...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE EASTERN CAROLINAS INTO SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
EASTERN STATES...

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN
CA/NORTHWEST NV AND WESTERN OR...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible today into this evening
across portions of the Mid-Atlantic States and Southeast, parts of
southern New England, and also across portions of the northern
Sierra Nevada into western Oregon.

...Eastern States...
A prevalent longwave trough over the eastern half of the CONUS will
continue to shift eastward today with height falls continuing along
much of the eastern seaboard coincident with some additional
strengthening of deep-layer southwesterly winds. Diurnal
destabilization and ascent atop an east/southeastward-moving front,
which largely parallels the I-95 corridor, will contribute to
increasing thunderstorms into this afternoon, some of which will be
strong to locally severe.

Initially, a strong storm or two could graze outer portions of Long
Island this morning and otherwise develop into southern New England
relatively early today. Meanwhile, a somewhat more focused severe
risk is expected to materialize farther south this afternoon across
Piedmont and coastal portions of the Carolinas into southeast VA
near the eastward-advancing front. Modest cloud breaks noted in
early morning satellite imagery may allow for somewhat stronger
insolation/heating in these areas with thunderstorms gradually
increasing in coverage and intensity this afternoon. Aforementioned
increasingly strong deep-layer southwesterly winds will support the
evolution of prevalent clusters and evolving line segments with wind
damage as the most probable severe hazard. Although a few transient
supercells could occur before linear transitions, relatively weak
mid-level lapse rates, with cooler air aloft tending to lag the
front to the west, should limit large hail potential.

...Northern Sierra Nevada/Western Oregon...
An upper low off the northern CA coast this morning will continue to
gradually spread eastward toward the coast through the afternoon and
evening with height falls and strengthening winds aloft
overspreading the northern Sierra Nevada vicinity and western OR. In
conjunction with a warming and destabilizing boundary layer, 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.
