    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Sunday along parts of the
    coast in the Pacific Northwest, but severe thunderstorms are not
    expected.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper-level trough will move across the eastern U.S. on Sunday,
    as an upper-level ridge moves into the Great Plains. A large surface
    high will keep the airmass relatively dry across much of the eastern
    half of the nation. In the west, a shortwave trough will approach
    the Pacific Northwest coast. Ahead of this feature, strong
    large-scale ascent and steep lapse rates should be sufficient for
    isolated thunderstorm development along the coast of Oregon and
    Washington from Sunday afternoon into the evening and overnight. No
    severe threat is expected on Sunday or Sunday night across the
    continental United States.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain likely across parts of
    the coastal Pacific Northwest, the Four Corners region, and across
    the Great Lakes tomorrow (Monday). No severe weather is expected.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad mid-level trough will amplify across the western and central
    CONUS, supporting broad surface lee troughing and accompanying
    low-level moisture return across the Plains and MS Valleys tomorrow
    (Monday). Cooler temperatures aloft, combined with strong synoptic
    forcing for ascent, will promote isolated to potentially scattered
    thunderstorm development near the shoreline of the Pacific
    Northwest, and across the Four Corners region. Meanwhile, low-level
    warm-air advection will transpire across the Great Lakes Monday
    evening into the overnight as the terminus of a pronounced low-level
    jet overspreads the region. Here, low-level convergence will foster
    the potential for at least isolated thunderstorm development.
    Finally, isolated thunderstorms may develop just off the coast of
    the Carolinas as richer low-level moisture meanders along the
    Atlantic Coastline. However, thunderstorms should remain far enough
    offshore to preclude thunderstorm highlights this outlook.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE MID MISSOURI AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD
    INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms, with hail and strong wind gusts, are
    expected Tuesday night from the mid Missouri and upper Mississippi
    Valley south-southwestern into northern sections of the southern
    Plains.

    ...Southern and Central Plains/Mid Missouri and Upper Mississippi
    Valleys...
    An upper-level trough will move across the Desert Southwest on
    Tuesday, as an associated mid-level jet translates through the
    eastern part of the system into the central Plains. At the surface,
    a cold front will advance southeastward across the northern Plains
    as a low deepens in southwestern Nebraska. As low-level flow and
    convergence increase along the front during the evening, convective
    initiation appears likely. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to
    develop from the central Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley
    within the mid to late evening, where instability should be
    sufficient for isolated severe storms. Thunderstorm coverage is
    expected to gradually increase in the overnight period, with
    additional storms developing over northern parts of the southern
    Plains.

    The latest ECMWF model forecast suggests that the most favorable
    area for severe thunderstorm development will be in the mid Missouri
    Valley during the late evening on Tuesday. NAM forecast soundings
    near and to the north of Omaha at 06Z/Wednesday show a capping
    inversion above 850 mb, with MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg, effective
    shear of 45 to 50 knots, and 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7 C/km.
    This environment would support supercells with isolated large hail.
    Storms that develop to the east of the boundary will likely be
    elevated with hail as the primary threat. Storms that form near the
    front will have more of chance to be surface-based. Any intense cell
    that can become surface or nearly surface-based could produce
    isolated severe wind gusts. As storm coverage increases overnight, a
    marginal severe threat should be maintained due to the strengthening
    low-level flow, with the severe threat areal coverage expanding south-southwestward with time. The late convective initiation and
    lack of instability are the main limiting factors preventing an
    outlook upgrade at this time.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER MISSOURI
    VALLEY AND WESTERN OZARKS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with large hail and severe wind gusts, are
    expected on Wednesday across the southern and central Plains
    extending eastward into the lower to mid Mississippi Valley and
    Ozarks.

    ...Southern and Central Plains/Lower to Mid Missouri Valley/Mid to
    Upper Mississippi Valley/Ozarks...
    An upper-level trough will move across the Desert Southwest on
    Wednesday, as a fetch of southwesterly mid-level flow remains over
    the Great Plains and mid to upper Mississippi Valley. The trough is
    forecast to reach the southern High Plains by late Wednesday
    afternoon as an associated mid-level jet translates northeastward
    into the central Plains. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward across the central Plains and lower to mid Missouri
    Valley on Wednesday. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints will be
    in the 60s F, with weak instability developing by afternoon over
    much of the pre-frontal airmass. Convective initiation is expected
    to occur early in the period across the central Plains extending
    northeastward into the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. An isolated
    severe threat will be likely as cells increase in coverage during
    the late morning and early afternoon. MCS development is expected to
    take place by afternoon, with a relatively large convective cluster
    or line gradually moving eastward across eastern and southern Kansas
    extending southward into Oklahoma. Strong low-level flow,
    large-scale ascent associated with the upper-level trough, rich
    low-level moisture and moderate deep-layer shear will be favorable
    for a severe threat Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    The strongest instability is forecast to develop across southern
    Kansas and northwest Oklahoma by Wednesday afternoon. In this area,
    NAM forecast soundings increase MLCAPE to around 1500 J/kg by 21Z,
    with 0-3 km lapse rates peaking in the 7 to 7.5 C/km range. 0-6 km
    shear is forecast to be between 50 and 60 knots, with 0-3 km
    storm-relative helicity peaking in the 200 to 300 m2/s2 range. This
    environment appears likely to support supercells with large hail and
    severe wind gusts. An isolated tornado threat will also be possible
    with rotating storms that remain discrete. As the MCS increases in
    size during the afternoon, a mixed mode is expected with supercells
    and organized multicells. Some models, like the ECMWF, suggest the
    convection will line out in the central Plains. This would favor a
    wind-damage threat along the leading edge of the line. The most
    favorable threat for severe storms would be with rotating storms
    embedded in the line, and with discrete cells ahead of the line.
    Further south into Oklahoma, cells are forecast to be primarily
    discrete suggesting that a severe threat with large hail and severe
    wind gusts will be likely. A tornado threat could also develop
    southward into Oklahoma during the late afternoon and early evening.
    The severe threat should eventually impact parts of north Texas. A
    severe threat is expected to persist into the late evening, and
    perhaps into the early overnight period, as the MCS moves through
    the lower Missouri Valley and Ozarks.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER
    TO MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with isolated severe wind gusts, will be
    possible Thursday afternoon along a narrow corridor from the Sabine
    River Valley north-northeastward into far southern Lower Michigan.

    ...Sabine River Valley/Lower to Mid Mississippi Valley/Lower Ohio Valley/Southern Great Lakes...
    A negatively-tilted upper-level trough, and an associated 70 to 80
    knot mid-level speed max, will move northeastward into the Great
    Lakes on Thursday. At the surface, a cold front will advance
    eastward into the Ark-La-Tex and mid Mississippi Valley. Ahead of
    the front, surface dewpoints in the 60s F will contribute to weak destabilization in most areas by midday. Convection is expected to
    initiate along and ahead the front during the late morning as
    surface temperatures warm. Thunderstorms should gradually increase
    in coverage in the afternoon, moving eastward across the lower to
    mid Mississippi Valley, and lower Ohio Valley.

    Model solutions appear to present two scenarios. The first solution,
    which is depicted by the NAM, initiates convection near the front
    around midday from east-central Texas north-northeastward into the
    mid Mississippi Valley, with a second north-to-south band of storms
    developing much further east in the lower Mississippi Valley. The
    second solution, which is depicted by the ECMWF, focuses most of the
    convection further east near the center of the low-level moisture
    corridor in the lower to mid Mississippi Valley. Strong outflow from
    the previous night's convection is forecast to surge southeastward
    across much of central and east Texas Thursday morning, which could
    favor the second scenario, with an effective frontal boundary much
    further east.

