   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0241 PM CDT Sun Apr 01 2018

   Valid 012000Z - 021200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are possible over the Ozarks and Mid Mississippi
   Valley, as well as over parts of central Florida.

   ...Discussion...

   No appreciable changes to thunder probabilities are warranted.

   Scattered elevated convection continues across southern MO within
   favored warm advection zone. This activity should spread toward the
   confluence of the OH/MS Rivers as westerly flow will maintain
   sufficiently steep lapse rate environment into this region.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1117 AM CDT Sun Apr 01 2018/

   ...Oklahoma/Kansas into the Mid Mississippi Valley...
   A well-defined shortwave trough over WY/CO will track eastward
   across the central Plains and into the mid MS Valley later tonight. 
   Lift ahead of this system will result in scattered showers and
   isolated thunderstorms from parts of eastern KS/OK eastward into
   western KY/TN.  Forecast soundings suggest that lightning activity
   will be quite limited, but elevated CAPE may be sufficient for
   charge separation in the strongest cells.
