   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms will be possible mainly this
   afternoon/evening along the Outer Banks of North Carolina and far
   southeast Massachusetts.

   ...Outer Banks of NC...
   Within the warm conveyor along a baroclinic zone that will shift
   offshore this evening, showers might sufficiently deepen into a
   couple thunderstorms during the late afternoon to early evening.
   Greater thunderstorm potential will be largely relegated off the
   coast.

   ...Far southeast MA...
   While buoyancy will be scant and likely elevated above a
   near-surface inversion, strengthening large-scale ascent downstream
   of a potent Great Lakes shortwave trough may prove adequate for a
   thunderstorm or two to occur in the Martha's Vineyard vicinity
   before convection shifts entirely offshore.  

   ...Lower MS Valley...
   A modifying air mass will return northward from the western Gulf
   with elevated showers overnight. However, elevated instability is
   expected to remain insufficient for lightning production prior to
   12Z.
