    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    No severe thunderstorms are expected on Friday.

    Minimal thunderstorms will occur across the CONUS on Friday, with
    high pressure over much of the Plains and East. The exception will
    be from the Ozarks into the OH Valley where a narrow plume of low
    60s F dewpoints will exist ahead of a weakening cold front. Here,
    some weak instability may develop during the afternoon with weak
    lift possibly aiding isolated thunderstorm activity. Some
    convergence along the front and neutral height tendencies aloft may
    support some thunderstorms early in the day before frontal
    convergence weakens and heights increase later in the day and the
    thunderstorm threat likely wanes.

    ...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.

    LOWER MS VALLEYS AND CENTRAL/SOUTHERN WI...

    ...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.

    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
    Midwest at 12Z Sunday will progress east, reaching the Ottawa Valley
    by early morning Monday. A surface front, trailing southwestward,
    will sink slowly southeast over the OH Valley to Mid-South and
    remain quasi-stationary over the Ark-La-Tex. A confined low-level
    warm/moist conveyor will support a threat for elevated thunderstorms
    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
    low-level flow regime, isolated thunderstorms will be possible
    Sunday night.

    ...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.

    A deepening cyclone initially centered near the NC Outer Banks on
    Friday morning is forecast to quickly move offshore through the day,
    as a trailing cold front moves across the Florida Peninsula and Gulf
    of Mexico. A deep mid/upper-level trough will move slowly eastward
    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.

    An upper ridge will sharpen over the Rockies on Saturday as a large

    pressure will be prominent from the Plains into the Midwest, and
    over much of the intermountain west during the day.

    In the wake of the northeastern trough, a weak front is forecast to
    extend roughly from the TN Valley into TX, with an area of 60s F
    dewpoints extending northward toward the ArkLaTex. While lift will
    be weak, heating within the moist plume will result in an uncapped
    air mass, and a few daytime thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.
    Severe weather is unlikely as shear will be weak, and midlevel lapse
    rates poor.

    Elsewhere, increasing large-scale ascent across the Pacific
    Northwest with substantial cooling aloft will occur overnight, with
    low-topped convection primarily offshore.

    forcing for ascent, will promote isolated to potentially scattered
    thunderstorm development near the shoreline of the Pacific

    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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few storms may produce hail on Thursday from far northeast Kansas
    and southeast Nebraska across northern Missouri and into much of
    Iowa.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Thursday, a progressive upper trough will move from the central
    and northern Rockies into the Plains, as upper ridging develops from
    the OH Valley into the Northeast. Surface high pressure will be in
    place over much of the East in the wake of the previous days cold
    front, providing generally stable conditions.

    Lee troughing and an associated cold front associated with the
    mid-level trough will traverse the central Plains Thursday afternoon
    and move into portions of the Midwest by the evening. Some low-level
    moisture will advect northward ahead of the cold front, but will mix
    out as it does with only minimal surface-based instability expected.
    A few storms may develop during the afternoon along this front, but
    will likely struggle to be severe due to the limited instability.
    Once the 1 to 2 km layer starts to moisten after 00Z in response to
    a strengthening low-level jet and mid-level temperatures start to
    cool, more substantial elevated instability is expected. Sufficient
    forcing due to isentropic ascent and dCVA will support some elevated
    convection during the evening and into the early overnight hours.
    Moderate instability and 30 to 35 knots of effective shear may
    support a few supercells capable of large hail.

    ...SUMMARY...
    No severe thunderstorms are forecast on Tuesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A mid-level trough will be absorbed into the broader westerlies on
    Tuesday as it traverses from the Midwest to the Upper Great Lakes.
    Some remnant convection is expected to be ongoing Tuesday morning in
    the vicinity of this trough across Missouri, but this convection
    should weaken by mid-day as it moves into drier air.

    Ridging will start to build in the western CONUS with an extended
    moderately strong jet-stream from the Oregon/California border to
    the Upper Midwest. At the surface, a strong cold front will traverse
    the northern Plains during the day. Some showers and thunderstorms
    are expected along this frontal boundary, as temperatures cool aloft
    and forcing increases ahead of an amplifying mid-level trough
    approaching the area from the southern Canadian Prairie Provinces.
    Instability will be limited, but may be sufficient for some
    lightning flashes.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    No severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong shortwave trough is forecast to extend from southern Hudson
    Bay through the Upper Great Lakes and Upper Midwest early Wednesday
    morning. This shortwave is expected to make steady eastward progress
    throughout the day, traversing across Ontario and Quebec as well as
    the Great Lakes and Northeast states. A cold front will accompany
    this system, moving just ahead of the upper trough. Current
    expectation is that this front will progress across the Northeast
    from 21Z through 03Z. Low-level moisture preceding this front across
    the Northeast will be modest (i.e. upper 40s/low 50s dewpoints),
    limiting buoyancy and likely keeping most of the convection along
    and ahead of the front shallow. A few deeper cores could result in
    isolated lightning flashes. Additionally, robust low to mid-level
    westerly flow could result in a few stronger, convectively augmented
    gusts within the deeper cores in the strongly forced convective
    line.

    Currently, minimal buoyancy and shallow nature to the convection
    along and ahead of the front is expected to limit the coverage of
    any damaging gusts. However, if greater instability and more robust
    convection can develop, some damaging wind gusts could be possible
    with this strongly forced convection. Trends within the guidance
    will be monitored closely to determine if low severe probabilities
    will be needed in later outlooks.

    Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the Red River into eastern
    Oklahoma and western Arkansas where the tail end of the cold front
    will move into an airmass with weak to moderate instability during
    the afternoon/evening. However, a relatively thin instability
    profile and weak shear should mitigate any severe weather threat.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across the southern High
    Plains Saturday into Saturday night. Large hail will be the primary
    threat, though isolated severe winds and a tornado may also occur
    with the strongest storms.

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-level trough within the lower Colorado River Valley will
    become a closed low in the Southwest and become nearly stationary
    just south of the Four Corners on Saturday. Mid-level winds
    associated with this feature are expected to weaken some as compared
    to Friday, though some intensification may occur as the trough
    becomes more progressive by early Sunday morning. At the surface,
    modest return flow of generally poor-quality low-level moisture will
    continue into the southern High Plains as a surface trough is
    maintained from eastern Colorado into eastern New Mexico. Nebulous
    ascent from the upper-level low as well as low-level warm advection
    should promote some showers/thunderstorms early in the period,
    especially in New Mexico.

