Areas affected...Eastern NC...Far Southeastern VA

Concerning...Tornado Watch 637...

Valid 060031Z - 060230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 637 continues.

SUMMARY...Threat for brief tornadoes continues across eastern NC and
far southeastern VA.

DISCUSSION...Based on recent radar imagery, the center of Hurricane
Dorian appears to be about 60 miles south of Wilmington, NC. Two
well-defined rain bands exist, one about 125 miles from the center
and the other about 160 miles. The southern band currently extends
from Craven County NC southeastward offshore while the northern band
extends from Martin County NC southeastward offshore. Lightning and
a few transient circulations have been noted within the northern
band. As of 0025Z, only a few lightning strikes have been noted
within the southern band. Both of these bands are expected to
gradually move northward over the next several hours. Any tornado
potential over the next two hours will likely occur within these
bands as cells sporadically deepen.
