    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF SOUTHWEST/SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS...WESTERN/CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND THE
    EASTERN TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible on Monday across
    portions of the central and southern High Plains.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Monday, a mid-level trough will move from the upper
    Midwest/Missouri Valley to the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley during the
    period. Farther west, a more complicated pattern will develop as a
    ridge builds into the Pacific Northwest. As this ridge builds, a
    mid-level jet streak will be shunted south across the central
    Rockies. This will deepen a mid-level low with a closed circulation
    likely developing across the central High Plains region by 12Z
    Tuesday. In addition, a closed low will persist off the southern
    California coast for much of the period. High pressure will be
    present across much of the western CONUS with weak lee troughing
    along the central and southern High Plains. The surface pattern will
    be somewhat less defined farther east with a weak remnant front
    likely through the Upper Midwest to the western Great Lakes. High
    pressure will dominate areas east of the Appalachians.

    ...Central Plains...
    Moderate to strong instability will develop by Monday afternoon in
    the wake of a morning MCS across Oklahoma/Kansas. Forecast soundings
    show a strongly capped airmass across Kansas/Oklahoma and given the
    relatively weak forcing amid modest height falls, do not expect much thunderstorm development until after 00Z. After this time, the
    mid-level trough will start to overspread the Plains with a
    strengthening low-level jet potentially approaching 50 knots.
    Cooling temperatures aloft and strong isentropic ascent should
    result in thunderstorm development after sunset Monday evening. Seep
    mid-level lapse rates and strengthening effective shear (40 to 50
    knots) will support the potential for supercells with some hail
    threat. As upscale growth continues, the severe wind threat should
    increase and continue into the overnight period into portions of central/northern Oklahoma.

    ...NE/IA to Lake Michigan...
    Diurnal thunderstorm development is possible along a diffuse frontal
    zone from Nebraska to southern Wisconsin. Modest lapse rates and
    moderate instability along this zone will support some multicells
    capable of some hail or damaging wind gusts. However, mostly weak
    deep-layer shear (20 knots) and weak upper forcing should keep the
    overall threat along this zone relatively isolated.

    ...Tennessee Valley to the eastern Great Lakes...
    A weak mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move through the
    Ohio Valley on Monday with moderate instability forecast ahead of
    it. An uncapped airmass and some moderate upper-level support in a
    broader zone of weak, but persistent isentropic ascent should
    support scattered thunderstorm development. Lapse rates will be
    poor, but modest effective shear amid 30 to 35 knots of mid-level
    flow may support some organized multicells capable of damaging wind
    gusts Monday afternoon/evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
    OKLAHOMA...FAR NORTHEAST TEXAS...AND MUCH OF ARKANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong to severe storms are possible from the southern Plains to the
    Tennessee Valley on Tuesday. Strongest thunderstorm activity is
    expected across eastern Oklahoma into northeastern Texas and
    Arkansas, where supercells capable of all severe hazards are
    possible by afternoon.

    ...Synopsis...
    A positively tilted mid-level trough will begin the period across
    eastern Colorado and shift east through the day to the Missouri
    Valley region by 12Z Wednesday. A 40 to 50 knot mid-level jet streak
    associated with overnight convection Monday night across KS/OK will
    shift east across MO/AR during the day Tuesday and gradually weaken.
    In its wake, the primary mid-level jet streak will emerge across
    Oklahoma and strengthen Tuesday night as it moves from Oklahoma into
    Arkansas. A weak surface low is forecast to be across northwest
    Oklahoma Tuesday morning. This surface low and its associated cold
    front will drift slowly east through the day.

    ...Eastern Oklahoma into much of Arkansas and northeast Texas...
    A large MCS will likely be ongoing Tuesday morning across eastern
    Kansas, southwest Missouri, and northeast Oklahoma on the nose of a
    40 to 50 knot low-level jet. As the low-level jet weakens during the
    morning and storms move east of the greatest shear/instability,
    expect the MCS to weaken. Some isolated damaging wind gusts may
    persist across northern Arkansas/southern Missouri and into TN/KY,
    but expect this activity to remain mostly sub-severe.

    The primary severe weather concern will be Tuesday afternoon/evening
    across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Strong instability is
    forecast across this region in the wake of the morning MCS as cool
    temperatures aloft overspread low to mid 70s dewpoints. RAP/NAM
    forecast soundings show only modest heating is necessary to erode
    inhibition. Therefore, expect additional thunderstorm development
    during the afternoon along and ahead of the cold front as it moves
    across Oklahoma. Storm motion orthogonal to the front should favor
    movement along and perhaps off of the front and into the warm
    sector. Therefore, all severe hazards will be possible across this
    region in a favorable environment featuring strong instability,
    moderate deep-layer shear, and elongating, cyclonically curved
    hodographs.

