   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CENTRAL
   PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST REGION...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered clusters of strong to severe storms will continue
   developing into tonight, mainly from the central Great Plains
   through the Midwest region. Damaging winds and large hail remain the
   primary hazards.

   ...Central Plains through the Midwest...

   Clusters of storms from NE into western KS may continue to
   consolidate as cold pools merge while developing southeast this
   evening. The downstream atmosphere is very unstable with 3000-3500
   J/kg MLCAPE. However, convective inhibition will increase this
   evening as the surface layer cools, which in conjunction with lack
   of a nocturnal low-level jet, lends some uncertainty to how far
   southeast the storms can be sustained. Other storms are developing
   over eastern MO with some backbuilding indicated along the outflow
   boundary. Primary forcing mechanism will be lift along the evolving
   cold pools as outflow boundaries merge and consolidate with damaging
   wind and large hail the main threats. 

   ...Ohio Valley through the Northeast States...

   The stronger storms over the northeast states are in the process of
   moving offshore. Farther upstream across the OH Valley, a few
   multicell storms persist from southern IN through southern OH. This
   activity may remain capable of a few locally strong to severe gusts
   and hail through about 02Z or 03Z but an overall weakening trend is
   anticipated as the boundary layer stabilizes in the presence of weak
   forcing.
