DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1132 AM CDT WED APR 17 2013

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS INTO TONIGHT FROM PORTIONS OF
THE SRN PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST...
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER
PARTS OF KY/TN...
...SYNOPSIS...
A POSITIVELY TILTED LONG-WAVE TROUGH FROM THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE
PROVINCES TO LOWER CO VALLEY WILL MOVE EWD THIS PERIOD IN RESPONSE
TO THE PROGRESSION OF A SERIES OF LOWER-AMPLITUDE PERTURBATIONS
THROUGH THE NERN PACIFIC. WITHIN THIS BROADER-SCALE PATTERN...A
MIDLEVEL JET STREAK AND ASSOCIATED VORTICITY MAXIMUM WITHIN THE
LONG-WAVE TROUGH BASE OVER THE LOWER CO VALLEY WILL REACH THE
CNTRL/SRN HIGH PLAINS LATER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...PRIOR TO
MOVING INTO THE MID MO VALLEY BY THURSDAY MORNING.
IN RESPONSE TO THESE UPPER-AIR DEVELOPMENTS...A LEE CYCLONE OVER
N-CNTRL NM WILL DEVELOP SEWD ALONG AN ASSOCIATED STATIONARY BOUNDARY
INTO NWRN TX BY 18/00Z BEFORE ACCELERATING NEWD INTO THE LOWER MO
VALLEY BY 18/12Z. THE BAROCLINIC ZONE ATTENDANT TO THIS MIGRATORY
CYCLONE WILL LIFT NWD THROUGH THE OZARKS AND LOWER MO/OH VALLEYS AS
A WARM FRONT. UNCERTAINTY STILL REMAINS ON THE EXACT LOCATION OF
THE WRN EXTENSION OF THIS BOUNDARY OVER THE SRN PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT WILL STRETCH FROM CNTRL
THROUGH SWRN OK INTO THE SRN TX PNHDL BY THE 17/21-18/00Z TIME
FRAME. A DRYLINE WILL MIX EWD THROUGH WRN TX TODAY...LIKELY
REACHING NWRN TX INTO THE TX BIG COUNTRY BY PEAK HEATING. BY
TONIGHT...EXPECT THE WRN EXTENSION OF THIS BOUNDARY TO SURGE SEWD
ACROSS WRN/CNTRL PARTS OF OK/TX AS A COLD FRONT.
...SRN/CNTRL PLAINS INTO THE OZARKS...
12Z OBSERVED SOUNDINGS SHOWED A POTENT COMBINATION OF RICH BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE /I.E. LOWEST 100-MB MEAN MIXING RATIOS OF 13-14 G PER
KG/ BENEATH A PRONOUNCED EML WHERE 700-500-MB LAPSE RATES WERE
APPROACHING 8.5-9.0 C/KM. WHERE STRONGER HEATING CAN OCCUR...THESE
PARAMETERS WILL YIELD A MODERATELY TO STRONGLY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR
BY AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPE VALUES APPROACHING 2000-3000 J/KG.
TODAY/S SEVERE WEATHER SCENARIO REMAINS COMPLICATED BY VARYING MODEL
SOLUTIONS ON FRONTAL PLACEMENT...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EARLY DAY
STORMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN APPARENT WEAK IMPULSE CURRENTLY
PROGRESSING NEWD THROUGH THE SRN PLAINS. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE
THAT INITIAL SURFACE-BASED STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR LATE THIS
MORNING OR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE RETREATING WARM FRONT OVER
ERN KS INTO MO. HERE...A RAPIDLY MOISTENING/DESTABILIZING AIR MASS
WILL COINCIDE WITH A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT...WHICH WILL BE
SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE HAIL...TORNADOES
/SOME POSSIBLY STRONG/...AND DAMAGING WINDS. SEE RECENTLY ISSUED
TORNADO WATCH 114 FOR DETAILS.
STORMS MAY GROW UPSCALE INTO CLUSTERS OR LINE SEGMENTS BY THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT WITH A CONTINUED RISK FOR DAMAGING
WINDS...HAIL...AND PERHAPS A FEW TORNADOES.
FARTHER SWWD ALONG THE FRONT FROM N-CNTRL OK INTO NWRN TX...STRONGER
CAPPING IS EXPECTED TO DELAY STORM INITIATION UNTIL LATER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EVENING WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF DEVELOPMENT
OCCURRING NEAR THE DRYLINE-FRONT TRIPLE POINT. DESPITE AN INITIAL
WEAKNESS IN FORECAST HODOGRAPHS IN THE 2.5-4 KM AGL LAYER...THE
ENVIRONMENT WILL BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF INTENSE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF
VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES /SOME POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT AND
LONG-TRACKED/. AN ENHANCED TORNADO THREAT IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
INTO TONIGHT ALONG THE I-44 CORRIDOR OF OK WHERE HODOGRAPHS WILL
GROW INCREASINGLY LARGE AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL REMAIN VERY
MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE.
STORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY CONSOLIDATE INTO A BROKEN LINE ALONG THE
SURGING COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT WITH A CONTINUED RISK FOR DAMAGING
WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND A FEW TORNADOES.
...SRN IA/NRN MO/IL INTO TONIGHT...
CLUSTERS OF ELEVATED TSTMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION WITH
ACTIVITY LIKELY BEING FORCED BY LOW-LEVEL WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT AT
THE TERMINUS OF A 40-50 KT LLJ...AND DCVA ATTENDANT TO A VORTICITY
MAXIMUM OVER CNTRL IA /PER RADAR DATA/. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO
CONTINUE EWD TODAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED RISK FOR LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS.
...PARTS OF KY/TN THROUGH THIS EVENING...
REGIONAL RADAR DATA INDICATE STORM REGENERATION OCCURRING FROM CNTRL
KY INTO NERN TN...ALONG THE WRN EDGE OF A RESIDUAL COLD POOL
ATTENDANT TO A NOCTURNAL MCS. MODIFICATION OF THE 12Z NASHVILLE
SOUNDING FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS INDICATES THAT THE AMBIENT
ENVIRONMENT IS ALREADY MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPE OF AROUND
2500 J/KG...WHICH SHOULD PROMOTE FURTHER STORM INTENSIFICATION.
THIS IS SUPPORTED BY 12Z CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE WHICH
DEVELOPS A SWWD/SWD-PROPAGATING MCS ACROSS THE REGION INTO THIS
EVENING. THOUGH VERTICAL SHEAR WILL REMAIN WEAK...THE DEGREE OF
INSTABILITY WILL FOSTER INTENSE UP/DOWNDRAFTS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING
WINDS AND SEVERE HAIL.