    The severe threat should be concentrated along and near the axis of
    the strongest low-level flow, which is forecast to be in the lower
    to mid Mississippi Valley, and lower Ohio Valley. Forecast soundings
    near the moist axis in the afternoon have MLCAPE peaking from around
    500 J/kg in the lower Ohio Valley to 1500 J/kg in the lower
    Mississippi Valley. Moderate deep-layer shear is forecast along much
    of the moist axis, where low-level lapse rates could peak near 7
    C/km in areas that heat up the most. This environment will likely
    support an isolated wind-damage threat during the afternoon, with
    the stronger and more organized multicells. A marginal tornado
    threat may also develop, mainly from western Tennessee
    south-southwestward into northern Louisiana, where the combination
    of instability and shear is forecast to be maximized, in conjunction
    with steep low-level lapse rates.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    LOWER MICHIGAN SOUTHWESTWARD TO NORTHEASTERN TEXAS/NORTHERN
    LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Locally strong storms -- a couple of which may produce marginally
    severe gusts -- will be possible Thursday morning and afternoon,
    from the Midwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana.

    ...Synopsis...
    A progressing short-wave trough initially forecast over the Middle
    Missouri Valley area is expected to move quickly northeastward
    toward/across the Great Lakes region through the first half of the
    period, and then into Ontario/Quebec overnight. At the surface, an
    associated cold front will move eastward across the Great Lakes and
    Ohio Valley areas, while moving more slowly southeastward across the
    Lower Mississippi Valley and southern Plains. By the end of the
    period, the boundary should extend from the Northeast to the Texas
    Coast.

    ...Southern Lower Michigan southwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana...
    Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing near and ahead of an
    advancing cold front -- which is initially forecast to lie from the
    southern Wisconsin vicinity southwestward to central Texas. With
    the associated upper system forecast to be ejecting quickly
    northeastward into/across the Upper Great Lakes region, decreasing
    ascent and weakening flow aloft is expected with time from roughly
    the Ohio Valley southward. Meanwhile, weak instability north of the
    Ohio Valley will be an overall limiting factor, despite more
    favorable kinematics.

    Overall, it appears that Level 1/MRGL risk remains appropriate, to
    cover the potential for a few stronger storms/line segments to
    produce strong/gusty winds that may locally reach severe levels.
    Risk should be greatest during the morning and afternoon hours,
    after which decreasing convective intensity and attendant severe
    potential is expected.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE PERMIAN
    BASIN AND SOUTH PLAINS OF WEST TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are possible on Saturday into Saturday night
    across parts of the southern Great Plains. The most likely corridor
    for a couple tornadoes and large hail is across a part of the
    Permian Basin and South Plains of west Texas during the late
    afternoon and early evening.

    ...Southern Great Plains...
    Widespread convection will be ongoing at 12Z Saturday over the
    southern High Plains, centered on southeast NM to the Panhandles,
    within a robust low-level warm theta-e advection regime. A
    semi-organized linear cluster may be present along the southern edge
    of the convective swath, and could be maintained through the diurnal
    heating cycle. Low to mid-level lapse rates downstream will be weak,
    suggesting localized strong gusts early.

    A mesoscale corridor of sustained supercell potential is evident
    over parts of the Permian Basin and South Plains from mid-afternoon
    to early evening. Regenerative convective development is expected in
    the wake of morning activity, along the effective outflow-reinforced
    baroclinic zone arcing to the west-southwest. Best potential for
    boundary-layer heating will be across the TX Trans-Pecos. Downstream
    of a full-latitude trough from the Canadian Rockies to the northern
    Gulf of CA, a strengthening upper jet over northern Mexico should
    overspread the Trans-Pecos late day. This will yield favorable mid
    to upper-level hodograph elongation with southwesterly speed shear
    immediately downstream. A couple longer-lived supercells may develop
    and move along the mesoscale outflow boundary, with a threat for
    golf- to tennis-ball-sized hail, despite moderate mid-level lapse
    rates. With an early evening increase in the low-level jet, a couple
    tornadoes may develop as well.

    Mid-level lapse rates will be weaker with a more moist-adiabatic
    profile extending northeastward into OK. Still, with the evening
    increase in the low-level jet, potential will exist for low-level
    rotation with embedded convection along the baroclinic zone. While
    convective mode will be messy, and uncertainty exists with the
    spatial placement of the corridor in the wake of daytime convection,
    the persistent influx of mid 60s surface dew points suggests a
    low-probability tornado/wind threat may extend into Saturday night.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE PERMIAN
    BASIN VICINITY EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe storms are expected Saturday and Saturday night
    across parts of the southern Great Plains. The most likely corridor
    for a couple tornadoes and large hail is across parts of the Permian
    Basin and South Plains of Texas during the late afternoon and early
    evening.

    ...Synopsis...
    Digging/intensification -- and gradual/steady progression -- of the
    western U.S. upper trough is expected Saturday. As this system
    shifts from the West Coast states across the Great Basin and into
    the Desert Southwest, substantial downstream mid-level height falls
    will occur across the central and southern Plains.

    At the surface, a remnant baroclinic zone -- extending from Texas
    eastward across the Southeast -- will mark the northern extent of
    the moist Gulf low-level airmass. This boundary -- in response to
    persistent southeasterly low-level flow -- should tend to retreat
    northwestward across Texas/Oklahoma, though likely to become impeded
    by convective outflow. The result will likely become a convectively
    reinforced boundary extending from the Permian Basin vicinity east-northeastward into Oklahoma, which will focus persistent,
    regenerative convection and some attendant severe risk through the
    period.

    ...Transpecos region and southeastern New Mexico northeastward into
    central and northern Oklahoma...
    Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing at the start of
    the period from southeastern New Mexico northeastward into southern
    Kansas, with potentially some local/low-end severe risk on the
    southern fringe of this convection. South of the convection, some heating/destabilization is expected -- particularly across the Transpecos/Permian Basin region. Here, an afternoon increase in
    convection -- likely in the form of supercells -- is expected to
    occur. Here, large hail will be possible, along with potential for
    locally damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes.

    Into the evening, convection should increase in coverage -- likely
    evolving into multiple linear bands, as a low-level jet increases.
    Though instability should remain lesser with northeastward extent
    into Oklahoma, owing to relatively weak lapse rates, multiple rounds
    of banded convection should be accompanied by risk for locally
    strong wind gusts, along with marginal hail and potentially a
    tornado or two. This potential should persist well into the
    overnight hours.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF OK TO
    THE TX BIG COUNTRY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are possible in multiple rounds from midday
    Sunday through Sunday night. The most likely area affected includes
    parts of Oklahoma into north and west-central Texas. Tornadoes,
    damaging winds, and large hail may occur.

    ...Synopsis...
    A full-latitude mid/upper trough will gradually progress east onto
    the Prairie Provinces and across the Desert Southwest/northwest
    Mexico. Multiple upper jet streaks are consistently progged ahead of
    the trough over the Great Plains. Mid-level southwesterlies will
    also strengthen, but the fastest flow will remain on the backside of
    the trough through Sunday afternoon. This jetlet will progress into
    the base of the trough on Sunday night, coincident with a vigorous
    shortwave impulse. Initial surface cyclogenesis will occur over the
    central High Plains and track into MN/IA by 12Z Monday. Additional
    cyclogenesis will occur Sunday night across the Pecos Valley into
    western north TX.

    ...Central to southern Great Plains...
    A complex setup remains evident during the D2 period with multiple
    rounds of severe potential anticipated.

