...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE EASTERN CAROLINAS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST....
..SUMMARY
THUNDERSTORMS WITH ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON FROM THE EASTERN CAROLINAS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC
COAST.
..EASTERN CAROLINAS/MID-ATLANTIC COAST
AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES ON
SUNDAY, AS A COLD FRONT ADVANCES SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC
AND CAROLINAS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT, SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO
MID 60S WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WEAK INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON. ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT FROM SOUTHERN MARYLAND SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALONG THIS CORRIDOR HAVE 35 TO 40
KNOTS OF FLOW IN THE 500 TO 1000 METER LAYER ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.
CELLS THAT DEVELOP IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON IN AREAS THAT
DESTABILIZE THE MOST COULD MIX THESE STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE,
RESULTING IN AN ISOLATED WIND-DAMAGE THREAT.
