...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA...EASTERN KANSAS...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...NORTHERN
AND WESTERN MISSOURI...SOUTHERN IOWA...AND PARTS OF WESTERN ILLINOIS
AS WELL AS ACROSS OHIO/PENNSYLVANIA...
CORRECTED FOR ENHANCED RISK HEADLINE
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms, capable of producing large hail, damaging wind and a
few tornadoes, are possible Tuesday from the central Plains vicinity
eastward to the Midwest. Severe storms with large hail, damaging
wind and a couple of tornadoes are also expected from the Ohio
Valley into a portion of the Northeast States Tuesday afternoon and
early evening.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough/low over the West will make slow eastward progress
toward/into the Plains today. Meanwhile, a large ridge will remain
over the Southeast; between the two features, a belt of enhanced
west-northwesterly flow aloft will remain over the Ohio Valley and
Northeast.
At the surface, a weak low is progged to cross the Lower Great Lakes
and Northeast, eventually departing the New England coast overnight.
Trailing westward, a quasi-stationary front should become aligned
west-to-east across the Ohio Valley states, and westward to the
central Plains. Here, a frontal low is progged to move slowly east
across Kansas, while a cold front trailing from the low advances
southeastward across Kansas/Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle.
...Central Plains/Oklahoma east to the mid Mississippi Valley...
Ongoing storms are forecast to be moving eastward across the mid
Missouri Valley and then into/across Iowa through the morning, with
likelihood that outflow reinforces the west-to-east front lying
across the area. As the aforementioned/weak surface low crosses
Kansas and the trailing cold front shifts slowly southeastward, this
boundary -- and the convectively reinforced front extending east
across the northern Missouri/southern Iowa vicinity -- should serve
as foci for new afternoon storm development.
With a moist/moderately unstable airmass progged across the warm
sector, and favorably strong/veering flow with height anticipated,
organized/rotating storms -- and associated, all-hazard severe risk
-- will likely evolve through the afternoon, most concentrated near
the outflow and then likely in a more isolated manner southward into
the southern Plains. Development may extend as far southwest as the
Concho Valley vicinity in Texas, though most likely after dark.
Greatest tornado risk is expected near the outflow boundary, during
the afternoon and evening, with threat likely transitioning to
include damaging winds as convection grows upscale into the
overnight hours. This risk should spread across the mid Mississippi
Valley into the Midwest through the end of the period.
...Ohio to New Jersey...
Convection and associated cloud cover is progged to be ongoing
across portions of the risk area at the start of the period, ahead
of a surface low moving slowly east across the Lake Erie vicinity.
The convection should move eastward/diminish through midday,
allowing some heating/destabilization to occur -- fueling new storm
development, likely by early afternoon. Storms development may be
focused by the presence of remnant outflow associated with the
earlier storms, though coherence -- and location -- of this possible
boundary remains uncertain, dependent upon evolution of the ongoing
convection.
With fast/weakly veering west to west-northwesterly flow with height
progged atop the region, clusters of organized/fast-moving storms
are expected to evolve. At this time, damaging winds would appear
to be the primary severe risk, along with hail. Tornado threat
should be somewhat limited by only modest veering of the flow with
height, but ample low-level speed shear suggests low-probability
tornado risk during the afternoon.
With regeneration of successive bands of storms possible, within the
west-northwesterly flow regime, severe risk will likely linger
through the evening and possibly into the overnight hours.
