The main focus for severe weather will be along the stationary front over the Gulf Coast. A strong disturbance as the mid level will interact with the stationary front to produce showers and strong to severe thunderstorms. The additional wind shear combined with isentropic lifting will lead to thunderstorms capable of tornadoes, large hail, wind [...]

The bulk of the severe weather will be concentrated around the Mid West, Ohio Valley, eastern Great Lakes, and eventually the Mid Atlantic.
A trough will continue to dig into the eastern United States with a series of strong mid level disturbances moving through the areas described above. The strong disturbances will enhance the thunderstorms [...]

The north-central Plains, Mid West, and Great Lakes will be very active today with severe weather. There are a lot of different mid level disturbances enhancing showers and thunderstorms over the region this morning including a strong MCS over the Dakotas. However, the overall theme with the severe weather threat through the evening hours will [...]

The majority of the severe weather today will concentrate in two locations.
A cold front will move through the East coast this afternoon with showers and strong to severe thunderstorms over New England, the Mid Atlantic coast, and the Carolina coast. The combination of increasing lapse rates, strong wind shear, and strengthening isentropic lifting will [...]

Severe thunderstorms will concentrate along and ahead of an advancing cold front over the northern Plains, Mid West, and western Great Lakes. A strengthening disturbance moving south from Manitoba will enhance lifting ahead of the cold front, which will help destabilize the atmosphere. However, low level and mid level vertical shear will be generally weak, [...]

Unlike yesterday, the severe weather will not be as widespread.
Over southern New England, a strong cold front will move through the region with showers and strong to severe thunderstorms. The 500 MB disturbance will move through southern New England producing strong lifting and vertical wind shear in a very warm, moist, and unstable atmosphere. [...]

The severe weather today will be focused over the Mid West and Ohio Valley today where a stationary front combined with a series of mid level disturbance will support the development of strong to severe thunderstorms. A strong MCS over the Mid-West will further enhance the low level dynamics via additional lifting from out flow [...]

The majority of the severe weather will once again focus along a long and winding frontal boundary from the northern Plains through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast.
Over the northern Plains, the combination of a weakening MCS and a series of strengthening mid level disturbances will produce vertical and speed wind shear aloft [...]

The most significant severe weather threats will be found in the northern Plains, Mid West, and New England. All of these areas will be impacted by a slow moving cold front and mid level disturbances that will produce a favorable environment for severe thunderstorms capable of large hail, strong wind gusts, and in some cases [...]
