   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
   OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS INTO SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND
   NORTHERN FLORIDA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few strong/severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from
   western North Carolina into southeast West Virginia. Strong storms
   may also develop later tonight across portions of northern Florida.

   ...01z Update...

   Early-evening radar data exhibits a well-defined MCV has evolved
   over western NC in the vicinity of Burke County. This feature is
   moving northeast at roughly 30kt. Strongest convection is
   immediately ahead of this feature where deep-layer flow/shear
   remains supportive of organized, sustained updrafts. While buoyancy
   remains weak, will maintain a MRGL Risk for a few wind gusts with
   storms ahead of the MCV, along with an outside chance for a brief,
   weak tornado.

   Farther south, early-day convection that surged across northern FL
   has progressed southeast and is mostly offshore. 00z sounding from
   TLH has sampled this post-convective environment well with very dry
   mid levels and deep westerly flow. However, satellite imagery
   suggests scattered convection is beginning to deepen over the
   northern Gulf Basin and there is some concern that this activity
   could spread/develop into portions of northern FL later tonight.
   Forecast soundings suggest convection should be elevated, thus a low
   probability for hail will be maintained across this region to
   account for this threat.
