Valid 092026Z - 092200Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 5, 6, 7 continues. SUMMARY...The supercell tornado threat is increasing this afternoon. DISCUSSION...A band of supercells has started to mature as they move north over the warm Atlantic waters. Very strong shear, (68 knots per CHS 18Z RAOB) and a vorticity rich low-level airmass with 474 m2/2 0-500m SRH will support a waterspout/tornado threat with these supercells. However, at this time, instability is still quite limited along the coast with only 61F dewpoint at North Myrtle Beach, SC and Southport, NC. This may keep the tornado threat confined to the coast initially. However, the higher theta-e airmass over the ocean is expected to advect inland late this afternoon and evening which may also increase the strong tornado threat. ...Bentley.. 01/09/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6VaKtvzgmx4wQ8F6vebAOuDZ-J5RL45Mf0jH3nx6jYs8ni8j3JsE2ifT2d2-cVR5ZHHttvirb= NjPvrKOL1aGir4a4qI$ for graphic product...
