...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO...

...SUMMARY...
Some strong to locally severe storms may occur across eastern
Colorado and the central High Plains late this afternoon and early evening.

...Eastern Colorado/Central High Plains...
Prevalent cloud cover and some lingering mostly light precipitation
should eventually abate later this afternoon, with thunderstorms
expected to develop/increase initially over the mountains by around mid-afternoon. These storms will spread east-southeastward toward
the instability axis across the adjacent High Plains through early
evening. Moderately strong mid-level flow could support some
semi-organized storms, and a couple of clusters could evolve by
evening. Localized instances of marginally severe hail and/or wind
could occur, although locally heavy rainfall may be more of a
prevalent concern.

...Upper Midwest...
A region of moderate instability is forecast to develop from eastern
South Dakota into southern Minnesota this afternoon. But this will
be in the wake of a southeastward-moving shortwave trough, with weak
height rises and subsidence in its wake. Nonetheless, isolated storm development may occur by late afternoon/early evening, and a few
strong storms are conceivable.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND SABINE RIVER VALLEY...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of large hail and isolated severe wind gusts
will be possible mainly late this afternoon into evening across
parts of the southern and central High Plains. A few marginally
severe storms could also occur today over parts of the Sabine River Valley.

...Central/southern High Plains...
Multiple ridge-riding mid/upper-level disturbances will transition
generally east/eventually southeastward from the central Rockies and
northern High Plains today. Weak lee-side low development will occur
across southeast Colorado and also perhaps farther north across the
central High Plains, with modestly sharpening low-level convergence
in vicinity of the lee trough. This will lead to a gradual
enhancement of low-level upslope flow particularly across east-central/southeast Colorado and northeast New Mexico.

Storms should develop/increase by mid-afternoon and gradually move
eastward off the Colorado mountains/Raton Mesa vicinity, with other
development occurring near the surface boundary extending
north-northeastward into west-central Nebraska/southern South
Dakota. Surface dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s F will contribute
to an axis of moderate instability by peak heating. With moderately
strong northwesterly mid-level flow persisting regionally, 35-40 kt
or greater effective shear will exist from the Raton Mesa vicinity
across the central High Plains into west-central Nebraska. A few
supercells capable of large hail may occur, with the additional
possibility of wind damage, especially with a probable clustering of
storms across eastern Colorado/northeast New Mexico toward western
Kansas and the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles.

...Sabine River Valley...
A relatively widespread corridor of showers/thunderstorms are
ongoing this morning across northeast Texas to central/southeast
Louisiana to the north of a front that will settle southward today
across the region. A related cloud canopy will extend southward into
the warm sector, but moderate destabilization should occur into the
afternoon south of the front and on the south/southwest flank of the
residual early day storms. Some stronger storms could persist and/or
develop near the front this afternoon, with isolated instances of
damaging winds a possibility as low-level lapse rates steepen.

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

...SUMMARY...
Some strong to locally severe thunderstorms may occur late this
afternoon and evening across the southern High Plains.

...Southern High Plains...
A belt of moderate-strength west-northwesterly flow aloft will
persist atop a moist airmass regionally. Post-MCS air mass
influences and lingering cloud cover/outflows may be factors into
the afternoon, but RAP/HRRR-related guidance has trended a bit more
unstable and potentially more conducive to some isolated severe
storms later today. While confidence in forecast details are not
particularly high, this potential appears to be mainly focused in a
corridor across northeast New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle/Texas
South Plains, and possibly western Oklahoma later this afternoon
into evening. This is where locally moderate destabilization may
occur coincident with effective shear magnitudes that may reach
30-40 kt, with storm development focused near the surface trough
and/or influenced by differential heating. A few instances of severe
hail and/or wind will be possible.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EASTERN NM...THE TX PANHANDLE...AND FAR WESTERN OK...

...SUMMARY...
Some strong to locally severe thunderstorms may occur late this
afternoon and evening across the southern High Plains.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Recent surface analysis places a pair of highs across the CONUS, one
over southern Lower MI and another in the eastern ID/southwest MT
vicinity. A reservoir of low-level moisture, characterized by
dewpoints above 60 deg F, exists between these two features, from
the southern CONUS up through the Plains. The low-level moisture
will help foster thunderstorm development over much of this area,
with the highest coverage anticipated along the surface troughing
that extends from a pair of surface lows over the central Plains
into the southern High Plains.

A belt of moderate west-northwesterly flow aloft will extend
eastward from eastern CO/far northeast NM across KS into the Ozarks.
Southern periphery of this stronger flow will help support moderate
effective bulk shear across northeast NM and the TX Panhandle/TX
South Plains. Despite residual cloud cover and poor lapse rates,
ample low-level moisture will help support modest buoyancy across
the region as well. The resulting environmental conditions may
result in a few stronger storms capable of hail (likely below 1" in
diameter) and/or damaging gusts.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Overall severe weather potential is expected to be low today and
tonight.

...Discussion...
Modest-strength mid-level northwesterly winds aloft will persist
over the Great Plains, to the east of the Rockies-centered upper
ridge and an upper low off the coastal Pacific Northwest. Weak convergence/subtle surface troughing will be prevalent in
association with a persistently moist air mass across the southern
Plains. Although a few strong storms could occur across parts of Kansas/Oklahoma into Texas this afternoon into evening, the
combination of only modest instability and relatively weak
deep-layer shear should limit the overall severe-weather potential.
A few strong storms could also develop across southwest New Mexico
and southeast Arizona later this afternoon into this evening, with
some stronger wind gusts a possibility.

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

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe storms may occur across the southern Plains this
afternoon and early evening, including parts of southern Kansas and
western Oklahoma.

...Southern Plains including southern Kansas/western Oklahoma...
A shortwave trough centered over eastern Nebraska this morning will
progress southeastward toward the south-central Plains and
eventually the Ozarks by tonight. This will be in association with a strengthening belt of north-northwesterly mid-level winds (35 kt at
500 mb). While the related low-level/surface response will be muted,
a weak surface front/wind shift will progress southward from Kansas
into Oklahoma, with a relatively moist air mass preceding the
advancing front. Morning low clouds/stratus will abate by afternoon,
yielding to ample insolation and probably a corridor of moderate buoyancy/steepening lapse rates, particularly across southwest
Kansas/northwest Oklahoma. Increasing/widely scattered thunderstorm
development is probable into mid-afternoon near the front/wind shift
as the boundary layer warms. The enhanced north-northwesterly flow
aloft will contribute to 35+ kt effective shear, which could yield
some marginal supercells aside from evolving multicellular clusters.
Isolated instances of severe hail/damaging wind will be possible
through early evening as storms develop south-southeastward from
southern Kansas into western/northern Oklahoma.

