VALID 271200Z - 281200Z
..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
..SUMMARY
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY INTO
THE CAROLINAS FRIDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON, BUT SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL APPEARS LIMITED.
..SYNOPSIS
A MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PIVOT ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. ON
FRIDAY. AT THE SURFACE, A COLD FRONT ORIENTED FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN PLAINS EARLY
FRIDAY WILL DEVELOP SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PERIOD, MOVING OFFSHORE BY
SATURDAY MORNING. BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE WILL REMAIN MODEST AHEAD
OF THE FRONT FROM THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC AND
CAROLINAS. HOWEVER, STRONG HEATING AND STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES
WILL SUPPORT WEAK DESTABILIZATION. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE NEAR AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT WITHIN A WARM ADVECTION
REGIME ATOP THE BOUNDARY. LIMITED INSTABILITY AND MODEST VERTICAL
SHEAR WILL PRECLUDE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
