    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER WESTERN
    NEBRASKA AND SOUTH DAKOTA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered storms, some possibly severe with wind and hail potential,
    are expected over parts of the Plains states on Saturday. The most
    concentrated area is forecast to be over western Nebraska and South Dakota.

    ...Northern High Plains...

    An upper low/shortwave trough will eject in negative tilt fashion
    across the northern Rockies on Saturday, with a lobe of stronger
    winds aloft across the area. Midlevel temperatures will be cool,
    with -12 or colder at 500 mb. This, combined with an influx of low
    60s F dewpoints into western SD and NE, will support moderate
    instability. Further, surface winds will be backed to southeasterly,
    as will winds at 850 mb, helping to transport moisture westward and
    enhance storm relative inflow. Storms appear likely to form during
    the late afternoon within the surface trough, with large hail and
    perhaps brief tornado potential. Then, storms will likely merge into
    a forward-propagating cluster or MCS, with damaging winds into the evening.

    ...KS/OK/TX...

    At least isolated severe activity appears possible Saturday
    afternoon, including hail and damaging wind threat, as a moist and
    unstable air mass develops. While the main upper wave will be well
    to the north, cool midlevel temperatures will remain over the
    region, which when combined with upper 60s F dewpoints and daytime
    heating, will result in 2000-3000 J/kg MUCAPE. A surface trough and
    dryline are forecast to extend from central KS into western OK and
    northwest TX, and surface convergence may be sufficient to support
    sporadic cell development by late afternoon. Forecast soundings
    indicate veering but weak shear profiles, however, slow-moving
    supercells may occur with large hail and locally severe gusts.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe wind gusts are
    expected on Tuesday across parts of the northern High Plains. Strong
    wind gusts and hail will be possible in parts of the southern and
    central High Plains, and along the eastern Gulf Coast.

    ...High Plains...

    At mid-levels, a low and an associated shortwave trough will move
    slowly eastward from the northern Rockies into the northern High
    Plains on Tuesday. Ahead of the trough, southeasterly mid-level flow
    will be in place over the top of a moist airmass in the northern
    Plains. Surface dewpoints from the mid 50s to lower 60s F will
    contribute the development of moderate instability across much of
    the moist sector by afternoon. Model forecasts focus a zone of
    maximized low-level convergence in the afternoon, ahead of a cold
    front moving through the western Dakotas. Near this convergence
    zone, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and move east-northeastward into the warm sector during the late afternoon
    and early evening.

    Ahead of the front, forecast soundings near Bismarck in the late
    afternoon have MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg with 0-6 km shear around 35
    knots. This will support a potential for supercells with large hail.
    In addition, 0-3 km lapse rates are forecast to become very steep in
    the late afternoon, which will coincide with relatively large temperature-dewpoint spreads. This will be favorable for severe wind
    gusts. The severe threat is expected to continue into the early to
    mid evening as multiple storms move eastward into the central Dakotas.

    Further south into parts of the southern and central High Plains, a
    moist and unstable airmass will be in place beneath considerably
    weaker mid-level flow. In most areas, large-scale ascent will remain
    limited. However, a few storms could develop along zones of
    maximized low-level convergence. These storms will likely have
    access to moderate instability and enough deep-layer shear for an
    isolated severe threat. A few strong wind gusts and hail will be possible.

    ...Eastern Gulf Coast...

    An upper-level trough will move south-southeastward across the
    southern U.S. on Tuesday. At the surface, a cold front is forecast
    to advance southward across southern Alabama and southern Georgia
    during the day. South of the front, moderate instability is expected
    to develop as surface temperatures warm. Steepening low-level lapse
    rates in the afternoon should support an isolated wind-damage threat
    with storms that form near and ahead of the front.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...MUCH OF SOUTH DAKOTA...AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging winds are
    possible from parts of the northern High Plains into lower
    elevations of the northern and central Plains Thursday afternoon
    into night. More isolated occurrences of large hail and damaging
    winds appear possible in parts of the upper Midwest and upper Great Lakes.

    ...Synopsis...

