The expected isolated -- and largely marginal -- nature of the threat suggests that WW issuance will likely not be needed. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows isolated convection having increased in intensity somewhat over the past hour across eastern portions of North Carolina, near and ahead of the surface cold front. The pre-frontal warm sector -- featuring 500 to 1500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE -- will support a continuation of storms, as they gradually shift eastward and eventually move offshore over the next few hours. Until then, strong/unidirectional westerly flow aloft is supporting shear supportive of organized updrafts/mid-level rotation, which will permit a continuation of local severe potential -- mainly in the form of marginally severe hail. ...Goss/Grams.. 03/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5EJjCOFfWfu9Tw6TZo_R6QWrXex1AMQAbSXJt9eC4e9QTtnfENAFM1exaW9s80K7lH3VBPFub= _9UghHQF8FRmeOWeMw$ for graphic product...
