AREAS AFFECTED...WEST VIRGINIA...VIRGINIA...MARYLAND
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 321...
VALID 122048Z - 122245Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 321
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...STORMS PRODUCING LOCALLY DAMAGING GUSTS MAY INCREASE IN
COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WITH CONTINUED WIND POTENTIAL
OVER MUCH OF VIRGINIA AND PARTS OF MARYLAND.
DISCUSSION...TWO PRIMARY AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS
AFTERNOON. ONE IS OVER NORTHERN VA WITHIN THE SURFACE TROUGH, AND
ANOTHER EXTENDS FROM SOUTHEAST WV INTO NORTHEAST TN RELATED TO THE
RESIDUAL PRE-FRONTAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.
SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY HAVE DEVELOPED INTO THE REGION
WITH DAYTIME HEATING. NOT ONLY ARE LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEP, BUT
GPS PWAT SENSORS OVER NORTHERN VA HAVE SHOWN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
MOISTURE AS WELL. THE RLX 18Z SOUNDING AS WELL AS LWX AND RLX VWPS
SHOW MEAN MIDLEVEL WESTERLIES OF 20-30 KT, WHICH SUPPORTS
SOUTHEASTWARD-MOVING CLUSTERS OF STORMS. THE WARM AND UNCAPPED AIR
MASS ALONG WITH AMPLE PWAT AND FAVORABLE SURFACE LAPSE RATES WILL
SUPPORT CORRIDORS OF STRONG TO SEVERE GUSTS THROUGH EARLY EVENING.
