   SEVERAL VIGOROUS CELLS PERSIST ACROSS SRN AR INTO NWRN MS...ON THE
   LEADING EDGE OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AS WELL AS ALONG A WEAK FRONT
   ACROSS NRN MS/AL. ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS ARE MARGINAL WITH
   20-30 KT MID LEVEL FLOW NOTED ON AREA PROFILERS...STRONG
   THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE IN PLACE WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
   AROUND 7.5 C/KM. THUS...EXPECT STORMS TO PERSIST FOR SEVERAL MORE
   HOURS AS THEY DEVELOP AND PROPAGATE ESEWD INTO THIS MODERATELY
   UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER...WEAK FLOW FIELDS SUGGEST THE SEVERE
