Well actually it was more a repetitive statement that is at the bottom of the text as well (which I missed), although I thought the location of the new watch might give it away.

 

...NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL BE ISSUED SOON FOR PORTIONS OF SERN   KS...SWRN MO...NERN OK...NWRN AR...

...LOWER OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS INTO GREAT LAKES... 
UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING SWD FROM LOW IN NWRN IA INTO ERN TX. 
UPSTREAM VIGOROUS TROUGH MOVING RAPIDLY EWD ACROSS SWRN CANADA WILL 
PROVIDE KICKER TO FORCE CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH NEWD ACROSS MID MS 
VALLEY AND WRN OH VALLEY BY THIS EVENING. 
STRONG...GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL SSWLY FLOW AHEAD OF TROUGH AND 
SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE. COLD FRONT AT 15Z EXTENDED FROM WRN 
IL...SSWWD INTO SWRN AR WITH A WEAK SURFACE WAVE ON FRONT SRN IL. 
THE SLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF FRONT IS VERY MOIST WITH DEWPOINTS AOA 
70F EXTENDING NWD INTO SRN MI. LAPSE RATES IN THIS AIRMASS IS 
RATHER WEAK....5-6C/KM...HOWEVER WHERE HEATING IS ABLE TO OCCUR 
MLCAPES UPWARDS TO 1500 J/KM SHOULD DEVELOP BY MID AFTERNOON. 
WHILE PRIMARY THREAT TODAY WILL BE WIND DAMAGE IN THE STRONG 40-60 
KT FLOW AT MID LEVELS...THERE IS SUFFICIENT TURNING IN THE BOUNDARY 
LAYER TO SUPPORT THREAT OF ISOLATED SUPERCELLS...PARTICULARLY WRN 
TN AND OH VALLEY WHERE AFTERNOON TEMPS SHOULD WARM INTO THE MID 
80S. 
GIVEN ONLY A WEAK CAP...SURFACE BASED STORMS WILL INCREASE QUICKLY 
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. FAST STORM MOTION AROUND 40KT WILL ENHANCE 
WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL. STORMS SHOULD EVOLVE INTO LINES FROM WRN 
KY/TN WITH BOWING SEGMENTS. WITH THE LOW LFC'S OF AROUND 1KM 
ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP AS 
HELICITIES IN WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF FRONT WILL BE FROM 100-200 J/KG. 
FURTHER N CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS AND PCPN ACROSS MI/IN INTO NWRN 
OH SHOULD RESULT IN A REDUCED THREAT OF SEVERE MUCH OF AFTERNOON. 
HOWEVER BY LATE AFTERNOON ACTIVITY FROM FURTHER S LIKELY WILL 
DEVELOP RAPIDLY NEWD INTO THIS AREA WITH A THREAT FOR WIND DAMAGE 
INTO THIS EVENING AS UPPER TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA.

Tough one...gonna guess 9/20/02.

That's it. I thought the old formatting (svr storms right of a line etc) would be a hint that it was an older event.

For those who may not be familiar, this was the day of the 100+ mile long tornado that went through Indy.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1126 AM CDT ### ### ## ####

VALID ##1630Z - ##1200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN

SD...EASTERN NEB...CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MN...MUCH OF IA...AND WESTERN

WI...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE MIDWEST

STATES...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM SOUTHEAST MO/SOUTHERN IL

INTO MS/AL...

...UPPER MIDWEST...

A POWERFUL SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS ROTATING OUT OF THE NORTHERN HIGH

PLAINS AND INTO THE DAKOTAS TODAY...WITH AN ASSOCIATED 60-70 KNOT

MID LEVEL JET MAX NOSING INTO MN. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A

COLD FRONT SURGING EASTWARD ACROSS SD/NEB...WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE

THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR INTENSE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATER TODAY.

STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL MAINTAIN

NEAR 70F DEWPOINTS ACROSS EASTERN SD/NEB AND PORTIONS OF MN/IA WHERE

AFTERNOON MLCAPE VALUES OF 3000+ J/KG ARE EXPECTED. INCREASING

WINDS ALOFT WILL RESULT IN A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE

STORMS BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON.

INITIAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED BY EARLY AFTERNOON

ALONG THE FRONT OVER EASTERN SD AND NORTHEAST NEB. FORECAST

SOUNDINGS IN THIS REGION SHOW SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER

VERTICAL SHEAR...WITH SHEAR VECTORS PERPENDICULAR TO THE FRONT

SUGGESTING DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY. SUFFICIENTLY LOW LCL

HEIGHTS FURTHER INDICATE THAT A FEW TORNADOES /POSSIBLY STRONG/ MAY

OCCUR DURING THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE EVENT. VERY LARGE HAIL IS

ALSO A POSSIBILITY WITH SUPERCELL STRUCTURES ACROSS CENTRAL/

SOUTHERN MN AND WESTERN/CENTRAL IA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WITH

TIME...LINEAR FORCING MECHANISMS WILL PROMOTE A MORE ORGANIZED

SQUALL LINE WITH WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MOST LIKELY

THREAT ACROSS EASTERN MN INTO WESTERN WI.

...MID MS AND TN VALLEYS...

A COUPLE OF REMNANT MCSS ARE TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG LOW LEVEL

INSTABILITY GRADIENT FROM SOUTHERN IL INTO MIDDLE TN. A VERY MOIST

AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS NEAR AND SOUTHWEST OF THIS AREA WILL HELP

STORMS INTENSIFY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...DESPITE RATHER WEAK WIND

FIELDS. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE

STORMS.

...TX PANHANDLE...

MOST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL

DEVELOP OVER EASTERN NM/WEST TX LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND SPREAD INTO

THE WESTERN TX PANHANDLE. GIVEN THE HOT/MOIST ENVIRONMENT...

STRONGER STORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS. AREAL COVERAGE AND

DURATION OF THREAT IS UNCERTAIN...SO WILL MAINTAIN ONLY LOW SEVERE

PROBABILITIES AT THIS TIME.

   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE TX BIG BEND/SWRN TX
   NWD ACROSS MUCH OF THE SRN AND CENTRAL PLAINS INTO SD AND FAR ERN
   WY...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
   INTO PART OF THE CAROLINAS...
   
   ...WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING DAMAGING WINDS...VERY
   LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY STRONG TORNADOES WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
   WESTERN HALF OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS LATER TODAY AND
   TONIGHT...
   
   ...CENTRAL/SRN PLAINS...
   STRONG UPPER LOW WILL SHIFT INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND THEN REMAIN
   STATIONARY OVERNIGHT.  AS THIS OCCURS...SURFACE DRY LINE WILL BECOME
   WELL ESTABLISHED OVER THE HIGH PLAINS AND LIKELY EXTEND FROM A LOW
   OVER FAR NERN CO SWD JUST EAST OF THE KS/CO BORDER INTO THE CENTRAL
   TX PANHANDLE AND FAR SWRN TX BY EARLY THIS EVENING.  THOUGH SMALL
   SCALE DETAILS ARE DIFFERENT...OPERATIONAL MODELS ALONG WITH SREF AND
   HIGH-RESOLUTION WRFS ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT IN WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM
   DEVELOPMENT OVER WRN PARTS OF THIS REGION LATER TODAY AND
   TONIGHT...WITH HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE WEATHER/SUPERCELLS. 
   IMPRESSIVE EML EVIDENT ON MORNING SOUNDINGS SUGGEST AIR MASS WILL
   BECOME VERY UNSTABLE OVER WRN HALF OF THE SRN PLAINS BY LATER
   TODAY...WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY DEVELOPING NWD INTO WRN NEB. 
   MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG IS FORECAST BY NEARLY ALL MODELS JUST
   EAST OF DRY LINE INTO WRN KS...WITH AXIS OF NEARLY 1000 J/KG MLCAPE
   NOSING NNWWD TOWARDS NWRN NEB.  LOW AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE
   SIGNIFICANT ALONG THE WRN PLAINS DESPITE STRONGEST MID LEVEL JET
   EXTENDING NNEWD BEHIND THE DRY LINE OVER ERN CO.  AS IS NORMALLY THE
   CASE...COMPLEXITIES REMAIN REGARDING EXACT LOCATION AND TIMING OF
   INITIATION AND IN OVERALL MODE OF STORM-SCALE ORGANIZATION.  CAPPING
   EVIDENT ON MORNING SOUNDINGS WILL AID IN NNWWD LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
   RETURN AND RETARD DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR MUCH OF THE
   DAY...ESPECIALLY WITH LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS THROUGH THE MORNING. 
   OVERNIGHT NAM AND GFS WERE BOTH SEVERAL DEGREES TOO COOL AT H85 AND
   FAIL TO ACCURATELY DEPICT CAP AT AMA ACCORDING TO THE 12Z SOUNDING. 
   HOWEVER...BOTH DID WELL AT DDC AND NAM-KF WAS ACCURATE AT AMA AND
   DDC.  
   