    A decaying MCS should be ongoing across parts of the Ozarks
    southwestward into north TX, with outflow reinforcing a baroclinic
    zone across the Red River region. Guidance is highly consistent in
    suggesting the next round of west TX convection developing by late
    morning. This activity should intensify and increase in coverage
    midday through the afternoon as it tracks along the baroclinic zone
    that amplifies with differential surface heating. CAMs consistently
    indicate quick upscale growth to an organized linear cluster, with
    embedded supercell structures amid strong mid/upper southwesterlies.
    Low-level shear will initially be modest, and does not appear to be
    favorably timed with the relatively early upscale growth. Still,
    this potential MCS will eventually impinge on greater low-level SRH
    as it tracks towards and east of the I-35 corridor, yielding some
    embedded tornado risk. A final round of strong to severe convection
    should develop overnight across west TX as forcing for ascent
    increases again ahead of the aforementioned wave. Across these
    multiple rounds, a mixed/all-hazards threat will be possible.

    A separate area of low-level warm advection-driven convection may
    develop across the northeast TX vicinity during the afternoon. Weak
    mid-level lapse rates and convection along the instability gradient
    will probably temper the overall threat. But adequate low-level SRH
    will exist for a low-probability, all-hazards threat.

    Convective development along the dryline near the central High
    Plains cyclone in western KS is uncertain. The deleterious effects
    of persistent OK/north TX convection should yield a rather confined
    and limited MLCAPE plume in KS. Conditionally, the environment will
    be favorable for discrete supercells with highly elongated mid/upper
    hodographs and steep mid-level lapse rates. A sustained supercell or
    two might become established in the 00-03Z time frame. Otherwise,
    some later evening elevated hail risk may occur downstream into NE
    and north KS.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SABINE TO

    ...SUMMARY...
    A brief tornado or two and locally damaging winds may occur on
    Tuesday across a portion of the Sabine to Lower Mississippi Valleys,
    and central to southern Wisconsin.

    ...Gulf Coast States...
    Lingering convection on Tuesday morning should be confined along a
    slowing cold front in the TX Gulf Coast to the Sabine Valley. Some
    of this activity might produce small hail along the TX Gulf Coast
    portion where the surface front will likely shift off the coast by
    mid-morning. Farther northeast, adequate low-level shear should be
    maintained through at least midday, yielding potential for rotating
    convection. But mid-level lapse rates will remain weak, and
    large-scale ascent will be pulling away from the region through the
    day. Some convective redevelopment is possible along the
    front/residual outflows midday into the afternoon. Locally strong
    gusts and a brief tornado will be possible during the first half of
    the period. Low to deep-layer shear magnitudes are expected to
    diminish from south to north during the evening.

    Across the FL Keys, based on latest NHC track/intensity forecast for
    PTC 18 along with 00Z guidance, tornado potential is expected to
    remain negligible through 12Z Wednesday.

    ...Central/southern WI...
    A conditional, low-probability setup from low-topped convection is
    evident from about midday to mid-afternoon Tuesday. A deep surface
    cyclone around 995 mb should track northeast from IA to central WI.
    Some models suggest a mesoscale-focused corridor of modest diabatic
    surface heating may overlap the northwest periphery of mid to upper
    50s dew points. This could yield scant surface-based buoyancy
    immediately ahead of the cyclone. However, this heating may occur
    once low-level winds begin to veer, yielding low confidence in
    whether enlarged hodographs will overlap the meager instability.
    Still, with most 00Z CAMs indicating discrete convection,
    low-probability tornado/wind highlights appear warranted.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LOWER FL KEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few brief tornadoes will be possible within outer bands of
    Tropical Cyclone Rafael, from late morning into the evening
    Wednesday across the Keys and the far southern Peninsula of Florida.

    ...Keys/southern Peninsula of FL...
    Latest NHC forecast has Tropical Storm Rafael intensifying to a
    hurricane by 12Z Wednesday and moving across western Cuba into the
    eastern Gulf through early Thursday. Most 00Z guidance has trended
    farther northeast with the attendant belt of stronger low-level flow
    relative to 24 hours ago. As such, near-easterly surface winds
    veering to south-southeasterlies will yield hodograph enlargement.
    This increase should be favorably timed to the diurnal heating
    cycle, with peak low-level SRH anticipated during afternoon. Amid
    increasingly rich mean-mixing ratios of 17-18 g/kg, deeper outer
    band cells will likely rotate across the FL Straits and progress
    west-northwest across the Keys and adjacent peninsula. At least a
    few waterspouts appear probable and these may move across land as
    tornadoes. Overall threat should diminish Wednesday night as
    low-level SRH gradually subsides, and deep convection becomes
    confined to the Gulf.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN A PART OF WEST TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible, beginning in the late
    afternoon Thursday across parts of west and central Texas. The most
    likely corridor for large hail will be over a part of west Texas on
    Thursday evening/night.

    ...West/central TX...
    A mid/upper low will drift east across AZ/NM through much of the day
    Thursday. By Thursday night, it should accelerate as an attendant
    mid-level jet becomes confined to the southeast quadrant of the
    cyclone. While a surface ridge will initially nose down the southern
    High Plains from an anticyclone over the central High Plains, this
    will eventually lose amplitude. Weak cyclogenesis should occur late
    in the period along an inverted surface trough in parts of west TX.

    A persistent increase in low-level moisture from the western Gulf
    will return northwestward through the period. While some elevated
    convection will be possible during the day, initially from central
    to northwest TX, the bulk of convective development should occur in
    the evening/night as the low-level jet broadly intensifies. This
    will be coincident with a gradual increase in mid-level height falls overspreading west TX Thursday night.

    A mesoscale corridor of relatively greater supercell potential
    appears evident during the evening/night. This appears centered on
    parts of the Lower Pecos Valley/Permian Basin and the western
    Edwards Plateau regions near the surface trough. While low-level
    lapse rates should be weak, strong southwesterly speed shear in the
    mid to upper levels will be favorable for a primary threat of large
    hail with a mix of cells/small clusters. An abrupt cutoff to
    surface-based severe convection is expected to the north/west of
    this corridor, especially as weak cyclogenesis occurs. While
    consistency has increased in guidance relative to 24 hours, where
    exactly this demarcation is will likely be modulated by how
    widespread elevated convection becomes during the evening to night.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL TO
    NORTH TX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible through early evening
    Friday across parts of central to north Texas.

    ...TX...
    A deep mid/upper-level cyclone will move north-northeastward from NM
    into the central High Plains. A weak surface low will similarly
    track northward from northwest TX into western KS before occluding.
    A trailing outflow-reinforced cold front should push east into
    central TX by late afternoon Friday. A surface ridge initially
    across the Mid-South will limit more substantial moisture return
    north of the Red River.

    Extensive convection will likely be ongoing at 12Z Friday across
    parts of west TX/OK. An isolated/marginal severe threat could
    accompany the storms during the morning across the Edwards Plateau
    vicinity, where more favorable mid-level instability will be.
    Surface-based destabilization will struggle across northern parts of
    TX and this should support increasingly pronounced differential
    heating from south to north across central TX. Guidance consensus
    suggests a separate arc of afternoon thunderstorm development should
    occur within a warm conveyor ahead of the surface front. This could
    foster a mesoscale uptick in severe potential approaching the I-35
    corridor late day. While low-level SRH should be modest where MLCAPE
    is more than meager, rich western Gulf moisture will support
    potential for a few supercells. Hail/wind may be the primary
    threats, but a couple tornadoes are also possible. Guidance does
    differ with how quickly the outflow-reinforced cold front pushes
    east during the day, yielding moderate uncertainty of where a
    greater severe threat may be.

    Given the north-northeast track of the upper low and associated weak
    surface cyclone, forcing for ascent should progressively wane during
    the evening from south to north. This suggests the severe threat
    will likely diminish after sunset.

    A shortwave trough and its attendant surface cyclone over the Upper

    from the Mid-South to the OH Valley. Surface-based storms will be
    possible southwestward to the western/central Gulf Coast. Poor lapse
    rates, weak buoyancy, and diminishing vertical shear will preclude
    severe storms.