    ...Central/eastern New Mexico into western Texas...
    Southeasterly return flow around the surface high in the Ohio Valley
    will maintain mid to upper 50s F dewpoints in the southern High
    Plains. Forcing from the upper low and a Pacific cold front will
    promote late-afternoon thunderstorm development from central to
    eastern New Mexico. Ongoing precipitation early in the period gives
    some uncertainty as to how much surface-based destabilization will
    occur. MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg appears possible where greater
    heating occurs with closer to 500 J/kg elsewhere. However, there
    appears a slightly more favorable zone for heating from the Davis
    Mountains into east-central New Mexico. Deep-layer shear will be
    favorable for supercells, and mid-level lapse rates will remain
    steep enough to support some threat for large hail even if some
    storms remain slightly elevated. Isolated strong to severe gusts
    could occur with the most organized supercells. Low-level shear will
    increase after 00Z, but a simultaneous increase in low-level
    stability is also expected. Even so, a narrow window exists for a
    tornado or two should a mature supercell persist into the early
    evening. Given a slightly slower eastward progression of the upper
    low in recent guidance, a small westward shift in severe
    probabilities was made.

    Some guidance shows convection developing within the Davis
    Mountains. Given the weak synoptic lift and potential for low-level
    clouds and stable conditions to the east, it is not clear if storms
    will develop or for how long they can persist eastward into
    marginally greater moisture. A conditional threat for severe hail
    would exist if a storm or two can develop and mature in the
    Trans-Pecos region.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered weak thunderstorm activity is possible across the Pacific
    Northwest into portions of the Great Basin and Rockies Wednesday
    afternoon into evening. Additional thunderstorm development is
    possible across Deep South Texas and near or south of the Florida
    Keys.

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that flow will remain generally progressive across
    the mid-latitude Pacific into western North America through this
    period, and large-scale mid-level troughing appears likely to
    continue developing inland of the Pacific coast through much of the Intermountain West, Rockies and northern Great Plains. Within this
    regime, one significant short wave impulse is forecast to progress
    inland of the British Columbia coast and across the Canadian Rockies
    by late Wednesday night, while a similar trailing impulse digs into
    the northern Pacific coast. A remnant perturbation already inland
    to the southwest of the Four Corners region is forecast to become
    absorbed within the evolving larger-scale cyclonic flow across the Wyoming/Colorado Rockies, after being forced northeastward.

    Downstream, developments remain somewhat more unclear near the
    Atlantic Seaboard, as a mid-level ridge becomes increasing prominent
    over the subtropical Atlantic. Initially amplified large-scale
    troughing along a positively tilted axis across the Atlantic
    Seaboard still appears likely to reach peak amplitude near or just
    before 12Z Wednesday, but guidance now appears to be trending a bit
    less progressive with a short wave perturbation emerging from the
    base of the troughing. It appears that this feature may contribute
    to the evolution of a modest mid-level low just offshore of the Mid
    Atlantic coast, while a trailing perturbation digs across the
    eastern Gulf Coast region. However, associated surface wave
    development is still forecast to remain along a frontal zone well
    east of the Mid Atlantic coast.

    As the evolving upper pattern supports deepening surface troughing
    to the east of the Canadian/northern U.S. Rockies, the center of
    initially expansive cold surface ridging to the east of the Rockies
    is forecast to shift from the central Great Plains/lower Missouri
    Valley to the lower Ohio/Tennessee Valleys vicinity. However, the
    ridge likely will maintain a considerable stabilizing influence
    across much of the Gulf Coast region and northwestern Gulf of
    Mexico. Inland of the lower Rio Grande Valley, low-level moistening
    is forecast to remain limited, and generally elevated to the east of
    the higher terrain of southwestern Texas into New Mexico.

    ...Florida Keys and Deep South Texas vicinities...
    While the front over the western Atlantic tends to slowly advance
    away from much of the Atlantic Seaboard, its trailing flank is
    forecast to stall near or southeast of the Florida Keys, and weaken
    across the south central Gulf of Mexico through lower Texas
    coast/Rio Grande vicinity. Seasonably high boundary-layer moisture
    content along this zone could support moderately large CAPE and
    widely scattered thunderstorm activity.

    ...Pacific Northwest into eastern Great Basin/adjacent Rockies...
    Despite limited moisture availability, mid/upper forcing for
    ascent, cooling aloft and orography may contribute to scattered weak thunderstorm activity Wednesday afternoon and evening.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Discussion...
    Models indicate that mid/upper flow will become increasingly split
    across western North America during this period, as initially
    consolidated large-scale troughing progresses inland. One notable
    embedded short wave trough is forecast to continue pivoting across
    and north/northeast of the Canadian Prairies, while a similar
    trailing perturbation digs inland of the northern Pacific coast,
    through areas near/east of the Sierra Nevada into the southern Great Basin/lower Colorado Valley by 12Z Friday.

    To the east of the Rockies, the primary and secondary surface
    cyclogenesis likely will accompany the lead impulse into the higher
    latitudes of interior Canada. The trailing cold front may surge
    east of the Canadian Prairies through much of northwestern Ontario
    by late Thursday night, while stalling northwest of the upper Great
    Lakes region through the northern Great Plains Red River Valley, the
    Black Hills vicinity, and the higher terrain of southern
    Wyoming/northern Colorado into the southern Great Basin.

    Downstream, beneath building mid-level ridging to the west of
    confluent mid-level troughing east of the Appalachians into the
    western Atlantic, the center of expansive cold surface ridging is
    forecast to be maintained over the Ohio Valley/central Appalachians
    vicinity. This ridging appears likely to maintain a considerable
    stabilizing influence as far south as the northern Gulf of Mexico
    and Gulf coast vicinity.

    ...Pacific coast into Great Plains...
    It still appears that relatively warm layers aloft, and the lack of
    sufficient low-level moisture return, will preclude an appreciable
    risk for thunderstorm activity near the lingering modestly deep
    surface troughing/cold front across the northern Great Plains into
    Front Range vicinity. However, large-scale forcing for ascent and
    cooling aloft, spreading across the Pacific Northwest into the Great
    Basin and Rockies Thursday through Thursday night, probably will
    contribute to sufficient destabilization to support scattered areas
    of weak thunderstorm activity.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT
    ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms are possible Friday night across parts of
    eastern New Mexico near the Sangre de Cristo and Sacramento
    Mountains. Some may pose a risk for small to marginally severe hail,
    locally damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado.

    ...Synopsis...
    Models continue to indicate that a vigorous short wave impulse
    splitting off the stronger mid-latitude westerlies will continue
    digging across the southern Great Basin into the Southwest during
    this period. This appears likely to be accompanied by notable lower/mid-tropospheric cyclogenesis near/southwest of the Wasatch
    into the Colorado Plateau to the southwest of the Four Corners by
    late Friday night, as low-amplitude ridging within the stronger
    westerlies begins to shift inland of the British Columbia and
    Pacific Northwest coast.

