...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS WRN GREAT LAKES SWWD TO
CENTRAL/SRN PLAINS...

...SYNOPSIS...
LARGE SCALE TROUGH REMAINS OVER WRN U.S. THIS FORECAST PERIOD. 
OVERNIGHT S/WV IMPULSE HAS ROTATED NEWD INTO PLAINS AND WILL
CONTINUE INTO SRN CANADA THIS AFTERNOON. AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW
MN WILL ALSO MORE NEWD AND WEAKEN AS STRONG COLD FRONT CONTINUES EWD
REACHING WRN GREAT LAKES SWWD TO VICINITY MKC BY THIS EVENING.

ANOTHER S/W TROUGH MOVES EWD ACROSS SRN ROCKIES THROUGH BOTTOM OF
MAJOR TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. IN RESPONSE TO APPROACH OF THIS
FEATURE...SURFACE LOW DEEPENS LEE OF SRN CO/NRN NM ROCKIES .  COLD
FRONT THAT HAS PUSHED SWD OVERNIGHT INTO NWRN TX PANHANDLE AND NERN
NM SHOULD STALL WITH SURFACE DEEPENING.  DRY LINE EXTENDS SWD FROM
FRONT THRU ERN TX PANHANDLE TO BIG BEND.


...CENTRAL/SRN PLAINS...

SLY FLOW HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE GULF MOISTURE TO THE POINT WHERE
THERE IS POTENTIALLY A VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS S OF COLD FRONT AND E
OF DRY LINE. A SUBSTANTIAL CAP WILL DELAY INITIATION UNTIL LATER
THIS AFTERNOON.  AS SURFACE LOW DEEPENS...SELY FLOW WILL INCREASE
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WWD INTO SERN CO.  THIS WILL LIKELY BE AREA OF
INITIAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS ALONG COLD
FRONT KS AND DOWN THE DRY LINE VICINITY OK/TX BORDER.

DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40-50 KT AND A VEERING HODOGRAPH IN THE SFC-1 KM
LAYER..COUPLED WITH MLCAPES LIKELY IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG...SUPPORT 
A SUPERCELL MODE OF STORMS.  PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE VERY LARGE HAIL
HOWEVER AT LEAST ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE LIKELY IN AREAS OF ENHANCE
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND SHEAR VICINITY DRY LINE AND COLD FRONT.

AS LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES THIS EVENING AND CAP WEAKENS FURTHER WITH
THE ASCENT PROVIDED BY APPROACHING S/WV TROUGH...SEVERE STORMS WILL
CONTINUE DEVELOPING E/SE ACROSS KS AND WRN/NRN OK.

FURTHER S ALONG THE DRY LINE AGAIN TODAY PULSE SEVERE EXPECTED TO BE
THE MODE SWD TO TX BIG BEND.  COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED.

...WRN GREAT LAKES/MID MS VALLEY...
AIR MASS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT IS MODERATELY UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY
CAPPED.  STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT.  WITH THE SURFACE LOW EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
CANADA AND WEAKEN AND THE MEAN WIND IN THE WARM SECTOR OF GENERALLY
30KT...STORM MODE EXPECTED TO BE PRIMARILY MULTI-CELLULAR.  WITH
MLCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG AND FAVORABLE WET BULB ZERO LEVELS AROUND
10K FEET...STRONGER STORMS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND
ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

...LOWER MS VALLEY/GULF STATES...
VERY MOIST AND MARGINALLY SHEARED AIRMASS THIS AREA WILL RESULT IN
PULSE THUNDERSTORM MODE.  COVERAGE OF SEVERE EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED
GIVEN THE RATHER WEAK KINEMATICS..
