[Ed Mahmoud]

New SWODY bumps North Oklahoma/South Kansas near I-35 in a 10% tornado risk, not hatched.


Otherwise, no huge change.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1109 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008

VALID 261630Z - 271200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER
PARTS OF SOUTHWEST KS...THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE...AND NORTHWEST
OK.......

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM PARTS OF TX...ACROSS THE
MID MS AND OH VALLEYS...NY/PA......

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER PARTS OF SOUTHERN WY SWD
INTO CENTRAL CO.....

...SYNOPSIS...
WRN UPPER LOW FINALLY OPENING UP AND MOVING NEWD ACROSS CENTRAL
ROCKIES TODAY AS TROUGH DEVELOPS OFF CA COAST. LARGE SURFACE HIGH
BUILDING INTO NCENTRAL U.S. WILL PROVIDE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW SWD
THRU ERN WY/CO. COLD FRONT FROM GREAT LAKES WSWWD THRU IA TO ERN CO
WILL CONTINUE E AND SE EXTENDING FROM LOWER GREAT LAKES WSWWD TO
CENTRAL KS/SERN CO BY TONIGHT. THE LARGE RESERVOIR OF VERY UNSTABLE
AIR CENTRAL U.S. ON SUNDAY HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY EXHAUSTED BY THE
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OF THE PAST 24 HOURS. HOWEVER SLY FLOW OF
UNDISTURBED GULF MOISTURE CONTINUES TO FLOW NWD THRU SRN PLAINS TO S
OF FRONT AND THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AS FAR N AS KS.

...OK/TX/KS...
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION HAS RESULTED IN AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ANALYZED AT
15Z FROM CENTRAL KS SEWD THRU ERN OK. VERY MOIST AIR CONTINUES TO
FLOW NWD OVER OK INTO SRN KS TO W OF BOUNDARY. A WELL-DEFINED
DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT TODAY FROM SOUTHWEST KS INTO THE
EASTERN TX PANHANDLE...WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 90S WEST OF
THE DRYLINE AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO THE EAST. THIS WILL
RESULT IN AN AXIS OF VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WITH MLCAPE VALUES
OVER 3000 J/KG AND A RATHER WEAK CAP. PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT
CONVECTION WILL INTENSIFY BY MID AFTERNOON ALONG THE DRYLINE FROM
THE TX PANHANDLE TO THE TRIPLE POINT WITH THE E/W COLD FRONT OVER
SOUTHWEST KS. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF
VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND TORNADOES. STORMS WILL
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING AND EVENTUALLY
COALESCE INTO AN MCS THAT SHOULD TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL KS AND NORTHERN OK. THIS AREA MAY SEE AN ENHANCED THREAT OF
MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS.

...CENTRAL ROCKIES...
UPSLOPE FLOW OF COOL/MOIST AIR HAS SPREAD INTO SRN WY AND TO E OF CO
ROCKIES. IMPRESSIVE VEERING SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE IN PLACE FROM
SRN WY SWD ALONG CO FRONT RANGE AS THE WRN TROUGH APPROACHES. THE
HIGH PLAINS OF ERN WY/CO EXPECTED TO REMAIN COOL AND MOSTLY CAPPED
TO STRONG SURFACE BASED CONVECTION. HOWEVER ACROSS SRN WY AND THEN
SWD TO W OF THE CO FRONT RANGE...SATELLITE INDICATES THERE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT HEATING TO SUPPORT SURFACE BASED STORMS. STEEP...COOL
LAPSE RATES WILL LEAD TO SBCAPE UPWARDS TO 500 J/KG SCENTRAL WY.
WITH 50-60 KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR ALONG WITH THE LOW LEVEL VEERING WITH
THE ELY UPSLOPE FLOW...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING
STORMS. GIVEN THE MARGINAL INSTABILITY SEVERE THREAT WILL BE LIMITED
TO HAIL AND LOCAL STRONG WINDS PARTICULARLY WITH ANY STORM THAT IS
ABLE TO ROTATE. AN ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE SRN WY.

