    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
    AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN DAKOTAS INTO
    ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NEBRASKA...
    ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible across
    the northern Plains late this afternoon and evening, particularly
    across parts of the central Dakotas, where a few storms may become
    capable of producing very large hail and strong wind gusts.
    ...Synopsis... Models indicate that much of the Intermountain
    West and Rockies, into the southern Plains, will remain under
    the influence of mid/upper subtropical ridging, centered over the
    Four Corners states. While lingering moisture beneath the ridge
    may once again support scattered diurnal thunderstorm activity
    across the Mogollon Rim vicinity, Wasatch, and southern Rockies,
    weak perturbations progressing around the periphery of the ridge
    may contribute to widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms across
    the northern intermountain region and northern Rockies into portions
    of the northern and central Plains.
    Downstream of the ridging, the remnants of initial weak mid-level
    troughing are forecast to accelerate northeast of the Atlantic
    Seaboard. A preceding plume of tropical moisture will continue
    advecting through the western Atlantic, although it may still trail
    back into the Florida Peninsula, where scattered diurnal thunderstorm
    activity appears likely. Despite low/mid-level drying in the wake of
    the troughing, weak residual low-level moisture may remain sufficient
    to support isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm activity across
    the Gulf and mid/south Atlantic coast region, with daytime heating,
    in the presence of relatively weak inhibition.
    Meanwhile, it appears that larger-scale troughing east of the
    Mississippi Valley into the Atlantic Seaboard may be reinforced
    by a digging/amplifying perturbation across parts of the middle
    Mississippi into lower Ohio Valley, today through tonight.
    Forcing for ascent associated with this feature may contribute
    to thunderstorm development along/south of an initial southward
    advancing cold front, which is expected to reach the lower Great
    Lakes and middle Mississippi Valley by 12Z this morning, before
    continue into southern New England/northern Mid Atlantic coastal
    areas and the Ohio Valley by daybreak Wednesday.
    While blocking remains prominent within the mid/upper flow over
    the mid-latitude eastern Pacific into the Gulf of Alaska vicinity,
    a long fetch of northwesterly flow is expected to persist across
    Alaska and the Canadian Rockies, into the central Canadian/U.S.
    border vicinity. Within this regime, it does appear that another
    significant short wave trough will dig across the central Canadian
    provinces, with a deepening embedded closed low. Stronger forcing
    for ascent likely will remain north of the Canadian/U.S. border
    through much of this period, but an associated surface cold front
    is forecast to advance south of the international border and may
    provide a focus for increasing thunderstorm development tonight.
    ...Northern Plains... Moderate to strong northwesterly mid/upper
    flow (including 30-50 kt at 500 mb) likely will contribute to strong
    deep layer shear ahead of the cold front advancing across and south
    of the international border, and within pre-frontal troughing across
    the central Dakotas by late afternoon. Primary uncertainties with
    regard to severe weather potential concern forcing for convective
    development, and to a lesser extent boundary-layer destabilization
    in the wake of a preceding surface front.
    It does appear that there will be a narrow corridor of modest
    moisture return on southerly low-level flow, east of the surface
    troughing across the Dakotas during the day, and northeastward
    ahead of the cold front into northern Minnesota by tonight.
    This is expected to contribute to CAPE at least on the order
    of 1000-2000 J/kg, with daytime heating, with some guidance
    indicating even greater destabilization is possible. Even so,
    most guidance indicates that mid/upper support for the initiation
    of late afternoon/evening thunderstorm activity will likely be
    associated with a subtle mid-level impulse rounding the periphery of
    the subtropical ridge. The extent to which forcing associated with
    such a feature can support convective development remains unclear.
    Based on a consensus of model output, convective initiation
    seems most probable within pre-frontal troughing, perhaps near a
    developing thermal low, over parts of southwestern into south central
    North Dakota by late this afternoon, before tending to propagate
    southeastward and southward through portions of central/eastern
    South Dakota this evening. Given wind profiles with generally
    small low-level hodographs, but strong deep-layer shear, a few
    supercells are possible, which may pose a risk for large to very
    large hail and strong surface gusts, before convection wanes with
    the loss of heating this evening.
    With stronger destabilization, there may be at least some potential
    for the evolution of an upscale growing, organized convective system
    and southward development into Nebraska this evening/overnight,
    accompanied by severe wind/hail potential. However, at this point, probabilities for this still appear low.
    ...Mid Mississippi/Ohio Valley into lower Great Lakes... Wind
    fields and shear are expected to be generally weak, but moderate
    boundary-layer destabilization along/ahead of the lead southward
    advancing front may contribute to considerable thunderstorm
    development this afternoon and evening, some of which may pose a
    risk for potentially damaging wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF WI...SOUTHEAST MN...EASTERN IA AND NORTHWEST IL...
    ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms may produce large hail and
    locally damaging wind gusts across portions of the Upper Midwest
    on Wednesday. Additional strong thunderstorms may produce areas
    of strong wind gusts across portions of the Carolinas to the
    Mid-Atlantic.
    ...Upper Midwest Vicinity...
    An upper shortwave trough will track southeast from the northern
    Plains to the upper Great Lakes in strong northwesterly deep-layer
    flow. A warm and moist (mid/upper 60s F dewpoints) boundary layer
    beneath modest midlevel lapse rates will result in a moderately
    unstable airmass ahead of a southeastward-advancing cold front.
    Forecast soundings indicate long, straight hodographs with 25-35 kt
    effective shear in the strongest profiles. This environment should
    support marginal supercells capable of large hail and locally
    damaging wind gusts with the strongest cells.
    ...Central Plains to the Mid-MO Valley Vicinity...
    Further southwest, the severe threat becomes more unclear. Some
    guidance suggests morning convection will be ongoing across parts
    of KS/MO and may inhibit severe potential through peak heating.
    Convection is expected to develop over higher terrain of CO and
    eastern WY, but warm midlevels and weakening northwesterly flow
    with westward extent should limit severe potential across eastern
    CO and western KS. As the surface cold front surges southeast
    across the Upper Midwest, it will become more nebulous across NE. East/southeasterly low level flow will transport moisture northwest
    across KS/NE and pockets of moderate to strong instability are
    forecast. A conditional threat for large hail and damaging wind
    gusts is possible, and is dependent on evolution of possible
    morning convection, eventual boundary locations and other mesoscale
    processes that are not being resolved well between various guidance
    at this time.
    ...Carolinas into the Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England...
    An upper trough will pivot eastward on Wednesday, spreading 30-40
    kt midlevel southwesterly flow across the region. Surface dewpoints
    in the mid 60s to low 70s will be transported northward across the
    Piedmont of NC/VA into the Mid-Atlantic vicinity. Strong heating
    through this corridor will result in moderate to strong instability
    and thunderstorms will develop over higher terrain during the
    early afternoon. As convection spreads eastward, some guidance
    suggests upscale growth is possible, with one or more line segments
    tracking across the region. Effective shear is somewhat marginal,
    around 25 kt, and midlevel lapse rates modest. But higher PW values
    and pockets of steep low-level lapse rates could be sufficient
    for storm organization along outflows and areas of damaging wind
    will be possible. At this time, its still unclear where greater
    potential will develop and will maintain Marginal probs at this
    time, though upgrades could be needed in subsequent updates if
    current trends continue.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 2% - Marginal Wind:
    15% - Slight Hail: 15% - Slight

    0126 AM CDT Tue Aug 06 2019
    Valid 061200Z - 071200Z
    ...Synopsis... An upper-level ridge will remain in place across
    the Southwest into the Great Basin today. A mid/upper-level
    low is forecast to remain off of the Pacific Northwest coast
    through the period, with one or more weak shortwave troughs
    potentially moving northward into the interior Northwest and/or
    western Great Basin between the low and the upper ridge to the
    east. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon across
    the central/southern Rockies, with more isolated activity possible
    into the interior Northwest.
    ...Northern California into Oregon... Strong heating/mixing
    will support isolated thunderstorm potential across portions of
    northern CA and much of OR this afternoon into the early evening. A
    conditional risk of lightning-related ignitions will be present, with
    receptive fuels in place and generally limited rainfall expected,
    so the ISODRYT area has been maintained from the Cascade Range into
    the Blue Mountains of northeast OR.

    0126 AM CDT Tue Aug 06 2019
    Valid 071200Z - 081200Z
    ...Synopsis... Some dampening of the persistent upper ridge over
    the Southwest and Great Basin is expected on Wednesday, as the
    upper low off of the Pacific coast gradually shifts eastward and
    smaller-scale shortwave troughs move around the periphery of the
    ridge. Moisture will gradually increase into portions of the Great
    Basin, supporting a threat of at least isolated thunderstorms.
    ...Interior Northwest into northwest NV... At least isolated
    thunderstorm coverage is expected Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday
    night across portions of the interior Northwest into northwest NV,
    with some potential for greater coverage depending on the timing
    and placement of shortwaves moving around the periphery of the
    upper ridge. While some increase in moisture is forecast compared
    to D1/Tuesday, substantial rainfall is generally not expected across
    the region, and thunderstorm activity will pose a risk of ignitions
    given the presence of receptive fuels.
