    Mesoscale Discussion 1565
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0731 AM CDT Thu Oct 11 2018

    Areas affected...central and southern NC...southeast and
    south-central VA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 111231Z - 111400Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Gradual destabilization this morning will become more
    favorable for cellular development and a corresponding increased
    risk for tornadoes. A tornado watch will likely be needed in the
    next couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows the center of tropical cyclone
    Michael over central SC as of 825am EDT. A wide shield of heavy
    rain encompasses the northern semicircle of the weakening tropical
    system but a south-southeast to north-northwest zone of
    quasi-discrete convection is located immediately to the northeast of
    the rain shield. It is here and to the east and southeast that
    destabilization (through advection and weak heating) will promote
    increased potential for stronger updrafts and quasi-discrete
    supercells later this morning into the afternoon. Forecast
    soundings from near Raleigh northeastward into southeast VA show
    hodographs enlarging with 0-1 km SRH ranging from 250-350 m2/s2 by
    15-18z. Moderate buoyancy (1000 J/kg MLCAPE) is already evident in
    the coastal plain (reference the 12z MHX raob) and will spread
    inland as temperatures rise into the upper 70s degrees F in the
    corridor from the Triangle into southeast VA. Several tornadoes are
    possible in the vicinity of this strengthening baroclinic zone to
    the northeast of the center of Michael's circulation where the
    combination of strongest pressure falls, buoyancy, and shear
    overlap.
