    Areas affected...parts of southern Virginia southwestward to
    northeastern Georgia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 121945Z - 122145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple of stronger storms/storm clusters may produce
    marginally severe wind gusts and/or hail near 1" in diameter this
    afternoon. WW issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Latest RAP-based objective analysis shows a
    destabilizing airmass across parts of southern Virginia and the
    Carolinas vicinity, ahead of an advancing surface cold front that
    has reached the Appalachians this afternoon. While weak mid-level
    lapse rates are limiting CAPE to some degree, values as high as 2500
    J/kg are indicated within a zone straddling the North and South
    Carolina borders.=20=20

    In tandem with the destabilizing airmass, scattered thunderstorm
    development is underway, from eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia
    to the Carolinas and into southwestern Virginia. With only weak
    forcing for ascent apparent over the region, and modest lapse rates
    aloft, storms should overall remain generally sub-severe. However,
    with veering/modestly increasing flow with height, shear may prove
    sufficient to support some multicell organization locally --
    accompanied by some attendant/marginal severe potential. Stronger
    storms should remain sufficiently isolated and low-end to preclude
    any need for WW consideration.
