I dug up a bunch of NSSFC Public Severe Weather Outlooks from the 1990s. I'm mainly trying to figure out if NSSFC had a high risk in effect on these days and what actually happened, if there are any photos, videos or case studies of the storms. The phrasing they used ("long-lived intense tornadoes" etc) certainly sounds high-risk worthy, but this was during a period when the NSSFC issued public outlooks for many moderate risks in addition to high risks (much like the SPC is doing now), and I couldn't find the accompanying convective outlooks.

..SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OUTBREAK EXPECTED TODAY OVER SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
THE NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI IS FORECASTING AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS.
THE STATES WHICH ARE MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE BRUNT OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY INCLUDE
MUCH OF TEXAS PANHANDLE
NORTHWEST TEXAS
WESTERN OKLAHOMA.
AN EARLY SPRING STORM WILL BE WINDING UP OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING STORM ARE BRINGING VERY MOIST GULF AIR NORTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. HEATING FROM THE STRONG EARLY SPRING SUN COUPLED WITH QUITE COOL UPPER LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND GULF MOISTURE WILL MAKE FOR AN EXPLOSIVELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE ENERGY WITH THE UPPER LOW NOW MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN ARIZONA WILL SWEEP EASTWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES REACHING THE DEVELOPING DRY LINE IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WEST TEXAS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THESE INGREDIENTS WILL LEAD TO RAPID FORMATION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE DRY LINE THIS AFTERNOON OVER WESTERN TEXAS. WITH THE SUPPORT OF STRONG UPPER WINDS AND THE INTENSIFYING SURFACE LOW OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OUTBREAK WILL COMMENCE WITH TORNADO DEVELOPMENT QUITE LIKELY ALONG WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
THIS EVENING THE WIND FIELDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY JET INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS WILL MAINTAIN VERY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADIC POTENTIAL INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST TEXAS.
DUE TO THE HIGH DEGREE OF INSTABILITY ANTICIPATED THERE IS THE CONCERN THAT PARTICULARLY LARGE AND INTENSE TORNADOES COULD OCCUR IN THIS REGION.
ALL PERSONS IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SAFETY RULES...AND LISTEN TO RADIO..TV..OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES OR WARNINGS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION FOR THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

..WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OUTBREAK EXPECTED TODAY OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN PLAINS.
THE NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI IS FORECASTING AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES TODAY INTO TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND POSSIBLY INTO PORTIONS OF LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THE STATES WHICH ARE MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE BRUNT OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY INCLUDE...
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN TEXAS...AND MUCH OF OKLAHOMA.
A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH IS EXPECTED TO LIE EAST/WEST ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI THEN EXTEND SOUTHWESTWARD INTO SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS WILL ACT AS THE PRIMARY TRIGGER MECHANISM FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TODAY AND TONIGHT. STRONG SOUTHERLY LOWER LEVEL WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL ADVECT MOIST UNSTABLE AIR INTO THE THREAT REGION. THIS COMBINED WITH AN APPROACHING VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA AND ASSOCIATED STRONG WIND FIELDS SHOULD ENHANCE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL. A KEY INGREDIENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A PRONOUNCED LOW AND MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION ASSOCIATED WITH DRYLINE FORECAST TO PUNCH INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN TEXAS. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA FORECAST TO MOVE INTO NORTHWESTERN TEXAS DURING THE DAY WILL ALSO ENHANCE SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
GIVEN THE INGREDIENTS IN PLACE...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL NOT ONLY FOR VERY STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BUT FOR TORNADOES...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE PARTICULARLY INTENSE.
ALL PERSONS IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SAFETY RULES...AND LISTEN TO RADIO..TV..OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES OR WARNINGS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION FOR THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

THE NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI IS FORECASTING AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS aND TORNADOES TODAY INTO TONIGHT OVER MUCH OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THE STATES WHICH ARE MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE
THE BRUNT OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY INCLUDE:
MUCH OF NORTHERN AND EASTERN MINNESOTA
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN
THE WESTERN-MOST PART OF UPPER MICHIGAN
AN UNSEASONABLY INTENSE STORM SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH DAKOTA IS MOVING VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR RAPIDLY NORTHWARD INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING. BY THIS AFTERNOON A STONG COLD FRONT ALONG WITH A PO ( @ "F A!"DISTURBANCE
ALREADY THIS MORNING A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS GENERATED BY THE STORM SYSTEM IS RACING EASTWARD AT NEARLY 60 MPH ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA PRODUCANG DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THIS FIRST WAVE OF STORMS WILL MOVE OUT OF MINNESOTA INTO CANADA LATER THIS MORNING. DURING THE DAY STRONG HEATING AND SOUTHERLY WINDS TO 60 MILES AN HOUR WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES IN. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE FOR THE FORMATION OF POWERFUL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. DURING THE AFTERNOON SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL RAPIDLY REDEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN MINNESOTA WITH A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS...VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOS. THESE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE RAPIDLY EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN MINESOTA INTO LPTHWESTERN WISCONSIN AND0THE0WSTERN PORTION OF UPPER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF UNSTABLE AIR AVAILABLE AND THE INTENSITY OF THE WINDS AT ALL LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM SYSTEM...THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR PARTICULARLY STRONG TORNADOES TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
ALL PERSONS IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SAFETY RULES...AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO..TV..OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES OR WARNINGS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION FOR THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OUTBREAK LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE AND LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY AND OZARK MOUNTAIN REGION...
THE NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI IS FORECASTING THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE NATION.
THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED INCLUDE:
MOST OF IOWA AND MISSOURI
THE EXTREME EASTERN PORTIONS OF NEBRASKA AND KANSAS
EXTREME WESTERN ILLINOIS
AND THE NORTHERN PORTION OF ARKANSAS
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN AREAS SURROUNDING THE PRIMARY THREAT AREA FROM EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA SOUTHEASTWARD INTO
INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY AND FROM EASTERN OKLAHOMA EASTWARD INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI.
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG STORM SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS THIS MORNING. THIS STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE SOUTH SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE NATION BY TONIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE BRINGING VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR NORTHWARD INTO THE MIDDLE AND LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY AND OZARK MOUNTAIN REGION. AT THE SAME TIME A VERY STRONG JET STREAM OF NORTHWESTERLY WINDS IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE IS ADVANCING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL PART OF THE NATION.
A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM THE EASTERN DAKOTAS INTO NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA IS EXPECTED TO BE THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AS IT MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT BY EARLY TO MIDDLLE AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...AND NORTHWESTERN IOWA. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE RAPIDLY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE PRIMARY THREAT AREA REACHING NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTHWESTERN ILLINOIS BY LATE EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS..LOCALLY AS STRONG AS 80 TO 100 MPH AND LARGE HAIL CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES...A FEW OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DAMAGING.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ARE ALSO POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN TWO AREAS OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. ONE AREA EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS. THE OTHER AREA EXTENDS FROM THE EASTERN MID ATLANTIC STATES INTO SOUTHERN AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
ALL PERSONS IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SAFETY RULES...AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES OR WARNINGS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION FOR THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

Edit: I looked these days up in John Hart's storm reports plot archive, and it seems the results were pretty unimpressive. All of these were bust days, in the sense that there were severe thunderstorms but not outbreaks to justify this kind of product.
