THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW

AND TONIGHT.

ELSEWHERE...SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FROM THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND INTO THE GULF COAST STATES...

A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL MOVE

ACCOMPANIED BY JET STREAM WINDS IN EXCESS OF 100 MPH AND SURFACE
COLD FRONT WHICH WILL ADVANCE EASTWARD THROUGH THE TENNESSEE AND
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS AND CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES BY EARLY
TUESDAY.  AS THIS FRONT ENCOUNTERS A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS BEING

WILL EXIST FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT FROM CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE
INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA.  WHILE THE NUMBER OF
