    Mesoscale Discussion 0803
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0119 PM CDT Wed Jun 20 2018

    Areas affected...Much of Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 201819Z - 202015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are developing across the Mid-Atlantic, including
    much of Virginia, and should continue through the afternoon. Strong
    wind gusts are the primary threat especially if the scattered
    convection organizes upscale into a QLCS. Though a watch is
    possible, a watch issuance will only be necessary if there is an
    increase in overall convective intensity.

    DISCUSSION...An upper-level shortwave is moving out of the Ohio
    Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic per latest water vapor imagery.
    Storms are developing along and south of a surface front draped
    across central Ohio through northern/eastern Virginia. Moderate
    buoyancy (1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE via latest mesoanalysis), ample
    moisture (mean mixing ratio 15+ g/kg per RAP forecast soundings;
    surface dewpoints in the 70s), and daytime heating will aid
    convective initiation and possibly some upscale organization through
    the afternoon. The most likely scenario for upscale organization
    would result in loosely organized multicellular clusters that would
    track east-southeast across the region. However, weak flow
    aloft/shear and weak mid-level lapse rates will limit the potential
    for a widespread severe wind threat although some isolated wet
    microbursts are possible.
