Valid 270218Z - 270345Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 325 continues. SUMMARY...Some damaging-wind threat may persist into late this evening. DISCUSSION...A long-lived QLCS with a history of producing some wind damage continues to move northeastward late this evening. Downstream instability continues to diminish with the loss of diurnal heating, but given the rather well-organized nature of the QLCS, some damaging-wind threat may persist downstream, as it moves through a relatively moist environment where rather strong heating occurred earlier today. Weakening deep-layer flow/shear with eastward extent and increasing MLCINH should eventually result in a definitive weakening trend later tonight. Additional downstream watch issuance is not anticipated, but local extension may need to be considered depending on convective trends over the next 1-2 hours. ..Dean/Smith.. 05/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
