Areas affected...Portions of central North Carolina into far
south-central Virginia

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 101736Z - 101930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Severe risk is evolving over portions of central North
Carolina into far south-central Virginia this afternoon. Brief
tornadoes and/or damaging gusts are the main concern.

DISCUSSION...A loosely organized cluster of storms has been evolving
northward along a weak north/south-oriented baroclinic zone draped
across parts of central NC during the last couple hours. This storm
cluster has shown signs of transient midlevel updraft
rotation/supercell characteristics, and recent low-level updraft intensification. While instability is fairly limited, continued warming/moistening of the inflow for this activity is expected
during the next few hours. Additionally, the RAX VWP depicts strong
low-level shear, characterized by 30 kt of 0-1 km bulk shear and
ample streamwise vorticity for an east-northeastward-moving storm.
Low-level shear will also continue strengthening amid a
strengthening low-level jet. While the tornado risk may remain
localized (especially near the baroclinic zone) in the short-term,
the tornado/damaging wind risk should increase across the area with
time.=20

Farther east toward the coast, the severe risk should also gradually
increase with time this afternoon, and this area is being monitored
as well.
