A tornado threat is expected to develop today from parts of eastern North Carolina into central Virginia. ....Eastern North Carolina/Central Virginia... Tropical Storm Debby will move northward across eastern South Carolina today and into southern Virginia by this evening. Rainbands associated with Debby are forecast to move from North Carolina this morning into Virginia by afternoon. Although the strongest destabilization is expected in the coastal areas of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, the strongest low-level winds associated with Debby are forecast to be further to the west. RAP forecast sounding along the path of the strongest low-level winds have 0-3 km storm-relative helicity in the 200 to 300 m2/s2 range with precipitable water values above 2.5 inches and MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg. This should be favorable for a tornado threat, associated with the more discrete storms embedded in the rainbands of Debby. The tornado threat is expected to continue this evening, as Debby approaches southern Virginia, and gradually weakens in the process. ...Broyles/Thornton.. 08/08/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
