    Areas affected...Central and Eastern North Carolina

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 228...

    Valid 162212Z - 162315Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 228
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe weather threat will continue for a few more
    hours.

    DISCUSSION...A few supercells and multicell clusters continue within
    watch 228. The strongest storms are in eastern portions of the watch
    where the greatest instability is present. Farther west, the airmass
    ahead of these storms has cooled as an outflow boundary has surged
    ahead. Therefore, enough instability exists in a moderate shear
    environment (30-35 knots) to support some severe weather threat, but
    the greater threat remains farther east. The severe weather threat
    remains more questionable in southern portions of watch 228. A few
    weak storms have developed in northern South Carolina, but have
    remained sub-severe thus far. This airmass has not been impacted by
    earlier convection, but dewpoints have mixed into the low 60s.
    Therefore, some strong to severe storms are possible, especially
    near the sea breeze boundary where greater low-level moisture is
    present, but the lesser instability may also preclude more robust
    thunderstorm development.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0793

    Areas affected...Eastern Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 141730Z - 142000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm clusters are expected to intensify through
    the afternoon and will pose a threat for sporadic damaging winds
    across east Texas. Watch issuance is not expected given the
    relatively modest kinematic environment.

    DISCUSSION...A thunderstorm cluster has been tracked in regional
    radar mosaics over the past few hours north of the Houston, TX area.
    This activity is largely being driven by ascent in the vicinity of
    an MCV that is slowly progressing northward towards southern OK.
    Over the past 30-60 minutes, GOES IR imagery has shown steadily
    cooling cloud top temperatures, and velocity data from KHGX reveals
    some outflow consolidation on the northern periphery of the cluster.
    These trends suggest that intensification is ongoing, likely in
    response to diurnal warming/destabilization.=20

    Temperatures climbing into the low/mid 80s downstream across east TX
    have eroded any lingering mixed-layer inhibition and allowed MLCAPE
    to approach 2000 J/kg faster than depicted by morning guidance.
    Mid-level winds decrease from 35 knots to around 20 knots away from
    the MCV, which will limit the potential for robust, long-lived storm organization. However, some form of semi-organized clustering with
    an attendant damaging wind threat is expected across east TX this
    afternoon given mesoscale ascent and modest deep-layer shear near
    the MCV coupled with the moderately buoyant environment. Recent
    hi-res and machine learning guidance suggests this threat will
    increase through the afternoon, peaking between 21-00 UTC across
    northeast TX during the diurnal thermal maximum.