    Across south FL, as moisture increases within a southeasterly

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe storms are not expected Monday or Monday night.

    ...Southeast...
    Isolated, elevated thunderstorms may be ongoing across parts of the
    Carolina Coastal Plain. Weak tropospheric lapse rates will be a
    limiting factor to updraft intensity. Low-level flow will become
    increasingly veered during the day, yielding a predominately zonal
    flow regime. This should result in thunder potential shifting
    entirely offshore around midday.

    A few thunderstorms embedded within a corridor of slow-moving
    convection will be possible along a portion of the central Gulf
    Coast, before activity gradually wanes during the day. Isolated
    thunderstorms may also develop across a portion of south FL during
    the afternoon.

    ...Western WA/OR and northern CA...
    A leading shortwave trough and attendant surface cold front should
    move onshore Monday morning. In its wake, low to mid-level lapse
    rates will steepen amid meager buoyancy. An upstream shortwave
    impulse and persistent onshore low-level winds should support
    scattered, low-topped convection. Some of this will be sufficiently
    deep to foster sporadic lightning through Monday evening.
    Thunderstorm probabilities will diminish Monday night as the plume
    of steep mid-level lapse rates shifts farther inland.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHWEST
    TX TO FAR SOUTHWEST KS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe hail will be possible in parts of the southern
    High/Rolling Plains on Tuesday evening.

    ...Southern High/Rolling Plains...
    Zonal upper flow over the southern states will buckle as a
    full-latitude trough progresses eastward across the West. This
    trough should reach the Great Plains by 12Z Wednesday. Primary
    embedded shortwave impulse is expected to eject from the Four
    Corners into the central Great Plains. Low-level moisture quality
    downstream will be lacking, owing in part to the preceding presence
    of post-TC Rafael in the western Gulf. Modified moisture return will
    still emanate northward from northeast Mexico. Low to mid 50s
    surface dew points should reach the TX Panhandle by 00Z, with upper
    50s farther south in west TX. This should yield a narrow ribbon of
    weak buoyancy (MLCAPE around 500 J/kg), ahead of a sharpening
    surface trough.

    Confidence remains low in whether surface-based storms will become
    sustained prior to sunset, given the limited buoyancy and rather dry
    mid-levels within the southwesterly flow regime. More probable
    convective development is expected during the evening, as
    large-scale ascent increases with approach of the trough and
    strengthening low-level warm theta-e advection occurs. Favorable
    speed shear in the cloud-bearing layer will support potential for a
    few elevated supercells. Mid-level lapse rates appear modest, and
    this may hold hail magnitudes to marginally severe. The severe
    threat will probably be confined to the early/western portion of sustained-storm activity, but small hail may persist
    east-northeastward in parts of OK/KS Tuesday night.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER
    MS VALLEY AND NORTHEAST GULF COAST...FOR COASTAL WA/OR/NORTHERN CA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A marginal tornado/wind threat is apparent on Wednesday afternoon
    into Wednesday night across a part of the central Gulf Coast States. Thunderstorms with strong to locally severe gusts are also possible
    near the immediate coasts of Washington, Oregon, and northern
    California.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward from
    the Great Plains toward the Midwest and OH/TN Valleys on Wednesday.
    In conjunction with this shortwave trough, a weak surface low will
    move from the east-central Plains toward the Great Lakes region, as
    a trailing cold front moves through parts of the middle/lower MS
    Valley. Farther west, a deep mid/upper-level trough will progress
    farther inland across the western CONUS, as an embedded shortwave
    moves across northern CA into the interior Northwest.

    ...Lower Mississippi Valley/Central Gulf Coast region...
    Rich low-level moisture (with upper 60s to lower 70s F dewpoints) is
    forecast to gradually spread northward across the lower MS Valley
    region from later in the D1/Tuesday period into D2/Wednesday. Weak
    lapse rates will tend to limit instability, while stronger
    mid/upper-level flow will generally remain north of the richer
    moisture. However, deep-layer shear will likely become at least
    marginally supportive of organized storms, while some enhancement to
    low-level flow/shear is forecast as the shortwave trough to the
    north glances the region. This evolution could support a few
    marginal supercells and/or stronger clusters during the afternoon
    and evening, with a threat of locally damaging winds and possibly a
    tornado or two.

    Elevated storms will also be possible through the day/evening to the
    north of the richer surface moisture. While effective shear will be
    sufficient for a few strong elevated storms, the severe potential
    with northward extent will tend to be limited by weak midlevel lapse
    rates and generally marginal MUCAPE.

    ...WA/OR/northern CA coasts...
    Cooling temperatures aloft will support weak destabilization in the
    vicinity of the WA/OR/northern CA coasts through the day on
    Wednesday. While convection will be rather low-topped, instability
    may become sufficient (with SBCAPE potentially in the 200-500 J/kg
    range) for occasional thunderstorms. The strongest low-level flow
    will precede the primary destabilization, but persistent and rather
    strong deep-layer southwesterly flow could support modestly
    organized line segments and/or weakly rotating cells, with a threat
    of isolated severe convective gusts and perhaps some small hail. A
    brief tornado also cannot be ruled out, though the favored location
    (if any) of any longer-lived rotating cells remains uncertain at
    this time.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong storms will be possible near the central and northeast
    Gulf Coasts early on Thursday, and later across coastal parts of the
    Carolinas Thursday evening and night. Organized severe potential
    appears relatively low at this time.

    ...Synopsis...
    A negatively tilted mid/upper-level trough initially over the
    Midwest/Ohio Valley is forecast to dig southeastward on Thursday and
    evolve into a closed mid/upper-level low as it approaches the Mid
    Atlantic. As this occurs, a surface low is forecast to deepen
    Thursday night along a frontal boundary near the Coastal Carolinas.
    Farther west, a mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move
    eastward and amplify as it approaches the Pacific Coast and
    eventually moves inland.

    ...Central/northeast Gulf Coast vicinity...
    Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across parts
    of AL/GA and the FL Panhandle, aided by the mid/upper-level
    shortwave trough moving across the Ohio Valley and attendant
    low-level jet. Low-level flow will tend to veer and weaken through
    the day, which will tend to result in less convective organization
    with time. However, if organized convection from late on
    D1/Wednesday can persist into Thursday morning, then rich low-level
    moisture and sufficient low-level and deep-layer shear could support
    a threat of isolated damaging winds and possibly a tornado.
    Probabilities may eventually be needed if it appears that some
    severe threat may continue from overnight Wednesday into the first
    part of Thursday.

    ...Coastal Carolinas...
    Uncertainty remains regarding the northward extent of appreciable
    surface moistening/destabilization near the Coastal Carolinas, as
    the surface low deepens and tracks east-northeastward into Friday
    morning. However, there appears to be some potential for the
    effective warm front to overlap parts of coastal NC and the Outer
    Banks during the evening, as stronger deep-layer flow and ascent
    overspread the region. Increasingly widespread precipitation will
    tend to limit destabilization, but favorable wind profiles will
    support organized convective potential where modest buoyancy can
    develop. Probabilities may eventually be needed near the coast and
    Outer Banks, if confidence increases regarding the potential for
    isolated damaging winds and/or a tornado later in the forecast
    period.

    across the western CONUS, with some further amplification of this
    trough expected through the forecast period.

    Thunderstorm potential will be low across most of the CONUS due to
    generally limited moisture/instability. Some thunderstorm potential
    may linger very early in the period across coastal NC, before the
    low moves farther offshore with time. Weak convection with sporadic
    lightning flashes will be possible across parts of central/northern
    CA into the Great Basin in association with the western trough.
    Confidence in sufficient coverage remains too low to include any
    general thunderstorm areas across the West at this time.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts
    of western, central and northwest Texas from Sunday evening through
    daybreak on Monday, posing a risk for severe gusts and possibly a
    tornado or two.