    A mid/upper-level low over southern Manitoba Thursday morning is
    forecast to move into Ontario ahead of a weakening short-wave trough translating from the northern Rockies into northern Plains. A
    separate disturbance is expected to progress through the central
    Plains. In the low levels, a surface low will track from southern
    Manitoba into northwest Ontario while a trailing cold front advances
    through the upper MS Valley into the upper Great Lakes. The trailing
    extension of the boundary will link with a surface low over eastern WY.

    ...Northern High Plains into the upper Great Lakes...

    The synoptic front and low-level upslope flow north of the boundary
    in the northern High Plains will be the main foci for strong to
    severe thunderstorm development Thursday afternoon into night. The
    most favorable overlap of steep lapse rates, moderate instability,
    and modestly strong vertical shear is expected to reside in those
    same areas from the northern High Plains east into the mid MO Valley.

    Aided by forcing for ascent associated with weakening short-wave
    trough, diurnally enhanced thunderstorm development is anticipated
    Thursday afternoon from portions of eastern MT into western SD, near
    and to the north of the stalled surface front. The environment
    appears supportive of supercell storm modes capable of large to very
    large hail initially, especially across western SD. Some model
    guidance suggests that the initial discrete storms may grow upscale
    into a forward-propagating MCS that would advance east across SD
    Thursday night with an associated risk for severe wind gusts.

    A potentially separate strong to severe storm regime may materialize
    Thursday afternoon and evening across portions of central and
    eastern NE into western IA in association with the lower-latitude
    disturbance moving through those areas. Vertical shear will be
    weaker than locations farther to the northwest; however, the
    presence of a moderately unstable air mass may support isolated
    occurrences of large hail and severe wind gusts.

    Isolated to widely scattered, strong to severe storms may also
    develop along the cold front across parts of the upper Great Lakes
    into upper Midwest Thursday afternoon and evening with an associated
    damaging wind and/or large hail risk.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL AND
    EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO IOWA...SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AND WESTERN WISCONSIN...

    CORRECTED FOR ERRONEOUS GEOGRAPHICAL REFERENCE

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms capable of large to very large hail,
    damaging winds, and perhaps a couple of tornadoes are expected
    Friday afternoon into night across portions of the upper Midwest
    into central Plains.

    ...Synopsis...

    The primary upper-air feature of interest Friday is a short-wave
    trough, which is forecast to amplify while progressing from the
    northern Plains into the upper MS Valley and upper Midwest. A cold
    front associated with at upper-air system is expected to stretch
    from the upper Midwest through the mid MO Valley into the central
    High Plains by mid afternoon. That boundary is expected to serve as
    the focus for strong to severe thunderstorm development from
    afternoon into Friday night.

    ...Upper Midwest into the Central Plains...

    Areas of thunderstorms may be ongoing Friday morning across parts of
    the Midwest and possibly northern Plains, with that activity
    expected to decrease in areal coverage through the morning. However,
    residual cloudiness and convective outflow may slow the
    destabilization process in areas where the storms linger the
    longest. Outside of those areas, model guidance indicates the
    development of moderate to strong instability within the pre-frontal
    warm sector by mid to late afternoon.

    Height falls/forcing for ascent associated with the migratory
    short-wave trough coupled with low-level convergence along the
    synoptic front and any remnant outflow boundaries are expected to
    contribute to an areal increase in storms during the afternoon and
    evening hours. An associated risk for at least isolated severe
    weather appears possible in parts of the northern and central Plains
    into the upper Midwest and upper Great Lakes region. Within that
    broader envelope, a potentially more concentrated zone of severe
    storms may materialize in the vicinity of the synoptic front from
    parts of western WI and southern MN into central and eastern NE.
    There, a favorable overlap of 30-40 kt of deep-layer shear and the
    moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop, supporting
    organized storm modes capable of mainly large to very large hail and
    damaging wind gusts. Some increase in low-level shear is forecast
    across the mid MO Valley Friday evening, conditionally supporting
    some tornado risk.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
    SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO...WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA...FAR WESTERN NEW YORK...NORTHEAST MONTANA...AND
    WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms capable of large hail and damaging winds are
    possible from portions of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley into the
    Northeast, and over the northern High Plains.

    ...Synopsis...

