   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE BLACK
   HILLS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe storms with large hail and damaging winds remain possible
   this evening over the central and northern High Plains. A few strong
   wind gusts also remain possible from the Ohio Valley into parts of
   the Northeast.

   ...Black Hills into the Central Plains...
   Strong to severe storms capable of severe wind gusts and large hail
   currently extend from the Black Hills where deep-layer shear is most
   favorable southward into the TX Panhandle where shear is weak. These
   storms may eventually consolidate into larger clusters or an MCS
   this evening as they persist southeastward across NE and KS.

   ...OH Valley into the Northeast...
   Scattered storms persist with a warm, moist pre-frontal air mass
   from the Midwest and OH Valley into the Northeast. A large outflow
   boundary is currently shifting south into KY and eastward into WV,
   but much of this convection is weakening. Stronger storms, however,
   do persist into southern IL and IN where MLCAPE to 3000 J/kg
   remains.

   Farther northeast, sporadic clusters of storms remain ongoing from
   northern PA into southeast NY, with forward motion aided by modest
   westerlies aloft. With time, this activity should weaken due to time
   of day. However, a few strong to severe wind gusts remain possible
   through evening, especially over northern/central PA, while the NY
   activity will soon encounter stable air to the east.
