   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
   THE NORTHEAST STATES...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered severe thunderstorms primarily capable of producing
   damaging winds will continue across parts of the Northeast states
   this evening.

   ...Northeastern States...

   Weak mid-level height falls will spread across the northern Middle
   Atlantic this evening ahead of the short-wave trough ejecting across
   the Ohio Valley. A corridor of untapped instability currently
   resides across the Middle Atlantic from VA into southeastern PA
   where MLCAPE values range from 1500-2000 J/kg. Scattered convection
   is approaching this reservoir of buoyancy and vertical shear remains
   strong -- supportive of organized updrafts. 00z sounding from RNK
   has sampled the convective generation zone well and this profile
   supports maintaining SLGT Risk across this region until
   thunderstorms spread toward the Atlantic Coast. For more information
   on this scenario, reference MCD # 763.

   Farther north across New England, organized convection is
   progressing across northern NH into northwestern ME where a narrow
   axis of instability remains. Locally damaging winds can be expected
   for the next few hours with this activity.