..MID MS AND OH VALLEYS...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE EWD FROM THE MID MS VALLEY
THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PROGRESS EASTWARD
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON INTO THE OH VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES
REGION. WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS AND INSTABILITY ARE CURRENTLY LOWER
IN THIS AREA...12Z ILN SOUNDING SUGGESTS THAT MOISTURE ABOVE THE
SURFACE WILL MIX DOWN AS DAYTIME HEATING OCCURS...HELPING TO
DESTABILIZE THE AIR MASS. STORMS WILL LIKELY INTENSIFY BY MID
AFTERNOON WITH A RISK OF HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AS FAR EAST AS
NY/PA.

OVERALL EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO REMAIN SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED
THIS AREA GIVEN THERE IS GENERALLY LESS THAN 35KT OF DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES RANGE FROM 6-7C/KM.

1210 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2008

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF AR/TN/KY/MS/AL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 261710Z - 261815Z

ONGOING CONVECTION ORIENTED IN 2 NNE TO SSW LINES IN KY/TN ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EWD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL
GENERALLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HEAVY
RAINFALL AND DMGG WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS.

TWO BROKEN LINES OF CONVECTION HAVE CONTINUED TO PROGRESS EWD THIS
MORNING. THE EASTERN-MOST LINE IS BEING SUSTAINED BY A CONVERGENT
LINE AHEAD OF A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH. THE WESTERN MOST LINE HAS
ORIENTED ALONG AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION OVERNIGHT.
HIGHER THETA-E AIRMASS TO THE S WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT NWD IN
PRIMARILY SLY FLOW...HELPING TO SUSTAIN ONGOING CONVECTION.
ADDITIONALLY...CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO BUILD SWD INTO NRN
MS/AL AS EVIDENCED ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. COOLING CLOUD TOPS
ON IR AND INCREASING T/TD AHEAD OF THE LINES SUGGESTS THAT
INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. RELATIVELY WEAK MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES/FLOW AND SHEAR WILL SOMEWHAT LIMIT HAIL POTENTIAL.
EXPECT MAIN THREAT TO BE DMGG WINDS AS LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
STEEPEN. DEEP MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NEWD INTO THESE
AREAS...SUPPORTING HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING.

[Brent]

What happened to all the tornado reports on the spc for the 25th? They are showing no tornados reported. (Brent can vouch for this!)

Must have been a glitch, it's back up now.

[KWT]

I see the moderate risk has been added again, very interesting to see, I've got a feeling we are going to have yet ANOTHER active day!

[Ed Mahmoud]

Not super-high probs for tornadoes, but high enough for a watch...

Tornadoes
Probability of 2 or more tornadoes
Mod (40%)


Probability of 1 or more strong (F2-F5) tornadoes
Low (20%)



Wind
Probability of 10 or more severe wind events
Mod (30%)


Probability of 1 or more wind events > 65 knots
Mod (30%)



Hail
Probability of 10 or more severe hail events
Mod (50%)


Probability of 1 or more hailstones > 2 inches
Mod (50%)


Combined Severe Hail/Wind
Probability of 6 or more combined severe hail/wind events
High (80%)

DISCUSSION...WITH LITTLE REMAINING CINH AND A VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS
TO E OF DRY LINE FROM SWRN KS SSWWD THRU TX PANHANDLE...SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP RAPIDLY. WITH 30-40KT OF DEEP
LAYER SHEAR COUPLED WITH MLCAPES AOA 3000 J/KG...SUPERCELLS ARE
LIKELY. GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ACROSS S CENTRAL KS
WHERE ENHANCED SHEAR WILL BE AVAILABLE.

[Bunkertor]

What about the surveys for the past days. Is there enough manpower to do the work ?

[CrazyC83]

What about the surveys for the past days. Is there enough manpower to do the work ?

Not all at once, especially on a holiday weekend when they would be under-staffed.

[Bunkertor]

So, will they be able to discover 80 % of the impact sites - especially in less populated areas ?

[CrazyC83]

So, will they be able to discover 80 % of the impact sites - especially in less populated areas ?

Probably they'll get to the big ones today, then the lesser impact sites over the next week or so.
