   Concerning...Tornado Watch 607...

   Valid 070425Z - 070630Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 607 continues.

   SUMMARY...Risk of tornadoes is gradually lowering across coastal
   portions of the Carolinas. New tornado watch is not currently
   expected.

   DISCUSSION...TS Debby remains located off the Carolina Coast south
   of CHS. Several broken convective bands persist within the eastern
   hemisphere of this cyclone with the most pronounced activity
   rotating inland from southeast SC into southern NC, within the main
   body of ww607. 00z soundings from CHS and MHX exhibit only modest
   shear with typical poor lapse rates and weak buoyancy. Earlier this
   evening several weak supercells were noted within the stronger
   bands, but updrafts appear to have weakened per radar and lightning
   data. Given the modest shear, and poor buoyancy, new Tornado Watch
   is not currently anticipated.
