...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST...AND ALSO FROM TX INTO
THE LOWER MS VALLEY...

...SUMMARY...
Widely scattered strong to severe storms are expected Thursday
across parts of the central to northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
Isolated strong to severe storms may also occur over parts of Texas
into the lower Mississippi Valley.

...Synopsis...
A low-amplitude mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move across
the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest on Thursday. A deeper
upstream shortwave trough will begin to influence the Pacific
Northwest. A weak mid/upper-level low is forecast to drift
north-northeastward across eastern portions of the southern Plains. 


At the surface, a lee cyclone may gradually deepen during the day
across the central High Plains, while a weak frontal wave is
forecast to develop and move eastward from southern SD into
southwest MN. 

...Eastern SD/southern MN into northeast NE/northern IA...
Elevated convection and possibly a MCV/remnant MCS may move across
parts of the Dakotas into MN during the morning. In the wake of the
morning convection, an outflow-influenced surface front is forecast
to move northward across northern NE/IA into parts of eastern SD and
southern MN. While deep-layer flow will be relatively modest, a
localized zone of conditional supercell potential could eventually
evolve near and just north of the front, where increasing low-level
moisture will support moderate buoyancy and surface winds will be
favorably backed. 

If any supercells can develop within this regime, then hail,
damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado would all be possible. With
the primary shortwave trough generally forecast to dampen with time
and be displaced somewhat north of the more favorable environment,
coverage of diurnal supercell development (if any) is uncertain.
Greater severe probabilities may eventually be needed if confidence
in this scenario increases. Otherwise, storm coverage may generally
increase north of the front from late afternoon into the evening
within a low-level warm-advection regime, with some clustering
possible as convection spreads across southern MN Thursday night. 

...Parts of the central/northern High Plains...
High-based convection is expected to develop Thursday afternoon
across parts of northeast CO/eastern WY. Deep-layer flow will be
rather weak, but modestly veering wind profiles and sufficient
buoyancy could support localized hail and strong to severe gusts
with initial development. With time, an outflow-driven cluster could
spread into the NE Panhandle, with potentially a somewhat greater
concentration of strong/severe gusts. 

...Southern/central/east TX into the ArkLaMiss region...
Extensive convection will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across
parts of central/east TX. Rich low-level moisture, moderate
buoyancy, and modestly enhanced low/midlevel flow could support at
least an isolated threat for a tornado, locally damaging gusts, and
perhaps some hail with the morning convection. 

Storm evolution during the day is uncertain, but in general, an arc
of convection may spread northeastward toward the ArkLaTex/ArkLaMiss
vicinities during the afternoon, in conjunction with the primary
mid/upper-level low or any MCVs that develop. Locally damaging wind
and possibly a tornado could accompany the storms within this
regime. 

Some redevelopment is also possible along the trailing outflow
during the afternoon and evening into south-central TX, with a
threat of localized hail and wind-damage. 

...Western/central PA into the northern Mid Atlantic...
Moderate destabilization is expected Thursday afternoon from parts
of western/central PA into the northern Mid Atlantic, along and
south of a cold front. This region will be on the southern periphery
of stronger west-northwesterly flow aloft, and with sufficient
deep-layer shear for organized convection. However, with large-scale
ascent generally displaced well to the north and very weak
convergence expected along the front, potential for sustained deep
convection currently appears limited. Severe probabilities may be
needed if a stronger signal for robust development emerges with
time.
