    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    EASTERN NM...SOUTHEAST CO...AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE OK/TX PANHANDLES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered thunderstorms over the southern Rockies may result in some
    severe potential as they move southeast during the afternoon and
    evening. Elsewhere, scattered thunderstorms are possible from the
    Gulf Coast states to the Carolinas, and across the northern
    Plains/Upper Midwest.

    ...Synopsis...

    Broad, upper troughing will envelop much of the CONUS from the
    Rockies to the East Coast on Monday. A surface front will be
    oriented from the Mid-Atlantic coast southwestward across the Gulf
    Coast states and into central/southwest TX.

    ...Southern Rockies/High Plains...

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected across portions of
    the southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains in southeast
    CO/eastern NM and possibly as far east as western parts of the OK/TX
    Panhandles during the late afternoon and evening. A weak shortwave
    impulse is expected to move over the southern Rockies while
    southerly low-level flow results in modest northward moisture return
    within the post-frontal upslope flow regime. Southerly low-level
    flow increasing with height and becoming northwesterly above 700 mb
    will provide sufficient effective shear for some storm organization.
    High-based convection will pose a risk for strong outflow gusts,
    with some potential for a forward propagating cluster moving across
    eastern NM toward the Panhandles via cold pool/outflow interactions.
    Overall modest shear, weak instability and a lack of low-level jet
    development will limit overall severe potential, though a couple of
    severe storms will be possible.

    ...Northern Plains/Upper Midwest...

    A shortwave impulse rotating across the northern Plains/Upper
    Midwest within broader upper troughing will support isolated to
    scattered high-based showers and thunderstorms within a dry airmass.
    Some gusty winds could accompany this activity, but a dearth of
    boundary layer moisture and weak instability will preclude severe probabilities.

    ...Southeast...

    Across the Southeast, a very moist airmass will be in place ahead of
    the southward sagging surface front. Poor lapse rates will limit
    stronger destabilization, but a belt of 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE is
    possible across southern AL/GA into northern FL. Thunderstorm
    clusters could produce locally gusty winds, but organized severe
    potential will be limited by weak vertical shear, poor lapse rates,
    and little large-scale ascent.

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

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday
    afternoon and evening across parts of the Midwest into Lower Michigan.

    ...Midwest...

    A midlevel shortwave trough will migrate east across the Midwest and
    Great Lakes on Tuesday. This will support a band of enhanced
    midlevel southwesterly flow across portions of WI/IL and into
    IN/Lower MI/OH during the afternoon and evening. Cooling aloft will
    result in steep midlevel lapse rates and support MLCAPE up to 1500
    J/kg. A weak cold front will move across the region during the afternoon/evening, and a band of convection will develop ahead of
    this feature. The main limiting factor precluding higher severe
    probabilities at this time is the expectation for meager boundary
    layer moisture. Surface dewpoints will generally be in the mid/upper
    50s to near 60 F. Forecast soundings indicate sufficient deep layer
    shear for transient supercells and clusters with a risk for isolated
    hail and strong wind gusts.

    ...Northern Oklahoma vicinity...

    Some forecast guidance suggests storms may develop across parts of
    northern OK during the late afternoon/early evening as midlevel flow
    increases within a strengthening warm advection regime. However,
    given a lack of large-scale ascent or focus for thunderstorm
    initiation other than strong daytime heating for an increasing moist
    airmass, confidence in sustained thunderstorm development is low. If
    storms can develop and be maintained, a risk for strong gusts and
    isolated hail will be possible. If confidence increases, low
    unconditional severe probabilities could be needed.

    ...Eastern Montana/Western North Dakota...

    Strong storms are expected to develop within strong northwesterly
    deep layer flow over the Canadian Prairies Tuesday
    afternoon/evening. This activity will quickly develop southeast into
    MT/ND by late afternoon/evening. Strong heating amid meager
    low-level moisture will result in deep boundary layer mixing and
    weak instability. Locally gusty winds could accompany this activity.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE UPPER MIDWEST...AND FROM NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong storms may produce gusty winds and hail across the
    Upper Midwest. Additional strong thunderstorms may produce damaging
    wind gusts from north Texas/southern Oklahoma through portions of
    the Gulf Coast states and into the coastal Carolinas.

    ...Minnesota/Wisconsin...

    An upper shortwave trough will migrate across the Upper Midwest on
    Friday. This will bring a belt of enhanced northwesterly flow aloft
    across the region. In the wake of a prior frontal passage,
    boundary-layer moisture will be very modest (generally 50s F
    dewpoints), but cool temperatures aloft and midlevel lapse rates
    near 7 C/km will support weak destabilization (around 500-1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE). Forecast soundings show vertically veering wind profiles
    and elongated/straight hodographs with around 35-40 kt effective
    shear magnitudes. Isolated higher-based supercells will be possible.
    Steepened low-level lapse rates and the relatively dry
    boundary-layer will support isolated strong gusts. Isolated
    marginally severe hail also will be possible.

    ...ArkLaTex vicinity through the Gulf Coast states...

    Most forecast guidance depicts an ongoing MCS across North Texas or
    far southern OK at Friday morning. Strong gusts will be possible
    with this system through the morning given modestly enhanced
    mid/upper flow and a corridor of strong instability across the
    ArkLaTex vicinity. This MCS and/or remnant MCV may continue
    east/southeast across east TX or toward the lower MS Valley through
    the day, tracking along a southward-sagging surface boundary.

    Further east across the Gulf Coast vicinity, a very moist airmass
    will be in place, with PW values near 2 inches common. This will aid
    in moderate destabilization ahead of a west to east oriented surface
    boundary. Vertical shear will be weak, but water laden downdrafts
    could support isolated microbursts. It is unclear if convection will
    be able to organize along the surface boundary into a forward
    propagating cluster, but if this occurs, damaging wind potential
    would increase.

    ...Coastal Carolinas...

    A mid/upper shortwave trough will move across the area through
    afternoon. Some guidance depicts a small MCS or cluster associated
    with a strong low-level jet during the morning. As this feature
    spreads northeast along the coast through afternoon, strong gusts
    will be possible.

    ...Florida...

    A seasonally moist and unstable airmass will reside across
    north/central FL on Friday. Parts of the state will be on the
    southern fringes of stronger mid-level flow associated with the
    upper shortwave trough moving across the Carolinas. Some forecast
    soundings show 20-30 kt midlevel low, and this may be sufficient for
    transient organized cells along parts of the east coast. Additional
    storms will be possible across the Panhandle and northern FL as
    convection develops southward across the area ahead of a
    southward-sagging surface boundary. Ample moisture/high PW values
    and moderate instability will support occasional strong gusts with
    the strongest storms.
