Mesoscale Discussion 2035
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0109 PM CDT Fri Aug 30 2024
Areas affected...much of central North Carolina
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 301809Z - 302015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Storms will increase in coverage from northern into
central North Carolina, with isolated damaging gusts possible.
DISCUSSION...Surface analysis and visible imagery show a cold front
extending from parts of western VA into northern/northeastern NC. A
moist and unstable air mass exists south of this front with MLCAPE
over 2000 J/kg, although midlevel lapse rates are poor and below 6.0
C/km. Storms are already forming along the front, as well as north
of the wind shift into southern VA.
As heating continues, steepening low-level lapse rates along with
ample precipitable water will support locally strong downdrafts.
Although winds aloft/shear are weak, clustering of storms near the
front may result in a few southward-propagating clusters as outflows
merge, yielding areas of strong or locally damaging gusts.
