A Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed. DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms developed along a pre-frontal trough this morning across western North Carolina. There have been a few reports of wind damage and measured wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph. The environment continues to improve ahead of this activity with temperatures in the low 80s and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s yielding an uncapped airmass according to SPC mesoanalysis. Therefore, despite 12Z CAM guidance insistence this morning activity should dissipate, expect it to continue eastward as destabilization continues with MLCAPE around 1500 to 2000 J/kg by early to mid-afternoon. Effective shear around 30 to 35 knots will support multicell storm clusters and potentially some rotating updrafts. However, a warm/moist thermodynamic profile should limit hail potential with water loaded-downdrafts as the primary threat.=20 A Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed shortly to cover the threat from the ongoing storms and any additional development which may occur. ...Bentley/Mosier.. 07/09/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-oOYOWFbxxovKtskVETJEDCiE78ohNQY0cOKfo825eZNRwlQ2LgO2RsnGV1j_gTn4N0AlxllI= DM6hucWOrl-Z0sRJpU$ for graphic product...
