   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 205, 206
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts remain a concern with convection
   nearing the Atlantic Coast. A few isolated storms near the Blue
   Ridge and along the cold front may pose a low-end threat for strong
   winds.

   DISCUSSION...The most intense and organized convection near the
   Atlantic Coast will impact portions or northern and central New
   Jersey into western Long Island. Surface observations show much
   cooler air in central and eastern Long Island. Parts of this
   convective line will likely move offshore within the next hour. With
   a narrow corridor of temperatures into the mid/upper 80s F, damaging
   gusts will be possible in the short term. In Maryland and northern
   Virginia, convection has been more of a broken line. A similar
   hot/unstable airmass is ahead of a cluster now approaching the
   Delmarva. Damaging gusts will be possible here for the next 1-1.5
   hours. A small cluster has recently developed along the Blue Ridge
   and is moving east. This may pose a threat for damaging gusts as
   well, but stable air awaits this activity in the wake of early
   convection and continued loss of boundary-layer heating. This threat
   will be likely short-lived.

   Farther north and west along the synoptic cold front, lingering
   convection may persist this evening. With the boundary layer
   stabilizing, isolated strong gusts would be the main threat before
   this activity diminishes.
