across parts of north-central
    California.

    ...20z Update...
    Minimal changes were made to the prior outlook. A prominent
    differential heating/outflow boundary associated with a cluster of thunderstorms over OK is forecast to continue sagging southward this
    afternoon. An increase in storm coverage is possible this afternoon
    and evening associated with the ongoing cluster and the trailing
    boundary. With moderate buoyancy weak vertical shear, a low-end risk
    for damaging gusts and hail could develop. 5% wind and hail
    probabilities have been expanded slightly farther southeastward.

    To the West across the Great Basin, strong mid-level ascent ahead of
    the upper low over the Pacific Coast was overspreading a marginally
    moist and buoyant air mass across parts of NV. Strong southerly flow
    aloft could support a few semi-organized storms or clusters capable
    of damaging gusts and sporadic hail. 5% wind and hail probabilities
    have been expanded southward over parts of NV where buoyancy and
    shear overlap could support some severe potential.

    Otherwise, isolated severe storms remain possible across parts of
    the central Valley of CA and western OR. The forecast remains
    unchanged, see the prior discussion for more information.

    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026/

    ...Southern High Plains/South-central Plains into the Ozarks...
    Recent surface analysis places a low over the western TX Panhandle,
    with a cold front extending east-northeastward from this low across
    northwest and north-central OK, and far southeast KS, before
    becoming oriented more northeastward across southern and central MO.
    Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing in the vicinity of this
    boundary, as well modest southeastward-progressing outflow, across
    far southern KS and northern OK.

    The cold front is forecast to trend more stationary throughout the
    day as heights rise across the Plains and southerly low-level flow
    persists across the southern Plains, with the outflow following this
    trend as well. After 06Z, this stationary boundary will likely begin
    shifting back northward into southern KS as warm front. Additional
    thunderstorm development is possible amid low-level convergence near
    both the stationary front and outflow as the airmass modestly
    destabilizes this afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts and/or
    marginally severe hail is possible with the strongest storms, but
    modest shear and buoyancy suggests most storms will be sub-severe.

    Farther west, low-level convergence along a sharpening lee trough
    may contribute to late afternoon thunderstorm development across the
    southern High Plain, particularly northeast NM. High cloud bases and
    steep low-level lapse rates support the potential for strong
    downbursts with any deep/more persistent updrafts. Some interaction
    with the western extent of the frontal zone is possible as well,
    which could briefly enhance updrafts, contributing to a continued
    potential for damaging gusts as well as isolated hail.

    ...North-central CA/western OR into the northern Great Basin...
    Upper low currently centered just off the northern/central CA coast
    is forecast to become more progressive and negatively tilted
    throughout the day today. Mid-level moisture and ascent attendant to
    this wave will support scattered thunderstorm development this
    afternoon from central/northern CA and western OR into the northern
    Great Basin and interior Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft (i.e.
    -20 deg C at 500 mb) and strong diurnal heating will result in steep low/mid-level lapse rates and at least modest buoyancy across much
    of the region.

    A few areas (interior valley of central CA, Willamette Valley in OR,
    and northern NV/southwest OR/southern ID) appear to have a slightly
    higher potential for isolated strong to severe storms, largely a
    result of more diurnal heating/higher afternoon temperatures.
    Greater buoyancy combined with moderate/strong deep-layer shear will
    support semi-organized cells/clusters, and perhaps even a few
    supercells, may develop with an attendant threat of hail and
    localized severe wind gusts. Deep-layer shear will be a bit weaker
    across the interior valley of central CA but still sufficient for a
    few organized storms. The steep lapse rate environment and local
    terrain influences could also support transient cell rotation and
    possibly funnels, or even a brief tornado.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain possible during the late
    evening hours across parts of the southern Plains and Great Basin;
    however, the overall severe risk appears limited.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Latest MRMS imagery depicts steady weakening of convection across
    northeast NM and across northern OK with the onset of nocturnal
    cooling and expanding convective outflows. While a couple of
    stronger storms are noted across far eastern NM and southwest TX,
    weak deep-layer wind shear and diminishing buoyancy should favor a
    weakening trend heading into the late evening hours.

    Additional elevated thunderstorms are anticipated well north of the
    stalled surface boundary along the OK/KS border with recent CAM
    guidance suggesting multi-cell clusters developing across portions
    of central to northeast KS after 03 UTC. The recent 00z DDC RAOB
    likely sampled the environment this convection will develop in, and
    hints that at least a small hail threat may materialize with
    initially discrete cells prior to upscale growth within the first
    couple of hours after initiation.

    ...Great Basin...
    Similar to the southern Plains, convective trends have largely shown
    signs of weakening over the past hour across central to northern NV
    where surface temperatures are quickly cooling into the 60s. The
    combination of rain-cooled air/outflows and the onset of nocturnal
    cooling should further reduce any remaining mixed-layer buoyancy
    (which was already fairly marginal per regional 00z RAOBs).
    Consequently, the thermodynamic environment no longer appears
    supportive of intense convection, though a strong storm or two may
    persist for the next hour as the boundary layer continues to
    stabilize.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms producing hail and strong wind gusts will be
    possible across portions of the southern High Plains this afternoon
    and evening. More isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are
    expected across parts of the central Rockies, central Plains, upper
    Mississippi Valley, and portions of the California coast.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper trough is evident in early-morning water-vapor imagery off
    the California Coast. This wave will gradually de-amplify over the
    next 24 hours as it progresses northeastward into the northern
    Rockies. Further south, a lower-amplitude upper disturbance is noted
    off the coast of Baja CA, and will migrate northeast into southwest
    TX through this evening. Ahead of these features, modest lee
    troughing along the High Plains and the southeastward shift of
    surface high from the Midwest into the upper OH Valley will yield an
    extended fetch of southerly low-level flow from the TX coast into
    the upper MS Valley, resulting in northward moisture return as well
    as a broad zone of isentropic ascent from the Plains into the upper
    MS Valley.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Thunderstorm development appears likely by mid-afternoon across
    southwest TX as ascent associated with the upper disturbance off the
    coast of Baja CA migrates out of northern Mexico and overspreads
    returning moisture. Initially discrete cells are likely and will
    pose a threat for large hail given adequate deep-layer wind shear.
    However, weak capping and strong ascent should promote upscale
    growth by early evening into one or more convective lines. As this
    transition occurs, strong to severe wind gusts will become the
    predominant hazard, though an embedded circulation or two may be
    possible. Based on latest guidance, the wind/tornado threat may be
    maximized along and south of the I-20 corridor where the signal for clustering/banding is greatest in latest CAM and ensemble guidance.

    ...Central Plains to the Upper MS Valley...
    Low-level warm air advection will likely become increasingly focused
    through the day and into the overnight hours from the central Plains
    into the upper MS Valley. 850 mb winds are forecast to strengthen to
    40-50 knots by this evening and will support steady moistening in
    the lowest 1-2 km under a plume of 7-7.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates.
    Forecast soundings suggest that this environment will be weakly
    capped and should support isolated to scattered thunderstorms during
    the afternoon hours across the central Plains before
    spreading/re-developing northeastward into the upper MS Valley late
    tonight. While deep-layer wind shear will not be overly strong
    (around 30 knots), it should be sufficient for a few transient
    organized cells capable of large hail.

