A few strong to isolated severe storms are possible across portions of the Southeast on Tuesday. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will amplify across the eastern CONUS on Tuesday with ridging across the West. A cold front will sharpen near the Mississippi River and cross the Appalachians by the end of the period. ...Southeast... Mid 60s dewpoints will stream northward ahead of a cold front across the Southeast on Tuesday. This will result in moderate destabilization within a zone of moderate to strong deep-layer shear. Minimal inhibition is expected along the front by mid-afternoon which should support isolated to scattered storm development. A strong low-level jet, initially across MS/TN/AL during the morning, will move quickly east and is forecast over the Mid-Atlantic by 00Z. If this occurs, low-level shear will not be that strong along the frontal zone Tuesday afternoon/evening. Therefore, isolated large hail will likely be the primary severe weather threat. Storm intensity is expected to lessen by late evening due to the cooling boundary layer ahead of the cold front. ...South Texas... The southwestern edge of the surface cold front will stall across South Texas Tuesday afternoon/evening. The environment south of this front will feature moderate instability and shear. Upper forcing may be somewhat nebulous, but convergence along the front may be sufficient for isolated to widely scattered storms late Tuesday afternoon into the evening. If storms develop, large hail will likely be the primary threat. ..Bentley.. 11/23/2025 $$
