DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0657 AM CST ______________

VALID ________ - _________

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE ERN GULF CST REGION

INTO THE ERN CAROLINAS...

...SYNOPSIS...

CLOSED LOW NOW OVER THE MO OZARKS SHOULD CONTINUE ACCELERATING NE

THROUGH THE PERIOD...REACHING LWR MI BY EVENING AND WRN QUEBEC BY

12Z MONDAY. THE SYSTEM SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT IS ABSORBED INTO LARGER

SCALE TROUGH THAT WILL AMPLIFY SE INTO THE MS VLY. AS THIS

OCCURS...SW TO WSWLY MID/UPR LEVEL FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE

CNTRL/ERN GULF CST REGION...WITH 500 MB SPEEDS INCREASING TO AOA 70

KTS IN AL/GA.

AT THE SFC...LOW NOW OVER MO SHOULD LIFT NE INTO MI BY EVENING AS

SHALLOW COLD FRONT OVER MO/KS/OK CONTINUES E/SE ACROSS IL/AR AND TX.

FARTHER E...DEEPER WIND SHIFT/COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW

WILL PROGRESS E ACROSS THE TN VLY...REACHING ERN TN/WRN GA AND THE

WRN FL PANHANDLE EARLY TONIGHT. THE FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE E TO THE

MID/S ATLANTIC CSTL PLN BY 12Z MONDAY AS WARM FRONT NOW DEVELOPING

ALONG THE CAROLINA CST LIFTS RAPIDLY N INTO NJ/SRN NEW ENGLAND.

...AL/GA/FL PANHANDLE/TN VLY...

REMNANTS OF OVERNIGHT BROKEN SQLN WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS EXPECTED

TO CONTINUE E INTO AL...GA AND THE FL PANHANDLE LATER TODAY...AHEAD

OF DEEP WIND-SHIFT/COLD FRONT TRAILING S FROM MID MS VLY LOW.

CURRENT SFC OBSERVATIONS OVER THE NERN GULF...AND CONFIGURATION OF

EXISTING STORMS UPSTREAM OVER LA/MS...SUGGEST THAT SFC DEWPOINTS

SHOULD RISE INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S AT LEAST AS FAR N AS THE SEM/BHM

AREA BY EARLY AFTN. COUPLED WITH MODEST HEATING...THIS SHOULD YIELD

SBCAPE OF 500-1500 J/KG...DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER.

AS DEEP WIND FIELD STRENGTHENS ON PERIPHERY OF AMPLIFYING UPR

TROUGH...AND DEGREE OF LOW-LEVEL LINEAR FORCING REMAINS RATHER

MODEST...SETUP SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINED

SUPERCELLS. GIVEN INCREASING MOISTURE INFLOW AND LONG/HOOKED

HODOGRAPHS /0-1 KM SRH AOA 350 M2 PER S2/... A THREAT WILL EXIST FOR

A FEW STRONG TORNADOES IN ADDITION TO DAMAGING WIND/HAIL. THE

GREATEST TORNADO THREAT SHOULD EXIST THIS AFTN OVER SRN/CNTRL AL AND

THE FL PANHANDLE...WHERE THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL HEATING IS EXPECTED

ALONG AXIS OF MAXIMUM MOISTURE INFLOW. THE SVR THREAT LIKELY WILL

SPREAD INTO GA /ESPECIALLY SRN AND WRN SECTIONS/ AND PERHAPS WRN SC

LATER TODAY/TONIGHT.

IN THE WAKE OF THE ABOVE STORMS...CONFLUENT CYCLONIC FLOW AND

HEATING BENEATH FRINGE OF AMPLIFYING UPR TROUGH MAY YIELD A FEW LATE

AFTN STORMS WITH HAIL OVER NRN AL/E TN.

...ERN CAROLINAS/SE VA...

SFC DEWPOINTS SHOULD RISE INTO THE UPR 50S AND 60S TONIGHT AND EARLY

MONDAY FROM THE ERN CAROLINAS NWD INTO MD/DE AS PREVIOUSLY-

MENTIONED WARM FRONT SWEEPS N AHEAD OF TN VLY COLD FRONT.

