Severe storms capable of large hail and wind damage will be possible across parts of the Carolinas on Friday. A marginal severe threat will be possible across much of the Gulf Coast states, and in southern sections of the Mid-Atlantic. ....Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic... A mid-level trough is forecast to move through the eastern U.S. on Friday, as an associated cold front advances eastward through the southern Appalachians. As surface temperatures warm ahead of the front, dewpoints in the 60s F should contribute to the development of moderate instability over much of the pre-frontal airmass. Surface-based convective initiation is expected around midday in the higher terrain of the Appalachians. This convection will move eastward into the lower elevations, where thunderstorms will be likely. By early to mid afternoon, NAM forecast soundings suggest that MLCAPE could peak in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range across parts of the Carolinas. Near the instability axis, 0-6 km shear is forecast to be in the 40 to 50 knot range, suggesting that supercells will be possible. Supercells that develop should be capable of wind damage and isolated large hail. Organized line segments with damaging gusts will also be possible. Any severe threat should end from west to east during the mid to late afternoon, as the front moves toward the coast. ....Gulf Coast States... Mid-level cyclonic northwesterly flow will be in place across much of the Gulf Coast region on Friday. As surface temperatures warm ahead of a cold front, moderate destabilization will be possible from parts of south-central Texas eastward to the central Gulf Coast and northern Florida. Although large-scale ascent is forecast to be relatively weak, isolated thunderstorms may develop along and ahead of a cold front. In spite of relatively weak deep-layer shear, low-level lapse rates will become steep in some areas. For this reason, a marginal severe threat will be possible in areas that destabilize the most. Any severe potential should decrease during the evening, as the cold front moves into the northern Gulf. ...Broyles.. 05/28/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
