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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

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

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

...Pacific Coast States...

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

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...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.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...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.

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.

Elsewhere, prevalent surface high pressure east of the Rockies and

...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

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC STATES...

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are possible across parts of the Southeast,
Mid-Atlantic, and upper Ohio Valley on Sunday.

...Synopsis...
A pronounced upper-level trough will intensify as it pivots
northeast across much of the eastern U.S. Sunday. An associated
surface low will deepen as it moves northeast from western portions
of KY/TN into the eastern Great Lakes region. A trailing cold front
will move east across the southeast/mid-Atlantic states, approaching
the coast during the afternoon/evening.

...Southeast/mid-Atlantic States...
One or more lines of thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at 12z
Sunday near and in advance of the cold front, aided by large-scale
ascent with the upper trough and low-level warm/moist advection.
These early-day storms will have severe potential, primarily in the
form of strong/damaging gusts. Low-level moisture, with surface dew
points in the 60s, will advect north throughout the day, reaching as
far north as the VA/NC border by afternoon. Extensive cloud cover
will tend to temper heating/destabilization, with generally weak
instability in advance of the cold front (pockets of MLCAPE between
500 and 1000 J/kg, locally higher over the northern FL peninsula).

Thunderstorms should re-intensify or re-develop during the afternoon
as the stronger large-scale ascent overspreads the moistening warm
sector, with a linear structure likely the dominant storm mode along
the cold front as it moves towards the coast by late
afternoon/evening. Very strong low- and mid-level wind fields will
aid in downward momentum transport resulting in damaging winds as
the primary severe risk. Transient QLCS circulations will also pose
a risk for a tornado or two, especially from portions of eastern GA
across the central Carolinas, where the best overlap of instability
and favorable low-level shear will exist. Isolated instances of hail
will also be possible with the most intense updrafts.

...Upper Ohio Valley...
Beneath the primary mid-level cold core near the center of the
surface low, differential temperature advection above low-mid 50s F
dewpoints should steepen low/mid-level lapse rates sufficiently for
modest diurnal destabilization resulting in a few hundred J/kg of
MUCAPE. This may be sufficient for a risk of a few damaging wind
gusts or small hail with low-topped strong storms, given 45-60 kt of
low-level flow beneath the upper trough.

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

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are possible across parts of the Southeast,
Mid-Atlantic, and upper Ohio Valley on Sunday.

...Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Vicinity...

A negative-tilt mid/upper trough will progress quickly northeast
from the MS/TN Valley to the lower Great Lakes/Mid-Atlantic on
Sunday. A strong 70-90 kt midlevel jet over the TN/OH Valley early
in the period will weaken somewhat as the system lifts northeast.
Nevertheless, abundant vertical shear will overspread the region
through the daytime and evening hours. A mixed convective mode is
expected, especially with southward extent into SC/GA and northern
FL with a QLCS and semi-discrete cells possible. With northward
extent and where stronger large-scale ascent will be focused, a
narrow band of convection will move across portions of WV/VA/NC.

Stronger instability will be focused to the south, from SC into
north FL, where 60s F dewpoints will allow for 500-1200 J/kg MLCAPE.
Weaker boundary-layer moisture and cooler temperatures with
northward extent will limit surface-based instability. Nevertheless,
fast moving linear convection will still pose a risk for sporadic
strong to severe wind gusts from NC into VA/WV. Where stronger
instability and potential for semi-discrete cells are forecast from
SC southward, a greater risk for damaging gusts, a few tornadoes and
marginally severe hail will exist.

...Ohio Valley...

A synoptically favorable setup for cold-core convection will
overspread the region during the afternoon as a surface low lifts
northeast near the IN/OH border. A narrow corridor of mid-50s F
dewpoints will nose into central OH ahead of the low and attendant
surface front. Modest steepening of midlevel lapse rates associated
with the ejecting upper trough will support minor destabilization
(generally less than 250 J/kg MUCAPE) amid modest vertical shear.
Thermodynamic profiles indicate low-topped convection is possible,
though CAMs guidance is very anemic in the depiction of this
convection given poor thermodynamics. Nevertheless, at least a
conditional risk, mainly for strong gusts, will exist during the
early to mid afternoon.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm chances appear low on Monday.

