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

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

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

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

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

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

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF MS/AL/GA...

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

    ...Ozarks/Mid-MS Valley to the OH/TN Valleys into GA...

    An MCS will likely be ongoing Saturday morning across portions of OK
    into Ozarks. The MCV associated with this feature will likely phase
    with a shortwave trough developing east from the central Plains to
    the Mid-MS/Lower OH Valley through the afternoon. This shortwave
    will proceed eastward across the Midwest to the central Appalachians
    by the end of the period. A swath of enhanced mid/upper westerly
    flow associated with the MCV and shortwave trough will overspread
    Mid-South and OH/TN Valleys, with 35-50 kt of flow between 850-700
    mb depicted by most forecast guidance. This enhanced flow aloft will
    overlap a corridor of strong instability (MLCAPE greater than 2500
    J/kg from the Mid-South into the TN Valley). Uncertainty exists in
    stronger destabilization with northward extent into portions of
    MO/IL/KY and vicinity.

    The expectation is that a couple of corridors of primarily damaging
    wind potential will develop on Saturday. The more intense convection
    is expected to develop along the periphery of outflow from the
    morning MCS over Ozark Plateau, with convection developing and
    rapidly intensifying across northern MS eastward into portions of northern/central AL through the afternoon, and perhaps into portions
    of western/central GA by early evening. Forward-propagating clusters
    with potential for bowing segments will produce swaths of damaging
    gusts and perhaps a tornado or two. Isolated large hail also may
    occur with any more discrete cells, mainly early in convective
    evolution.

    Another corridor of severe potential is possible in association with
    the remnant MCV and the ejecting upper shortwave trough moving into
    the Mid-MS/OH Valley during the afternoon. It is uncertain how the
    airmass may recover in the wake of the morning MCS and instability
    could remain somewhat suppressed. Nevertheless, favorable shear for
    organized storms will be present as large-scale ascent increases.
    While storm coverage and evolution is uncertain, some potential for
    damaging gusts, isolated hail, and a tornado or two will exist
    during the afternoon into early evening.

    ...Eastern NC/Southeast VA...

    A weak upper shortwave trough over the central Appalachians will
    shift east across the southern Mid-Atlantic vicinity through early
    evening. This will bring a belt of enhanced west/southwesterly flow
    over the VA/NC Piedmont. Enhanced flow aloft will overlap with a
    seasonally moist/unstable airmass ahead of southeast-advancing cold
    front. Vertically veering wind profiles will foster effective shear
    magnitudes around 30 kt, and transient supercells are possible.
    Strong heating will result in steep low-level lapse rates. Small
    bows and strong downbursts could produce damaging gusts during the
    afternoon.

    ...Southern High Plains into OK/North TX...

    Diurnal convection may be less prevalent across the High Plains on
    Saturday compared to the previous few days in the wake of the
    morning OK MCS and the central Plains upper trough shifting
    eastward. However, isolated storms may still develop in modest
    upslope flow across eastern NM/far west TX. Isolated strong gusts
    and large hail could accompany these storms. Additional storms may
    develop along the residual outflow extending somewhere in the
    vicinity of west-central TX toward the Red River. A very moist and
    unstable airmass will reside in the area. However, vertical shear
    will remain modest and capping may suppress storms coverage.
    Nevertheless, large hail and damaging gusts will be possible with
    any storms that can develop.

    ...Eastern Dakotas into Northwest MN...

    A deepening upper shortwave trough over the Canadian Prairies will
    develop southeast into the northern Plains/Upper Midwest on
    Saturday. At the surface, low pressure will move across northern
    Manitoba through the afternoon and a south/southwest oriented
    trailing cold front will sweep across the Dakotas into MN.
    Boundary-layer moisture will remain modest, limiting quality
    destabilization. Nevertheless, sufficient deep-layer flow coupled
    with strong forcing should support sporadic strong gusts with
    somewhat low-topped/high-based convection.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN OK/NORTHERN
    TX TO THE ARK-LA-TEX...

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SEPARATELY FROM
    THE SOUTH/LOWER-MID ATLANTIC PIEDMONT/COASTAL PLAIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are most likely across Oklahoma and northern
    Texas to the Ark-La-Tex during the late afternoon and evening on
    Sunday. A few tornadoes, destructive wind gusts of 80-100 mph, and
    very large hail are possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A vertically stacked cyclone will drift southeast in the southern
    MB/northwest ON to northern MN vicinity through early morning
    Monday. The attendant surface cold front should arc from northeast
    IL to the Raton Mesa by 21Z Sunday. Low-amplitude mid/upper
    troughing, with multiple embedded MCVs, will move east from the
    eastern Midwest and TN Valley into the Mid and South Atlantic States
    by Sunday evening.

    ...Southern Great Plains...
    The active severe-weather pattern across the region may peak during
    late afternoon to evening Sunday. With a brief respite on D1 in the
    wake of multiple prior-day MCSs, rather rich low-level moisture will
    become prevalent beneath very steep mid-level lapse rates of 8 to 9
    C/km. MLCAPE will become large to extreme ahead of the cold front
    from southern KS across much of northern TX by Sunday afternoon.

    With weak forcing for large-scale ascent prior to the frontal
    intrusion from the north, there is a minority of guidance, such as
    the 00Z NSSL-ARW and NAM, which suggest early-day storms in the
    eastern Panhandles to along the Red River. Bulk of guidance
    continues to indicate more typical late-afternoon development along
    and just ahead of the cold front. With mid to upper wind profiles
    from the west-northwest, elongated hodographs coupled with the
    strong to extreme instability will favor discrete supercells capable
    of producing very large hail and tornadoes. Consolidating outflows,
    further southward push to the cold front and strengthening of a west
    TX low-level jet will yield increasingly widespread storms that
    should congeal into a forward-propagating, potentially intense MCS.
    This type of setup is conducive to embedded bowing structures
    capable of producing destructive severe gusts and QLCS tornadoes.
    The 18Z RRFS is consistent with this scenario indicating the
    development of an 80-90 kt RIJ. Severe wind and embedded hail
    potential should persist overnight, although likely shrinking in
    spatial extent, into the Ark-La-Tex and Lower MS Valley.

