DISCUSSION...Visible satellite trends show deepening cu across much of the region from central/southern Virginia southward into the Carolinas. Thunderstorm development is likely to begin in these regions over the next 1-2 hours. A few cells have developed across western North Carolina near the higher terrain. The air mass east of this development is characterized by MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg with temperatures in the upper 80s-90s and dew points in the low to mid 70s. This moist and unstable air mass will support multicell clusters capable of downbursts. A watch will likely be needed to cover this threat soon. ...Thornton/Hart.. 08/18/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6wFZugJ124Eg2B5yDYj5cYKL_yVFhkWuSbGOeWUb79ApiYcOqwb1drqCzGG4_KHn_e1e_vOMz= YH1TnC4t8s3TKsVOCI$ for graphic product...