    A short-wave trough and attending belt of 40-50 kt mid-level winds
    initially over the Great Lakes will overspread the Northeast and
    Mid-Atlantic Saturday into Saturday night. Meanwhile, an intense
    upstream trough is forecast to move through the Canadian Rockies and
    Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies, with downstream height
    falls and strengthening mid/upper-level winds advancing into the
    northern High Plains. Elsewhere, a mid-level low initially centered
    along the NM-TX state line is expected to evolve into an open wave
    while lifting northeast across the central and southern Plains.

    At the surface, a cold front will push through the Great Lakes, New
    England, and OH Valley during the forecast period, while a lee
    cyclone deepens along a cold front moving through the northern High Plains.

    ...Great Lakes and OH Valley into the Northeast...

    A westerly low-level jet will advect an increasingly moist air mass
    through the Great Lakes and OH Valley into the Northeast ahead of
    the cold front on Saturday. The moisture increase will combine with
    daytime heating to support a moderately unstable environment across
    the OH Valley, with instability diminishing with northeastward
    extent into New England. Thunderstorms are expected to increase in
    coverage and intensity through the afternoon ahead of the short-wave
    trough, and amidst a kinematic environment featuring 30-40 kt of
    deep-layer shear. The most favorable overlap of stronger
    instability, vertical shear, and forcing for ascent is expected to
    materialize across the upper OH Valley Saturday afternoon, where
    supercells will be possible with a higher-probability risk for large
    hail and damaging winds. Elsewhere, isolated occurrences of large
    hail and/or damaging wind will be possible during the afternoon and
    evening hours.

    ...Northern High Plains...

    The presence of steep lapse rates and increasing boundary-layer
    moisture content are expected to contribute to a moderate to
    strongly unstable air mass by afternoon ahead of the surface low and
    cold front over eastern MT and western ND. Moisture wrapping around
    the surface low is expected to reach into the high terrain of
    central MT, supporting at least modest destabilization there.
    Initial, isolated storms are expected in the post-frontal, upslope
    environment in central MT Saturday afternoon, with storms
    potentially not developing until Saturday evening in the vicinity of
    the front in eastern MT and western ND, due to late-arriving forcing
    for ascent. Vertical shear will strengthen through the day with the
    kinematic environment favoring supercell storm modes with the
    primary hazard being large hail.

    ...Southern Plains....

    The models indicate a band of 30-35 kt mid-level winds developing
    within the southeast quadrant of the upper low from southwest TX
    into the Red River Valley Saturday afternoon. As a result, vertical
    shear will be enhanced in those areas; however, the primary
    uncertainty regarding some severe-storm threat is the effect of
    early-day storms on afternoon air mass destabilization.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
    THE NORTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms capable of large to very large hail and
    severe wind gusts are possible across the northern Plains. More
    isolated severe storms capable locally damaging wind gusts may occur
    across portions of the Mid-Atlantic.

    ...Synopsis...

    A vorticity maximum and associated jet streak within the base of
    broader-scale troughing from the lee of the Canadian Rockies into
    northern Intermountain Region Sunday morning are forecast to
    translate into the northern High Plains by Sunday night. Meanwhile,
    a short-wave trough will progress from the lower Great Lakes through
    southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic in tandem with a 40-50 kt
    wind maximum in the mid levels. At the surface, an area of low
    pressure and associated front are expected to remain
    quasi-stationary over the western Dakotas Sunday, prior to advancing
    slowly east Sunday night. Elsewhere, a cold front will move through
    the Mid-Atlantic Sunday afternoon.

    ...Northern Plains...

    A hot, pre-frontal air mass is expected to develop Sunday afternoon
    with steep lapse rates and boundary-layer dewpoints in the 50s to
    low 60s contributing to moderate instability. Wrap-around moisture
    on the backside of the surface front will support air mass
    destabilization across portions of eastern MT into northeast WY as
    well. The models suggest potentially separate severe thunderstorm
    regimes evolving across the region Sunday afternoon and evening.
    Isolated storms appear possible along favored terrain of central MT
    into northeast WY, aided by increasing height falls downstream from
    the approaching vorticity maximum and jet streak. Additional storms
    appear possible along the surface front across the western Dakotas
    as the strong boundary-layer heating erodes the capping.

