LATEST RADAR SHOWS SCATTERED CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH WITH ADDED SUPPORT FROM THE UPPER SHORTWAVE AND DAYTIME HEATING. WARM 500MB TEMPS (-5C) AND A MOIST ADIABATIC 12Z SOUNDING SUGGEST STORMS SHOULD REMAIN UNDER SEVERE LIMITS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER... EXPECT SOME STRONG STORMS...PRODUCING 45 MPH WINDS...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND POSSIBLY SOME SMALL PEA SIZE HAIL.