...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE IS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...
THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES /SOME POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT AND LONG
TRACKED/...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS OVER PARTS OF THE
SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
FAR WESTERN MISSOURI
MUCH OF OKLAHOMA
FAR NORTHERN TEXAS
ELSEWHERE...SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FROM CENTRAL TEXAS INTO
ILLINOIS...AS WELL AS ACROSS PARTS OF KY/TN.
WARM MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR AT THE SURFACE WILL ADVANCE NORTHWARD
INTO OKLAHOMA...MISSOURI...AND KANSAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS
SOUTHERLY WINDS STRENGTHEN IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER DISTURBANCE OVER
THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL
FORM THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS
UNSTABLE AIR MASS FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO EASTERN KANSAS AND
WESTERN MISSOURI. THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND A COUPLE OF TORNADOES.
FARTHER SOUTH OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN
TEXAS...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG
INSTABILITY AND INCREASING WINDS ALOFT WILL RESULT IN A THREAT FOR
VERY LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE
SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY LONG TRACKED INTO TONIGHT ALONG THE I-44
CORRIDOR OF OKLAHOMA. DURING THE OVERNIGHT...STORMS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE REGION WILL MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE WITH A CONTINUED THREAT
FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.
STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS DEVELOPING
SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE
WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA
WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER
TODAY.

