...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN IA...SOUTHERN WI...MUCH OF IL...MUCH OF
IND...WESTERN KY AND NORTHERN MS...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE MS/OH
VALLEYS AND GREAT LAKES REGION...

POWERFUL UPPER TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER NEB/KS WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
TODAY ACROSS MO/IA AND INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. 
MEANWHILE...SURFACE LOW NOW OVER SOUTHWESTERN IA WILL MOVE
NORTHEASTWARD INTO WRN WI TONIGHT..WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT SWEEPING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE MS VALLEY. STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL TRANSPORT GULF MOISTURE RAPIDLY NORTHWARD. 
THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR TWO AREAS OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY.  ONE AREA ACROSS PARTS OF IA/SRN
MN/IL/WI/NORTHERN IND. THE SECOND AREA FROM SOUTHERN IND INTO
NORTHERN MS.

...IA/MN/WI/IL/NRN IND...
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING WRN IA WILL INCREASE AND
INTENSIFY INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF COLD FRONT WHICH
EXTENDS FROM WRN IA INTO NWRN MO. STEEP LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
PREVAIL OVER THIS REGION...WITH SIGNIFICANT DAYTIME HEATING FURTHER
DESTABILIZING THE AIR MASS.  AFTERNOON SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER/MID 50S AND 500MB TEMPS AROUND -20C WILL COMBINE FOR MODERATE
INSTABILITY /SBCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG/. IN ADDITION TO
FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES...VERY STRONG DEEP LAYER VERTICAL
SHEAR IS EXPECTED OVER THIS REGION IN EXIT REGION OF 70-80 KNOT MID
LEVEL JET.  SUPERCELL STORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS APPEAR LIKELY...ORGANIZING INTO BROKEN LINES OF SEVERE STORMS
AS THEY SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN IL AND SOUTHERN WI.  DURING
AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SURGE RAPIDLY NEWD INTO
CENTRAL IL/WRN IN POTENTIAL FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE.

...SRN IND/WRN KY/WRN TN/NRN MS...
CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS SURFACE DEWPOINTS OF 60F SPREADING
NEWD ACROSS AR WITH MID 60S OVER SOUTHEAST TX. STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW
LEVEL WINDS SHOULD TRANSPORT THIS MOISTURE NORTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON.
 DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S ARE LIKELY TO MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH AS
WESTERN KY/TN AFTER DARK THIS EVENING. CORE OF 80 KT MID LEVEL
SPEED MAX WILL NOSE ACROSS THIS AREA AROUND THAT TIME...WITH LOW
LEVEL JET BECOMING MORE DEFINED.  MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR IN THIS REGION AFTER 00Z. 
FORECAST SOUNDINGS IN THIS AREA SHOW MODERATE INSTABILITY...STEEP
LAPSE RATES...AND A WEAK CAP.  ALSO...LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER
VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES APPEAR QUITE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS
CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES.  IF MOISTURE RETURN IS AS
STRONG AS EXPECTED...POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO WILL
ALSO EXIST IN THIS AREA.  ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY DEVELOP SOUTHEASTWARD
WITH TIME ACROSS EASTERN MS AND MUCH OF AL.
