Gradually, a couple of intensifying storms may pose a risk for marginally severe hail and localized potentially damaging wind gusts through 2-4 PM EDT. DISCUSSION...Low-level forcing for ascent remains a bit unclear, but scattered thunderstorm initiation appears underway within a broadly confluent pre-frontal low-level regime. Insolation within a seasonably moist boundary layer, coupled with subtle mid-level height falls on the southern fringe of the westerlies, are contributing to weakening of inhibition, as CAPE increases in excess of 1500 J/kg in the presence of modestly steep lapse rates.=20=20 Deep-layer westerly flow and shear through lower/mid-levels appears modest, but 50+ kt flow near and above 300 mb may enhance stronger storms as they deepen in excess of 45-50 thousand feet AGL with additional destabilization. Gradually, a couple of these cells may become capable of producing small to marginally severe hail, and a few strong downbursts with potentially damaging surface gusts through 18-20Z. ...Kerr/Guyer.. 05/21/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-wPKIEHG3mQ7egxygTbpwulAauidJNS8QpZ6JDlnmM1GC-8XcDY0fuFCfpp686kC-YvpYa4_X= 1LZTktjnAO5YxZlvaU$ for graphic product...
