   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PARTS OF THE
   MIDWEST...SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS...AND SOUTHEAST AZ/SOUTHWEST NM...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening across
   parts of the Midwest, southern Great Plains, and far southeast
   Arizona/southwest New Mexico.

   ...Lower MI to IL...
   The threat for isolated severe hail and damaging winds may persist
   for a couple more hours. Leading activity has largely weakened over
   the past few hours after shifting away from the instability axis
   into lesser MLCAPE/greater MLCIN. Attempts at redevelopment along
   the surface cold front have occurred in northeast IL to central
   Lower MI. The longevity of the severe threat in MI will likely be
   limited by a substantially cooler boundary layer. An upstream feed
   of larger buoyancy (sampled by 00Z Lincoln IL sounding) should
   support somewhat longer lingering of isolated severe potential in
   east-central IL into northwest/west-central IN.

   ...Western OK to southeast KS...
   Thunderstorms appear to be peaking in coverage along the
   southward-sagging trailing cold front. Moderate to large buoyancy
   (per 00Z Norman sounding) exists within a confined plume in the
   central OK to southeast KS portion of the frontal zone, with weaker
   MLCAPE/drier boundary layer farther west. Isolated severe wind and
   hail will remain possible for a couple more hours before updraft
   intensities wane after dusk. Sporadic elevated convection may
   persist tonight farther south in OK to the Ozarks within a weak
   low-level warm advection regime, but severe potential should be
   minimal.

   ...Southeast AZ/southwest NM...
   A few discrete cells may pose a threat for isolated severe wind and
   hail within a belt of favorable mid-level speed shear and a
   well-mixed boundary layer. The degree of shear (effective values
   around 40 kt per 00Z Tucson and El Paso soundings) will likely
   maintain discrete character until convection weakens after dusk.