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

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms with potential for isolated severe wind gusts and
marginally severe hail will be possible this afternoon into the
early evening across parts of the Upper Midwest.

...Upper Midwest...
An upper trough initially over central Canada will dig southeastward
into the Upper Midwest/Lake Superior vicinity during the period.
Showers and weak thunderstorms ongoing this morning over MN, aided
by an MCV over northern MN, will gradually dissipate with
differential heating/residual outflow arcing from southern MN west-northwestward towards the Dakotas/MN border by mid afternoon.
A cold front initially over ND will advance southeastward
into an adequately moist airmass, featuring surface dewpoints in the
lower to mid 60s F ahead of it. Diurnal heating will likely yield
moderate SBCAPE (1500-2000 J/kg) ahead of the front by mid-late
afternoon. Model guidance is consistent in showing a band of
scattered thunderstorms developing from the eastern half of SD into
central MN by the mid-late afternoon. Upscale growth with higher
storm coverage is expected from near the MN/SD border eastward into
central and southern MN during the 22-02 UTC period. The stronger
mid- and upper-level flow will likely lag behind the surface front
and limit effective shear magnitudes (at or below 25 kt). However,
a few organized multicells could be associated with isolated severe
wind gusts and hail before this activity subsides during the
early-mid evening.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms with potential for large to very large hail
and severe wind gusts are expected this afternoon and evening across
parts of the central Plains and lower Missouri Valley.

...Central Plains/Lower Missouri Valley...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid-level shortwave trough
over southern SD moving quickly southeast as a larger-scale mid- to
upper-level low moves from western ON to near Lake Superior during
the period. The smaller-scale disturbance is forecast to reach the
lower MO Valley by late afternoon with an attendant belt of
moderately strong northwesterly mid- to high-level flow
overspreading the central Plains into the mid MS Valley.

In the low levels, a cold front will advance southward across the
central Plains and lower Missouri Valley with 60s deg F surface
dewpoints ahead of the boundary. Diurnal heating will contribute to
moderate buoyancy by mid afternoon with convective inhibition
eroding near the front. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to
develop from central KS eastward into the lower MO Valley during the
20-00 UTC period.

The aforementioned strong northwesterly flow in the 500 to 300 mb
layer (35-55 kt) will yield effective shear supporting organized
updrafts. A few supercells will probably evolve across KS and
perhaps into western MO where the main risk will be large to very
large hail. Severe wind gusts will also be possible with
supercells, or small clusters/bowing segments where 0-2 km lapse
rates are steepest (i.e., KS). The severe threat is expected to
persist into the mid evening as several small clusters move
southeastward into southeast Kansas and adjacent portions of
northern OK and southwest Missouri.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF THE
EAST AND THE MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated damaging winds are possible across parts of the Northeast
to the southern Appalachians and Tennessee Valley from late morning
through the afternoon. Isolated severe gusts are possible across
parts of the middle Missouri Valley late this afternoon into the
early evening.

...Southern Appalachians/TN Valley to the Northeast...
Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms are ongoing this morning
from the Lower Great Lakes southward into the southern Appalachians. Water-vapor imagery shows a vertically stacked cyclone over Ontario
with a disturbance rotating through the basal portion of the larger
scale trough. This mid-level feature will quickly move from the
upper OH Valley into the NY/central Appalachians by the late afternoon.

Despite weak mid-level lapse rates, some diurnal heating ahead of
this activity should yield gradual intensification of thunderstorms
and increased storm coverage by late morning across parts of the
southern Appalachians. Locally damaging winds and marginally severe
hail are possible, centered on the eastern TN vicinity.

Isolated to scattered multicell clusters and short-line segments may
also evolve in the afternoon from convection along/ahead of the cold
front and lee trough. Weak MLCAPE and poor mid-level lapse rates
will temper convective vigor, with damaging wind potential locally
augmented to where pockets of deeper boundary-layer heating occur.

...Mid-MO Valley...
An intense mid-level speed max/shortwave trough will quickly move
from the southern part of the Prairie provinces into the mid MO
Valley by this afternoon, before moving into the southwest Great
Lakes by early Friday morning. Some model spread exists on the
magnitude of destabilization immediately ahead of a cold front
forecast to sweep through the region late this afternoon into the
evening. However, weak buoyancy appears likely to develop and
low-level lapse rates may become adequately steep to support a
narrow corridor of low-topped storms capable of isolated severe gusts.

...KS...
An accelerating and sharpening cold front will sweep south across
the central High/Great Plains tonight. Undercut/elevated convection
should form to the cold side of this boundary early Friday morning.
Locally strong surface gusts may accompany this activity amid robust
low-level northerlies.

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

...SUMMARY...
A few stronger thunderstorms capable of marginally severe wind
gusts/hail are possible across portions of the central and southern
High Plains late this afternoon through the early evening.

...Central/Southern High Plains...
Morning water-vapor imagery shows a low/trough over the eastern
Pacific with a downstream ridge over the Rockies. A couple of weak disturbances are cresting the ridge and may aid in storm development
later this afternoon/evening over the central High Plains later
today.

In the low levels, a lee trough and an associated moisture plume
over the High Plains will provide a focus for isolated to widely
scattered storms. Strong heating over the High Plains will
contribute to weak to moderate buoyancy by late afternoon.
South-southeasterly low-level winds veering to around 20-kt
northwesterly mid-level flow will support some modest updraft
organization. The stronger storms may yield an isolated severe-hail
(diameter 1.5 inches or less) and wind-gust (55-65 mph) threat. A
small cluster or two is expected to evolve during the evening
coincident with an increase in the LLJ. This activity will likely
move east-southeast into western KS and the OK/TX Panhandles, where
a cooling boundary layer and increasing CINH will act to limit
severe potential by mid-late evening.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible over parts of the
Northwest and northern Rockies with more isolated storms over the
High Plains. Severe potential is generally low.