   STRONGEST ASCENT AND MODEST HEATING SHOULD SUPPORT INITIAL
   DEVELOPMENT INTO WRN NEB AND NWRN KS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG
   NOSE OF 90+ KT H5 JET.  MODELS SUGGESTING RAPID THUNDERSTORM
   DEVELOPMENT WITHIN BROAD AREA OF UPPER DIFFLUENCE JUST EAST OF THE
   DRY LINE INTO WRN KS AND THE TX PANHANDLE/WRN TX BETWEEN 21-00Z AS
   CAP WEAKENS.  HOW LONG ACTIVITY REMAINS IN THE FORM OF DISCRETE
   SUPERCELLS REMAINS HARD TO SAY ATTM...AS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY EVOLVE
   INTO LINEAR STRUCTURES AS IT EVOLVES ENEWD THROUGH THE EVENING. 
   HOWEVER...VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND SHEAR WILL ENHANCE THE
   POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT/DAMAGING HAIL AND STRONG TORNADOES INTO
   THE EARLY-MID EVENING WITH DISCRETE STORMS.  WIND DAMAGE THREAT
   SHOULD ALSO INCREASE AS LINEAR ORGANIZATION BECOME MORE PREDOMINANT
   THIS EVENING.  LACK OF EWD PROGRESSION WITH OVERALL SYSTEM AND
   NARROW INSTABILITY AXIS...SUGGEST STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE
   ACROSS CENTRAL SD/NE/KS/OK LATER THIS EVENING.
   
   NAM AND GFS ARE ALSO INDICATING SECONDARY LOBE OF ENERGY ROTATING
   AROUND LARGE UPPER LOW AND INTO THE NERN NM/SERN CO LATE TONIGHT. 
   THIS SHOULD SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER MCS...POSSIBLY
   SEVERE...OVER WRN TX INTO WRN OK/SWRN KS OVERNIGHT.  
   
   ...CENTRAL APPALACHIANS INTO NC...
   COLD FRONT NOW EXTENDING FROM SERN VA INTO CENTRAL KY WILL SAG SSWWD
   AS A BACK-DOOR FRONT INTO NC AND EXTEND ROUGHLY E-W FROM ERN NC INTO
   SWRN VA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS WILL OCCUR UNDER EJECTING
   SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED 35-45 KT MID LEVEL JET NOW OVER
   KY/TN WHICH WILL MOVE EWD ACROSS THIS REGION TODAY.  NAM-KF
   SOUNDINGS NEAR AND JUST NORTH OF THE FRONT INDICATE EFFECTIVE BULK
   SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND ORGANIZED CLUSTERS AS AIR MASS
   BECOMES MARGINALLY TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE.  LARGE HAIL WILL LIKELY
   BE PRIMARY SEVERE HAZARD WITH THESE STORMS AS THEY DEVELOP ESEWD
   INTO THE EVENING...THOUGH ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY A
   TORNADO OR TWO CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1128 AM CDT _____________

VALID ________ - ________

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT

ACROSS ERN AR...NRN LA...WRN TN AND NWRN MS...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE SRN GREAT LAKES SWD

INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY...

...SYNOPSIS...

CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE CNTRL PLAINS THIS MORNING IS FORECAST TO

GRADUALLY EVOLVE INTO AN OPEN WAVE AS ATTENDANT 90-100 KT MIDLEVEL

JET STREAK ROTATES THROUGH THE TROUGH BASE THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY

AND INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. AS THIS OCCURS...THE ZONE OF

STRONGEST HEIGHT FALLS/DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BE FOCUSED

ACROSS THE MIDWEST INTO UPPER GREAT LAKES. FARTHER S...STRONGLY

DIFFLUENT REGION BETWEEN CYCLONIC POLAR JET STREAK AND ANTICYCLONIC

SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK FROM NRN MEXICO INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO

SHOULD MAINTAIN A BROAD ZONE OF ASCENT OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND

MID SOUTH.

IN THE LOW-LEVELS...OCCLUDING SURFACE LOW OVER SWRN IA THIS MORNING

IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP NNEWD INTO SERN MN BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY

EVENING AND INTO NRN WI OR THE WRN UP OF MI BY SATURDAY MORNING.

ASSOCIATED...TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EWD THROUGH THE MS

VALLEY...LIKELY EXTENDING FROM MI SWWD INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY BY

THE END OF THE PERIOD.

...LOWER MS VALLEY...

12Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A MOIST PRE-FRONTAL AIR MASS

/DEWPOINTS OF 65-70F/ BENEATH A PLUME OF STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES

/EML/ ORIGINATING OVER THE SRN PLATEAU REGION. VISIBLE SATELLITE

IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS SHOULD ALLOW FOR

RELATIVELY STRONG DIABATIC HEATING WITH AIR MASS BECOMING MODERATELY

UNSTABLE BY AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPES APPROACHING 1500-2500 J/KG.

NOCTURNAL...QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM /QLCS/ REMAINS CLOSELY

TIED TO SYNOPTIC-SCALE COLD FRONT FROM AR SWWD INTO ERN TX. THIS

SYSTEM WILL LIKELY REINTENSIFY TODAY AS FRONT PROGRESSES EWD AND

ENCOUNTERS MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS. ADDITIONAL...MORE DISCRETE

STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OR

GRAVITY WAVE WHICH HAS PROPAGATED AHEAD OF QLCS...EXTENDING FROM THE

MS DELTA REGION SWWD INTO NERN LA AS OF 1530Z.

AREA VWPS/PROFILERS AND LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT

LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL REMAIN RATHER STRONG ACROSS WARM SECTOR /ALONG

SRN EXTENSION OF 40-50 KT LLJ/ WITH 0-1 KM SRH VALUES OF 200-350

M2/S2. THIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH 40-50 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR

AND THE MODERATE INSTABILITY SHOULD SUPPORT INTENSE BOWING AND

SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES /A FEW

POSSIBLY STRONG/...CORRIDORS OF DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.

...MIDDLE/UPPER MS VALLEY INTO THE OH VALLEY...

NRN EXTENSION OF NOCTURNAL QLCS MENTIONED ABOVE HAS PROGRESSED WELL

E OF SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO WRN KY/SRN IL WITH AN ADDITIONAL BAND

OF TSTMS INTENSIFYING FROM HOP NWD INTO WRN IND AS OF 1530Z. MODEL

GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT 45-55 KT LLJ WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP NEWD INTO

THE OH VALLEY AND SRN GREAT LAKES TODAY: 1) SUPPORTING BOUNDARY

LAYER MOISTENING/DESTABILIZATION...AND 2) RESULTING IN INCREASINGLY

STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES. AS SUCH...EXPECT ONGOING STORMS TO

INTENSIFY WHILE PROGRESSING EWD ACROSS THE OH VALLEY WITH EMBEDDED

SUPERCELLS AND BOWING/LEWP STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF A FEW

TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.

ADDITIONAL TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER TODAY FROM VICINITY OF

OCCLUDING SURFACE LOW SWD ALONG TRAILING COLD FRONT FROM ERN IA/SRN

WI SWD ACROSS ERN MO AND IL. CONSIDERABLE MID/HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDINESS

SHOULD TEND TO RESTRICT DAYTIME HEATING...THOUGH THE COLD MIDLEVEL

TEMPERATURES ASSOCIATED WITH CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL SUPPORT WEAK TO

POTENTIALLY MODERATE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF FRONT THIS AFTERNOON.

SHOULD SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION OCCUR...THE STRONGLY BACKED

SURFACE WINDS IN ADVANCE OF SURFACE LOW SUGGEST THAT A CORRIDOR OF

LOW-TOPPED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND PERHAPS A FEW

TORNADOES. FOR ADDITIONAL NEAR TERM GUIDANCE...PLEASE SEE ___ ___.

   ACROSS THE NRN AND CENTRAL PLAINS  AND THE UPPER MS VALLEY...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS IN DELMARVA...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO WRN ND WILL SHIFT EWD INTO NRN
   MN TONIGHT. SURFACE LOW OVER WRN SD AND ASSOCIATED N-S COLD FRONT IS
   FORECAST TO MOVE EWD INTO THE ERN DAKOTAS/CENTRAL NEB BY EARLY
   EVENING..AND THEN INTO MN/WRN IA TONIGHT. SURFACE LOW MOVING SHOULD
   MAINTAIN CURRENT POSITION OF WARM FRONT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FROM
   EAST CENTRAL SD ESEWD ACROSS FAR SRN MN TO NEAR THE IL/WI BORDER.
   CONVERGENCE ALONG WARM FRONT SHOULD BE ENHANCED BY STRONG HEATING
   SOUTH AND CLOUDS/COOLER TEMPERATURES NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. OTHER
   THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ALONG EWD EXTENSION OF FRONT FROM
   THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES.
   
