   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   1110 AM CDT SAT JUN 14 2008
   
   AREAS AFFECTED...NWRN NC...WRN AND CNTRL VA...NRN MD AND SRN PA
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY 
   
   VALID 141610Z - 141745Z
   
   STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP INITIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
   THE SRN AND CNTRL APPALACHIANS AND SUBSEQUENTLY SPREADING EWD
   THROUGH WRN NC...VA...MD AND PA. THE STRONGER STORMS MAY BECOME
   CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED WET MICROBURSTS AND SMALL HAIL. DUE TO
   EXPECTED LIMITED ORGANIZATION AND COVERAGE OF SEVERE EVENTS...A WW
   IS CURRENTLY NOT ANTICIPATED...BUT THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE
   MONITORED.
   
   EARLY THIS AFTERNOON STORMS WERE DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
   ALONG ERN FRINGE OF DEEP MOISTURE PLUME FROM WRN NC...WV AND SW PA.
   DOWNSTREAM...STRONG DIABATIC HEATING OF THE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER IS
   RESULTING IN DESTABILIZATION WITH MLCAPE FROM 2000 TO 2500 J/KG
   EXPECTED AS TEMPERATURES RISE TO NEAR 90. WEAK VERTICAL SHEAR WITH
   MODEST SWLY DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL SUPPORT MULTICELL STORMS THAT MAY
   EVOLVE INTO LINE SEGMENTS OR SMALL CLUSTERS. WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE
   RATES WILL LIMIT OVERALL HAIL POTENTIAL...BUT STEEPENING LAPSE RATES
   IN THE LOWEST 2 KM AND MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT A THREAT
   FOR ISOLATED MICROBURSTS.