    ...Ozarks to Mid-MS Valley...
    A confined corridor of appreciable buoyancy with a ribbon of richer boundary-layer moisture is anticipated along the cold front that
    will be oriented from northeast to southwest on Sunday afternoon.
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should form along the front by
    late afternoon and persist through mid-evening, before likely
    weakening east of the MS River owing to the confined MLCAPE plume. A
    strong mid-level jetlet is expected to be centered across IA to
    southern WI. More moderate deep-layer shear to the south-southeast
    will still be adequate for a few supercells initially that congeal
    into multicell clusters. Scattered large to isolated significant
    severe hail is possible, along with scattered damaging winds and a
    brief tornado.

    ...South to Lower Mid-Atlantic States...
    Robust boundary-layer heating is anticipated along the Atlantic
    Coastal Plain and adjacent Piedmont at least as far north as
    southern VA by Sunday afternoon. This should support moderate
    buoyancy with MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg becoming common. Multiple
    embedded MCVs will support at least scattered afternoon storms
    developing near the higher terrain and spreading east towards the
    coast. Enhanced mid-level westerlies will support transient/weak
    updraft rotation and multicell clustering. Scattered damaging winds
    and isolated severe hail are likely. A tornado or two is also
    possible in the Lower Mid-Atlantic along the primary differential
    heating corridor, where low-level shear may be adequate ahead of a
    central Appalachians MCV.

    by Sunday evening.

    ...Southern Plains...
    Thunderstorm development is expected along the front in Kansas and
    Oklahoma by late morning/early afternoon. South of the front,
    daytime heating should yield a gradient of strong to extreme CAPE
    (3000-5000 MLCAPE) across southwestern OK into northern TX. Initial
    development is likely to be supercelluar, with potential for large
    to very large hail (some 3+ in) and damaging wind given steep lapse
    rates through the profile and ample deep layer shear. A couple of
    tornadoes remain possible where storm interactions and splitting
    cells occur. Through time, mode is likely to become more
    multicelluar before eventual upscale growth along congealing outflow
    to an MCS. As this moves along the gradient southeast across
    southwestern OK into northern TX, potential for significant winds
    (80-100 mph) will be possible.

    ...Ozarks to Mid-MS Valley...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms should form along the northeast
    to southwest front by late afternoon and persist through
    mid-evening, before likely weakening east of the MS River owing to a
    relatively confined MLCAPE plume. A strong mid-level jetlet is
    expected to be centered across IA to southern WI. More moderate
    deep-layer shear to the south-southeast will still be adequate for a
    few supercells initially that congeal into multicell clusters.
    Scattered large to isolated significant severe hail is possible,
    along with scattered damaging winds and a brief tornado.

    ...South to Lower Mid-Atlantic States...
    Boundary-layer heating is anticipated along the Atlantic
    Coastal Plain and adjacent Piedmont should support MLCAPE of
    1500-2500 J/kg. Multiple embedded MCVs will support at least

    along the primary differential heating corridor, where low-level

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST
    TO THE UPPER OH VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered damaging winds, a couple tornadoes, and isolated severe
    hail are possible across the Southeast into the Upper Ohio Valley on
    Monday into Monday evening.

    ...Southeast...
    Below-average confidence exists for this forecast with large spread
    across D2 guidance in the handling of an early-morning MCS and
    attendant MCV in the MS vicinity, amid modest background wind fields
    outside of the MCV influence. Most guidance indicates convection
    should intensify towards midday, along and downstream of the
    large-scale outflow as the boundary layer destabilizes across the
    Deep South. Some guidance indicates convection may redevelop behind
    it and become the primary corridor for damaging winds during the
    afternoon. For now, have maintained a broad level 2-SLGT risk for
    scattered damaging winds to the South Atlantic Coast.

    ...Upper OH Valley...
    A belt of strong mid-level southwesterlies ahead of an upper Great
    Lakes vertically stacked cyclone should generally remain along to
    the cool side of a weak cold front shifting east. Most guidance has
    trended up with the degree of boundary-layer heating ahead of the
    front, which will be required to boost buoyancy amid marginal
    mid-level lapse rates. A corridor of primarily scattered damaging
    winds, along with a tornado and isolated severe hail, may develop
    amid modest MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg. With a confined buoyancy plume,
    convection should weaken as it spreads towards the northern
    Appalachians on Monday evening.

    ...NM/TX...
    An intense and large MCS on Sunday should drive a composite
    outflow/cold front into central/south TX, with a meridional arc over
    central to western NM. Scattered to numerous afternoon storms will
    probably remain tied to the higher terrain of northern/central NM
    with an isolated severe hail/wind threat amid marginal deep-layer
    shear. Isolated storms are also possible near the front from the
    southern Trans-Pecos through southeast TX with a severe hail/wind
    threat. Isolated elevated convection may form with weak low-level
    warm theta-e advection north of the front on Monday evening/night.
    Sufficient effective bulk shear and elevated buoyancy may exist for
    a few storms capable of severe hail.

    Day 2 Convective Outlook
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1229 PM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025

    Valid 091200Z - 101200Z

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHEAST
    STATES INTO THE TN AND OH VALLEYS...AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered damaging winds, a couple tornadoes, and isolated severe
    hail are possible across the Southeast into the Upper Ohio Valley on
    Monday into Monday evening.

    ...Mid-South/Lower MS Valley into the Southeast...
    While there is some uncertainty regarding the intensity/organization
    and location of the overnight MCS early Monday morning, the general
    consensus within the guidance places its associated vorticity max
    and surface low over the eastern vicinity. Expectation is then for
    this low and vorticity max to continue eastward into the moist and
    moderately buoyant airmass downstream across the Southeast.
    Thunderstorms appear likely in the vicinity of these features,
    including well downstream during the afternoon as boundary layer
    destabilizes and along the trailing composite outflow that will
    likely maintain its integrity. Damaging gusts will be the primary
    risk, particularly across central MS/AL where a corridor of greater
    severe potential may materialize. Uncertainty (primarily related to
    limited predictability of the system's speed) in this corridor
    remains too high to outline any higher probabilities with this
    outlook, but an upgrade may be needed in later outlooks.

