    Mesoscale Discussion 1395
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1234 PM CDT Thu Aug 30 2018

    Areas affected...portions of WV and VA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 301734Z - 301900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong wind gusts are possible through the afternoon
    hours across parts of WV and western/central VA. The threat will
    remain isolated and unorganized, precluding watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms have developed over the higher
    terrain of WV and western VA early this afternoon. Convection should
    continue to develop eastward across portions of western and central
    VA where a very moist and strongly unstable airmass is present to
    the south of a surface front. Widespread towering CU was noted in
    current visible satellite imagery, indicating this favorable
    environment. While instability is high, deep layer shear and
    midlevel lapse rates are poor. This generally will result in
    pulse-type convective cells and clusters. PW values greater than 1.5
    inches and low level lapse rates between 7.5-8.5 C/km (as noted in
    17z mesoanalysis) will aid in sporadic strong downburst winds. Given
    a lack of more organized convection and the transient/short-lived
    nature of the threat from any given cell, a watch is not expected,
    though a damaging gust or two is possible through the afternoon
    hours.
