   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE
   CENTRAL PLAINS...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF
   WESTERN TENNESSEE AND ADJACENT NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA...
   
   ...CENTRAL PLAINS...
   BROADER SCALE UPPER TROUGHING WILL LINGER OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN
   U.S..WHILE SLOWLY EXPANDING EASTWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND
   NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD. 
   WITHIN THIS REGIME...THE STRONGEST SHORT WAVE IMPULSE IS NOW TURNING
   EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN...AND EXPECTED TO PROGRESS
   THROUGH CENTRAL WYOMING BY 12Z FRIDAY.  AS THIS OCCURS...VERY WARM
   ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AIR APPEARS LIKELY TO SPREAD EAST OF THE HIGH
   PLAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS BY LATE
   TONIGHT.
   
   INCREASING INHIBITION ASSOCIATED WITH WARMING ALOFT...AND SLOW
   BOUNDARY LAYER COOLING...PROBABLY WILL BEGIN TO SUPPRESS STORM
   CLUSTERS...WHICH ARE NOW ONGOING ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST
   COLORADO/WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA/AND CENTRAL KANSAS...BY
   03-06Z.  HOWEVER...UNTIL THEN...LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN A THREAT WITH
   STRONGER CELLS...AND HIGH WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN A THREAT IN
   OR NEAR STORM CLUSTERS UNTIL THEY DISSIPATE COMPLETELY.
   
   THE EVOLVING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER WESTERN/NORTHERN
   NEBRASKA MAY BE THE LONGEST LIVED OF CURRENT CONVECTION.  IT IS
   POSSIBLE THAT THIS ACTIVITY COULD CONTINUE AROUND THE EDGE OF THE
   MORE STRONGLY CAPPING ELEVATED MIXED LAYER INTO THE MID MISSOURI
   VALLEY LATER TONIGHT.  OR...IT MAY WEAKEN LATE THIS EVENING...WITH
   NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING OVERNIGHT...WITHIN A ZONE OF
   ENHANCED LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC WARM ADVECTION TO ITS EAST AND
   SOUTH...ACROSS THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY.
   
   ...PARTS OF WESTERN TENNESSEE...
   DEEP LAYER MEAN WESTERLY FLOW FIELDS ARE RATHER WEAK...BUT HEAVY
   PRECIPITATION LOADING ASSOCIATED WITH CONSOLIDATING CONVECTION OVER
   WESTERN TENNESSEE STILL POSES THE RISK FOR A STRONG DOWNBURST...AND
   POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ALONG AN EASTWARD SPREADING OUTFLOW
   THROUGH THE 02-03Z TIME FRAME.
   
   ...PARTS OF CNTRL PENNSYLVANIA INTO PARTS OF CNTRL VIRGINIA...
   LINGERING INSTABILITY MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ISOLATED
   STRONG/SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING NEAR AND TO THE LEE OF
   THE ALLEGHENY AND BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS...SUPPORTED BY FORCING
   ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPACT BUT FAIRLY VIGOROUS CLOSED LOW MIGRATING
   INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY.
