Areas affected...Parts of eastern VA and MD
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20
Valid 101701Z - 102030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will spread eastward across the
Mid-Atlantic region through the afternoon. Strong to marginally
severe gusts will be possible with the stronger storms. A watch is
not expected.
DISCUSSION...Isolated convective development is underway along the
higher terrain in western VA this afternoon, primarily driven by
diurnal heating/mixing of a moist boundary layer amid minimal
convective inhibition. Ahead of this activity, visible satellite
imagery shows mostly clear skies and efficient diurnal heating along
and south of a quasi-stationary surface front draped from southern
NJ westward along the MD/PA border. While midlevel lapse rates are
poor across the warm sector, lower/middle 90s surface temperatures
amid lower/middle 70s dewpoints are contributing to a strongly
unstable airmass.=20
Generally weak deep-layer flow/shear will limit overall convective
organization as it spreads eastward through the afternoon, though
15-20 kt west-southwesterly flow in the 2-4-km layer and deep
tropospheric moisture (1.9-2.0 PW per GOES-16 derived PW) should
support water-loaded downdrafts with strong to marginally severe
gusts of 40-60 mph in the strongest cores. This will especially be
the case where any localized clustering of storms occur. Given the
weak large-scale ascent and limited vertical wind shear/anticipated
convective organization, a watch is not expected.
