Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/MID-ATLANTIC REGION SUMMARY Thunderstorms with isolated damaging wind gusts are possible this afternoon across the eastern Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic region. Carolinas/Delmarva/Mid-Atlantic States Multiple subtle mid-level perturbations over the Midwest, within the base of the broad upper trough centered over Canada/Great Lakes, will progress east-northeastward with steady height falls and strengthening flow aloft particularly for the Mid-Atlantic region and Delmarva. Prevalent showers/some thunderstorms early today will accompany an east/southeastward-moving cold front, but cloud breaks should allow for pre-frontal heating particularly across the coastal plain over the Carolinas and far southeast Virginia. A few hundred J/kg MLCAPE may develop along the Mid-Atlantic shoreline, with up to 1000 J/kg MLCAPE possible over the eastern Carolinas. As the surface cold front approaches by early afternoon, a line of storms should develop and intensify along the cold front. Modestly curved low-level hodographs should support linearly organizing clusters/bands of storms, with a few damaging wind gusts possible during the afternoon. Upper Midwest While low-level moisture will be rather limited, thermodynamic profiles may be sufficiently supportive of a few lightning flashes late this afternoon and early evening across parts of southern Minnesota/northern Iowa into western Wisconsin in vicinity of a southeastward-spreading front. Gusty winds may also occur with this convection in the presence of a well-mixed boundary layer and strengthening northwesterly winds aloft.