    ...Southern High Plains...
    A mid-level low and an associated trough will move into northern
    Mexico on Sunday, reaching the southern High Plains Sunday night.
    Ahead of the trough, strong moisture advection will occur across the
    southern Plains. Surface dewpoints are forecast to increase in the
    50s F across parts of west and northwest Texas, and into the 60s F
    across much of west-central and north-central Texas. A large area of
    convection is expected to develop by early Sunday evening ahead of
    the trough from southeast New Mexico into parts of far west and
    west-central Texas. This will occur as a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet strengthens across the southern High Plains. Aided by strong
    large-scale ascent, and a rapid low-level jet response, scattered
    strong to severe storms are expected to develop over parts of the
    southern High Plains. Model forecasts are in relatively good
    agreement, showing potential for MCS development late Sunday evening
    into Sunday night.

    Although instability will remain weak ahead of the system, a steady
    ramp up of instability and low-level moisture is expected over the
    southern Plains. Between 03Z and 09Z on Sunday evening, ECMWF
    forecast soundings increase MLCAPE into the 500 to 1000 J/kg range
    over parts of west-central and northwest Texas. This suggests that
    the severe threat that develops with the MCS should continue into
    the overnight period. The current thinking is that a line of strong
    to severe storms will become organized and move across west-central
    and northwest Texas from late Sunday evening into the overnight. The
    primary mode is expected to be linear, although isolated discrete
    supercells, with tornado potential, may develop ahead of the line.
    Otherwise, the primary threat should be for severe gusts along the
    leading edge of a quasi-linear convective system. The severe threat
    may continue to the end of the period, as a band of focused
    large-scale ascent couples with a strong low-level jet to maintain
    strong convective development with the MCS.

    tornado will be possible across parts of north Texas and southern
    Oklahoma Monday morning. A marginal risk for severe gusts is
    expected across a relatively large area during the afternoon and
    evening from the eastern parts of the southern and central Plains
    eastward into the Ozarks and lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Southern and Central Plains/Ozarks/Lower Missouri Valley...
    A negatively-tilted mid-level trough is forecast to be in the
    southern High Plains at the start of the period. A squall-line is
    expected to be ongoing ahead of the trough at 12Z from central and
    north Texas into southern Oklahoma. Along the leading edge of this
    organized linear MCS, a wind-damage threat is expected Monday
    morning. A tornado will also be possible with any rotating element
    within the line. The line is expected to weaken by midday as the
    mid-level trough moves away to the northeast, with the associated
    low moving into the central Plains. As surface heating takes place,
    additional thunderstorms are expected to develop during the
    afternoon across parts of the southern and central Plains. Isolated
    severe gusts and hail will be possible with the stronger cells.
    Ahead of the trough, an isolated wind-damage and/or tornado threat
    may develop across the lower Missouri Valley and Ozarks during the
    late afternoon. The severe threat is expected to be marginal due to
    very weak instability.

    ...Sabine Valley/Lower Mississippi Valley...
    In the wake of the mid-level trough, southwesterly mid-level flow
    will be in place across the western Gulf Coast states on Monday. A
    moist and unstable airmass is forecast to move from far southeast
    Texas late Monday afternoon into southern Louisiana during the
    evening. Thunderstorms will likely develop across much of the Lower
    Mississippi Valley, as low-level flow increases in the evening.
    Model consensus suggests that MCS development will be likely across
    parts of the lower Mississippi Valley. A relatively large number of
    storms should help to overturn much of the airmass. Also, the
    stronger mid-level flow is forecast to remain well to the north,
    suggesting that any wind-damage threat associated with the MCS
    should be marginal.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts and perhaps a
    tornado will be possible across parts of the central Gulf states on Tuesday.

    ...Central Gulf Coast States...
    Southwesterly mid-level flow will remain in place over much of the
    Southeast on Tuesday, as a cold front advances eastward into the
    region. A moist airmass will be in place ahead of the front in the
    Gulf Coast states, with surface dewpoints from the mid 60s to lower
    70s F. As surface heating takes place during the day, thunderstorm
    development is expected from near the front eastward across the much
    of the moist sector. Although instability will be weak, strong
    low-level flow will aid convective development, and a few severe
    storms will be possible. The greatest severe threat will exist in
    the vicinity of the central Gulf Coast, where the combination of
    low-level shear and moisture may be enough for an isolated tornado threat.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe weather is not expected on Wednesday. Isolated thunderstorms
    are most likely over parts of Florida and the Carolinas, and along
    the coastal Pacific Northwest.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Wednesday, a deep upper trough will extend from a low over
    northern MN southward toward the Ozarks, and will pivot northeast
    across the OH Valley and Midwestern states, becoming negatively
    tilted. A tight midlevel temperature gradient and 130 kt speed max
    will relax somewhat through 00Z. Then, a secondary strong speed max
    will develop overnight from the mid MS Valley into the southern
    Appalachians.

    Meanwhile, an upper ridge will gradually move east toward the
    Rockies, with resulting northwest flow regime across the Plains.

    At the surface, high pressure will be entrenched from the Rockies
    into the central and southern Plains, and extending into the Gulf of
    Mexico where strong offshore flow will exist. A low will develop
    near Lake Erie during the day, with the cold front pushing into the
    Mid Atlantic to the Carolinas late in the day.

    ...Carolinas...
    Low-level moisture with 60s F dewpoints will spread north across the
    eastern Carolinas and into southeast VA through 00Z ahead of the
    cold front. Deep-layer shear will increase as the upper trough
    swings east, with very weak instability developing.

    Forecast soundings indicate poor low-level lapse rates/heating, with substantial midlevel drying. In addition, a prominent subsidence
    inversion is present in several model depictions. Given a lack of
    appreciable low-level flow fields to support wind gusts, strong
    storms are not expected.

    ...Florida...
    Area of thunderstorms are forecast over the eastern Gulf of Mexico
    early on Wednesday, with a plume of instability ahead of a cold
    front. While some of this activity will move across the Peninsula,
    it appears the boundary layer will be relatively cool. As such,
    despite the moderate low-level SRH during the morning along the
    western coasts, most of it should be rendered in-effective.

    ...Ohio and Vicinity...
    A very strong vorticity maximum will travel east across IN, OH, the
    upper OH Valley and into western PA and Lake Erie on Wednesday.
    Large-scale ascent will be strong, with rapidly cooling temperatures
    aloft. Shallow convection may develop with limited heating along the
    cold front, which will itself result in gusty winds with 30 kt
    ambient flow just off the surface. While severe storms are unlikely,
    a flash or two cannot be ruled out given such cool temperatures
    aloft.

    ...Coastal Pacific Northwest...
    Strong cooling aloft on the north size of a midlevel temperature
    gradient will exist over northwest OR into western WA with a slowly
    weakening midlevel jet. Weak low-level CAPE will develop mainly over
    the water. However, some cams show low-topped storms possibly moving
    ashore, and wind shear will be strong. While locally strong gusts
    cannot be ruled out, the severe risk appears low at this time.

    A few thunderstorms are possible along the Pacific Northwest Coast
    on Friday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A large, deep upper low will exist over the northeast Friday
    morning, and will gradually weaken as it drifts east through the
    period. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will slowly shift east from the
    Rockies into the Plains, while yet another trough pushes across the
    Pacific Northwest region late.

    Substantial northwest surface winds will maintain relatively stable
    conditions from the Plains to the East Coast, with no instability
    forecast over much of the CONUS.

