Continued to trim away at parts of the previous outlook areas given the progressive nature of Idalia...with heaviest rainfall bands confined over eastern/southeast North Carolina due to the shear across the system.

While modest...the forecast values of instability is more than sufficient to produce late day showers and thunderstorms from the southern border up through the Mogollon Rim into UT. Locally heavy rainfall within any convective development can pose a threat for flash flooding, especially near any terrain or urbanized corridors.=20 Bann Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
