Not impressed for the immediate Raleigh area storms will be colliding into one another...instead of discrete super-cells. 

 

Well the watch does explicitly say that the storms will eventually merge into clusters of multi-cells.. So that shouldn't be a surprise. Still poses the risk for damaging hail and winds.

If the storms can get linear enough bowing line segments will be the main threat for sure and up the chance of more widespread storm reports. 15 mins of hail reported in VA with areas getting the ground completely covered....

Time will tell...

 

Severe storms are still a possibility this afternoon and tonight. Initial storm development will likely occur across the southern Piedmont and Sandhills into the Coastal Plain early this afternoon. Later this afternoon into the evening, the focus will shift towards the northern and western Piedmont. Damaging winds remain the biggest concern.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0534   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK   0143 PM CDT MON MAY 02 2016   AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL/ERN NC...S-CNTRL/SE VA   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE    VALID 021843Z - 021945Z   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT   SUMMARY...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED SVR HAIL ARE POSSIBLE AS   STORM COVERAGE INCREASES THIS AFTERNOON. TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED   FOR A POSSIBLE WW.   DISCUSSION...RECENT OBSERVATIONS REVEAL TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED   INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THESE   SURFACE TEMPERATURES COUPLED WITH GOOD LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE /DEWPOINTS   IN THE MID 60S/ ARE SUPPORTING MLCAPE AROUND 1500-2000 J PER KG.   BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING IS EXPECTED TO KEEP INSTABILITY CLOSE TO   CURRENTLY OBSERVED VALUES DESPITE PERSISTENT HEATING. HOWEVER...THE   CONTINUED MIXING AND RESULTING STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL   CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR DAMAGING WIND   GUSTS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS SRN VA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE-DEWPOINTS   SPREADS WILL BE GREATER. SOME HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH THE   STRONGEST UPDRAFTS BUT THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON THE SRN   FRINGE OF THE BETTER FLOW ALOFT...LIMITING STORM ORGANIZATION AND   SUSTAINED UPDRAFT STRENGTH. CONVECTIVE TRENDS ACROSS THE REGION WILL   BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE WW.   ..MOSIER/DIAL.. 05/02/2016
