    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHEAST...CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...MID-ATLANTIC AND
    ARK-LA-TEX...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with marginally severe wind gusts and
    hail, will be possible on Thursday across parts of the Northeast,
    Mid-Atlantic and central Appalachians. Additional storms with a
    marginal severe threat may develop in parts of the Ark-La-Tex.

    ...Northeast/Central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic...
    An upper-level trough, and an associated cold front are forecast to
    move eastward across the central Great Lakes and Ohio Valley on
    Thursday. At the surface, a moist airmass will be in place ahead of
    the front with surface dewpoints mostly in the upper 60s to lower
    70s F. This will contribute to the development of moderate
    instability in most areas ahead of the front by afternoon. As
    surface heating takes place during the day, isolated to scattered
    thunderstorms will likely form ahead of the front across much of
    this moist airmass. NAM forecast soundings around 21Z from central
    New York southward to northern Virginia suggest that deep-layer
    shear will remain relatively weak. However, MLCAPE is forecast to
    peak in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range across much of the region. This,
    combined with steep low-level lapse rates, could be enough for a
    marginal wind-damage threat in areas that heat up the most.

    ...Ark-La-Tex...
    A mid-level anticyclone will be in place across the Desert Southwest
    on Thursday, as flow remains northwesterly across much of the
    south-central U.S. Moisture return is forecast to take place across
    the southern Plains during the day. By afternoon, a
    southeast-to-northwest corridor of maximized low-level moisture is
    forecast from Arkansas to southern Kansas. As surface temperatures
    warm and low-level convergence increases along this corridor during
    the mid to late afternoon, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are
    forecast to develop. NAM forecast soundings suggest that MLCAPE will
    peak in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range from Arkansas into southeast
    Oklahoma, where 0-6 km shear is forecast to be in the 30 to 35 knot
    range. This could be enough for marginal severe threat. Strong gusts
    and hail would be the primary hazards.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE NORTHEAST...MID-ATLANTIC...ARK-LA-TEX...AND NORTHERN HIGH
    PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms, associated with a marginal severe threat, will be
    possible on Friday across parts of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic,
    Ark-La-Tex and Northern High Plains.

    ...Northeast/Mid-Atlantic...
    An upper-level trough will remain across the eastern U.S. on Friday,
    from the central Great Lakes southward into the Tennessee Valley. A
    cold front will move southeastward into the central and northern
    Appalachians. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints will be mostly
    in the 60s F, contributing to the development of moderate
    instability along an axis from the Mid-Atlantic into New England.
    Due to surface heating, scattered thunderstorms are expected to
    develop during the afternoon from the higher terrain of the central
    and northern Appalachians eastward into the Atlantic Coastal Plains.
    Although 0-6 km shear is forecast to remain near or below 30 knots
    in most areas, low-level lapse rates will become steep during the
    mid to late afternoon. Multicells that develop in areas where
    instability becomes locally maximized may have a marginal
    wind-damage threat.

    ...Ark-La-Tex...
    An anticyclone will remain over the Desert Southwest on Friday, with
    flow being from the northwest across the Ark-La-Tex and lower
    Mississippi Valley. To the northeast of the high, an upper-level
    trough is forecast to move southeastward across the south-central
    U.S. At low-levels, southeasterly flow in the Ark-La-Tex will aid
    development of an axis of maximized low-level moisture extending
    from northwestern Louisiana into southeast Oklahoma. Thunderstorms,
    possibly elevated in nature, could develop late Friday afternoon,
    supported by large-scale ascent associated with the upper-level
    trough. NAM forecast soundings near Shreveport, Louisiana late
    Friday afternoon have steep mid-level lapse rates and effective
    shear around 40 knots. This could be enough for marginally severe
    hail.

    ...Northern High Plains...
    An upper-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the
    northern High Plains on Friday, with west-southwesterly mid-level
    flow located across much of the western U.S. At the surface, a cold
    front is forecast to move southward into the northern High Plains.
    Near the front, pockets of instability are forecast to develop in
    response to surface heating. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms may
    form across parts of the High Plains in the late afternoon,
    supported by large-scale ascent associated with the upper-level
    trough. NAM forecast soundings during the late afternoon in far
    southeastern Montana have MLCAPE peaking in the 1200 to 1500 J/kg
    range, with effective shear near 35 knots, and 700-500 mb lapse
    rates around 8 C/km. This will likely be sufficient for marginally
    severe hail.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur Wednesday across
    parts of the central Plains. The potential for severe thunderstorms
    to move onshore from the Gulf of Mexico along immediate portions of
    the Florida Gulf Coast remains uncertain.

    ...Central Plains...
    An upper trough should dig and further consolidate on Wednesday as
    it advances from the Northwest/Great Basin towards the central
    Rockies and adjacent High Plains. Pronounced large-scale ascent
    preceding this feature will likely encourage a lee surface low to
    deepen as it develops from eastern CO to western/central KS through
    the period. Upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints will continue
    advecting northward across the central Plains through Wednesday
    night along/east of a surface dryline. But, a cap and lingering
    MLCIN should inhibit convective development across the warm sector
    through much of the day. Still, robust convection will likely
    initiate along/near a warm front from parts of central into eastern
    KS/NE as a southerly low-level jet rapidly strengthens Wednesday
    evening. Even though low-level moisture is expected to remain fairly
    limited, around 1000-1500 J/kg of MUCAPE amid increasing deep-layer
    shear, as low/mid-level winds strengthen, should support some
    convective organization. Isolated severe hail and perhaps some
    strong wind gusts may occur with the more robust cores, before
    convection becomes mainly elevated Wednesday night.

    ...Gulf Coast...
    A mid-level perturbation should move quickly east-northeastward
    across the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday. There are still fairly
    substantial differences in model guidance regarding the related
    surface low placement and evolution through the period. This lends
    considerable uncertainty with how far, if at all, rich low-level
    moisture will be able to advance inland from parts of the central
    Gulf Coast toward the FL Gulf Coast. While both low-level and
    deep-layer shear appear favorable for organized thunderstorms, there
    is currently too much uncertainty regarding the potential for
    surface-based convection Wednesday evening/night to include low
    severe probabilities.
