NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0452 PM CDT Sat Jul 01 2023
Areas affected...Parts of central north carolina
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 012152Z - 012245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Wind gusts of 40-50 kts will be possible with a compact
bowing segment in central North Carolina. This activity may persist
another 1-2 hours.
DISCUSSION...A small bowing segment has developed east of Greensboro
this afternoon. KRAX radar velocity data showed an area of 50 kt
winds within the apex of bow. Earlier this afternoon, near
Burlington, a 40 kt gust was observed along with reported tree
damage. Given the organization of the bow, it may persist another
hour or two despite weak shear and a less favorable downstream
airmass. Local winds gusts of 40-50 kts would be possible.