COMBINATION OF FRONTAL/PRE-FRONTAL UPLIFT ALONG COLD FRONT...AND

INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AMPLIFYING TROUGH TO

THE WEST...COULD LEAD TO SCTD TSTM DEVELOPMENT ALONG PRE-FRONTAL

CONFLUENCE BANDS AND/OR INTENSIFICATION OF FRONTAL CONVECTION

SPREADING E FROM THE APPALACHIANS. GIVEN EXPECTED 50 KT DEEP SWLY

SHEAR...AND 60 KT SSWLY LLJ...RESULTING HODOGRAPHS WILL SUPPORT

SUPERCELLS IF SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS DO INDEED FORM. SUCH ACTIVITY

COULD POSE A THREAT FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...MARGINALLY

SVR HAIL AND TORNADOES...DESPITE UNFAVORABLE TIME OF DAY.

...MID MS VLY...

AREA OF ENHANCED ASCENT/MID LEVEL COLD ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH

EJECTING UPR LOW WILL OVERSPREAD PARTS OF IL/IND AND SRN LWR MI THIS

AFTN/EARLY TONIGHT. COUPLED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MODEST SFC

HEATING IN THE SYSTEM'S DRY SLOT...SETUP MAY LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT

OF LOW-TOPPED CONVECTION/POSSIBLE STORMS ALONG AFOREMENTIONED COLD

FRONT IN IL. ATTM...HOWEVER...IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT MOST OF THE

ACTIVITY WILL SUFFICIENTLY DEEPEN TO POSE A THREAT FOR SUSTAINED

STORMS AND/OR HAIL.

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE UPPER OH/TN VLYS INTO THE CNTRL-NRN HIGH PLAINS...

...SYNOPSIS...

VIGOROUS MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO NRN MN ATTM IS EXPECTED TO DIG SEWD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND UPPER MIDWEST THROUGH TONIGHT. ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP RAPIDLY SEWD...REACHING THE UPPER OH VLY TO MID MS VLY BY EARLY WEDNESDAY. TAIL END OF THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWER...AND EXTEND NWWD INTO THE NRN HIGH PLAINS.

UPPER ANTICYCLONE CENTERED VCNTY CO WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH MIDLEVEL DISTURBANCES ROTATING ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH INTO THE PAC NW. INVERTED TROUGH/CLOSED LOW NEAR THE TX BIG BEND WILL MOVE WWD INTO CHIHUAHUA...SONORA AND SRN AZ BY TONIGHT.

...UPPER MS VLY SEWD TO THE OH/TN VLYS...

RATHER ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE REGION WITH PARTICULARLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND GIANT HAIL ACROSS THE MDT RISK AREA.

AS H5 HEIGHT FALLS OF 60-90 METERS BEGINS TO ACCELERATE SEWD... TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO INITIATE ACROSS THE UPPER MS VLY AND UPPER GREAT LAKES LATE THIS MORNING. AIR MASS DOWNSTREAM WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS 70-75F SURFACE DEW POINTS COINCIDE WITH ERN EDGE OF STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES. THUS... TSTMS ARE APT TO RAPIDLY ORGANIZE AND BECOME SEVERE. WHILE HODOGRAPHS ARE MORE INDICATIVE OF BOW ECHOS AS THE FLOW BECOMES NWLY THROUGH A DEEP LAYER...SUFFICIENT VERTICAL SHEAR WILL EXIST FOR EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS. INITIAL TSTMS MAY PRODUCE HAILSTONES GREATER THAN 2 INCHES...PRIMARILY FROM ERN IA/SRN WI INTO CNTRL/ NRN IL. ADDITIONALLY...A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY ALONG SWRN PARTS OF THE MDT RISK WHERE LOW LEVEL SRH WILL BE HIGHER AND SMALLER-SCALE ROTATING COMMA HEADS.

ACTIVITY IS LIKELY TO CONGEAL QUICKLY INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS WITH WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE EXPECTED IN A SWATH FROM SRN WI...ERN IA ESEWD ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND OH VLY OVERNIGHT. 12Z SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE MDT RISK AREA SHOW A LARGE DEGREE OF DRY AIR IN THE CONVECTIVE GENERATING LAYER AND THIS MAY AUGMENT WIND PRODUCTION. LEADING EDGE OF THE MCS SHOULD APPROACH THE UPPER OH VLY BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

FARTHER SW...12Z OMAHA SOUNDING EXHIBITED A VERY WARM LAYER H85-H7 WITH H7 TEMPERATURE OF 14C. THIS CAP/WARM LAYER MAY INHIBIT DEEP MOIST CONVECTION FROM FORMING ALONG THE SWD MOVING COLD FRONT ACROSS MO AND WRN IA. BUT...GIVEN A STORM...POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. WILL MAINTAIN A CONDITIONAL SLIGHT RISK.

