806 ACUS03 KWNS 010736 SWODY3 SPC AC 010735 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0235 AM CDT Mon Jul 01 2024 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDWEST/OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday, particularly across parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley and central Plains. ...Midwest/Ozarks/Ohio Valley... Moderate to strong destabilization is expected within a moist air mass preceding an east/southeastward-moving cold front, potentially effectively augmented by early day convection and residual cloud cover. As a shortwave trough transitions northeastward over the Great Lakes toward Ontario, at least weak height falls and moderately strong mid-level westerlies will generally influence areas as far south as the Ohio River and parts of the Ozark Plateau. Intensifying multicells/banded clusters seem probable into Wednesday afternoon, with bouts of wind damage as the primary hazard through the evening. This scenario currently appears most probable across downstate portions of Illinois/Indiana into Ohio and northern Kentucky. ...High Plains/Central Plains... Height falls and a strengthening of cyclonically curved westerlies are expected ahead (east-southeast) of an amplifying mid/upper-level trough over the northern Rockies. At least isolated severe storms capable of hail/strong wind gusts will be possible within a broad north/south corridor from the western Dakotas and southeast Montana/northeast Wyoming southward into eastern Colorado, northeast New Mexico, and northwest Texas. A more focused area of potentially severe storms, including possible evening-time MCS development, would appear to be across western Nebraska/northeast Colorado into western/northern Kansas. ..Guyer.. 07/01/2024 $$
