EWP STATUS FOR 9 MAY 2012:  12-8pm SHIFT

We will be conducting a 12-8pm shift for Wed 9 May 2012. There are two areas of interest, and both will probably see their chances of severe convection die off at sunset, hence the early shift.

Area #1 would be coastal South Carolina and Georgia, as a cold front may fire off some marginally severe convection.  Area #2 is back to southern Texas, where the subtropical jet continues to provide strong shear.  However, boundaries may set up too far south (in Mexico) from current convection and limit the instability.

Because both areas are marginal, we may also spend time on another WES archive case.