    To the east, mid-level ridging, initially building across the upper
    Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes region, likely will be maintained,
    with downstream confluent mid-level troughing and an embedded low
    only slowly continuing to progress offshore of the Mid Atlantic
    coast. Beneath this regime, models indicate that cold surface
    ridging centered near the Appalachians will maintain a stabilizing
    influence as far south and west as the northwestern Gulf Coast
    region.

    Around the western periphery of this surface ridging, modest
    moisture return of Gulf origins will gradually return northward from northeastern Mexico into surface troughing to the lee of the
    southern Rockies.

    ...Southern Rockies and adjacent Great Plains...
    It still appears that moisture return to the vicinity of weakening
    surface troughing, from the Front Range northeastward into the
    central Great Plains, may not support more than very weak
    boundary-layer destabilization with limited convective potential
    late Friday afternoon and evening. Farther south, from the western Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle area southward through the Texas/New Mexico
    border vicinity, warm layers aloft and weak boundary-destabilization
    may also tend to minimize the risk for severe storms.

    In response to modest surface pressure falls to the immediate lee of
    the Sangre de Cristo and Sacramento Mountains by early Friday
    evening, increasing low-level moisture return into the eastern
    slopes of the higher terrain is forecast to contribute to increasing boundary-layer destabilization. Coupled with steepening mid-level
    lapse rates associated with strengthening mid/upper forcing for
    ascent and cooling aloft, the environment (including CAPE increasing
    up to 500 J/kg) may become increasingly conducive to intensifying
    thunderstorm development by late Friday evening. Shear profiles
    probably will become supportive of supercell structures with
    potential to produce marginally severe hail and locally strong
    surface gusts. The 17/00Z NAM forecast soundings and hodographs
    around Las Vegas NM, in particular, appear potentially supportive of
    a tornado around 06Z Friday night.

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

    ...Synopsis...
    Latest model output indicates little change from prior runs for this
    period, with the mid-latitude westerlies forecast to remain modestly
    amplified but generally progressive Monday through Monday night.
    Within this regime, it appears that initially more prominent ridging
    over the Canadian Prairies will begin to break down. As the ridge
    axis takes on a more notable positive tilt (toward Hudson Bay), the
    axis of large-scale downstream troughing will gradually do the same
    across the eastern U.S. into the Canadian Maritimes.

    Within the cyclonic flow, a significant lead short wave impulse
    remains forecast to be accompanied by strengthening
    lower/mid-tropospheric cyclogenesis near the north Atlantic Seaboard
    into the Canadian Maritimes/St. Lawrence Valley. As a similar
    trailing perturbation digs across the international border and Upper
    Midwest, toward the lower Missouri and Ohio Valleys, cool surface
    ridging is forecast to build southward into much of the interior
    U.S. by the end of the period.

    It appears that the leading edge of the cold intrusion will advance
    through the south Atlantic and Gulf Coast states, well south of the
    mid-level cold core (shifting across the upper Great Lakes) and
    upper support for large-scale ascent, with little appreciable risk
    for thunderstorms. As flow trends cyclonic across the Gulf of
    Mexico into subtropical Atlantic, an embedded residual mid-level
    shear axis, demarcating the northern periphery of a remnant plume of
    tropical moisture, likely will gradually shift southeast of the
    southern Florida Peninsula and Keys.

    Across the West, large-scale mid-level ridging may continue to
    develop inland of the Pacific coast through the Rockies. However, a
    weakening low initially over the Great Basin may generally be
    maintained while slowly digging southeastward, to the west and
    southwest of the Four Corners region. Mid/upper forcing for ascent
    and cooling to the northeast of this feature may contribute to
    sufficient destabilization to support convection capable of
    producing lightning across the higher terrain of Utah/adjacent
    northern Arizona into eastern Colorado Monday afternoon and evening.

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

    ...Discussion...
    Latest model output is not much different from prior runs for this
    period. Large-scale mid-level troughing appears likely to continue
    to gradually amplify across the eastern U.S., as a significant
    embedded short wave perturbation digs southeast of the lower
    Missouri and Ohio Valleys. Peak amplitude may be reached along a
    positively tilted axis near the Atlantic Seaboard around or after
    12Z Wednesday.

    In association with this regime, expanding cold surface ridging is
    forecast to encompass much of the interior U.S. into northern Gulf
    of Mexico and south Atlantic seaboard, with its center shifting from
    the northern Great Plains Red River Valley through the central Great Plains/lower Missouri Valley by late Tuesday night, in the wake of
    the short wave.

    To the west, a lead short wave impulse, within larger scale
    troughing on the leading edge of a somewhat more progressive regime
    emerging from the mid-latitude Pacific, may reach the British
    Columbia coast and Pacific Northwest vicinity by late Tuesday night.
    With its approach, modest surface cyclogenesis may commence to the
    immediate lee of the Canadian and northern U.S. Rockies.

    Deep-layered moisture, characterized by high precipitable water in
    excess of 2 inches, is forecast to generally remain confined to
    portions of the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and near/south of the
    Florida Keys Tuesday through Tuesday night. While some elevated
    moisture return is possible across the northwestern Gulf coast into
    parts of the southern Great Plains, generally stable conditions are
    expected to prevail across much of the nation to the east of the
    Rockies.

    One possible exception may persist beneath the mid-level cold core
    (including 500 mb temperatures below -30C) shifting southeast of the
    upper Great Lakes region into the Ohio Valley during the day.
    Beneath this regime, boundary-layer warming may contribute to
    diurnal convective development which might become capable of
    producing occasional lightning.

    While generally stable conditions persist across much of the West,
    modest moistening, beneath a remnant pocket of relatively cool air
    aloft and large-scale ascent across the Four Corners region, might
    also support scattered weak thunderstorm activity Tuesday afternoon
    and evening.

    CORRECTED FOR TYPO IN SYNOPSIS

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

    ...Synopsis...
    Strong cyclogenesis appears underway near the Aleutians and, by
    early Saturday, models indicate that a broad, deep cyclone will
    become centered across the northeastern Pacific/Gulf of Alaska, to
    the east of the Aleutians. This is forecast to lead to amplifying
    flow across the northern mid-latitudes of North America, including
    building mid-level ridging to the east of the Canadian Rockies and
    digging downstream mid-level troughing across the eastern Canadian
    Prairies into the Upper Midwest by the end of the period.

    In lower latitudes, a modest mid-level trough likely will be forced
    inland across the Oregon/northern California coast, suppressing
    initial mid-level ridging across the Great Basin into southern
    Rockies. Downstream, in the wake of the weakening remnants of
    Milton, forecast to continue migrating east-northeastward through
    the subtropical Atlantic, a remnant weak frontal zone, initially
    near or just south of the Florida Keys, is forecast to weaken
    further. It appears that this will occur beneath generally steady
    or slowly rising mid-level heights, as a sheared mid-level
    perturbation shifts across and offshore of northern Florida.

