Areas affected...South-central Pennsylvania...central Maryland...northern/central Virginia

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 101652Z - 101845Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Widely scattered to scattered storms will pose a threat of
mainly damaging winds and a tornado or two. A severe thunderstorm
watch is likely for parts of Virginia into south-central
Pennsylvania.

DISCUSSION...A very moist airmass is in place across the
Mid-Atlantic. Dewpoints are in generally in the low/mid 70s F.
Morning observed soundings from the region suggest even limited
heating would lead to surface-based destabilization. Current surface observations already show temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s F
which should be sufficient. Visible satellite shows a few updrafts
beginning to deepen within the Blue Ridge. Modest mid-level ascent
will occur this afternoon, particularly for northern Virginia into south-central Pennsylvania. Coupled with the approach of a cold
front from the west, widely scattered to scattered storms are
expected. The greatest potential for supercells will be in
south-central Pennsylvania into central Maryland/northern Virginia
where effective shear will be 35-40 kts. Farther south, multicells
will be the predominant mode. Damaging wind gusts will be the
primary hazard this afternoon. A low-end tornado threat will also be
present for northern Virginia into south-central Pennsylvania, where
low-level shear will be slightly greater nearer to the surface low.
This is also supported by KCCX/KLWX VAD data. A severe thunderstorm
watch is likely for parts of the Mid-Atlantic, though uncertainty is
greater with southern extent.
