Areas affected...Southern NC and northern SC

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207...

Valid 081958Z - 082130Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207
continues.

SUMMARY...A swath of large hail from 1-1.75 inches in diameter and
damaging winds of 55-70 mph will remain likely as organized clusters
across western parts of North Carolina and South Carolina progress
east into this evening.

DISCUSSION...An organized, outflow-dominated cluster is currently
approaching Charlotte, while a separate supercell exists south of
Spartanburg. Low-level shear/SRH remains quite weak in area VWP
data, suggesting that this outflow-dominated evolution will persist
downstream across the rest of the Piedmont towards the coastal
plain. With surface temperatures peaking in the upper 80s to low
90s, MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg has become common. With enhanced
westerly mid/upper flow over the southern Appalachians, a continued
severe hail/wind threat is expected straddling the Carolina border
area for the next several hours.
