Spring is in the air, but is Severe?

DAY 4-8 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK 
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0328 AM CDT SUN MAR 13 2011
  
   VALID 161200Z - 211200Z
  
   ...DISCUSSION...
  
   ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT REGARDING LARGE SCALE
   FEATURES INTO THE LATTER PART OF THIS WEEK.  OF PARTICULAR NOTE WILL
   BE THE GRADUAL STRENGTHENING SWLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE SWRN U.S.
   INTO THE NRN PLAINS WHICH SHOULD ENCOURAGE SEVERAL BOUTS OF LEE
   CYCLOGENESIS AND MORE FAVORABLE TRAJECTORIES FOR RETURN MOISTURE
   INTO THE SRN/CNTRL PLAINS.  GIVEN THAT RICHER MOISTURE LIKELY WILL
   HOLD OFF MOVING INLAND UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE MEDIUM RANGE WILL
   NOT INTRODUCE A RISK FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS
   TIME.  ALTHOUGH...IF SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS SUGGEST A WRN U.S. TROUGH
   WILL EVOLVE BY LATE WEEK AN INCREASING RISK FOR STRONG/SVR TSTMS MAY
   DEVELOP BY NEXT WEEKEND.
