    Concerning...Tornado Watch 375...

    Valid 151015Z - 151145Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 375 continues.

    SUMMARY...Transient rotation has been noted within several cells
    during the past few hours. Tornado potential will extend pass the
    expiration of Tornado Watch 375 and another watch will likely be
    needed.

    DISCUSSION...Recent KRAX radar imagery depicted a near 30 kt
    rotational velocity within a cell moving through Wayne County. Radar
    data from KMHX has also sampled transient rotation within the rain
    band extending offshore. The band has shown consistent development
    of a line echo wave patterns as more intense portions of the band
    approach the coast. Thermodynamic environment across much of the
    region has remain relatively unchanged during the past several
    hours, although there are now some indications (i.e. location of the
    76 deg F isodrosotherm) that higher theta-e air has pushed a bit
    further inland. Even so, the most unstable air remains over the
    water and the immediate coastal areas.

    Given the very slow motion of the system, the trends observed during
    the past few hours are expected to persist into the morning. There
    is some potential for greater instability to develop within any
    cloud breaks after sunrise. However, the expansive cloud shield
    associated with Florence suggests this possibility is uncertain.
    Nevertheless, the potential for brief tornadoes is expected to
    continue past the expiration time of Tornado Watch 375 and another
    Tornado Watch will likely be needed.
