region into northern new england...as well as parts of the upper ohio valley and lower great lakes region...and portions of the central high plains into the southern plains. ...ohio valley... morning water vapor loops show a shortwave trough moving across ia/mo. a persistent cluster of thunderstorms is associated with this trough over southeast mo. early visible satellite imagery shows relatively clear skies downstream of the convection...which should allow rapid heating and destabilization. present indications are that this cluster of storms will intensify by late morning over southern ind/western ky and track northeastward across oh into western pa. mlcape values over 1500 j/kg and 40-50 knots of mid level flow support a risk of locally damaging winds and hail in these areas. ...mid atlantic region into new england... a band of showers currently extends from western ny southward into wv. this weak convection is associated with a lead shortwave trough that will move eastward into parts of the mid atlantic region and new england later today. strong heating in this region coupled with dewpoints in the 60s will help yield mlcape values over 1000 j/kg. most cam solutions show scattered thunderstorm development along this corridor by mid afternoon. low level and deep layer shear profiles are favorable for organized/bowing storm structures capable of locally damaging winds. any storm that can remain discrete in this region would pose a marginal risk for a tornado as well. ...central/southern high plains... strong heating will occur once again today over parts of eastern co/western ky and southwest neb...southward into tx and western ok. similar to yesterday...moderate cape values and a breakable cap will result in isolated to scattered thunderstorms along the dryline. the highest probability of storms appears to be from southwest neb into northwest ok. strengthening low level winds this evening and steep lapse rates will promote a risk of supercells capable of hail...damaging winds...and isolated tornadoes. ..hart/gleason.. 05/27/2015 click to get wuus01 ptsdy1 product note: the next day 1 outlook is scheduled by 1630z hr. fxus61 kcle
