Areas affected...portions of the coastal Carolinas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 261858Z - 262130Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A damaging gust or two is possible this afternoon across
portions of the coastal Carolinas. A watch is not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...A seasonably moist air mass is in place across portions
of the eastern Carolinas, where convective temperatures have been
reached, resulting in scattered thunderstorms ongoing this
afternoon. The KLTX VWP shows generally weak flow, which correlates
with the single- and multicell modes apparent on radar. Due to the
high precipitable water values (>2 in) in place across the region,
water loading in downdrafts may be enough for some damaging gusts
across the region. Additionally, storms may cluster with time, and
this may slightly increase the threat for damaging gusts. However,
this threat is still expected to be fairly sporadic, and therefore a
watch is not expected at this time.
