    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE CAROLINAS AND MID-ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Marginally severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday from parts
    of the central Gulf Coast northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic. Wind
    gusts and hail will be the primary hazards.

    ...Central Gulf Coast/Southern Georgia...
    A shortwave trough will move to the Eastern Seaboard on Wednesday as
    another shortwave trough moves across the Ohio and Tennessee
    Valleys. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward
    across the central Gulf Coast States. Thunderstorms may be ongoing
    along parts of the front at the start of the period. Convective
    coverage is expected to expand during the morning as surface
    temperatures warm. By midday, a line of strong thunderstorms is
    forecast along and just ahead of the front from far southeast
    Louisiana east-northeastward into southwest Georgia. Steep low-level
    lapse rates and veered low-level flow of about 30 kt will aid a
    marginal wind damage threat. The threat should continue through the
    afternoon as the line moves slowly south-southeastward across the
    central Gulf Coast and southern Georgia. Hail will also be possible
    with the stronger cells.

    ...Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic...
    A shortwave trough will move across the southern and central
    Appalachians during the morning on Wednesday. Thunderstorm
    development may take place near a surface trough located from the
    Mid-Atlantic southward into eastern North Carolina. Although
    instability will be weak, 850 mb winds of 35 to 45 kt along with
    steep low-level lapse rates may be enough for a marginal wind damage
    threat. A second shortwave trough will move into the region during
    the mid to late afternoon. An associated cold front will advance
    southeastward into the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas. Thunderstorm
    development will be possible near the front during the mid to late
    afternoon. Instability will again be weak but low-level lapse rates
    should be steep enough for a marginal wind damage threat. Hail may
    also occur with the stronger thunderstorms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF FLORIDA...AND PARTS OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY VICINITY...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong thunderstorms are expected across parts of northern Florida
    southward along the Atlantic coast of the Peninsula, as well as
    across parts of the middle Mississippi Valley vicinity on Thursday.
    Hail and strong gusts will be the main hazards with these storms.

    ...Florida...

    A cold front will sag southward from southern GA into central FL
    during the forecast period. A seasonally moist airmass, with
    dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s will be in place across FL,
    and will support moderate to strong destabilization with MLCAPE
    values around 1500-2500 J/kg forecast. Deep layer west/southwesterly
    flow will be relatively weak, especially with southward extent
    across the Peninsula, and little frontal convergence is expected
    given veered low level winds. Nevertheless, scattered thunderstorms
    are expected as the upper trough pivots eastward through the period.
    The combination of moderate/strong instability and high PW values
    could result in strong gusts with briefly organized cells, though
    weak shear and poor mid-level lapse rates should limit greater
    severe potential.

    ...Middle Mississippi Valley vicinity...

    A shortwave impulse rotating through a larger-scale trough over the
    eastern U.S. will aid in thunderstorm development in northwesterly
    mid/upper flow across the region. At the surface, boundary layer
    moisture will remain modest, with dewpoints generally in the upper
    40s to low 50s. Nevertheless, weak instability (around 500-750 J/kg
    MLCAPE) is forecast as a plume of steep midlevel lapse rates (7-8
    C/km) overspreads the region. Moderate midlevel flow with 30-40 kt northwesterly winds between 850-700 mb and effective shear around
    25-30 kt should allow for a few organized cells. Elongated
    hodographs and inverted-v low level thermodynamic profiles below
    around 850 mb will further support clusters of storms capable of
    strong gusts and hail ahead of a southeastward-advancing cold front
    during the afternoon/evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS
    OF THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND NORTHERN PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe storms are likely Thursday afternoon and evening
    over portions of the northern High Plains and northern Plains. All
    severe hazards are possible, including very large hail, 70+ mph
    wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes.

    ...Synopsis...
    Upper ridging is forecast to be in place from northern Mexico north-northeastward across the Great Plains early Thursday morning.
    This upper ridging is expected to then dampen throughout the day as
    a strong shortwave trough, initially over the western Great Basin,
    progresses northeastward through the northern/central Rockies and
    eventually through the northern High Plains. This shortwave will
    likely become increasingly negatively tilted throughout this
    progression while the stronger mid-level flow attendant to the
    system also spreading into the northern High Plains/northern Plains.
    Strong buoyancy will exist within the air mass over the northern
    High Plains/northern Plains ahead of this shortwave, contributing to
    the risk for severe thunderstorms (discussed in more detail below).

