   ...SOUTHERN PLAINS RED RIVER VALLEY INTO SOUTHEAST STATES...
   LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED QUASI-STATIONARY SURFACE FRONT
   CURVING FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF
   STATES INTO THE VICINITY OF THE RED RIVER.  CLUSTER OF CONVECTION
   HAS STABILIZED WARM SECTOR IN SWATH FROM CENTRAL ALABAMA INTO
   WESTERN/CENTRAL GEORGIA...BUT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS BECOMING FOCUS
   FOR NEW CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FROM PARTS OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
   INTO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL/ SOUTHEAST
   GEORGIA.  SURFACE FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN
   CAROLINAS IS ALSO BECOMING FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
   ACTIVITY.  
   
   DAYTIME HEATING OF MOIST AIR MASS NEAR BOUNDARIES HAS CONTRIBUTED
   TO MODERATE INSTABILITY...WITH GREATEST INSTABILITY WHERE SURFACE
   DEW POINTS ARE NEAR 70...FROM THE VICINITY OF THE EASTERN GULF
   COAST INTO LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS. 
   SUBSTANTIAL LOW/MID-LEVEL CAP IS EVIDENT IN 18Z SOUNDINGS FROM FORT
   WORTH AND SHREVEPORT...BUT WEAKER INHIBITION SHOULD ALLOW FOR
   CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND INTENSIFICATIONS OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
   IN PEAK AFTERNOON HEATING ACROSS THE GULF AND SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST
   STATES NEXT FEW HOURS.  THOUGH LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS RATHER WEAK...WEST
   NORTHWESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW ON THE ORDER OF 30/40 KTS WILL
   CONTRIBUTE TO SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR ISOLATED SUPERCELLS IN
   ENVIRONMENT WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE OF 1500 TO 3000 J/KG.  
   
   FORCING ON TAIL END OF SHORT WAVE TROUGH NOW AMPLIFYING AND DIGGING
   TOWARD THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS MAY AID EVOLUTION OF
   ORGANIZED CONVECTION NEAR FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE CAROLINAS BY
   EARLY EVENING...WHILE ANOTHER CLUSTER WITH ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD
   POOL EVOLVES IN MORE UNSTABLE AIR MASS OVER SOUTHERN GEORGIA/
   NORTHERN FLORIDA.
   
   UPSTREAM...ACROSS THE ARKLATEX/RED RIVER VALLEY...FORCING IS MORE
   UNCERTAIN...BUT MODELS SUGGEST AREA OF ENHANCED UPPER DIVERGENCE ON
   NORTHEAST PERIPHERY OF BUILDING SOUTHERN PLAINS RIDGE MAY SUPPORT
   ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS BY EARLY EVENING.  GIVEN FAVORABLY
   SHEARED ENVIRONMENT...VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ACROSS THIS
   REGION PROVIDE POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL IN MOST VIGOROUS
   STORMS.
   
   ...HIGH PLAINS/CENTRAL PLAINS...
   STRONG HEATING IS ONGOING IN LEE SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE HIGH
   PLAINS...WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE BEGINNING TO RETURN NORTHWARD
   THROUGH THE PLAINS ON STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW.   
   THOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IS STILL QUITE MARGINAL ACROSS
   WESTERN NEBRASKA AND WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...WHERE FORCING IN EXIT
   REGION OF UPPER JET WILL SUPPORT INCREASING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
   LATE THIS AFTERNOON...ENVIRONMENT IS STILL SUPPORTIVE OF ISOLATED
   SUPERCELLS.  ACTIVITY IS MOST LIKELY SHORTLY AFTER PEAK HEATING...
   POSSIBLY AS FAR SOUTH AS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY EARLY THIS EVENING.
   
   SOUTHERN PLAINS ACTIVITY WILL BE SHORTER LIVED IN MORE STRONGLY
   CAPPED ENVIRONMENT...BUT STORMS SHOULD PERSIST AND SPREAD EASTWARD
   ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS.
   
   LATER THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT...MORE RAPID NORTHWARD TRANSPORT OF
   MOISTURE ON STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO
   CONTRIBUTE TO MORE SUBSTANTIAL DESTABILIZATION...WITH CAPE FOR
   PARCELS LIFTED FROM MOIST LAYER ABOVE LOW-LEVEL INVERSION ON THE
   ORDER OF 1000 TO 2000 J/KG.  DESTABILIZATION AND LIFT SHOULD BECOME
   MAXIMIZED ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA NEAR/SHORTLY AFTER
   04/06Z...NORTHEAST OF DEEPENING SURFACE LOW.  THIS IS EXPECTED TO
   SUPPORT INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD CONVECTION...WITH VERTICAL SHEAR
   PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL.  ACTIVITY
   WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD EASTWARD INTO PARTS OF THE LOWER/MID MISSOURI
   VALLEY BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
