    Concerning...Tornado Watch 87...

    Valid 031822Z - 031945Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 87 continues.

    SUMMARY...Discrete storms ahead of the cold front will pose the
    greatest risk for a tornado this afternoon. The northward extent of
    the risk will depend on how far north the warm front lifts.

    DISCUSSION...Currently, the mesoscale environment most supportive of
    a tornado exists near/south of the warm front in north-central North
    Carolina into southeast Virginia. In particular, a storm near the Granville/Vance County line has intensified in the last hour. This
    discrete storm will continue northeastward into an area of surface
    heating through anvil cirrus. The AKQ VAD shows a fairly large
    low-level hodograph. Discrete storms ahead of the surface font will
    pose the greatest short term tornado risk. Some northward lifting of
    the warm front is possible, but uncertain. Tornado risk along the
    front is also unclear, though the strongest activity has generally
    tended to be more discrete elements embedded within weaker
    precipitation. That said, some risk, though lower, will also exist
    along the front.
