MHX
Sunday through Monday...A strong
shortwave over the southern
Plains will lift toward the Great Lakes, eventually being
absorbed into a developing
cutoff low Sunday into Monday. The
attendant surface low lifts from the Tennessee Valley across the
Midwest, bringing a warm
front across eastern
NC Sunday and
introducing
POPs back into the forecast. However, the best
WAA
does not get going until Sunday night into Monday morning, when
the
gradient tightens locally and a notably strong 50-60
kt LLJ
moves over the area, bringing very strong low level
theta-e
advection. Despite the unfavorable
diurnal timing,
instability
will quickly climb to 1000-1500+
J/kg, and showers with some
embedded thunderstorms are
likely Monday morning. Strong
gradient winds are expected along the coast, with gusty/damaging
winds in the strongest storms possible across the entire area
as ample low level
shear could allow for
convection to become
organized. Some variability regarding timing remains between
long range guidance members, and the severe threat will be
further refined in subsequent forecasts. Heavy
rainfall is also
possible at times, though individual storms should be
progressive enough to preclude a widespread
flash flooding
threat.
