Areas affected...Western South Carolina and central North Carolina

Concerning...Tornado Watch 23...

Valid 122254Z - 130030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 23 continues.

SUMMARY...The damaging wind and tornado threat will continue this
evening across the Carolinas. An additional tornado watch may be
needed across central North Carolina.

DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms has produced sporadic damaging
wind gusts across eastern Tennessee, Georgia, and western North
Carolina/South Carolina. Recent observations continue to show near
severe (40-50 knot) wind gusts from many observing stations despite
weakening instability with eastern extent. Therefore, expect a
damaging wind threat to continue east through the evening before
eventually weakening as storms ingest a drier airmass near the coast
(40sF dewpoints). In addition, southerly surface winds beneath a 50
knot southwesterly low-level jet, will continue to support some
tornado threat, but this should also be mitigated by the decreasing
instability.

Therefore, the damaging wind/tornado threat is expected to persist
through the evening, and could necessitate a watch for portions of
central North Carolina, before this line of storms becomes
non-severe tonight.
