SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1136 AM EDT THU JUN 14 2001

UNSTABLE AIR AND PLENTIFUL MOISTURE SHOULD COMBINE TO PRODUCE VERY
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST
GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AIR CONVERGING FROM A WESTERLY
FLOW ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND A NORTHEAST FLOW AROUND A LOW
PRESSURE AREA ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST... SHOULD AID IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS.

THE HIGHEST POSSIBILITY FOR DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS EXIST OVER
PIEDMONT COUNTIES ALONG THE INTERSTATE 77 CORRIDOR. BUT STORMS
STRONG ENOUGH TO DO DAMAGE COULD OCCUR THROUGH OUT THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA. LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONG STORMS.

THERE IS ALSO A THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN EXCESS OF THREE
INCHES FROM ANY SLOW MOVING STORMS THAT DEVELOP. SINCE THE GROUND IS
STILL MOIST FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY... FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE FROM DOWNPOURS IN AREAS WHERE HEAVY RAIN PERSISTS.

SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ACTIVATE QUICKLY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. DISPATCHERS SHOULD ENSURE COUNTY
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE AWARE OF THIS INFORMATION.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA OUTLET FOR
THE LATEST UPDATES CONCERNING THIS POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER
SITUATION.