    Seasonably moist air will generally remain confined to the south of
    the weakening frontal zone, but some low-level moistening is
    forecast along an initially quasi-stationary segment of a frontal
    zone, to the north of the lower Missouri and Ohio Valleys by early
    Saturday.

    ...Portions of the Midwest into upper Ohio Valley...
    Models suggest that weak forcing for ascent and warm mid-levels will
    suppress thunderstorm development along and south of the initially quasi-stationary frontal zone. However, downstream of the southern
    periphery of the digging mid-level troughing, weak destabilization
    rooted within lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection may contribute
    to thunderstorm development within a narrow corridor above the
    frontal zone/well to the north of the surface front, mainly Saturday
    night. Given the generally weak forecast instability and
    cloud-bearing layer shear, the potential for severe hail in stronger
    storms seems low.

    SOUTHERN OHIO...SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEASTERN TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms may develop in a corridor across West Virginia,
    and perhaps into portions of eastern Kentucky and southwestern
    Virginia, late Sunday afternoon and evening. Some may be
    accompanied by small to marginally severe hail and potentially
    damaging wind gusts.

    ...Synopsis...
    Mid/upper flow across the northern mid-latitudes of the Pacific into
    North America will remain amplified through this period, with
    further amplification of large-scale troughing forecast across the
    Upper Midwest and Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley. Models indicate
    at least of couple of vigorous short wave perturbations digging
    within this troughing, one of which may contribute to modest surface cyclogenesis along a frontal zone across the Ohio Valley into the
    Northeast by late Sunday night.

    In lower latitudes, a residual mid-level shear axis across the
    central Gulf of Mexico and Florida Peninsula will generally
    demarcate the northern periphery of higher moisture content air.
    However, a continued gradual moistening of the boundary layer ahead
    of the interior U.S. front may contribute to a corridor of modest destabilization across parts of the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys into the
    western slopes of the Appalachians by late Sunday afternoon.

    ...West Virginia into eastern Kentucky/southwest Virginia...
    There remains variability among the models concerning the evolution
    of surface cyclogenesis across the Ohio Valley into the Northeast
    Sunday through Sunday night. However, there still appears a general
    consensus that a moistening, but well-mixed, boundary layer will
    become characterized by CAPE on the order of 500-1000 J/kg by late
    Sunday afternoon, within at least a narrow pre-frontal corridor
    across Tennessee/Kentucky into West Virginia. It appears that peak destabilization will coincide with strengthening westerly deep-layer
    wind fields, including to 50+ kt in the 700-500 mb layer. Forcing
    for ascent in advance of stronger mid-level height falls, which may
    not begin overspreading the region until after dark, remains more
    unclear. However, a developing pre-frontal low-level upslope flow
    component may aid thunderstorm initiation across parts of West
    Virginia, and perhaps into eastern Kentucky and southwestern
    Virginia by early Sunday evening. If this occurs, the environment
    probably will be conducive to a few stronger storms posing a risk
    for hail and potentially damaging wind gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes will remain possible across the central and southern
    Florida Peninsula on Thursday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A cyclone is forecast to be over ME/Canadian Maritime Provinces
    early Thursday morning. Troughing associated with this cyclone will
    extend southward along the East Coast, with Tropical Cyclone Milton
    within the far southern periphery of this cyclonic flow. This
    cyclone is expected to shift northeastward into the northern
    Atlantic, with Milton ejecting quickly northeastward into the
    western Atlantic as well. Stable conditions are expected across the
    majority of the eastern CONUS in the wake of this cyclone,
    precluding thunderstorm development. The only exception is across
    the FL Peninsula in the vicinity of Milton.

    Expansive upper ridging is expected to be in place from the
    Southwest into the Upper MS Valley and far northwestern Ontario
    Thursday morning. Northern periphery of this ridging is expected to
    dampen throughout the period in response to a shortwave trough
    moving through the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Additionally, a
    low-amplitude shortwave trough embedded within the larger scale
    ridging will likely drift southward from the central Plains into OK.
    A few elevated thunderstorms are possible across
    south-central/southeast KS and central OK Thursday morning amid the
    modest low/mid-level moistening and cold mid-level temperatures
    attendant to this shortwave.

    ...FL Peninsula - Hurricane Milton...
    Current forecast from the National Hurricane Center has Milton
    maintaining hurricane strength as it moves across the central FL
    Peninsula Thursday morning. Given the expected early morning
    position, wind fields will likely have veered across the central and
    southern peninsula where the best low-level moisture, and associated
    greatest buoyancy, will be in place. Even so ample speed shear will
    support enough low-level curvature to support rotation and a
    low-probability tornado risk within any deeper, more persistent
    convection.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    A belt of enhanced westerlies is forecast to extend from the
    Canadian Prairie Province eastward across Ontario and southern
    Quebec into New England throughout the day on Friday. A shortwave
    trough embedded within these westerlies is forecast to progress
    quickly eastward across Ontario and Quebec and adjacent portions of
    the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes. An associated surface low
    will move across Ontario just ahead of this shortwave, with an
    attendant cold front pushing southeastward across the
    northern/central Plains, the Upper/Mid MS Valley, and the Upper
    Great Lakes. Scant low-level moisture is expected ahead of this low,
    limiting the thunderstorm potential along most of the front. Some
    modest buoyancy may develop across the Upper Great Lakes region
    where low to mid-level moisture is expected to increase amid cooling
    mid-level temperatures. This may result in deep enough updrafts for
    a few lightning flashes between 18Z and 00Z.

    Farther south, a low-amplitude shortwave trough is expected to drift southeastward from OK into the Lower MS Valley. Cold mid-level
    temperatures will accompany this shortwave, and lingering warm-air
    advection showers and thunderstorms may result in a few lightning
    flashes across eastern OK and northeast TX Friday morning.

    Lastly, upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints are expected to persist
    across central and southern FL throughout the period. Some showers
    are likely throughout the day amid confluent low-level northeasterly
    flow. However, warm temperatures aloft will limit storm depth
    throughout much of the period across the region. The environment
    across south FL is expected to become more conducive to deep
    convection late Friday night/early Saturday morning as mid-level
    temperature cool slightly and low-level flow trends more
    southeasterly. Consequently, a few flashes are possible across south
    FL and/or the Keys after 00Z.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
    AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA AND FLORIDA KEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few tornadoes are possible across the Florida Peninsula and
    Florida Keys as Hurricane Milton moves through on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong shortwave trough and associated cold mid-level temperatures
    are forecast to progress across Ontario, the Great Lakes, and the
    Northeast, moving through the base of a large cyclone centered over
    western Quebec throughout much of the period. Progression of this
    shortwave will induce a eastward shift to the parent cyclone, taking
    it over the St. Lawrence Valley by early Thursday. To the west of
    this cyclone, expansive upper ridging will extend from the Southwest
    into the Canadian Prairies early Wednesday. This ridging is expected
    to shift eastward into more of western Ontario and the Upper
    Midwest. A weak shortwave trough will likely move within this
    broader ridging over the Mid MO Valley.

