Areas affected...Central to northern Virginia and central Maryland
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20
Valid 171821Z - 172015Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing off the Blue Ridge mountains will
meander into central and northern Virginia, and perhaps central
Maryland, through the afternoon. Sporadic damaging winds and large
hail are possible, but a watch is not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...Latest regional reflectivity mosaics show convection
developing along the Blue Ridge Mountains in western VA over the
past 30-60 minutes. GOES IR imagery confirms that this is the onset
of robust deep convection with rapid cloud top cooling noted. ACARs
soundings from the downstream environment show that temperatures
have sufficiently warm to negate any prior inhibition, with
mixed-layer CAPE profiles extending upwards of 10-12 km. While
deep-layer flow is fairly weak, 30-35 knot winds were sampled above
7 km, which should allow for sufficient storm-top ventilation to
support modest storm organization. This factor, combined with
somewhat steep low-level lapse rates (near 7-8 C/km) should foster a
damaging wind potential, and perhaps a few instances of large hail,
as storms migrate east/northeast through the afternoon. Storm
longevity and coverage are both uncertain, and a watch is current
not anticipated. However, the influence of an MCV over the upper OH
River Valley may provide sufficient lift to maintain at least some
threat into the early evening.