    A more conditional supercell threat may materialize across portions
    of the lower MO valley where some CAM guidance depicts convection
    developing late afternoon along the surface warm front. Forecast
    soundings from this region suggest a weakly capped, but moderately
    buoyant and strongly sheared environment may be in place that could
    support a well-organized supercell. However, poor ensemble consensus
    limits confidence in this scenario.

    ...Central to northern Rockies...
    00z RAOBs from the Great Basin/Four Corners region sampled steep
    mid-level lapse rates with modest mid-level moisture. While fairly
    dry, this environment was sufficient for convection yesterday and
    will likely support additional thunderstorms across the central to
    northern Rockies this afternoon as diurnal heating erodes inhibition
    and maximizes surface-based buoyancy. Ascent ahead of the decaying
    upper wave will likely support isolated to scattered thunderstorms,
    and a combination of modest deep-layer wind shear and deep,
    well-mixed boundary layers will promote strong to severe downburst
    winds. A fairly strong wind signal in latest HREF guidance
    co-located with transient UH streaks lent enough confidence to
    expand 5% wind probabilities northwestward to address this concern.

    ...CA Coast...
    A progressive upper wave will move into northern CA late this
    afternoon into the overnight hours. As this occurs, ascent within
    the left-exit region of an attendant upper jet, coupled with cool
    mid-level temperatures near the center of the upper low, should
    support isolated thunderstorms across northern CA. Winds within the
    lowest 1-2 km should increase to around 40 knots as the wave moves
    onshore, which may be augmented by convective downdrafts to yield a
    few damaging gusts along the coast.

    possible across portions of the southern High Plains this afternoon
    and evening. More isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are
    expected across parts of the central Rockies, central Plains, upper
    Mississippi Valley, and portions of the California coast.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    Thunderstorm development is likely by mid/late-afternoon across
    southwest Texas and eastern New Mexico as increase forcing for
    ascent overspreads modest but increasing low-level moisture.
    Initially discrete cells are likely and will pose a threat for large
    hail given adequate deep-layer wind shear /generally 30-40 kt/.
    However, weak capping and strong ascent should promote upscale
    growth by early evening into several linear clusters. As this
    transition occurs, strong to severe wind gust potential will
    increase and become the predominant hazard, though an embedded
    circulation or two may occur with a tornado possible.

    ...Central Plains to the Upper Mississippi Valley...
    Low-level warm air advection will likely become increasingly focused
    through the day and into the overnight hours from the central Plains
    into the upper Mississippi Valley. 850 mb winds are forecast to
    steadily strengthen to 40-60 kt by this evening and will support
    moistening in the lowest 1-2 km under a plume of 7-7.5 C/km
    mid-level lapse rates. Forecast soundings suggest that this
    environment will be weakly capped and should support isolated to
    widely scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon hours across the
    central Plains before spreading/re-developing northeastward into the
    upper Mississippi Valley late tonight. While deep-layer wind shear
    will not be overly strong (around 30 kt), it should be sufficient
    for a few organized cells capable of severe hail.

    A more conditional supercell potential may materialize by mid/late
    afternoon through early evening across portions of the middle/lower
    Missouri Valley near/just south of the northward-shifting surface
    warm front, which may augmented by residual cloud cover/weakening
    storms across northeast Kansas/far southeast Nebraska in the
    pre-dawn hours. Forecast soundings from this region suggest a weakly
    capped, but moderately buoyant airmass, with notably strong low-level/deep-layer wind profiles that would conditionally support
    supercells including some tornado risk.

    ...Central/northern Rockies...
    A northeast-ejecting shortwave trough, along with steep mid-level
    lapse rates and modest mid-level moisture, will likely support
    additional thunderstorms across the central to northern Rockies this
    afternoon as diurnal heating occurs. A combination of modest
    deep-layer wind shear and well-mixed boundary layers will support
    potential for strong to severe downburst winds.

    ...Northern/central California Coast...
    A progressive upper wave will continue eastward and reach the
    northern California coast tonight. As this occurs, ascent within
    the left-exit region of an attendant upper jet, coupled with cool
    mid-level temperatures near the center of the upper low, will
    support isolated thunderstorms across northern/central California.
    Winds within the lowest 1-2 km AGL should increase to around 40 kt
    as the wave moves onshore, which will contribute to the potential
    for convective downdrafts to produce a few locally damaging wind
    gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms producing hail and strong wind gusts are
    possible across portions of the southern High Plains this afternoon
    and evening. More isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are
    expected across parts of the central Rockies, central Plains, upper
    Mississippi Valley, and portions of the California coast.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery reveals two shortwave troughs, one moving
    through the Great Basin and the other moving into central Mexico,
    progressing through the southwesterly flow aloft between the
    subtropical ridging that extends through the Southeast states and a
    deep upper low off the central West Coast. Steep mid-level lapse
    rates precede the northern shortwave (i.e. from the northern/central
    Rockies northeastward) and low-level moisture continues to advect
    northward across the southern and central Plains. Both of these
    factors will increase buoyancy ahead of these two shortwaves, which
    are expected to become increasingly phased as they progress
    northeastward throughout the day. This evolution will support a
    large area of thunderstorms from the northern Rockies through the
    southern Plains this afternoon/evening. Environmental conditions
    support strong to isolated severe thunderstorms across these areas,
    with a relatively higher chance of severe from the southern High
    Plains into central TX and along the eastern NE/KS border vicinity.

    Additionally, the West Coast upper low is forecast to progress east-southeastward into southern OR and northern/central CA this
    evening and overnight, supporting the potential for thunderstorms, a
    few of which could be strong.

    ...Southern High Plains into Central Texas...
    Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop this
    afternoon across the southern High Plains as a shortwave trough
    lifts out of central Mexico and interacts with the moist and
    modestly buoyant airmass in places over the region. A few initially
    discrete storms are possible, and adequate deep-layer wind shear
    around 35 kt could result in a few instances of severe hail.
    However, weak capping and strong ascent should promote increasing
    thunderstorm coverage, resulting in a transition to a more clustered
    storm mode. Eventual evolution into one or more line segments is
    possible, particularly over southwest TX as low-level flow
    nocturnally strengthens and low-level moisture increases. As this
    transition occurs, damaging gust potential will become the
    predominant hazard. The strengthening low-level flow will also
    lengthen low-level hodograph, supporting the potential for an
    embedded circulation or two, particularly along the southern extent
    of whatever line develops.

    ...Central Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley...
    Recent surface analysis places a warm front across central KS. This
    warm front is forecast to progress northward throughout the day amid
    persistent southerly flow and resulting moderate/strong low-level
    moisture advection. Given the ongoing cloud cover across the region,
    as well as the showers and thunderstorms over northwest MO, there is
    some uncertainty to how this surface boundary will evolve. General
    expectation is for this front to extend from the central NE vicinity
    into north-central MO by this evening.

    Large, looping low-level hodographs are anticipated in the vicinity
    of this warm front. These profiles, along with dewpoints in the
    low/mid 60s and modestly steep mid-level lapse rates, result in an
    environment that is conditionally favorable for supercells. However,
    some capping will likely linger across the region and large-scale
    forcing will be negligible, casting doubt to whether convective
    initiation will be realized. This uncertainty is matched by the CAM
    guidance, none of which establishes meaningful convection during the
    afternoon and evening. All that to say, if an updraft does mature in
    this environment, all severe hazards are possible, including a
    tornado.