    Farther east, broad but weak upper troughing will likely persist as
    a weak embedded upper low drifts slowly eastward across the TN and
    middle OH Valleys. The air mass in vicinity and downstream of this
    upper low will be moist and at least marginally unstable,
    contributing to the potential for numerous thunderstorms across much
    of the OH and TV Valleys, northern portions of the Southeast, and
    much of the Mid-Atlantic.

    Elsewhere, an unstable air mass may interact with an east-west
    oriented boundary across MN and WI east of the upper ridge, with a
    few strong storms possible.

    ...Northern High Plains into the Northern/Central Plains...
    Ample low-level moisture is expected to be in place early Thursday
    morning ahead of the shortwave trough (and any associated surface
    features) mentioned in the synopsis. Deep mixing is anticipated
    throughout the day, but persistent and strong low-level moisture
    advection should keep dewpoints in the 60s. Less mixing along the
    warm front could lead to a corridor of upper 60s/low 70s dewpoints
    central ND into far northeast MT by Thursday afternoon.

    Surface low is forecast to deepen over southeast MT. Low-level
    convergence along the lee trough extending southward from this low
    as well as near the low itself is expected to result in convective
    initiation once the air mass destabilizes during the late afternoon. Large-scale ascent will also be increasing during this time, aiding
    this convective initiation. The deeply mixed, strongly unstable, and
    moderately sheared environment will support initial supercells
    capable of all severe hazards, including giant hail and strong wind
    gusts. Backed low-level winds in vicinity of the surface low may
    result in a locally greater tornado threat near the MT/ND/SD border intersection.

    Upscale growth into one or more convective lines is anticipated soon
    after the initially discrete mode. The downstream air mass across
    the northern and central Plains will be very supportive of continued
    eastward progression, with severe wind gusts possible throughout the
    evening across much of ND, SD, and NE.

    ...East-Central MN into Northern WI and western Upper MI...
    Thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon along a
    weak surface boundary extended across the region. Mid to upper 60s F
    dewpoints will result in ample instability, which may support a few
    strong updrafts during near peak heating. Given the abundant
    moisture in place, a few water-loaded downbursts could occur with
    the strongest storms.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHWEST
    IOWA ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN KANSAS AND INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA....

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur Friday from southwest Iowa
    across much of eastern Kansas and into northern Oklahoma.

    ...Central/Southern Plains...
    Upper ridging is forecast to extend from northern Mexico
    northeastward through the Upper Midwest early Friday morning. A
    compact, negatively titled shortwave trough will move across ND into
    southern Manitoba along the northwestern periphery of the upper
    ridging, contributing to some modest dampening. This shortwave is
    expected to force the development of a well-organized convective
    line over the northern Plains late Thursday evening.

    This line is then forecast to progress eastward/southeastward
    overnight. Its location early Friday morning will depend on the
    speed of its forward progression overnight Thursday, which is tied
    to numerous low-predictability factors regulating MCS maintenance
    (including rear-inflow jet strength and cold pool/vertical shear
    balance). Given this low predictability, 5-percent severe
    probabilities will be maintained and expanded for this outlook.
    However, the very moist and unstable air mass expected to be in
    place ahead of the outflow will support strong updrafts, and the
    potential for large hail and damaging wind gusts. As such, upgrades
    will likely be needed in future outlooks once the location of the
    storm outflow becomes more certain.

    ...Middle/Upper OH and TN Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic and
    Southeast...
    A broad and relatively weak shortwave trough is also expected to
    move from the middle OH Valley eastward/southeastward into the
    Mid-Atlantic. The air mass in the vicinity and downstream of this
    shortwave will be very moist and modestly buoyancy, resulting
    widespread thunderstorm development across from the middle/upper OH
    and TN Valleys into the Mid-Atlantic and much of the Southeast. Weak
    shear will likely preclude much updraft organization, resulting in a predominately multicellular, outflow-dominant storm mode. Even so,
    some forward-propagating line segments may exist for a
    short-duration. Additionally, the very moist air mass will
    contribute to the risk of water-loaded downbursts. The
    isolated/brief nature of these threats and their reliance on more
    mesoscale processes (such as storm mergers and outflow boundaries)
    for development precludes adding severe probabilities with this
    outlook. However, one or more small areas may be needed in later
    outlooks.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    KANSAS INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND FROM THE
    CAROLINAS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible from southern Kansas into
    northern Oklahoma and Arkansas Saturday afternoon and evening with
    damaging wind and large hail the main threats. A modest risk for a
    few strong to severe storms will exist from the Carolinas into the
    Middle Atlantic during the day with damaging wind gusts and a few
    tornadoes possible.

