CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 629...

VALID 282247Z - 282345Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 629
CONTINUES.

THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME HAIL WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SRN

WW IS NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED.

AS OF 2230Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED A QUASI-LINEAR MCS
EXTENDING FROM FAR WRN PA SWWD ACROSS SRN OH.  THE NERN EXTENSION OF
THIS MCS OVER FAR WRN PA HAS RECENTLY ACCELERATED TO AROUND 40 KT
WITH TRAILING PORTION MOVING MORE SLOWLY SEWD AT AROUND 30 KT. 
EXTRAPOLATION OF THESE MOTIONS LIKELY TAKES MCS INTO WWS 630 AND 635
BY 00Z.  PRIOR TO THIS TIME...THE COMBINATION OF MODERATE
INSTABILITY AND MODESTLY STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER WIND
FIELDS WILL SUPPORT A CONTINUED THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND
