    Areas affected...Portions of western and northern Missouri and
    eastern Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 141754Z - 141930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop along and south of a quasi-stationary front between 18 and 19z. Severe wind gusts and
    marginally severe hail are the main threats. Watch issuance is
    likely.

    DISCUSSION...Quickly-eroding convective inhibition, a weak frontal
    wave/MCV over the Kansas City area, and frontal convergence over
    Kansas is expected to contribute to scattered thunderstorm
    development in the next hour or two. Over Missouri, effective bulk
    wind shear is rather small and will gradually decrease even further
    through the afternoon to values of 15-25 kt. Effective bulk shear
    will be slightly higher --25-35 kt-- over eastern Kansas. Multicells
    will be the dominant mode, but MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg and DCAPE
    that is expected to rise to 1000-1200 J/kg will contribute to severe
    wind potential in any of the stronger downdrafts, particularly with
    the initial thunderstorms before outflow spreads rapidly over the
    area.

    Over Missouri, although severe hail is possible in any of the
    stronger storms, a relative minimum in mid-level lapse rates and a
    lack of organized storm rotation should keep hail sizes on the marginally-severe end. Over Kansas slightly higher effective bulk
    shear and larger lapse rates could produce somewhat larger hail over
    the area. High-resolution guidance suggests outflow will quickly
    consolidate into a mesoscale cold pool over both areas, but weak
    vertical wind shear should preclude any organized MCS development
    and thus preclude any organized, larger-scale severe wind potential.
    But the coverage of storms and severe wind/hail potential is
    expected to be large enough to need a Severe Thunderstorm Watch over
    the area by 19z.

    Areas affected...Portions of central and northern North Carolina
    into southern Virginia

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 88...91...

    Valid 192035Z - 192130Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 88, 91 continues.

    SUMMARY...Locally enhanced tornado threat is expected to continue
    for the next few hours. A strong tornado cannot be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple discrete supercells have matured across
    northern North Carolina into southern Virginia over the past few
    hours. A few of the storms have exhibited strong, sustained
    low-level rotation, with a relatively long lived tornado debris
    signature observed across Orange County, North Carolina within the
    past half hour.

    These storms are currently moving into an environment characterized
    by modest buoyancy (1000 J/kg MLCAPE), and very strong low-level
    directional and speed shear, with RAX VAD VWPs and mesoanalysis
    indicating over 450 m2/s2 of 0-1km SRH. This ambient environment may
    support a more organized tornado threat over the next few hours, and
    given the relatively large amount of streamwise vorticity available,
    a strong tornado or two cannot be ruled out.