    ...Southern Kansas, Northern Oklahoma into northern Arkansas...

    A cold front will advance southward into OK and the TX Panhandle
    Saturday where the atmosphere will likely become moderately to
    strongly unstable in warm sector. Current indications are that
    elevated storms will probably be in progress north of the boundary
    across KS Saturday morning. Several CAMs as well as NAM and ECWMF
    depict an MCS and associated MCV across southern KS early in the
    period, and this activity will shift east southeast over top of a
    low-amplitude synoptic ridge during the day. Potential will exist
    for additional storms to develop across southern KS into northern OK
    as the shortwave trough advances east and interacts with the front
    and destabilizing boundary layer. Stronger flow/vertical shear will
    accompany the shortwave trough, and storms will have the potential
    to organize. A low-level jet will likely strengthen during the
    evening in association with this mesoscale system and help to
    sustain an organized MCS into the lower MS Valley region into the
    overnight. Damaging wind and hail will be the main threats.

    Other more isolated strong to severe storms may develop farther west
    in the post-frontal upslope region across the higher terrain of CO
    and spread east into High Plains during the late afternoon and
    evening. A few instances of large hail and damaging wind will be the
    main threats.

    ...Carolinas through the Middle Atlantic...

    Remnants of Laura are forecast to accelerate through the southern
    Appalachians and Carolinas to southern Middle Atlantic regions on
    Saturday as the system becomes absorbed within belt of westerlies.
    Laura should become loosely phased with a progressive
    northern-stream trough that will move through the Great Lakes and
    Northeast States. The accompanying cold front should extend from a
    surface low over the lower Great Lakes southwestward into the Ohio
    Valley early in the day. The front will continue into the Northeast
    States and Middle Atlantic during the mid to late afternoon. Rich
    tropical moisture will reside in pre-frontal warm sector, but weak
    lapse rates and potential for widespread clouds will likely result
    in marginal instability. The stronger low-level wind fields and
    largest hodographs accompanying Laura should spread through NC and
    southern VA based on latest guidance, but the system will continue
    to undergo a weakening trend. Latest satellite imagery show Laura is transitioning to a hybrid system and is entraining dry air in the
    mid-upper levels. This transition might allow for greater diabatic
    heating and destabilization of the boundary layer across parts of NC
    and VA where tornado threat will be greatest, but conditional upon
    sufficient low-level destabilization.

    Farther north into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast States, low-level
    hodographs will be smaller, but the kinematic environment might be
    sufficient for a threat of locally strong wind gusts with storms
    developing along and ahead of the advancing cold front. Threat in
    this region is also conditional upon sufficient boundary layer
    destabilization, which remains uncertain given potential for
    widespread clouds and areas of ongoing precipitation.

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

    ...Discussion...

    Upper ridge will hold over the southwestern US while troughing
    remains the predominant feature east of the Rockies. As a result, higher-quality moisture/buoyancy have been shunted into the
    southeast Gulf basin, extending across the FL Peninsula. While lapse
    rates will remain poor across this region, an elongated corridor of
    low-level confluence will persist across the southern Peninsula
    which will likely focus convection through the period.

    Farther west, a secondary mid-level short-wave trough will dig
    southeast across the Great Plains to a position from eastern
    KS/central OK by 04/06z. This feature will encourage weak convection
    along/just north of a surface front as it sags southeast across
    KS/OK into MO/AR region. A narrow zone of stronger boundary-layer
    heating should be noted ahead of the front from northwest TX into
    south-central OK. While low-level lapse rates will steepen along
    this corridor, forecast soundings suggest convective temperatures
    may not be breached. For this reason, frontal lift should result in
    more elevated updrafts.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
    Sunday through Sunday night.

    ...Discussion...
    Models continue to indicate that large-scale mid-level ridging will
    persist within the westerlies across the northern mid-latitude
    eastern Pacific into British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest,
    with general troughing east of the Rockies. However, inland of the
    Pacific coast, flow may continue to trend a bit more zonal.