...Synopsis...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows an upper low situated over
northern CA, and it will remain nearly stationary during the period
with a large area of cyclonic flow extending from southern CA into
the eastern Great Basin and central Rockies. A downstream upper
ridge over the High Plains will feature a lee trough that will act
to focus isolated to scattered thunderstorms from MT southward into
the central High Plains.

Strong heating and weak upslope flow beneath the aforementioned
upper-level ridge will favor a few isolated cells developing during
peak heating. A couple of the more vigorous storms may be capable
of localized strong gusts near 1) NM/OK/TX/CO border, 2) east of the
CO Front Range in the High Plains, and 3) in eastern WY. Warming
aloft is expected to mitigate the overall potential with these
storms. Farther west, a mid-level shortwave trough will move
through the base of the West Coast mid- to upper low/trough and to
near the UT/NV border by late afternoon/early evening. A
corresponding belt of 50-kt southwesterly 500-mb flow will
overspread western UT. Isolated dry microbursts may accompany the
stronger storms over central UT into western CO during the 22-02z period.

Elsewhere, scattered afternoon storms will occur beneath the upper
trough from northern NV into OR and western ID, and a few of these
storms could produce at least small hail given such cool
temperatures aloft and modest deep-layer shear.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
MONTANA EAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE DAKOTAS...AND IN THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...

...SUMMARY...
A few storms capable of isolated severe wind gusts and hail are
possible across the Four Corners region, and from eastern Montana
into the Dakotas.

...Synopsis...
An upper trough will remain over the Intermountain West, making slow
eastward progress through tonight. An embedded disturbance is
forecast to move from CO into the Dakotas late in the day, while a
midlevel jet rounds the base of the trough across AZ overnight.
Gradual height falls will occur across the length of High Plains
primarily overnight as the upper-level ridge to the east gradually
weakens.

...Eastern MT into the Dakotas...
Thunderstorm development/intensification is expected across MT/WY
east of a mid-level trough axis, where cool mid-level temperatures
and surface dew points in the 50s will lead to MLCAPE in the 500 -
locally 1000 J/kg range. Southwesterly deep-layer shear averaging
20-35 kts will be favorable for isolated storms with hail potential.
As storms move/develop farther east across eastern MT/western
ND/northwest SD towards evening, greater instability (MLCAPE on the
order of 2000 J/kg) should result in a severe hail and wind risk
with isolated stronger storms within a similarly-sheared
environment. Although the low-level jet should be weaker in this
area tonight, lingering instability across the western Dakotas
suggests some continued severe risk, primarily for strong/damaging
gusts, into the overnight hours.

...Four Corners Region...
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to
develop/intensify today from eastern AZ/southeast UT across western
portions of NM/CO, within a moist plume on the eastern periphery of
the mid-level trough. Cool mid-level temperatures will contribute to
modest MLCAPE, with locally higher values (above 1000 J/kg) over
southeastern AZ. A predominantly cellular or cluster mode is
expected, with isolated stronger storms capable of marginally severe
wind and hail. Storms should persist into the evening over western
NM/CO, with a few stronger storms remaining possible.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NEW MEXICO
NORTH INTO THE DAKOTAS...AND OVER PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe wind and hail will be possible from the
Southwest/southern Rockies to the northern Great Plains and a
portion of the Midwest, mainly today into early tonight.

...Southwest/southern Rockies/High Plains...
An increase in thunderstorm coverage is anticipated from CO south
into NM today as ascent/mid-level cooling with the western U.S.
upper trough and several embedded vorticity maxima overspread the
region. Extensive cloud cover will tend to limit the potential for
widespread significant destabilization, with generally modest MLCAPE
(at or below 1000 J/kg) over much of the area from CO southward into northern/western NM. Over portions of southern/eastern NM, however,
higher surface dew points surging northwest from southwestern TX
should help to focus a region of greater instability, with MLCAPE of
1000 to locally near 1500 J/kg possible by afternoon. Ongoing
thunderstorms should expand in coverage and increase in intensity as
diurnal destabilization occurs, with isolated severe hail and wind
possible with the strongest storms.

Over southern/eastern NM, deep-layer shear will be more supportive
of organized updrafts as a belt of stronger mid-level flow develops
near the base of the trough, resulting in elongated hodographs.
Here, a somewhat more concentrated risk for severe hail and wind may
develop with a couple storms developing supercell structures. Higher
severe probabilities were considered for this area, however
lingering concerns over the effects of ongoing storms and related
cloud cover lowered confidence in increasing probabilities with this outlook.

...NE/SD/ND...
Strong storms were ongoing this morning over portions of the western
Dakotas in association with embedded impulses in advance of the
upper trough. The resulting extensive cloud cover/outflows from
multiple rounds of thunderstorms will tend to temper destabilization
later today within a modestly-sheared environment. Nevertheless,
some isolated severe wind/hail potential will exist as storms over
central SD move into ND today. Thunderstorms are expected to
redevelop across the central High Plains of NE/northeast CO later
this afternoon and evening and move into western SD tonight. Here,
sufficient diurnal destabilization in the wake of earlier convection
may result in a continued risk for isolated severe storms with
strong-damaging gusts and hail.

...IL/IN/WI...
A small cluster of thunderstorms over northeast IL/northwest IN,
associated with an earlier MCV over WI and ongoing/modest warm
advection, is expected to continue moving SSE in the short term
across eastern IL/far western IN. Some isolated severe wind and hail
potential may develop as this cluster of storms moves along an
intensifying instability gradient within a northwest flow regime
through at least early afternoon as boundary layer heating commences.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WYOMING
INTO WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...OVER FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA...AND
NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe gusts are possible across Wyoming into western South
Dakota this afternoon to early evening. Isolated severe hail and
damaging wind are possible across far northern Minnesota in the
early to mid-afternoon. A brief tornado is possible in the northeast
North Carolina vicinity in the early morning Tuesday.

