Solak Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Mesoscale Discussion 832 < Previous MD Mesoscale Discussion 0832 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0213 PM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Areas affected...Northeastern South Carolina...central North Carolina...and southern Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 241913Z - 242115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are moving northeastward into the discussion area, with additional isolated development in southern North Carolina over the past hour. A tornado watch will likely be needed before 21Z. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms over WWs 263 and 264 have exhibited an uptick in intensity and rotation over the past hour or so, while moving northeastward at around 25-30 knots. The environment across the discussion area is moderately unstable south of a warm front over northern North Carolina (just south of and parallel to the Virginia state line). 1000-2000 J/kg MUCAPE and 200-250 m2/s2 effective SRH will sustain upstream storms as they move into the discussion area, with tornadoes and damaging wind gusts being the primary threats with this activity (although hail cannot be completely ruled out). A tornado watch will likely be needed for a large part of the discussion area by 21Z if not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is pretty typical SE tornado setup....there will probably be a dozen or two more warnings this afternoon but most will be short lived and weaker tornados. Storm with a tor warning in NC now SW of the Triad......Clemmons NC seems to be a tornado magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YetAnotherRDUGuy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Am I right in thinking it's unusual to see Tornado Watches cover such a vast area as what we're seeing now, or is my memory playing tricks on me?
