Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 021928Z - 022130Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Current multicellular clusters, along with anticipated
downstream development, pose an isolated damaging wind threat
through the mid-late afternoon hours. The isolated extent of the
severe threat precludes a WW issuance at this time.
DISCUSSION...Convective development (including multicellular
clusters), is underway across the easternmost fringes of the higher
terrain associated with the Appalachians, along the nose of a
surface thermal ridge. Aloft, large scale mid-level ridging is in
place, suggesting that convective development has mainly been
supported by vigorous boundary layer mixing (with up to 8.5 C/km
sfc-3km AGL lapse rates present as suggested by 19Z RAP forecast
soundings), and orographic lift.
Adequate buoyancy (i.e. 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) and effective bulk
shear (30-40 knots of mainly speed shear in the 850-700 mb layer) is
in place. Nonetheless, the lack of stronger synoptic deep-layer
ascent, directional deep-layer shear, and negligible low-level
shear, all suggest that storms should be organized for only brief
periods of time, long enough to perhaps support water loaded
downdrafts capably of producing damaging wind gusts. Given the
brevity and isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is
not anticipated at this time.
