   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   CENTRAL/EASTERN SD/NEB...WEST TX...AND SOUTHERN OK/FAR NORTH
   TEXAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Storms capable of isolated large hail and damaging winds should
   continue across parts of the northern and central Plains for a few
   more hours this evening. Other storms capable of large hail and
   severe wind gusts also remain possible across parts of west Texas
   this evening, and southern Oklahoma/far north Texas late tonight.

   ...Northern/Central Plains...
   Widely scattered storms are ongoing this evening along and ahead of
   a cold front and surface trough extending across parts of the
   northern/central Plains. Modestly enhanced west-northwesterly winds
   exist across this region, and a favorable thermodynamic environment
   is present downstream of ongoing convection, particularly over parts
   of eastern SD/NE into north-central KS. Current expectations are for
   at least an isolated severe hail/wind threat to continue for a few
   more hours, before storms gradually weaken with eastward extent with
   the loss of daytime heating. For more information on the near-term
   severe risk across this area, see Mesoscale Discussions 947 and 948.

   ...Southern Plains...
   A few storms that developed earlier across parts of west TX
   along/east of a dryline should continue to pose an isolated large
   hail and severe wind gust threat this evening. Flow at both low/mid
   levels observed on the 00Z MAF sounding is weaker compared to
   locations farther north, which should keep the overall severe threat
   fairly isolated through the remainder of the evening. Additional
   storms may develop late tonight into early Sunday morning across
   parts of far north TX and southern OK as low-level southerly flow
   strengthens in tandem with a low-level jet. A substantial
   instability reservoir (MUCAPE 2000-3000+ J/kg) is expected to remain
   over this region, which may support mainly an isolated large hail
   threat with any storms that can form.

   ...Elsewhere...
   Marginal severe probabilities for hail/wind have been
   reduced/removed from much of the Midwest into the mid MS Valley and
   east TX, as well as parts of the East Coast. Nocturnal cooling of
   the boundary layer will result in a continued increase in convective
   inhibition through the rest of the evening and into tonight, with a
   diminishing severe risk evident.
