This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

A few storms this afternoon into this evening may become strong to
severe, especially across the southern and central portions of the
area. Damaging winds and hail will be the main threats, although
there is a very low threat of a brief tornado mainly south of
Interstate 40.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected again Tuesday,
mainly during the afternoon into the overnight period. Some of
these storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and
hail as the main threats.

Another round of even more organized storms is increasingly
likely Wednesday evening through Wednesday night. With this round
of storms, damaging winds and hail will be possible again, in
addition to a low-end tornado risk. Also, localized flooding will
remain possible through the week due to several rounds of storms
that could produce heavy downpours.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not needed at this time, but reports may be
needed this afternoon into this evening, Tuesday afternoon and
night, as well as Wednesday evening and night.