...Synopsis...
A departing upper-level trough will lift northeast early Monday as a
surface cold front moves offshore over New England. An upstream
upper-level trough will amplify as it moves into the central Plains, contributing to the development of a surface low near the KS/MO
border by afternoon. Low-level moisture will begin to return north
across the lower Mississippi Valley/Ark-La-Miss region, however
richer moisture will remain confined to near the TX/LA coast. This
will limit destabilization potential even as ascent/cooling
mid-level temperatures develop near the surface low. Thus, while an
isolated lightning strike will be possible in the presence of meager
MUCAPE (around 100-200 J/kg) across the mid-Mississippi Valley area
Monday night, overall coverage should be less than 10%.

Elsewhere across the CONUS, generally dry/stable conditions should
preclude thunderstorm potential.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the Outer Banks into
southern New England late Tuesday into early Wednesday. Severe
thunderstorms are not expected.

...Synopsis...
A compact shortwave trough is forecast to move from the OH Valley
northeastward into southern New England on Tuesday. An attendant
surface low will take a similar path throughout the day while
gradually occluding, reaching western NY by late Tuesday night/early
Wednesday morning. An associated cold front is expected to push from
the Mid MS/Lower OH Valleys eastward through the remainder of the OH
Valley, the TN Valley, and Southeast States. By Wednesday evening, a
surface low generated by secondary cyclogenesis at the triple point
will likely be over the Delmarva Peninsula vicinity, with the
associated cold front extending from this low southwestward through
the central Carolinas, southern GA, and the western FL Peninsula.
Continued eastward progress will take this front off the East Coast
and through all but south FL by early Wednesday morning.

Limited low-level moisture and attendant buoyancy is anticipated
ahead of this shortwave and its associated cold front, precluding
thunderstorm development across much of the eastern CONUS. Some
deeper convective cores are possible along and ahead of the cold
front across the middle OH Valley Wednesday morning. A few lightning
flashes are possible, but current expectation is for overall
coverage to remain less than 10 percent. A greater risk for
thunderstorms is possible from the NC Outer Banks into southern New
England from Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Here, strong
warm-air advection within the warm conveyor could result in a few
elevated storms deep enough to produce lightning.

CORRECTED FOR TYPO IN DISCUSSION

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

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A shortwave trough is forecast to rotate through the central/eastern
CONUS upper troughing on Thursday, progressing cyclonically from the
central Plains through the Mid MS Valley into the Southeast States
and southern Appalachians. Another shortwave trough is expected to
drop southeastward through the Upper Midwest early Friday morning.
Progression of these waves will help maintain upper troughing east
of the Rockies through Friday morning.

Farther west, expansive upper ridging will gradually shift eastward
throughout the day, ending the period extended from northern Mexico
into western British Columbia. A strong shortwave trough will
approach the Pacific Northwest coast, but is expected to remain
offshore throughout the period.

The surface pattern is expected to feature ridging centered over the
TN Valley, resulting in offshore flow across the majority of the
CONUS. Another surge of cold air is anticipated across the Plains,
helping to reinforce the cold and dry conditions already in place. Easterly/northeasterly surface winds are forecast across the Gulf of
Mexico, but the development of a weak surface low just off the south
TX coast should preclude any low-level moisture from advecting
inland. Consequently, any thunderstorms activity should stay over
the western Gulf. Dry and stable conditions will prevent
thunderstorm development elsewhere.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.

...Synopsis...
A pair of phased shortwave troughs are forecast to progress through
the large-scale troughing expected to be in place across the eastern
CONUS, moving off the Mid-Atlantic coast by Friday afternoon.
Mid-level flow will strengthen in the wake of these waves,
coincident with another shortwave trough dropping from the northern
Plains into the Mid MS Valley. Expansive surface ridging will cover
much of the central and eastern CONUS, with the associated dry and
stable conditions dominating the sensible weather and precluding
thunderstorm development.

