Areas affected...Parts of southwest/south-central Virginia and
west-central North Carolina
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 226...
Valid 162305Z - 170100Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 226
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe threat may increase over parts of
southwest/south-central Virginia into west-central North Carolina
during the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar data shows a cluster of organized
storms tracking east-southeastward along/south of a west-southwest/east-northeast-oriented warm front draped through
western VA. Given around 40 kt of unidirectional 0-6 km shear
oriented parallel to the boundary and oblique to the convective line
(per VWP data), a linear mode and damaging-wind risk should persist
with east-southeastward extent. Farther east into west-central NC
and southwest/south-central VA, weaker large-scale ascent away from
the synoptic boundary is supporting a discrete/semi-discrete mode,
and 40-50 kt of deep-layer shear amid a warm/moist boundary-layer is
yielding transient supercell structures capable of large hail and
locally damaging winds.=20
During the next few hours, a strengthening southwesterly low-level
jet should overspread the area, with a corresponding increase in
hodograph size/curvature. While nocturnal boundary-layer stability
will be increasing during this time, the increasingly favorable wind
profile and moist boundary layer could compensate for this --
supporting a slight uptick in storm intensity. Large hail and
damaging winds will be the main concerns given the expected mode,
though a brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out with the more
organized storms given increasing boundary-layer streamwise
vorticity.
