    Mesoscale Discussion 1468
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0928 AM CDT Mon Sep 17 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of far northern North Carolina and
    Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 171428Z - 171630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A brief tornado or two will be possible into mid-day, but
    the threat is expected to remain low enough to preclude watch
    issuance.

    DISCUSSION...As a vorticity maximum rotates around the eastern
    periphery of Florence's broader remnant circulation, enhanced
    warm-air advection and related low-level confluence are maintaining
    a cluster of thunderstorms near the VA/NC border. Localized, slight
    backing of flow near a weak surface front/trough is yielding
    adequate storm-relative helicity to locally increase the tornado
    threat this morning. For example, KAKQ VWP data recently sampled
    favorable 0-1km helicity (around 175 m2/s2).

    This focused, marginal threat should gradually lift northward into
    the afternoon, assuming a slow northward advance of increasing
    surface-based buoyancy today.
