Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

After a devastating severe weather day in the Plains on Monday, severe weather is expected to fire up again across the nation's mid-section again on Tuesday.

The nearly stationary low over the Northern Plains will gradually weaken as it shifts eastward into the Midwest on Tuesday, while the system's associated cold front trails southwestward from the low across the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the Southern Plains. Favorable energy and conditions ahead of the cold front combined with the moisture laden conditions of the nation's mid-section will set the stage for multiple clusters of thunderstorms to develop from the Midwest into the Ozarks and the Southern Plains. Portions of northeastern Texas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma, central and southern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana are at moderate risk of severe thunderstorm activity as environmental conditions remain favorable for tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and very large hail. Areas surrounding this moderate risk region from the parts of central and eastern Texas into the Upper Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development with hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and widely scattered showers will continue near the low in the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and near and to the north of a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending out ahead of the system from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. Continued precipitation in already saturated areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will maintain flood concerns from parts of North Dakota into northern Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern corner of the nation.

... Understanding a marine forecast...

The following is a safe boating message from the National safe
boating Council and the National Weather Service for this year's
National safe boating week.

Understanding a marine forecast is critical to safe boating.
Weather and wave conditions can change suddenly... catching boaters
off guard and creating life threatening conditions.

Typical marine forecasts predict wind speed and direction... wave
heights and periods... roughness of near shore waters... and
significant weather. Marine forecasts cover large areas and the
forecast elements are often given in ranges. The significant
weather may not occur over the entire area or during the entire
forecast period. The ranges represent average conditions over a
period of time... usually 12 hours... and the actual conditions may
be lower or higher than the forecast range. Boaters should plan
for conditions above and below the predicted ranges.

Take particular note of any current advisories and
warnings... including small craft advisories... gale or storm
warnings which alert mariners to either high winds or waves
occurring now or forecast to occur up to 24 hours from now.
Special marine warnings are issued for sudden increase in winds to
over 35 knots... waterspouts... and hail of three quarter inch or
greater and indicate a more immediate threat. Marine weather
statements bring attention to significant rapidly changing
conditions on the water including increase in winds... non severe
thunderstorms... development of dense fog and even snow squalls or
strong and gusty rain showers.

You should have a marine vhf transceiver with built-in NOAA
Weather Radio channels. If you venture beyond about a 25 nautical
mile range from shore... you should consider buying a good quality
hf single sideband transceiver and satellite phone.

Before setting out... obtain the latest marine forecast and warning
information from www.Weather.Gov/marine or NOAA Weather Radio.
Several days ahead of time you can begin listening for extended
outlooks which give general information out to the next five days
in both graphical and text format.
