    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
    ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA...EASTERN NORTH
    CAROLINA...AND SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms capable of producing scattered damaging-wind
    gusts and a few tornadoes are possible Wednesday across parts of the
    eastern Carolinas into southeast Virginia. Other strong to severe
    storms may occur across parts of Florida and east Georgia, and also
    from the Allegheny Plateau into the Mid Atlantic.

    ...Synopsis...
    A strong and deep mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move across
    the eastern CONUS Wednesday, as an intense occluding cyclone (with
    central pressure in the 980-985 mb range) moves northeastward from
    central IL toward the lower Great Lakes region and eventually into
    southwestern Quebec.

    While some moistening will occur within the warm sector of the
    cyclone, guidance continues to indicate that destabilization may
    only become supportive of weak CAPE on the order of 500 J/kg or
    less. However, given the intense wind fields and areas of stronger
    ascent, at least a conditional risk for severe thunderstorms is
    expected across a broad area.

    ...Southern Mid Atlantic into the Carolinas and GA/FL...
    A remnant convective band and potential QLCS will likely be ongoing
    Wednesday morning. Moistening and modest destabilization will
    support some intensification as this band moves eastward through the
    day across the Carolina Piedmont region toward the
    Carolina/southeast VA coastal plain. Intense wind fields will
    support a threat of at least scattered damaging winds with these
    storms as they move eastward through the day. In addition, large and clockwise-curved hodographs (with 0-1 km SRH near/above 300 m2/s2)
    will support some tornado potential. A strong tornado will be
    possible, especially if any embedded supercell structures can be sustained.

    Other strong to potentially severe storms will be possible from
    eastern GA into the FL Peninsula, primarily early in the day before
    convection moves offshore.

    ...Allegheny Plateau into the northern Mid Atlantic...
    Low-level moistening beneath increasingly prominent midlevel cooling
    and drying will support modest destabilization from parts of the
    Allegheny Plateau into the northern Mid Atlantic region. While
    diurnal convection that develops within this regime may remain
    relatively low-topped, effective shear will remain supportive of
    organized storms, including potential for a couple supercells and/or
    organized line segments. Damaging winds, isolated hail, and possibly
    a tornado or two could accompany the strongest storms across this
    region, especially during the afternoon and early evening.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM VIRGINIA SOUTHWESTWARD TO PARTS OF ALABAMA...GEORGIA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong/severe thunderstorms -- with threat for fairly widespread
    damaging winds and tornadoes -- are forecast Monday from portions of
    the Northeast southwestward to the central Gulf Coast region.

    ...Parts of eastern/southern New York southward to the central and
    eastern Gulf Coast area...

    An upper trough will continue advancing steadily eastward across the
    eastern half of the U.S. Monday, reaching the Atlantic Coast states
    overnight. Accompanying this system, a cold front just west of the Appalachians at the start of the period is likewise expected to
    progress eastward with time, crossing the Appalachians during the
    day, and then the East Coast states before moving offshore overnight.

    Ahead of the advancing front, thunderstorms -- likely accompanied by
    ongoing severe risk -- are forecast to be crossing the central Gulf
    Coast region. Ahead of the ongoing convection, and the advancing
    front, moistening/destabilization is forecast to occur east of the
    mountains, with at least meager surface-based CAPE expected to
    evolve as far north as the southeastern New York vicinity. This
    will support development of thunderstorms near/ahead of the front as
    it advances eastward.

    Favorably strong flow aloft will spread across the region ahead of
    the upper system, supporting organized/severe storms. Northern
    portions of the risk area -- where CAPE should remain modest -- will
    likely experience locally damaging wind gusts as the primary severe
    risk. Farther south, greater instability will support stronger
    convection, including linear bands near the front with
    local/embedded rotation, as well as isolated supercells ahead of the
    boundary. As such, risk for damaging wind gusts will be accompanied
    by potential for hail, and tornadoes appear likely as well given
    ample low-level shear and a relatively moist boundary layer.

    Storms/severe risk should persist to the coast, eventually moving
    offshore overnight.

    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
    THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...SOUTHEAST...AND CAROLINAS/VIRGINIA...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Strong/severe thunderstorms -- with a threat for scattered to
    widespread damaging winds and several tornadoes -- are forecast
    Monday from portions of the Northeast southwestward to the central
    Gulf Coast region.

    ...Synopsis...
    The primary synoptic features on Monday will be influenced by
    extensive antecedent and ongoing convection, but in general, one
    significant mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move from the
    lower Great Lakes toward the Canadian Maritimes, while a
    lower-amplitude midlevel shortwave trough will move from the Mid-South/Southeast toward the Carolinas/Mid Atlantic. A deep
    surface low will move across Quebec through the day, as a trailing
    cold front advances southeastward from the Northeast/New England
    into parts of the Southeast.

    ...Southeast into the Carolinas/Virginia...

    While uncertainty remains regarding antecedent convective evolution
    on D1/Sunday, latest guidance generally suggests that an organized
    storm cluster will ongoing Monday morning across parts of LA/MS/AL,
    potentially aided by the trailing shortwave trough moving out of the
    southern Plains. Favorable low-level moisture, moderate downstream
    buoyancy, and 30-50 kt in the 850-700 mb layer will help to maintain
    potential for an organized cluster to move eastward into parts of
    GA/SC through the day, accompanied by a threat for scattered to
    widespread damaging winds. Low-level shear/SRH will be sufficient to
    support some tornado threat as well, both with QLCS circulations and
    also with any embedded supercells. In addition to a tornado threat,
    any sustained supercells would also pose a threat of isolated hail.

    The anticipated storm cluster will tend to outpace the primary cold
    front, with some potential for at least isolated development in the
    wake of early-day convection. Uncertainty remains high regarding the
    severe potential with any second round of convection in this region.

    Farther north into parts of NC/VA, relatively strong heating of a
    moist environment will result in moderate buoyancy by early
    afternoon, though midlevel lapse rates will likely remain weak.
    Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop and spread eastward,
    with potential for a few organized cells/clusters capable of
    damaging wind. There will be some potential for an increase in
    low-level flow/shear and moisture later in the afternoon, which
    could increase the tornado threat, depending on the timing of storm
    initiation and maturation.

    ...Parts of the Mid Atlantic/Northeast...

    While instability will generally weaken with northward extent,
    scattered thunderstorm development is expected along/ahead of the
    front as far north as parts of NY and southern New England.
    Low/midlevel flow will remain somewhat enhanced along the southern
    periphery of the cyclone across Quebec, and some potential for
    damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado may accompany the strongest
    storms through the day and into the early evening, before the front
    moves offshore.
