    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 141820Z - 142045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms with potential for isolated to scattered wind
    damage are expected later this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Relatively strong heating of a very moist (PW
    near/above 2 inches) environment is underway this afternoon from
    southeast PA into MD and northern/central VA. MLCAPE is already
    above 2000 J/kg across much of the region, and may increase to
    near/above 3000 J/kg in areas where preconvective heating continues
    through late afternoon.=20

    Storms have already developed across central PA, with additional
    development recently noted farther south along the Blue Ridge into northwest/west-central VA. Storm coverage will continue to increase
    with time, in response to an approaching midlevel shortwave trough
    currently over western PA.=20

    Poor midlevel lapse rates and relatively weak effective shear
    (generally 15-25 kt) will tend to limit storm organization to some
    extent. However, the strongest initial cells may be capable of
    producing localized downbursts within the very moist environment.
    With time, consolidating outflows may result in one or more
    eastward-moving clusters that would move across the Mid Atlantic
    region. Any such cluster may be capable of producing localized
    swaths of more concentrated wind damage. Watch issuance is possible,
    depending on trends regarding clustering of storms with time.
