...MID MS VALLEY...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS PROGRESSIVE SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE
CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. THIS FEATURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE MID MS
VALLEY AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES STATES TONIGHT. THE MAIN SURFACE

OK. THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT REMAINS RATHER MOIST AND
MARGINALLY UNSTABLE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AND MUCAPE VALUES AS
HIGH AS 500 J/KG. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE

LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR IN THIS REGION FOR EMBEDDED BOW/LEWP
CONFIGURATIONS CAPABLE OF GUSTY WINDS. WEAK LAPSE RATES SHOULD
LIMIT THE THREAT OF HAIL...AND STRONGLY VEERED NEAR-SURFACE WINDS
SHOULD LIMIT LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND TORNADO THREAT.
