DISCUSSION...Mostly clear skies have allowed temperatures across the Piedmont to reach the mid 70s this afternoon. These temperatures, combined with dewpoints in low 60s, are supporting modest buoyancy ahead of the cold front approaching the region. Recent mesoanalysis estimates MLCAPE around 500 J/kg. Given the presence of warm temperatures aloft and negligible large-scale forcing for ascent, buoyancy will likely remain limited. In contrast in modest instability, vertical shear is strong. Instability will likely remain the limiting factor, with warm temperatures aloft mitigating updraft strength and duration. That being said, should an updraft mature, the strength of the vertical shear suggests some hail would be possible. ...Mosier/Guyer.. 03/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4U6mcQkb0n-gp47ndNKSvAHTJQH_R2plZyptm9hZOV1CrOcSzt4GrfOZElqMTlCKDP0C3QtjS= vAC1sWUsBzPoIUYDTg$ for graphic product...