Father west, ridging will continue gradually shifting eastward,
ahead of a progressive shortwave trough forecast to move into the
Pacific Northwest. By early Saturday, the upper ridging is expected
to extend across the entire High Plains and into Alberta and
Saskatchewan, with the shortwave trough extending from northwest
WA/southwest British Columbia through the western Great Basin.

Frontal band associated with the progressive shortwave will likely
move onshore early Friday. Some deeper cells are possible within
this band, but these cells will still be too shallow for lightning
production. Another period of deeper convection is possible as the
upper trough and cold mid-level temperatures approach the coast
Friday afternoon. A few low-topped thunderstorms are possible
offshore, with a low-probability flash or two possible over
immediate coastal portions of WA and OR as well.

No severe weather is expected.

...DISCUSSION...
A mid-level trough will move from the Intermountain West Saturday
morning to the southern Plains early Sunday morning. Low-level
moisture advection will take place across the southern and central
Plains, ahead of the approaching trough. In response, weak
instability is expected to develop from southern and eastern Kansas
southward into Oklahoma. Forecast soundings early Sunday morning
from southern Kansas into northern Oklahoma suggest MUCAPE could
approach 500 J/kg. The instability combined with strong large-scale
ascent should be enough for elevated thunderstorm development late
in the period. No severe threat is expected.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF LOUISIANA...MISSISSIPPI AND ARKANSAS...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will be possible Sunday afternoon and evening
from the Sabine River Valley into the lower to mid Mississippi
Valley and central Gulf Coast states. Severe wind gusts, tornadoes
and hail will be the primary threats.

...Sabine River Valley/Lower to Mid Mississippi Valleys...
A mid-level trough will move eastward through the southern Plains on
Sunday, as an associated jet streak translates eastward into the
Ozarks. At the surface, a low will move across the Ozarks as a cold
front advances eastward into the lower Mississippi Valley. A moist
airmass will be located ahead of the front, with moisture advection
taking place throughout the day. As surface temperatures warm,
scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop late Sunday morning,
with storm coverage increasing rapidly by early afternoon. The
development of a linear MCS is expected as low-level convergence
couples with strong large-scale ascent along and ahead of the front.


A severe threat is expected to develop across a broad area Sunday
afternoon. During the afternoon, NAM forecast soundings from
southern Arkansas into northern Louisiana and central Mississippi
increase MLCAPE to around 500 J/kg with 0-6 km shear reaching the 50
to 60 knot range. Stronger deep-layer shear will be likely as the
mid-level jet passes through the region during the late afternoon.
This will be favorable for severe storms, associated with the
development of a linear MCS. The wind-damage threat will be
maximized along the leading edge of the line, especially with bowing
line segments. In addition, 0-3 km storm-relative helicity is
forecast to peak in the 400 to 500 m2/s2 range ahead of the line,
suggesting a tornado threat will be likely with any rotating
elements within the line. If more discrete cells can develop ahead
of the line, then supercellular tornadoes would also be possible. At
this time, it appears that the wind-damage threat associated with
the line will be great enough to warrant upgrading to Enhanced
across parts of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.

Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe gusts will be possible
across parts of the Southeast on Monday.

...Southeast...
A mid-level trough will move eastward across the Tennessee Valley
and central Gulf Coast states on Monday, as a cold front advances
eastward into the southern Atlantic Coastal states. Thunderstorms
may be ongoing along and near the front at the start of the period
from the Florida Panhandle into south-central Georgia. This line of
convection is forecast to move eastward across the remainder of
Georgia by early afternoon. The southern end of the line is forecast
to move across northern Florida during the morning and afternoon.
Although large-scale ascent and low-level convergence should be
relatively weak, the line may re-organize somewhat as surface
heating takes place. Forecast soundings by 21Z on Monday across
northern Florida have MUCAPE near 500 J/kg and 0-6 km shear in the
60 to 65 knot range. This could be enough for marginally severe
gusts, with the stronger components of the line.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND INTO NORTHERN AND WESTERN FLORIDA...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms -- a couple of which may be strong to potentially
severe -- will be possible across parts of the Southeast on Monday.