    ...OH/TN Valleys...
    A plume of moderate to high PWs is forecast extend along the frontal
    zone from the Mid-South northeastward through the middle OH Valley
    Monday morning. A shortwave trough is expected to progress through
    the base of a stacked cyclone moving from the Upper Midwest into
    the Upper Great Lakes. This shortwave will encourage an eastward
    push to the cold front, while also contributing to strengthening
    mid-level flow across the region. The stronger winds will likely be
    confined to the mid/upper OH Valley, and mostly behind the front,
    with the most likely area of some overlap over OH and PA. However,
    this region will be displaced north of the better buoyancy, which is anticipated farther south over KY and TN. This displacement should
    temper the overall storm severity, but occasionally strong to severe
    are still possible throughout this entire corridor. Scattered
    damaging winds will be the primary risk, although lower-probability
    tornado and isolated severe hail risks also exist.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    The airmass across the region will likely begin the period behind
    the outflow of an extensive overnight MCS. However, these relatively
    cool and dry conditions are expected to modify quickly amid strong
    heating. A sharpening lee trough will also encourage backing
    low-level flow throughout the day, from northerly to easterly (or
    even southeasterly), with some low-level moisture advection
    possible. These factors could allow convection that initially
    develops over the higher terrain to persist eastward/southeastward
    into more of the High Plains, with an attendant threat for strong
    gusts. The modifying outflow could act as a favorable corridor for
    forward propagation and increase damaging gust potential during the
    evening.

    ...Southwest/Central/Southeast TX...
    The outflow of an extensive overnight MCS will likely arc from
    northern LA through central TX into southwest TX early Monday
    morning. Isolated thunderstorms are possible along this boundary as
    it gradually shifts southward throughout the day. Highest
    thunderstorm coverage is expected across southeast TX, with warm
    low/mid-levels and associated capping should limit the overall
    thunderstorm coverage westward. Isolated hail and damaging gusts are
    possible with any storms that develop.

    ...Northwest TX...
    Isolated elevated convection may form with weak low-level warm
    theta-e advection north of the front on Monday. Sufficient effective
    bulk shear and elevated buoyancy may exist for a few storms capable
    of severe hail.

    Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE TX
    TRANS-PECOS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The most likely corridor for a few severe storms, primarily in the
    form of large hail, is across the Texas Trans-Pecos during the late
    afternoon Tuesday. Isolated severe thunderstorms are also possible
    on Tuesday into Tuesday evening along parts of the East Coast, from
    southeast New Mexico to south Louisiana, and in parts of the
    Northwest.

    ...Southeast NM and southwest TX...
    Strong heating is anticipated over the region Tuesday along the
    western periphery of seasonably rich low-level moisture. Combined
    with steep mid-level lapse rates, large buoyancy with MLCAPE of
    2500-3000 J/kg is expected. A low-amplitude shortwave trough will
    approach the region during the afternoon. In combination with
    diurnal orographic ascent, scattered to eventually widespread
    thunderstorm development is anticipated. A narrow belt of moderate
    mid-level westerlies, centered on the Trans-Pecos, should support a
    few supercells in the late afternoon. Large hail will likely be the
    primary hazard with sub-10 percent coverage of very large hail
    possible. Outside of the Trans-Pecos, sporadic severe wind/hail will
    be possible with low confidence on organized upscale growth along
    the Rio Grande on Tuesday evening.

    ...South-central TX to south LA...
    A loosely-organized MCS should be ongoing in south-central TX at 12Z
    Tuesday. Within a weakly forced and nebulous large-scale pattern,
    guidance has a fair amount of spread with subsequent evolution
    through the day Tuesday. It is plausible that intensification may
    occur by midday along the residual outflow, along with downstream
    development towards a quasi-stationary front in LA. Deep-layer shear
    will be modest, especially outside of any localized enhancement near
    the remnant MCV. Confidence is too low to warrant greater than level
    1-MRGL risk probabilities at this time, but isolated severe
    wind/hail remains possible.

    ...Mid/South Atlantic Coast...
    A broad mid/upper trough will extend from eastern ON to the OH/TN
    Valleys at 12Z Tuesday. The southern extent of this trough will
    gradually dampen through the period with slowly rising mid-level
    heights. A broad rain swath with embedded thunderstorms is expected
    to be ongoing from the Mid-Atlantic northward, where stronger
    deep-layer flow will exist. Diurnal destabilization appears quite
    limited and locally strong gusts might occur along the southern
    periphery of this morning activity.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible into the afternoon along parts
    of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. Despite ample boundary-layer moisture/heating, poor mid-level lapse rates will limit updraft
    intensity and overall convective coverage. Locally strong gusts
    capable of wind damage will be possible with any sustained storms.
    Coverage is likely to be less compared to recent days.

    ...Northwest...
    Low-amplitude mid/upper ridging will break down as a shortwave
    trough progresses into northern CA/southwest OR by 12Z Wednesday. As
    this process occurs, mid to upper-level flow will become more
    westerly with moderate speed shear across the northern Rockies.
    Despite weak buoyancy, scattered high-based thunderstorms are
    expected. The strongest of these may attain low-end supercell
    structure from western to south-central MT during the late afternoon
    to early evening. Across southern OR, strengthening large-scale
    ascent with approach of the shortwave trough should support
    scattered late afternoon to evening storms. High-based multicells to
    a couple brief supercells are possible. Isolated, marginally severe
    wind/hail events may occur in both regimes.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
    NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST/SOUTHWEST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The most likely corridor for severe storms on Tuesday, primarily in
    the form of large hail, is across far southeast New Mexico and the
    Texas Trans-Pecos during the late afternoon through early evening.
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are also possible on Tuesday into
    Tuesday evening along parts of the East Coast, from southeast New
    Mexico to south Louisiana, and in parts of the Northwest.

