   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR SOUTHWEST
   INTO CENTRAL MT...SOUTHEAST WY INTO EASTERN CO/NORTHEAST
   NM...PORTIONS OF THE APPALACHIANS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC...EASTERN
   SC/NC...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few severe thunderstorms will be possible Monday afternoon and
   evening from portions of the Appalachians to the Mid Atlantic, and
   also across portions of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. A
   couple tornadoes will be possible across eastern portions of the
   Carolinas associated with Isaias, mainly Monday evening into Monday
   night.

   ...Portions of the Appalachians into the Mid Atlantic...
   A belt of moderate midlevel southwesterly flow is forecast to
   persist from portions of the Appalachians into the Mid Atlantic on
   Monday, along the eastern flank of the persistent upper trough. As
   rich low-level moisture streams northward in advance of T.C. Isaias,
   pockets of moderate instability may develop prior to the development
   of increasingly widespread convection by late Monday
   afternoon/evening. Effective shear of 25-40 kt will support the
   potential for some organized convection, with a threat of locally
   damaging wind. 

   ...Coastal SC into eastern NC...
   Based on the current forecast track of Isaias (refer to NHC for more
   information), the favored eastern semicircle will begin to spread
   over coastal regions of SC by late afternoon/evening, and into a
   larger portion of eastern NC by Monday night into early Tuesday
   morning. Since the primary risk is expected during the latter half
   of the period and uncertainty remains regarding the extent of
   sufficient instability inland to support a tornado threat, 2%
   tornado probabilities have been maintained, though an upgrade
   remains possible in subsequent updates depending on the track and
   intensity of Isaias. 

   ...Southwest into central Montana...
   A vigorous shortwave trough is forecast to move into the northern
   Rockies on Monday, which will dampen the upper ridge that has
   persisted over the West. Scattered thunderstorm development is
   expected Monday afternoon from southwest into central MT, in
   conjunction with this shortwave trough. Weak to locally moderate
   buoyancy, steep low/midlevel lapse rates, and effective shear of
   30-40 kt will support a few organized cells and/or clusters which
   could pose a threat of hail and severe wind gusts.

   ...Central/southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains...
   Isolated to widely scattered strong thunderstorms will again be
   possible across portions of the central/southern Rockies and
   adjacent High Plains, within a persistent northwesterly flow regime.
   MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg and effective shear of 30-40 kt will favor a
   couple supercells and potentially a few clusters, with a
   corresponding risk of hail and locally severe wind gusts.
