   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER
   THE LOWER MS VALLEY...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT FROM
   CNTRL NY SWD THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES INTO NRN FL...
   
   ...MID MS/LOWER OH VALLEY...
   SCATTERED TO WIDELY SCATTERED LOW-TOPPED TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED
   THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS BENEATH MID-LEVEL COLD
   POOL WHERE DAYTIME HEATING HAS RESULTED IN STEEPENING LOW TO
   MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND WEAK INSTABILITY. MAJORITY OF ACTIVITY
   THUS FAR HAS BEEN CONCENTRATED INVOF SURFACE LOW /COINCIDENT WITH
   MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION/ SSEWD ALONG WEAK WARM FRONT FROM E-CNTRL IA
   INTO CNTRL IL. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN FOCUSED ALONG
   TRAILING COLD FRONT/WIND SHIFT FROM N-CNTRL INTO WRN MO AND SERN KS
   IN ZONE OF ENHANCED LARGE-SCALE FORCING AHEAD OF VORTICITY MAX
   DIVING SEWD INTO MEAN TROUGH POSITION.
   
   COLD THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES WILL REMAIN SUPPORTIVE OF MARGINALLY
   SEVERE HAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
   EVENING HOURS. FASTER STORM MOTIONS OBSERVED OVER SWRN MO MAY
   PROMOTE LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS AS WELL. ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH
   LATER THIS EVENING AS BOUNDARY-LAYER COOLS.
   
   ...NY SWD INTO NC...
   CLOUD BREAKS COUPLED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A
   WEAKLY TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE PRE-FRONTAL AIRMASS THIS AFTERNOON
   FROM THE PIEDMONT REGION NWD INTO CNTRL PORTIONS OF PA AND NY.
   LATEST RUC ANALYSIS FIELDS SUGGEST THAT STRONGEST DYNAMIC FORCING
   AHEAD OF MID-LEVEL TROUGH HAS BEGUN TO SPREAD EWD ACROSS DEVELOPING
   INSTABILITY AXIS. ADDITIONALLY...STRONGER MID AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS
   ARE CURRENTLY SHIFTING EWD ATOP SLY/SSELY SURFACE WINDS WITH SHEAR
   PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF SMALL-SCALE BOWING STRUCTURES WITHIN EVOLVING
   LOW-TOPPED CONVECTIVE LINE. 
   
   DAMAGING WINDS APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT AS CONVECTIVE
   MODE SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY LINEAR. NONETHELESS...AN ISOLATED TORNADO
   WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A CORRIDOR FROM N-CNTRL VA NWD THROUGH CNTRL
   PA/NY WHERE STRONGEST ISALLOBARIC GRADIENT /EVIDENT IN PRONOUNCED
   PRESSURE RISE/FALL COUPLET/ IS ENHANCING LOW-LEVEL SHEAR.
   
   ...SERN STATES/FL...
   SMALL MCS HAS SLOWLY EVOLVED TODAY OVER GA WITH LATEST RADAR TRENDS
   SUGGESTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BOOKEND VORTEX AND RESULTING BOWING
   STRUCTURE ON LEADING EDGE OF COLD POOL. DOWNSTREAM AIRMASS ACROSS
   ERN GA AND SC HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON AS
   TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED THROUGH THE 70S INTO LOWER 80S WITH
   DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. THIS INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH
   STRENGTHENING MID AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS FROM THE W WILL SUPPORT A
   CONTINUED THREAT OF MAINLY DAMAGING WINDS EWD TOWARD THE ATLANTIC
   COAST THIS EVENING. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...PLEASE SEE MCD 558.
   
   
   FARTHER S ACROSS THE ERN FL PENINSULA SWWD INTO ERN GULF OF
   MEXICO...FRONTAL BAND OF TSTMS HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST COUPLE
   OF HOURS. THOUGH STRONGEST DYNAMIC FORCING IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN N
   OF AREA...MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS NRN PENINSULA
   WILL SUPPORT A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH MOST INTENSE STORMS THROUGH
   THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
