...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS/MISSOURI VALLEY AND MID MISSISSIPPI/OHIO VALLEY
REGION...
CORRECTED FOR TEXT
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms, with hail, wind, and a few
tornadoes, are expected from parts of the central Plains to the
Missouri Valley. Other isolated severe storms may be noted across
the mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. A few tornadoes and some wind
damage are possible.
...Central Plains/Missouri Valley...
Strong short-wave trough, currently located over CO/NM, is forecast
to shift into KS later today with intense 12hr mid-level height
falls expected to spread across the central Plains. This feature
will force a pronounced surface low into central KS by 18z and
substantial surface heating ahead of the front should contribute to
strong buoyancy arcing from southeastern KS into north-central KS
just north of the surface low. Forecast soundings exhibit MLCAPE
values in excess of 3000 J/kg across this region with minimal
inhibition by early afternoon. Latest thinking is scattered
supercells should develop immediately ahead of the surface low,
within a focused exit region of 80kt+ 500mb jet. Convection is
expected to initiate by 19-20z then spread east along the KS/NE
border region as strong large-scale forcing for ascent spreads
toward the MO Valley. NAM forecast soundings strongly favor
supercells with wind profiles supportive of tornadoes. Some
consideration was given to increasing tornado probs along the NE/KS
border where favorably backed low-level inflow will likely enhance
shear. Otherwise, very large hail and damaging winds appear possible
with these afternoon storms.
...Remnants of Cristobal...
Remnants of Cristobal are advancing north across the mid-South
region into MO early this morning. Circulation center should track
across eastern MO toward southwestern WI by early evening. While
poor lapse rates will necessarily limit buoyancy across the mid
MS/OH Valleys, strong LLJ should translate across IL toward southern
Lake MI by 10/00z. Showers/thunderstorms that form within this flow
regime may exhibit low-level rotation and a few tornadoes are
possible with the most robust updrafts.
...South TX...
Pre-frontal wind shift will surge across TX to near the Balcones
Escarpment by 18z, then settle into south-central TX during the
late-evening hours. Strong surface heating near the boundary should
weaken the cap and a few thunderstorms may ultimately develop along
the wind shift. With temperatures warming to near 100F, high-based
convection could generate isolated severe wind gusts and hail.
Operational NAM suggests frontal forcing during the overnight hours
will contribute to additional storms that would propagate toward
deep-south TX.