    A flash or two is possible within some high-based convection
    near the CO/NM border as well as the TX Panhandle/western OK, but
    the overall coverage is currently expected to be less than 10% in
    these areas. Primary forecast concern for Wednesday is the evolution
    of Hurricane Milton and attendant tornado threat.

    ...FL Peninsula - Hurricane Milton...
    Hurricane Milton, which is currently centered about 35 miles
    north-northwest of Progresso, Mexico, is forecast to continue
    northeastward through the eastern Gulf of Mexico, approaching the
    west-central FL coast by Wednesday evening. This system is then
    expected to continue east-northeastward across the central FL
    Peninsula Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Low to mid-level
    flow is expected to increase across the peninsula throughout the
    day, substantially elongating hodographs. Mid 70s dewpoints will
    also result in modest buoyancy. Some added buoyancy is also possible
    via daytime heating and cloud breaks over the central and southern
    peninsula given the slower storm speed and smaller structure. While
    its difficult to know the timing and structure of any convective
    bands, potential exists for some of these bands to be favorably
    timed with peak heating. All of these factors suggest a tornado
    threat will exists within any deeper, more sustained convection.

    For additional information regarding Milton, including the latest
    track and additional hazards, please refer to the latest
    forecasts/updates from the National Hurricane Center.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible across parts of

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A shortwave trough is forecast to move across New England on Monday,
    as a cyclonic flow regime remains over much of the northeastern
    third of the nation. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to
    advance southeastward into the Carolinas, Georgia and central Gulf
    Coast. Ahead of the front, a moist airmass will be in place with
    surface dewpoints across the Florida Peninsula in the 60s and low
    70s F. As surface temperatures warm during the day, weak
    destabilization is expected. In response, isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms will be possible in some areas across the Florida
    Peninsula Monday afternoon. Instability is not expected to be strong
    enough across the Florida Peninsula for a severe threat.

    ...SUMMARY...
    An isolated tornado threat, associated with Milton, may develop
    Tuesday night into Wednesday morning across the central and southern
    Florida Peninsula.

    ...Synopsis and Discussion...
    Cyclonic flow aloft is forecast to persist from the Upper MS Valley
    off the Northeast Coast on Tuesday, as the parent mid/upper cyclone
    remains largely in place over western Quebec. Farther west,
    expansive upper ridging, initially extending from the Southwest into
    the Canadian Prairies, will gradually build northeastward. A weak
    shortwave trough is forecast to move through the western periphery
    of this ridging from central CA into the western Great Basin.

    Surface pattern across much of the central and eastern CONUS will be
    dominated by high pressure while seasonably warm conditions persist
    across much of the western CONUS. A flash or two is possible across
    the western Great Basin amid isolated high-based convection
    attendant to the weak shortwave trough progressing through the
    region.

    Stable conditions are expected across the majority of the central
    and eastern CONUS. The only exception is across FL, where a tropical
    airmass will be in place ahead of Hurricane Milton. Milton is
    forecast by the National Hurricane Center to be a Major Hurricane as
    it moves across the central Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. Strengthening
    low to mid-level winds associated with this cyclone are expected to
    spread across the FL Keys by late Tuesday night and across much of
    the west coast of the FL Peninsula by early Wednesday morning. Outer
    rainbands associated with Milton could be moving into these areas at
    the same time, resulting in a low-probability potential for a few
    tornadoes.

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

    ...Synopsis...
    Stronger flow aloft will continue to be confined to the northern
    tier of the CONUS on Friday. Two shortwave troughs will progress
    through this corridor. One will move from the upper Great Lakes into
    the Northeast while another will shift through the Northwest into
    the northern Rockies. Ridging aloft will be maintained in the
    southern two-thirds of the CONUS. A remnant surface boundary will be
    situated along the Gulf Coast. Another cold front will be draped
    from the Great Lakes into the central Plains.

    A few thunderstorms may be ongoing early Friday morning in the
    Mid-Mississippi Valley, as modest cooling aloft occurs on the
    southern flank of the passing shortwave and weak warm advection
    occurs with the low-level jet. Additional thunderstorms are possible
    with a weak northward-moving disturbance in the central/southern
    Appalachians as well as along the weak Gulf Coast boundary.
    Diurnally driven storms are likely in the Florida Peninsula. Severe thunderstorms are not expected with any of this activity.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Potential for severe storms appears low on Saturday.

    ...Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes...
    Northern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to move quickly
    eastward from the Canadian Prairies and adjacent northern High
    Plains through western Ontario and the Upper Midwest on Saturday.
    This shortwave is expected to mature as it progresses eastward, with
    the resulting closed mid-level cyclone over northwestern Ontario by
    early Sunday morning. An associated surface low will accompany this
    system, moving eastward across the central portion of Canadian
    Prairie Provinces and ending the period stacked beneath the
    mid-level low over northwestern Ontario. Cold front attendant to
    this surface low will push eastward across the northern and central
    Plains through the Upper Midwest. By 12Z Sunday, this front will
    likely extend from central Lower MI southwestward through central MO
    before then turning more westward and extending along the OK/KS
    border vicinity.

    Warm-air advection will gradually increase within the warm sector
    ahead of the front throughout the period. Low to mid-level
    moistening from this warm-air advection coupled with cooling
    mid-level temperatures will result in elevated buoyancy across the
    Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes from Saturday evening into
    Sunday morning. Isolated thunderstorms are possible within this
    region as a result. Enhanced mid-level flow associated with the
    shortwave trough will spread into the region during the evening as
    well, supporting moderate to strong deep-layer vertical shear.
    However, the cloud-bearing layer shear values will be more modest
    (i.e. around half of the bulk shear values), and the resulting
    combination of modest buoyancy and shear will likely result in
    predominantly sub-severe thunderstorms.

    ...Gulf Coast...
    Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Gulf Coast and FL
    Peninsula throughout the period as low-level easterlies persist
    within a very moist airmass. Limited buoyancy and weak shear should
    keep the severe-thunderstorm potential low.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday
    afternoon and evening across parts of the western New York and
    Pennsylvania into West Virginia.

    ...Upper Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes vicinity...
    A mid-latitude cyclone is forecast to begin the period over central
    Ontario, with enhanced mid-level flow extending throughout the base
    of this system from the Upper Midwest into the Upper Great Lakes and
    OH Valley. A pair of shortwave troughs are expected to progress
    quickly eastward/northeastward within this belt of stronger flow,
    helping to pull the cyclone eastward while also inducing a negative
    tilt to the system. By early Sunday, upper troughing will likely
    extend from the Ontario/Quebec border southeastward into the
    northern Mid-Atlantic.

