   DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

   ...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF NEB...NE CO...AND
   NW KS...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE CNTRL HI PLNS ENE INTO
   THE UPR MS VLY...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   PATTERN WILL FURTHER AMPLIFY THIS PERIOD AS PACIFIC NW TROUGH
   DEEPENS SE INTO THE GRT BASIN...AND DOWNSTREAM RIDGE EXPANDS NE
   ACROSS THE UPR MS VLY/UPR GRT LKS.  AT THE SAME TIME...NE TX CLOSED
   LOW EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SLOWLY NE INTO AR AS UPSTREAM DISTURBANCE
   NOW OVER SONORA MOVES TOWARD THE TX BIG BEND. 
   
   AT THE SFC...LARGE...LOOSELY-ORGANIZED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW OVER
   THE HI PLNS SHOULD CONSOLIDATE INTO A MAIN CENTER OVER ERN CO BY
   THIS EVE.  THE LOW WILL EDGE E/NE INTO NRN KS TONIGHT/EARLY
   FRI...AND BECOME ELONGATED ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THE SWLY FLOW ALOFT. 
   DIFFUSE WARM FRONT EXTENDING E/SE FROM THE LOW WILL ADVANCE SLOWLY
   NE ACROSS THE LWR MO VLY...WHILE A SHALLOW COOL FRONT EVOLVES NW OF
   THE LOW TONIGHT/EARLY FRI.  
   
   ...CNTRL HI PLNS INTO THE UPR MS VLY TODAY THROUGH EARLY FRI...
   STRONGEST PORTION OF NEB BOWING MCS AND ASSOCIATED WAA STORMS SHOULD
   CONTINUE GENERALLY ESE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE AND INTO
   WRN IA THROUGH MID/LATE MORNING /REF WW 291/.  THE SYSTEM SHOULD
   SLOWLY WEAKEN...ALTHOUGH PERHAPS NOT AS FAST AS SOME NOCTURNAL
   SYSTEMS GIVEN BREADTH OF LLJ AND TENDENCY FOR MOISTURE RETURN TO
   KEEP PACE WITH ADVECTIVE COMPONENT OF MCS MOTION.
   
   LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE SVR THREAT WILL ONCE AGAIN FOCUS OVER
   THE CNTRL HI PLNS...WHERE VERY MOIST AIR /PW 1.50-1.75 INCHES AND
   SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPR 60S F/ WILL RESIDE N AND E OF QSTNRY
   SFC LOW.  WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW...EXISTING MOISTURE...AND SFC HEATING
   SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NRN CO AND ERN WY
   MOUNTAINS BY 20-21Z...BENEATH 40-50 KT SW MID LVL FLOW.  THIS
   ACTIVITY SHOULD QUICKLY EVOLVE INTO SUPERCELLS THAT MOVE/DEVELOP E
   INTO THE INCREASINGLY STRONG/MOIST LOW LVL ELY FLOW N OF SFC
   LOW...AIDED BY GLANCING INFLUENCE OF LOW AMPLITUDE DISTURBANCE NOW
   APPARENT IN WV IMAGERY NEARING KSLC.
   
   GIVEN THE DISCRETE NATURE OF THE STORMS...DEEP EML...AND RICH
   MOISTURE...THIS ACTIVITY LIKELY WILL PRODUCE VERY LARGE HAIL. 
   AND...GIVEN CONSIDERABLE LOW LVL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR...TORNADOES ALSO
   APPEAR LIKELY...WITH PERHAPS A STRONG ONE AFTER DARK.  ATTM...THIS
   THREAT APPEARS MOST LIKELY FROM FAR NE CO /INVOF THE CHEYENNE RIDGE/
   E INTO SRN PARTS OF THE NEB PANHANDLE/SW NEB...WHERE COMBINATION OF
   MOST FAVORABLE STORM MODE AND THERMODYNAMIC/WIND ENVIRONMENT SHOULD
   EXIST.  
   
   THE TSTMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN AND INCREASE IN NUMBER THIS
   EVE AS THEY MOVE/DEVELOP E OR ENE INTO NOCTURNALLY-STRENGTHENED
   40-50 KT LLJ.  THIS SHOULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER
   OVERNIGHT MCS.  EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS AND BOWING STRUCTURES WILL
   EXTEND THE SVR THREAT ENE ACROSS THE NWRN HALF OF NEB...SE
   SD...AND...BY EARLY FRI...SRN MN. 
   
   ...SW KS TO SW TX LATE AFTN/EARLY EVE...
   FARTHER S...STRONG HEATING AND WEAK UPLIFT ALONG LEE TROUGH/ DRYLINE
   MAY SUPPORT WDLY SCTD TSTM DEVELOPMENT BY 22Z OVER THE SRN HALF OF
   THE HI PLNS...DESPITE STOUT EML.  POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT MAY BE
   ENHANCED BY TERRAIN CIRCULATIONS NEAR THE MEXICAN BORDER.  STRONG
   INSTABILITY /SBCAPE UP TO 4000 J PER KG/ WILL BE PRESENT.  ALTHOUGH
   DEEP SHEAR WILL DECREASE WITH SWD EXTENT...MID LVL FLOW WILL
   INCREASE TO AT LEAST 20-25 KTS AS FAR S AS THE NRN TX PANHANDLE AS
   THE WRN U.S. TROUGH EDGES EWD. THIS SETUP SHOULD FAVOR SLOWLY-MOVING
   MULTICELLS AND SUPERCELLS WITH A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY
   DMGG WINDS.  MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET.
   
   ...FAR E TX INTO LWR MS VLY...
   SLOWLY NEWD MOVEMENT OF TX UPR LOW...AND SFC HEATING...SHOULD ONCE
   AGAIN SUPPORT A DIURNAL BLOSSOMING OF SFC-BASED STORMS E AND NE OF
   THE LOW.  CONTINUING PRESENCE OF RICH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...HIGH
   PW...AND MODEST SWLY MID LVL FLOW...TOGETHER SUGGEST THAT STORMS
   COULD ASSUME WEAK ORGANIZATION INTO BANDS. SMALL AMPLITUDE BOWS IN
   THIS ACTIVITY COULD YIELD LOCALLY DMGG WIND...MAINLY THIS AFTN WHEN
   STORM COVERAGE WILL BE GREATEST.
