   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe risk -- in the form of locally strong/damaging wind
   gusts, and possibly marginal hail -- is expected to continue over
   the next 1 to 2 hours (through the scheduled expiration of WW 207).

   DISCUSSION...Latest ILM radar loop shows several strong/locally
   severe multicell storm clusters, moving eastward across WW 207.  The
   convection is currently moving through the axis of greatest
   instability (around 2500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE per RAP-based
   objective analysis).  This, along with roughly 30 kt background
   0-6km shear, should help to sustain the convection over the next
   couple of hours.  Locally strong wind gusts -- capable of producing
   minor damage -- appear to be the primary risk with this convection.
