0759 AM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024
Areas affected…Eastern NC into southeast VA
Concerning…Tornado Watch 613…
Valid 081259Z – 081430Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 613 continues.
SUMMARY…The tornado threat will continue through the morning, and
gradually spread northward with time.
DISCUSSION…Occasional small supercells and possible tornadoes
continue to be noted within the northeast quadrant of Tropical Storm
Debby, which is forecast by NHC to gradually accelerate northward
through the day. The northeast quadrant will continue to be the
favored area for tornado potential, due to having the most favorable
wind profiles (with regional VWPs and the 12Z MHX sounding depicting
0-1 km SRH of 200-400 m2/s2), as well as somewhat stronger
instability, along the eastern periphery of the larger precipitation
shield. This area of favorable buoyancy/shear overlap will gradually
spread northward through the day, with some tornado potential
eventually moving into parts of northeast NC and southeast VA, where
very moist and relatively warm conditions are already in place.
