Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20 Valid 191540Z - 191715Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...The severe weather threat will increase through early afternoon. DISCUSSION...A thunderstorm cluster near the center of a MCV has gradually increased in intensity across central North Carolina over the last hour. Downstream, temperatures have warmed into the low to mid 80s with mid to upper 70s dewpoints. This has yielded 1500 to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE with most inhibition eroded. Some additional heating is likely which could lead to further destabilization. This will result in strengthening of ongoing convection and the potential for additional thunderstorms to develop in the vicinity of the MCV.=20 The KRAX VWP shows 55 to 60 knots of flow around 4km which far exceeds any forecast guidance. This strong low-mid level flow should provide ample shear for organized convection and rotating updrafts. Large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat. A slight risk will be added in this region at the 1630Z Day 1 Convective Outlook and a watch may be needed by early afternoon. ...Bentley/Hart.. 07/19/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5nV8u1n6ipq3YTOl8p-EJi3cgqMnIamlnbaw_WKyw--DYc35EztGfqww8BZkK0oJptWIGLcvR= bvfAyTJSECluIFjyx4$ for graphic product...
