Areas affected...far eastern North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 211648Z - 211915Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong storms may develop this afternoon over far
eastern North Carolina. Localized hail or wind may occur.

DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a low over northeast
NC/southeast VA, with a cold front extending westward across
northern NC. South of this front, westerly winds and strong heating
are steepening boundary layer lapse rates, and removing convective
inhibition. Meanwhile, a narrow zone of mid 70s F dewpoints remains
in place over far eastern NC. Continued heating will yield over 2000
J/kg MLCAPE, beneath moderate westerlies aloft with around 50 kt
deep layer shear.

Although the westerly flow regime will eventually result in a drying
air mass, a window may exist in the near term for a few strong to
severe storms. Isolated marginal hail or a strong downburst cannot
be ruled out.
