   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE NORTHEAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few severe thunderstorms will linger across upstate New York into
   northern Vermont this evening. Otherwise, isolated strong storms
   remain possible for the next few hours across portions of the
   southern Rockies region and middle Atlantic.

   ...Northeast...

   Low-amplitude short-wave trough is ejecting northeast across
   southeast ON/southern QC. Southern influence of this feature appears
   to be partly responsible for ongoing convection over upstate NY.
   Latest radar data suggests a few supercells persist along a corridor
   from Hamilton County NY to southwest of BTV. This activity is
   currently spreading across the primary instability axis
   characterized by MLCAPE on the order of 1000 J/kg with strong shear
   supportive of supercells. However, over the next few hours, loss of
   daytime heating and downstream air mass not as buoyant, suggests
   convection should begin to gradually decrease.

   ...Southern Rockies...

   Scattered convection that developed across much of the southern
   Rockies this afternoon has effectively overturned instability across
   CO/NM. While gusty winds may continue with the strongest storms for
   the next few hours, overall trends suggest the severe threat is
   waning.
