..SYNOPSIS
QSTNRY UPR LOW OVER ONT/QUE WILL PERSIST INTO SATURDAY AS AN ASSOCD
UPR TROUGH WEAKENS ALONG THE ERN SEABOARD. IN ITS WAKE...WNWLY UPR
FLOW REGIME WILL EXIST FROM THE NRN GRT BASIN TO THE MID-ATLC
CST...ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL HIGH. AT THE SFC...A LOW
WILL MOVE FROM ERN KS INTO THE LWR OH VLY BY SATURDAY NIGHT. A
TRAILING CDFNT WILL SETTLE SWD INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND PARTS OF THE
SRN PLNS WHILE A WRMFNT DEVELOPS NEWD THROUGH THE UPR OH VLY.
..MO/AR OZARKS EWD INTO THE LWR OH VLY
SVRL TSTM CLUSTERS...MOSTLY ELEVATED AND SUB-SVR...WILL BE ONGOING
AT 12Z SATURDAY FROM PARTS OF ERN KS INTO CNTRL IL. STORMS WILL BE
ENHANCED BY CONSIDERABLE LOW/MID-LVL THETA-E ADVECTION ALONG/N OF
THE SFC LOW/WRMFNT. ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE EWD INTO THE MIDWEST
THROUGH THE DAY.
PRIMARY SVR THREATS SHOULD EVOLVE SATURDAY AFTN FROM THE LWR OH VLY
WWD INTO THE MO/AR OZARKS. MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT
TRACKING THE CNTRL ROCKIES MID-LVL SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE MID-MS
VLY BY LATE AFTN. INFLUENCE OF THIS WAVE/ASCENT AND STRONG HEATING
ALONG/S OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES/CDFNT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO STRENGTHENING
STORMS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 45-50 KTS WILL AID IN STORM
ORGANIZATION/SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DMGG WIND GUSTS. ISOLD
TORNADOES MAY ALSO OCCUR...PRIMARILY FROM SERN MO INTO SRN IL NEAR
THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW. ACTIVITY SHOULD EVOLVE INTO SMALL SCALE

COMPARATIVELY LESS ACROSS THE REGION THAN AT POINTS FARTHER
NE...INVERTED-V SUB-CLOUD THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES AND MID-LVL DRY AIR
