AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM WILL LIKEWISE CROSS THE NRN AND CENTRAL
PLAINS...THOUGH MODELS DIFFER BY ROUGHLY 6-12 HOURS WITH RESPECT TO
FRONTAL PROGRESS. THUS...WHILE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER
SHOULD EVOLVE DAY 4...TEMPORAL/AREAL UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES THE
ISSUANCE OF A DAY 4 AREA.

UPPER MS VALLEY/UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION BY AFTERNOON DAY 5 /TUE.
9-21/...WITH AN AXIS OF CONVECTIVE/LIMITED SEVERE POTENTIAL POSSIBLE
INVOF THE FRONT. THREAT DOES NOT APPEAR SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE AN
OUTLOOK AREA ATTM...AS IT APPEARS THAT STRONGER FLOW ALOFT/SHEAR
SHOULD REMAIN N OF THE ZONE OF GREATER DESTABILIZATION POTENTIAL.
AS THE INITIAL FRONT SHIFTS EWD INTO/ACROSS THE NORTHEAST DAY 6
/WED. 9-22/...THE NEXT SURFACE SYSTEM SHOULD BEGIN AFFECTING THE
CENTRAL PORTION OF THE COUNTRY. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE
