    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
    SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...AND
    EASTERN GEORGIA....

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST
    COLORADO INTO PARTS OF IOWA AND MINNESOTA....

    CORRECTED FOR NDFD GRID ERROR IN SC

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe wind gusts are possible from parts of the Carolinas into the
    Southeast, with widely scattered strong to severe storms possible
    from the northern High Plains eastward to the Mid Atlantic.

    ...Southeast US...
    An unusually favorable thermodynamic pattern has evolved across the
    southeast US today, with very steep mid-level lapse rates, cool
    temperatures aloft, and strong daytime heating. Surface dewpoints
    in the 70s will yield afternoon MLCAPE values over 3500 J/kg.

    Large scale forcing is weak, suggesting convective initiation will
    be poorly focused. However, most 12z CAM solutions show several
    clusters of storms through the afternoon spreading southward from NC
    into SC and eastern GA. Vertical shear is rather weak, suggesting
    storms will be rather disorganized. However, there is a conditional
    risk for an active day across the ENH risk, with considerable
    coverage of damaging wind reports possible. As storms spread
    southwestward this evening across GA, the risk of locally damaging
    wind gusts will continue.

    ...NE/IA/MN...
    Visible satellite imagery shows a developing differential heating
    zone extending from south-central NE into central IA. Full sun to
    the south of this zone will lead to strong instability and scattered
    afternoon thunderstorm development. A band of 30-40 knot
    southwesterly flow aloft atop this zone, coupled with strengthening
    southerly low-level winds, will encourage organized/bowing clusters
    of storms capable of damaging winds and some hail. A tornado or two
    cannot be ruled out.

    ...CO/KS...
    Thunderstorms will once again develop off the higher terrain of
    CO/WY this afternoon and spread into the Plains. Model guidance
    suggests steep low-level lapse rates and sufficient CAPE for severe
    wind potential as these storms track toward northwest KS/southwest
    NE by early evening.

    ...OH/WV...
    Hot and humid conditions are present today across much of southern
    OH into northern WV. Visible satellite imagery shows a developing
    CU field, which may result in scattered slow-moving afternoon
    thunderstorms. Winds aloft are rather weak, but the strongest cells
    in this corridor may be capable of locally damaging wind gusts.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDDLE
    ATLANTIC...

    CORRECTED FOR REGIONAL HEADER

    ...SUMMARY...
    Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across the Mid Atlantic.
    More isolated activity is expected across portions of the Plains
    into the Mid Mississippi Valley.

    ...Middle Atlantic...

    Early-morning water-vapor imagery depicts a notable short-wave
    trough over the upper MS Valley, shifting east in line with latest
    model guidance. This feature is forecast to advance into the central
    Great Lakes region by the end of the period. As the short wave
    advances east, a corridor of higher PW (currently extending from AR
    into the upper OH Valley) will be shunted downstream as a
    low-amplitude disturbance ejects toward the Mid Atlantic. While some suppression of the height field can be expected late, it appears the
    weak disturbance should be the primary mechanism for encouraging
    somewhat stronger southwesterly flow which would extend as far south
    as central VA. Even so, 0-6km bulk shear is only expected to be on
    the order of 20-25kt, but favorably oriented for clusters and short
    line segments. Forecast soundings exhibit poor lapse rates, but
    high-water content suggests damaging downbursts are likely,
    especially with any organized clusters. Convective temperatures will
    be breached by 17-18z as readings climb into the mid 80s, and
    scattered thunderstorms should readily develop from central PA into
    central VA. This activity will then propagate toward the Mid
    Atlantic Coast with an attendant risk for damaging winds.

    ...Plains...

    Upper ridge is forecast to hold across the southwestern U.S. through
    the day1 period; although, northwesterly flow is expected to
    increase a bit along the eastern periphery of this feature over the
    High Plains. As a result, high-level diffluent flow will be noted
    across the southern Plains into southern MO. At the surface,
    low-level boundaries/convergence will prove weak, and left-over
    convective debris will likely prove influential in late-afternoon
    development. Early this morning, an MCS was propagating south across
    eastern NE/southwest IA. This complex will likely advance into
    southeast KS/southwest MO by sunrise. It's not entirely clear how
    organized this cluster will be at the start of the period, but
    convective outflow will likely contribute to additional development
    later in the day. Strong boundary-layer heating will also aid
    isolated thunderstorm development across the High Plains of eastern
    WY/CO/NM. This activity will spread southeast during the evening
    with a risk for hail/wind.
