    Mesoscale Discussion 1504
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0240 PM CDT Wed Sep 26 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-Atlantic

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 261940Z - 262215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are beginning to develop and should continue
    through the afternoon/evening ahead of an approaching cold front.
    Strong winds gusts are possible.

    DISCUSSION...A warm, moist environment is in place across much of
    the Mid-Atlantic ahead of an approaching cold front that stretches south-southwest from western New York through western
    Pennsylvania/West Virginia. A smaller vorticity maximum is helping
    to provide ascent over the the region with thunderstorms now
    developing along the eastern edge of the Appalachians in Virginia
    and North Carolina. With less cloud cover over most of the
    discussion area compared to farther north/west, temperatures have
    warmed into the 80s with dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s.
    There is enough instability to support thunderstorm development
    (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg), and shear (effective bulk shear of 35-45
    knots) is better across the northern half of the discussion area
    (southern PA, northern MD/VA), which could produce a few rotating
    storms within a broken line of storms this afternoon/evening. A
    watch is unlikely given the overall marginal storm environment and
    isolated severe risk, but southern PA/vicinity could be included in
    a watch depending on storm evolution.
