    Mesoscale Discussion 1451
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0609 PM CDT Fri Sep 14 2018

    Areas affected...Far northern NC and southern VA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 142309Z - 150115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A marginal risk exists for a brief tornado to possibly
    occur yet this evening (through 8-9 PM EDT) across far northern
    North Carolina and in portions of southern Virginia, as individual
    showers and occasional thunderstorms move to the west or
    west-southwest.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in individual radar imagery across northern NC
    and southern VA had indicated periodic low-level rotational couplets
    tracking to the west and west-southwest at 25-30 kt. Cellular
    convection across the discussion area is located on the northern
    periphery of Florence, where the environment remains very moist with
    surface dew points in the lower 70s F inland and in the middle-upper
    70s in southeast VA and northeast NC. Modifying the AKQ VAD with
    surface wind and a storm motion of cells in southern VA indicated
    relatively weak 0-1 km SRH of less than 100 m2/s2 (with an
    individual value near 75 m2/s2). Meanwhile, the 21Z/22Z runs of the
    NSSL Experimental Warn-on-forecast System for Ensembles (NEWS-e)
    suggested the potential for low-level vertical vorticity should
    persist through around 15/00Z and reflectivity structures should
    weaken after 00Z. Although the air mass remains moist with low
    LCLs, an unfavorable shear environment (as indicated by the VAD) and
    the NEWS-e forecast guidance, indicating a short duration for any
    additional rotational couplets, precludes the issuance of a tornado
    watch.
