VALID 270112Z - 270215Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTINUE FOR
ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS. OVERALL THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH WITH TIME
INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. A WATCH IS NOT EXPECTED.

DISCUSSION...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW
MORE HOURS THIS EVENING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF STRONGER
INSTABILITY. A WEAK UPPER SHORTWAVE EJECTING FROM EASTERN CO WAS
CONTRIBUTING TO EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 30-40 KT...WHICH WILL
MAINTAIN STORM ORGANIZATION AS THEY TRACK E/SE INTO EASTERLY SURFACE
FLOW AND HIGHER DEWPOINT AIRMASS. MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
LACKLUSTER...AND CURRENT MODEST INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF HEATING...LIMITING THE LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH
TIME. ADDITIONALLY...SPORADIC STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
A POSSIBILITY THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...BUT THIS THREAT ALSO WILL
DIMINISH WITH TIME AS BOUNDARY LAYER STABILIZATION CONTINUES INTO
THE NIGHTTIME HOURS.
