    Mesoscale Discussion 1899
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0201 PM CDT Mon Oct 25 2021

    Areas affected...parts of central and western North Carolina into
    south-central Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 251901Z - 252100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe risk -- largely in the form of locally strong wind
    gusts -- will gradually increase this afternoon and into early
    evening. A WW may be required.

    DISCUSSION...A band of pre-frontal large-scale ascent -- associated
    with a mid-/upper-level vort max crossing western Ohio -- continues
    to spread across the Appalachians at this time. Ahead of this band
    of cloud cover/precipitation, weak heating/destabilization is
    ongoing across an area centered from south-central Virginia into
    central North Carolina. Here, temperatures warming into the 70s and
    dewpoints increasing into the 60s have resulted in 500 J/kg
    mixed-layer CAPE development per recent objective analysis. As
    large-scale ascent gradually overspreads this slightly more unstable environment, an increase in coverage/intensity of what thus far has
    been weak convection east of the mountains, is expected.

    As stronger/southwesterly flow aloft likewise spreads atop the area
    of greatest instability, shear will become supportive of organized
    storms. While a few rotating cells may evolve initially, which
    would include a non-zero tornado risk, upscale growth into
    lines/bands is expected -- particularly this evening as the cold
    front moves/redevelops east of the mountains. As such, the more
    substantial overall risk is likely to be wind.
