There is a "See Text" for the southern plains on day 3 and some severe potential mentioned to continue on day 4.
QUOTE DAY 4-8 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0328 AM CDT SAT MAR 31 2012 VALID 031200Z - 081200Z ...DISCUSSION... AN UPPER LOW THAT IS BEING HANDLED POORLY BY THE MODELS IS FORECAST TO BE OVER THE SRN PLAINS ON TUE/D4...AND SHOULD CONTINUE DRIFTING EWD INTO THE LOWER OR MIDDLE MS VALLEY BY WED/D5. NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE...ARE PROBABLE...ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT OUTBREAK. STILL...HAIL AND WIND GUSTS WILL BE LIKELY...MAINLY FROM ERN TX INTO ERN OK...AR...AND LA ON D4...SPREADING EWD PERHAPS INTO THE TN VALLEY AND GULF COAST STATES ON D5. WILL DEFER TO LATER OUTLOOKS AS PREDICTABILITY INCREASES. THIS LOW WILL OTHERWISE BE NESTLED WITH A LARGER SCALE UPPER RIDGE...WITH TROUGHS OVER THE NERN AND NWRN CONUS. THE NEXT WRN TROUGH WILL LIKELY HAVE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH AS A COLD FRONT WITH CP AIR MASS STALLS NEAR THE GULF COAST D5/D6. HOWEVER...MODEL DEPICTIONS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 129 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 340 PM CDT MON APR 2 2012 THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST KANSAS WESTERN OKLAHOMA NORTHWEST TEXAS INCLUDING THE EASTERN PANHANDLE EFFECTIVE THIS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 340 PM UNTIL 1100 PM CDT. HAIL TO 3 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 60 STATUTE MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 35 MILES NORTH NORTHEAST OF DODGE CITY KANSAS TO 60 MILES WEST SOUTHWEST OF MINERAL WELLS TEXAS. FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9). REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY DO PRODUCE TORNADOES. OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 126...WW 127...WW 128... DISCUSSION...TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS ANTICIPATED WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO ALONG STATIONARY FRONT OVER SWRN KS INTO THE NRN TX PNHDL...AS WELL AS ALONG DRYLINE INTO W-CNTRL TX. AMBIENT AIR MASS HAS BECOME STRONGLY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPE APPROACHING 3000-3500 J/KG WHICH WILL SUPPORT INTENSE STORM DEVELOPMENT. AREA VAD/PROFILER DATA AND MODEL FORECAST HODOGRAPHS INDICATE THAT VERTICAL SHEAR /BOTH IN THE LOW LEVELS AND THROUGH A DEEP LAYER/ IS MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS. WHEN COUPLED WITH RATHER LARGE TEMPERATURE-DEWPOINT SPREADS...THE EXPECTATION IS THAT VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS. BY 03/00-03Z...BOTH LOW AND DEEP-LAYER SHEAR ARE FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WILL INCREASE WITH STORMS THAT REMAIN MORE DISCRETE. THUS...CONDITIONS WILL BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO A TORNADO WATCH LATER THIS EVENING. AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT TO 3 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60 KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500. MEAN STORM MOTION VECTOR 20025. ...MEAD -------------------- |

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0100 AM CDT TUE APR 03 2012 VALID 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS CENTRAL/ERN TX...MUCH OF OK...SERN KS...WRN AR AND SWRN MO... ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE MID MS AND OH VALLEYS... ...SYNOPSIS... CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER NM...PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...WILL REMAIN CUTOFF FROM A MORE AMPLIFIED NRN STREAM THIS FORECAST PERIOD. DESPITE IT BEING CUTOFF...THIS SYSTEM WILL BE PROGRESSIVE SHIFTING SLOWLY ENEWD REACHING THE TX PANHANDLE INTO SERN CO/SWRN KS REGION BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH...CURRENTLY TOPPING THE UPPER RIDGE OVER CENTRAL CANADA...IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SEWD INTO ONTARIO/ QUEBEC WITH HEIGHT FALLS GLANCING THE OH VALLEY REGION. MEANWHILE...THE MIDLEVEL CIRCULATION AND NRN EXTENT OF THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH THAT MOVED THROUGH E TX/LOWER MS VALLEY MONDAY IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NEWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY AND ACROSS THE OH VALLEY. THE SRN EXTENT OF THIS SAME TROUGH SHOULD BE WEAKER AS IT MOVES EWD THROUGH THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES...REACHING GA/NRN FL BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT WILL EXTEND SWWD FROM A WEAK LOW OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY TO A WEAK LOW IN NWRN TX. A PACIFIC FRONT SHOULD EXTEND SWD FROM THE TX LOW THROUGH WEST CENTRAL AND SWRN TX. MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONT WILL STRETCH FROM THE UPPER