PREV DISCUSSION...STALLED FRONT OVER SE NC WILL LIFT NORTH THRU
THE FCST AREA TODAY AND BE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION AS A WEAK SHORT
WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. PRECIP IS WIDELY SCATTERED AT
SUNRISE BUT EXPECT SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BECOME MORE PREVALENT ESP
THIS AFTN AS SFC HEATING AIDS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MOIST
BNDRY LAYER. WILL CAP POPS IN THE 40-50% RANGE GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTY IN AREAL COVERAGE BUT IT IS HOPED THAT MUCH OF THE
AREA WILL SEE AT LEAST SOME AMOUNT OF MUCH NEEDED RAIN. DEEPER
CONVECTION WILL HAVE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS GIVEN THE HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATER OVER THE REGION WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING A THREAT THIS AFTN.
OVERALL QPF AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE AROUND .50 INCHES BUT HIGHER
AMOUNTS LIKELY IN THE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. WIND GUSTS ASSOCD WITH
WET MICROBURSTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BLO SEVERE LEVELS IN WEAKLY
SHEARED/MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

ENOUGH INSOLATION TO ALLOW TEMPS TO CLIMB TO THE L/M90S WITH HEAT
INDICIES EXCEEDING 100F JUST ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS AND COULD PEAK
AROUND 105-110F ACROSS THE INNER BANKS WHERE DEWPOINTS WILL BE
HIGHER NECESSITATING A HEAT ADVISORY.

SOME MID LEVEL DRYING EXPECTED MON AND WITH A LACK OF FORCING WILL
LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE. A FRONT APPROACHES MON NIGHT BUT
CONTINUED LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND LIMITED MID LEVEL
MOISTURE...MODELS BRING LITTLE QPF ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL
LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE. MON LOOKS TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF
THE WEEK WITH MODELS INDICATING LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES BACK UP TO