    ...Southeast NM and Far West/Southwest TX...
    Strong heating is anticipated over the region Tuesday along the
    western periphery of seasonably rich low-level moisture in vicinity
    of a front and weak surface wave. Combined with steep mid-level
    lapse rates, large buoyancy with MLCAPE of 2500-3000 J/kg is
    expected. An upstream low-amplitude shortwave trough near/north of
    the International Border will approach the region during the
    afternoon. In combination with diurnal orographic ascent, scattered
    to eventually widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated. A
    narrow belt of moderate mid-level westerlies, centered on the
    Trans-Pecos, should support a few supercells in the late afternoon.
    Large hail will likely be the primary hazard. Some degree of upscale
    growth may occur by evening toward the Rio Grande vicinity, with at
    least some severe hail/wind persisting east-southeastward.

    ...South-central TX to south LA...
    It still seems that a loosely-organized MCS may be ongoing in
    central TX at 12Z Tuesday. Within a weakly forced and nebulous
    large-scale pattern, guidance has a fair amount of spread with
    subsequent evolution through the day Tuesday. It is plausible that intensification may occur by midday along the residual outflow,
    along with downstream development towards a quasi-stationary front
    into LA. Deep-layer shear will be modest, especially outside of any
    localized enhancement near the remnant MCV. Confidence remains too
    low to warrant greater than level 1-MRGL risk probabilities at this
    time, but isolated severe wind/hail remains possible.

    ...Mid/South Atlantic Coast...
    A broad mid/upper trough will extend from eastern Ontario to the
    OH/TN Valleys at 12Z Tuesday. The southern extent of this trough
    will gradually dampen through the period with slowly rising
    mid-level heights. A broad rain swath with embedded thunderstorms is
    expected to be ongoing from the Mid-Atlantic northward, where
    stronger deep-layer flow will exist. Diurnal destabilization appears
    quite limited and locally strong gusts might occur along the
    southern periphery of this morning activity.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible into the afternoon along parts
    of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain. Despite ample boundary-layer moisture/heating, poor mid-level lapse rates will limit updraft
    intensity and overall convective coverage. Locally strong gusts
    capable of wind damage will be possible with any sustained storms.
    Coverage is likely to be less compared to recent days.

    ...Northwest and Northern Rockies...
    Low-amplitude mid/upper ridging will break down as a shortwave
    trough progresses into northern CA/southwest OR by 12Z Wednesday. As
    this occurs, mid to upper-level flow will become more westerly with
    moderate speed shear across the northern Rockies. Despite weak
    buoyancy, scattered high-based thunderstorms are expected. The
    strongest of these may attain low-end supercell structure from
    western to south-central MT during the late afternoon to early
    evening. Across southern OR, strengthening large-scale ascent with
    approach of the shortwave trough should support scattered late
    afternoon to evening storms. High-based multicells to a couple brief
    supercells are possible. Isolated, marginally severe wind/hail
    events may occur in both regimes.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...TEXAS...AND ACROSS IOWA AND VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday over parts of
    the Northwest and Intermountain West, the Corn Belt, and Texas.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    On Wednesday, modest westerly flow aloft will stretch from CA into
    the northern Plains, and from the Great Lakes into the Northeast.
    Meanwhile, a weak upper wave will remain nearly stationary over the
    southern Plains providing cool temperatures aloft. An embedded wave
    will move quickly across southern ID and into the northern High
    Plains into Thursday morning, and will interact with a developing
    lee trough during the afternoon. Low-level moisture will be
    plentiful across the central and southern Plains, and especially
    from TX eastward across the Gulf Coast with 70s F dewpoints. A moist
    air mass will also exist across the Carolinas, supporting daytime
    instability but well south of the upper trough.

    ...Northern Rockies...
    Storms will develop relatively early in the day from eastern OR
    across ID as the shortwave trough moves over the area. Scattered
    storms will develop and spread quickly eastward into parts of WY and
    MT, with areas of strong outflow expected. Scattered severe gusts
    may occur. Overall deep-layer shear appears most favorable from
    southern ID into western WY, resulting in a few cells capable of
    hail as well as strong gusts.

    ...Central to southern TX...
    Moderate instability will develop over much of central into eastern
    and southern TX with a moist surface air mass beneath seasonably
    cool midlevel temperatures. Little in the way of a focus will exist
    except for possible antecedent outflows from early storms over North
    TX. However, lack of any capping and diurnal considerations will
    lead to scattered storms, with some clusters producing locally
    strong wind or isolated hail during the day.

    ...IA...northern IL and parts of surrounding states...
    A stationary front will exist across this region, with strong
    heating aiding destabilization. The glancing upper trough may aid
    lift, and forecast soundings show light but veering winds with
    height and marginal deep-layer shear. Scattered storms producing
    hail appear most probable during the late afternoon and evening,
    progressing eastward out of IA and into IL/WI and perhaps southern
    Lake MI late.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS TEXAS
    INTO LOUISIANA...THE UPPER MIDWEST/CORN BELT...AND NORTHERN
    ROCKIES/HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday over parts of
    the Northern Rockies and northern High Plains, the Upper
    Midwest/Corn Belt, as well as Texas to western Louisiana.

    ...Central to southern Texas...
    Ahead of a weak mid-level trough, moderate instability should
    develop over much of central into eastern/southern Texas with a
    moist surface air mass beneath seasonably cool mid-level
    temperatures. However, specifics are complicated by the potential of
    lingering early-day convection and outflows. Some guidance would
    suggest that convection/MCV-related enhancement to the flow field
    may occur and linger much of the day, a scenario in which a Slight
    Risk could be warranted into the Day 1 time frame pending corridors
    of more certain destabilization across central/east Texas. This flow enhancement could influence the potential for supercells and
    possibly a tornado risk within a moist environment. Scattered
    storms, including some clusters, can otherwise be expected with hail
    and wind possible.

