[html]MD 2035 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 2035
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0109 PM CDT Fri Aug 30 2024
Areas affected...much of central North Carolina
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 301809Z - 302015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Storms will increase in coverage from northern into
central North Carolina, with isolated damaging gusts possible.
DISCUSSION...Surface analysis and visible imagery show a cold front
extending from parts of western VA into northern/northeastern NC. A
moist and unstable air mass exists south of this front with MLCAPE
over 2000 J/kg, although midlevel lapse rates are poor and below 6.0
C/km. Storms are already forming along the front, as well as north
of the wind shift into southern VA.
As heating continues, steepening low-level lapse rates along with
ample precipitable water will support locally strong downdrafts.
Although winds aloft/shear are weak, clustering of storms near the
front may result in a few southward-propagating clusters as outflows
merge, yielding areas of strong or locally damaging gusts.
