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.

... Extremely unstable airmass poised to erupt in severe thunderstorms
with large hail and damaging winds by late afternoon through this
evening...

Rich low level Gulf moisture coupled with steep lapse rates aloft
have resulted in an extremely unstable air-mass across south
central Texas early this morning. An upper level trough pushing
east over central Texas will slide a cold front into western
portions of south central Texas this afternoon. Scattered
thunderstorms will develop rapidly by late afternoon... quickly
becoming severe as the front encounters this unstable air mass.
The main threats will be from large hail and damaging thunderstorm
winds... however with the extreme instability present... isolated
tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Much of the eastern half of south
central Texas will be affected from late afternoon until the early
morning hours Wednesday. In addition... rainfall amounts may
average 1 to 3 inches within the heaviest storms producing some
localized flooding.

Heightened concern exists across the northeast corridor this
evening... including the cities of Burnet... Georgetown... Austin and
Giddings. Erosion of the capping inversion coupled with extreme
instability along the front and an increasing low level jet... may
lead to very large hail and isolated tornadoes.

The system should exit the region overnight tonight... early
Wednesday morning... with rains and severe weather ending from the
west.

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your local media for later updates
on this severe weather event. Also... go to weather.Gov/Austin for
the latest information... forecasts and warnings.
