    Areas affected...Northeast North Carolina...Southeast Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 120336Z - 120600Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat may continue for a few more
    hours across parts of northeastern North Carolina and southeast
    Virginia. The threat should be too marginal for weather watch
    issuance.

    DISCUSSION...An upper-level trough is currently moving through the
    southern Appalachians according to water vapor imagery. Ahead of the
    trough, the RAP is analyzing a 60 to 70 knot low-level jet from
    eastern North Carolina into southeastern Virginia. Thunderstorms are
    developing to the west of the low-level jet in a strongly sheared
    environment, where 0-6 km shear is 50 to 60 knots and 0-3 km
    storm-relative helicity is around 350 m2/s2, according to the
    Raleigh WSR-88D VWP. This should support an isolated tornado threat
    with low-topped supercells. An isolated wind-damage threat will also
    be possible. However, the storms will continue to move northeastward
    toward the coast where instability is considerably weaker. The
    boundary layer will also continue to cool contributing to a more
    stable airmass. This should result in a severe threat becoming more
    marginal with time.
