Isolated damaging gusts are possible over parts of the Southeast tomorrow (Tuesday). ...Synopsis... A low-amplitude mid-level trough will traverse the OH Valley as upper ridging builds back over the Plains states, and another upper trough meanders over the Southwest tomorrow (Tuesday). A surface cold front will continue to drift southward across the southern Appalachians into TX as high pressure ushers in a cooler and stable airmass from the north. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the cold front tomorrow afternoon. Severe potential should remain sparse overall given poor vertical wind shear along the cold front. However, a couple of damaging gusts may accompany wet downbursts with the stronger storm cores over parts of the Southeast, where upper 60s to low 70s F surface dewpoints will contribute to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE. ..Squitieri.. 09/21/2026 $$
