    Mesoscale Discussion 1555
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0105 PM CDT Thu Jul 09 2026

    Areas affected...Parts of central central/northern Virginia into
    southern Maryland

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 091805Z - 092000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts are possible as convection continues
    to intensify and move eastward this afternoon. A watch is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Convection along a stationary boundary has shown modest intensification over the last hour near the MD/PA border. Additional
    convection is developing along the Blue Ridge. Sufficiently strong
    westerly winds across the Ridge will eventually move convection to
    the east. Furthermore, around 30 kt of effective shear will be
    present allowing for stronger storm cells and linear structures.
    Low-level lapse rates will continue to steepen this afternoon,
    though cloud cover has been greater in the vicinity of the
    Chesapeake Bay. Given the potential for one or more clusters to
    evolve this afternoon, a watch is likely to address the threat for
    damaging wind gusts.