   ...NRN PLNS INTO UPR MS VLY...
   WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND EVENT AND POSSIBLY STRONG TORNADOES ARE
   POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
   MODERATE RISK AREA. LARGE AREA OF CLOUDS ACROSS MOST OF THE DAKOTAS
   WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HEATING ACROSS THIS AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
   HOWEVER...STRONG FORCING HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN ELEVATED SEVERE
   THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WRN ND IN ASSOCIATION WITH LARGE SCALE FORCING.
   DESPITE STABLE BOUNDARY...EFFECTIVE SHEAR NEAR 50 KT AND MUCAPES IN
   EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG...AS OBSERVED ON BIS MORNING SOUNDING...WILL BE
   FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS TO MOVE/DEVELOP SEWD ALONG INSTABILITY AXIS
   TOWARD SERN ND/NRN SD. DESPITE RELATIVELY STABLE BOUNDARY
   LAYER...THE DEGREE OF SHEAR/INSTABILITY WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE
   HAIL/WINDS.
   
   OTHER ELEVATED STORMS ARE ALSO LOCATED ACROSS SERN MN/WRN WI IN 
   ASSOCIATION WITH WARM ADVECTION NORTH OF WARM FRONT. DEEP LAYER
   SHEAR AND STRONG INSTABILITY ALSO FAVOR SEVERE HAIL/WINDS WITH THESE
   STORMS AS THEY GRADUALLY MOVE/DEVELOP SEWD.
   
   SURFACE BASED STORMS ARE MOST LIKELY TO DEVELOP NEAR THE WARM FRONT
   ACROSS ERN SD/SWRN MN WHERE STRONG HEATING SHOULD RESULT IN AN
   EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH MLCAPES IN EXCESS OF 4000 J/KG.
   WARM 700 MB TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 14-16C SHOULD KEEP THIS AREA CAPPED
   MOST OF THE DAY...THOUGH THIS LAYER WILL COOL AS LARGE SCALE FORCING
   SPREADS INTO THE REGION. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR STORMS TO FIRST
   DEVELOP N OF THE BOUNDARY AS THE CAP SHOULD ERODE MORE RAPIDLY NORTH
   OF THE BOUNDARY. THOUGH THESE STORMS WOULD BE SLIGHTLY
   ELEVATED...THE STORMS MAY QUICKLY EVOLVE INTO A 
   LINE/BOW AND THEN MOVE ESEWD. WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE WOULD BE
   POSSIBLE GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR.
   EVENTUALLY...SURFACE BASED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE
   WARM FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE EXTREME INSTABILITY AND 60 KT
   DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL RESULT IN THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELLS.
   ANY DISCRETE SUPERCELLS THAT CAN BE MAINTAINED NEAR THE WARM FRONT
   WILL INGEST A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WITH 25-30 KT 1 KM SHEAR...WHICH
   WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG TORNADOES LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
   AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS THIS EVENING ...THE SUPERCELLS
   SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A LINE/BOW AND MOVE ESEWD ALONG WARM FRONT ACROSS
   SRN MN AND INTO WI...WITH THE MAIN THREAT BECOMING DAMAGING WIND
   GUSTS...WITH SOME POSSIBLY EXTREME.
   
   ...NEB...
   HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ALONG SRN EXTENSION OF
   COLD FRONT FROM SERN SD SWWD ACROSS NEB LATE THIS AFTERNOON. DEEP
   LAYER SHEAR AROUND 30 KT AND DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS NEAR 50F WOULD
   SUPPORT STRONG WIND GUSTS.
   
   ...DELMARVA...
   ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WAS PREVALENT ACROSS THE REGION AND SHOULD RESULT
   IN AT LEAST MODERATE INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN WEAK FRONTAL
   BOUNDARY AND WEAK IMPULSES MOVING EWD THROUGH THE AREA...A FEW
   STRONG STORMS WITH MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
   AFTERNOON.

   DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK     NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK   0608 AM CDT SAT _____________      VALID ________ - ________      (Took out the outlook coordinates)   ...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER   PARTS OF SOUTHEAST NEB...SOUTHWEST IA...EASTERN KS...AND WESTERN   MO...      ...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM SOUTHERN OK NORTHWARD INTO   FAR SOUTHERN MN...      ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM PARTS OF TX INTO MN/WI...      ...OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES IS FORECAST TODAY   OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS...      MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS LARGE UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER THE   NORTHERN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS.  TWO WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROUGHS   ARE ROTATING THROUGH THIS REGION.  THE FIRST TROUGH IS NOW OVER   NORTHWEST MO AND WILL LIFT INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY TODAY.  THE   SECOND TROUGH WILL ROTATE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY LATE   AFTERNOON...SETTING THE STAGE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER   EPISODE THIS EVENING.      ...ERN NEB/IA/ERN KS/MO...   LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A VERY MOIST LOW LEVEL AIRMASS IN   PLACE THIS MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF OK/TX AND WESTERN AR...WITH   DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS   ARE ONGOING OVER PARTS OF KS/MO...BUT THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD LIFT   STEADILY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY AS LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH DEPARTS   REGION.  STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS AT AND ABOVE THE SURFACE   WILL HELP TRANSPORT MARITIME AIR MASS NORTHWARD TODAY...WITH HIGH   THETA-E AIR EXPECTED INTO MUCH OF EASTERN NEB AND IA BY MID   AFTERNOON.  VERY STRONG DIURNAL HEATING IS ALSO EXPECTED THROUGHOUT   THIS REGION AFTER MORNING CLOUDS ERODE...RESULTING IN AN EXTREMELY   UNSTABLE AIRMASS /MLCAPE VALUES OF 3000-4000 J/KG POSSIBLE/.    SHORTWAVE RIDGING IN WAKE OF LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PROVIDE A   RATHER STRONG CAPPING INVERSION ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR THROUGH MID   AFTERNOON...SUPPRESSING DEEP CONVECTION.      AS PRIMARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES THE WARM SECTOR BY LATE   AFTERNOON...CAP IS EXPECTED TO ERODE ALONG SURFACE DRYLINE EXTENDING   FROM SOUTHERN NEB INTO EAST-CENTRAL KS.  EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM   DEVELOPMENT IS FORECAST IN THIS AREA.  STRENGTHENING WIND FIELDS AT   ALL LEVELS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON...COUPLED WITH EXTREME   INSTABILITY...WILL PROMOTE THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF SUPERCELL   THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES.  STORMS ARE   EXPECTED TO TRACK EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO PARTS OF WESTERN IA AND   WESTERN MO DURING THE EVENING WITH A CONTINUED THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT   SEVERE.  FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE HIGH RISK AREA SHOW EFFECTIVE   DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES OF 40-50 KNOTS...AND EFFECTIVE HELICITY   VALUES OF 200-300 M2/S2 DURING THE EVENING AS LOW LEVEL WINDS BACK   AND STRENGTHEN IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH.  COMBINATION   OF VERY FAVORABLE VERTICAL SHEAR PARAMETERS...LOW LCL HEIGHTS...RICH   LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND EXTREME INSTABILITY INDICATE THE THREAT OF   STRONG TORNADOES THIS EVENING.      ...OK/TX...   SURFACE DRYLINE IS FORECAST TO EXTEND FROM NORTH CENTRAL OK INTO   CENTRAL TX BY LATE AFTERNOON.  FULL SUNSHINE...AMPLE MOISTURE...AND   STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL YIELD A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALONG   AND EAST OF DRYLINE THIS AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPE VALUES OVER 3000   J/KG.  PRIMARY DYNAMIC FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH CENTRAL PLAINS TROUGH   WILL BE FROM SOUTHERN KS NORTHWARD.  HOWEVER...MODEL FORECAST   SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE   REACHED ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS PARTS OF TX/OK...WITH THE   DEVELOPMENT OF WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. VERTICAL SHEAR   PROFILES IN THIS REGION WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF VERY   LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. TORNADOES ALSO APPEAR   POSSIBLE...MAINLY ALONG OK PORTION OF DRYLINE...WHERE STRONG WIND   FIELDS WILL BE PRESENT.  STORMS IN THIS REGION MAY DIMINISH BY LATE   EVENING DUE TO LACK OF DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT.      ...CENTRAL NEB/EASTERN SD/MN...   MAIN SURFACE LOW WILL LIKELY BE OVER WESTERN NEB THROUGH LATE   AFTERNOON...WITH BACKED LOW LEVEL WINDS PROGD ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL   NEB INTO SOUTHEAST SD. PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT SCATTERED   THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM THIS AFTERNOON IN THIS REGION. SUFFICIENT   INSTABILITY AND ENHANCED DEEP LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR WILL PROMOTE A   RISK OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN STRONGER CELLS.  ACTIVITY   MAY ALSO SPREAD INTO PARTS OF MN THIS EVENING.      ..HART/BANACOS.. __________
