   Mesoscale Discussion 0332
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1001 PM CDT Wed Mar 23 2022

   Areas affected...western NC into parts of VA

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 69...

   Valid 240301Z - 240400Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 69 continues.

   SUMMARY...A tornado and/or isolated strong wind gusts remain
   possible for another hour or so across Tornado Watch 69.

   DISCUSSION...A couple of supercells continue to track northeast
   within a modestly unstable, strongly sheared environment across
   western NC this evening. Regional VWP data indicates 0-1 km SRH
   around 250 m2/s2 with enlarged low-level hodographs, suggesting
   rotation may continue in the short term. However, more favorable
   low-level shear is expected to diminish/lift northeast over the next
   1-2 hours. Additionally, recent lightning trends have decreased
   across the region and other convection in the area has weakened,
   indicating modest ascent is in fact starting to shift away from the
   region. The overall expectation is that storms will gradually weaken
   over the next hour and the severe threat should diminish by around
   04z. A new watch/local extensions are not currently expected.
