   CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 307...
   
   VALID 112330Z - 120100Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 307 CONTINUES.
   
   THE SEVERE THREAT WILL SPREAD EWD ACROSS THE PAMLICO SOUND AREA OF
   ERN NC AND WILL PERSIST ACROSS SRN NC FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. A
   TORNADO OR TWO REMAIN POSSIBLE HOWEVER...LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE
   SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH THE STRONGER CELLS. A REPLACEMENT
   WW MAY BECOME NECESSARY OVER THE NEXT HOUR ACROSS SRN NC.
   
   LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A 994 MB LOW OVER NE NC WITH A OUTFLOW
   BOUNDARY EXTENDING WSWWD INTO CNTRL NC. A COLD FRONT IS PRESENT FROM
   NEAR RALEIGH NC SWD INTO CNTRL SC. RUC DATA SUGGESTS MODERATE
   INSTABILITY REMAINS EAST OF THE BOUNDARY WHICH COMBINED WITH STRONG
   VERTICAL SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A 85 TO 95 KT
   MID-LEVEL JET WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS AND ISOLATED
   SUPERCELLS. ALTHOUGH A FEW TORNADOES REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS ERN AND
   SRN NC...WSR-88D VWPS SHOW VEERING LOW-LEVEL WIND PROFILES
   SUGGESTING THE TORNADO THREAT MAY BE DECREASING. EVEN SO...THE
   THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AS SEVERE
   STORMS MOVE INTO THE COASTAL AREAS OVER THE NEXT 1 TO 3 HOURS.
