...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
MID ATLANTIC...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will continue this evening across parts of the
Midwest and Great Lakes region. This includes the potential for
tornadoes (possibly strong), widespread/intense damaging winds (some
75+ mph), and isolated hail.

...Parts of the Midwest/Great Lakes...
A rather volatile environment remains in place this evening across
parts of IL/IN and southwest Lower MI, especially in the vicinity of
a modified outflow across northern IL/IN. Rich low-level moisture,
moderate to strong buoyancy, and strong low-level shear/SRH will
continue to support all severe hazards through much of the evening.
Convection has largely taken on a linear or cluster mode, with an
attendant threat of severe/damaging gusts and line-embedded
tornadoes. Any discrete cells that can be maintained within or ahead
of ongoing convection will continue to pose a conditional
strong-tornado threat, along with isolated hail potential. See MCD
1101 and MCD 1102 for more information regarding the short-term
threat in this area. 

Increasing CINH and decreasing MLCAPE with eastward extent should
eventually result in a weakening trend, though an organized severe
threat may reach parts of southeast MI and western OH later tonight.


...OK/TX into MO/northern AR...
Scattered strong to locally severe storms are ongoing from parts of
western/central OK into MO, generally along or just behind a
southward moving cold front. Moderate to strong buoyancy and
deep-layer shear of around 25-35 kt near the front will continue to
support occasional storm organization and a continued threat of hail
and localized severe gusts, though convection may increasingly
become undercut by the front with time. An isolated severe threat
may eventually spread toward the Red River into western/northern AR
late tonight. 

...Mid Atlantic vicinity...
Loosely organized storm clusters with a history of producing wind
damage are approaching the Mid Atlantic coast this evening. While
deep-layer shear will continue to be modest at best, a very
warm/moist boundary layer and moderate buoyancy will continue to
support potential for strong to locally severe gusts and scattered
wind damage, before convection weakens and/or moves offshore later
tonight.