...Synopsis...
A weakening mid-level short-wave trough is forecast to advance
quickly eastward across the central and southern Appalachians
Monday, and then off the Mid-Atlantic Coast Monday night. South of
this trough, fast westerly flow will prevail across the Gulf Coast
region.

An attendant surface low will depart the southern Appalachians and
cross the Carolinas through the day, moving offshore by early
evening. A trailing cold front will advance across Georgia and the
Carolinas through the afternoon, and then southward across the
Florida Peninsula overnight.

...Northern and western Florida into southern Georgia...
Frontal convection -- including a couple of embedded thunderstorms
-- will be ongoing from the western Carolinas southwestward to the
Florida Panhandle and adjacent northern Gulf of Mexico at the start
of the period, with steady eastward progression to occur through the
day. The strongest forcing for ascent/mass response will exist from
the Carolinas northward, where a lack of surface-based instability
is anticipated. Farther south, meager surface-based instability
(aided by the presence of low 60s dewpoints ahead of the front) and
weak convergence along the front suggests generally sub-severe
convection. However, with a wind field in place that would
otherwise support organized storms, low-probability potential for a
few briefly more-organized storms remains evident. As such, will
maintain low-probability/MRGL risk area for the first half of the
period.

Weak thunderstorm activity is possible near southeastern Louisiana
coastal areas Sunday night. Otherwise, the risk for thunderstorms
will remain negligible across much of the the nation through this
period.

...Discussion...
Downstream of amplifying mid/upper ridging offshore of the U.S.
Pacific coast, models indicate that a belt of cyclonic flow,
initially encompassing much of western into central North America,
will become increasingly split. One embedded short wave
perturbation, emerging from the Intermountain West today, is
forecast to accelerate through an increasingly confluent regime
across the Great Lakes into Northeast, in advance of a mid-level
closed low digging south-southwest of Hudson Bay into the Minnesota international border vicinity by 12Z Monday. Another one or two
digging upstream perturbations may contribute to further
amplification of mid-level troughing across California through the
Southwest, northern Mexican Plateau and Rio Grande Valley vicinity.

Downstream of this troughing, it appears that large-scale mid-level
ridging will build across much of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico
into the Southeast. As this occurs, a lower/mid-tropospheric low,
currently near or just south of the Baja Peninsula, is forecast to
become increasingly deformed and weaken while accelerating
northeastward through an increasingly confluent regime across the
western Gulf/Gulf coast vicinity through the southern Appalachians
Sunday through Sunday night.

Beneath this regime, while a seasonably cold and stable environment
now established across much of the nation will generally be
maintained, models indicate that lower/mid-tropospheric warming on
southerly return flow will develop across the northwestern Gulf of
Mexico into the Southeast. It appears that this will be accompanied
by moistening emanating from a modifying Gulf boundary-layer, and
increasing precipitation within an evolving plume of large-scale
ascent. Based on forecast soundings, this may include convection
capable of producing lightning as far north as north central Gulf
coastal areas by late Sunday evening into Sunday night.

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the Lower Mississippi and
Tennessee Valleys, and central Gulf Coast region Friday night into
early Saturday morning.

...Synopsis...

A shortwave upper trough will develop eastward from the southern
Plains to the Southeast on Friday. As this occurs, an intense
midlevel jet streak will overspread the Gulf coast states. A weak surface/trough will likely track from OK/TX to the Lower MS Valley,
with an attendant cold front tracking southeast across the region
through early Saturday.

