Areas affected...portions of the Carolina coast

Concerning...Tornado Watch 662...

Valid 302136Z - 302230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 662 continues.

SUMMARY...The risk for mini supercells and an attendant risk for a
couple of tornadoes will likely continue to move northeast up the
Carolina coast through the evening. A tornado watch will be
considered to include portions of the Outer Banks to the northeast
of the Tornado Watch #662 when the environment becomes more
favorable for tornadoes.

DISCUSSION...Late afternoon radar imagery from KLTX (Wilmington, NC)
shows a cluster of quasi-discrete supercells near the northeast SC
coast/Grand Strand vicinity and adjacent continental shelf waters
south of Cape Fear. A significant increase in low-level shear has
been observed at KLTX during the past 2 hours with 0-1 km SRH (using
observed storm motion) in excess of 400 m2/s2. With a nearly
saturated profile and mid 70s surface dewpoints, only weak buoyancy
is analyzed. However, the strengthening low-level shear profiles
and enlarging hodographs will continue to be favorable for low-level mesocyclones over the next few hours as the outer bands of Idalia
continue northeastward up the coast. The area of favorable
shear/buoyancy will probably overspread portions of the Outer Banks
later this evening.