    At least a pair of short wave perturbations, comprising initially
    amplified mid-level troughing across the Upper Midwest into the
    lower Missouri Valley and Ozark Plateau at the outset of the period,
    are forecast to trend out of phase Sunday through Sunday night. It
    appears that the most significant of these will accelerate
    east-northeastward across the lower Ohio Valley, toward northern Mid
    Atlantic coastal areas. As it approaches the coast late Sunday
    night, associated forcing may contribute to surface wave development
    along a frontal zone offshore.

    Seasonably high precipitable water will remain confined to a narrow
    plume along the frontal zone, extending southwestward across the
    Florida Peninsula into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Scattered
    thunderstorm activity appears most probable near the Gulf Stream and
    across the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, with potential for
    appreciable boundary-layer destabilization inland of Florida coastal
    areas remaining a bit more unclear.

    Otherwise, some scattered, weak thunderstorm activity appears
    possible late Sunday afternoon and evening across parts of
    central/eastern Ohio and adjacent portions of the Ohio Valley, where
    the mid-level cold pool associated with the vigorous short wave
    trough may overspread a corridor of stronger daytime heating.

    mid-level ascent and weak low-level warm advection will occur late
    in the period from the Edwards Plateau into northeast Texas. As
    scattered showers develop overnight Monday, a few embedded
    thunderstorms may occur given the weak elevated buoyancy present.
    Though shear will be strong, the poor thermodynamic environment will

    Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible from the southern
    Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday. Severe weather
    is not currently anticipated.

    ...Synopsis...
    Broad upper-level troughing is expected to evolve over much of the
    West on Tuesday. A shortwave perturbation is expected to eject into
    the southern Plains late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. At the
    surface, a cold front should extend from the southern High Plains
    into central Texas before arcing northeastward along the upper Texas
    Gulf Coast and into the lower Mississippi Valley.

    ...Southern Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley...
    Precipitation is likely to be ongoing early Tuesday morning. Most of
    this activity will be occurring on the cool side of the boundary.
    This should reinforce the front, though some modest northward
    progression of warmer, moist air may occur within the coastal plain
    regions. Potential for surface-based storms south of the boundary in
    southeast Texas/Sabine Valley vicinity appears low as the low-level
    jet will weaken during the morning/afternoon and mid-level ascent
    will be weak. Furthermore, forecast soundings indicate poor lapse
    rates in the column and warm layers that will inhibit updraft
    intensity. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, additional
    isolated to scattered storms are possible from the Edwards Plateau
    into Central/Northeast Texas as mid-level forcing and 850 mb warm
    advection increases. Again, these storms will be elevated on the
    cool side of the boundary. The strongest of these storms could
    produce small hail. The overall severe threat appears too
    isolated/uncertain for unconditional probabilities.

    Gulf moisture will return into the Southeast and may reach as far
    north as portions of Tennessee. The cold front will sweep through
    the Southeast beginning in the late afternoon and into Thursday
    morning.

    ...Lower MS Valley/Central Gulf Coast States...
    Warm advection precipitation will likely be ongoing along the
    surface boundary Wednesday morning. Models vary on the spatial
    extent of precipitation with the ECMWF generally showing less
    clearing during the afternoon than other models. Available CAM
    guidance also shows similar variability. In terms of environment,
    low/mid 60s F dewpoints should reach through much of
    Alabama/Mississippi. Upper 60s F dewpoints are expected in southern Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama, but could potentially push as far
    north as central Mississippi/Alabama as strong advection continues
    into the evening. Effective shear of 50-60 kts will favor organized storms/bowing segments. This shear will initially be roughly
    parallel to the front, but, as the front surges southeast, shear
    vectors will have a greater cross-boundary component. Strong
    low-level shear will also be in place with a 45-55 kt low-level jet
    moving from Louisiana during the morning into Mississippi/Alabama
    during the afternoon.

    The current expectation is for morning storms near the Sabine Valley
    to gradually intensify as they move northeast into a modestly
    destabilizing boundary-layer. How these storms evolve is uncertain.
    Damaging winds are a likely hazard, but, depending on storm mode and
    the degree of heating in Mississippi, could also pose a similar risk
    for tornadoes. Storms along the front are not likely to make much
    progress southeastward until the late afternoon. As the front moves,
    convective transport of the strong wind fields will promote damaging
    winds and strong low-level shear will bring a risk for embedded circulations/QLCS tornadoes. Discrete development ahead of the front
    during the evening is possible given strong theta-e advection and
    weak capping, but synoptic ascent will be displaced north which
    reduces confidence in that scenario. Surface-based storms become
    much less likely into Tennessee and Georgia.