    Primary surface low associated with this system will remain occluded
    over Ontario throughout the period. However, a secondary
    triple-point low will likely be over central Ontario early Sunday,
    with its associated cold front extending southwestward through the
    Mid MS Valley. This low is forecast to push eastward across eastern
    Ontario during the day, with the cold front progressing
    eastward/southeastward as well. A narrow corridor of low 60s
    dewpoints is anticipated just ahead of the cold front, which is
    expected to combine with cooling mid-level temperatures and foster
    modest buoyancy. Initial thunderstorm development along the front is anticipated across eastern OH, where a favorable combination of
    daytime heating and low-level moisture will destabilize the
    pre-frontal airmass.

    Moderate to strong mid-level flow will extend across the region as
    well, which should allow updrafts to stay ahead of the quick-moving
    cold front for at least a few hours. Cold mid-level temperatures and
    moderate deep-layer vertical shear will support a hail risk with the
    strongest updrafts, particularly with initial development. Bowing
    line segments will contribute to a threat for damaging gusts as
    well. Surface winds will likely veer ahead of the front, limiting
    the low-level curvature. Even so, forecast soundings show
    southwesterlies strengthening from 15 kt at the surface to 40 kt at
    700 mb, which does result in enough storm-relative helicity for some
    tornado potential if a discrete mode can be maintained.

    ...Gulf Coast into the Coastal GA and FL Peninsula...
    Easterly/northeasterly low-level flow will persist for another day
    across the northern Gulf of Mexico, as a broad area of low pressure
    remains in place. Showers and thunderstorms are possible within the
    moist airmass, but weak shear should keep storm severity low.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OZARKS
    INTO PARTS OF KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the Ozarks
    into parts of Kentucky and Tennessee on Monday.

    ...Ozarks to KY/TN...

    An upper shortwave trough from the Mid/Lower MO Valley to the
    southern Plains vicinity will not progress eastward very much on
    Monday. However, enhanced midlevel flow (around 40 kt at 500 mb)
    associated with this feature will overspread the Ozarks to the Lower
    OH and TN Valley vicinity. At the surface, a cold front will develop
    south and east across southern MO and AR, becoming located near the
    MS River by 12z Tuesday. Meanwhile a quasi-stationary surface
    boundary will be oriented west to east near the OH River.

    While a moist boundary layer will exist across the warm sector,
    bounded by these surface fronts, considerable uncertainty remains in
    the Day 2/Mon forecast. This uncertainty is largely driven by
    widespread cloudiness and perhaps areas of ongoing precipitation
    Monday morning, possibly resulting in stunted daytime
    heating/destabilization. Additionally, given the less progressive
    nature of the mid/upper trough, large-scale ascent may remain
    somewhat nebulous/unfocused through peak heating. Nevertheless,
    where pockets of stronger heating and destabilization occur across
    the warm sector, strong to severe storms will be possible given
    moderate vertical shear overspreading the moist boundary layer in
    the presence of a surface boundary. Isolated damaging gusts and
    sporadic hail will be the main hazards with this activity Monday
    afternoon into the evening.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday across
    portions of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the central/southern Appalachians.

    ...OH/TN Valleys toward the Central/Southern Appalachians...

    A complicated/messy scenario is unfolding for severe potential on
    Tuesday. Most 00z CAMs and deterministic guidance suggests
    potentially widespread convection may be ongoing Tuesday morning
    across the Ohio Valley vicinity. This will limit heating and
    destabilization across a broad warm sector ahead of an
    eastward-advancing surface cold front. Nevertheless, a deepening
    mid/upper trough will slowly shift east from eastern portions of the central/southern Plains toward the MS River. Strengthening
    deep-layer southwesterly flow will overspread the region, providing
    support for organized convection, with a mix clusters and line
    segments possible.

    Given uncertainty due to morning convection and subsequent airmass destabilization, as well has some disagreement in timing of the
    mid/upper trough, have introduced a rather broad Marginal risk
    (level 1 of 5). Some refinement of this area, and/or potential
    upgrades may be needed in subsequent outlooks if confidence
    sufficiently increases in a more favorable/focused corridor of
    severe potential. Where stronger heating/destabilization can occur,
    damaging gusts will be possible.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorm potential is low on Wednesday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper low within the base of the larger-scale upper trough
    extending from the Great Lakes to the Lower MS Valley will become
    cut-off from northern stream flow on Wednesday. As this occurs, the
    northern shortwave trough will progress east across the Great Lakes
    and southern Ontario. The developing upper cyclone over the
    Mid-South/Lower MS Valley will not move much through the period.
    However, moderately enhanced southerly deep-layer flow on the
    eastern flank of the cut-off low will persist over the Southeast.
    Meanwhile, latest forecast guidance and NHC forecasts show a
    strengthening tropical cyclone emerging across the eastern Gulf of
    Mexico. This system is forecast to remain well offshore from the
    southwest FL coast through 12z Thursday.

    ...Southeast...

    A stalled surface boundary/inverted trough will extend from near
    coastal MS/AL northeast across the central Appalachians. Near and
    east of this boundary, south/southeasterly low-level flow will
    maintain a very moist airmass with dewpoints from the mid 60s to low
    70s F. Potentially widespread convection may be ongoing Wednesday
    morning across portions of this area, limiting destabilization.
    Despite vertical shear that may otherwise support organized
    convection, weak instability and poor lapse rates will limit severe
    potential, though the strongest cells may produce locally gusty
    winds.

    Further south across the FL Peninsula, southeasterly low to midlevel
    flow will increase, especially after 00z, as the developing tropical
    cyclone emerges into the eastern Gulf. Forecast soundings show
    enlarged, favorably curved low-level hodographs developing late in
    the period. However, instability across the Peninsula is expected to
    remain weak through early Thursday morning. At this time, tropical
    cyclone related tornado potential appears limited through 12z
    Thursday.

    ...Upper OH Valley/Lower Great Lakes vicinity...

    A cold front will move east/southeast across the Lower Great Lakes
    during the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Ahead of this
    feature, a corridor of 60s F dewpoints will be in place. However,
    surface heating is expected to be muted by cloud cover and showers.
    As a result, instability will be weak and lapse rates will remain
    poor, precluding severe thunderstorm potential.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
    ALABAMA INTO THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE...AND ACROSS MUCH OF THE
    FLORIDA PENINSULA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and/or brief
    tornadoes are possible from southeast Alabama into the western
    Florida Panhandle, and across much of the Florida Peninsula.

