   COAST CONTINUES EWD TO ERN GULF BY 12Z THU. 
   
   DEEPENING SURFACE LOW LEE OF CENTRAL ROCKIES TODAY MOVES INTO WRN
   KS BY 12Z THU WITH COLD FRONT TRAILING SWWD ACROSS SRN ROCKIES AND

   AHEAD OF COLD FRONT ACROSS VA/NC AVAILABLE MOISTURE IS
   LIMITED...HOWEVER FULL HEATING COUPLED WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE
   RATES WILL SUPPORT A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT BY MID
   AFTERNOON. MUCAPES WILL GENERALLY BY LESS THAN 1000 J/KG HOWEVER. 
   THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG/AHEAD OF COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON
   WITH POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED HAIL/DAMAGING WIND EVENTS GIVEN THE
   STEEP RELATIVELY COOL LAPSE RATES IN THE AREA.  ACTIVITY EXPECTED
   TO REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY ISOLATED TO PRECLUDE A SLIGHT RISK ATTM.
   
   ...FL...

   COOLING SPREADS EWD WITH APPROACH OF UPPER TROUGH.  THE SFC LOW
   OVER GULF NOT EXPECTED TO SHOW MUCH INTENSIFICATION AS IT MOVES
   EWD... THEREFORE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LESS THAN 20 KT.
   WHILE CAPES GRADUALLY CLIMB THRU THE PERIOD AS SLY WINDS BRING
   HIGHER MOISTURE NWD ACROSS FL...AVAILABLE INSTABILITY EXPECTED TO
   REMAIN LIMITED FOR SUPPORT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE
   RELATIVELY COOL AIR ALOFT AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ...A FEW
   STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED BY TONIGHT. LIMITED
   COVERAGE PRECLUDES UPGRADING TO A SLIGHT.
