Areas affected...far southeast North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 091927Z - 092100Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts possible.

DISCUSSION...A mini supercell, currently with no lightning, has
developed across Columbus county, North Carolina. The LTX VWP shows
gradually increasing wind with height and some low-level turning.
This storm developed within a region of weak instability, but there
is greater instability closer to the coast where the greater
moisture is present. The most likely scenario will be a sub-severe
mini-supercell, but given the strong wind profile and gradually
increasing instability as it move east, a wind gust or even a
tornado cannot be ruled out.

Additionally, another cell could develop to its south/west and pose
a similar threat through the afternoon.
