   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 553, 556 continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watches 553 and
   556. Large hail and damaging gusts appear to be the main threats,
   though a couple of tornadoes remain possible with the stronger, more
   sustained supercellular storms.

   DISCUSSION...Another line of semi-discrete thunderstorms have
   recently developed across the western fringe of the warm sector,
   within Tornado Watches 533 and 556. Surface temperatures exceeding
   70F, with low 60s F dewpoints overspread by 6.5-7.5 C/km mid-level
   lapse rates (per latest mesoanalysis) are contributing to 1000-1500
   J/kg MLCAPE, suggesting that strong to severe storms will continue
   across the Watch areas for at least a few more hours. All severe
   hazards have recently been observed with some of the stronger
   storms. While a strong LLJ is contributing to significant low-level
   speed shear (with 200-300 0-1 km and effective SRH noted by the
   latest SRX and SGF VWPs), these VWPs also show decreasing hodograph
   curvature, potentially limiting the tornado threat to a degree.
   Nonetheless, large hail and damaging gusts are still expected to
   continue, and a couple of tornadoes cannot be ruled out given the
   overall magnitudes of the low-level shear.
