   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
   THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE OZARKS AND FROM THE BLUE RIDGE TO
   SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Marginally severe thunderstorms associated with hail and strong wind
   gusts will be possible in parts of the southern Plains and from
   southern New England to far southeastern New York. Storms with
   strong wind gusts will be possible in the Ozarks and from the Blue
   Ridge Mountains into the Mid-Atlantic.

   ...Southern Plains/Ozarks...
   A shortwave trough will move slowly southeastward across the central
   Plains today as a cold front advances southward into the southern
   Plains. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints in the 60s F across
   west Texas and in the lower 70s F across Oklahoma into the Ozarks,
   will contribute to a corridor of moderate instability by early
   afternoon. Isolated thunderstorms may initiate along parts of the
   front during the afternoon from west Texas eastward into central
   Oklahoma where the instability, deep-layer shear of 20 to 30 kt, and
   steep mid-level lapse rates could be enough for hail and strong wind
   gusts. Further to the east across the Ozarks, scattered
   thunderstorms will also be possible this afternoon. A few marginally
   severe wind gusts may occur with cells as low-level lapse rates
   become steep in the early to mid afternoon.

   ...Blue Ridge Mountains/Mid-Atlantic/Southern New England...
   An upper-level trough will move eastward across the Great Lakes
   region today as mid-level flow remains westerly across much of the
   Eastern Seaboard. At the surface, a moist airmass will be in place
   across the Southeast extending northeastward to the Mid-Atlantic and
   southern New England. In response, moderate instability is expected
   to develop by midday across much of this area. Thunderstorms appear
   likely to first develop in the higher terrain of the southern
   Appalachians late this morning, spreading eastward across the Blue
   Ridge during the early to mid afternoon. Thunderstorm development
   will also be possible from the Mid-Atlantic into southern New
   England. The instability combined with steep low-level lapse rates
   could be enough for a marginal wind-damage threat from the southern
   Appalachians to the Mid-Atlantic. In far southeast New York and
   southern New England, deep-layer shear is expected to be stronger
   than further to the south. For this reason, thunderstorms that form
   along a cold front could have potential for hail and strong wind
   gusts.
