STALLED SURFACE FRONT NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE VIRGINIA/NORTH
CAROLINA BORDER HAS BECOME A FOCUS FOR RECENT NEW CONVECTIVE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON...AIDED BY A FAVORABLY
DIVERGENT UPPER FLOW FIELD AND BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION. WEAK
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE LIMITED INSTABILITY TO MODERATE
LEVELS...BUT 25-30 KT WESTERLY 500 MB FLOW ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF
THE WESTERLIES IS CONTRIBUTE TO MODEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR SUPPORTIVE
OF AT LEAST MID-LEVEL UPDRAFT ROTATION. EVEN WITHIN WEAK
NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE FLOW TO THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT...
LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS ARE RATHER SMALL...BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
LOW-LEVEL BAROCLINICITY ALONG THE FRONT COULD SUPPORT BRIEF
TORNADOES IN STRONGER CELLS.
