Not sure about Monday but looks like a fairly active stretch ahead again. Waves of shortwaves through the week. Interesting stretch since June in particular. Not crazy high end overall but about as stormy as I can remember since I've lived here. I'd rate this season well.

The EML advection has been pushed back a bit as have the height falls..Tuesday maybe? Personally I really like the pattern progged early next week. Low bust potential w/ moderate SW flow aloft, lee troughing, progressive height falls, and high CAPE/warm boundary layer.

 Agree that next week has potential with embedded shortwaves in healthy WNW flow.   As noted by SofC, there is a pretty spectacular EML progged by a lot of guidance to advect east early next week.    At F84, the NAM has 8000+ sfc-based cape in IL/MO, and the GFS is over 7000.   The NAM is too moist in the low-levels, but even if you bring that back to reality, the potential for 6000+ appears to be very real if the lapse rates are being modeled properly.   (Off topic:  it almost reminds me of a Plainfield, IL type setup out there Monday).    Anyhow, if that EML doesn't get sufficiently overturned in the midwest and is advected towards the mid-Atlantic, watch out.

This season is good at producing rain but lowsy at producing healthy T&L storms at least in my neck.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1393
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0307 PM CDT MON JUL 13 2015

AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST WV...WESTERN VA...NORTHEAST TN...WESTERN
NC

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 132007Z - 132130Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A STRONG/DAMAGING WIND THREAT WILL BE POSSIBLE DOWNSTREAM
OF WATCH 410 INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND
POSSIBLY AS FAR EAST AS THE VA/NC PIEDMONT LATER THIS EVENING.

DISCUSSION...THE BOW ECHO OVER KY AND WV WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
EAST/SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. VARIOUS HI-RES CAMS INDICATE THAT THIS MCS WILL BE
MAINTAINED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS INTO THE PIEDMONT REGION. THIS SEEMS
REASONABLE GIVEN UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREE SURFACE DEWPOINTS
DOWNSTREAM OF THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE LINE COUPLED WITH POCKETS OF
MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY. WHILE EFFECTIVE SHEAR FURTHER EAST
IS FAIRLY WEAK AT THIS TIME...A GRADUAL INCREASE TO NEAR 35 KT IS
EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION. THIS SHOULD AID IN MAINTAINING
THE ONGOING BOW ECHO AT LEAST INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF WV/VA AND
POSSIBLY TN/NC.

SHOULD CONVECTION REMAIN ORGANIZED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...THE
THREAT MAY THEN SHIFT EAST OVER PARTS OF THE VA/NC PIEDMONT LATER
THIS EVENING. SOME LIMITING FACTORS FURTHER EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT
WILL BE THE LINE MOVING INTO THE REGION AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS
STABILIZING DUE TO LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...ANY
CONVECTION THAT CAN REMAIN SURFACE BASED AFTER DARK WILL POSE A
DAMAGING WIND THREAT.
