CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 527...530...
VALID 290105Z - 290230Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 527, 530
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND, MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL, AND
POSSIBLY A TORNADO WILL CONTINUE INTO LATE EVENING.
DISCUSSION...SCATTERED STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS ARE ONGOING
THIS EVENING FROM ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL/EASTERN NC/VA. THE 00Z GSO
AND MHX SOUNDINGS DEPICT A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ORGANIZED
STORMS, WITH RICH BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE, MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 2500
J/KG, AND SUFFICIENT DEEP-LAYER SHEAR. SHORT-TERM GUIDANCE AND AREA
VWPS DEPICT INCREASING FLOW IN THE LOWEST 3 KM, WITH ASSOCIATED
LOW-LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION POTENTIALLY SUPPORTING AN INCREASE IN
STORM COVERAGE FROM EASTERN NC INTO FAR SOUTHEAST VA WITH TIME THIS
EVENING.
OCCASIONAL SUPERCELLS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE INTO LATE
EVENING, WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND, MARGINAL HAIL,
AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO. INCREASING STORM COVERAGE MAY RESULT IN SOME
INCREASE IN WIND-DAMAGE POTENTIAL WITH TIME, WITH ENLARGING
LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS CONTINUING TO SUPPORT SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL,
IF SURFACE-BASED CONVECTION CAN BE MAINTAINED.