    ...Upper Midwest/Corn Belt...
    A west/east-oriented stationary front will exist across this region,
    with strong heating aiding moderate to locally strong
    destabilization along and south of the boundary. The glancing
    influence of a shortwave trough may contribute to storm development
    as the boundary layer otherwise destabilizes Wednesday afternoon.
    Effective shear of 30-35 kt should generally exist near the front,
    potentially allowing for a few supercells and more prevalent
    multicells. Scattered storms producing hail/damaging wind appear
    most probable during the late afternoon and evening, progressing
    eastward out of Iowa toward the Illinois/Wisconsin border vicinity.
    A relatively narrow/confined Slight Risk could ultimately be
    warranted in the Day 1 time frame.

    ...Northern Rockies to Northern High Plains...
    Storms are expected to develop relatively early in the day from
    eastern Oregon across Idaho as a shortwave trough moves over the
    region. Scattered storms will develop and spread quickly eastward
    into parts of Wyoming and Montana, with areas of strong outflow
    expected. Scattered severe gusts may occur. Overall deep-layer shear
    appears most favorable from southern Idaho into western Wyoming,
    resulting in a few cells capable of hail as well as strong wind
    gusts. Additional severe storm development is expected by Wednesday
    late afternoon/early evening into the northern High Plains including
    near/east of the Big Horns.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
    THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered strong to severe storms are expected Thursday
    across parts of the central to northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
    Isolated strong to severe storms may also occur over parts of Texas.

    ...Synopsis...
    The stronger flow aloft will remain over northern portions of the
    CONUS on Thursday, with a low-amplitude wave moving across the
    northern Plains. South of there, a weak upper low will move from TX
    toward the lower to middle MS Valley late.

    At the surface, a boundary will stretch roughly from SD eastward to
    the Mid Atlantic, with a large area of mid to upper 60s F across
    much of the plains and Midwest. A weak is forecast over southwest
    NE, with an inverted trough extending northeastward toward southern
    MN.

    ...Northern Plains...
    Early day rain/thunderstorms will shift north across eastern SD and
    southern MN during the day in a zone of warm advection, with air
    mass recovery to the southwest across NE and western KS/eastern CO.
    Strong heating and southeast surface winds will yield storms moving
    off the Front Range, with locally strong gusts or marginal hail.
    Robust convection will form within the surface trough over NE,
    extending into southeast SD/western IA/southwest MN as well, with
    more of a variety of storms expected. Both damaging winds and hail
    are expected. Shear will be marginal but an MCS cannot be ruled out
    overnight.

    ...Much of southern/central/eastern TX...
    Substantial moisture and instability will again develop with 70s F
    dewpoints and cool temperatures aloft. Clusters of storms are likely
    to be ongoing roughly along or east of I-35 much of the day, and
    areas of strong wind gusts may occur. West of there, stronger
    heating will occur over southwest TX. Shear will be weak but
    multicellular convection capable of marginal hail or localized
    downbursts may occur.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST...AND ALSO FROM TX INTO
    THE LOWER MS VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered strong to severe storms are expected Thursday
    across parts of the central to northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
    Isolated strong to severe storms may also occur over parts of Texas
    into the lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Synopsis...
    A low-amplitude mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move across
    the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest on Thursday. A deeper
    upstream shortwave trough will begin to influence the Pacific
    Northwest. A weak mid/upper-level low is forecast to drift
    north-northeastward across eastern portions of the southern Plains.


    At the surface, a lee cyclone may gradually deepen during the day
    across the central High Plains, while a weak frontal wave is
    forecast to develop and move eastward from southern SD into
    southwest MN.

    ...Eastern SD/southern MN into northeast NE/northern IA...
    Elevated convection and possibly a MCV/remnant MCS may move across
    parts of the Dakotas into MN during the morning. In the wake of the
    morning convection, an outflow-influenced surface front is forecast
    to move northward across northern NE/IA into parts of eastern SD and
    southern MN. While deep-layer flow will be relatively modest, a
    localized zone of conditional supercell potential could eventually
    evolve near and just north of the front, where increasing low-level
    moisture will support moderate buoyancy and surface winds will be
    favorably backed.

    If any supercells can develop within this regime, then hail,
    damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado would all be possible. With
    the primary shortwave trough generally forecast to dampen with time
    and be displaced somewhat north of the more favorable environment,
    coverage of diurnal supercell development (if any) is uncertain.
    Greater severe probabilities may eventually be needed if confidence
    in this scenario increases. Otherwise, storm coverage may generally
    increase north of the front from late afternoon into the evening
    within a low-level warm-advection regime, with some clustering
    possible as convection spreads across southern MN Thursday night.

    ...Parts of the central/northern High Plains...
    High-based convection is expected to develop Thursday afternoon
    across parts of northeast CO/eastern WY. Deep-layer flow will be
    rather weak, but modestly veering wind profiles and sufficient
    buoyancy could support localized hail and strong to severe gusts
    with initial development. With time, an outflow-driven cluster could
    spread into the NE Panhandle, with potentially a somewhat greater
    concentration of strong/severe gusts.

    ...Southern/central/east TX into the ArkLaMiss region...
    Extensive convection will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across
    parts of central/east TX. Rich low-level moisture, moderate
    buoyancy, and modestly enhanced low/midlevel flow could support at
    least an isolated threat for a tornado, locally damaging gusts, and
    perhaps some hail with the morning convection.

    Storm evolution during the day is uncertain, but in general, an arc
    of convection may spread northeastward toward the ArkLaTex/ArkLaMiss
    vicinities during the afternoon, in conjunction with the primary mid/upper-level low or any MCVs that develop. Locally damaging wind
    and possibly a tornado could accompany the storms within this
    regime.

    Some redevelopment is also possible along the trailing outflow
    during the afternoon and evening into south-central TX, with a
    threat of localized hail and wind-damage.

