   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE OZARKS INTO THE MID MS VALLEY AND MIDWEST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms capable of producing isolated strong/gusty winds and
   perhaps a tornado or two may occur Tuesday across parts of the
   Ozarks, mid Mississippi Valley, and Midwest.

   ...Ozarks to the Mid Mississippi Valley and Midwest...
   A shortwave trough will progress northeastward Tuesday from the
   central Plains across the mid/upper MS Valley and Great Lakes,
   eventually reaching Ontario by the end of the period. At the
   surface, a low initially over northern MO should deepen as it also
   develops northeastward into WI by Tuesday evening. A trailing cold
   front is forecast to sweep eastward across portions of the Ozarks,
   mid MS Valley, Midwest, and Great Lakes through the period.

   Most guidance suggests that at least low 60s surface dewpoints
   should be present across the mid MS Valley and Midwest ahead of the
   cold front and surface low. However, mid-level lapse rates should
   remain poor, and this will probably tend to limit instability, with
   up to 500 J/kg of MLCAPE possible mainly due to modest diurnal
   heating. Strong low and mid-level winds are expected as the
   shortwave trough overspreads these regions. Pre-frontal forecast
   soundings across the warm sector show ample low-level and deep-layer
   shear, which should support some storm organization. A low-topped
   convective line capable of producing isolated strong/gusty winds and
   occasional damage appears to be the main threat through the early
   evening. But, given 0-1 km SRH of 100-200+ m2/s2 that should be
   present along/ahead of this line, a tornado or two may also occur.
   This tornado threat may be relatively maximized near the deepening
   surface low across far eastern IA into northern IL and southern WI
   Tuesday afternoon, where low-level winds could acquire a more
   southerly component and locally enhance 0-1 km SRH. Regardless, too
   much uncertainty exists regarding the degree of instability and
   related storm intensities to include greater severe probabilities
   across this area at this time.