...NRN HIGH PLAINS INTO SWRN SD AND SWRN NEB...

A WEAK MIDLEVEL IMPULSE WAS NOTED ON VAPOR IMAGERY VCNTY NRN/CNTRL UT AND IS EXPECTED TO ROTATE NEWD THEN EWD THROUGH WY AND INTO NEB BY LATE TONIGHT. TSTMS ARE APT TO INCREASE ON THE WY/MT HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS TONIGHT. SELY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW SHOULD MAINTAIN UPPER 40S-LOWER 50S DEW POINTS TODAY BENEATH 8.5 C/KM MID-TROPOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES... CONTRIBUTING TO 1000-1500 J/KG MLCAPES FROM NEB PNHDL/ERN WY/SWRN SD AND NWWD TO PARTS OF CNTRL/SRN MT. REGION WILL LIE ALONG SRN PERIPHERY OF THE STRONGER NWLY FLOW AND SUFFICIENT VERTICAL SHEAR WILL EXIST FOR A FEW STORMS TO GIVE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LLJ DEVELOPMENT DURING THE EVENING MAY SUSTAIN ONE OR MORE TSTM CLUSTERS INTO SRN SD OR NEB OVERNIGHT...THOUGH THE SEVERE THREAT MAY TREND TOWARD ISOLD LARGE HAILSTONES GIVEN MORE ELEVATED NATURE TO THE STORMS. ...DESERT SW... DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE MAGNITUDE OF POSSIBLE GULF SURGE THIS MORNING...THOUGH NAME INSTRUMENT PLATFORMS IN/NEAR THE GULF OF CA DO SHOW AN INCREASE IN PWAT AND SURFACE PRESSURE SINCE 06Z. ANY SURGE WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NWD INTO SRN AZ INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY... MOISTENING THE BOUNDARY LAYER. EARLY MORNING VSBL IMAGERY SUGGESTS THAT AIR MASS WILL DESTABILIZE RAPIDLY TODAY AND INCREASING UPPER DIVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE TX BIG BEND INVERTED TROUGH/UPPER LOW WILL ENCOURAGE TSTMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. TSTMS MAY CLUSTER AND PROPAGATE INTO THE VLYS OF SCNTRL AZ THIS EVENING. GIVEN INVERTED-V LOW LEVEL THERMODYNAMIC STRUCTURES...ISOLD DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MIDLEVEL ELY FLOW IS FORECAST TO BE AOB 20 KTS...BUT IF HIGHER SPEEDS EXIST ON N SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW LATER TODAY...POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER COVERAGE WIND DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.

MLB 50 WNW PBI 45 ENE FMY 35 E SRQ 55 NNE PIE 25 NW GNV 35 SSE VLD 25 W TLH 10 W PFN.

...SYNOPSIS... A BROAD AREA OF CYCLONIC MID AND UPPER-LEVEL FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE CONUS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH...EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER SWRN CO/WRN NM IS FORECAST TO EJECT NEWD ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS AND INTO THE MID MS VALLEY BY THIS EVENING. AN ASSOCIATED 60-70KT MID-LEVEL JET MAX WILL ALSO TRANSLATE NEWD ACROSS OK INTO MO AND SRN IL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING HOURS WHILE A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL JET NOSES EWD ACROSS TX INTO OK DURING THE LAST HALF OF THE PERIOD.

AT THE SURFACE...LOW INVOF WRN OK AT 12Z WILL RAPIDLY MIGRATE NEWD ACROSS NERN KS AND INTO W-CNTRL MO BY xxxxx AND THEN INTO CNTRL IL BY xxxxxx . QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM WRN OK LOW NEWD INTO WRN NY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WILL LIFT NWD ACROSS CNTRL PLAINS/MID MS VALLEY AS WAA REGIME INCREASES AHEAD OF DEVELOPING CYCLONE. ATTENDANT DRYLINE WILL BEGIN TO MIX EWD ACROSS CNTRL/SRN LOW PLAINS BEFORE BEING OVERTAKEN BY COLD FRONT. MEANWHILE...ERN END OF BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EWD ACROSS NY/NEW ENGLAND BEFORE MOVING OFFSHORE BY THIS EVENING.