    ...Western/central PA into the northern Mid Atlantic...
    Moderate destabilization is expected Thursday afternoon from parts
    of western/central PA into the northern Mid Atlantic, along and
    south of a cold front. This region will be on the southern periphery
    of stronger west-northwesterly flow aloft, and with sufficient
    deep-layer shear for organized convection. However, with large-scale
    ascent generally displaced well to the north and very weak
    convergence expected along the front, potential for sustained deep
    convection currently appears limited. Severe probabilities may be
    needed if a stronger signal for robust development emerges with
    time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    MONTANA INTO MUCH OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms may occur Friday from Montana into the
    central Plains, with hail and corridors of damaging winds possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough will move across the Pacific Northwest during the
    day and into the northern Rockies late, with an upper ridge building
    from northern Mexico into AZ/NM. Meanwhile, modest westerly flow
    aloft will exist over the Northeast as a weak disturbance moves
    across AR/MO and into the mid MS/Lower OH Valleys.

    At the surface, low pressure will exist across the Great Basin with
    a southwest flow regime south of the upper trough, with a lee trough
    along the length of the High Plains. Increasing boundary layer
    theta-e will spread into the High Plains via southeast winds,
    resulting in an elongated area of scattered severe storm potential
    during the afternoon and evening.

    ...MT into the central High Plains...
    Strong heating will occur over much of west-central/southwest MT,
    and extending into WY CO and NM, as well as western NE/KS/TX-OK
    Panhandles, resulting in steep lapse rates. Meanwhile, southeast
    surface winds will bring moisture northwestward into the High
    Plains, with a large area of moderate instability developing.

    Storms are expected to form by 21Z over western MT, with additional
    storms into eastern WY/northeast CO. These will likely produce hail
    and areas of damaging wind. Other isolated storms are likely all the
    way south into eastern NM/western TX.

    Elsewhere, strong instability and ample moisture may result in
    scattered strong storms over much of MO, AR, LA, MS and vicinity,
    though the likelihood of ongoing early storms and outflows results
    in low predictability at this time. Locally strong gusts may occur.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    MONTANA INTO MUCH OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms may occur Friday from Montana into the
    central Plains, with hail and corridors of damaging winds possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A weak shortwave trough will move through the Ozarks into the mid
    Mississippi Valley region on Friday. This feature will likely lose
    amplitude with time. Farther west, a stronger shortwave trough will
    move into the northern Rockies by late afternoon/evening while
    surface ridging will build into the Southwest and southern High
    Plains.

    ...Montana into the central High Plains...
    Strong surface heating and a lee trough promoting moisture influx
    into these regions will lead to an elongated region of greater
    confidence in severe storm coverage from Montana into the northern
    Texas Panhandle. With the trough approaching the northern Rockies,
    the highest storm coverage will likely be in Montana into parts of
    Wyoming. Effective shear in these areas (particularly near the Big
    Horns) will range from 45-55 kts. Large hail, including some
    potential for stones around 2 inches in diameter, and severe wind
    gusts are probable. Farther to the south, storm coverage will
    gradually become more limited, especially away from terrain
    initiation sources. Even so, clusters of initial supercells or small
    linear segments will pose some risk for large hail and severe wind
    gusts as well.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...
    Along the southern fringe of stronger mid-level flow, a few storms
    are possible along a weak surface boundary near the
    Maryland/Pennsylvania border. Some model guidance shows a weak
    shortwave perturbation moving into the region, but timing and
    strength of the feature are variable. Mid-level lapse rates are
    expected to be weak and buoyancy will largely depend on surface
    heating. Given the uncertainty in cloud cover, it appears any severe
    will be conditional. A few stronger storms are possible and trends
    in guidance will be monitored with regard to areas of sufficient
    surface heating.

    ...Southeast/Mid-South/Lower Ohio Valley...
    Scattered thunderstorms are likely near and ahead of the weak
    upper-level shortwave trough that will be slowly lifting northeast
    through the Ozarks. Areas of precipitation and cloud cover are
    likely during the morning/afternoon. This increases the uncertainty
    as to where the greatest amount of destabilization will occur. Some
    modest flow enhancement appears probable for the Mid-South/lower
    Ohio Valley vicinity, though mid-level winds will weaken through the
    day. Greater buoyancy is expected in Mississippi, but deep-layer
    shear will be much weaker. There is certainly potential for isolated
    wind damage from the stronger storms tomorrow afternoon, but
    confidence in highlighting an area of greater coverage of organized
    severe storms is low at this point.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms capable of large hail and isolated damaging
    wind gusts will be possible across parts of the central and northern
    High Plains Saturday afternoon and evening. Marginally severe storms
    will also be possible in parts of southern and central Plains.

    ...Central and Northern High Plains...
    A mid-level ridge will move eastward across the north-central U.S.
    on Saturday. In the wake of the ridge, a subtle shortwave trough
    will move into the central and northern High Plains. At the surface,
    a moist airmass will be present across much of the Great Plains.
    Upslope flow will be in place over the central and northern High
    Plains, where a pocket of moderate to strong instability is forecast
    to develop Saturday afternoon. As surface temperatures warm during
    the day, convection will first initiate in the higher terrain from
    east-central Montana southeastward to the Black Hills. From this
    convection, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and move
    eastward into the lower elevations of the central and northern High
    Plains.

    An impressive thermodynamic environment is forecast to be in place
    by Saturday afternoon from northeast Wyoming into western Nebraska,
    where model forecasts suggest MLCAPE could peak around 4000 J/kg.
    Near the instability maximum, 700-500 mb lapse rates are forecast to
    be near 8 C/km. In spite of this, forecast soundings in the central
    and northern High Plains have a capping inversion in place during
    the afternoon. This should keep the initial convective development
    confined to the higher terrain of southeast Montana, northeast
    Wyoming and southwestern South Dakota. Forecasts soundings late
    Saturday afternoon in this area mostly have 0-6 km shear in the 30
    to 40 knot range, mainly due to mid-level speed shear. The shear,
    combined with the moderate to strong instability, will likely
    support a severe threat. Supercells should be capable of isolated
    large hail and severe wind gusts. The threat is expected to persist
    into the mid to late evening, as low-level flow increases.

