    Valid 042316Z - 050015Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 117 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for severe hail and damaging gusts continues across
    severe thunderstorm Watch 117, though the threat is expected to
    diurnally wane.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered storms are ongoing north of the synoptic
    stationary boundary. Boundary-layer flow has remained relatively
    weak with neutral height tendencies leading to weak forcing. Despite
    this, relatively steep lapse rates and deep convective profiles
    continue to be supportive of a hail threat. Additionally, some drier
    surface air, particularly with eastern extent, may provide some
    negative buoyancy for some weak downbursts that may produce damaging
    gusts. However, recent convective trends have been to weaken the
    storms with the loss of diurnal heating, and storms should continue
    to wane in both coverage and intensity.
