MD 0038 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 5...7... FOR NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...AND SOUTHERN VIRGINIA.
Mesoscale Discussion 0038 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0302 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...northern South Carolina...central North Carolina...and southern Virginia. Concerning...Tornado Watch 5...7... Valid 092102Z - 092230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 5, 7 continues. SUMMARY...A broken line of storms continues east with a threat for damaging wind gusts and potential for brief tornadoes. DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms continues to move east across central South Carolina and central North Carolina with a history of producing damaging wind gusts. Lightning has lessened within the last few hours along this line as it moves east of the greater forcing and into a less buoyant airmass. However, some reintensification of the line has recently been observed near the South Carolina/North Carolina border, likely as a result of the approaching synoptic front. This was well forecast by the last several runs of the WoFS which also persist this well organized line to the South Carolina and North Carolina coast this evening. The best potential for supercellular tornadoes (and strong tornado potential) still exists with strong supercells moving off of the Gulf (see MCD 36), however, there remains some potential for tornadic producing supercells ahead of the squall line through the evening. Watch 7 may need to be expanded to the coast in eastern North Carolina and southeast Virginia if discrete development ahead of the line indicates it may move into that region. ..Bentley/Hart.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0036 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 5...6...7... FOR FAR EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0036 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0226 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...far eastern South Carolina and southeast North Carolina Concerning...Tornado Watch 5...6...7... Valid 092026Z - 092200Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 5, 6, 7 continues. SUMMARY...The supercell tornado threat is increasing this afternoon. DISCUSSION...A band of supercells has started to mature as they move north over the warm Atlantic waters. Very strong shear, (68 knots per CHS 18Z RAOB) and a vorticity rich low-level airmass with 474 m2/2 0-500m SRH will support a waterspout/tornado threat with these supercells. However, at this time, instability is still quite limited along the coast with only 61F dewpoint at North Myrtle Beach, SC and Southport, NC. This may keep the tornado threat confined to the coast initially. However, the higher theta-e airmass over the ocean is expected to advect inland late this afternoon and evening which may also increase the strong tornado threat. ..Bentley.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