    More certain (but less intense) thunderstorm potential is
    anticipated as low-level warm air advection becomes increasingly
    focused from the central Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley
    this evening and overnight. Moderate elevated buoyancy and
    deep-layer shear support the potential for a few stronger updrafts
    capable of hail as thunderstorms expand northeastward from IA into
    the Upper Midwest.

    ...Northern/Central Rockies...
    Scattered thunderstorm development is anticipated across the
    northern and central Rockies, ahead of a shortwave trough
    progressing northeastward into the region. Deep boundary-layer
    mixing ahead of this system coupled with steep mid-level lapse rates
    and moderate deep-layer vertical shear will result in an environment
    that supports the potential for strong to severe gusts across much
    of the region.

    ...Northern/Central California Coast...
    A frontal band, associated with an upper low moving over the
    northern California coast tonight, is expected to progress
    southeastward through the central CA coastal vicinity this evening. Thermodynamic profiles appear marginally supportive of isolated
    convection deep enough to produce lightning. Winds within the lowest
    1-2 km AGL should increase to around 40 kt as the wave moves
    onshore, which will contribute to the potential for convective
    downdrafts to produce a few locally damaging wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms producing hail and strong wind gusts are
    possible across portions of the southern High Plains and into parts
    of Kansas and Nebraska this afternoon and evening. More isolated
    strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the
    central Rockies, upper Mississippi Valley, and portions of the
    California coast.

    ...20z Update KS/NE...
    An MCV evident in visible imagery over southwest/central KS is
    forecast to shift northeastward this afternoon toward a differential
    heating zone associated with a modifying remnant outflow boundary
    across northern KS and southern NE. Ample heating south of this zone
    has warmed temperatures ~5-7 degree above model guidance, with
    observation trends suggestive of locally stronger buoyancy and
    vertical shear on modified 12 and 18z RAOBs (1500-2000 J/kg of
    MLCAPE). While overall mid-level flow is modest, some enhancement in
    the low and mid-levels ahead of the MCV is also evident in area
    VADs, bolstering bulk shear to 30-35 kt. Backed low-level winds
    along the retreating boundary are also aiding in maintaining sizable
    clockwise curved low-level hodographs. This could support the
    development of small supercell structures with potential to produce
    tornadoes, particularly near and just north of the retreating
    outflow boundary, and perhaps in close proximity to the MCV.

    Otherwise, some hail and localized strong wind gusts are possible
    with any more robust storms able to develop and maintain themselves
    into this evening. Deep-layer shear is progged to increase after
    dark, as a 40-50 kt low-level jet develops, supporting an increase
    in storm coverage along and north of the boundary tonight. Hail and
    damaging winds would be the primary threats. Given the local
    increase in severe potential, a small zone ahead of the MCV and
    along the boundary has been upgraded to a level 2/5 Slight Risk.

    ...TX and NM...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms remain likely tonight
    across West TX, the Rio Grand Valley and southeastern NM.
    Eventually, one ore more lines or clusters may emerge and spread
    east/northeast into central TX/west-central OK. A risk for damaging
    gusts or a tornado remain possible with these storms into early
    Sunday morning. High-res guidance suggests these storms may maintain
    intensity slightly farther east. The 5% wind are was moved eastward
    to account for the overnight/early morning risk for a few damaging
    gusts.

    Elsewhere, severe storms remain possible over parts of the Rockies
    and West Coast. The outlook remains largely unchanged. See the prior
    discussion for additional information.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHERN TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible overnight
    across portions central Texas while more isolated severe
    thunderstorms are expected across the southern and central Plains
    and into the upper Mississippi River Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    Strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible late this evening and
    into the overnight hours across parts of the central CONUS. A lee
    cyclone will continue to deepen across the northern High Plains and
    maintain northward moisture return across the Plains as well as a
    focused zone of strong isentropic ascent across the upper MS Valley.
    Buoyant conditions and modest, but adequate, deep-layer wind shear
    should continue to support the potential for organized convection.

    ...Texas...
    The early stages of MCV development are noted in regional
    reflectivity across the Big Bend region of TX where a convective
    clustering has been focused over the past several hours. The nearby
    00z DRT RAOB recently sampled a 0-6 km bulk shear value on the order
    of 45 knots, which is favorable for organized convection. This
    kinematic environment remains favorable for organized convection and
    could support intensification/organization of a convective line
    associated with the MCV as it migrates eastward into a more
    moist/buoyant environment. This scenario is supported by recent CAM
    guidance, and warrants maintaining/expanding 15% wind probabilities
    downstream of the MCV.

    ...Oklahoma into Kansas...
    Modestly moist and uncapped conditions were recently sampled across
    northern TX and central OK with effective bulk shear values on the
    order of 25 knots. Continued northward moisture advection should
    modulate nocturnal stabilization, and increasing ascent ahead of the
    upper wave emanating out of northern Mexico may support isolated
    strong to severe convection through the late evening and overnight
    hours.

    ...Upper MS Valley...
    VWPs across the Midwest and upper MS Valley all show a strong
    veering within the lowest 1-2 km and a recent uptick in wind speed
    within this layer. Additionally, upstream RAOBs sampled 7-8 C/km
    lapse rates that should be advecting eastward into the region
    through the overnight hours. The combination of continued ascent and
    increasing instability should promote the potential for additional
    elevated convection late tonight with an attendant threat for hail
    approach severe limits.

    ...California...
    The 00z OAK RAOB sampled weak buoyancy with around 150 J/kg SBCAPE.
    However, temperatures near 700 mb should continue to cool through
    the overnight hours with the approach of an upper wave just off the
    coast. Continued ascent within the left-exit region of the attendant
    upper jet will maintain the potential for isolated convection along
    the CA coast and areas inland. Additionally, 35-45 knot flow within
    the lowest few kilometers will likely be maintained through the
    overnight. Given the expectation of a slight increase in buoyancy
    and maintenance of low-level flow, opted to keep the 5% wind risk.

    afternoon and evening across parts of the southern High Plains. More
    isolated severe storms will be possible across portions of the Upper
    Great Lakes and northern Rockies.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning surface observations reveal a surface low developing
    across the northern High Plains with a broad fetch of southerly flow
    from the western Gulf into the Plains and Midwest. This broad warm
    sector characterized by mid 50s to low/mid 60s dewpoints will
    largely remain in place through the day as the surface low
    translates east across the Plains into the Great Lakes region
    tonight. The greatest potential for strong/severe thunderstorms will
    reside within this warm sector where regional forcing for ascent
    will support a chance for deep convection.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Latest 00z HREF/REFS guidance, as well as more recent CAM solutions,
    all show considerable variability in the evolution of an ongoing MCS
    through late morning across southern/southeast TX. While most
    solutions depict a steady weakening trend, others - notably the
    WRF-ARW - hint at some continued wind threat across the TX Coastal
    Plain this morning. Regardless, this activity is forecast to
    diminish by late morning/early afternoon, and will likely leave an
    outflow boundary on the western periphery of the cold pool in its
    wake.

