   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE OHIO
   VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Damaging winds will continue ahead of a long-lived Derecho that is
   progressing across the Ohio Valley. Isolated severe gusts are also
   possible extending west into portions of Kansas/northern Oklahoma.

   ...Ohio Valley...

   Early-day MCS that formed over southeast SD/northeast NE quickly
   grew upscale into a damaging Derecho then progressed across
   IA/northern IL into the northern OH Valley. Leading squall line has
   surged across southwest lower MI, arcing along the IN/OH border into
   southern IN. Air mass downstream across eastern OH/western PA is
   notably drier and more stable than regions farther west across the
   lower OH Valley. This elongated MCS should gradually slow its
   forward propagation and eventually lessen in intensity. Have
   extended severe probabilities downstream to account for some
   uncertainty regarding the eastern edge of this severe threat. Until
   this squall line weakens damaging wind threat will continue.

   Farther southwest across southern IN/southern IL/southern MO, what
   appears to be the weak remnants of an old MCV has progressed into
   east-central MO, northwest of St. Louis. Convection has gradually
   expanded in areal coverage/intensity ahead of this feature and a
   more expansive precip shield/cold pool is forming. This evolution
   will likely contribute to a more southeastward-moving squall line
   that could surge across western KY toward parts of western/middle TN
   later this evening. These trends warrant extending higher severe
   probabilities into portions of TN.

   ...KS/OK...

   Surface front currently trails west across KS along the I-70
   corridor. Northwesterly flow is forecast to deepen across the
   central Plains in the wake of a short-wave trough as it translates
   through the mid-MS Valley. Over the last few hours, convection has
   gradually expanded along a corridor from the northern TX Panhandle
   into west-central KS. There is some indication this activity may
   continue to expand in areal coverage and subsequent movement could
   result in strong/severe convective threat spreading southeast across
   southern KS and northern OK. Damaging winds are the primary threat.
