   ...SYNOPSIS...
   THE SRN BRANCH OF AN ACTIVE TWO-STREAM FLOW PATTERN WILL REMAIN THE
   MAIN PLAYER IN THIS PERIOD'S SEVERE WEATHER ACTIVITY.  HEIGHT FALLS
   ALONG THE W CST EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A REBOUND OF SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
   OVER THE SRN RCKYS.  THIS...IN TURN...SHOULD INDUCE AMPLIFICATION OF
   DOWNSTREAM SHORTWAVE IMPULSE NOW OVER WRN PORTIONS OF THE CNTRL/SRN
   PLNS AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES E/NE TO THE LWR OH/TN VLYS BY 12Z
   FRIDAY.  DEVELOPING SURFACE WAVE NOW IN ERN OK /PARTIALLY MASKED BY
   RECENT CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW/ IS LINKED TO THE PLAINS SHORTWAVE TROUGH.
    THE WAVE SHOULD REDEVELOP E TO THE NE AR/W TN AREA THIS
   AFTERNOON...AND NE INTO THE OH VLY TONIGHT.
     
   ...OK/NE TX INTO LWR TN VLY....
   COUPLED JET STRUCTURE AND UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE ASSOCIATED WITH
   AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE IMPULSE EXPECTED TO KEEP WIDESPREAD AREA OF
   CONVECTION/STORMS NOW OVER OK/NRN AR AND SRN MO MOVING GENERALLY
   E/NE TODAY.  SURFACE HEATING SHOULD SUPPORT MODERATE DESTABILIZATION
   OF REGION ON SRN/ERN PERIPHERY OF COMPLEX CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...WITH
   MUCAPE RANGING FROM 1000 TO PERHAPS 2000 J/KG FROM SE OK/NE TX
   ACROSS SRN AR INTO W TN.
     
   THE STRONGEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD SHIFT E/NE INTO ERN AR/W
   TN THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL FLOW CONTINUES TO VEER AND SURFACE
   WAVE REDEVELOPS ENEWD. WHILE MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
   FAIRLY WARM...30-40 KT DEEP WSWLY SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT A FEW
   BANDS/CLUSTERS OF SUSTAINED AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING STORMS. 
   EMBEDDED BOWING SEGMENTS MAY YIELD LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND AND PERHAPS
   MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL...ESPECIALLY OVER NE AR...WRN PORTIONS OF
   TN/KY AND POSSIBLY NRN MS.  THE STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN LATER THIS
   EVENING AS FORCING FOR ASCENT/STRONGEST SHEAR MOVE BEYOND LOW LEVEL
   INSTABILITY AXIS.
     
   ...NWRN/CNTRL TX...
   DEGREE OF LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT APPEARS MORE NEBULOUS ATTM
   FOR NW/N CNTRL TX TODAY AS MAIN SRN BRANCH IMPULSE AMPLIFIES ENEWD. 
   NEAR THE SURFACE...HOWEVER...VERY MOIST/SOMEWHAT CONFLUENT
   FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO IMPINGE UPON WEAKENING COLD FRONTAL SURGE NOW
   NEAR CDS.  A SUBSTANTIAL CAP WILL REMAIN PRESENT...ESPECIALLY WITH
   WWD EXTENT ACROSS THE STATE.  BUT GIVEN FAIRLY STRONG DIURNAL 
   HEATING...BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT
   TSTM INITIATION BY LATE AFTERNOON FROM NEAR ABI/BGS NEWD TO NEAR
   SEP/MWL.
     
   MODEST DEEP SHEAR WITH A SIGNIFICANT DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT...
   COUPLED WITH STRONG INSTABILITY /MUCAPE TO 2000 J PER KG/...MAY
   SUPPORT A FEW ROTATING STORMS WITH AN ENHANCED THREAT FOR
   HAIL/DAMAGING WIND.  CONCENTRATED AREA OF DEVELOPMENT AND DRY AIR
   ALOFT SUGGEST DECENT POTENTIAL FOR COLD POOL DEVELOPMENT...WITH
   RESULTING CLUSTER LIKELY TO MOVE GENERALLY ESE ACROSS CNTRL TX
   TONIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY.
     
   ...ERN NM/W TX...
   ESELY POST-FRONTAL UPSLOPE FLOW WILL BEAR WATCHING FOR CONVECTIVE
   INITIATION W OF THE CAP ROCK FROM THE TX S PLNS WWD INTO ERN NM. 
   WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND ABSENCE OF LARGE SCALE FORCING
   FOR ASCENT SHOULD...HOWEVER...KEEP ANY SUCH DEVELOPMENT QUITE
   ISOLATED.  IF STORMS DO FORM...DEEP SHEAR WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
   SUSTAINED SUPERCELLS.
     
   ...NRN MID ATLANTIC/NEW ENG...
   LOW AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE TROUGH...IN CONJUNCTION WITH ENHANCED DEEP
   SHEAR/TROPICAL INFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH CONFLUENCE BAND DOWNSTREAM
   FROM HRCN OPHELIA...WILL CREATE ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR A FEW
   STRONG STORMS IN THE SRN NEW ENG/NRN MID ATLANTIC REGION TODAY. 
   HEATING SHOULD BOOST MUCAPE TO AROUND 1500 J/KG BY THIS
   AFTERNOON...BUT WEAK LAPSE RATES SHOULD LIMIT ANY FURTHER
   DESTABILIZATION.  NEVERTHELESS...MODERATE UNIDIRECTIONAL SWLY FLOW
   WITH 30+ KT DEEP SHEAR...POSSIBLE DRY AIR IN THE 850-700 LAYER /PER
   CHH RAOB/...SUGGEST THAT SOME RISK WILL EXIST FOR GUSTY WINDS AND
   POSSIBLY SMALL HAIL IN SOME STORMS.
     
   ...NC/VA/SRN DELMARVA CST...
   PROXIMITY OF HURRICANE OPHELIA WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AT LEAST
   SOME RISK FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR DAMAGING CONVECTIVE GUST 
   TODAY.