    Dewpoints in the low to mid 60s will quickly return northward in the
    wake of the MCS with ensemble guidance depicting a plume of MLCAPE
    values between 1500-2000 J/kg from central TX into western OK by
    mid-afternoon. Thunderstorm development appears possible along any
    residual outflow boundaries across central TX given weak capping
    depicted in forecast soundings, though confidence in precisely where
    this will occur or how widespread storm coverage will be remains
    fairly uncertain. Thunderstorm initiation off the Sierra Del Carmen
    mountains in northern Mexico and along a weak dryline across
    southern KS southward into western OK/TX appears more probable,
    though again, storm coverage will likely remain fairly isolated
    given weak forcing for ascent and some degree of synoptic-scale
    subsidence in the wake of the upper disturbance currently passing
    over the region.

    Convection that can develop within this buoyant and weakly capped
    environment could become fairly intense given favorable
    thermodynamic profiles. Despite some mid-level backing in forecast
    hodographs, effective bulk shear values appear sufficient for a
    large, to perhaps very large hail threat. However, given the
    aforementioned uncertainties in thunderstorm coverage, 15% hail
    probabilities have been confined to where ensemble guidance depicts
    the best overall convective signal.

    ...Minnesota...
    A lee cyclone evident in recent surface observations over the
    northern High Plains will migrate eastward along the U.S./Canaidan
    border through the day, reaching northern MN by around peak heating.
    A narrow tongue of returning moisture may support a corridor of
    sufficient ascent and buoyancy for deep convection. While latest
    guidance remains somewhat mixed on thunderstorm coverage, forecast
    soundings suggest elevated convection may support a threat for large
    hail. Furthermore, several high-res forecast soundings depict an
    environment favorable for surface-based supercells along the frontal
    zone where dewpoints may reach into the mid/upper 50s. While this
    potential appears very low per recent ensemble guidance, some
    tornado threat could materialize along the front where STP values of
    1-2 may emerge.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    A plume of mid-level moisture (PWATs between 0.4 to 0.5 inches) was
    recently observed in regional 00z RAOBs across the Great Basin
    region. This air mass will largely remain in place over the next 24
    hours ahead of an approaching upper low out of northern CA. This
    mid-level moisture will support another day of fairly modest
    surface-based buoyancy (around 250-500 J/kg SBCAPE), but persistent
    30-40 knot flow within the CAPE-bearing layer combined with somewhat
    deep boundary-layer mixing (LCLs forecast to be around 2 km) may
    support another day of strong to severe downburst winds with the
    more robust convective cells.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today into
    evening mainly across parts of Texas and perhaps other nearby parts
    of the southern Plains. More isolated severe storms may occur across
    portions of the Upper Great Lakes and northern Rockies.

    ...Texas/Southern Plains...
    A rather complex scenario exists early today attributable to several
    factors including an MCS that de-intensified/decayed generally near
    I-35 in Texas overnight, with residual cloud cover and outflow
    impacts. Potentially focused in vicinity of outflow, the passing
    mid-level wave and persistent warm/moist advection may support storm persistence and redevelopment/intensification later today across
    central Texas into parts of east Texas and possibly Louisiana within
    a moderately unstable environment.

    In the wake of the mid-level wave, mid-level height rises/subsidence
    are otherwise anticipated coincident with the dryline from central
    Kansas south-southwestward across western Oklahoma and
    west/southwest Texas. The extent and likelihood of storm development
    later today is highly uncertain, but if/where storms do form, the
    environment would generally be supportive of supercells and related
    hazards given ample buoyancy and moderate deep-layer shear.

    ...Minnesota/Wisconsin...
    A surface low over the northern Plains will migrate eastward along
    the U.S./Canadian border through the day, reaching northern
    Minnesota by around peak heating. A narrow tongue of returning
    moisture may support a corridor of sufficient ascent and buoyancy
    for deep convection. A few surface-based supercells could occur
    along the frontal zone where dewpoints may reach into the mid/upper
    50s F. While this potential appears low/uncertain per latest
    guidance, some tornado threat could materialize along the front.
    Hail/wind will otherwise be possible regionally on an isolated
    basis.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    Ahead of an approaching upper wave, mid-level moisture will support
    another day of fairly modest surface-based buoyancy with persistent
    30-40 knot flow within the CAPE-bearing layer. Combined with
    somewhat deep boundary-layer mixing, this may support strong to
    severe downburst winds with the more robust convective cells, mainly
    this afternoon through early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible today into
    evening mainly across parts of Texas and perhaps other nearby parts
    of the southern Plains. More isolated severe storms may occur across
    portions of the Upper Great Lakes and northern Rockies.

    ...Synopsis...
    Recent satellite imagery shows a pair of phased shortwave troughs
    over the Plains, one moving through the Dakotas and another moving
    through KS/OK. Both of these waves are forecast to continue
    northeastward through the day, with the northern wave reaching
    northwestern Ontario and the southern wave reaching the Great Lakes
    region. This evolution will take these waves east/northeast of the
    higher low-level moisture, which will remain in a corridor from the
    southern Plains northeastward into the Upper Midwest. Showers and
    thunderstorms are anticipated throughout much of this corridor
    today, with highest thunderstorm chances across central/east TX and
    from the Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes.

    Farther west, an upper low is slowly drifting eastward across
    northern CA. Guidance suggests this eastward drift will continue
    today, with several shortwave troughs rotating quickly through the
    base of this system and ejecting across the Great Basin and northern
    Rockies. Large-scale ascent and modest mid-level moisture associated
    with these waves will combine with cold temperatures aloft and
    associated buoyancy to support thunderstorms today from northern CA
    across the northern Great Basin and northern Rockies, and into the
    northern Plains.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    Much of this region will be displaced south and west of any notable
    large-scale forcing for ascent. This limited ascent, combined with
    the showers and isolated thunderstorms currently ongoing across
    central and east TX, complicates the overall forecast today, with
    mesoscale factors likely contributing significantly to when and
    where storms develop this afternoon and evening. General expectation
    is for development along the southern and western periphery on the
    ongoing storms (i.e. from southeast/south-central TX into southwest
    TX) later this afternoon and this evening. This redevelopment will
    be supported by a combination of moist advection, modest heating,
    and limited low-level convergence. Moderate to strong buoyancy amid
    moderate vertical shear could support supercells if the mode remains
    discrete. However, the weakness in the mid-level flow suggests
    storms may tend to cluster, a scenario that is supported by most CAM
    guidance. Buoyancy and shear are still strong enough to support
    rotating updrafts and large hail early in the convective cycle, but
    the trends towards a messy convective mode could limit the
    persistence and coverage of robust updrafts. Damaging gusts are
    possible even with the clustered storm mode, especially given there
    is some potential for slightly more organized bowing segments over
    time.

    Farther west, mid-level height rises/subsidence are anticipated
    coincident with the dryline from central Kansas south-southwestward
    across western Oklahoma and west/southwest Texas. The environment, characterized by 1500 to 2000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 30 to 40 kt of
    westerly deep-layer shear, is conditionally supportive of supercells
    capable of all severe hazards. However, the previously mentioned
    height rises and subsidence, combined with modest convective
    inhibition, are generally expected to preclude thunderstorm
    development. Even so, given the conditional risk, Marginal risk
    probabilities will be maintained.

