...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE HIGH PLAINS AND FROM THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS TO THE SOUTHERN
DELMARVA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms will linger across parts of the High
Plains and from eastern Tennessee to the southern Delmarva.

...01z Update...

Long-lived MCS that developed over KS has since progressed
downstream across the TN Valley where it is quickly decreasing in
intensity. While a remnant MCV remains evident along the KY/TN
border southwest of LOZ, this feature is encountering increasingly
stable air mass as it approaches the central Appalachians. 00z
sounding from RNK exhibits steep low-level lapse rates but only .66
PW with surface dew points in the mid 40s. Convection should
continue along a corridor immediately ahead of the MCV into the
southern Delmarva tonight; however, limited buoyancy warrants only a
MRGL Risk the rest of the period.

Across the High Plains, very hot surface temperatures across
west-central TX have contributed to scattered high-based
thunderstorms south of a stalled frontal zone. This activity will
linger for several hours along with some risk for hail/wind.

Short-wave ridging across the northern/central High Plains is
flattening this evening ahead of a short-wave trough that should
migrate into western WY by sunrise.  Scattered strong/locally severe
thunderstorms should linger across this region tonight as LLJ is
expected to increase, partly in response to approaching short wave.
00z soundings from this region are not particularly unstable, but
steep lapse rates do favor some threat for hail/wind.
