    Mesoscale Discussion 2365

    Areas affected...portions of southern Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 112015Z - 112115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A brief tornado cannot be ruled out with storms along an
    effective frontal band over the next couple of hours.

    DISCUSSION...A frontal band, characterized by veered surface winds
    and a 5-10 F dewpoint decrease, continued to advance eastward with
    the surface low, and is preceded by a wedge of 75-80 F surface
    temperatures with low 70s F dewpoints. Convection has attempted to
    become established along this boundary, but storms have not become
    overly robust. This is likely to remain the case given localized
    subsidence. However, given elongated hodographs with some low-level
    curvature (e.g. the latest FCX VAD and 20Z mesoanalysis), any storm
    that manages to mature may acquire brief rotation. In a few hours,
    this frontal band will outpace the narrow warm sector, with the sparse/localized severe threat expected to diminish thereafter.
