...SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER TROUGH SWEEPING ACROSS THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION WILL
CONTINUE LIFTING NNEWD TOWARD ERN CANADA THIS PERIOD...WITH THE MAIN
SURFACE LOW DOING LIKEWISE. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT INITIALLY

...CENTRAL AND ERN GULF COAST REGION TO THE SRN APPALACHIANS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING ACROSS THIS REGION
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...BUT SHOULD WEAKEN WITH TIME AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM LIFTS NEWD/AWAY FROM THE AREA AND THE COLD FRONT
WEAKENS. STILL...WITH A RELATIVELY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER IN PLACE
AND SUFFICIENT DEEP-LAYER SHEAR...A FEW STRONGER STORMS IN THE FIRST
FEW HOURS OF THE PERIOD MAY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A DAMAGING GUST
OR ISOLATED TORNADO.

...COASTAL NC...
AS THE WEAKENING COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE COASTAL CAROLINAS
LATE...INTERACTION WITH THE SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER
ADVECTING NWD ACROSS FAR ERN NC AND THE OUTER BANKS OFF THE GULF
STREAM MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION -- AND POSSIBLY A
VERY LOW-END SEVERE THREAT. ATTM -- THREAT APPEARS QUITE LIMITED --
AND THUS A NARROW/COASTAL 5% AREA APPEARS SUFFICIENT.