...ERN KS/ERN OK/MO/AR... ANOTHER POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S WILL BEGIN TO SURGE NWD INTO ERN KS AND MO THROUGH THE DAY AHEAD OF APPROACHING SURFACE LOW AND DRYLINE/COLD FRONT. THIS RICH MOISTURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES /7-8 C/KM/ WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A VERY TO EXTREMELY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR FROM SRN MO SWD THROUGH ERN OK/AR WITH MLCAPES APPROACHING 3000-5000 J/KG. FARTHER N ACROSS CNTRL MO MLCAPES SHOULD INCREASE TO 1500 TO 2500 J/KG.

TSTMS MAY INITIATE RATHER EARLY IN THE DAY ACROSS CNTRL KS ALONG AND BEHIND SURFACE COLD FRONT AS FORCING FOR LARGE-SCALE ASCENT INCREASES AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY THEN OCCUR SWD ALONG THE DRYLINE BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON FROM SERN KS/SWRN MO SWD INTO ERN OK. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND 50-55KTS OF 0-6KM AGL SHEAR... SUPERCELLS APPEAR LIKELY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL. THE GREATEST TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL EXIST ACROSS NERN OK/NWRN AR INTO SWRN/CNTRL MO WHERE BACKED LOW-LEVEL WINDS IMMEDIATELY E AND NE OF SURFACE LOW WILL RESULT IN 0-1KM SRH VALUES OF 150-300 M2/S2. A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS CORRIDOR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING TIMEFRAME.

FARTHER S ALONG THE DRYLINE OVER SERN OK INTO N/NERN TX... TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S AND WEAK FORCING FOR LARGE-SCALE ASCENT SHOULD WEAKEN CAP SUFFICIENTLY FOR ISOLATED TSTM DEVELOPMENT. DEEP-LAYER SHEAR OF 35-45KTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

TSTMS WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO ONE OR TWO MCS/S LATER THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT AND MOVE EWD INTO THE OH/TN VALLEYS. THE GREATEST THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AT THIS TIME WILL BE FROM ERN MO INTO IL AHEAD OF 60-70KT MID-LEVEL JET MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.

...SYNOPSIS...

STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EWD FROM THE GREAT

LAKES EASTWARD INTO NY/SRN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. SURFACE COLD FRONT

WILL PUSH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY MID/ATLANTIC STATES AS STRONG

PRESSURE RISES SWEEP EASTWARD...BUT FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWER SEWD

THE AREA.

...WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE EXPECTED THIS

AFTERNOON/EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE OHIO/TN

VALLEYS...

...OH AND TN VALLEYS AND PA...

MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS SHOULD SUPPORT

A LINE OF SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP AND MOVE EWD ACROSS THE OH AND

TN VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON. THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL BE STRONGER

FROM OH EWD INTO PA AND 70-80 KT MID LEVEL WINDS WOULD SUPPORT MORE

WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE AND SOME GUSTS GREATER THAN 80 MPH. STORMS

ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INITIALLY AS DISCRETE STORMS FROM OH SWWD

INTO KY. STRONG 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 50-60 KT AND 0-1 KM SRH HELICITY

NEAR 300 M2/S2 WOULD ALSO SUPPORT SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES.

...NY SWD INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES...

CLOUDS HAVE HELD DOWN TEMPERATURES THUS FAR THIS MORNING...BUT

RAPID CLEARING WILL OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON. SURFACE LOW IS

FORECAST TO TRACK THROUGH SRN NY INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND THIS EVENING.

EXPECT A LINE OF STORMS TO MOVE ALONG TRAILING COLD FRONT WITH A

THREAT OF MAINLY WIND DAMAGE.

...SERN AR EWD INTO NRN AL...

AIR MASS WILL BE STRONGLY UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPES OVER 3000 J/KG. 30

KT DEEP LAYERED SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE...BUT FORCING

WILL BE WEAK AND MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES MAY WARM SLIGHTLY.

HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL THERMODYNAMICS WILL SUPPORT LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING

WINDS WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
