Valid 310059Z - 310230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 663 continues. SUMMARY...Risk for transient supercells and a few tornadoes continues within WW663. DISCUSSION...Latest radar trends continue to show transient supercells within the near-shore regions of coastal North Carolina from Cape Fear northward to the Outer Banks. Recent 00z RAOB from MHX indicates deeply saturated profile with MLCAPE around 500 J/kg and generally weak low-level shear. The VAD profile from KMHX has shown slow improvement in low-level shear with increasing curvature in the hodograph and 0-3 km SRH around 200 m2/s2. Inland temperatures have cooled as persistent banded rainfall continues to move inland. Within the next few hours, the greatest tornado threat is expected to be focus mainly along the immediate coast line shifting northward toward the Outer Banks and adjacent coastal waters where the best overlap of MLCAPE around 500-1000 J/kg overlaps deep layer shear around 40 kts. ...Thornton/Grams.. 08/31/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-r2hRCnRNtQZtNMGdJb6SEGcxcvNK9doRDKj0rSbLB5nl3m5yOXtqOnFGC39IwMg81zA7GQ7a= SZKVCQDbu8SOk747Ws$ for graphic product...
