   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
   NEW ENGLAND SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE MIDWEST/OHIO VALLEY REGION...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered to isolated strong thunderstorms are expected from
   northern New England southwestward across the Lower Great Lakes and
   into the Ohio Valley Monday afternoon and evening, accompanied by
   local risk for gusty/potentially damaging winds.

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper low centered over northeastern Manitoba/northwestern
   Ontario early today is forecast to move slowly southeastward across
   Ontario, with cyclonic flow surrounding the low forecast to expand
   gradually into/across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region. 
   Upstream, ridging is expected over the Rockies, with weak troughing
   over the West Coast states expected to begin advancing eastward into
   the Intermountain region overnight.

   At the surface, a cool front associated with the eastern Canada
   low/trough is forecast to cross the Lower Great Lakes/Ohio Valley
   area during the afternoon and evening, with the trailing portion of
   this boundary to sag slowly southward into Oklahoma and northwest
   Texas through the afternoon and evening.  This boundary will focus
   an expansive zone of convection from the Northeast to the southern
   Rockies.

   ...Northern New England to the Lower Great Lakes/Ohio Valley...
   As scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms develop in the
   vicinity of the aforementioned cool front, relatively weak shear
   should limit potential for organized/severe storms -- especially
   from the Mississippi River area westward.  Slightly
   stronger/westerly flow aloft is progged from the Ohio Valley
   northeastward -- mainly in the 20 to 30 kt range.  This slightly
   greater shear may be sufficient to promote a few stronger/multicell
   storm clusters, capable of producing locally gusty winds and some
   tree damage -- especially from mid afternoon through early evening. 
   Storm intensity should gradually diminish through the evening, with
   the onset of diurnal cooling.
