Severe/damaging winds and isolated large hail will be possible region wide. The tornado threat will primarily be in North Carolina. DISCUSSION...Strong to severe storms are ongoing into parts of eastern Tennessee. These storms could move into western North Carolina by 19Z/3 PM EDT based on current tracking. Additional storms seem probable within the southern Appalachians given dewpoints near/above 70 F within the terrain. Strong heating has occurred near the terrain with a lesser degree in central North Carolina due to lingering stratocumulus. Given strong wind profiles and the unstable airmass, organized convection is likely to impact these areas this afternoon. Storms will be capable of severe/damaging winds and isolated large hail. The tornado threat will generally be maximized to the north and decrease the south as stronger 850 mb winds will remain primarily into North Carolina. Furthermore, timing of storms entering western South Carolina is likely going to be later in the afternoon than farther north as well. A watch is likely for much of these areas this afternoon. A tornado watch is more likely into North Carolina with a severe thunderstorm watch more probable later into South Carolina. ...Wendt/Guyer.. 08/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8e3VfpmtZxHnbFz6x1RUrqa5eLfUPrF2gNMoRKuA-6__pS3CUTJ4YbQ2VbB6JxrWS-H5CcTwn= H16_JVzglhLYI6W380$ for graphic product...
