Isolated wind damage may occur with the stronger storms across portions of the southern Appalachians into the Southeast on Tuesday. ...Synopsis... The upper-air pattern is poised to amplify some on Tuesday, with upper ridging building back into the Plains states as positively tilted upper troughs become established over the OH/TN Valleys and the Southwest. A surface cold front will continue to usher southward from TX to the Gulf coastal region through the day on Tuesday, encouraging thunderstorm development. 1500+ J/kg of tall/thin MLCAPE, driven by mid 60s F surface dewpoints, will be present from the southern Appalachians to the Southeast. As such, the stronger storms in this area will be capable of producing a few wet downbursts, with isolated tree/wire damage possible. ..Squitieri.. 09/20/2026 $$