    A conditional, potentially more volatile tornado threat is possible
    across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas if significant
    destabilization can occur north of any outflow boundary left by
    morning convection. 03Z RAP/00Z NAM forecast soundings near Fort
    Smith capture this conditional environment well and would
    potentially support strong tornadoes. However, this evolution is
    highly dependent on the evolution of Day 1 convection across Kansas
    and Oklahoma which still remains unclear. In addition, the time
    window for this favorable environment would be narrow which also
    adds conditionality to the risk. This scenario will be monitored
    closely and a Level 3/Enhanced Risk may be justified in later
    outlooks if this scenario appears more likely.

    ...Central Texas...
    Moderate instability is forecast across central/northern Texas
    Tuesday afternoon with eroding inhibition by mid-afternoon. Shear
    will be relatively weak, but will increase during the
    afternoon/evening as the mid-level jet streak drifts south. The most
    favorable zone for thunderstorm development will be the triple point
    where the cold front and dryline intersect across North Texas.
    However, additional isolated storms may also develop along the
    dryline and cold front. Isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts
    will be the primary threat from these storms Tuesday
    afternoon/evening.

    ...Tennessee Valley...
    A weak warm front may be a focus for storm development Tuesday afternoon/evening across western/middle Tennessee as moderate
    instability develops across the region. Deep-layer shear should
    remain quite weak (less than 20 knots) as the primary mid-level jet
    streak remains farther west. However, a few stronger storms capable
    of damaging wind gusts may develop during the afternoon/evening.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ARKLATEX
    TO THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday across parts of
    the Ark-La-Tex, Ozarks, mid Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys.
    Damaging winds, a few tornadoes and hail are possible.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper trough over the central US is forecast to deepen
    throughout Saturday as several peripheral shortwave features
    coalesce over the central MS Valley. The most prominent of these
    features will start the period over the southern Rockies before
    phasing with the broader trough across the southern Plains Saturday
    night. A powerful 100+ kt mid-level jet exiting the central
    Rockies/High Plains will round the base of the consolidated trough
    helping to rapidly deepen a surface low over the OH Valley and Lower
    Great Lakes. A cold front with strong southerly flow ahead of it
    will sweep eastward from the OH/MS Valleys into the Mid South
    overnight supporting scattered to numerous thunderstorms.

    ...Ohio Valley to the Ozarks...
    Mid-level ascent with an embedded perturbation will expand over the
    slow-moving cold front initially positioned from the Ozarks to the
    Lower Great Lakes and OH Valley early Saturday. Southerly flow will
    allow for substantial moistening as low to mid 60s F surface
    dewpoints move northward across MO/IL, into western KY and OH and
    eventually Lower MI. Continued low-level warm advection should
    result in scattered to numerous thunderstorms along the front by mid
    afternoon into the evening. While buoyancy should be limited
    (500-1000 J/kg) owing to increasing storm coverage and cloud cover,
    elongated mid/upper-level hodographs with largely unidirectional
    shear will favor some potential for organized short line segments.
    This activity should generally become more organized into the
    afternoon/evening as the cold front strengthens and surges eastward
    as the upper trough and surface low organize. This will support a
    risk for damaging gusts and perhaps a couple embedded tornadoes
    should a more coherent QLCS develop and persist overnight.

    ...Southern Plains to the Mid MS Valley...
    Ahead of the primary southern stream shortwave trough, rich
    low-level moisture will advect northward across parts of TX/OK into
    the central and lower MS Valley. While some potential exists for
    early morning convection to modulate the environment, current
    guidance suggests diurnal destabilization (MLCAPE ~ 2000 J/kg) is
    likely ahead of surface trough trailing the developing low farther
    north. Scattered thunderstorm development is expected in the
    afternoon from northern AR into eastern OK and North TX with the
    potential for supercell structures capable of damaging gusts and
    hail initially.

