As the Mississippi Valley trough continues to shift eastward, so will the severe weather activity. The most active area for today appears to be from South Carolina into Virginia. One group will be focused in the Sterling, Virginia CWA to hopefully take advantage of the DC LMA. The other group will operate in the Shreveport CWA, where a marginal threat for hail is present. In contrast to the activity on the east coast, this development will be from the clear sky, where most of the GOES-R products have their greatest utility. Additionally, this group will be able to utilize the OUN WRF model.

SPC’s hail outlook highlights the threat in the ARKLATEX region.

SPC’s tornado outlook highlights that threat along the east coast.