    Strengthening vertical shear will support supercells capable of
    mainly large hail in post-frontal regime, and large to very large
    hail and severe wind gusts within the pre-frontal warm sector.
    Low-level shear is forecast to strengthen during the evening;
    however, relatively high LCLs are expected to limit a robust tornado
    threat. The severe-weather threat may continue into Sunday night,
    especially across western and central ND.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...

    Daytime heating and boundary-layer dewpoints in the 60s are expected
    to support moderate afternoon instability ahead of the cold front.
    Latest model guidance suggests that isolated to widely scattered
    thunderstorms will develop along the boundary, aided by forcing for
    ascent associated with the short-wave trough. Forecast soundings
    indicate largely unidirectional wind profiles with 30-40 kt of
    deep-layer shear, which would favor some cold pool organization with
    an associated risk for locally damaging wind gusts into early evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Widely scattered to scattered severe storms capable of all hazards
    appear possible Saturday afternoon and evening across portions of
    the central Plains into the lower Missouri Valley. More isolated
    severe weather appears possible across the upper Great Lakes, Ozark
    Plateau, and southern Plains.

    ...Synopsis...

    A short-wave trough initially from the upper MS Valley into northern
    Rockies is forecast to amplify while pivoting east/southeast through
    the upper Midwest and mid/lower MO Valleys. That system will be
    attended by a belt of 50-60+ kt winds in the mid-levels, which are
    expected to extend from the mid MO Valley into the Great Lakes
    Saturday afternoon into night. At the surface, a cold front
    initially from the upper Midwest to low pressure over KS Saturday
    morning, will progress through the upper Great Lakes, mid/lower MO
    Valleys, and central Plains during the forecast period.

    ...Upper Great Lakes into Central and Southern Plains...

    The potential for early-day storms across portions of the mid MO
    Valley into the Ozark Plateau increases uncertainty in the location
    of afternoon/evening storms, as well as the distribution of
    instability across the region. Latest ensemble guidance indicates
    the highest likelihood for moderate to strong instability across
    portions of the central and southern Plains with greater spread in
    instability farther north across the upper Midwest into upper Great Lakes.

    Current thinking is that diurnally enhanced thunderstorms appear
    most likely to the northeast of the KS surface low northeast along
    the adjacent segment of the front with lesser confidence in storm
    coverage with northeastward extent into the upper Great Lakes.
    Deep-layer shear is expected to be sufficiently strong for organized
    storm modes, including supercells from the central Plains into the
    upper Great Lakes with decreasing amounts of vertical shear into the
    southern Plains. Highest confidence in a more concentrated
    severe-weather episode remains centered across the central Plains
    into the lower MO Valley, where all hazards appear possible. Storms
    may eventually grow upscale into one or multiple complexes Saturday
    evening into night from the mid MS Valley through Ozark Plateau into
    the southern Plains.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
    THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the
    Mid-Atlantic on Sunday.

    ...Synopsis...

    An upper shortwave trough will pivot across the Great Lakes to the
    Northeast on Sunday. As this occurs, a belt of enhanced
    southwesterly deep-layer flow will overspread much of the
    northeastern U.S. At the surface, a cold front will be oriented from
    Ohio to the Mid-South, then westward into north/central TX by
    mid/late afternoon. A seasonally moist airmass will be in place
    ahead of the front. Pockets of moderate to strong instability will
    develop across parts of the southern Plains vicinity as the cold
    front develops southward through the period. Additional areas of
    moderate to strong destabilization are possible across the
    Mid-Atlantic vicinity.

    ...Mid-Atlantic...

    Currently, the best overlap of enhanced west/southwesterly shear and
    MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg appears to be across the Mid-Atlantic from
    eastern VA into southeast PA/southern NJ within a moist axis and
    pre-frontal surface trough. Scattered thunderstorms may develop
    within this area during peak heating and pose a risk mainly for
    damaging gusts. Stronger southwesterly flow aloft is expected with
    northward extent into PA/NY and portions of New England. However,
    degree of destabilization is uncertain due to cloud cover and
    possible remnant convection over the Ohio Valley from the Day
    2/Saturday period moving across the Upper Ohio Valley early in the
    period ahead of the surface cold front. Depending on model trends
    and mesoscale details emanating from prior day convection, severe
    probability could be adjusted northward in subsequent outlooks.

