...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FOR PARTS OF UPSTATE NC AND SW
VA...

...SYNOPSIS...
WITH BLOCKY PATTERN CONTINUING AND THE WLYS REMAINING CONFINED TO
CNTRL CANADA...ONLY SLOW EWD PROGRESSION IS EXPECTED WITH THE CLOSED
LOWS NOW OFF THE CA CST AND OVER THE TN VLY. A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE NOW
IN GA WILL PIVOT NE AROUND THE TN VLY LOW...ENHANCING LARGE SCALE
ASCENT OVER THE CAROLINAS/SRN APPALACHIANS. IN THE WEST...A SIMILAR
FEATURE WILL MOVE NE INTO THE WRN GRT BASIN. A LOW AMPLITUDE FEATURE
ALSO WILL ADVANCE E IN SRN STREAM FLOW ACROSS NM/W TX.

MODIFIED POLAR AIR WILL PREVAIL OVER MOST OF THE NATION AT LWR LVLS.
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT...HOWEVER...TO YIELD ADDITIONAL
DIURNAL CONVECTION/STORMS IN THE STEEP LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS
THE WEST. IN ADDITION...A TONGUE OF MARITIME AIR WILL CONTINUE TO
STREAM NWWD INTO NC...AHEAD OF SFC CONFLUENCE AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH
GA UPR IMPULSE.

...NC/SRN VA THIS AFTN/EVE...
CONTINUED ESELY...LOW-LVL UPSLOPE FLOW...COUPLED SFC HEATING AND
MID-LVL COOLING/ASCENT WITH APPROACHING UPR IMPULSE...SHOULD RESULT
IN A BAND OF SCTD TO BROKEN STORMS ALONG NWD-MOVING CONFLUENCE AXIS
IN NC. SFC DEW POINTS IN THE UPR 50S TO TO MID 60S F FROM SW VA SEWD
INTO CSTL NC COULD YIELD SBCAPE OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG.

DEEP WIND PROFILES LIKELY WILL REMAIN SIMILAR TO THOSE NOW PRESENT
OVER REGION...WITH MODEST SPEEDS AND MEAN FLOW/DEEP SHEAR LARGELY
PARALLEL TO THE LOW-LVL CONFLUENCE ZONE. PROFILES
WILL...HOWEVER...EXHIBIT APPRECIABLE LOW-LVL VEERING. TAKEN
TOGETHER...SETUP MAY SUPPORT A FEW SHORT BANDS OF MULTICELL
CLUSTERS...POSSIBLY WITH OCCASIONAL...EMBEDDED...WEAKLY ROTATING
STRUCTURES. THIS ACTIVITY MAY PRODUCE A FEW INSTANCES OF SVR HAIL
AND POSSIBLY A DMGG WIND GUST/BRIEF TORNADO.

FARTHER SW...LOW-LVL ENVIRONMENT APPEARS TOO DRY/COOL TO POSE A RISK
FOR SVR HAIL CLOSER TO UPR LOW CENTER IN TN/WRN NC/WRN SC/GA.
