   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
   WESTERN NEW YORK...MOST OF PENNSYLVANIA...WESTERN NEW
   JERSEY...EASTERN MARYLAND...DELAWARE...NORTHEAST VIRGINIA...

   CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCE

   ...SUMMARY...
   Damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes remain possible tonight
   across the Mid-Atlantic States.

   ...Discussion...
   Expansive upper trough continues to move across the eastern CONUS,
   interacting with a modestly moist and unstable air mass ahead of it
   to provoke scattered thunderstorm development from Lake Erie
   southward into GA. Numerous watches, both Severe Thunderstorm and
   Tornado, are in effect to cover this threat. Most significant
   changes to the outlook have been made on the western edge, where the
   outlook was trimmed based on the position the surface trough.

   Southern portion of the organized line extending from far western NY
   through WV is beginning to show signs of better organization and
   stronger updrafts. The northern portion near the NY/PA border
   remains fairly strong while storms along the line just south (across
   western PA) have struggled to maintain intensity. Expectation is for
   this entire line to gradually strengthen as the upper trough
   continues eastward and the associated height falls spread across the
   region.

   Additionally, an increase in storms is anticipated from central
   South Carolina through central North Carolina and into south-central
   Virginia as the low-level jet increases. This initially cellular
   activity could pose a threat for damaging wind gusts and a tornado
   or two.
