...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS/MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the Central Plains
and Middle Missouri River Valley on Thursday, with other
strong/severe thunderstorms possible across the southern High Plains
and from the Ozarks to the Mid-Atlantic region.
...Central Plains and Middle/Lower Missouri Valley...
Guidance variability still exists in the Day 2 time frame, much of
which is a byproduct of potential MCS development tonight (Wednesday
night). Regardless, a severe risk is still probable particularly
across parts of Nebraska/South Dakota, which would be on the western
fringes of any convection/outflow/cold pool influences that linger
Thursday morning. Regardless, the region will be influenced by a
moderately strong belt of low-amplitude westerlies. A relatively
moist/potentially unstable air mass is expected to materialize near
a surface low/front along the South Dakota/Nebraska border vicinity
and along/east of a southward-extending surface trough across
west-central portions of Nebraska and Kansas.
Surface-based convective development appears most likely to occur by
mid/late afternoon across northeast Nebraska into southeast South
Dakota. Steep lapse rates, moderate to strong buoyancy (2000-3500
J/kg MLCAPE) in the presence of 40 kt effective shear will be
favorable for supercells capable of large hail and possibly some
tornado risk. One or more southeastward-moving forward-propagating
clusters of storms could evolve during the evening and spread
east-southeastward across the region with a wind/hail threat.
...Southern High Plains...
At least isolated high-based thunderstorms are expected to develop
within the hot/well-mixed boundary layer near a surface trough.
Adequate moisture and moderate buoyancy will support the possibility
of stronger storms, with some organization/sustenance possible aided
by strengthening mid-level northwesterly winds. Isolated severe
hail/wind appears possible including western portions of
Kansas/Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle/northwest Texas particularly
during the late afternoon and evening hours.
...Central/Southern Appalachians to Mid-Atlantic States...
Near/south of a front across these regions, moderate instability may
develop particularly across parts of Virginia/Delmarva Thursday
afternoon. Deep-layer shear will not be strong, but 20-25 kt
mid-level westerlies are expected to overlie much of the frontal
corridor. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible, with wind
damage as the primary hazard. A categorical Slight Risk could
eventually be warranted for parts of the region.
