   Areas affected...central VA/NC/SC

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 18...19...

   Valid 120359Z - 120530Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 18, 19
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Sporadic strong, damaging wind gusts continue across WW 18
   and 19.

   DISCUSSION...A segmented squall line continues to track
   east/northeast into the VA/NC/SC Piedmont vicinity. Sporadic reports
   of wind damage and gusts to around 45 kt have been received over the
   last 1-2 hours as portions of the line continue to maintain
   organization. While nocturnal stabilization of the low levels may be
   inhibiting more widespread severe, temperatures and dewpoints are
   holding steady in the mid to upper 60s ahead of the line.  This is
   resulting in a few hundred J/kg MLCAPE in conjunction with intense
   vertical shear. As such, damaging winds will continue to be possible
   with eastward extent over the next few hours. Some severe threat
   could extend east of WW 18 into central/eastern VA and a downstream
   watch will be considered based on short-term trends.