Southerly low-level flow will allow for some modified Gulf moisture
to return northward from East TX to the central Gulf coast. Low 60s
F dewpoints are expected to remain confined near the coast, with 50s
F dewpoints reaching roughly as far north as southern AR into
central MS/AL during the evening and overnight hours. Forecast
soundings indicate the boundary-layer will remain capped, limiting
surface instability. However, steepening midlevel lapse rates will
support modest elevated instability (MLCAPE less than 500 J/kg).
Isolated elevated thunderstorm will be possible from near the Sabine
River into parts of the central Gulf coast states Friday evening
into early Saturday morning ahead of the advancing cold front. Poor thermodynamics will limit overall severe thunderstorm potential.
However, strong forcing and an increasing low-level jet ahead of the
front could be sufficient amid weak elevated instability to support
a briefly strong storm or two producing gusty winds from southeast
LA to far southern MS/AL, and the western FL Panhandle vicinity.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms may occur over parts of the Southeast on
Saturday. Severe thunderstorm potential is forecast to remain low.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A southern stream speed max will extend from TX and northern Mexico
across the central Gulf Coast on Saturday, and will eventually phase
with a developing full-latitude trough late. A cold front will push
across the southeastern states during the day, and southwest surface
winds will bring lower 60 F dewpoints inland as far north as
southern GA. Meanwhile, mid 60s F may be present along the Gulf
Coast. Just above the surface, winds around 850 mb will already be
strong and veered to nearly due westerly, which will tend to bring
drying aloft.

That said, the initial warm advection regime ahead of the cold front
may support scattered thunderstorms from early to midday across
parts of AL, GA, and northern FL. Despite the increasing low-level
moisture, the boundary layer will remain relatively cool, with less-than-optimal lapse rates. However, lift along the front as well
as the strong flow could conditionally support locally strong gusts.
At this time, uncertainty regarding air mass destabilization
precludes any low severe probabilities.

Otherwise, a very large upper trough will continue to develop across
much of the CONUS, with cyclonic flow aloft extending from coast to
coast by Sunday morning, providing cool/stable conditions.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY
ACROSS CENTRAL FL...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated wind damage and an isolated tornado will be possible during
the day across central Florida.

...Central FL during the day Sunday...
Within a large-scale trough over much of the CONUS, an embedded
mid-upper jet streak will move over the Southeast and off the
Atlantic coast, as an associated surface cold front progresses
southeastward across the FL peninsula during the day. Some increase
in low-level moisture is expected ahead of the front during the day,
with boundary-layer dewpoints in the 60s and temperatures in the
70s. However, midlevel lapse rates will be poor and buoyancy will
remain limited (MLCAPE will likely peak in the 500-750 J/kg range).
The combination of weak buoyancy and sufficiently long, relatively
straight hodographs will support low potential for organized storms
in a band along the cold front, perhaps with strong outflow gusts.

Behind this system, another upper trough will develop out of the

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL TEXAS VICINITY...

...SUMMARY...
A few strong/possibly severe storms will be possible across parts of
the southern Plains Wednesday evening/overnight.

...Synopsis...
A closed mid-level low over Arizona early Wednesday will move
eastward and then northeastward across the Southwest/southern
Rockies, with strong mid-level southwesterlies spreading into the
south-central U.S. ahead of this system.

At the surface, weak pressure falls across the southern Plains in
response to the approach of the upper system will lead to the
development of an inverted trough over central Texas through the
second half of the period. A broad zone of low-level warm advection/quasigeostrophic forcing for ascent will result in mainly
elevated convective development through the second half of the
period.

...Central Texas...
Low-level theta-e advection will increase through the day Wednesday
atop a cool surface-based airmass will result in gradual/weak
elevated destabilization. As quasigeostrophic ascent likewise
increases with time, elevated showers -- and eventually, scattered thunderstorms -- are expected, with most of the thunderstorm
activity to occur after dark.

