   DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK  
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   1126 AM CDT WED JUN 08 2011
   
   VALID 081630Z - 091200Z
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM NEW ENGLAND INTO THE GREAT
   LAKES AND THEN SWWD INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS NEAR THE NERN CO FOOTHILLS...
   
   ..NERN PA/ERN NY INTO NRN NEW ENGLAND...
   STRONG HEATING OF MOISTENING BOUNDARY LAYER WILL RESULT IN MLCAPES
   UP TO 2000 J/KG. THIS INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR AT 30-40 KT
   WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR MULTICELLS WITH HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS.
   HOWEVER...BUILDING 500 MB HEIGHTS AND CAPPING INVERSION ARE EXPECTED
   TO LIMIT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL BE
   IN MAINE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH...CURRENTLY OVER
   QUEBEC...SHIFTS EWD ACROSS AT LEAST NRN ME. AS THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN
   IN THE NERN STATES LATER TODAY... STORMS LOCATED OVER LOWER MI
   REGION MAY MOVE EWD INTO PORTIONS OF NRN/WRN NY THIS EVENING.
   ELSEWHERE...STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOO ISOLATED FOR A SLIGHT RISK
   ISSUANCE.
   
   ...GREAT LAKES TO IA/NRN MO SWWD INTO NERN KS...
   LIGHTNING HAS BEEN DECREASING IN STORMS IN IA...THOUGH NEW STORMS
   HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED IN ERN WI. THESE STORMS APPEAR TO STILL BE
   SLIGHTLY ELEVATED...BUT MAY CONTINUE WITH A SEVERE POTENTIAL AS THEY
   SHIFT EWD INTO LOWER MI THIS AFTERNOON.
   
   ELSEWHERE ACROSS AREA...AT MID MORNING...COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM
   THE FAR WRN U/P SWWD INTO NRN KS. STRONG HEATING AHEAD OF SEWD
   MOVING FRONT WILL RESULT IN AIR MASS TO BECOME MODERATELY TO
   STRONGLY UNSTABLE. SMALL CLUSTERS OF SURFACE BASED STORMS ARE
   FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE STRONGER WINDS
   ALOFT WILL REMAIN BEHIND THE FRONT...THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE
   MOST FAVORABLE FOR MULTICELLS. HOWEVER...SUPERCELL STRUCTURES ARE
   POSSIBLE OVER THE WRN GREAT LAKES...WHERE EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR WILL
   BE STRONGER...AND PERHAPS SWWD INTO IA WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE
   QUITE STRONG. LARGE HAIL...AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
   STRONGER STORMS AND A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO.
   
   ...CENTRAL KS SWWD INTO NWRN OK...
   DESPITE A RELATIVELY DRY BOUNDARY LAYER...DEWPOINTS MOSTLY IN THE
   40S TO LOWER 50S...COMBINATION OF STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND SURFACE
   CONVERGENCE ALONG SEWD MOVING COLD FRONT MAY BE ENOUGH FOR A FEW
   STORMS TO DEVELOP NEAR THE FRONT LATE AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
   INDICATE ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE HIGH BASED AND SUPPORTIVE
   OF SEVERE WINDS. THE THREAT SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET
   WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
   
   ...CENTRAL PLAINS...
   SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO PORTIONS OF WRN CENTRAL PLAINS
   AS COLD FRONT MOVES SWD INTO THE TX PANHANDLE AND EWD THROUGH
   CENTRAL KS. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE HAS DRIED OUT WITH PASSAGE OF
   FRONT AND WITH LACK OF DYNAMICAL FORCING...SEVERE PROBABILITIES HAVE
   BEEN LOWERED ACROSS NEB/NERN CO AND SERN WY. FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS
   THE NERN CO FOOTHILLS...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH MOISTURE IN ELY UPSLOPE
   FLOW FOR A STORM OR TWO DEVELOP LATE AFTERNOON. ANY STORMS THAT
   DEVELOP WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT SHEAR TO ROTATE. THE RELATIVELY DRY
   BOUNDARY LAYER INDICATES THAT SEVERE HAIL WOULD BE THE PRIMARY
   THREAT.
   
   ...GREAT BASIN...
   HIGH BASED STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD
   OF APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH. SEVERE COVERAGE ATTM IS EXPECTED TO BE
   ISOLATED.
   
   ...LOWER/MID MS VALLEY REGION...
   THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP IN MOIST AIR MASS WITHIN 
   VERY WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. AIR MASS DOES APPEAR A LITTLE MORE
   STABLE THAN TUE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS MS...BUT PULSE TYPE SEVERE
   STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS
   NERN AR/SERN MO LATER TODAY AHEAD OF WEAK MCV.