    ...Southeast NM into the ArkLaTex...

    Convection will develop near the southward-advancing surface front
    during the afternoon within a very moist and moderately unstable
    airmass. Convection may tend to be anafrontal, and storms could
    quickly become undercut by the front. Nevertheless, isolated strong
    gusts and hail will be possible with stronger storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM KENTUCKY AND
    NORTHERN TENNESSEE INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible from
    Kentucky to the Mid-Atlantic. Damaging wind gusts will be the main
    hazard with this activity.

    ...Synopsis...

    A series of embedded midlevel shortwave troughs will migrate through
    broad upper troughing and strong southwesterly deep-layer flow from
    the Great Lakes to the Northeast. At the surface, low pressure over
    southern Ontario will develop northeast along the St. Lawrence
    Valley and a trailing cold front will extend southwest from the
    Lower Great Lakes to northern OK and the TX Panhandle during the
    morning. This front will sag south/southeast through the period,
    becoming oriented from the Mid-Atlantic coast to central TX by
    Friday morning. A very moist airmass will reside south of the front, particularly from the southern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic. Moderate
    to strong destabilization will develop across parts of the Plains
    into the Ohio Valley, with more modest instability with northeast
    extent into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

    ...Ohio Valley to Mid-Atlantic and Northeast...

    Very strong west/southwesterly mid/upper flow is expected to reside
    across the Northeast on Thursday, decreasing with southwest extent
    into the Ohio Valley. Convection may be ongoing near the surface
    front and within the broad warm advection regime ahead of the
    boundary Thursday morning, especially across the Northeast. This
    will likely temper destabilization across portions of PA/NY and
    points northeastward. Nevertheless, intense deep-layer flow will
    still support strong to severe wind gusts with convection through
    early evening. Richer boundary layer moisture will be in place from
    TN/KY into the Mid-Atlantic, fostering strong destabilization.
    Clusters and line segments will pose a risk for mainly damaging gusts.

    ...OK/TX to the Mid-South...

    A belt of strong instability is forecast ahead of the southward
    sagging cold front Thursday afternoon. This area will be further
    removed from stronger mid/upper southwesterly flow. But, ample
    instability, modest effective shear, and high PWs supporting water
    laden downdrafts will result in a marginal severe risk for damaging
    winds within thunderstorm clusters/bands.

    ...Southeast...

    The remnants of a tropical disturbance is expected to migrate across
    portions of the Gulf Coast states on Thursday. A very moist and
    moderately unstable airmass will be in place. The remnant low may
    serve to locally enhance vertical shear, resulting in an
    accompanying risk for strong wind gusts and perhaps a tornado or two.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the central
    Plains vicinity from Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening.

    ...Central Plains...

    An upper ridge will initially be centered over the High Plains on
    Saturday. An upper shortwave trough over the eastern Great Basin
    will develop eastward, emerging over the central Rockies and
    adjacent High Plains by 00z, and breaking down upper ridging. As
    this occurs, mid/upper level flow will increase and a lee low will
    deepen in the vicinity of eastern CO. A surface trough/dryline will
    extend southward near the CO/KS border and along the NM/TX border.
    Increasing south/southeasterly low-level flow will transport rich
    boundary layer moisture (mid/upper 60s F dewpoints) northward across
    KS, with low to mid 60s F dewpoints possible across much of NE.
    Steep midlevel lapse rates atop the moistening boundary layer will
    result in a moderate destabilization (MLCAPE 1500-2500 J/kg) across
    the central High Plains and portions of central/eastern NE/KS.

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop within
    upslope flow along the surface trough from far southeast WY into
    eastern CO. As storms develop east/southeast with time, an
    increasing southerly low-level jet may foster upscale development
    into one or more bowing segments. Overall, supercell wind profiles
    suggest large hail and perhaps tornadoes will be possible. If storms
    grow upscale, damaging wind potential will increase during the evening.
