...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC TO SOUTHERN GA...

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
Mid-Atlantic States and Southeast, portions of southern New England,
and also across portions of the northern Sierra Nevada.

...Eastern US...

Mid-level flow is expected to increase on the front side of eastern
US trough during the day1 period with 500mb speeds increasing from
70kt to near 90kt by the end of the period along the Mid-Atlantic
coast. This evolution will force a synoptic front east of the
Appalachians to a position from central MA, southwest across coastal
Carolinas into southern GA by 18z. Latest model guidance suggests
limited surface heating will be noted ahead of the front but
stronger across the Southeast where buoyancy is expected to be
somewhat greater than across higher latitudes. Deep southwesterly
flow should increase near the frontal zone such that any storms that
develop across the warm sector should be sufficiently sheared for
potential storm organization. Even so, instability is expected to
remain seasonally weak and severe coverage should be isolated in
nature. If breaks in cloud cover allow boundary layer to heat more
than expected, subsequent increase in instability could warrant
higher probs.

...Northern Sierra Nevada...

Late evening water vapor imagery depicts a well-defined short-wave
trough off the northern CA coast which is forecast to approach
near-shore regions by 07/00z. Southeasterly mid-level flow and
large-scale forcing for ascent should increase across the northern
Sierra Nevada ahead of this feature and a convectively active day is
expected in response. Forecast soundings for this region suggest
ample instability and steep lapse rates necessary for the production
of hail and gusty winds.
