FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA...FAR NORTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA Mesoscale Discussion 2334 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0349 PM CST Sun Dec 17 2023 Areas affected...eastern North Carolina...far northeast South Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 722... Valid 172149Z - 172345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 722 continues. SUMMARY...A corridor of brief tornado risk may persist through early evening. DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows gradual warming as winds veer over the region, but instability remain limited over much of the area. A plume of stronger instability does exist over the ocean, with upper 60s F dewpoints now ahead of the low and not far from the latitude of KMYR and KSUT. The persistent and strong southeasterly winds ahead of the low track will maintain a minimally unstable air mass over eastern NC, where very strong low-level shear will remain. Cooling aloft and lift near the deepening low and midlevel trough, despite the midlevel dry slot, may still yield isolated supercells, perhaps moving onshore with brief tornado risk before interacting with the cooler air mass. ..Jewell.. 12/17/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
