Localized hail or wind may occur. DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a low over northeast NC/southeast VA, with a cold front extending westward across northern NC. South of this front, westerly winds and strong heating are steepening boundary layer lapse rates, and removing convective inhibition. Meanwhile, a narrow zone of mid 70s F dewpoints remains in place over far eastern NC. Continued heating will yield over 2000 J/kg MLCAPE, beneath moderate westerlies aloft with around 50 kt deep layer shear. Although the westerly flow regime will eventually result in a drying air mass, a window may exist in the near term for a few strong to severe storms. Isolated marginal hail or a strong downburst cannot be ruled out. ...Jewell/Guyer.. 05/21/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4R-2pu1V0stG_SLRKtJhSYLLV14KPlyn2VbtlaWYEi03Wi0gvdHUS_3cQv8IHLkySY4VaF4mA= FZaz-qMOTGj6WhJPNo$ for graphic product...
