   ...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS SE NEB...SRN IA...NW

   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS...CNTRL
   PLAINS...UPPER MIDWEST...OH VALLEY...TN VALLEY AND SRN GREAT
   LAKES...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND
   STATES...
   
   ...THE SETUP LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR A WIDESPREAD AND SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
   WEATHER OUTBREAK ACROSS THE LOWER MO VALLEY AND MID MS VALLEY
   TODAY...
   
   ...LOWER MO VALLEY/MID MS VALLEY/CNTRL PLAINS/SRN PLAINS...
   A PROGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER THE FOUR CORNERS
   REGION WILL MOVE QUICKLY ENEWD INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS TODAY. A
   LOW-LEVEL JET WILL CAUSE RAPID MOISTURE TRANSPORT ACROSS THE CNTRL
   PLAINS WITH LOWER 70 F SFC DEWPOINTS LIKELY REACHING ERN NEB AND SRN
   IA BY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL RESULT IN EXTREME INSTABILITY WITH
   MLCAPE VALUES REACHING 5000 J/KG IN THE KC AREA. AS THE SHORTWAVE
   COMES OUT ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS...THE MID-LEVEL JET ASSOCIATED
   WITH THE SYSTEM WILL PUNCH EWD...SPREADING STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR
   ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST. THIS WILL SETUP A
   FAVORABLE PATTERN FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK TODAY.
   
   FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR SRN IA AND NRN MO LOOK IMPRESSIVE FOR THIS
   AFTERNOON WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND 55 TO 65 KT OF
   DEEP LAYER SHEAR. THIS COMBINED WITH THE EXTREME INSTABILITY WILL
   LIKELY BE FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS. THE ETA AND GFS ARE IN
   GOOD AGREEMENT BACKING SFC WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS NRN MO AND
   SERN IA. THIS WILL CREATE STRONGLY VEERED LOW-LEVEL WIND PROFILES
   (0-3 KM SRH OF 400-500 M2/S2). ANY STORMS THAT FORM IN THE HIGHER
   INSTABILITY ALONG THE WEST EDGE OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET IN THE BACKED
   SFC FLOW WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TORNADOES WITH EVEN A
   VIOLENT TORNADO POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH RISK AREA.
   
   AS THE UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES RAPIDLY EWD...A GRADUAL TRANSITION
   TO A LINEAR STRUCTURE SHOULD OCCUR AND THE WIND DAMAGE POTENTIAL
   SHOULD DRAMATICALLY INCREASE AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES IN THE
   EVENING. A SWATH OF VERY HIGH WINDS SHOULD OCCUR ACROSS THE HIGH
   RISK AREA CONSIDERING THE EXTREME INSTABILITY AND HIGH LOW-LEVEL
   MOISTURE CONTENT AND VERY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. A VERY LARGE
   HAIL THREAT WILL ALSO EXIST ACROSS WRN IA/ERN NEB AND KS AS A PLUME
   OF VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES PUNCHES EWD INTO THE CNTRL
   PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
   
   THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS AN MCS FEEDS OFF
   OF THE STRONG INSTABILITY...MOVING INTO THE OZARK PLATEAU LATE
   TONIGHT.
   
   
   ...NEW ENGLAND STATES...
   
   A SFC LOW AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM WEST TO
   EAST ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. IN ADDITION...AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
   WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST WHICH WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT
   FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND
   STATES BY AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW MODERATE INSTABILITY
   (MLCAPE VALUES OF 2000 TO 3000 J/KG) AND 50 TO 60 KT OF DEEP LAYER
   SHEAR WHICH WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS. THE MAIN THREAT WILL
   BE WIND DAMAGE CONSIDERING THE 0-2 KM LAPSE RATES SHOULD EXCEED 9.0
   C/KM BY 21Z. AN ISOLATED TORNADO MAY ALSO OCCUR ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
   WARM FRONTAL SFC BOUNDARY AS IT LIFTS NEWD ACROSS ERN NY INTO MA
   DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON.
   
   
   ...OH AND TN VALLEY...
   
   A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS THE OH
   VALLEY AND THIS WILL BE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TODAY.
   MODEL FORECASTS DEVELOP MODERATE INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL
   BOUNDARY WHICH WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS. FORECAST
   SOUNDINGS SHOW 500 MB WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE REGION AROUND 40 KT AND
   THIS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEWD MOVING SUPERCELLS. VEERED SFC WINDS
   AND WEAKENING LOW-LEVEL FLOW DURING THE DAY WILL FAVOR WIND DAMAGE
   OR HAIL AS THE PRIMARY THREAT. AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS THIS
   EVENING...THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD GRADUALLY DECREASE ACROSS THE
   REGION.
