   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MIDWEST
   AND GREAT LAKES REGION AS WELL AS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few strong to severe storms will persist this evening over parts
   the Midwest, Great Lakes and the central High Plain. Other strong to
   severe storms are possible later tonight across parts of Kansas and
   OK. Isolated large hail and damaging wind are the primary threats.

   ...Midwest and Great Lakes region...

   Line of multicell storms will continue to pose some threat for
   isolated strong to damaging wind through mid evening as they move
   through remaining corridor of moderate instability. Activity should
   begin to weaken by 03Z as the boundary layer stabilizes.

   ...Central High Plains...

   Storms will continue moving off the higher terrain and into the High
   Plains within a low-level upslope regime and an environment
   characterized by moderate instability and supercell wind profiles.
   Isolated damaging wind and large hail remain possible this evening,
   but activity should begin to diminish after 03Z as convective
   inhibition increases.

   ...Kansas and Oklahoma...

   An outflow boundary has advanced through much of OK and now extends
   from the northwest part of the state southeastward through
   southeastern OK. Towering cumulus has been observed on visible
   imagery, but capping evident on the 00Z Norman RAOB suggests it may
   be difficult to initiate storms along this boundary given presence
   of only modest and shallow convergence and the onset of nocturnal
   cooling. Storms will most likely develop later this evening or
   tonight as the low-level jet increases and augments isentropic
   ascent north of the boundary across KS into northern OK. Moderate
   instability and steep mid-level lapse rates will support some threat
   for isolated large hail, and a few locally strong to damaging gusts
   will also be possible.

   Otherwise, small cluster of storms moving into northwest TX will
   pose a risk for downburst winds and hail through about 02Z before
   weakening as the surface layer stabilizes and convective inhibition
   increases.