    With time, the surface cold front over the southern Plains should
    begin to surge eastward as the advancing shortwave trough phases
    with the strengthening upper trough. Vertical shear will increase
    substantially as the mid-level jet streak noses into the Mid South
    fostering strong low-level mass response. The cold front will likely
    outpace and overtake the surface trough and ongoing convection
    supporting rapid upscale growth into a squall line across the
    central MS Valley Saturday evening into the early overnight hours.
    While uncertainty about the degree of instability given the
    overnight timing remains, strengthening low-level wind fields and
    mid 60s F dewpoints may delay boundary-layer decoupling long enough
    to support a damaging wind and embedded tornado threat overnight as
    the QLCS moves eastward.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN INTO CENTRAL TEXAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe storms with damaging winds and hail are
    possible centered over western and central Texas, from mid-afternoon
    Friday into Friday night.

    ...Synopsis..
    A broad, and somewhat disjointed positive-tilt upper trough with
    multiple embedded impulses is forecast to move from the Southwest
    and Southern Rockies into the Plains Friday and Friday night. As the
    trough advances eastward, enhanced southwesterly flow will
    overspread a moistening air mass across parts of western and central
    TX into southern OK. A lee trough and cold front trailing a weak
    surface low over the TX Panhandle will serve as a focus for
    scattered storm development Friday afternoon and Friday evening
    across much of the southern Pains.

    ...Trans Pecos into central TX...
    Ahead of the southern most mid-level impulse, ascent will increase
    through the day eroding weak inhibition over parts of southwestern
    and central TX. Southeasterly low-level flow will transport mid 60s
    to low 70s F surface dewpoints westward, supporting moderate
    destabilization over the Pecos Valley northward to the TX South
    Plains. Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop along the lee
    trough and advancing cold front by mid afternoon, spreading east
    northeastward. Veering wind profiles with 40+ kt of deep-layer shear
    should support a mix of supercells and clusters/line segments
    capable of hail, damaging winds, and a tornado or two.

    Given the weak inhibition, persistent ascent, and increasing storm
    coverage, upscale growth into a large MCS is likely across the
    Edwards Plateau to central TX vicinity Friday night. This should
    support a continued isolated severe wind/hail threat into the early
    Saturday.

    ...TX Panhandle into southern OK and western North TX...
    Farther north, uncertainty is much higher regarding surface-based destabilization. Scattered to widespread elevated convection will be
    ongoing at 12Z Friday from the eastern TX Panhandle, Red River
    Valley into KS, with remnant cloud cover likely to impact diurnal
    heating. An east-west baroclinic boundary is likely to become
    established serving as the northern effective limit for the
    surface-based warm sector. As mid-level ascent increases, scattered
    to numerous storms are likely to develop through the afternoon and
    evening. Some of these storms may be elevated north of the boundary.
    While a messy storm mode with numerous interactions are likely,
    at-least isolated hail and damaging winds appear probable from the
    eastern TX Panhandle across southeastern OK and North TX Friday and
    Friday night.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
    TEXAS INTO LOUISIANA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on Saturday
    into Saturday night, from southeast Texas to southern Louisiana.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad positive-tilt upper trough over the Rio Grande Valley will
    gradually strengthen while moving eastward over central TX Saturday
    through Saturday night. Ascent attendant to a strong embedded
    shortwave/jet will round the base of the trough and overspread
    robust moisture over the northwest Gulf Coast and lower MS Valley.
    While early morning thunderstorms are likely to complicate the
    forecast, a remnant outflow boundary may serve as a focus for
    renewed severe storm development across southeast TX and LA Saturday
    afternoon through Saturday night.

    ...TX/LA...
    Early in the day, an expansive MCS is likely to be ongoing across east/southeast TX. This activity is likely to continue moving
    southeastward toward the Gulf Coast, with an isolated wind and
    tornado threat. In the wake of the MCS, outflow will stall and
    gradually lift back northward, allowing for some air mass recovery
    east of the dryline across far south TX. Low 70s F surface dewpoints
    and strong heating should support moderate buoyancy by mid
    afternoon. The approach of the basal shortwave and mid-level jet
    will support additional storm development with veering wind profiles
    and 40+ kt of deep-layer shear favoring supercells and organized
    clusters. With most of the activity expected to occur along and
    north of the recovering outflow, these storms may be elevated above
    the surface. This would favor a risk mainly for large hail given
    cool mid-level temperatures.

    As forcing intensifies ahead of the deepening trough, upscale growth
    is again expected late Saturday evening and overnight. An MCS may
    develop and track eastward along the remnant outflow across
    southeast TX into southern LA. A threat for damaging gusts and a few
    tornadoes may continue overnight as surface moisture and low-level
    shear remain stout beneath a strengthening low-level jet across the
    Lower Sabine and MS Valley. While some uncertainty remains regarding destabilization, boundary layer separation is likely to be delayed
    with continued low-level warm advection off the Gulf overnight.
