...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
OF THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST STATES...

...SUMMARY...
A marginal risk for a strong wind gust or two exists over a small
portion of the Ohio Valley early this evening and a small part of
the Southeast States later during the evening.

...Ohio Valley...

A strongly forced band of low-topped convection with very little
lightning activity persists across western OH into northern KY.
Activity is embedded within strong wind profiles with 50 kt observed
just below 1 km on VWP data. A strong wind gust or two cannot be
ruled out in association with this activity through about 03Z, but
the thermodynamic environment is very marginal with MLCAPE near or
less than 200 J/kg. Further weakening is expected toward mid evening
as activity continues east toward more limited instability. 

...Southeast States...

Models continue to indicate that another round of thunderstorms will
develop later this evening from central through northeast AL into
northwest GA along and just ahead of a cold front as a weak impulse
rotates through the base of the OH Valley shortwave trough. The
thermodynamic environment in this region will remain very marginal
as depicted by the 00Z RAOB from Birmingham. Through 0-2 km winds
will tend to slowly veer and weaken as the primary low-level jet
develops northward toward the OH Valley, vertical shear profiles
will remain strong. Although it is likely that developing storms
will be at least slightly elevated above a stable surface layer, a
strong wind gust or two cannot be ruled out.