    ...Southern and Central Plains...
    A mid-level ridge will move eastward across the Great Plains on
    Saturday. At the surface, a moist airmass will be located across
    much of the southern and central Plains. As surface temperatures
    warm during the day, moderate instability is forecast to develop
    throughout much of this airmass. Due to the presence of the ridge,
    large-scale ascent will remain weak in most areas. In spite of this,
    isolated thunderstorms may still develop in areas where low-level
    convergence and surface heating are maximized, and further west in
    the higher terrain of the central and southern High Plains. Forecast
    soundings late Saturday afternoon across the southern and central
    Plains generally have large surface-temperature dewpoint spreads
    with steep lapse rates. This environment will also have sufficient
    deep-layer shear for isolated severe storms. Hail and marginally
    severe wind gusts are expected to be the primary threats.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    MONTANA INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms capable of large hail and damaging wind
    gusts will be possible across parts of the central and northern High
    Plains Saturday afternoon and evening. Additional severe storms will
    also be possible in parts of southern and central Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-level trough in the eastern U.S. will weaken during the
    day on Saturday. Ridging will become more prevalent within the
    Plains and Southwest. Within the Northwest and northern Rockies,
    troughing will remain in place. A moist airmass will be in place
    underneath the upper ridge and will continue to move north and
    westward given the presence of lee troughing.

    ...Montana into central High Plains...
    With the upper-level trough remaining situated within the
    Northwest/eastern Pacific, moderate mid-level winds and surface
    troughing will remain in these regions. Moisture should continue to
    advect into the High Plains/central Montana. Effective shear of
    40-55 kts will again support supercell development/maintenance at
    least early in the convective cycle. Large to very large hail and
    severe winds will be possible. One or more clusters may also evolve
    through the afternoon and into the evening. With the low-level jet
    focusing into Nebraska/South Dakota, clusters could persist a bit
    farther east in these locations. Severe gusts would be the primary
    threat with that activity.

    ...Central/southern Plains...
    The overall evolution of convection is less certain in these areas.
    Some guidance continues to show some potential for activity from
    overnight Friday to continue into Saturday. Whether this activity
    could reinvigorate as the very moist airmass destabilizes during the
    day is not clear. With shear decreasing with eastward extent, such a
    scenario would largely be dependent on mesoscale cold pool dynamics.
    For now, marginal severe wind probabilities will be maintained over
    much of Kansas/Oklahoma in order to account for this conditional
    outcome.

    Storms are more likely to initiate within the higher terrain or
    surface lee trough during the afternoon. However, weaker mid-level
    ascent with southern extent suggests storm coverage will be more
    isolated in the southern High Plains/Trans-Pecos/Big Bend. Isolated
    severe gusts and large hail are possible with these cells/clusters.

    ...Eastern South Dakota/far western Minnesota...
    A modest increase in the low-level jet during the evening/overnight
    may promote widely scattered to scattered storms along a boundary.
    Marginal deep-layer shear and steep mid-level lapse rates would
    support some risk for marginally severe hail.

    ...Southeast into Mid-Atlantic...
    A nebulous upper-level trough will continue to slowly progress east.
    This feature will likely weaken with time. The moist airmass across
    these areas may support pockets of larger MLCAPE (from around 1500
    J/kg farther east, increasing to near 3000 farther west). With poor
    lapse rates, ongoing precipitation/cloud cover, and weak mid-level
    winds, organized severe storms do not appear likely. Isolated wind
    damage may occur where locally greater surface heating occurs.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms, capable of large hail and severe wind
    gusts, are expected on Sunday in parts of the northern and central
    High Plains. Additional strong to severe storms are possible in
    parts of North Carolina and Virginia.

    ...Central and Northern Plains...
    A mid-level ridge will remain in place across the High Plains on
    Sunday, as a subtle shortwave trough moves into the central and
    northern Rockies. At the surface, a low is forecast to deepen over
    Wyoming as upslope easterly flow remains in place across much of the
    central and northern Plains. Across the moist airmass, surface
    dewpoints will be mostly in the 60s F, which will contribute to the
    development of moderate to strong instability by afternoon.
    Convection is expected to initiate in the higher terrain of the
    northern High Plains, with storms moving eastward into the lower
    elevations during the mid to late afternoon. Large-scale ascent
    should remain relatively weak, favoring discrete modes.

    Forecast soundings near the instability axis at 21z have 0-6 km
    shear around 40 knots which will support supercell development. In
    addition to the shear, 700-500 mb lapse rates are forecast to be
    very steep in the 8 to 9 C/km range. This will be favorable for
    large hail with supercells. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in
    diameter will be possible within the more intense cores. A
    wind-damage threat is also expected to develop. Low-level flow will
    increase during the early evening, which will help maintain a severe
    threat.

    Further to the east into parts of the mid Missouri Valley, and
    southward into the southern Plains, convective coverage is expected
    to remain very isolated due to warm air aloft and the presence of
    the mid-level ridge. In spite of this, some convection will be
    possible as low-level convergence increases during the day along
    pre-existing outflow boundaries. Mid-level directional shear is
    evident on forecast soundings. This could be sufficient for some
    cell organization and a severe threat. Hail and strong wind gusts
    would be possible.

