    Areas affected...portions of southwest Virginia into extreme
    northwest North Carolina and far southeast West Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 221639Z - 221845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging gusts may accompany the stronger storms through
    the mid afternoon hours. However, the severe threat is expected to
    remain isolated and a WW issuance is not expected.

    DISCUSSION...While deep-layer ascent associated with a mid-level
    trough is expected to remain north of the central Appalachians, an
    approaching MCV along the OH/WV border is locally enhancing ascent
    in tandem with orographic lifting along the higher terrain. MRMS
    mosaic radar imagery depicts an increase in convection across
    central WV/extreme western VA, and these storms are gradually
    approaching a destabilizing airmass. Surface temperatures are
    already rising through the lower 80s F and are expected reach the
    upper 80s F by mid afternoon. Modifying the 12Z RNK observed
    sounding to current surface temperatures/dewpoints (84/66 F)
    suggests that 1500+ J/kg MLCAPE and 8.5 C/km 0-3km lapse rates are
    already in place. Given the presence of a well-mixed boundary layer, characterized by over 100 J/kg 0-3km CAPE and around 1000 J/kg
    DCAPE, at least a couple of damaging gusts from wet downbursts
    should accompany the stronger pulse cellular storms despite weak
    ambient vertical shear. Still, damaging gusts are expected to remain
    isolated enough such that a WW issuance is not currently expected.

    Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico...West Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238...

    Valid 260706Z - 260900Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 238
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and wind damage will be possible over
    the next few hours from eastern New Mexico into west Texas. A small
    severe thunderstorm watch may be needed, depending upon convective
    trends over the next hour.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from Lubbock shows an MCS from
    northeast New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle. Severe storms are
    ongoing along the southwestern edge of the MCS, where the RAP has
    MLCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. Additional storms have
    recently initiated further south, in the area southwest of Clovis.
    These storms are likely developing in response to warm advection
    associated with the strengthening low-level jet. In addition to the instability, moderate deep-layer shear is present across much of the
    southern Plains. The Lubbock WSR-88D VWP has 45 to 50 kt of 0-6 km
    shear, which will support continued severe storm development. Wind
    damage and isolated large hail will be the primary threats. The
    duration of the severe threat remains uncertain. Convective trends
    will be watched over the next hour to determine whether an
    additional watch will be needed.
