this region as convergence invof stationary front acts on moderately
unstable and weakly capped air mass. 40 kt of wly mid level winds
currently spreading enewd out of the srn Appalachians will provide
ample shear for organized storms... including supercells and small
lines. This will increase the threat of large hail and damaging
winds as storm shift ewd through the early evening.
