DISCUSSION...Morning soundings depict a rather volatile thermodynamic environment across parts of the Southeast this morning. A remnant EML and seasonably cold midlevel temperatures atop 70s F dewpoints are already supporting MLCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg. Temperatures will warm through the 90s F this afternoon, resulting in very steep low-level lapse rates. Low-level flow will generally remain weak, but modest northeasterly midlevel flow between a weakening upper ridge and an upper low near south FL could support weakly organized storms. However, even relatively disorganized storms in this regime will be capable of producing damaging/potentially severe downbursts and isolated hail, given the very favorable thermodynamic environment. Storm coverage remains somewhat uncertain into mid afternoon. The highest confidence is short-term development is across the higher terrain over western NC and vicinity, where isolated initiation is underway. The need for short-term watch issuance is uncertain, but will become increasingly possible with time, especially across south/east portions of the MCD area. ..Dean/Hart.. 06/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
