THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 150 CONTINUES.

500-1000 J/KG MLCAPE FROM COASTAL SC...ERN NC INTO SERN VA. STORMS
ARE MOVING WITH AN EWD COMPONENT OF 30 KT WHICH SUGGEST THEY WILL
NOT CLEAR THE NC OUTER BANKS UNTIL AROUND 02-03Z. GIVEN THE DISCRETE
STORM MODE...VERY LARGE HODOGRAPHS WITH 0-1 KM SRH FROM 500-700
M2/S2...AND MODEST BUT SUFFICIENT SBCAPE...THREAT FOR STRONG
TORNADOES WILL PERSIST NEXT FEW HOURS OR UNTIL ACTIVITY CLEARS THE
COAST. BACK EDGE OF SEVERE THREAT AND REDEVELOPMENT APPEARS TO BE
