423 AM EDT WED JUN 11 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

A MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS. WHILE WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED...A FEW STRONG OR BRIEFLY SEVERE STORMS MAY
OCCUR...PRODUCING ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND OR HAIL TO THE
SIZE OF NICKELS.

ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY WIND GUSTS UP TO
40 MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
SINCE THE WINDS ALOFT ARE FAIRLY LIGHT...THE STORMS WILL NOT MOVE
VERY FAST. THIS MAY LEAD TO BRIEF FLOODING OF STREETS AND POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS WHERE THE STRONGER STORMS OCCUR.

FINALLY...HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO REACH
THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 90S...A FEW DEGREES COOLER COMPARED TO THE
PAST FEW DAYS. THESE HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH THE HUMIDITY
WILL YIELD HEAT INDEX VALUES CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PIEDMONT...SANDHILLS AND THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN.

DUE TO THE PROLONG HEAT WAVE WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING...YOUR
BODYS ABILITY TO COMBAT THE AFFECTS OF THE INTENSE HEAT MAY HAVE
BEEN WEAKENED. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRACTICE METHODS TO PREVENT
YOUR BODY FROM OVERHEATING SUCH AS STAY OUT OF THE SUNSHINE AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE...DRINKING PLENTY OF FLUIDS...AND SPEND AS MUCH
TIME AS POSSIBLE IN AN AIR CONDITIONED BUILDING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT ANY SEVERE OR
