VALID 021630Z - 031200Z
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID
ATLANTIC/SRN NEW ENGLAND...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER THE NRN/CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS...
...NORTHEAST...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM FORECAST REMAINS COMPLEX OVER THIS REGION TODAY
WITH EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER HOLDING OVER SRN NY INTO MUCH OF NEW
ENGLAND AND LIMITED CONVERGENCE SWD INTO BETTER HEATING INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC WITH UNIFORM WLY SURFACE WINDS. ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE
STORMS REMAIN ELEVATED SKIRTING THE MA COAST LATE THIS MORNING ON
FRINGE OF IMPULSE ROTATING NNEWD ON WV IMAGERY...WITH SUBSIDENT
REGIME EVIDENT IN WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM. UPSTREAM IMPULSE EJECTING
ACROSS WRN NY/PA THIS MORNING MAY SUPPORT REDEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS INTO ERN PA/NRN NJ DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.
DESPITE THE LIMITING FACTORS LISTED ABOVE...MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES
REMAIN FAIRLY COOL AND OVERALL MODEST INSTABILITY MAY SUPPORT A FEW
SEVERE STORMS WITH HAIL/WINDS NEAR OR JUST EXCEEDING SEVERE LEVELS.
...NRN/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
MODEST WLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE NRN/CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS TODAY ALONG NRN PERIPHERY OF LARGE SCALE RIDGE PERSISTING
OVER THE SRN/CENTRAL ROCKIES. SEVERAL LOW AMPLITUDE MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS/SPEED MAXIMA WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION...WITH
IMPULSE NOW MOVING ACROSS WY EXPECTED TO SHIFT OVER THE HIGH PLAINS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
FOR MODERATE INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS AND
SHOULD RESULT IN ANOTHER ACTIVE CONVECTIVE DAY. DESPITE THE MODEST
WLY FLOW ALOFT...SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS AND
ORGANIZED CLUSTERS/LINES GIVEN THE SELY LOW LEVEL WINDS...AS STORMS
SPREAD ESEWD OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. PRIMARY THREATS WILL ONCE
AGAIN BE FROM LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS...ALTHOUGH A
TORNADO OR TWO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT WITH ANY PERSISTENT SUPERCELL.
...GREAT BASIN...
WELL DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS ALREADY FOCUSING THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE SRN GREAT BASIN THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL SPREAD SLOWLY NEWD
THROUGH THE DAY. THIS WILL LIKELY FOCUS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WITH CONTINUED INFLUX OF LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE S AND
DAYTIME HEATING. PROFILES WITH LOW-LEVEL INVERTED-V CHARACTERISTICS
AND 50-60 KT SWLY HIGH LEVEL FLOW COULD SUPPORT A FEW STORMS CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING A FEW STRONG OUTFLOW GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL.
...CENTRAL GULF COAST INTO /NRN FL/SRN GA...
MID LEVEL AIR REMAINS FAIRLY DRY OVER THE REGION THIS
MORNING...WHICH WILL PERSIST ATOP A VERY WARM/MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER.
MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP BY THE MID AFTERNOON
ACROSS THIS REGION...WITH PULSE-STORMS LIKELY FOCUSING ALONG E-W
ORIENTED WEAK SURFACE FRONTS. STRONGER...BRIEF-LIVED CORES WILL BE
CAPABLE OF STRONG/ISOLATED SEVERE DOWNBURSTS.