MS VALLEY REGION SEWD THROUGH CENTRAL IL...KY TO THE CAROLINAS THIS MORNING. ...SRN PLAINS... FORCING FOR ASCENT ATTENDANT TO A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE NM CLOSED LOW AND TRANSLATING NEGATIVELY-TILTED THROUGH THE ERN SEMI-CIRCLE OF THE LOW THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...RESPECTIVELY...WILL SUPPORT TSTM DEVELOPMENT...WITHIN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. CLOUDINESS ATTENDANT TO ONGOING SHOWER/TSTMS AT 12Z TODAY ACROSS PARTS OF OK SWD INTO TX MAY LIMIT STRONGER SURFACE HEATING. HOWEVER...GIVEN WEAK CAPPING...BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS SHOULD PROVE SUFFICIENT FOR DESTABILIZATION AS STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES /AROUND 8 C PER KM/ AND PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1 INCH CONTRIBUTE TO AFTERNOON MLCAPE OF 2000-3000 J/KG ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE PACIFIC COLD FRONT. IN THE WAKE OF MORNING SHOWERS/TSTMS...NEW TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED BY AFTERNOON ALONG THE COLD FRONT FROM WRN/CENTRAL OK SWD THROUGH NRN AND CENTRAL TX. 50-60 KT SWLY MIDLEVEL WINDS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS AS THE CLOSED LOW SHIFTS ENEWD. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND STRENGTHENING EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR UP TO 40-50 KT ACROSS THE PACIFIC FRONT/WARM SECTOR...ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE LIKELY. SOME DISCRETE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS SHEAR VECTORS WILL BE ORIENTED ACROSS THE FRONT. DESPITE NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL...SLY DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS...SOME LOW LEVEL HODOGRAPH CURVATURE SUGGESTS A TORNADO THREAT IS POSSIBLE. HAIL... SOME VERY LARGE...IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE SRN PLAINS GIVEN THE STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY. DAMAGING WINDS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TUESDAY EVENING/ NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS AN ONGOING LINE OF STORMS ADVANCES EWD...REACHING SWRN MO/WRN AR TO E TX BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND CONTINUED STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR WITH VECTORS BECOMING ORIENTED MORE PARALLEL TO THE FRONT WILL TEND TO FAVOR LINEAR ORGANIZATION VERSUS DISCRETE STORMS AFTER DARK. ...MID MS/OH VALLEYS... THE IL/KY PORTION OF THE WARM FRONT WILL SHIFT EWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY TODAY AS THE UPPER MS VALLEY SURFACE LOW TRACKS ESEWD TOWARD ERN OH/WRN PA BY LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG SURFACE HEATING WITHIN A STEEP LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION E/NEWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY WILL RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY BY THIS AFTERNOON. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RATHER WEAK THROUGH THE PERIOD RESULTING IN PULSE-TYPE STORMS. SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION AND FORCING FOR ASCENT ATTENDANT TO WEAK HEIGHT FALLS AND THE WEAK MIDLEVEL IMPULSE TRACKING THROUGH THIS REGION TODAY SHOULD RESULT IN TSTM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR. INITIAL ACTIVITY SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE MID MS/LOWER OH VALLEYS...WITH ACTIVITY SPREADING INTO THE UPPER OH VALLEY THIS EVENING. THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND STEEP LAPSE RATES SUGGEST HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ONE OR MORE MCSS...WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT FOR HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS...TO DEVELOP AND TRACK ESEWD THROUGH THE OH VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT ADVANCES SWD. THUS...GIVEN THESE FACTORS...A SLIGHT RISK AREA HAS BEEN INTRODUCED FROM PARTS OF THE MID MS VALLEY THROUGH MUCH OF THE OH VALLEY WITH THIS OUTLOOK ISSUANCE. ...PARTS OF WRN AND CENTRAL KS... ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE WEAKER WITH NNWWD EXTENT INTO THIS REGION TODAY...ELEVATED TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE LEADING EDGE OF DPVA/FORCED ASCENT IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF THE CLOSED LOW SPREAD NEWD. STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES SUGGEST MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE. -------------------- # of T-Storm Watches:2

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT STORMS MAY NOT DEVELOP UNTIL CLOSER TO EVENING WHICH MAY PUSH THE THREAT FURTHER SOUTH. DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR WILL BE RATHER WEAK SO STORMS MAY PULSE UP AND DOWN IN INTENSITY WHILE ORGANIZING INTO CLUSTERS.