    The exception will be again along the coastal counties of WA and OR,
    as strong cooling aloft occurs. Scattered low-topped convection will
    be most likely over the ocean overnight. A few thunderstorms may
    move onshore, but at this time the stronger shear farther north does
    not appear to overlap with the minimal instability required for a
    severe threat.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Saturday, a large upper trough will move out of the northeastern
    states, with a weak upper ridge moving across the Plains and toward
    the MS Valley. To the west, a large upper trough will continue
    eastward across the Great Basin and much of the central and northern
    Rockies. A lead wave will likely pivot northeastward toward the
    Dakotas late.

    At the surface, a large area of high pressure will exist from the
    southern Plains into the Southeast, maintaining stable conditions.
    Low pressure will exist ahead of a cold front from the eastern Great
    Basin into the northern High Plains by late in the day.

    A low chance of a few lightning flashes may exist along the coastal
    Pacific Northwest where cold temperatures aloft may result in weak
    buoyancy. Otherwise, minimal activity will be possible over parts of
    central ID and vicinity as lapse rates steepen.

    Thunderstorms are not expected across the USA Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Sunday, an upper trough will depart the northeastern states as an
    elongated mid/upper level speed max extends across the Four Corners
    states and into the Plains. This feature will phase with an upper
    low/trough extending from southern SK/MB into the northern Plains,
    with ridging over the East.

    A low pressure trough will exist ahead of the cold front from the
    upper MS Valley into the southern High Plains around 00Z, extending
    from Lower MI into northern TX by 12Z Monday.

    Ahead of this front, southerly winds will result in a batch of low
    60s F dewpoints from eastern TX toward AR, but the air mass should
    remain capped with little of any convection along the intersecting
    cold front.

    Elsewhere, cool air aloft will remain over much of the northwestern
    states, with little if any instability to support thunderstorms.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated thunderstorms are possible late Monday into Monday night
    from the Sabine Valley into parts of the Mid-South.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A strong shortwave trough will take on a negative tilt as it sweeps
    across the upper MS Valley on Monday, and across the upper Great
    Lakes overnight. Behind this system, a broad fetch of strong flow
    aloft will extend westward across the Plains and to another wave
    moving across the Pacific NW and toward the western Great Basin.

    In association with the leading wave, a surface low will be located
    over Lower MI during the day, with a cold front extending
    southwestward across the OH, Lower MS, and Sabine Valleys at 00Z.
    This front will progress to a southern Appalachians to northwest
    Gulf of Mexico line by 12Z Tuesday.

    Ahead of this front, weak instability will develop as 60s F
    dewpoints spread northeastward across LA, MS, and nosing into AL and
    western TN. Much of the instability will be elevated in nature,
    especially on the northern end of the moist plume. Even farther
    southwest into LA, MLCAPE should only reach about 500 J/kg.

    Forecast soundings are not particularly favorable for even general thunderstorms with a capping inversion noted. Still, deepening lift
    along the front and non-zero instability may result in isolated weak thunderstorms along the front.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorm potential appears low on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Thunderstorm chances will be minimal across the CONUS on Tuesday, as
    a negative-tilt shortwave trough moves into Quebec, and a cold front
    progresses across the remainder of the Southeast.

    Showers may linger along the front from the southern Appalachians to
    the Mid Atlantic Tuesday morning, and a lighting flash or two cannot
    be ruled out over the southern AL to GA portion of the front.
    However, any convection should be short lived.

    Behind this initial system, the flow regime will become zonal into
    Wed morning, though a new trough may start to amplify across the
    Four Corners states. At that time, instability sufficient for
    thunderstorms appears unlikely.

    A broad large-scale trough will persist across the eastern half of

    reinforced from the northern Plains into the Southeast. Accompanying
    the large-scale trough, cold midlevel temperatures above the
    relatively warmer Great Lakes will contribute to steep lapse rates
    and weak instability. An isolated lightning flash cannot be ruled
    out within the stronger lake-effect snow bands downwind of Lake
    Ontario and possibly over Lake Huron, though coverage appears too
    limited for General Thunderstorm highlights.

    Farther south, ample boundary-layer moisture in the vicinity of a
    weak frontal-wave low off the Lower TX Coast will support isolated thunderstorms during the overnight hours, though most of this
    activity should remain offshore.

    Thunderstorms are possible from southeast Texas into the Lower
    Mississippi Valley and Mid-South on Sunday. The probability for
    severe thunderstorms is very low.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Upper low expected to be over the TX Panhandle early Sunday is
    forecast to devolve into an open wave as it progresses northeastward
    across OK and the Ozarks into the Mid MS Valley. Enhanced mid-level southwesterly flow will accompany this system, spreading from the
    southern Plains across the Mid/Lower MS Valley, TN Valley, and
    Southeast as the wave moves northeastward. Strengthening low-level
    jet is anticipated ahead of this system as well. This jet will
    likely be located over east TX late Sunday afternoon before evolving
    quickly northeastward and ending the period from central AL into
    eastern KY.

    Progression of this system will displace it north of the more
    favorable low-level moisture, which will be confined to the upper TX
    Coast early Sunday before advecting northeastward into more of the
    Lower MS Valley/Mid-South throughout the day. Warm-air advection
    across this moistening warm sector and modest buoyancy may result in
    elevated thunderstorms embedded within the larger precipitation
    shield. Deep-layer vertical shear will be strong and there is a very
    low probability that a storm or two could become strong enough to
    produce small hail, particularly across northern LA and southern AR.
    However, the limited buoyancy should keep the overall severe
    potential low.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible from the Lower Mississippi Valley into
    much of the Southeast States on Monday. The probability for severe thunderstorms is low.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    The upper pattern is forecast to undergo significant amplification
    on Monday, resulting in a deep upper trough that is expected to
    extend across much of the CONUS by Tuesday morning. The initial
    evolution of this upper trough will begin as a shortwave trough
    moves through the Great Basin into the Southwest while another moves
    from the Upper Midwest across the Upper Great Lakes and Ontario.

    A surface low attendant to the Upper Midwest/Upper Great Lakes
    shortwave trough will move eastward just ahead of its parent
    shortwave. As it does, an associated cold front will push
    southeastward through the Mid MS and the Lower OH Valleys, and the
    southern Plains. A secondary low is forecast to develop along the
    front across north TX, before then moving eastward and ending the
    period over northern LA/west-central MS.

    This overall evolution will encourage the development of a broad
    warm sector across the Lower MS Valley and Southeast, with dewpoints
    likely reaching the mid 60s before the front moves through. A broad
    area of precipitation is anticipated within this warm sector
    throughout the day, but buoyancy will be minimized by poor lapse
    rates and relatively warm profiles. Initially strong low-level flow
    will weaken throughout the day before then increasing again Monday
    night ahead of the front. This will lengthen low-level hodographs,
    with low-level shear high enough to support severe potential.
    Localized severe potential may exist near the surface low as it
    moves across the ArkLaMiss vicinity late Monday night. However,
    minimal buoyancy will remain in place, with surface stability
    potentially persisting as well. These factors suggest the overall
    severe threat will remain low, precluding the need for any
    probabilities.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH AL...SOUTHWEST GA...AND THE ADJACENT FL PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of
    central and south Alabama, southwest Georgia, and the adjacent
    Florida Panhandle on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    Deep upper troughing is forecast to extend from central CA into the Southwest/northern Mexico Tuesday. This troughing will be anchored
    by a shortwave trough expected to move from the southern
    High Plains eastward across the southern Plains and Lower MS Valley. Progression of this shortwave will foster a more neutral tilt to the
    parent upper troughing while also significantly strengthening the
    mid-level flow through its eastern periphery. A belt of 100-120 kt
    500 mb flow will likely extend from AL into the central Appalachians
    early Wednesday morning.

    A surface low initially near the ArkLaMiss region is expected to
    move quickly northeast toward the upper Ohio Valley, with some
    guidance showing secondary cyclogenesis later in the period along
    the trailing cold front that will move across the Southeast.

