A watch is not anticipated. DISCUSSION...A seasonably moist air mass is in place across portions of the eastern Carolinas, where convective temperatures have been reached, resulting in scattered thunderstorms ongoing this afternoon. The KLTX VWP shows generally weak flow, which correlates with the single- and multicell modes apparent on radar. Due to the high precipitable water values (>2 in) in place across the region, water loading in downdrafts may be enough for some damaging gusts across the region. Additionally, storms may cluster with time, and this may slightly increase the threat for damaging gusts. However, this threat is still expected to be fairly sporadic, and therefore a watch is not expected at this time. ..Supinie/Guyer.. 06/26/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