    ...Minnesota/Wisconsin...
    Recent surface analysis places a low just west of FAR, with a warm
    front extending southwestward across central/southeast MN and
    southern WI. This low is forecast to move eastward today, while the
    warm front expands northward. A narrow corridor of surface-based
    buoyancy could develop from north-central MN into far northwest WI
    as dewpoints increase in the upper 50s (perhaps even low 60s).
    Thunderstorm initiation appears possible along the cold front within
    this corridor, although veered low-level flow and northward/westward displacement of the better forcing casts doubt to whether updrafts
    will be maintained. Any storms that do mature within this warm
    sector should become supercells capable of all severe hazards,
    including large hail and tornadoes. However, low confidence in storm development and maturity precludes higher probabilities with this
    outlook.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    Mid-level moisture will support another day of modest surface-based
    buoyancy ahead of the shortwave trough mentioned in the synopsis.
    Persistent 30-40 knot flow within the CAPE-bearing layer combined
    with somewhat deep boundary-layer mixing will support strong to
    severe downburst winds with the more robust convective cells, mainly
    this afternoon through early evening.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible today
    into evening mainly across parts of Texas and perhaps other nearby
    parts of the southern Plains. More isolated severe storms may occur
    across portions of the Upper Great Lakes and northern Rockies.

    ...20z Update Central TX...
    Filtered diurnal heating in the wake of earlier showers and storms
    across much of central TX was supporting moderate destabilization
    this afternoon. While mid-level lapse rates are generally poor,
    sufficient destabilization should support a gradual uptick in
    convective coverage this afternoon and evening. With moderate
    deep-layer shear in place, some organization could support a risk
    for damaging gusts, hail, and tornado or two.

    ...MN/WI...
    The aforementioned warm front continues to surge north but has
    slowed farther south than earlier guidance. Weak to moderate
    destabilization along and just south of the boundary will remain
    supportive of a conditions supercell risk this afternoon/evening.
    Strong shear profiles east of the surface low and near the rapidly
    modifying boundary could support a risk for hail and possibly a
    tornado. Have shifted severe probabilities southward slightly to
    better match the observed frontal positioning. See MCD #390 for the
    latest information.

    ...OK/KS/TX Panhandle...
    A conditional risk for a supercell or two remains evident this
    afternoon across the dryline in the central and southern Plains.
    Ample heating in the wake of an early morning MCS could allow for
    isolated storm this afternoon or evening as the dryline is forecast
    to mix eastward before eventually retreating. Forecast guidance
    continues to show weak subsidence suppressing convective
    development, but deepening cumulus evident over the southern TX
    Panhandle could support an isolated storm this evening. All severe
    hazards would be possible.

    ...Intermountain West...
    Steep mid-level lapse rates beneath the cold core of the upper low
    over the West will continue to support scattered high-based storms
    this afternoon. With a relatively dry-sub cloud layer, somewhat deep boundary-layer mixing will support strong to
    severe downburst winds.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this
    evening across portions of central Texas and perhaps central/western
    Oklahoma.

    ...Synopsis...
    Mid-evening surface observations reveal an expansive warm sector
    from the TX coast northward into the Plains and upper MS Valley.
    Despite a high-quality thermodynamic environment throughout much of
    this warm sector, a combination of residual capping across the upper
    MS Valley and/or very weak ascent in the wake of an upper-level
    disturbance is limiting the overall potential for thunderstorms
    outside of the southern Plains. Across the West, convective coverage
    is gradually diminishing and will continue to dwindle heading into
    the late evening hours as nocturnal cooling begins to increase
    inhibition.

    ...Southern Plains...
    The most intense convection currently resides to the west of the
    I-35 corridor in central TX where strong to severe thunderstorms
    have developed on the western fringe of an expanding cold pool.
    MLCAPE values to the west of the cold pool were recently sampled
    near 2500 J/kg by the DRT and OUN soundings with around 30-35 knots
    of effective bulk shear also noted. This environment is favorable
    for organized convection, including splitting supercells with some
    potential for large to very large hail. However, close proximity to
    the residual cold pool should limit the overall spatial extent of
    this threat, and most guidance depicts this activity waning later
    tonight in the absence of persistent forcing for ascent.

    Further north into western Oklahoma and northwest TX, continued
    cumulus development along a diffuse dryline is noted in GOES
    imagery. While storm development appears unlikely given the
    approaching onset of nocturnal cooling, the downstream environment
    remains highly favorable for intense convection per the 00z OUN
    RAOB, and recent RRFS solutions hint at the potential for convection
    within the next 1-3 hours (though these solutions appear to be
    outliers compared to other guidance). Given this signal and the
    favorable environment, opted to maintain 5% hail/wind probabilities
    to account for this low-probability, but potentially high impact
    scenario.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are likely across the Upper Mississippi Valley
    and Great Lakes region with potential for large to very large hail,
    damaging wind, and tornadoes. A more conditional and isolated risk
    for severe storms is possible across portions of the southern Plains
    late this afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts an upper trough with
    multiple embedded vorticity maxima over the Great Basin. While the
    primary upper wave will remain over the West for today, a leading
    impulse is forecast to eject towards the northern Plains and into
    the Great Lakes through tonight. At the surface, a weak lee cyclone
    over the central High Plains will migrate northeastward in tandem
    with the upper impulse, likely reaching the southern MN vicinity by
    early evening. As this occurs, a plume of mid-60s dewpoints will
    spread north into the upper MS Valley along and south of a warm
    front. Scattered thunderstorm development along and north of the
    warm front is anticipated by late afternoon as forcing for ascent
    gradually increases. Elsewhere, more isolated strong to severe
    thunderstorms are possible across portions of TX and OK where deep
    mixing along a dryline may result in sustained deep convection.

    ...Upper MS Valley...
    A combination of shortwave ridging and capping at the base of an EML
    will limit thunderstorm development through much of the day across
    southern MN into central WI. This will allow for continued moisture
    return as a warm front lifts into the region with MLCAPE values
    forecast to reach 2000-2500 J/kg by around 21 UTC. Thunderstorm
    development will become increasingly probable through the 21-00 UTC
    period as isentropic ascent strengthens ahead of the approaching
    upper disturbance. Lingering inhibition coupled with 45-50 knot
    effective bulk shear should promote initially discrete supercells
    along or just north of the surface boundary. Hodograph elongation
    appears favorable for a large hail threat, possibly as large as 2-3
    inches with the more robust cells. Additionally, enhanced low-level
    SRH along the frontal zone may result in a corridor of relatively
    higher tornado potential if convection can remain rooted along the
    boundary.

    While the overall environment appears very favorable for intense
    convection, east/northeasterly storm motions along or just north of
    the warm front will likely promote storm advection towards the cool
    side of the boundary and clustering/upscale growth through the
    evening. This, combined with capping over the remainder of the warm
    sector, limits confidence in a more widespread tornado threat, and
    could modulate the potential for significant (2+ inch) hail within a
    few hours after convective initiation. Nonetheless, a corridor of
    higher hail potential remains evident in latest guidance along and
    just north of the warm front where discrete supercells are most
    probable. 30% hail probabilities have been shifted to reflect a
    southward trend in frontal placement noted in most recent guidance.

