   Mesoscale Discussion 0669
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0249 PM CDT Fri May 22 2020

   Areas affected...North and South Carolina

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 202...

   Valid 221949Z - 222115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 202
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for severe storms with damaging wind, hail and
   a brief tornado will persist this afternoon and early evening
   through the central Carolinas. Storms will approach the eastern
   bound of ww 202 by 21Z, and another WW will likely be needed farther
   east into the central and eastern Carolinas by 2030Z.

   DISCUSSION...Line of strong to severe storms with embedded bowing
   segments extends from southwestern NC through western SC moving east
   at 35-40 kt. VWP from Greenville-Spartanburg shows a 50 kt westerly
   rear inflow jet through the 2-3 km layer in post outflow region that
   appears to be associated with an MCV along northern end of the line.
   This suggests deep forcing will continue to drive the squall line
   farther east through the destabilizing boundary layer where MLCAPE
   ranges from 500-1500 J/kg. Damaging wind, hail and a brief tornado
   will remain possible next several hours as activity continues east.
