FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Mesoscale Discussion 2329 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CST Sun Dec 10 2023 Areas affected...Portions of southeastern Virginia and eastern North Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 721... Valid 102153Z - 102330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 721 continues. SUMMARY...A localized severe threat continues across portions of Tornado Watch 721. DISCUSSION...Latest observational data suggests two main corridors that remain at least locally favorable for severe thunderstorms across Tornado Watch 721. Off the Carolinas coast, a band of showers and thunderstorms driven by low/midlevel warm advection are streaming northward toward coastal NC, and some of these storms have exhibited transient organization given ample low/deep-layer shear. While instability over land is marginal, there is still some potential that this activity could affect immediate coast areas and pose a brief tornado risk and/or damaging-wind threat. Farther north from north-central NC into southeast VA, the AKQ VWP is sampling 50 kt near 1 km AGL, which is yielding strong low-level shear with ample low-level hodograph curvature. Similarly, weak instability has generally limited updraft strength, though subtle backing of the low-level flow and substantial pressure falls may provide some focus for thunderstorms into the evening. If any storms can root at the surface, a tornado cannot be ruled out. ..Weinman.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...AKQ...MHX...RAH...ILM...