While the greatest low-level moisture (limited to low 60s dewpoints)
will occur over eastern portions of central Texas (the Hill Country
region), truly surface-based convection appears a low-probability
occurrence. Overall, expect convection to be elevated above a
persistently stable surface layer, with any wind risk or brief
tornado potential limited to eastern portions of the risk area.
Otherwise, a few storms capable of producing marginal hail are
expected, but overall risk should remain limited by modest CAPE.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS INTO SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI...

...SUMMARY...
Strong/isolated severe storms will be possible Thursday from eastern
Texas eastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley.

...Synopsis...
A closed upper low initially forecast to lie over the southeastern
Colorado area is expected to move steadily eastward Day 2/Thursday,
crossing Kansas/Oklahoma and eventually shifting into/across the
Ozarks through 31/12Z.

At the surface, a very weak surface low expected over northeastern
Texas Thursday morning is expected to shift north-northeastward with
time, with some deepening of the low expected through latter stages
of the period as it moves into the Illinois/Indiana area.
Meanwhile, a trailing cold front will sweep across eastern Texas
early in the period, across the Lower Mississippi Valley area
through the evening, and should lie from Indiana southward across
Kentucky and Tennessee, to the mouth of the Mississippi River by the
end of the period.

...East Texas to western Mississippi...
As the surface cold front shifts eastward through the day, southerly
low-level winds within the warm sector will advect partially
modified Gulf air northward into southeastern Texas and Louisiana.
Weak lapse rates will substantially hinder destabilization, but
low-level moistening should be sufficient to allow very weak
surface-based CAPE to develop ahead of the advancing front.

Elevated showers and storms should be ongoing at the start of the
period, moving across the eastern half of Texas. As low-level
moistening allows storms to gradually become surface-based,
potential for locally damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes will
increase. Risk should become maximized through the late afternoon
and early evening hours, expanding into/across Louisiana with time.
While the meager instability should temper the overall risk,
favorably strong low-level and deep-layer shear across the region
will exist, with low-level southerly flow increasing and veering
substantially with height through the lower half of the troposphere.

The main storm mode is expected to be rotating storms embedded
within small-scale linear segments, with convection spreading
eastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley through the evening
before weakening overnight.

OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF COAST REGION...

...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong/potentially severe storms may occur over parts of
the central/eastern Gulf Coast region Friday.

...Synopsis...
An upper low moving across the central U.S. early Friday is progged
to devolve into an open wave, which will move quickly across the
eastern half of the U.S. with time. By the end of the period, this
feature will likely have reached the Atlantic Coast.

At the surface, a weak low will move across the Midwest and central Appalachians early in the period, and then should redevelop off the
New England coast after sunset. A trailing cold front will cross
the Southeast and Atlantic Coast states with time, moving offshore
overnight and trailing only across the Florida Peninsula through the
end of the period.

...Mouth of the Mississippi eastward to southwestern Georgia...
Showers -- and possibly a few thunderstorms -- should be ongoing
Friday morning, largely elevated above a weakly stable boundary
layer. Weak heating through the morning and into early afternoon
may support meager, nearly surface-based CAPE to gradually evolve.
Given favorable background shear across the warm sector, a few
stronger updrafts cannot be ruled out. Though the lack of more
substantial instability should substantially hinder potential for
severe weather, a few stronger gusts and/or a brief tornado cannot
be ruled out. The risk should peak from late morning through late
afternoon, diminishing into the evening as the front -- and
associated convective band -- advance eastward across Georgia and
the Florida Panhandle.

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential across the United States appears low on Saturday.

...Discussion...
As an upper short-wave trough moves off the East Coast early in the
period, flow aloft will trend quasi-zonal across the U.S. through
Sunday morning. Emanating from a low over the southwestern Canada
coast, several short-wave features are expected to eject eastward
across the northern U.S. within the evolving/fast westerly flow regime.

