...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL
AND EASTERN KANSAS AND FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms capable of all severe hazards are expected on
Sunday across portions of the central and southern Plains.

...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will continue to amplify across the
Intermountain West on Sunday with a leading mid-level shortwave
trough forecast to emerge into the central Plains during the
afternoon and evening. At the surface, a low 990s mb surface low is
forecast to develop in the eastern Colorado/western Kansas vicinity.
A dryline will extend south from this surface low with a warm front
extending east into the Southeast.

...Central/Southern Plains...
Low to mid 70s dewpoints will advect poleward east of a sharpening
dryline across the central Plains Sunday morning/early afternoon.
This, combined with strong heating, will result in strong to very
strong instability across Oklahoma and into southern Kansas with
moderate to strong instability across eastern Kansas. As a mid-level
shortwave trough emerges over the Plains, inhibition will erode
along the dryline with storm development possible during the
afternoon. Deep layer shear will support supercells as the primary
storm mode with potential for large hail. As the low-level jet
strengthens through the day, the low-level hodographs will elongate
and result in an increasing tornado threat, including the potential
for strong tornadoes.

Confidence in storm coverage is highest across Kansas near the
triple point. While some uncertainty remains where the warm
front/dryline intersection will be, it will likely be somewhere near
central Kansas. An enhanced risk (Level 3 out of 5) has been added
across Kansas and into northern Oklahoma where the confidence for
storm coverage is highest. However, it is important to note that
storms could be equally as intense within the slight risk area
across Oklahoma as storm coverage concerns are the only limiting
factor to higher severe weather probabilities at this time.

...Southeast...
Isolated storms will be possible along the frontal zone from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Southeast. Moderate to strong
instability and strong shear will be in place along the frontal
zone. However, forcing should be weak, so storm coverage is
uncertain at this time.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTH
TEXAS...MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA...EASTERN KANSAS...FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND MUCH OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN MISSOURI...

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms with all severe weather hazards are likely from
portions of the Midwest to the southern Plains on Monday.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will move over the central/southern Plains on
Monday. At the surface, an area of low pressure will move slowly
east across Kansas and eventually into Missouri. A sharp dryline
will extend from this surface low southward along the I-35 corridor
into north-central Texas. A warm front will extend from this surface
low southeastward into portions of the lower Ohio Valley and into
the Carolinas Monday morning. This front will move slowly north
through the day.

...Central/Southern Plains into the Midwest...
Strong to very strong instability will develop across the Plains and
into the Ozarks on Monday as temperatures warm into the 80s with
dewpoints in the low 70s while mid-level temperatures cool ahead of
the approaching mid-level trough. As strengthening mid-level flow
overspreads the warm sector, a favorable environment for intense
supercells will develop with 3000+ J/kg MLCAPE and 50+ knots of
shear across a broad region. Large to very large hail will be likely
within supercells across eastern Kansas and Oklahoma into northern
Texas. The tornado threat remains potent but more uncertain. The
weakening nature of the surface low and a strengthening low-level
jet during the evening when mode remains less clear are the primary uncertainties at this time. Eventually expect storms to congeal into
one or more MCSs with an increasing severe wind threat.

Additional storms are likely late Monday evening as a cold front
overtakes the dryline across Kansas and eventually into Oklahoma.
Storm intensity during this period remains unclear as it will depend
greatly on remaining instability in the wake of earlier convection.
Regardless, if earlier convection does not materialize as expected,
more robust storms are likely along the cold front. Therefore,
between the likely dryline storms during the afternoon and potential
for storms along the cold front Monday evening, numerous severe
thunderstorms are likely across Kansas and Oklahoma with that threat
continuing eastward into parts of Missouri and Arkansas Monday evening.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...OHIO VALLEY...AND TENNESSEE VALLEY...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are likely across portions of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and Tennessee Valley on Monday.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level low will stall and perhaps start to retrograde across
parts of the Upper Midwest on Monday. A surface low in the MO/IL
region will start to occlude during the day. A cold front will move
east through the period with a warm front across the Ohio Valley.

...Mid-Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley...

Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing amid broad isentropic ascent
and moderate elevated instability along the warm front in southern
Illinois and Indiana and vicinity on Monday morning. South of this
morning activity, where upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints are
anticipated, moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop
amid daytime heating. As 55 to 65 knots of mid-level flow
overspreads the warm sector, strong shear will be present for
supercells. Large to very large hail will be the primary threat
initially, as low-level flow will likely be veered. However,
low-level shear should be strong enough to support some tornado
threat during the afternoon/evening. As storms grow upscale, one or
more bowing segments may develop with an increased damaging wind
threat during the evening and perhaps persisting into the overnight period.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
NORTHEAST MISSOURI...FAR SOUTHEAST IOWA...AND PARTS OF
NORTHERN/CENTRAL ILLINOIS...

CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT DAY OF THE WEEK REFERENCES

...SUMMARY...
Scattered to widespread severe thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday
from the southern Plains into the Middle Mississippi Valley
vicinity. All severe hazards are possible.

...Southern Plains to Mid-MS Valley Vicinity...

A complex scenario is expected to unfold on Tuesday and Tuesday
night across a broad warm sector from the southern Plains into the
Mid-MS Valley and Lake Michigan vicinity. An initially split-flow
upper level pattern will see an upper low and attendant trough over
northwest Mexico lift northeast across the southern Rockies into the
adjacent High Plains. As this occurs, a northern stream upper trough
will deepen over the northern/central Plains, with the two systems
merging by the end of the period. This will result in substantial
mid/upper southwesterly flow streaming across the area atop strong
low-level warm advection. A broad warm sector with surface dewpoints
in the 60s F will encompass much of OK/TX/eastern KS eastward into
the Mid/Lower MS Valley and Lower OH/TN Valleys. Two areas of
deepening surface low pressure are forecast -- one across the OK/TX
Panhandle vicinity, the other across northwest MO into IA. A dryline
will extend southward from the Plains low, and a warm front will
extend west to east from southern IA into northern IL/IN during the
afternoon. After 00z, a cold front will develop southeast, becoming
positioned from southern Lake Michigan southwest to central OK.
There is some uncertainty in the position of these surface features,
but this appears to be the best estimate at this time based on
various guidance.

Some uncertainty also exists with regards to capping, particularly
across OK into parts of MO. Nevertheless, strong vertical shear atop
a very moist warm and moderately unstable airmass should support
scattered to possibly widespread severe thunderstorms. Supercell
wind profiles will support large to very large hail where discrete
convection occurs. Linear forcing along surface boundaries also may
favor linear segments, especially after dark. Tornado potential may
be maximized near the surface warm front/triple point across parts
of MO/IL and far southeast IA. Outlook areas may change some in the
coming days as mesoscale details become better resolved.
