   Valid 151200Z - 161200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN
   FLORIDA INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated severe thunderstorms with a threat for mainly damaging wind
   and a few tornadoes may impact a portion of the Southeast Monday
   through Monday night.

   ...Synopsis...

   A shortwave trough now approaching the southern High Plains will
   reach the lower MS Valley Monday morning, before continuing through
   a portion of the Southeast and southern Appalachians later Monday
   afternoon into the overnight. In response to forcing accompanying
   this feature, a weak surface low is forecast to develop along the
   stationary front over the northern Gulf. This low will move from
   just off the central Gulf coast by noon Monday, northeastward
   through south/central GA during the evening and into the central
   Carolinas Monday night. Trailing cold front will move through
   southern GA and northern FL during the evening, reaching the
   central/eastern Carolinas overnight. A warm front extending east of
   the low will move northward through southern GA and into the eastern
   Carolinas.

   ...Northern Florida through southern Georgia...

   Rich low-level moisture will advect northward during the day along a
   strengthening southerly low-level jet with dewpoints from the upper
   60s F in northern FL to mid 60s F in southern GA. This along with
   diabatic heating should contribute to moderate instability with
   MLCAPE from 1000-1500 J/kg likely. Thunderstorms will be ongoing
   within zone of primary forcing along the cold front across the
   northern Gulf. This activity will spread northeast through the FL
   Panhandle during the afternoon, reaching southern GA by late
   afternoon and early evening. Potential will also exist for a few
   discrete storms to develop along the pre-frontal warm conveyor belt.
   Strengthening vertical wind profiles with 40-50 kt effective bulk
   shear will be supportive of organized structures including bowing
   segments and supercells with damaging wind and a few tornadoes
   possible.

   ...Eastern Carolinas...

   A warm sector will spread inland through the eastern Carolinas,
   overnight with low-mid 60s F dewpoints possible. Instability in this
   region will remain marginal. Nevertheless, storms may develop within
   zone of ascent along the warm conveyor belt where vertical wind
   profiles will support a conditional risk for supercells and isolated
   tornadoes. However, uncertainty still exists regarding whether or
   not the boundary layer will destabilize sufficiently to support
   surface-based storms, with most activity possibly remaining slightly
   elevated. Will maintain MRGL risk category for now and monitor for
   possible SLGT risk upgrade in upcoming day 1 outlooks.