At the surface, a weak low is forecast to shift eastward across
southern Canada, as the aforementioned short-wave energy shifts
eastward. A trailing cold front associated with this low will shift southeastward across the northern Intermountain region through the
period. Elsewhere, cold frontolysis will occur over the Florida
Peninsula, as trailing portion of the cold front crossing the
western Atlantic sags southward with time.

With largely cool/stable air across most of the country, little
thunder potential is evident. A flash or two may occur across parts
of the northwestern U.S., within an area of showers across this
region. A flash or two may occur offshore from Florida, but
lightning is not expected inland. Overall, any lightning over the
U.S. should remain well below 10% coverage thresholds, and thus no
thunder areas will be included for this forecast.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Minimal thunder potential is evident across the U.S. on Monday.

...Discussion...
A zonal flow configuration aloft is forecast at the start of the Day
2 period across the U.S., but with weak amplification expected with
time, as a weak low near the southwestern Canada coast deepens and
retrogrades slowly southwestward. As this occurs, broader/weakly
cyclonic flow will gradually evolve near and off the West Coast. In
response, weak downstream ridging will occur over the central U.S.,
and troughing still further downstream, over the eastern states.

At the surface, a cold front will shift eastward across eastern
Canada and the Northeast, and southward across the Plains and
Midwest. By late in the period, the front should extend from near
the New England coast and Mid-Atlantic region west-southwestward to
the southern Plains.

While weak low-level theta-e advection is expected across the
southern U.S. south of the cold front, it should remain insufficient
to yield CAPE supportive of thunderstorm development. Meanwhile,
Arctic air expanding southward across the northern U.S. will prove
hostile to deep convection.

Late in the period, short-wave troughing moving into California will
likely support an increase in showers -- and potentially an embedded
lightning flash or two near the central Coast. Overall potential
however does not appear to warrant inclusion of a 10% thunder area
at this time.

Low-amplitude flow aloft will prevail across the U.S. Tuesday, with
a weak western ridge/central trough/eastern ridge configuration
expected to prevail. Within the broader flow field, a short-wave
trough is forecast to shift east-northeastward out of California and
the Great Basin/Four Corners states through the period.

At the surface, a baroclinic zone extending from the southern Plains
to the Carolinas/Virginia will make slow southward progress across
the southeastern states, while remaining more quasistationary over
the southern Plains.

Showers are forecast to develop north of the boundary later in the
period -- particularly across the Mid-Mississippi/Ohio/Tennessee
Valleys, as quasigeostrophic forcing for ascent increases. However,
not more than a few flashes of lightning are anticipated at this
time, prior to 05/12Z. A few flashes may also occur across portions
of the West, in tandem with the advance of the upper short-wave

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AREA...

...SUMMARY...
A couple of strong to potentially severe storms may occur across
portions of the Mid South Wednesday.

...Synopsis...
Within a background low-amplitude upper flow field, an embedded
short-wave trough is forecast to shift across the Plains and
into/across the Midwest/Ohio Valley region with time. As this
occurs, a weak surface frontal wave along the lingering west-to-east
baroclinic zone is expected to shift from the Oklahoma area during
the afternoon, across the Mid Mississippi and later the Ohio Valley
region. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Mid South
region and vicinity, in response, particularly during the latter
half of the period.

...Tennessee/Kentucky and vicinity...
Convection is forecast to gradually increase into the afternoon and
evening hours across the Mid and Lower Mississippi/Tennessee
Valleys, and eventually Ohio Valley, with a broad zone of warm advection/quasigeostrophic forcing for ascent ahead of the advancing
mid-level wave.

While weak lapse rates and only partially modified low-level air
will exist across the warm sector, shear will be favorable across
the region for updraft organization. The lack of more substantial
CAPE is expected to largely temper severe-weather potential, but a
few stronger storms are expected, mainly from mid afternoon mid
evening. Any vigorous/sustained updraft which can evolve, will be
capable of producing gusty winds -- perhaps reaching severe levels
locally. A brief tornado or two could also occur, given shear
sufficient for both low- and mid-level updraft rotation.
