    Mesoscale Discussion 0869
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1120 AM CDT Sun May 22 2022

    Areas affected...Portions of northern/central VA into the eastern WV Panhandle...MD...PA...NY...NJ...DC...and a small part of New England

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20

    Valid 221620Z - 221845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds and hail should increase as thunderstorms develop by early this afternoon. Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch issuance is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Partly to mostly clear skies ahead of a front will
    allow the airmass to quickly destabilize into early this afternoon
    across parts of VA/MD/PA/NY and vicinity. A rather moist low-level
    airmass is in place across this region, with generally 60s to low
    70s surface dewpoints. Fairly cool mid-level temperatures are also
    present, which coupled with continued diurnal heating will likely
    support MLCAPE reaching 1000-2000 J/kg by late afternoon. Locally
    greater instability is possible across PA, MD, and VA where better
    low-level moisture is present. The stronger mid-level flow
    associated with an upper trough over the Great Lakes and eastern
    Canada should remain displaced mostly to the west of the surface
    warm sector. Still, around 25-35 kt of southwesterly winds at 500 mb
    (weaker with southward extent into the Mid-Atlantic) should foster
    similar values of effective bulk shear and some updraft
    organization. Mainly multicell clusters are expected to develop
    early this afternoon, initially over the higher terrain of
    VA/MD/PA/NY. As this activity strengthens and spreads eastward, it
    should be capable of producing scattered damaging wind gusts and
    perhaps isolated hail. Most guidance suggests that initial
    thunderstorm development will occur by 17-18Z (1-2 PM EDT). A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be issued around that time frame to
    address the increasing threat through the rest of the afternoon.

    Areas affected...Northeast NM into the western TX/OK Panhandles

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238...

    Valid 260202Z - 260330Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and localized severe gusts
    continues. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...At 02 UTC, a long-lived thunderstorm cluster is moving southeastward across far northeast NM and the western OK Panhandle,
    with supercells ongoing near/north of Tucumcari, and another
    supercell moving into western Harding County, NM. Favorably steep
    midlevel lapse rates (as noted on the 00Z ABQ and AMA soundings) and
    MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg (locally greater) will support vigorous
    convection into late evening. Veering wind profiles with 35-45 kt of
    effective shear will continue to support organized storms.=20

    Evolution of convection into late evening remains somewhat
    uncertain. In the short term, the ongoing slow-moving supercells
    will likely pose the primary severe hazard. Recent VWPs from KAMA
    indicate that the forecast increase in low-level southeasterly flow
    is underway, with a modest strengthening of low-level shear
    potentially supporting a brief tornado threat with any persistent
    supercell. Otherwise, large hail and localized severe gusts will
    remain possible. With time, cell mergers into the ongoing storm
    cluster approaching the northwest TX Panhandle may support somewhat
    organized upscale growth, with an attendant increase in severe-gust
    potential later tonight.=20

    Some severe threat may spread southeastward out of WW 238 later
    tonight, and downstream watch issuance is possible depending on
    short-term observational trends.