AN AMPLIFIED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED FROM THE NRN PLAINS TO THE
SOUTHWEST AT 12Z/THU WILL PROGRESS EWD ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY TO
THE SRN PLAINS THROUGH EARLY FRI. A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE IMPULSE WILL
EJECT FROM THE CNTRL PLAINS TO WI/IL WITH AN INTENSE AND
STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL SPEED MAX /AOA 100 KT/ OVERSPREADING THE
MIDWEST. AT THE SURFACE...CYCLOGENESIS WILL CONTINUE FROM THE IA/IL
BORDER NEWD TOWARDS NRN LK MI. AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP
EWD LIKELY REACHING LK MI TO THE LOWER MS VALLEY BY THU EVENING. A
WARM FRONT WILL ATTEMPT TO ADVANCE NWD IN LOWER MI...WITH LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN HOW FAR N IT WILL EXTEND WITH ABUNDANT CONVECTION
EXPECTED N OF THE BOUNDARY.
...GREAT LAKES TO THE WRN/CNTRL GULF COAST...
FAIRLY EXTENSIVE BANDS OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE ONGOING AT 12Z/THU
ALONG BOTH FRONTAL ZONES. DIURNAL HEATING WITHIN A RICHLY MOIST AIR
MASS FROM THE WRN GULF INTO THE MIDWEST CHARACTERIZED BY 60S TO
LOWER 70S SURFACE DEW POINTS AMIDST A REMNANT EML PLUME EMANATING
N/NEWD ACROSS THE S-CNTRL CONUS...SHOULD RESULT IN A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR WITH MLCAPE REACHING 1000-2000 J/KG.
LOWER-LEVEL SHEAR/HODOGRAPHS WILL BE IMPRESSIVELY LARGE WITH NRN
EXTENT ACROSS THE BULK OF THE WARM SECTOR. THESE FACTORS COMBINED
WITH STRONGLY FORCED ASCENT WILL LIKELY YIELD AN EXTENSIVE QLCS THAT
WILL INTENSIFY AND INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED DURING THE LATE MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BOWING SEGMENTS AND EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS WILL
BE FAVORED...ESPECIALLY WITH NRN EXTENT GIVEN THE DEGREE OF SHEAR.
POTENTIAL WILL ALSO EXIST FOR DISCRETE SUPERCELLS DEVELOPING AHEAD

PREVALENT WITH SRN EXTENT WHERE LARGE-SCALE ASCENT WILL BE
PROGRESSIVELY WEAKER. SWATHS OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS APPEAR
PROBABLE ALONG WITH A ROBUST TORNADO RISK /SOME OF WHICH COULD BE

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN TX PANHANDLE/NWRN TX INTO
SWRN...CENTRAL...NERN OK...AND SERN KS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY
VALID 171809Z - 171945Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A TORNADO WATCH WILL BE COORDINATED THIS AFTERNOON FOR
AREAS INCLUDING NORTHWEST TX INTO SWRN...CENTRAL TO NERN OK AND SERN
KS.
WEST THROUGH NORTHWEST OF THE TORNADO WATCH THREAT AREA...ELEVATED
TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS W THROUGH NW OK AND SPREAD
INTO SRN KS. HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
DISCUSSION...TRENDS IN SURFACE MESOANALYSES INDICATED THE SURFACE
FRONT ORIENTED FROM SW-NE ACROSS OK HAS BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY...
EXTENDING FROM INVOF KLTS TO 10 N KOKC TO 35 N KCQB TO 20 W CNU.

EWD WITH THE TRIPLE POINT EVENTUALLY BECOMING ESTABLISHED IN NWRN
TX.
STRONG SURFACE HEATING ALONG AND S OF THE FRONTS IN NWRN TX AND E OF
THE DRY LINE ARE QUICKLY ERODING SURFACE INHIBITION FOR CONVECTIVE
INITIATION LIKELY OCCURRING INVOF HASKELL/STONEWALL COUNTIES WHERE
CU HAS BEEN GROWING DEEPER. MODIFIED 12Z SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
CONVECTIVE TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S WILL BREACH THE CAP AND SUPPORT
TSTM INITIATION ACROSS NWRN TX SOON. THIS SCENARIO IS SUPPORTED BY
THE 15Z RAP. STRONG TO VERY STRONG INSTABILITY AND STRENGTHENING
WIND FIELDS/DEEP LAYER AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS
WITH ALL FACETS OF SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY...INCLUDING TORNADOES.
FARTHER W/NW...TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP W OF THE SURFACE FRONT
IN OK...WITH THIS ACTIVITY REMAINING ELEVATED. THIS ACTIVITY IS
BEING SUPPORTED BY LOW LEVEL WAA AND DEEP LAYER ASCENT WITHIN THE

While the Oklahoma/NW Texas threat is very serious, my greatest concern is growing for Missouri and northeast Oklahoma. It's very unstable there and that warm front means business, they will have a strong low level jet to contend with this evening. Be alert in the show me state.

I have seen some concerns about lack of lifting mechanism. What do you think about the timing of this?

I think just around sunset as the bulk of the trough kicks out into the plains there will be plenty of lift. Areas to the west is closer proximity to the cold front which will likely undercut the storms (SW/SC Oklahoma) but in the areas mentioned above not so much so there will be a longer window of opportunity for discrete cells to traverse that warm front boundary well into the evening and night time hours.
