ASSOCIATED WITH A WELL-DEFINED VORTICITY MAXIMUM LIFTING NEWD ACROSS

DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS DISCUSSION AREA WITH

THE MOST INTENSE STORMS. MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE...THOUGH WBZH OF 11.5-12.5 KFT WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE
MELTING OF ANY HAIL STONES.