...WY to western SD...
A shortwave trough over western ID will move east across WY/western
SD during the day, as several embedded vorticity maxima contribute
regions of enhanced ascent. Steep mid-level lapse rates of 8-9 deg
C/km, combined with diurnal heating, will result in MLCAPE of a few
hundred J/kg across much of the area. Despite weak buoyancy, the favorably-timed ascent will contribute to thunderstorm development/intensification this afternoon as storms approach
northeast WY/western SD. A deep and well-mixed boundary layer will
lead to high-based convection capable of isolated strong/damaging
gusts through early evening, with intensities diminishing thereafter
as nocturnal cooling commences.

...Northeast NC/southeast VA vicinity...
A surface low southeast of Cape Hatteras is forecast to move towards
the NC coast through 12z Tuesday, with a belt of stronger low-level
flow developing north/northwest of the low. Variability remains
regarding the forecast location of the low and strength of low-level
winds, however a conditional risk for a tornado would exist early
Tuesday morning with stronger convective elements, should sufficient
low-level hodograph curvature develop, as high theta-e air is
advected west across the northeast NC/southeast VA vicinity.

...Far northern MN...
Thunderstorm development is expected this afternoon within a northwest-southeast oriented arc from southeast Manitoba across
northeast Ontario as a shortwave trough becomes increasingly
negatively tilted while lifting northeast. Although development
south of the international border is uncertain, some CAM guidance
suggest isolated development is possible. Moderate buoyancy and
effective shear of 35-40 kts over far northern MN suggests a
conditional risk for severe wind/hail would exist should storm
development occur in this area.

...MO/AR vicinity...
A few strong gusts will be possible again today with pulse-type
storms within a weakly-sheared but strongly unstable (MLCAPE of
2500-3000 J/kg) environment.

NKX sounding sampled a 1.95 PWAT, which is well above the 90th
percentile based on SPC sounding climatology. Filtered heating is
anticipated within this moist environment, resulting in moderate
buoyancy across much of eastern southern CA and southwest AZ this
afternoon. Moderate vertical shear is anticipated as well,
particularly across eastern southern CA. Thunderstorm development is
expected during the afternoon, with a predominantly multicellular
mode. However, enough shear and instability are in place to support organization with any more persistent updrafts, and a few supercells
capable of damaging gusts are possible.

A very-low-probability tornado threat exists as well, particularly
in the Lower CO Valley vicinity where some guidance suggests surface
winds stay more southeasterly. Even so, the low-level flow is weak
and any tornado threat should be very localized.

...Central/Southern Plains into Ozarks and Mid/Lower MO Valley...
Broad upper troughing remains in place across the northern/central
Plains, anchored by a pair of modest cyclones, one currently
centered over central SD and the other centered over the MT/SK
border vicinity. Another shortwave trough is rotating through the
base of this troughing, and is forecast to progress
eastward/southward into KS and northern OK today before pivoting
into IA/MO/AR during tonight.

Surface analysis reveals a pair of lows, one beneath the central SD
cyclone and another weaker one over northeast OK. Modest troughing
extends between these lows and a diffuse cold front extends
southwestward from the northeast OK low into the TX South Plains.
Mid 60s dewpoints currently extend through much of eastern KS and
western MO.

A modest eastward/southeastward push of the cold front/surface
trough is expected as the shortwave trough moves into KS, with
ascent attendant to these features resulting in thunderstorm
development from the Mid MO Valley across eastern KS/western MO into
central OK and far northwest TX. Highest coverage appears most
likely from far eastern KS into western MO, northeast OK, and
northwest AR. Buoyancy and shear will both be fairly modest.
However, strong high-level flow may support a greater chance of hail
from the TX Panhandle into OK, while the coldest midlevel
temperatures also support hail from eastern KS into MO.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms may impact parts of southwestern
Nebraska into western and central Kansas late this afternoon and
evening, accompanied by some risk for severe hail and wind.

...Synopsis...
A weak upper trough/low will move eastward today from the northern
Plains to the Upper Midwest. An embedded mid-level shortwave trough
and speed maximum over eastern WY/western SD this morning will
rotate southeastward across parts of the central Plains this
afternoon and evening. Weak upper ridging will be maintained over
portions of the Southwest/Four Corners into the northern Great
Basin, with multiple low-amplitude perturbations forecast to spread east-northeastward across these regions. At the surface, a weak low
over the eastern Dakotas should gradually fill through the day,
while a front stalls along/near the KS/NE border to the east of
modest lee cyclogenesis over the central High Plains.

...Central Plains...
It appears that increasing large-scale ascent associated with the
embedded shortwave trough and modestly enhanced west-northwesterly
jet may be sufficient to encourage isolated thunderstorms to develop
by late afternoon/early evening across parts of southwest NE into
western KS. This region should have a modestly moist low-level
airmass in place, with enough daytime heating forecast to support
around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE. Even though mid-level lapse rates
are not expected to become overly steep, strong deep-layer shear
should aid in convective updraft organization. There is still
considerable uncertainty with overall thunderstorm coverage this afternoon/evening across the central Plains. Any thunderstorms that
can form and be sustained could produce isolated severe hail and/or
gusts as they spread southeastward across western/central KS through
the evening.

...Upper Midwest...
Modest west-southwesterly mid-level winds will be present today over
parts of the Upper Midwest on the eastern side of the upper-level
trough/low. Lapse rates aloft are forecast to remain rather poor,
which should limit the development of any more than weak instability
this afternoon. While scattered to numerous thunderstorms are
expected to develop later today, the overall thermodynamic/kinematic environment appears too marginal to include low severe probabilities.

...Southwest...
Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing this morning across parts of central/eastern AZ into western NM and far west TX. This activity is
related to weak ascent aloft associated with minor perturbations
rotating through/around a weak upper ridge over the Southwest. Some
guidance shows potential for additional robust thunderstorm
development by late afternoon/early evening, likely aided by
orographic lift and other weak mid-level disturbances. Substantial
uncertainty exists regarding the intensity of these thunderstorms
later today owing to ongoing clouds/precipitation, lack of a notable
EML, and limited forecast instability/low-level lapse rates. Have
therefore not included any severe wind probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to locally severe thunderstorms may impact parts of
the south-central Plains this afternoon and evening, accompanied by
an isolated threat for strong to severe wind gusts and marginally
severe hail.

...South-Central Plains...
A small cluster of thunderstorms across northeast OK, southwest MO,
and northwest AR this morning has remained mostly sub-severe
overnight owing to weak instability and deep-layer shear. Current
expectations are for this activity to further weaken as it spreads
eastward across AR and southern MO through mid/late morning. Outflow
from these thunderstorms has surged southward across much of OK per
radar imagery. Recent surface observations also show the primary
front arcs from the OK Panhandle vicinity northeastward into
central/eastern KS. A moist and moderately unstable airmass is
forecast to exist this afternoon along/south of the front where
daytime heating occurs.

Large-scale ascent aloft will remain nebulous/weak, with multiple
low-amplitude mid-level perturbations present on the eastern
periphery of upper ridging centered over Mexico and the Southwest.
Still, isolated to scattered thunderstorms should develop this
afternoon and evening, potentially along and south of the residual
outflow boundary from the ongoing convection this morning. As
low-level lapse rates become steepened through the day, isolated
strong to severe gusts may occur with the more robust thunderstorms
that form. Even though deep-layer shear will remain meager, modestly
steepened mid-level lapse rates and cool temperatures aloft may also
support occasional hail. The Marginal Risk has been adjusted for the
latest guidance and observational trends, with somewhat greater
confidence in convection occurring across the OK/TX Panhandles into
OK along/near the outflow boundary compared to locations farther
north in KS along the front.

...Upper Midwest/Great Lakes...
A weak upper trough over the Upper Midwest this morning will
translate slowly eastward across parts of the OH Valley and Upper
Great Lakes through the period. A seasonably moist low-level airmass
will remain over these areas along/south of a front, but mid-level
lapse rates are expected to remain quite poor. Ongoing precipitation
and cloud cover should also temper destabilization to some degree
through this afternoon, with only weak MLCAPE forecast to develop.
While isolated strong/gusty winds and small hail may occur with any
of the stronger cores that can form later this afternoon across
parts of WI into northern IL/IN and southern Lower MI, the overall
severe threat appears too limited to include low severe
probabilities at this time.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE MID-SOUTH/TENNESSEE VALLEY TO SOUTH TEXAS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms may generate isolated damaging wind gusts
today from parts of the Mid-South/Tennessee Valley to south Texas.

...Mid-South/Tennessee Valley to South Texas...
A positively tilted mid-level trough/low extending from the Great
Lakes to southern Plains will translate slowly eastward today while
gradually amplifying. At the surface, a cold front will continue
tracking south-southeastward across the southern Plains and
lower/mid MS Valley through the period, with a weak low forecast to
gradually develop towards the OH Valley and lower Great Lakes by
late tonight. Ongoing convection across north-central TX and the
southern AR vicinity has remained mostly sub-severe early this
morning, with the TX thunderstorms post-frontal and likely somewhat
elevated. The activity across southern AR is being aided by a modest southwesterly low-level jet, and ascent preceding a mid-level
shortwave trough with attendant 40-50 kt westerly jet over OK.

Current expectations are for gradual destabilization to occur
along/south of the front through this afternoon, with filtered
daytime heating of a moist low-level airmass aiding in the
development of weak to moderate instability. Lapse rates aloft are
forecast to remain generally poor, which may tend to limit updraft
strength to some extent. Still, enhanced mid-level flow and related
deep-layer shear associated with the shortwave trough should aid in
updraft organization, with multicell clusters anticipated to develop
and spread eastward across much of the lower MS Valley and
Mid-South/TN Valley this afternoon and evening.

Areas along/north of the ongoing convection in southern AR may
struggle to destabilize, with only weak instability forecast by most
guidance. Even so, the stronger mid-level flow/shear attendant to
the shortwave trough may foster occasional damaging winds if
stronger convection can be sustained. Locations south/east of the
thunderstorms this morning will likely realize greater instability
as diurnal heating occurs, but will remain mostly displaced from the
stronger mid-level flow. This suggests convection will probably tend
to be less organized with southward extent, especially into
coastal/south TX. But, isolated severe/damaging winds may still
occur as low-level lapse rates steepen though the day.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHEAST INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...AND
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms are expected from the Southeast to southern
New England today. Isolated damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or
two will be possible with some of this convection. Additional
thunderstorms posing a risk for marginally severe hail and wind may
occur across parts of the Southwest.

...Southeast to Southern New York/New England...
A positively tilted upper trough extending from the Great Lakes
across the mid/lower MS Valley and southern Plains will make slow
progress eastward today towards the Atlantic/Gulf Coasts. At the
surface, a cold front will make similar eastward development, with a
moist airmass in place ahead of it. Rather poor lapse rates aloft
and cloud cover/ongoing precipitation will delay/hinder diurnal
destabilization across much of the warm sector today. A weakly
unstable airmass is still anticipated along/ahead of the front from
the Mid-Atlantic northward into southern New England. Enhanced
southwesterly low/mid-level flow may support occasional damaging
winds with thunderstorm clusters that can develop. Sufficient
low-level shear may also be in place to support some risk for a
tornado or two, mainly from parts of northern VA into southern
NY/New England. Deep-layer shear is forecast to be weaker with
southward extent from the Carolinas into GA, but greater instability
should be present owing to stronger diurnal heating. Isolated strong
to damaging winds may occur with convection that can develop
along/ahead of the front across these areas as well.

...Southwest...
A closed mid/upper-level low over central CA this morning will move
slowly east-southeastward through the period. Mid-level
west-southwesterly flow ahead of this feature should gradually
increase through the day, with large-scale ascent overspreading
parts of the Southwest by early afternoon. Scattered to numerous
thunderstorms are expected to develop initially over the higher
terrain of AZ, and subsequently develop slowly northward through the
evening. Weak to locally moderate instability coupled with modest
deep-layer shear may support an isolated hail/wind threat with the
more robust convection that develops, especially where low-level
lapse rates can become steepened through diurnal heating/mixing of
the boundary layer.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST AND EAST-CENTRAL ARIZONA...

...SUMMARY...
Strong thunderstorms with hail and marginally severe gusts are
possible today across parts of southern and central Arizona into far southwestern New Mexico.

