   DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK CORR 1
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0108 AM CDT THU SEP 21 2006
   
   VALID 211200Z - 221200Z
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
   CNTRL/SRN PLAINS AND OZARKS...
   
   CORRECTED FOR DAY OF WEEK
   
   ...CNTRL-SRN PLAINS AND OZARKS...
   POTENT UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE SRN ROCKIES WILL SPIN EWD
   TO KS BY THU AFTN...THEN DEAMPLIFY AS IT SWINGS NEWD INTO THE MO VLY
   BY 12Z FRIDAY. SFC LOW DEVELOPING OVER SERN CO WILL DEVELOP INTO KS
   ON THU WITH A DRYLINE/FRONT SWEEPING EWD ACROSS ERN KS...CNTRL/ERN
   OK AND CNTRL TX DURING THE AFTN/EVE.  A WARM FRONT...MARKING THE
   LEADING EDGE OF MORE QUALITY BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...WILL BEGIN TO
   LIFT NWD THROUGH ERN TX AND THE LWR MS VLY THU AND THU NIGHT.  
   
   CONVECTION AND CLOUDS ASSOCD WITH A WARM CONVEYOR WILL BE ONGOING
   FROM N TX NWD INTO KS AND NEB AT THE START OF THE PERIOD.  THIS
   CONVEYOR SHOULD SHIFT EWD INTO THE OZARKS BY AFTN...WITH POTENTIAL
   FOR CLEARING TO DEVELOP UPSTREAM AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING DRYLINE/
   FRONT. 
   
   MODIFIED GULF MOISTURE CHARACTERIZED BY SFC DEW POINTS IN THE 50S
   WILL ADVECT OR BE MAINTAINED ACROSS CNTRL AND ERN SECTIONS OF KS/OK
   THROUGH THU AFTN.  MORE ROBUST MOISTURE /DEW POINTS IN THE 60S TO
   LWR 70S/ WILL ARRIVE ACROSS NERN TX...SERN OK AND SWRN AR LATE THU
   AFTN/EVE. 
   
   STRONGEST LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCD WITH THE APPROACHING
   SYSTEM /SWLY H5 JET 75+ KTS/ WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS KS/NRN OK WHERE
   INSTABILITY WILL BE TEMPERED BY MODEST MOISTURE.  MAGNITUDE OF
   FORCING...HOWEVER...MAY COMPENSATE AND TSTMS WILL LIKELY INITIATE
   EARLY THU AFTN FROM CNTRL KS SWD INTO CNTRL OK.  VERTICAL SHEAR WILL
   BE SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS.  THE STRONG FORCING WILL LIKELY RESULT
   IN SHORT LINE SEGMENTS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE
   PRIMARY THREAT AS THE STORMS MOVE INTO ERN KS AND NERN OK BY THU
   EVE.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL PROBABLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO MO...BUT
   STRONG LLJ AND STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW MAY MAINTAIN AT LEAST AN ISOLD
   SEVERE THREAT OVERNIGHT INTO CNTRL/ERN MO.
   
   FARTHER S...00Z MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE SRN EXTENT OF AFTN TSTM
   DEVELOPMENT MAY GROW UPSCALE INTO A SMALL MCS THU NIGHT FROM SERN OK
   AND NERN TX INTO AR.  THIS REGION WILL BE ALONG SRN PERIPHERY OF
   STRONGER HEIGHT FALLS AND NRN EDGE OF RETURNING TROPICAL MOISTURE
   REGIME.  FORECAST KINEMATIC PROFILES ARE QUITE SUPPORTIVE FOR
   SUPERCELLS AND ISOLD TORNADOES COULD OCCUR WITH THE MORE DISCRETE
   CELLS ACROSS SERN OK...EXTREME NERN TX AND PARTS OF SWRN AR. 
   OTHERWISE...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE LIKELY.
