    Mesoscale Discussion 1656
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1216 PM CST Sat Nov 24 2018

    Areas affected...North Carolina Outer Banks vicinity

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 241816Z - 241945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated supercells could impact portions of the Outer
    Banks through 2-5 PM EST. This may be accompanied by at least some
    risk for a tornado or localized damaging wind gusts over land areas,
    but the severe threat appears generally low enough that a watch is
    not anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...A small area of sustained vigorous thunderstorm
    development remains focused near/northeast of a developing surface
    low now migrating northeast of Wilmington. This is being supported
    by large-scale forcing for ascent associated with strong low-level
    warm advection, beneath difluent high level flow ahead of an
    approaching vigorous upper trough axis. This forcing is forecast to
    continue developing steadily eastward/northeastward, likely off
    southern Mid Atlantic coastal areas by 22-23Z.

    Thunderstorm activity may increase through the next few hours inland
    across the North Carolina coastal plain, and perhaps the Virginia
    Tidewater area. However, inland of the coast, this appears likely
    to be elevated above a near surface stable layer, with negligible
    risk for severe weather, before the onset of mid-level subsidence
    and drying diminishes convective potential.

    Based on latest Rapid Refresh forecast soundings, the
    northern/northwestern periphery of boundary-layer based
    destabilization and thunderstorm development probably will remain
    offshore, passing near/south through east of Morehead City.
    However, large clockwise curved low-level hodographs within this
    environment will be conducive to supercells with a risk for
    tornadoes, and/or localized strong surface gusts, and at least
    portions of the Outer Banks could be impacted through the 19-22Z
    time frame.