    ...Northern North Carolina/Southern Virginia...
    A subtle mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move into the
    southern and central Appalachians on Sunday. At the surface, a lee
    low is forecast to develop over central North Carolina. Surface
    dewpoints will be in the upper 60 to mid 70s F from the Appalachian
    foothills to the North Carolina and Virginia coasts. Topographic
    forcing in the Appalachians and large-scale ascent ahead of the
    approaching trough will support scattered convective initiation
    around midday. These storms will move eastward into the lower
    elevations during the afternoon. As low-level lapse rates become
    steep in the mid to late afternoon, a few marginally severe wind
    gusts will be possible with the stronger multicells.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms, capable of large hail and severe wind
    gusts, are expected on Sunday in parts of the northern and central
    High Plains. Additional strong to severe storms are possible in
    parts of North Carolina and Virginia.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper-level high will remain in place across the central/northern
    Plains into the northern Rockies on D2/Sunday. Westerly flow aloft
    will move across the ridge, with a few shortwave impulses rotating
    through the flow. Afternoon thunderstorm development is expected
    from the Northern Rockies southward across the dryline in the
    central high Plains. A surface low is expected to deepen across
    Wyoming through the period, lifting northward across the Dakotas.

    ...Central and Northern Plains...
    As the surface low across Wyoming deepens, east to southeasterly
    flow will continue across the central and northern Plains. Dew
    points in the low to mid 60s will be common, allowing for strong to
    moderate instability to develop by the afternoon. Upslope flow
    across the northern Rockies and forcing for ascent with shortwaves
    rounding the ridge will allow for scattered thunderstorm development
    across the high terrain spreading into the lower elevations through
    the later afternoon/evening. Generally straight hodograph profiles
    will support initial supercell modes before clustering and upscale
    growth occurs into the late afternoon. Given steep lapse rates and
    ample deep layer shear, large to very large hail (some 2-3"+) will
    be possible.

    As the surface low deepens into the afternoon, mass response will
    occur with an increase in a southerly low-level jet into the western
    Dakotas. CAM guidance shows some uncertainty in evolution of storms
    as they move eastward out of Montana. There is consistent signal
    that an MCS will travel eastward across some portions of the
    Dakotas, with potential for strong to significant winds (60-75+
    mph). Should a more favorable corridor become established, an
    upgrade to higher probabilities may be needed.

    ...Southern/South-Central Plains into the Missouri Valley...
    An MCS will likely be ongoing across portions of Oklahoma into
    northern Texas early in the period. Residual outflow in association
    with this will set up across portion of north-central Texas into
    Missouri. Convective re-development may be somewhat inhibited due to
    warm air aloft and the presence of the mid-level ridge. In spite of
    this, some convection will be possible as low-level convergence
    increases during the day along pre-existing outflow boundaries.
    Mid-level directional shear is evident on forecast soundings. This
    could be sufficient for some cell organization and a severe threat.
    Hail and strong wind gusts would be possible.

    ...Northern North Carolina/Southern Virginia...
    A subtle mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move into the
    southern and central Appalachians on Sunday. At the surface, a lee
    low is forecast to develop over central North Carolina. Scattered
    thunderstorm activity is expected to develop by the afternoon across
    northern North Carolina into southern Virginia. Sufficient deep
    layer and instability will allow for a few instances of severe wind
    and hail within stronger cores.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...MINNESOTA AND NORTHWESTERN WISCONSIN...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms with large to very large hail and wind
    damage are expected on Monday from the north-central High Plains
    northeastward into the upper Mississippi Valley. Outside of this
    area, marginally severe storms will be possible across much of the
    central and northern U.S.

    ...Minnesota/Wisconsin/South Dakota/Iowa/Nebraska...
    A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward across the Dakotas
    on Monday, as an associated 45 to 60 knot mid-level jet translates
    eastward through the system. At the surface, a cold front will
    advance southward through the northern Plains. Convection will
    initially develop near the front across the Dakotas during the late
    morning, moving eastward into central and northern Minnesota during
    the afternoon. This activity will likely have an isolated severe
    threat. To the south of the front, surface dewpoints from the mid
    60s to the low 70s F will contribute to moderate to strong
    instability by afternoon. Convective initiation further to the south
    across parts of southeastern South Dakota and south-central
    Minnesota should hold off until late afternoon when low-level
    convergence along the front is expected to become maximized.
    Scattered severe thunderstorms will likely develop near and to the
    south of the front, moving eastward into the upper Mississippi
    Valley from late afternoon into the evening.

    NAM forecast soundings along and near the instability axis late
    Monday afternoon have MLCAPE peaking in the 2500 to 3500 J/kg range,
    with 0-6 km shear near 50 knots. This, combined with 700-500 mb
    lapse rates of 7.5 to 8.5 C/km, will be favorable for supercells
    with large hail. Mid-level lapse rates and instability is forecast
    to be greatest from far northeast Nebraska into southeast South
    Dakota and south-central Minnesota, where supercells could produce
    hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter. The greatest severe
    threat coverage is expected from far eastern South Dakota into
    southwest and central Minnesota, where large-scale ascent will be
    enhanced by the exit region of the mid-level jet. This area will
    also have a strong low-level jet response, which is forecast to
    increase 0-3 km storm-relative helicity into the 250 to 350 m2/s2
    range by early evening. As a result, a tornado threat is also
    expected. Wind damage will also be possible with supercells and
    short bowing line segments.

    ...Kansas/Oklahoma...
    A very moist and unstable airmass will be in place across much of
    the southern and central Plains on Monday. Surface dewpoints will be
    in the mid 60s to the lower 70s F. As surface temperatures warm
    during the day, MLCAPE is forecast to increase into the 3000 to 4000
    J/kg range. Within this unstable airmass, a substantial amount of
    low to mid-level directional shear is forecast. This will support an
    isolated severe threat with any cells that can overcome the warm air
    aloft. The greatest potential for isolated severe storms should be
    along any pre-existing boundaries, mainly during the late afternoon
    and early evening.

    ...Northern Rockies/North Dakota...
    A post-frontal airmass will be in place from the northern Rockies
    eastward into North Dakota. Surface dewpoints in the 50s F will
    contribute to moderate instability over much of the region by
    afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms appear likely to develop in the
    higher terrain of the northern Rockies and northern High Plains as
    surface temperatures warm during the day. Due to a lack of
    large-scale ascent, convective coverage should remain isolated.
    Deep-layer shear is forecast to be strong enough for isolated severe
    storms. Hail and strong wind gusts will be the primary threats.
