Mesoscale Discussion 1843 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1040 AM CDT Tue Aug 06 2024 Areas affected...portions of northeast South Carolina into southern North Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 603... Valid 061540Z - 061745Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 603 continues. SUMMARY...An isolated tornado threat continues across portions of the coastal Carolinas in association with Tropical Storm Debbie. A few brief tornadoes may accompany the stronger storms through at least early afternoon. DISCUSSION...Multiple bands of stronger showers and thunderstorms are impinging on the counties in northern SC into southern NC that border the Atlantic in advance of the center of TS Debbie, which continues to gradually drift north-northeastward this morning. Given poor tropospheric lapse rates and widespread, persistent cloud cover, overall buoyancy should remain modest (i.e. 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE, supported mainly by mid to upper 70s F surface dewpoints). Around 200-300 m2/s2 of effective SRH may overspread the 80+ F surface temperatures along coastal NC later this afternoon, where a slight uptick in tornado potential may be realized. Otherwise, a persistent threat of a stray, brief tornado should persist while gradually shifting northward along the NC Outer Banks through the day. ..Squitieri.. 08/06/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
