   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION
   OF THE GULF COAST STATES INTO THE EASTERN CAROLINAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible Sunday into
   Sunday night across southern portions of the Gulf Coast states into
   the eastern Carolinas. Damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes are
   the main threats.

   ...Gulf Coast States into the eastern Carolinas...

   Closed upper low situated over the southern High Plains as of Mid
   day Saturday will advance east and is forecast to becoming an open
   wave before deamplifying as it ejects east northeast through the
   Southeastern States Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. At the start
   of this period, a warm front will extend from a weak surface low off
   the southwest LA coast eastward through the northern Gulf. In
   response to deep forcing for ascent accompanying the approaching
   shortwave trough, the surface low will undergo modest deepening as
   it develops northeastward, reaching the southern Appalachians Sunday
   night. The attendant warm front will advance inland through southern
   portions of the Gulf coast states and the eastern Carolinas, while a
   cold front extending southward from the surface low advances
   eastward.

   How far inland the unstable portion of the warm sector will evolve
   remains the primary uncertainty this forecast. Despite the inland
   advance of the warm front, widespread showers and thunderstorms are
   expected across the northwest Gulf early Sunday within zone of
   isentropic ascent north of this boundary. Activity will eventually
   spread eastward through the Gulf Coast region in association with
   the eastward migrating southerly low-level jet. Thus the effective
   boundary separating the more unstable warm sector from the
   rain-cooled air might remain offshore or close to the coastal areas.
   Favorable vertical wind profiles for organized storms including a
   few supercells and bowing segments will overspread this region in
   association with the progressive shortwave trough, and potential
   will exist for a few severe storms to develop along pre-frontal warm
   conveyor belt as well as along the cold front. Too much uncertainty
   persists regarding degree of inland destabilization to upgrade the
   previous outlook at this time. However, an upgrade to SLGT risk
   might be warranted for a portion of this region in day 1 updates.
