   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING FROM
   THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS EASTWARD TO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...AS
   WELL AS OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES....

   ...SUMMARY...
   Damaging thunderstorm wind and isolated large hail are possible from
   portions of the central High Plains to the Mid-Atlantic.  A tornado
   threat also exists over parts of the central Gulf Coast States to
   southwestern Georgia, east of the inland track of Tropical Storm
   Claudette.

   ...AL/GA/FL...
   Strong low-mid level wind fields in the southeastern quadrant of TS
   Claudette will continue to result in favorable vertical shear
   profiles for rotating storms through the afternoon and evening over
   parts of AL, GA, and the FL Panhandle.  Please refer to WW 285 for
   further details.

   ...OH to Mid Atlantic Region...
   Overnight convection has resulted in a large canopy of mid/high
   clouds across portions of eastern OH and western/central PA.  This
   will significantly limit daytime heating and destabilization later
   today.  Therefore, have adjusted the SLGT risk area farther south
   into parts of OH/WV/MD where stronger heating is expected, and where
   CAM guidance in is better agreement regarding thunderstorm
   development.  A shortwave trough currently over Lower MI will help
   to initiate storms across northern OH by mid-afternoon, with storms
   tracking southeastward through the evening.  Other more isolated
   clusters of activity are expected from WV into the Chesapeake Valley
   this afternoon.  All of these storms will pose some risk of locally
   damaging wind gusts and hail.

   ...Central High Plains...
   Strong daytime heating and ample low-level moisture will lead to
   scattered thunderstorms by mid/late afternoon over the foothills and
   adjacent plains of central CO and southeast WY.  Storms will spread
   eastward and intensify by early evening, with several CAM solutions
   suggesting congealing cold-pools and the risk of significant
   damaging winds across parts of southwest NE and northeast KS. 
   Considered an upgrade to ENH, but will maintain SLGT due to lack of
   a well-defined shortwave trough and relatively weak midlevel winds. 
   Nevertheless, will re-evaluate the risk category at 20z.

   ...MO/IL/IN...
   Visible satellite imagery shows a large area of ACCAS and isolated
   thunderstorms from portions of northeast MO into central IL.  Ample
   low-level moisture and strong heating in this region will yield
   afternoon MLCAPE values over 3500 J/kg and the potential for intense
   thunderstorms.  12z CAMs differ in their convective solutions over
   this area, but it is likely that one or more clusters of severe
   storms will develop this afternoon and evening.  Storms that develop
   will pose a risk of large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a
   tornado.  Please refer to MCD #1009 for details on one particular
   cluster of ongoing storms.