    ...Synopsis...
    An amplified upper pattern, featuring a ridge extended from northern
    Mexico through the northern High Plains and a trough extended from
    Ontario into the Lower MS Valley, will cover the CONUS early
    Wednesday. Bifurcation of the upper trough is anticipated throughout
    the period, with a northern shortwave trough remaining progressive
    as it moves across eastern Ontario into southern Quebec, and a
    southern upper low stalling over the Mid-South vicinity. The
    stalling of the southern upper low will occur as subtropical ridging
    builds across the western Atlantic and a tropical cyclone enters the
    eastern Gulf of Mexico. Latest forecast guidance from NHC for this
    tropical cyclone, which was recently upgraded to Tropical Storm
    Helene, suggests the storm will reach hurricane strength during the
    day Wednesday, with additional strengthening to major hurricane
    strength by early Thursday morning.

    Farther west, a progressive shortwave trough is forecast to move
    quickly across southern British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest,
    ending the period over the northern Rockies.

    At the surface, a weak front will likely extend from a low over the
    Lake Huron vicinity southward through middle TN before arcing more southwestward to another low in southeast TX. Western portion of
    this front over TX and LA is forecast to remain progressive, pushing southeastward to the western Gulf Coast by Wednesday evening.
    Eastern portion of the front will stall, maintaining a more
    north-south orientation from northern AL through southern Lower MI.

    ...Upper OH Valley through the southern Appalachians into AL, GA,
    and FL Panhandle Wednesday morning into the evening...
    A belt of enhanced southwesterly flow aloft is forecast to extend
    through the eastern periphery of the upper low developing over the
    Mid-South from the FL Panhandle northward into the Upper OH Valley.
    Widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated within this
    warm conveyor, reaching as far north as western A. However, poor
    lapse rates and limited destabilization should mitigate the overall
    severe potential across the majority of this region.

    An area of locally higher severe potential is anticipated within a
    spatially constrained corridor from southeast AL into far southwest
    GA and the western FL Panhandle, just west of the primary axis of
    precipitation anticipated within the warm conveyor. Here, a mix of
    low 70s dewpoints, modest heating, and moderate mid-level flow could
    result in a few thunderstorms capable of damaging gusts and/or a
    brief tornado or two.

    ...Much of the FL Peninsula...
    Rainbands associated with tropical cyclone Helene are forecast to
    move across the FL Peninsula throughout the period. At the same
    time, low to mid-level flow attendant to the cyclone will increase
    as the cyclone and its expansive wind field spread northward. As a
    result, vertical shear will be strong enough to support organized
    storm structure. Primary mitigating factor is warm, poor lapse rate
    profiles that limit buoyancy. Brief tornadoes will be possible
    within any updrafts that are able to mature/persist.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    A risk for a few tornadoes and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts
    exists from the central Appalachians into the Carolinas and southern
    Virginia on Friday.

    ...Central Appalachians and Southern Mid-Atlantic...

    The expansive, enhanced low/midlevel flow field on the eastern
    periphery of the remnants of Hurricane Helene will impact the
    central Appalachians east to portions of coastal SC/NC/southern VA
    through Friday afternoon/evening. Convective bands will likely be
    ongoing Friday morning across the Pee Dee region of SC, and lift
    northward through the afternoon. As a dry slot punches quickly
    north/northeast behind this band of convection, the severe risk will
    quickly come to an end from south to north by late afternoon or
    early evening. Supercell wind profiles, with enlarged, looping
    low-level hodographs are evident in forecast soundings around the
    region. Strong 0-1 km SRH and surface dewpoints in the mid 70s F
    (resulting in favorable low-level instability) will support a
    tornado risk with cells within the northward moving convective
    bands. Furthermore, given the already strong low-level flow field,
    strong thunderstorm wind gusts also will be possible.

    ...TN/OH Valley vicinity...

    Strong winds will likely occur from the central Appalachians
    westward across the OH/TN Valley vicinity as Helene tracks
    north/northwest and becomes absorbed by the mid/upper cyclone over
    the Mid-South region. However, these gusty winds will be tied to the transitioning tropical system, and less influenced by convective
    processes, precluding severe probabilities.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    The upper-level low across the Ohio Valley will be in the process of
    weakening on Saturday. There will be a lingering mid-level jet
    across parts of Southeast into the southern Appalachians. However,
    dry air wrapping into the Southeast, along with remaining cloud
    cover and precipitation, should keep convection shallow and
    surface-based buoyancy to a minimum.

    Rich moisture will remain across much of the Florida Peninsula.
    Sufficient surface heating is expected to promote the development of
    isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon. Poor lapse rates aloft
    and the displacement of the stronger mid-level winds well to the
    north will keep severe potential low with this activity.

    A pocket of mid-level moisture in the Four Corners vicinity may
    promote some convection in the higher terrain of south-central
    Colorado into north-central New Mexico. Forecast soundings suggest
    most convection will not be deep enough for charge separation except
    perhaps on an isolated basis. Thunderstorm potential should remain
    below 10%.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...
    An upper-level low in the Tennessee/mid Ohio Valleys will make
    little progress eastward on Sunday. This low will be weakening and
    in the process of becoming and open wave during the period. Ridging
    aloft will be the main feature in the Southwest into the Midwest,
    while a strong upper-level trough will be present in the
    Northwest/northern Rockies. At the surface, the pattern will become
    more disorganized beneath the upper low as that features weakens. A
    front will remain along and just offshore of the eastern coastline.

    Thunderstorms are possible from the Florida Peninsula into the
    Carolinas and southern parts of Virginia. Some modest mid-level flow enhancement will remain in parts of the Southeast and Carolinas. A
    stronger storm or two could potentially develop in central/eastern
    North Carolina as heating appears it could support around 1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE. However, weak lapse rates/warm temperatures aloft will keep
    buoyancy generally limited and convection rather shallow. The
    expected environment continues to suggest severe thunderstorm
    potential is low. A few isolated lightning flashes may also occur in
    central Utah as a weak upper-level shortwave moves into the Great
    Basin. Coverage is expected to remain below 10%.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

    ...Synopsis...
    A weakening, positively-tilted upper trough will continue eastward
    in the central/southern Appalachians on Monday. On the southern
    flank of this trough, mid-level winds will remain modestly enhanced
    from Georgia into parts of the eastern Carolinas. Thermodynamic
    profiles across the region suggest convection should remain rather
    shallow due to warmer temperatures at mid/upper levels. This will
    particularly be the case with northern/western extent closer to the
    remnant upper level circulation. A few deeper updrafts are possible
    near the eastern coast of North Carolina. Despite adequate shear,
    weak lapse rates aloft and minimal forcing for ascent will limit
    potential for severe storms.

    Across the Florida Peninsula, a moist airmass will remain in place.
    Daytime heating and ascent along the sea breeze boundary will
    promote isolated to scattered storm development during the
    afternoon. Weak shear will limit severe potential, however.

