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.