    ...Southern Plains...
    A moist and very unstable air mass will remain in place across TX
    and OK today with MLCAPE values expected to increase to around 2500
    J/kg by late afternoon. Ample diurnal heating/mixing on the western
    periphery of the moisture plume will likely result in weak,
    high-based convection by mid to late afternoon. Easterly storm
    motions may promote downstream intensification as convection
    migrates towards richer low-level moisture, but this will be
    conditional on convection remaining sustained long enough to realize
    the favorable thermodynamic environment. If this can occur,
    deep-layer shear values on the order of 40 knots should promote
    organized convection - likely in the form of supercells - with an
    attendant threat for all hazards, including very large hail. While
    both global and CAM ensemble guidance hint at this potential, the
    lack of appreciable lifting mechanisms (aside from the dryline circulation/boundary-layer mixing) casts considerable uncertainty on
    overall storm coverage.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
    MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are likely across the Upper Mississippi Valley
    and Great Lakes region with potential for large to very large hail,
    damaging wind, and tornadoes, mainly late this afternoon into
    tonight. A more conditional and isolated risk for severe storms is
    possible across portions of the southern Plains late this afternoon
    and evening.

    ...Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes including MN/WI...
    Multiple lead mid-level disturbances over the northern High Plains
    will progress northeastward today toward the Upper Midwest, with
    strengthening winds aloft across this region particularly late today
    and tonight. A surface low will tend to deepen/develop
    east-northeastward from northeast Nebraska this morning into far
    southern Minnesota and Wisconsin by tonight in vicinity of a slow-moving/stalled frontal boundary. Low/middle 60s F surface
    dewpoints will advect north-northeastward and become increasingly
    prevalent along/south of the aforementioned stationary/warm front
    this afternoon. MLCAPE values are forecast to reach 2000-2500 J/kg
    by around 21z/4pm CDT.

    Thunderstorm development will become increasingly probable through
    mid/late afternoon (21-00z) as isentropic ascent strengthens ahead
    of the approaching upper disturbance. Lingering inhibition coupled
    with 45-50 kt effective bulk shear should promote initially discrete
    supercells along or just north of the surface boundary. Hodograph
    elongation appears favorable for a large hail threat, possibly as
    large as 2-3 inches in diameter with the more robust cells.
    Additionally, enhanced low-level SRH along the frontal zone is
    expected to result in a corridor of relatively higher tornado
    potential for storms that can remain rooted immediately along the
    boundary.

    While the overall environment appears very favorable for intense convection/supercells, east-northeasterly storm motions along or
    just north of the warm front will likely promote clustering/upscale
    growth through the evening, with an increasing damaging wind
    potential and a continued tornado risk via line-embedded circulation
    potential.

    ...Northern Illinois/northern Indiana and southern Lake Michigan...
    There is the potential that a somewhat separate corridor of
    severe-weather potential may unfold today, potentially born out of
    subtle mid-level wave and early morning convection across northeast
    Missouri vicinity and/or development later today. The initially
    elevated storms would be on the edge of the
    east/northeastward-advecting elevated mixed layer. Steep mid-level
    lapse rates and 35+ kt effective shear could support initially
    isolated hail potential, but a more organized surface-based severe
    risk could manifest if some of the more-aggressive early morning
    short-term guidance trends materialize (HRRR/RAP/RRFS).

    ...Southern Plains including Oklahoma/Texas...
    A moist and potentially unstable air mass will persist regionally to
    the east of a dryline located around peak heating from east-central
    Kansas south-southwestward into west-central Oklahoma and western
    north Texas to the Texas Big Bend vicinity. Immediately east of the
    dryline, warm-sector dewpoints are expected to generally be in the
    middle 60s F, supporting MLCAPE values to 2500-3000 J/kg.

    The extent/likelihood of sustained deep convection later today is a
    key question. The primary southern-stream trough will be well
    upstream over the southwest Desert, with neutral height tendencies
    across the southern Plains, although early morning water vapor
    imagery and derived wind data suggest that a subtle disturbance over
    northern Mexico and the southern Rockies could approach the
    dryline/warm sector later today.

    Regardless, ample post-dryline mixing and near-dryline
    confluence/weak convergence may be sufficient for deep convective
    initiation after 21z/4pm CDT, at least an isolated basis. Forecast
    mass fields would imply that this is most probable across
    central/southwest Oklahoma into the north Texas Big Country, and
    perhaps somewhat separately across the Texas Big Bend and Rio Grande
    vicinity.

    If/where storms develop and mature, deep-layer shear on the order of
    40+ kt will support supercells, potentially capable of all hazards
    including very large hail. An increased confidence in deep
    convective initiation late this afternoon/early evening could
    warrant focus Slight Risk delineations in subsequent Day 1 updates.

    ...Northern High Plains...
    Generally isolated severe storms capable of hail/wind will be
    possible late this afternoon into evening along/north of the surface
    front where modest low-level moisture and vertical shear will be
    maximized, in the presence of steep low/mid-level lapse rates.

    afternoon, although the specific details remain uncertain.

    ...Southern Plains including Oklahoma/Texas...
    Confidence/potential for isolated to widely scattered locally
    intense storms later this afternoon has incrementally increased,

    SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...NORTHERN IOWA...AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF TEXAS...OKLAHOMA AND THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms remain likely across the Upper Mississippi
    Valley and Great Lakes region with potential for large to very large
    hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes, mainly late this afternoon into
    tonight. A more isolated risk for severe storms is possible across
    portions of the southern Plains late this afternoon and evening.

    ...20z Update Upper Midwest...
    Afternoon visible imagery showed diurnal heating ongoing south of
    the stalled front from the eastern SD across southern MN into
    central WI. Moderate destabilization should support scattered to
    numerous thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Initially
    supercells are likely, given strongly veering wind profiles and
    moderate deep-layer flow. All hazards are possible with these
    storms. With time, upscale growth into one or more lines or clusters
    appears likely as storms spread eastward into the Great Lakes.

    Convective development appears likely along the triple point near
    the surface low from northeast/eastern NE into southeastern SD.
    Supercell wind profiles and moderate buoyancy would support a risk
    for large hail and some damaging wind gusts. A tornado or two may
    occur as any supercells that develop move eastward into deeper
    low-level moisture across northwestern IA and southern MN.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    Towering cumulus along a dryline over parts of KS/OK/TX may support
    isolated storm development late this afternoon. A conditionally
    favorable environment (3000+ j/kg of MLCAPE and 35-40 kt effective
    shear) for supercells will support a risk for all hazards. See MCD
    #399 for short term information. The primary change for this outlook
    was to extend severe probabilities northeastward into eastern KS.
    Guidance and observational trends have shown an increased likelihood
    of a storm or two this afternoon.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR EASTERN
    KANSAS AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms will continue across the Upper Mississippi
    Valley and Great Lakes region with potential for large to very large
    hail, damaging wind, and tornadoes, through the overnight hours. A
    more focused risk for severe storms will continue through late
    evening across the southern to central Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    Late-evening surface analysis reveals a slow-moving surface low over
    eastern NE with a warm frontal zone draped eastward into southern MN
    and central WI. Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are ongoing
    along the frontal zone as of 01 UTC and will likely continue through
    much of the overnight hours across the upper MS Valley and the
    Midwest. Further south, several attempts at convective initiation
    have been noted along a dryline draped from eastern NE southward
    into KS, OK, and TX. Although additional attempts at thunderstorm
    development are possible over the next few hours, the primary severe
    risk will be focused across the Kansas City metro area where a
    cluster of supercells has emerged.

