    Concerning...Tornado Watch 380...

    Valid 170055Z - 170300Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 380 continues.

    SUMMARY...A tornado or two will remain possible within WW 380,
    though the threat should diminish with time.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past several hours, a few bands of modestly
    rotating cells have been noted in radar imagery. Recent KTLX and
    KRAX VAD wind profiles indicate 0-1 km 200-300 m2/s2 SRH, which is
    higher than what is being analyzed by SPC mesoanalysis. However, the
    strongest instability has remained confined near the coast and, with
    the loss of insolation and lack of strong theta-e advection, has
    limited the overall tornado threat somewhat. 00Z soundings from MHX,
    GSO, and, to a lesser extent CHS, all indicate enhanced 850-700 mb
    flow leading to enlarged hodographs. Given these favorable wind
    fields, any stronger cells may acquire rotation and pose a threat
    for a tornado. With time Tropical Depression Florence is forecast by
    WPC to continue to the north. As the 850 mb jet weakens and veers
    from south to north, the overall threat should diminish. As such, a
    new WW may not be needed after the scheduled 03Z expiration of
    Tornado Watch 380.
