A level 2 was issued for parts of the Ukraine mainly for large to very large hail and severe to damaging gusts.A level 1 surrounds the level 2 with similar hazards but lowered probabilities.A level 1 was issued for SE Finland mainly for large to isolated very large hail and strong to severe gusts.A level 1 was issued for parts of SW Russia mainly for large hail and gusts.SYNOPSISA filling trough over CNTRL into SE Europe breaks up into a progressive wave, which crosses the Aegean Sea E and numerous lifting waves over NW Europe. A new digging trough over the NE Atlantic and attendant WAA increase thickness over SW Europe with a building ridge, which amplifies into a new blocking feature for the following days. Blocking persists over NW Russia.The main synoptic-scale boundary of interest is the one, which affects far NW Russia and bends S/SE towards Belarus/Ukraine, spearating an hot and well mixed airmass to the S/E from a more humid and cooler one to the N/W.DISCUSSION...Far E Europe and adjacent areas ...Rising heights/MSLP over W Russia pushes the boundary deeper into the Ukraine whereas a lifting depression over NE Europe causes some eastbound motion over/E of the Baltic States. The inflection point evolves over E-CNTRL Belarus and lifts also N.Constantly improving mass flux convergence over the CNTRL Ukraine and adjacent areas pushes mixed BL moisture in excess of 10-12 g/kg beneath mid-level lapse rates approaching 8K/km. Resulting MUCAPE resides in the 1000-2000 J/kg range with a confined belt of robust CAPE in the 2000-3000 J/kg range next to the boundary itself. Shear improves from E to W and initiating cells pose a large to very large hail risk with 5 cm hail reports (and more) anticipated. DCAPE in excess of 1 kJ/kg also indicates a severe downburst thr...
