...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER ERN NEB...SERN SD...SRN MN...AND MUCH OF IA... ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER THE CENTRAL AND SRN PLAINS ACROSS THE MIDDLE MS AND OH VALLEYS INTO THE SRN APPALACHIANS AND CAROLINAS... ...ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY EXPECTED MONDAY ESPECIALLY OVER THE MID MO RIVER VALLEY... ...SYNOPSIS... SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG DEVELOPING LOW/UPPER VORTICITY MAX DIGGING SEWD ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. THIS IS AMPLIFYING THE WRN US LONG WAVE TROUGH AS AN UPPER LOW SLOWLY RETROGRADES FROM SASK INTO ERN ALTA. MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT INDICATING THE GREAT BASIN LOW WILL MOVE EWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SRN ROCKIES TONIGHT BEFORE LIFTING NEWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON MONDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A LOW INITIALLY OVER WRN KS AT 20/12Z IS FORECAST TO MOVE NEWD ACROSS ERN NEB...WHILE A COLD FRONT TRAILING SWWD FROM THE LOW SURGES EWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND OVERTAKES A LEADING DRY LINE OVER PARTS OF KS AND OK. STEEP LAPSE RATES ABOVE A CAPPING INVERSION ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG EML IS EXPECTED TO INHIBIT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE PLAINS WARM SECTOR UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHILE ELEVATED STORMS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR TO THE NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW AND WARM FRONT MOVING NWD OVER THE LOWER MO VALLEY. ...ERN NEB...SERN SD...SRN MN...AND MUCH OF IA... STRONG DYNAMIC FORCING FOR LARGE-SCALE ASCENT WILL OVERSPREAD THIS REGION DURING THE DAY WITHIN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK TRANSLATING THROUGH THE SRN/ERN QUADS OF THE PLAINS UPPER LOW. ELEVATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING NORTH OF THE LOW AND WARM FRONT DURING THE MORNING WITH POTENTIAL FOR HAIL WITH STRONGER CELLS. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY BY MID AFTERNOON FROM PARTS OF CENTRAL/NERN NEB INTO SERN SD...SRN MN AND NRN IA WHERE BACKED LOW LEVEL WINDS ENHANCE VERTICAL SHEAR AS THE UPPER JET STREAK APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...CONTINUED DIABATIC HEATING COUPLED WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE NEAR THE LOW AND COLD FRONT SHOULD WEAKEN THE CAP SUFFICIENTLY FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS TO FORM ALONG/AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT OVER ERN NEB. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE INTO PARTS OF IA DURING THE EVENING. THE FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE WARM FRONT AND WITH INITIAL STORMS NEAR THE COLD FRONT...WITH A THREAT FOR SEVERAL STRONG TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS AFTER DARK WITH CONTINUING THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF MAINLY DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ...CENTRAL/ERN KS SWD INTO OK AND NRN TX... STORM ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SWD ALONG THE COLD FRONT OVER ERN KS BY LATE AFTERNOON AS DYNAMIC FORCING FOR ASCENT COUPLED WITH FRONTAL CONVERGENCE WEAKENS THE CAP. MODELS SUGGEST A RELATIVELY NARROW AXIS OF STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL ACCOMPANY THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO THE VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS. SEVERE STORMS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR WITH POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND A FEW TORNADOES. THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO A LINE WITHIN THE FIRST FEW HOURS AFTER CONVECTIVE INITIATION GIVEN THE PARALLEL ORIENTATION OF THE LOW-MID LEVEL SHEAR VECTORS AND THE COLD FRONT...WITH THE SEVERE THREAT TRANSITIONING TO PRIMARILY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL AFTER SUNSET. FARTHER SOUTH...SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL WILL BECOME GRADUALLY MORE CONDITIONAL WITH SWD EXTENT ACROSS OK INTO NRN TX AS DYNAMIC FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW LIFTS NEWD AWAY FROM THE AREA. HOWEVER...THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING INITIAL DISCRETE SUPERCELLS WILL EXIST FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL BE MOST LIKELY WITH SUPERCELLS IN OK...WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONG STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP GIVEN THE STEEP LAPSE RATES. ...MID MS VALLEY INTO UPPER OH VALLEY AND THE SRN APPALACHIANS AND CAROLINAS... ONE OR TWO FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS/S ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE EWD/ESEWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY REGION IN ASSOCIATION WITH MODERATELY STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE SEWD WITH TIME AND REACH THE APPALACHIANS DURING THE MORE FAVORABLE DIURNAL PERIOD FOR SEVERE SYSTEMS TO CROSS THE MOUNTAINS. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE HIGH RES WINDOW WRF MODEL RUNS SHOWING BOWING CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS MOVING INTO THE CAROLINAS AROUND 21/00Z. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND OCCASIONAL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THESE REGIONS.
