.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1108 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024/

...NC...
Late morning surface analysis and visible satellite imagery show a
weak boundary extending across eastern NC.  Strong heating will
occur along and to the south of the boundary this afternoon, where
dewpoints are in the mid 70s.  Despite the high/increasing low level
theta-e, CAPE profiles will be limited by poor mid-level lapse rates
but will still be sufficient for scattered afternoon showers and
thunderstorms.  Low-level winds are weak, but forecast soundings
show veering in the lowest 2km near the boundary, and sufficient
southwesterly flow aloft for storm-scale organization.  This
suggests a scenario somewhat similar to yesterday in southern VA,
albeit a little more favorable.  A few rotating storms are possible,
with some potential for a tornado or two or locally strong wind
gusts with the more organized cells.  Therefore have added a narrow
MRGL risk area in vicinity of the surface boundary.
