WEAK UPPER LEVEL ENERGY...A SFC TROF...HEAT...AND HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO TAP THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION THEREBY PRODUCING SCATTERED CONVECTION. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS MINIMAL. GIVEN THE VERTICAL WIND STRUCTURE AND WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT...BRIEF GUSTY WINDS OR THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW WINDS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IF IT DOES OCCUR. STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS SLOW MOVEMENT COMBINED WITH DEEP ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE MAKES LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS A CONTINUED THREAT WITH ALL STORMS.
