   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
   OF THE CAROLINAS AND SOUTHEAST VA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the
   Carolinas and southeast Virginia on Tuesday.

   ...Synopsis and Discussion...
   Deep upper troughing is expected to persist across much of the
   central and eastern CONUS on Tuesday. An embedded shortwave trough
   is forecast to mature into an upper low as it moves from the mid MS
   Valley southeastward across the Mid-South and then eastward across
   the Southeast. Progression of this upper low will aid in the
   development of a modest surface low along a front initially
   extending from the Mid-Atlantic southwestward through the central FL
   Panhandle. This surface low will likely track northeastward along
   the front throughout the day, as the front gradually moves eastward.

   Southeasterly surface winds ahead of the cold front and surface low
   will help advect upper 60s/low 70s dewpoints as it moves into the
   Mid-Atlantic region. Despite this favorable low-level moisture,
   relatively moist profiles and resulting poor lapse rates will temper
   buoyancy. However, forcing for ascent along the front will be
   augmented by strong vorticity advection ahead of the upper low,
   resulting in the potential for slightly deeper, more persistent
   updrafts along the front. These deeper updrafts are most likely
   across the Carolinas and adjacent VA Tidewater during the evening
   and overnight as vertical shear vectors become oriented more
   perpendicular to the front and the upper low becomes closer to the
   frontal zone. This overall scenario will contribute to the potential
   for a few strong wind gusts and perhaps even a tornado.
