Areas affected...Eastern Georgia...Eastern South Carolina and
eastern North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 130027Z - 130300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A marginal severe threat may develop across parts of far
eastern Georgia, eastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina
over the next 1 to 2 hours. No weather watch issuance is expected.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a band of convection
oriented from south-southwest to north-northeast from southern
Georgia to central North Carolina. This convection is located along
the northern edge of a weakly unstable airmass, where the RAP is
analyzing MLCAPE below 500 J/kg. In spite of the weak instability,
moisture advection will occur across the eastern Carolinas over the
next couple of hours, which will result in a gradually increase in
instability. In addition, regional WSR-88D VWPs in the eastern
Carolinas have very strong deep-layer shear, associated with the
eastern edge of a broad mid-level jet. For this reason, there will
be potential for weakly organized rotating storms. Although a weak
tornado or strong wind gust will be possible, the threat should
remain isolated as the upper-level system over the Northeast pulls
away from the region.