    ...Southeast...
    A moderately moist warm sector will precede the front forecast to
    move across the region, with dewpoints increasing into the mid 60s
    by the afternoon across central AL/GA and the FL Panhandle. Modest
    secondary cyclogenesis appears possible along the front as it moves
    through central AL and intersects slightly greater returning
    low-level moisture. Buoyancy will remain modest, mitigated by poor
    lapse rates and relatively warm profiles, but vertical shear will be
    strong (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear greater than 50 kt) and supportive of organization with any deeper, more persistent updrafts. These deeper
    updrafts appear most probable within the warm sector near the
    developing secondary surface low (i.e. central/southern AL into
    southwest GA and the adjacent FL Panhandle) during the late
    afternoon. Any sustained cells/clusters within this environment
    could pose a threat of isolated damaging gusts and possibly a
    tornado. A gradually narrowing warm sector will likely limit the
    northern and eastern extent of the severe threat, though a strong
    storm or two cannot be ruled out from north AL/GA into
    middle/eastern TN.

    ...GA/north FL in the Carolinas and Outer Banks late Tuesday night
    into early Wednesday morning...
    A strong south-southwesterly low-level jet is expected to develop
    from Georgia through the eastern Carolinas late Tuesday night into
    Wednesday morning, in response to the intensifying shortwave trough
    moving into the Southeast. Warm-air advection associated with this
    jet coupled with strengthening large-scale ascent is expected to
    result in increasingly broad area of precipitation across the
    region. Surface-based storms appears unlikely within this
    environment, but robust wind fields could still support a strong
    gust or two.

    Greater low-level moisture may advect into the NC Outer Banks
    vicinity early Wednesday morning, with low-level and deep-layer
    shear increasing across the region as well. Any surface-based storms
    could have some severe potential. However, guidance differs on how
    far the mid 60s dewpoints penetrate inland, which, given the warm
    mid-level temperatures, currently limits the predictability of
    surface-based storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN NC
    INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to isolated severe thunderstorms are possible along and ahead
    of a cold front from eastern North Carolina into southern New
    England on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A deep upper trough is expected to extend from central Canada
    southward along the length of the MS Valley into the western Gulf
    early Wednesday morning. A shortwave trough embedded within the base
    of this larger troughing is forecast to move quickly northeastward
    from the Lower MS Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. In response, the
    parent upper troughing will shift eastward while also deamplifying.
    Strong mid/upper flow is anticipated throughout the eastern
    periphery of this troughing, with a 100-110 kt 500 mb jet shifting northeastward from the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic throughout
    the day.

    An associated surface low will deepen as it moves northeastward from
    northern VA through the Hudson Valley into NH/VT. An attendant cold
    front is forecast to sharpens as it moves quickly eastward, moving
    off the East Coast by Wednesday evening.

    ...Eastern North Carolina to southern New England...
    Low to mid 60s dewpoints are expected to advect northward into the
    Carolinas and northern Mid-Atlantic States ahead of the approaching
    cold front, with mid to upper 50s possible farther north into
    southern New England. These dewpoints will support modest buoyancy,
    with the overall buoyancy tempered by poor mid-level lapse rates and
    widespread precipitation. Even so, a strongly forced convective line
    is still expected to develop along the front as it moves quickly
    eastward across the region during the afternoon. Deeper convection
    is anticipated in this line when increasing large-scale ascent
    aligns with the low-level forcing along the front. Guidance differs
    on when and where this occurs, with some guidance suggesting it
    occurs primarily offshore. Even so, there is still enough potential
    for this occur onshore to maintain probabilities for strong gusts.
    Expectation is for this deeper convection to combine with the robust
    kinematic fields to provide a large reservoir of high-momentum air
    capable of mixing down to the surface. Given the strength of the
    forcing, this potential exists as far north across southern New
    England where buoyancy is expected to be very low.

    Additionally, some potential exists for surface-based storms within
    the warm sector ahead of the front, provided that antecedent
    precipitation does not entirely stabilize the low levels. Some
    guidance suggests a pre-frontal band of surface-based storms
    develops with low-level confluence within the warm sector over
    coastal NC and the Outer Banks.

    ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    In the wake of a strong shortwave trough moving into the Canadian
    Maritimes, a mid/upper cyclone is forecast to progress from the
    Ontario/Quebec border vicinity eastward through Quebec on Thursday.
    Strong mid-level flow throughout the base of this cyclone is
    expected to extend from the northern/central Plains through the
    Northeast. Even with these strong dynamics, extensive surface
    ridging is expected from the northern Plains into much of the
    eastern CONUS, promoting dry and stable conditions. Consequently, no thunderstorms are anticipated.

    Farther west, a low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to
    progress across the Great Basin into the Four Corners region while
    enhanced mid-level westerly flow associated with it spreads from
    southern CA across the Southwest. Some modified moisture return is
    anticipated across south TX late Thursday night/early Friday
    morning, but this will remain well downstream of the shortwave
    trough. As such, the lack of moisture/buoyancy ahead of this
    shortwave will preclude thunderstorm development.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to begin the period over the Four
    Corners before continuing eastward across the central Rockies and
    ending the period as a closed cyclone over the central Plains. An
    associated surface low is expected to move quickly northeastward
    just ahead of this shortwave, progressing from the northeast
    NM/southeast CO vicinity into eastern KS. As it does, an attendant
    cold front will push eastward across the southern High Plains and
    western KS.

    Modified moisture return is anticipated within the strong low to
    mid-level flow preceding this shortwave and its attendant cold
    front. Low 60s dewpoints will likely reach north Texas by
    early Saturday morning but the mid 60s dewpoints are expected to
    remain confined to the TX Coastal Plain. A strengthening low-level
    jet and associated warm-air advection over the pre-frontal warm
    sector (from southeast TX into the Lower MO Valley) is forecast to
    result in elevated thunderstorms from Friday evening through
    Saturday morning. Poor lapse rates will limit buoyancy, with the
    expectation that most updrafts will be weak and transient. Strong
    vertical shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear around 50 kt) may support
    small hail within the deepest, most persistent updrafts.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Central/South-Central States...

    An upper cyclone and attendant trough will lift east/northeast from
    the central/southern Plains toward the Great Lakes on Saturday. Only
    a weak reflection of this upper system is expected at the surface,
    where a low over eastern KS during the morning hours will generally
    weaken as it lifts northeast into the Upper Midwest. Southerly
    low-level flow will transport 60s F surface dewpoints into the TX
    coast and east TX and the Sabine Valley vicinity through evening.
    Isolated thunderstorms will be possible in this low-level warm
    advection regime ahead of the upper trough and weakening surface low
    from east TX/LA into the Lower and Mid-MS Valley. A strong storm or
    two may be possible across southeast TX into LA where deeper
    boundary-layer moisture and modest surface-based destabilization
    will overlap with weak vertical shear. However, large-scale ascent
    will remain weak as large-scale ascent remains displaced to the
    north. Additionally, low and midlevel lapse rates will remain poor.
    Overall severe potential is expected to remain negligible, and
    thunderstorm activity across the region should diminish during the
    evening hours.

    ...Pacific Coast States...

    Persistent onshore flow is forecast through the evening hours as an
    upper trough located offshore the Pacific coast Saturday morning
    moves inland toward the Rockies by Sunday morning. Isolated
    thunderstorms are expected, especially during the 12-18z time frame
    when large-scale ascent will be maximized amid steepening midlevel
    lapse rates. A strong southwesterly low-level jet will overspread
    portions of central CA during the morning to midday time period,
    resulting in some hodograph curvature. However, cool surface
    temperatures and very modest instability (generally less than 200
    J/kg MLCAPE) will likely limit surface-based convection.

    Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Monday.

    ...TX/OK/MO to the Lower MS Valley...