    Though limited, mid-level moisture within the upper-level ridge will
    allow isolated thunderstorms to develop within the higher terrain in
    the Four Corners vicinity. Slightly greater coverage may be realized
    in central Colorado where PWAT values are forecast to be higher.

    ...Synopsis...
    A weakening shortwave trough will progress east over the Lower
    Mid-Atlantic States on Tuesday and offshore Tuesday night. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible over eastern North Carolina to far
    southeast Virginia during the afternoon before the trough departs.

    A strong upper-level trough will move across parts of the northern
    Great Lakes. A surface cold front associated with this trough will
    similarly move eastward, progressing into the lower Ohio Valley and
    the lower Great Lakes through the afternoon and evening. With
    surface dewpoints in the low 60s, marginal surface-based buoyancy of
    500-750 J/kg MLCAPE could develop ahead of the front. Warm 700 mb
    temperatures and weak low-level winds suggest severe storms are
    unlikely.

    Elsewhere, widely scattered to scattered storms are possible in the
    Florida Peninsula where sea breeze boundaries are likely to initiate
    storms in a moist environment. Mid-level moisture near the Mogollon
    Rim into parts of southern Arizona may promote isolated thunderstorm development during the afternoon.

    boundaries should promote widely scattered to scattered coverage.
    Weak convection could develop along the Blue Ridge, but increasing
    ridging aloft through the day should keep thunderstorm potential
    well below 10%. Additional very isolated activity could develop
    along parts of the Mogollon Rim, but coverage should remain below

    ...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.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts and perhaps a
    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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    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.

    Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the CONUS Saturday.

    ...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.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...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
    the CONUS, while an expansive continental polar air mass is
    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.

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms are likely across a large portion of Texas

    ...Synopsis...
    A southern-stream upper low is forecast to begin the period over the AZ/NM/Mexico border intersection vicinity before progressing
    northeastward through the southern High Plains throughout the
    period. Enhanced mid-level flow will accompany this low, spreading
    eastward across the southern Plains. Low-level flow across the
    southern Plains will also increase ahead of this system, resulting
    in strengthening warm-air advection throughout the day.

    Surface easterlies are expected across the Gulf of Mexico, but a
    stationary boundary along the TX Coast will prevent inland
    penetration of any notable low-level moisture. Even so, moderate
    mid-level moisture and increasing large-scale lift ahead of the
    approaching upper low will result in a large area of precipitation.
    Cooling mid-level temperatures may help support modest buoyancy,
    with isolated thunderstorms expected within the larger precipitation
    shield. The probability of any 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

    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.

    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.

    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.

    ...Florida...

    A shortwave upper trough within the area of broader eastern CONUS
    troughing will be oriented from the Carolinas to the northeast Gulf
    of Mexico Thursday morning. This system will shift east across FL
    and offshore the Atlantic coast through 00z. At the surface, a cold
    front located over north FL early in the day will develop southward
    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.

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

    ...Discussion...
    A progressive upper-level pattern will continue across the CONUS on
    Sunday. A continental polar airmass will remain across the eastern
    CONUS which will preclude thunderstorm potential for most of the
    country. A few thunderstorms are possible along the Pacific
    Northwest and northern California coasts, particularly Sunday late
    afternoon and evening as the next in a series of shortwave troughs
    approaches the coast. Severe storms are not currently expected given
    the limited buoyancy.

    ...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.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
    SOUTH-CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few locally severe storms could occur across parts of central and
    East Texas on Tuesday.

    ...Central/East Texas...
    A southern-stream shortwave trough will amplify and spread
    east-southeastward on Tuesday across the south-central Plains toward
    the Ozarks. Low-level moisture will modestly increase across the
    Texas coastal plain into south-central/east Texas during the day.
    Lower 60s F surface dewpoints will become increasingly common inland
    ahead a southeast-moving cold front that will extend from
    north-central Texas southwestward toward the Edwards Plateau Tuesday
    afternoon.

    In proximity to a surface wave and near/north of a warm front,
    scattered convection should be ongoing Tuesday morning across far north/northeast Texas and the ArkLaTex vicinity/southeast Oklahoma.
    Modest diurnal destabilization (up to 750-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) should
    occur ahead of the southeastward-moving effective cold front, mainly
    across south-central to east/southeast Texas including the I-35/I-45
    corridors. As this occurs, a diurnally related intensification of
    storms is expected near the southeast-advancing front, and possibly
    also in the nearby free warm sector during the afternoon. A few of
    these storms could be severe.

    Effective shear will not be overly strong (30-35 kt), including some
    flow weakness continuing to be noted in model soundings around 2-3
    km AGL. Even so, some organized storm modes including weak/transient
    supercells could occur with marginally severe hail and/or a few
    locally severe wind gusts, mainly during the afternoon and evening.

    ...Northern California/Pacific Northwest...
    As a prominent upper-level trough and related frontal band moves
    inland, isolated thunderstorms will be possible across northern
    California coastal areas and interior valley on Tuesday, early in
    the day with the frontal band and with post-frontal cellular
    convection during the day as low/mid-level lapse rates steepen. A
    more limited/isolated thunderstorm potential will also exist across
    other parts of the coastal Pacific Northwest.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    A few strong to locally severe thunderstorms could occur across
    parts of the central Gulf Coast into central Mississippi and
    Alabama.

    ...Synopsis...
    A progressive pattern with multiple embedded mid-level shortwave
    troughs will traverse the Southern Plains and Southeast on Friday.
    The first of these shortwave troughs, associated with the DY1 severe
    weather risk, will be located in the Mid-Mississippi Valley on
    Friday morning. A secondary mid-level trough will cross the Mid-Mississippi/Lower-Mississippi valley between 18Z and 00Z on
    Friday. Finally, another mid-level trough will start to sharpen
    across central/northern Texas toward the end of the period.

    ...Central Gulf Coast into central MS/AL...
    A broken line of thunderstorms, perhaps with some marginal wind
    damage threat, will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period
    across central MS. The mid-level shortwave trough associated with
    this convection will move quickly north and deamplify during the
    morning which will likely result in weakening convection by mid-day.
    A reservoir of instability will remain across the central Gulf Coast
    with perhaps some northward advection into central MS/AL during the
    early afternoon as the next mid-level trough approaches the region.
    The primary forcing/height falls associated with this trough will
    remain mostly north of the warm sector, but a glancing blow could
    result in isolated thunderstorms. Lapse rates will remain weak, but
    sufficient effective shear (35-40 knots) could result in a few
    stronger/more organized storms capable of large hail or some
    damaging wind gusts.

    Removed the marginal risk across central Louisiana for the threat of
    elevated thunderstorms with the northward advancing warm front late
    in the period. It appears the primary forcing associated with the
    mid-level trough and strengthening low-level jet will be after 12Z
    Saturday.
