   Areas affected...Coastal Carolinas

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 98...99...

   Valid 060003Z - 060200Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98, 99 continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds and a few tornadoes will
   continue for the next couple of hours before gradually diminishing
   through the late evening as the squall line pushes offshore.

   DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar imagery from the eastern
   Carolinas continues to show discrete to semi-discrete cells ahead of
   an approaching squall line. Several of the more tornadic supercells
   have begun to interact with the line, yielding messier storm modes.
   This trend will continue as the line moves towards the Carolina
   coast over the next few hours. Until this occurs, a supportive
   kinematic environment featuring around 300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH ahead of
   the line will continue to support a tornado threat with both
   discrete cells ahead of the line and embedded circulations. The
   tornado potential may be maximize in the over the next couple of
   hours along and just north of a weak warm front noted near the SC/NC
   border where surface winds are backed to the east/southeast and
   low-level helicity is likely enhanced (as depicted well by latest
   KLTX VWP observations). Storms will likely continue to the
   east-central NC coast over the next few hours, but the need for a
   downstream watch is uncertain and will be conditional on the degree
   of destabilization that can occur over the next couple of hours.
