   Valid 210100Z - 211200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NEBRASKA INTO
   NORTHERN KANSAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered severe storms capable of damaging winds and large hail
   will remain possible through evening mainly over the central Plains.
   Other isolated strong storms may persist from Tennessee to the Mid
   Atlantic.

   ...Central Plains...
   Several clusters of severe storms persist this evening from the
   SD/NE border into southwest NE and into eastern CO. The most
   favorable combination of instability and deep-layer shear exists
   from NE northward, beneath enhanced northwesterlies with a shortwave
   trough. An increasing low-level jet this evening may further favor a
   continued severe wind and hail threat as storms propagate
   south/southeast, with threat centered over NE and into KS. For more
   information see mesoscale discussion 1295. 

   ...TN into the Mid Atlantic...
   Scattered diurnal storms persist as of 01Z, but will wane in
   coverage and intensity through the evening with the loss of heating.
   A few strong or locally damaging wind gusts remain possible for a
   few hours, mainly from TN into NC.