    ....Upper MS Valley/Midwest...
    Scattered supercells are ongoing across southern MN and into central
    WI along and north of the surface warm front. A tornado and
    significant (2+ inch) hail threat will likely persist for the next
    couple of hours, but the expectation is for increased storm
    clustering and upscale growth through the overnight hours. The
    developing MCS will likely spread east/southeast into southern WI
    and possibly northern IL prior to 12 UTC Tuesday with an attendant
    risk for severe winds.

    ...Eastern Kansas/western Missouri...
    A cluster of supercells has emerged across eastern KS over the past
    few hours and will likely continue to spread east into western MO
    through late evening. Given very favorable thermodynamic and
    kinematics noted in the 00z TOP sounding, this activity will likely
    continue to pose a threat for very large hail and tornadoes. 15%
    hail and 5% tornado probabilities have been introduced to account
    for this localized threat.

    ...Southern Plains...
    GOES imagery over the past few hours has shown several attempts at
    convective initiation across OK and TX; however, most of these
    attempts have failed due to very meager/localized ascent along the
    dryline. While one strong storm is noted across northwest TX, the
    potential for new storm development should wane through the evening
    given residual inhibition noted in 00z soundings and as nocturnal
    cooling begins to diminish the dryline circulation. Because of this,
    opted to remove 15% risk probabilities, but maintain some risk
    probabilities given the ongoing convection and otherwise very
    favorable convective environment.

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

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
    TO SOUTHERN PLAINS AND PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight
    from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes. Large to very large
    hail, a few tornadoes (some strong), and damaging wind gusts will be
    possible, particularly across parts of eastern Iowa, northern
    Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Additional severe storms, mainly
    producing strong wind gusts, will be possible across parts of the
    Northeast this afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper wave is evident in recent water-vapor imagery across the
    southern Great Basin. This trough will translate east into the
    Plains through today, reaching the Great Lakes region by tonight.
    This will support slight deepening of a diffuse surface low analyzed
    over the central High Plains as it drifts east towards the lower MO
    River Valley. Ahead of the low, an expansive warm sector
    (characterized by widespread mid to upper 60s dewpoints) remains in
    place from the southern Plains northeastward into the upper MS
    Valley region. Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected along a
    composite outflow boundary/warm front from eastern IA into southern
    WI/northern IL as well as along a dryline draped from eastern KS
    into OK and TX. Further east, a mid-level wave associated with
    ongoing convection over the Great Lakes will support re-intensification/re-development of strong/severe storms across the
    Northeast.

    ...Midwest...
    An outflow boundary emanating from the ongoing MCS across the Great
    Lakes will likely be draped across the Midwest early this morning.
    This boundary is forecast to drift northward within a southerly flow
    regime as an effective warm front ahead of the approaching surface
    low and upper wave. Latest guidance generally depicts this boundary
    stalling across eastern IA into southern WI by late afternoon when
    daytime heating and ascent ahead of the upper wave will erode
    inhibition and promote convective initiation along the boundary.

    Dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s coupled with steep mid-level lapse
    rates (already noted in upstream 00z RAOBs) will support MLCAPE
    values near 2500 J/kg by late afternoon. Moderate buoyancy combined
    with 45-55 knots of effective bulk shear will be highly favorable
    for organized convection. Capping at the base of the EML should
    initially limit thunderstorm coverage and favor discrete supercells
    along the boundary. In addition to very large hail (possibly up to
    2-3 inches in diameter), enhanced low-level SRH along the boundary
    may support a corridor of locally higher tornado potential,
    including the potential for significant tornadoes. With time,
    easterly storm motions along the boundary will promote upscale
    growth with an increasing wind threat heading into the late evening
    hours.

    The primary uncertainty will be the location of the boundary by late
    afternoon. 30% hail and 10% tornado probabilities were adjusted to
    reflect the most likely placement of the boundary based on a
    consensus of guidance; however, exact placement of the boundary will
    be conditional on the precise evolution of the morning MCS.
    Similarly, how quickly upscale growth occurs after initiation may
    modulate the duration of the significant hail/tornado threat.

    ...Kansas into Oklahoma and Texas...
    Modest height falls across the central to southern Plains combined
    with weak convergence along the dryline will likely support isolated
    to perhaps scattered thunderstorms from eastern KS southward into TX
    this afternoon. Consensus among latest HREF/REFS guidance is that
    initiation is most probable across northwest TX into central OK -
    possibly ahead of a subtle mid-level wave, though in reality the
    unfocused nature of the broad-scale ascent suggests that initiation
    will be possible anywhere along the dryline where low-level
    convergence can be maximized. Regardless, ample buoyancy within the
    warm sector (2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE sampled in evening RAOBs) coupled
    with 30-40 knots of effective bulk shear will support supercells
    with an attendant threat for large hail (possibly exceeding 2 inches
    in diameter). Some tornado threat will likely materialize around and
    after 00 UTC as the nocturnal jet strengthens and enlarges low-level hodographs.

    ...Northeast...
    A low-amplitude upper wave associated with an ongoing MCS across the
    Great Lakes will migrate eastward towards the Northeast through the
    day. Residual convection associated with the MCS may linger through
    morning before re-intensifying by early afternoon as daytime heating
    supports steepening low-level lapse rates and increasing MLCAPE
    values (likely up to the 500-1000 J/kg range). While buoyancy will
    likely remain weak, 35-40 knot bulk shear through the CAPE-bearing
    layer and focused ascent ahead of a low-amplitude upper wave will
    likely support organization of convective bands with an attendant
    threat for strong to severe winds.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR IOWA INTO
    THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    NORTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight
    from the southern Plains into the Midwest. Large to giant hail,
    several tornadoes (some strong), and severe gusts will be possible, particularly from Iowa into the southern Great Lakes.

    ...Midwest...
    An MCV near the IL-IN border this morning and southward-moving
    outflow are linked to thunderstorms over parts of the eastern Corn
    Belt. This outflow boundary will likely stall with the western
    portion of the boundary advancing northward within a strengthening
    warm conveyor this afternoon. Guidance generally depicts this
    boundary stalling across eastern IA into southern WI by late
    afternoon when daytime heating and ascent ahead of the upper wave
    will erode inhibition and promote convective initiation along the
    boundary. A moist airmass upstream over the lower MO Valley will
    advect northeast beneath steep 700-500 mb lapse rates (reference the
    12 UTC Topeka, KS raob). MLCAPE at or above 2500 J/kg is forecast
    by mid-late afternoon from IA into the IA-WI-IL border vicinity.
    Initial storms later this afternoon will rapidly become supercells
    with all severe hazards possible. Large to giant hail and an
    intense tornado will be possible with the more mature/strongest
    supercells where SRH is locally maximized near the boundary.
    Upscale growth into a severe cluster is forecast to eventually
    evolve during the evening aided by a strong southwesterly LLJ into
    the southern Great Lakes. If a supercell develops ahead of the
    eastward-moving cluster, a tornado threat could develop as the
    boundary layer quickly recovers/destabilizes.

