   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
   CENTRAL PLAINS AND MID-SOUTH INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA...

   CORRECTED FOR MARGINAL WORDING

   ...SUMMARY...
   Marginally severe storms remain possible tonight across the central
   Plains and lower Mississippi Valley.

   ...01z Update...

   Low-level warm advection will likely be the primary mechanism for
   convection across the central Plains tonight. Thunderstorms are
   gradually increasing in areal coverage, and some intensity, across
   the MRGL Risk as LLJ strengthens across central KS into this region.
   Early thoughts regarding this scenario remain.

   Low-level warm advection is also expected to induce convection along
   a corridor from southern AR, arcing across the Mid-South into
   northwest GA. Weak band of convection that currently extends across
   southern MS/AL should gradually lift north with time as LLJ
   strengthens across the upper TX Coast/LA into southeast AR later
   this evening. Storms should increase along the nose of this feature,
   likely continuing into the pre-dawn hours.
