   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE CENTRAL PLAINS...MID MISSISSIPPI
   VALLEY...SOUTHEAST...MID-ATLANTIC...EASTERN NORTH
   CAROLINA...NORTHERN ROCKIES AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS....

   ...SUMMARY...
   Marginally severe thunderstorms will be possible from mid afternoon
   into early evening in parts of the central Plains, mid Mississippi
   Valley, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, eastern North Carolina, northern
   Rockies and northern High Plains.

   ...Central Plains/Mid Mississippi Valley/Southeast...
   A very moist airmass will be in place across much of the
   south-central U.S. today. A large area with surface dewpoints in the
   70s F will be located from the central Plains southeastward into the
   lower to mid Mississippi Valley. By afternoon, moderate to strong
   instability will be in place across most of the moist airmass, with
   model forecasts showing MLCAPE generally ranging from 2500 to 4500
   J/kg. Thunderstorm development will be most likely this afternoon
   from the mid Missouri Valley southeastward into parts of the
   Southeast along a northwest-to-southeast gradient of instability.
   Although deep-layer shear along this corridor is forecast to be
   weak, steep low-level lapse rates may result in strong outflow gusts
   with cells that develop in areas that strongly destabilize. The
   threat should be concentrated mostly in the late afternoon and early
   evening.

   ...Mid-Atlantic/Eastern North Carolina...
   An upper-level low will move slowly northeastward across New England
   today. An upper-level trough associated with the slow-moving system
   will extend south-southwestward along the Eastern Seaboard. A pocket
   of moderate instability is expected to develop near the trough this
   afternoon from eastern North Carolina into eastern Virginia. As this
   destabilization occurs, thunderstorms should initiate in the higher
   terrain of the central Appalachians. This convection is forecast to
   move southeastward into the lower elevations during the mid to late
   afternoon. The instability combined with moderate deep-layer shear
   and steep low-level lapse rates could be enough for a marginal
   wind-damage threat with the better-organized line segments.

   ...Northern Rockies/Northern High Plains...
   An upper-level trough will move northeastward across the
   northwestern U.S. today as southwest mid-level flow remains over the
   northern Rockies and northern High Plains. A corridor of instability
   is expected to develop by afternoon just ahead of the trough across
   southwest and central Montana. Although instability should remain
   weak in most areas, strong large-scale ascent should support
   isolated to scattered thunderstorm development. Moderate deep-layer
   shear and steep low to mid-level lapse rates will probably be enough
   for an isolated wind-damage and hail threat late this afternoon.