    ...Kansas into Oklahoma and Texas...
    Modest height falls across the central to southern Plains combined
    with weak convergence along the dryline will likely support
    scattered thunderstorms from eastern KS southward into western north
    TX this afternoon into the evening. Aligning with earlier thinking,
    strong heating and perhaps weak ascent tied to a subtle mid-level
    wave, will favor storm development by 20-22z as convective
    inhibition erodes. A very unstable airmass characterized by
    2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE and elongated hodographs will strongly favor
    supercells. The strength of low-level shear remains unclear during
    the early evening, when the tornado risk could maximize.
    Nonetheless, increased confidence in widely scattered to scattered
    supercells yielding a risk for large to giant hail prompted an
    increase in hail and hail-intensity highlights this outlook update.

    ...Northeast...
    A low-amplitude disturbance associated with an ongoing MCS near Lake
    Ontario this morning will move east into the Northeast during the
    day. Cloud breaks and low-level warm/moist advection will
    contribute to a destabilizing airmass by midday. Veering and
    strengthening winds with height will support storm organization,
    including the potential for supercells. Eventually a band of storms
    is forecast to evolve by mid-late afternoon with wind damage being
    the primary risk. Have introduced low hail/tornado probabilities to
    account for hazards associated with supercells.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MIDWEST/SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS...

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight
    from the southern Plains into the Midwest. Large to giant hail,
    several tornadoes (some strong), and swaths of severe/damaging gusts
    are all likely, particularly from Iowa into the southern Great
    Lakes.

    ...Synopsis...
    An active severe weather day is anticipated for much of the
    southern/central Plains into the Midwest/Great Lakes and parts of
    the Northeast. The primary upper trough centered over the Four
    Corners late this morning will eject east-northeastward towards the southern/central Plains by this evening, while a separate mid-level
    shortwave trough over the northern Plains/Upper Midwest will also
    move east-northeastward across the Upper Great Lakes into Ontario.
    Another convectively enhanced low-amplitude shortwave trough will
    also develop eastward across the Lower Great Lakes into the
    Northeast.

    Recent surface analysis indicates multiple surface lows, with one
    over southern Ontario and another over southeast NE/northeast KS. A
    seasonably rich/moist low-level airmass exists to the south of a
    front extending between these two lows, with surface dewpoints
    already in the low to mid 60s across much of the southern/central
    Plains to the east of a dryline. Both the dryline in the
    southern/central Plains and developing warm front in the
    Midwest/southern Great Lakes will likely serve as foci for intense thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, including the potential
    for several supercells.

    ...Midwest/Ohio Valley/Great Lakes...
    A complex scenario for severe thunderstorms remains apparent across
    the Midwest/OH Valley into the southern Great Lakes today, with
    multiple outflow boundaries from earlier convection rendering
    greater than usual uncertainty with the southward extent of possible thunderstorm development in IL/IN/OH. In general, continued
    low-level warm advection from the central Plains into the Midwest/OH
    Valley will support a moistening/destabilizing airmass through the
    afternoon as a northern-stream shortwave trough moves eastward
    across the Upper Midwest. A surface warm front will extend
    northeastward from a weak surface low in IA across southern WI and
    Lower MI. It still appears likely that multiple intense supercells
    will develop by 20-21Z along/near this boundary in IA/southern
    WI/northern IL in a very favorable airmass for significant severe
    hail given strong deep-layer shear and the presence of steep
    mid-level lapse rates. Low-level shear is expected to gradually
    strengthen through the evening in tandem with a modestly increasing south-southwesterly low-level jet.

    Any supercells than can remain on the warm/south side of the front
    will be capable of producing tornadoes, a few of which could be
    strong (EF-2/3). Some consideration was given to including greater
    tornado probabilities and a Moderate Risk (level 4 of 5) focused
    across southern WI/far northern IL. But, convection may have a
    tendency to grow upscale fairly quickly this evening, so confidence
    was not high enough for a categorical upgrade at this time.
    Regardless, very large to giant hail (potentially up to 3-4 inches
    in diameter) will be a threat with sustained supercells, and a swath
    of severe/damaging winds appears likely with a convective cluster
    spreading eastward across southern Lower MI this evening into
    tonight.

    A somewhat separate area of severe potential should also exist
    farther south across central IL into IN/OH this afternoon and
    evening. Greater low-level moisture and related instability are
    expected to exist across these areas compared to locations farther
    north. While large-scale forcing should remain fairly weak/nebulous
    across this region, a remnant outflow boundary may provide a focus
    for supercell development across central IL into IN by 20-21Z. Have
    expanded the Slight Risk for large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps
    a few tornadoes southward across these areas to account for this
    still somewhat uncertain potential.

    ...Southern/Central Plains...
    12Z observed soundings from DRT/MAF/FWD/OUN/TOP show the presence of
    steep mid-level lapse rates atop rich low-level moisture (generally
    14-15 g/kg mean mixing ratios) along/east of the surface dryline.
    Southwesterly mid-level flow and modest ascent preceding the upper
    trough over the Southwest/southern Rockies will gradually overspread
    the warm sector by mid to late afternoon. Moderate to strong
    instability (MLCAPE around 2000-3000 J/kg, locally stronger
    possible) and 35-45 kt of deep-layer shear will support multiple
    intense supercells. Explosive convective initiation across parts of
    western OK into south-central/southeast KS is expected by 20-21Z as
    lingering MLCIN erodes with filtered daytime heating and as
    convective temperatures are breached.

    The overall thermodynamic and kinematic environment appears quite
    favorable for very large to potentially giant hail (up to 3-4 inches
    in diameter) with any supercells that spread east-northeastward
    through the afternoon/evening. A gradually strengthening low-level
    jet across OK/KS by 00Z will also support a threat for a few
    tornadoes, a couple of which could be strong as low-level hodographs
    become enlarged. Gradual upscale growth/clustering should occur with
    time through the evening, with some risk for severe/damaging winds.
    The Enhanced Risk has been expanded a bit northeastward into south-central/southeast KS for a focused severe wind corridor.
    Farther south along the length of the dryline in TX, isolated to
    scattered supercells may develop this afternoon and evening, with a
    risk for mainly large to very large hail and occasional severe
    gusts.

    ...Northeast...
    Ongoing convection across southern Ontario and the Lower Great Lakes
    will continue to track eastward this afternoon into NY and parts of
    New England in tandem with a low-amplitude shortwave trough. Gradual
    clearing of low/mid-level clouds has already encouraged surface
    temperatures to warm into the 70s along/south of west-east oriented
    front. Thunderstorms are expected to gradually increase in coverage
    and intensity as weak to locally moderate instability and strong
    deep-layer shear support organized updrafts, including the potential
    for some supercells initially. The greatest severe risk will
    probably be scattered damaging winds given a tendency for convection
    to consolidate into one or more clusters. But, an isolated severe
    hail threat may exist with any sustained supercell, along with some
    chance for a tornado or two near the front where low-level shear
    will be locally enhanced.