...AZ...
Morning water vapor loop shows an upper low over southern CA,
tracking southeastward toward southern AZ. Increasing low-level
winds and large-scale lift associated with this system will aid
widespread thunderstorms today from southeast into east-central AZ.
Along the western periphery of this convection, a rather moist and
unstable air mass will be present. Afternoon MLCAPE values over
2500 J/kg and moderately steep mid-level lapse rates will promote
some risk of hail in the stronger cells. Steep low-level lapse
rates will also develop immediately west of the primary thunderstorm
area, which could result in gusty/damaging winds. Most model
guidance suggests that widespread storms will persist through much
of the day, with steering flow from the southwest limiting the
amount of westward development into the lower deserts. Therefore
have maintained the ongoing MRGL risk, and will continue to
re-evaluate for a possible upgrade through the day.

An upper low over western AZ will continue to track slowly eastward

TS Imelda is expected to strengthen off the FL coast today, but
remain well offshore. While a few thunderstorms will be possible in
distant outer bands from much of FL into the NC/SC/GA coast, the
risk of strong/severe storms is low.

A relatively stagnant upper pattern persists across the nation
today, with a broad ridge across most of the central/eastern US.
Upper troughs will affect the northwest and northeast states. A few

...Great Basin into Northern Rockies...
As the upper trough continues to slowly build into the western
states, sufficient low/midlevel moisture will be present along and
ahead of a cold front to yield marginal CAPE values (generally below
1000 J/kg). Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
expected this afternoon along a corridor from central CA into
western MT. Weak instability and weak low-level winds should
preclude severe storms.

...MN/WI/MI...
A weak cold front will sag southward into the Lake Superior region
later today, aiding in the development of scattered thunderstorms.
Forecast soundings show modest lapse rates and MLCAPE values of
around 500 J/kg. Shear profiles would support a conditional risk of
organized storms, but weak moisture/instability should preclude
severe storms.

Elsewhere, scattered diurnally driven thunderstorms are expected in
a moist environment across the lower/mid MS Valley, and over parts
of FL.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms capable of isolated severe gusts and hail will be
possible from late this afternoon into tonight from parts of the
Intermountain West into the central and northern Rockies.

...Intermountain West into the Central/Northern Rockies...
A well-defined, slightly positively tilted shortwave trough is
currently progressing through northern/central CA. Eastward
progression is expected to continue throughout the day, with the
shortwave forecast reach western UT by early Saturday morning with a
more neutral tilt. Strong mid-level flow will extend throughout the
base of this shortwave, spreading from central/southern CA into the
central Intermountain West as the wave moves eastward. Strong
large-scale forcing for ascent will precede this wave as well,
contributing to isolated to scattered thunderstorms throughout much
of the Great Basin into the western Slopes. Strong daytime heating
and steep low to mid-level lapse rates will support buoyancy
throughout much of this region, although the relatively scant
low-level moisture will keep the overall buoyancy modest. Even with
the modest buoyancy, high-based storms combined with moderate
low/mid-level flow could still result in a few strong surface gusts.
Greatest chance for a few gust will be later this afternoon/early
evening from northern into east-central UT. Persistent forcing for
ascent will result in thunderstorm development throughout the
evening and overnight amid strengthening mid-level flow and cooling
mid-level temperatures. Buoyancy will remain modest, but a few
instances of hail are possible this evening and tonight,
particularly across northern/eastern UT and vicinity.

...Elsewhere...
A broad and weak upper low will remain centered over the central
Gulf Coast, with lift associated with this system contributing to
thunderstorms within the moist airmass in place along the Gulf Coast
and FL. Southern extent of a cold front moving across Ontario will
glance Upper MI and northern Lower MI, contributing to isolated
storms. A few afternoon thunderstorms are also possible across Mid
MS Valley amid strong heating, moderate low-level moisture, and
modest low-level convergence. In each of these areas, limited shear
should keep the severe potential low.

An extensive low-level jet is anticipated from the southern High
Plains into the Upper MS Valley tonight. A few elevated
thunderstorms are possible across eastern ND and northwestern MN
tonight, but warm mid-level temperatures should mitigate the overall
severe potential.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
SOUTHEAST WY...FAR NORTHEAST CO AND THE NE PANHANDLE...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe wind gusts/hail may accompany the stronger
thunderstorms across the central Rockies into the northern High
Plains late this afternoon and evening.

...Central Rockies to northern Plains...
Current satellite imagery shows an upper low moving into western UT
within broadly cyclonic upper flow from the western CONUS into
northern/central Plains. This upper low is forecast to devolve into
an open wave while continuing northeastward within the broad
troughing, reaching the northern Plains by early tomorrow morning.
Moderate to strong mid-level flow will persist throughout the
eastern periphery of this wave, spreading eastward from the central
Rockies and across the northern/central Plains into the Upper
Midwest.

Recent surface analysis shows lower pressure across the Plains ahead
of the upper low. A cold front was also analyzed from southeast
Manitoba southwestward across the central Dakotas and southern WY to
another low in southwest WY. Pressure gradient between these lower
pressures over the Plains and the high over the Mid-Atlantic will
support gusty southerly winds across the Plains and Mid/Upper MS
Valley. Even with this moderate southerly flow, low-level moisture
along and ahead of the cold front will remain modest, offset by
strong boundary-layer heating and resultant mixing. This should keep
much of the northern and central Plains free of thunderstorms
throughout the day.

Some daytime thunderstorms are likely across the central Rockies,
closer to the upper low and stronger large-scale ascent. These
storms are expected to progress northeastward towards a warmer and
more mixed airmass over southeast WY/northeast CO/NE Panhandle
during the late afternoon/early evening. A few stronger gusts are
possible as these ongoing storms interact with the deeply mixed
boundary layer over the area. The cold front will be near this
region as well, with some gust enhancement possible due to frontal
circulations as well.

Later into the evening, a strengthening low-level jet and resulting
warm-air advection will aid in thunderstorm development north of the
front, most likely from northern SD into eastern ND/northwest MN.
Cooling mid-level temperatures will help support moderate buoyancy
with MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg. Moderate vertical shear will be in
place as well, with the resulting environmental conditions
supportive of occasional updrafts capable of producing hail.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over portions of the
central Plains late this afternoon and evening.

