   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 373
   continues.

   SUMMARY...An isolated strong storm to the south of Emporia, KS may
   pose some continuing risk for severe hail and locally strong surface
   gusts for another hour or two, before perhaps spreading
   northeastward and weakening.

   DISCUSSION...Strong convection has become confined to an isolated
   intense cell, generally focused within an area of enhanced lower/mid
   tropospheric warm advection, to the south of the broad and deep
   cyclone centered over the eastern Canadian Prairies.  This has been
   supported by shear on the southern fringe of the stronger cyclone
   flow, and inflow of unstable air emanating from a boundary-layer
   characterized by mixed-layer CAPE up to 4000 J/kg.  

   As mid-level heights rise and boundary-layer cooling progresses
   during the next few hours, thunderstorm intensity seems likely to
   wane, though it is possible remnant convection may begin to shift
   back to the north/northeast before dissipating.
