   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
   THE HIGH PLAINS...AND FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO PARTS OF THE
   OZARKS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday across much
   of the High Plains, South Dakota and Nebraska. A few strong storms
   are also possible over parts of Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma,
   extending northeastward into Tennessee.

   ...Synopsis...
   Heights will rise over the northern Plains and Great Lakes as an
   upper trough shifts northeast across Ontario and Quebec. Meanwhile,
   another upper trough will pivot southeastward across the Pacific
   Northwest, ID and MT.

   At the surface, a lee trough will develop from MT all the way south
   into west TX, with moderately cool temperatures aloft remaining
   across the High plains beneath weak westerlies aloft.

   To the east, substantial storms/residual MCS may be ongoing across
   the mid MO and OH Valleys, and much of this activity may persist to
   some extent from the TN Valley to the Ozarks.

   ...TN Valley westward across AR and eastern OK...
   Low-predictability strong to severe storm potential may develop
   during the day across this region, related to possible
   southward-moving outflow from the Monday MCS across the Midwest.
   Model consensus is for Monday night storms to produce substantial
   outflow across MO and IL, with outflow surging south/southwest
   during the day. The air mass ahead of this lifting mechanism will be
   moist and unstable, and will favor mainly strong to marginally
   severe wind gusts. Severe probabilities in this region will likely
   be adjusted spatially in later outlooks as predictability increases.


   ...Central and southern High Plains...
   Heating near the lee-trough and backed/southeast surface winds
   maintaining moisture will result in an axis of > 2000 J/kg SBCAPE
   from northeast WY into the TX Panhandle. While low to mid level
   winds will not be particularly strong, they will veer with height,
   resulting in hodographs favorable for a few longer lived cells
   capable of large hail. Eastward extent of the severe threat will be
   limited by MLCIN increasing during the evening.

   ...SD/NE...
   Strong heating over western SD along with moisture returning
   northwestward late will result in profiles conditionally favorable
   for severe storms. While capping will exist over central SD/NE
   initially, storms should form in the hot air over the Black Hills,
   then persist east/southeast during the evening, aided by a low-level
   jet. Damaging winds and hail will be possible, and if MCS potential
   increases in later outlooks, an upgrade to Slight Risk may become
   necessary.