...Central Plains...
Early-morning satellite imagery shows a progressive shortwave trough
moving quickly across the central/eastern Dakotas. This shortwave is
embedded within broad upper troughing that covers much of the
western and central CONUS. Upper ridging centered over the
Mid-Atlantic covers much of the eastern CONUS.

Recent surface analysis places a low over the eastern ND/SD border
vicinity. A cold front extends southward from this low across
eastern SD and then back more southwestward across central NE and
northwest KS. This low is expected to progress quickly northeastward
just ahead of its parent shortwave, with the cold front making
steady eastward/southeastward progress as well. Airmass preceding
this cold front will be modestly moist, with dewpoints likely in the
upper 50s/lows 60s from the central Plains into the Upper Midwest,
despite relatively strong pre-frontal heating/mixing. Even with
these warm and modestly moist pre-frontal conditions, buoyancy will
remain limited due to warm mid-level temperatures. Still,
thunderstorm development appears probable along the length of front
from the Upper Midwest into the central Plains. Given the limited
buoyancy and front-parallel orientation of the deep-layer vertical
shear, much of this development will likely be undercut quickly by
the progressive front.

This convective evolution should temper the overall severe
potential, despite seasonally strong mid-level southwesterly flow
near the frontal zone. Greatest severe threat is expected over
western/central KS, where the best overlap between the modest
buoyancy and moderate shear exists. A few more organized updrafts
capable of producing large hail and strong gusts are possible here.

coast. Moderate southwesterlies will persist throughout the eastern
periphery of the upper troughing, although much of this stronger
flow will remain displaced north of the cold front.

Given the presence of moderate pre-frontal low-level moisture (i.e.
dewpoints generally in the low 60s), showers and occasional
thunderstorms are expected along the front as it continues eastward/southeastward today. However, overall buoyancy will be
tempered by poor mid-level lapse rates. Two areas along the frontal
zone, northern IL into Lower MI and eastern NM/TX Panhandle, do
appear to have a higher potential for a few stronger storms.

...Northern IL into Lower MI...
Surface dewpoints in the low 60s, temperatures in the upper 70s/low
80s, and modest buoyancy (i.e. MLCAPE around 500 J/kg) are expected
across the region ahead of the approaching cold front. Lift along
the front, along with additional ascent provided by a low-amplitude
embedded shortwave trough, will interact with this buoyancy to
support thunderstorm development along the cold front as it
progresses eastward across the region. Moderate shear will also be
in place, with the orientation of the deep-layer shear vector a bit
more orthogonal to the front than areas farther south. As such,
there is greater potential for thunderstorms to remain within the
warm sector longer. As such, a few stronger storms with damaging
gust potential are possible across northern IL owing to 30-40 kt of
effective shear oriented along the boundary. These storms may
continue after dark into lower MI with sporadic damaging gust
potential. Even so, minimal buoyancy should limit the overall severe
threat.

...Eastern NM into the TX Panhandle...
Strong heating and mixing will contribute to boundary-layer
destabilization ahead of the cold front by the late afternoon. This destabilization will likely lead to thunderstorm development along
the front, but the overall buoyancy will be limited by warm
mid-level temperatures/poor mid-level lapse rates. Even so, high
storm bases and 30 kt of deep-layer shear could result in a few
stronger gusts. Overall potential and coverage is currently expected
to be too low to merit introducing any severe probabilities.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NM...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms with hail and isolated severe wind gusts
will be possible this afternoon and evening across parts of western
and central New Mexico.

...Synopsis...
Early morning surface analysis places a low over southern Lower MI,
with a cold front extending back southwestward into northwest TX
before arcing more westward through the TX South Plains into
southeast NM. High pressure will continue to settle southward across
the northern Plains and Upper Midwest throughout the day, helping to
push the cold front farther southward/southeastward. By 00Z, this
cold front will likely extend from western NY southwestward into
southwest TX then westward across the TX Trans Pecos and
northwestward into south-central NM.

A seasonally moist airmass precedes this cold front, with ascent
along this frontal zone, as well as pre-frontal warm-air advection,
supporting the currently ongoing showers and thunderstorms along and
ahead of the front from the central Plains into the Mid MS and OH
Valleys. Showers and thunderstorms along and ahead of the front will
likely continue throughout the day, but poor lapse rates will
keeping buoyancy low and tempering storm strength. Aside from NM
(discussed below), best chance for a few stronger storms is over north-central/northeast OH into western PA where deep-layer shear
will be a bit more orthogonal to the front.

...Western and Central New Mexico...
Upslope easterly/southeasterly surface winds are anticipated across
much of central and southern NM along the southern and western
periphery of a stalling cold front. Strong heating of this modestly
moist boundary layer beneath steep lapse rates aloft will support
airmass destabilization and limited buoyancy. Upslope flow and
orographic effects combined with a very modest shortwave trough
progressing along the northern periphery of a building ridge should
provide enough lift for thunderstorm initiation. Wind profiles
featuring low-level southerlies veering to moderate
west-southwesterlies aloft should be strong enough to result in a
few stronger, more organized storms capable of large hail. Given the
high storm bases, a strong downburst or two is possible as well.
However, rising mid-level heights and modest buoyancy will likely
limit storm duration, keeping the overall severe threat marginal.

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
The risk for organized severe thunderstorms is low today and tonight.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Early morning satellite imagery depicts extensive upper ridging from
the southern Plains into the Canadian Prairies, with a pair of
shortwave troughs flanking this ridging. The eastern shortwave
trough extends from the Hudson Bay southwestward through the OH
Valley while the western shortwave extends from central British
Columbia to off the Pacific Northwest coast. The eastern trough will
remain progressive today, taking it off the Northeast coast by this
evening. The western trough will deepen into a notable upper low
while remaining just off the Pacific Northwest Coast. The upper
ridging between these two systems will expand
northward/northeastward and cover much of the CONUS by early
Thursday morning.

Recent surface analysis placed an extensive cold front from central
ME southwestward into central MS before arcing more westward into
southwest TX and then back northwestward through central NM. Eastern
portion of this front will remain progressive today, moving quickly
off the Northeast coast over the next few hours. The central portion
of the front will also make steady southeastward/southward progress
into more of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast states. Modest buoyancy
ahead of the front will support isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms across the Southeast. Meager buoyancy should keep the
severe threat low, although some lingering mid-level flow could
allow for a few transient multicells capable of strong outflow gusts.