    An upper trough over the northern/central Plains and Upper Midwest
    Monday morning will weaken as it shifts east/northeast across the
    Great Lakes. The strongest deep-layer southwesterly flow associated
    with this system will mainly be focused over the Mid/Lower MO and
    Mid-MS Valleys into the Great Lakes. Though, modest vertical shear
    will extend as far south as eastern OK and the Ozarks into the
    ArkLaTex vicinity. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
    extend from southeast MO into southeast OK and northwest Texas
    Monday morning. This front will track east/southeast through the
    period, becoming positioned from the TN Valley toward the ArkLaTex
    and central TX by Tuesday morning.

    Ahead of the front, upper 50s to mid 60s dewpoints will be
    maintained by south/southwesterly low-level flow from central TX
    toward the MO Bootheel and the Lower MS Valley. Scattered elevated thunderstorms are likely to be ongoing from eastern OK into southern
    MO and parts of AR. Additional convection will develop near the southeast-advancing cold front as far northeast as the Lower OH
    Valley and southeast into central TX and the ArkLaTex/Lower MS
    Valley through the period.

    Stronger large-scale ascent and vertical shear will remain focused
    north, and out of phase with, the area of better low-level moisture
    across the south-central states. A couple of stronger storms may
    produce small hail early in the period from eastern OK toward the MO
    Bootheel. However, low-level inhibition and poor low-level lapse
    rates are expected to limit surface-based instability. Deep-layer
    flow parallel to the surface boundary, limited surface-based
    instability, and weakening shear/ascent with southward extent,
    should limit overall severe potential on Monday.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are expected from the southern Plains to the Lower
    Ohio and Tennessee Valley vicinities and across Florida on Tuesday. Severe-thunderstorm chances are low at this time.

    ...Eastern OK/ArkLaTex/Ozarks Vicinity...

    An upper trough will deepen as it moves across the Plains to the MS
    Valley vicinity on Tuesday. A 500 mb jet max around 50-70 kt will
    become oriented from eastern OK into the Ohio Valley/lower Great
    Lakes area after 06z, and stronger height falls are not expected to
    overspread the region until the nighttime hours. At the surface, 50s
    to low/mid 60s F dewpoints are expected across south/east TX into
    the Mid-South vicinity. A strong cold front will track southeast
    across KS/OK during the evening, and by 06z be positioned from
    northern AR into southeast OK and north-central TX. This boundary
    will become a focus for increasing isentropic ascent and isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms during the overnight/early Wednesday period.

    Neutral height tendencies will likely suppress convection during the
    day across much of the area. As convection develops along the
    advancing cold front overnight, uncertainty remains regarding any
    surface-based instability overlapping with stronger vertical shear
    (which decreases rapidly with southward extent). Forecast soundings
    vary across forecast guidance, but at least weak elevated
    instability is expected driven by cooling aloft. Stronger elevated
    cores could produce small hail, given forecast lapse rates around
    6.8-7 C/km amid 30+ kt effective shear magnitudes (especially from
    southeast OK into AR). Overall, severe potential appears quite
    conditional for the last 3-6 hours of the forecast period. Will hold
    off on including low-end hail probabilities, though a Marginal
    (level 1 of 5) risk may be needed in later outlooks depending on
    forecast trends.

    ...FL Peninsula...

    Isolated thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday as a moist airmass
    and at least weak instability overspread the region. Onshore,
    easterly low-level flow will provide convergence along an inverted
    surface trough. Given sufficient destabilization, this will support
    development of thunderstorms moving onshore through evening. Weak
    0-6 km bulk shear (less than 20 kt) will preclude organized
    convection, and severe storms are not expected.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are possible from the lower Ohio Valley southwest into northeast/central Texas early on Wednesday and across the Southeast,
    Carolinas, and Florida Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    ...Synopsis...

    A positively tilted upper trough will develop east across the
    eastern U.S. on Wednesday. Moderate mid/upper level southwesterly
    flow ahead of the trough will overspread the OH/TN Valleys into the
    Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic regions. At the surface, a cold front
    will extend from southern OH to southeast AR to central TX at the
    beginning of the period. This front will develop southeast across
    the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, mostly moving offshore from the Gulf
    and Atlantic coasts by Thursday morning.

    ...Northeast TX to the TN Valley...

    Showers and elevated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing near the
    surface cold front Wednesday morning. Forecast soundings show poor
    low-level lapse rates and little surface-based instability. However,
    up to 500 J/kg MUCAPE will be present, courtesy of cool midlevel
    temperatures and modest midlevel lapse rates. Deep-layer flow is
    forecast to remain mostly unidirectional and parallel to the front,
    suggesting convective undercutting by the boundary/outflows. While
    some briefly organized structure may persist the first hour or two
    of the forecast period, convection is expected to rapidly decrease
    in intensity with southeast extent across the TN Valley/Gulf Coast
    states. This is largely due to more modest boundary-layer moisture
    and weakening vertical shear across MS/AL.

    ...FL/GA/Carolinas...

    Isentropic ascent ahead of the approaching upper trough/surface
    front will increase across the region through day. However,
    large-scale ascent will remain weak until late, with the vorticity
    maxima trailing well behind the surface front. Nevertheless, showers
    and isolated thunderstorms will be possible within the low-level
    warm-advection regime, especially during the afternoon/early
    evening. Forecast guidance varies in the depiction of the low-level thermodynamics and degree of destabilization. Though some support
    for an organized storm or two is plausible, given around 750-1000
    J/kg MLCAPE and effective shear magnitudes around 20-30 kt. While a
    strong storm could produce gusty winds or even small hail (given
    somewhat elongated/straight hodographs and cool midlevel temps),
    forecast confidence regarding severe potential remains fairly low.
    Will refrain from introducing low-end/Marginal (level 1 of 5) risk probabilities at this time, though an outlook area may be required
    in subsequent outlooks.

    across the Peninsula. Low-level flow will be veered/northerly ahead
    of the front, resulting in little low-level convergence.
    Additionally, stronger large-scale ascent will remain well north of
    the Peninsula. While weak destabilization is forecast (500-1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE), mainly over the southern Peninsula, poor lapse rates and
    warm midlevel temperatures will preclude severe thunderstorm
    potential. Most CAMs and calibrated thunder guidance also indicate
    little thunderstorm activity. Will maintain 10 percent general
    thunder probabilities for the southeast FL coast, but even that may
    be generous.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Discussion...
    The large-scale pattern will be progressive on Saturday, with a
    shortwave trough and related frontal band moving inland across the
    Pacific Northwest and northern California. Steepening mid-level
    lapse rates and weak buoyancy could yield isolated thunderstorms
    mainly for coastal areas of Oregon and northern California during
    the morning, and possibly into the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms
    are not expected given the minimal buoyancy but gusty winds could
    occur with a storm or two along the immediate coast.

    Elsewhere, prevalent surface high pressure east of the Rockies and
    stable conditions will preclude thunderstorms.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Discussion...
    A shortwave trough is expected to amplify from the central Rockies
    to the south-central High Plains on Monday. Weak surface wave
    development is expected across Texas into southern Oklahoma, with a
    modest increase in low-level moisture across central/east Texas into
    southern Oklahoma in advance of a cold front moving southeastward
    across the southern High Plains. Increasing forcing for ascent and
    elevated moisture transport should lead to increasing elevated
    convection Monday night across north/northeast Texas into southeast
    Oklahoma and the ArkLaTex. While a mid-level capping inversion may
    tend to persist, updrafts should increasingly reach a sufficient depth/temperature late Monday night into early Tuesday for at least
    isolated thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are not currently
    expected given access to only weak elevated buoyancy.

    Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible late Monday night
    across the coastal Pacific Northwest and northern California as weak
    buoyancy develops with an upper trough approaching the coast and an inland-moving frontal band.
