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.
