The main threat for severe weather will remain over the southern Plains as a strong upper low and jet maximum produces strong vertical wind shear over the region. Although the low level clouds may inhibit instability initially over the region, by the afternoon the cap should be broken with a significant threat for large hail, [...]

The most organized area of severe weather will be found over the north-central Plains. A trough will dig into the region, which will send a series of strong disturbances south through much of the area. As a result, wind shear will increase as cold temperatures aloft combine to destabilize the atmosphere. The strongest thunderstorms will [...]

The digging trough over the eastern two-thirds of the nation is producing several areas of potential severe weather across the country.
Over the eastern Great Lakes, an upper low will move into the Great Lakes with a strong cold front at the surface focusing strong to severe thunderstorms over the eastern Great Lakes. The disturbances [...]

Today, there are two main focuses of severe weather, which both can be attributed to a strong cold front moving south over the Great Lakes and the Plains.
Over the Northeast, the combination of a strong cold front at surface and impressive wind shear aloft along with an unstable atmosphere will lead to the development [...]