A few isolated thunderstorms are possible for the Lower MS Valley
into South TX but limited convergence along the front and warm
mid-level temperatures should keep coverage low. Higher thunderstorm
chances exist farther west into NM/AZ, where another day of
low-level upslope flow is anticipated on the western periphery of
the stalled cold front. Strong heating will destabilize the airmass,
with isolated to scattered thunderstorm expected this afternoon.
Modest vertical shear (20-30kt) may support a few more robust
multicell storms capable of occasional damaging gusts and small hail
given steeper low and-level lapse rates and around 1000 J/kg of MUCAPE.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE GREAT BASIN/SOUTHWEST...AND COASTAL NORTH CAROLINA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and
evening across the eastern Great Basin and Southwest. A brief
tornado and occasional strong to severe gusts may occur over the
Outer Banks of North Carolina during the early morning Sunday.

...Great Basin/Southwest...
A large-scale upper trough over the western states this morning will
advance inland today across the northern Rockies and Great Basin. At
the surface, a cold front will also develop eastward across these
areas through the period, while becoming less well defined into the
Southwest. A broad fetch of tropical moisture emanating from the
eastern Pacific will continue to stream northward ahead of the upper
trough, with rich low/mid-level moisture expected across parts of
the Southwest and southern Great Basin. Ongoing cloudiness and
precipitation across eastern UT/western CO into AZ will hinder
daytime heating to some extent. Greater instability should develop
on the periphery of the morning precipitation, namely across parts
of western/central UT and central/southern AZ. Still, mid-level
lapse rates are expected to remain modest across these areas, and
only weak instability is forecast where filtered diurnal heating can
occur.

Current expectations are for a gradual increase in coverage and
intensity of thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across parts
of the eastern Great Basin into the Southwest as large-scale ascent
associated with the upper trough overspreads these areas. Occasional
hail may occur with the stronger cores, as around 30-40 kt of
deep-layer shear (locally greater across UT) supports organized
updrafts. Otherwise, isolated strong to severe gusts should be the
main threat with scattered to numerous thunderstorms that will
spread east-northeastward through the afternoon and evening. The
only appreciable change to the Marginal Risk with this update was to
expand it southward into more of central/southern AZ where somewhat
greater heating/instability is forecast to occur/develop later
today.

...Coastal North Carolina/Outer Banks...
A slow-moving upper trough/low over the Southeast will encourage a
surface low to deepen off the coast of the Carolinas during the
latter half of the period. This feature may approach the NC Coast
early Sunday morning, which will prove favorable for upper 60s to
low 70s surface dewpoints to advect inland as east-northeasterly
low-level flow strengthens late tonight. While lapse rates aloft
will remain poor, some buoyancy increase is expected. Ample forecast
low-level and deep-layer shear suggest some risk for a tornado and
gusty winds with any supercell that can form in this environment and
move inland across the Outer Banks/coastal NC.

...Northern High Plains...
Strong ascent preceding the ejecting upper trough will overspread
the northern Rockies and adjacent High Plains this afternoon and
evening. This should support isolated to scattered thunderstorms
initially developing over the higher terrain to move northeastward
across parts of southern/eastern MT. Low-level moisture should
remain fairly limited across this area, and lapse rates aloft are
forecast to be modest. This should hinder the degree of instability
which can develop. Still, enhanced mid-level flow may still support
some threat for strong/gusty winds with any convection that
persists. The overall severe threat appears too isolated to include
low wind probabilities at this time, although trends will be
monitored.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN/CENTRAL ARIZONA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur today across parts
of southern/central Arizona, with marginally severe hail and gusty
winds the main threats.

...Southern/Central Arizona...
A shortwave trough will continue ejecting northeastward across the
northern Plains today, as large-scale upper troughing persists over
much of the western CONUS. A reservoir of greater low-level moisture
will remain confined to parts of southern/central AZ, where mid 60s
to lower 70s surface dewpoints are present across lower elevations.
Even though mid-level lapse rates are expected to remain fairly
modest, around 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop this afternoon
with filtered daytime heating. Weak low-level winds will strengthen
with height at mid/upper-levels, supporting around 30-40 kt of
deep-layer shear. While large-scale ascent is forecast to remain
fairly nebulous, most guidance still suggests scattered to numerous thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across this region and
spread generally east-northeastward through the early evening. With
favorable shear in place for some updraft organization, some of
these thunderstorms could pose an isolated threat for marginally
severe hail and/or gusty winds.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
COASTAL CALIFORNIA...AND THE SOUTHWEST INTO FAR WEST TEXAS...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated, marginally severe hail and wind may occur from the Four
Corners region and eastern Arizona to far west Texas this afternoon
and evening. Locally damaging winds appear possible mainly tonight
along parts of south-central coastal California.

...Coastal California...
An upper trough/low over the coastal Pacific Northwest this morning
will dig southward along the CA Coast through tonight. An attendant
strong mid-level jet will round the base of this trough and
overspread parts of coastal south-central CA this evening into early
Tuesday morning. Strong forcing for ascent with this jet should
support low-topped convection along/ahead of a surface cold front.
Even though low-level moisture and related instability are expected
to remain quite limited with poor lapse rates present, strong flow
aloft may still support gusty to locally severe/damaging winds as
convection spreads east-southeastward along parts of the CA Coast
late this evening and overnight.

...Southwest into Far West Texas...
Between the upper trough/low over the West Coast and upper ridging
centered over much of the Plains, a fetch of low/mid-level moisture
with tropical origins will persist today over parts of the
Southwest. Mid-level lapse rates will remain poor, but diurnal
heating should gradually destabilize the airmass this afternoon,
with scattered to numerous convection forecast to once again
initially develop over the higher terrain of AZ into the Four
Corners region. Strong deep-layer shear may support some updraft
organization, with isolated hail and gusty winds possible with the
more robust cores. A somewhat separate corridor of strong to
isolated severe thunderstorms may develop northeastward late this
afternoon and evening off the higher terrain of north-central Mexico
into portions of far west TX.
