Mesoscale Discussion 0538
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1229 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018
Areas affected...Portions of central/northern
Virginia...central/southern Maryland...and Eastern West Virginia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 271729Z - 272000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage this afternoon
with locally severe hail and damaging wind gusts possible. A WW
issuance is unlikely.
DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite and radar imagery from 1730Z
shows thunderstorms developing over the higher terrain of the
Appalachians/Blue Ridge Mountains as well as along a backdoor cold
front across northern/northeastern Maryland. Ample insolation
through the morning and early afternoon coupled with a moist
boundary layer (e.g., surface dew points in the 70s) has allowed
MLCAPE values to climb to around 1500-2000 J/kg. While mid-level
flow is relatively modest (e.g., 30 knots at 500 mb), the presence
of a nearby weak mid-level trough will foster effective bulk shear
values of 20-35 knots (greatest over Maryland). While CAM guidance
suggests messy storm modes, CAPE/Shear parameter space will support
at least transient storm organization with the potential for locally
severe hail and damaging wind gusts in the strongest storms.
However, these threats are currently expected to remain too isolated
for a WW issuance.
