...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS PORTIONS OF NRN /CENTRAL PLAINS
EWD INTO NRN OH VALLEY/SRN GREAT LAKES REGION......

...ERN NEB EWD INTO NRN OH VALLEY/SRN GREAT LAKES REGION...
WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL NEB EWD ACROSS IA INTO EXTREME SRN
LWR MI.  STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND DAYTIME HEATING IS 
RESULTING IN MLCAPES FROM 2000 TO 3000 J/KG ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR
...WITH THE STRONGEST INSTABILITY LOCATED IN IA. THOUGH THE UPPER
LEVEL FORCING IS WEAK...THE VICINITY OF THE E/W FRONTAL ZONE COUPLED
WITH STRONG INSTABILITY SUPPORTS SURFACE BASED THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING IN IA THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS
NOT THAT STRONG...THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND STEEP LAPSE RATES
SHOULD SUPPORT LARGE HAIL. THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONGEAL INTO
AN MCS THIS EVENING AND SHIFT EWD ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE. DRY AIR
IN THE MID LAYERS AND RELATIVELY STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL WLY FLOW
ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER SUGGESTS THE THREAT SHOULD EVOLVE TO A
DAMAGING WIND THREAT OVERNIGHT.

SCATTERED HIGHER BASED CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP IN NEB AS THE BOUNDARY
LAYER HEATS AND MIXES TO THE LFC. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERTED-V
PROFILES FROM THE SURFACE TO 800 MB...SUGGESTIVE OF A DAMAGING WIND
THREAT.

......NRN HIGH PLAINS...
SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS CURRENTLY MOVING EWD THROUGH MT. INCREASING SLY
FLOW HAS ADVECTED 40 DEGREE DEWPOINTS INTO THE AREA WITH STEEP LAPSE
RATES RESULTING IN MLCAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG. WHILE BOUNDARY LAYER
MOISTURE IS LIMITED...THE STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES... MODERATELY
DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH SHOULD RESULT IN SEVERE STORMS
ACROSS ERN MT/WRN ND AND SD THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE STORMS
SHOULD HAVE RELATIVELY HIGH BASES...SO THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE
DAMAGING WINDS. REFERENCE WW 162.

...CAROLINAS...
THERE IS A VERY LOW PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IN THE VICINITY OF
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER. ALTHOUGH
THE MID LEVELS ARE RELATIVELY COOL...RESULTING IN A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE AIR MASS...WEAK CONVERGENCE IS LIKELY TO INHIBIT MORE THAN
A FEW STORMS FROM DEVELOPING.

...WRN TX/NM BORDER AREA..
SELY BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE MAINTAINING MID/UPPER 50 DEWPOINTS
ACROSS THE REGION. THE WEAK UPPER LOW IN SOUTH CENTRAL TX IS
RESULTING IN NWLY FLOW ALOFT ...WHICH IS ENHANCING THE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR. FULL SUNSHINE HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM WELL INTO THE
80S...RESULTING IN MLCAPES NEAR 2000 J/KG. HOWEVER...THE UPPER LOW
IN SOUTH CENTRAL TX MAY BE RESULTING IN WEAK SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE
AREA...BUT IF STORMS CAN DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE ERN SLOPES
NM/SWRN TX MTNS...HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER...THE LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE MAY INHIBIT MANY STORMS FROM
DEVELOPING...HENCE THE VERY LOW SEVERE PROBABILITIES.
