    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 497...

    Valid 092043Z - 092245Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 497
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Convective trends are being monitored for the need for
    downstream watch issuance across parts of Maryland, Delaware,
    Pennsylvania, and New Jersey as storms spread east through early
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar mosaics continue to show a slow, but
    steady, increase in convective coverage across southern PA and parts
    of northern MD as lift associated with a mid-level impulse continues
    to migrate east and overspreads a moderately buoyant air mass.
    Regional VWPs continue to sample 30-40 knot mid-level flow
    associated with the upper feature, but the nebulous forcing for
    ascent and modest mid-level lapse rates appear to be modulating
    convective intensity and longevity of more discrete cells across
    PA/MD. While the convective parameter space is supportive of
    organized/severe convection, it remains unclear how intense
    convection will become over the next few hours.=20

    Further south into eastern MD and DE, confidence is higher in a
    severe wind threat later this evening. A squall line is slowly
    organizing across central VA and is expected to continue
    intensifying over the next few hours (see recently issued MCD #1619
    for additional details). Recent surface observations and MLCAPE
    analyses show a plume of rich low-level moisture/buoyancy extending
    into southern DE/southeast MD, which should maintain the convective
    line as it spreads east into the evening hours. Slow storm motions
    cast some uncertainty on exactly when a downstream watch will be
    needed, but recent high-res guidance suggest a damaging wind threat
    will begin to materialize between 23-01 UTC.
