Some of these storms could be capable of producing damaging gusts. Observational trends will be monitored for potential watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Initial convective line that extends from about 25 miles south of FAY in southeast SC to the NC coast about 40 miles east-northeast of CHS is expected to continue northeastward over the next few hours. Limited land area exists ahead of this line, but the northeastward motion of the line may keep it over coastal NC. Buoyancy has remain modest ahead of this line thus far, with the cooler trajectories off the water contributing to lower temperatures. Even so, some additional heating is possible, with an attendant boost in buoyancy anticipated as well. This could lead to some intensification and the potential for a few damaging gusts. Clearing in the wake of this line has allowed for additional isolation ahead of the cold front, with temperatures now in the mid to upper 70s. Dewpoints are in the low to mid 60s. Lapse rates are weak, but these warm and moist conditions still support moderate buoyancy, with mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg across eastern SC. This region will be on the southern edge of the stronger flow aloft, but enough shear is still expected to support organized storms.=20 Expectation is for another round of thunderstorms to develop along and ahead of the cold front this afternoon. Given the environment conditions, some of these storms could be severe. Observational trends will be monitored closely over the next few hours for potential watch issuance. ...Mosier/Hart.. 04/22/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_5NbhhOmFxtM7erXV6znkX8G1O6EK15nkD73vSIUUArNJGZ-tAWjDB_30BACmhZLta-16kLSx= rKb7Xw68uWr8ElPSK0$ for graphic product...
