DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK 
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
 1027 AM CST SUN NOV 11 2012
 
VALID 111630Z - 121200Z
 
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER ERN TX/SERN OK INTO AR AND
 NRN/WRN LA...
 
...ERN TX/SERN OK INTO AR AND NRN/WRN LA...
 HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING EWD
 ACROSS THE CENTRAL US THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT
 ROTATE THROUGH THE ERN PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM. AT THE SURFACE...A
 LOW OVER NWRN ONTARIO WILL MOVE NNEWD TOWARD JAMES BAY AS A STRONG
 COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY FROM WRN WI INTO CENTRAL MO...SERN OK AND
 SWRN TX...PROGRESSES EWD/SEWD TO A LAKE HURON/CENTRAL KY/CENTRAL
 MS/TX GULF COAST LINE BY 12/12Z.
 
AN AXIS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PRESENT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
 FROM ERN TX INTO THE MIDDLE MS VALLEY WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS
 RANGING FROM THE MID/UPPER 60S OVER TX TO THE MID 50S OVER NRN MO
 AND ERN IA. THE
ERN EXTENT OF THE MOISTURE AXIS HAS BEEN LIMITED BY
 ANTICYCLONIC TRAJECTORIES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC COAST
 SURFACE RIDGE...AND THE MOIST AXIS IS LIKELY TO GRADUALLY NARROW IN
 WIDTH AS COLD FRONT ADVANCES EWD WITH TIME.
 
12Z REGIONAL RAOBS AT FWD/SHV/LZK/SGF EXHIBITED A PRONOUNCED CAPPING
 INVERSION ABOVE 800 MB THAT HAD LIMITED DEEP CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
 IN THE WARM SECTOR UNTIL RECENTLY. HOWEVER...PRE-FRONTAL STORMS ARE
 NOW EVIDENT OVER NERN TX AND GIVEN THE FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL
 SHEAR...STORMS WILL BE MONITORED FOR INDICATIONS OF INTENSIFICATION
 /SEE MD 2117 FOR MORE DETAILS/.
 
WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER DOWNSTREAM FROM THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
 INHIBIT DIABATIC HEATING AND STRONG DESTABILIZATION THIS
 AFTERNOON...BUT SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY EXISTS TO SUPPORT STRONGER
 CONVECTIVE UPDRAFTS THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODEL
 GUIDANCE INDICATES WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
 DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT WITH ADDITIONAL LINEAR
 CONVECTION ALONG THE COLD FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON. STRONG DEEP
 LAYER AND LOW LEVEL VERTICAL SHEAR ALONG THE SERN EDGE OF THE UPPER
 TROUGH WILL ENHANCE STORM ORGANIZATION AND INTENSITY WITH POTENTIAL
 FOR A FEW SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS TO FORM. STRONGER STORMS
 WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND...ISOLATED LARGE
 HAIL...AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. 
THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT AS BOUNDARY
 LAYER COOLING COMMENCES AND THE UPPER TROUGH LIFTS NEWD AWAY FROM
 THE HIGHER THETA-E AIR MASS.

Original Message Latest GFS is showing a classic Texas Hooker developing in the Panhandle on Sunday Nov 11 and moving NE and strengthening.

Trough is negative tilted.

These bad girls can be very nasty and bring tornado outbreaks and blizzards at the same time.

Plains and Midwest could get hit hard.

Stay tuned for updates.
