Environment

Abundant clouds prevented significant CAPE from developing ahead of the front. When combined with 850mb flow of 40kt-50kt, we were in a strong high shear/low CAPE environment. Primary threat was for flood potential with high moisture content in the atmosphere trumping dry antecedent conditions.

Figure 1. Surface based CAPE at 20z/4pm EDT	Figure 2: 850 MB Analysis at 8pm EDT Oct 23rd showing strong low-level winds into NC/VA.	Figure 3: High Precipitable Water Values at 4pm EDT Oct 23rd.
