   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
   PLAINS/MIDDLE MISSOURI VALLEY...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the Central Plains
   and Middle Missouri River Valley on Thursday, with other
   strong/severe thunderstorms possible across the southern High Plains
   and from the Ozarks to the Mid-Atlantic region.

   ...Central Plains and Middle/Lower Missouri Valley...
   Guidance variability still exists in the Day 2 time frame, much of
   which is a byproduct of potential MCS development tonight (Wednesday
   night). Regardless, a severe risk is still probable particularly
   across parts of Nebraska/South Dakota, which would be on the western
   fringes of any convection/outflow/cold pool influences that linger
   Thursday morning. Regardless, the region will be influenced by a
   moderately strong belt of low-amplitude westerlies. A relatively
   moist/potentially unstable air mass is expected to materialize near
   a surface low/front along the South Dakota/Nebraska border vicinity
   and along/east of a southward-extending surface trough across
   west-central portions of Nebraska and Kansas.

   Surface-based convective development appears most likely to occur by
   mid/late afternoon across northeast Nebraska into southeast South
   Dakota. Steep lapse rates, moderate to strong buoyancy (2000-3500
   J/kg MLCAPE) in the presence of 40 kt effective shear will be
   favorable for supercells capable of large hail and possibly some
   tornado risk. One or more southeastward-moving forward-propagating
   clusters of storms could evolve during the evening and spread
   east-southeastward across the region with a wind/hail threat.

   ...Southern High Plains...
   At least isolated high-based thunderstorms are expected to develop
   within the hot/well-mixed boundary layer near a surface trough.
   Adequate moisture and moderate buoyancy will support the possibility
   of stronger storms, with some organization/sustenance possible aided
   by strengthening mid-level northwesterly winds. Isolated severe
   hail/wind appears possible including western portions of
   Kansas/Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle/northwest Texas particularly
   during the late afternoon and evening hours.

   ...Central/Southern Appalachians to Mid-Atlantic States...
   Near/south of a front across these regions, moderate instability may
   develop particularly across parts of Virginia/Delmarva Thursday
   afternoon. Deep-layer shear will not be strong, but 20-25 kt
   mid-level westerlies are expected to overlie much of the frontal
   corridor. Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible, with wind
   damage as the primary hazard. A categorical Slight Risk could
   eventually be warranted for parts of the region.
