...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OZARKS
NORTHEAST TO THE OHIO VALLEY AND WESTERN NEW YORK...AS WELL AS
ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Strong to isolated severe storms are possible on Thursday from the
Ozarks into the Ohio Valley and western New York. Additional strong
storms are possible over the central High Plains.

...Ozarks into the Ohio Valley and Western New York...

A series of shortwave impulses will migrate through an upper trough
pivoting east/northeast across the Great Lakes on Thursday. This
will result in areas of enhanced west/southwesterly flow streaming
over the region. At the surface, a very moist and unstable air mass
will be in place, with dewpoints in the mid 60s to low 70s F
expected ahead of an east/southeastward progressing cold front
across the Midwest. This is likely to be one or more MCVs migrating
across the area as well, associated with expected MCSs in the Day 1
and Day 2 period. Uncertainty in the location of the surface
boundary and any mesoscale features will preclude higher severe
probabilities at this time, but at least isolated severe storms
appear possible. High PWs and modest vertical shear amid moderate to
strong instability should favor mainly a locally damaging wind
threat Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening.

...Central High Plains...

Southeasterly low level flow will bring upper 50s to mid 60s F
dewpoints northwestward into eastern CO/western NE. A surface trough
will extend southward through the northern/central High Plains.
West/northwest mid/upper flow will increase through the period as an
upper trough spreads across the Pacific Northwest and Northern
Rockies, shunting the western upper ridge eastward over the Plains
by Friday morning. Northwesterly flow aloft atop southeasterly low
level flow will result in moderate effective shear. High-based
supercells are possible by late afternoon as a weak shortwave
impulse ejects eastward ahead of the main upper trough. Isolated
strong/severe storms capable of strong gusts and perhaps hail will
be possible through the evening.
