NEB...MUCH OF IA AND SERN MN...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE CNTRL PLAINS...MID AND
UPPER MS VALLEY...SERN STATES AND UPPER OH VALLEY...

...CNTRL PLAINS THROUGH MID AND UPPER MS VALLEY AREA...

EARLY THIS EVENING A WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM E-CNTRL SD THROUGH SRN
MN...NERN IA AND NRN IL. SECONDARY QUASISTATIONARY/WARM FRONT EXISTS
FARTHER SOUTH FROM NRN KS EWD THROUGH N-CNTRL MO. DRYLINE/TROUGH
STRETCHES FROM WRN TX NWD THROUGH SWRN KS. A RESERVOIR OF STRONG
INSTABILITY EXISTS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF SRN MOST WARM FRONT
FROM SRN NEB ESEWD THROUGH NERN KS AND CNTRL MO AS WELL AS ACROSS IA
INTO SRN MN. THIS VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WAS SAMPLED BY THE 00Z
TOP SOUNDING THAT INDICATES SURFACE TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 WITH A
WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER /74F DEWPOINTS/ BENEATH 7.5 C/KM MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES RESULTING IN 5000-6000 J/KG MLCAPE.

STORMS INCLUDING DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
DEVELOPING ACROSS NEB...IA...SRN SD AND SRN MN INTO MO THROUGH THE
EVENING MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF WARM FRONT AS THE SLY LOW LEVEL
JET STRENGTHENS AND AUGMENTS ISENTROPIC LIFT AND WARM ADVECTION.
STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL ALSO BE AIDED BY MID LEVEL ASCENT RESULTING
FROM IMPULSES EJECTING NEWD INTO THE PLAINS FROM TROUGH OVER THE WRN
STATES. THIS REGION WILL REMAIN WITHIN BELT OF 40-50 KT MID LEVEL
FLOW THAT IS RESULTING IN BULK SHEAR MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR
SUPERCELLS AND OTHER ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURES. VERY LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADOES WILL REMAIN PROBABLE THIS EVENING WITH SUPERCELLS
DEVELOPING ALONG AND NORTH OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES WHERE 0-1 KM HODOGRAPHS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF LOW LEVEL
MESOCYCLONES. OVERNIGHT...STORMS MAY CONSOLIDATE INTO ONE OR MORE
MCSS WITH AN INCREASING THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND.

A COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM N CNTRL OH SWWD THROUGH SRN IND WITH A
PRE-FRONTAL CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY FROM ERN OH SWWD THROUGH SWRN KY.
SCATTERED STORMS INCLUDING A FEW SUPERCELLS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG AND
EAST OF THESE BOUNDARIES WITHIN A ZONE OF DEEP ASCENT ASSOCIATED
WITH SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING EWD THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER
OH VALLEY. THE ATMOSPHERE IS MODERATELY UNSTABLE IN THIS REGION WITH
BULK SHEAR OF 40-50 KT FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS. ISOLATED TORNADOES
WILL ALSO REMAIN POSSIBLE NEXT FEW HOURS GIVEN STORM RELATIVE
HELICITY OF 200-300 M2/S2 ALONG LOW LEVEL JET AXIS.


...TN VALLEY...

STORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE DEVELOPING NEXT FEW HOURS WITHIN NWLY
FLOW REGIME WHERE 00Z RAOB DATA FROM NASHVILLE INDICATES STRONG
INSTABILITY /3000+ MLCAPE/ AND UNIDIRECTIONAL BULK SHEAR OF AROUND
35 KT. SUPERCELLS ALONG WITH CLUSTERS OR BOWING SEGMENTS WILL REMAIN
PROBABLE WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN
