DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic and 10-km CAPPI reflectivity shows several clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms from parts of central VA south-southwest into the Upstate of SC. The airmass ahead of these storms is very unstable (2500-3500 J/kg MLCAPE). The hot surface temperatures (near 100 deg f) late this afternoon coupled with dewpoints in the lower 70s are combining to foster an environment featuring steep low-level lapse rates and high PW. The mean west-northwesterly flow around the mid-level high over the TN Valley will favor southeast storm motions. Water-loaded downdrafts capable of isolated to widely scattered gusts (45-65 mph) will be common with the more intense cores. Pockets of wind damage will likely result with gusts approaching severe limits. ..Smith/Hart.. 07/06/2022 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
