WW issuance may be needed, to cover potential for isolated damaging wind gusts. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows isolated convective development occurring across eastern portions of Kentucky and Tennessee, with a couple of stronger updrafts noted. The convection is evolving within a moderately unstable environment (mixed-layer CAPE around 2500 J/kg), but within a region of relatively weak flow aloft.=20 Still, a few stronger storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, given the favorably moist/unstable environment. With time, isolated development is forecast to occur east of the Appalachian crest as well, into parts of Virginia and northern/western North Carolina, as the cold front progresses slowly southeastward. While CAPE should remain just a bit weaker east of the mountains, slightly stronger flow aloft should offset this. As such, WW issuance may be required to encompass much of the discussion area. ...Goss/Thompson.. 07/29/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5HXnM1x7A4znIDWOVTpuVpe6_3UDxJ1nBexQ0KFxkiNFHwCYdwFnNmOBFJEncNou1IYnY3btU= i_0lhLoG_cTI_-u1AE$ for graphic product...
