    Mesoscale Discussion 1141
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0157 AM CDT Mon Jul 23 2018

    Areas affected...Southern and eastern VA...southern MD...and the
    Delmarva Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 230657Z - 230930Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A marginal severe-weather threat exists during the
    remaining part of the overnight into the early morning, spreading
    from southern through eastern Virginia, southern Maryland and part
    of the Delmarva Peninsula. Isolated strong and damaging wind gusts
    producing primarily tree damage should be the greatest impact, while
    downburst wind speeds are expected to be mainly sub-severe.

    DISCUSSION...At 0650Z, mosaic radar imagery and lightning data
    showed clusters of storms tracking north across central and eastern
    NC to the extreme southeast VA coast. Despite weak deep-layer lapse
    rates, the presence of high moisture-content air (surface mixing
    ratios exceeding 15-17 g/kg and precipitable water 1.7-2 inches) is contributing to a moderately unstable environment. Meanwhile,
    water-vapor imagery indicated a compact midlevel circulation
    centered across western NC, while area VWP data showed stronger
    southerly midlevel winds across eastern NC into central/eastern VA.
    Forcing for ascent within the eastern periphery of the western NC
    circulation and a northward-moving embedded lobe of vorticity will
    continue to support thunderstorm development into the early morning
    across southern into central VA and parts of MD and the Delmarva.
    Although sufficient shear and moderate instability will allow for
    organized storms, the presence of aforementioned weak lapse rates
    will inhibit sustained updrafts and should preclude severe wind
    gusts reaching the surface.
