    Areas affected...Portions of eastern/central North Carolina

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 374...

    Valid 150001Z - 150200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 374 continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for a weak tornado or two remains in southern
    portions of WW 374.

    DISCUSSION...The general trend in radar imagery from KMHX over the
    past hour or two has been weak, transient supercell structures
    within an outer rainband of Tropical Storm Florence moving onshore
    near Morehead City, NC. The strongest circulations, however, have
    remained offshore. This outer band has slowly shifted to the
    southwest with time, consistent with the NHC forecast track. While
    the system and associated surface wind fields are expected to weaken
    slowly this evening, strong low-level shear -- around 30 kts per
    KMHX VAD -- and parcel trajectories favoring moisture influx into
    the region supports at least some threat for a weak tornado or two.
    Northern portions of WW 374 likely have experienced the peak in
    activity already. Surface flow in that area will continue to become
    less favorable as the system moves slowly west/southwest.
