   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
   PENNSYLVANIA INTO THE DELMARVA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A couple strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across the Mid
   Atlantic by early morning, towards the end of the period.

   ...Synopsis...
   A strong mid-level cyclone will continue to deepen while progressing
   eastward across the Upper Mississippi Valley through 12Z (the end of
   the forecast period). While the associated mid/upper level longwave
   trough deepens, a belt of 60-90 kt 500 mb flow will pivot around the
   trough and overspread a 50-70 kt southerly 850 mb jet centered over
   the Hudson Valley in the 07-12Z period. At the surface, strong
   convergence along a lee-trough axis/cold front will promote the
   development and organization of low-topped convection capable of
   producing strong wind gusts. 

   ...Mid Atlantic...
   As the surface cold front crosses the Appalachians and approaches
   the lee trough, low-level convergence is expected to increase as the
   50-70 kt low-level jet materializes and modest theta-e advection
   ensues. The 00Z GSO and WAL observed soundings depict upper 50s F
   surface dewpoints, but overall shallow moisture in the surface-850
   mb layer. As such, buoyancy is expected to remain quite marginal
   when warm-air advection occurs, with MLCAPE likely remaining under
   500 J/kg on a widespread basis. Nonetheless, a narrow, low-topped
   squall line is expected to develop along the immediate lee of the
   surface trough axis around 07-09Z. Point forecast soundings across
   portions of eastern PA southward towards Delmarva suggest that 50 kt
   southerly winds may occur as low as 400-500 m AGL. Despite the lack
   of buoyancy, any mechanically driven downward momentum transport
   within the line may support a couple strong wind gusts, with an
   instance or two of tree/power-line damage possible with the stronger
   gusts, hence the introduction of Category 1/MRGL probabilities. The
   damaging-gust threat is expected to persist past 12Z into the Day 2
   period east of the current MRGL risk area.
