    Mesoscale Discussion 0340
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0503 PM CDT Thu May 03 2018

    Areas affected...Parts of southern and eastern PA/central and
    southern NJ/southeast NY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 032203Z - 040030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Locally strong wind gusts should be generally sub-severe,
    though one or two gusts could approach 50 kt, across parts of
    southern and eastern Pennsylvania into western New Jersey to
    southeast New York. Coverage of stronger storms is expected to
    remain quite low, precluding the need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...A couple clusters of convection with embedded
    thunderstorms have been observed across east-central PA and a second
    area approaching central PA. Thus far, the strongest gust of 47 kt
    occurred at KIPT at 1950Z. Forcing for ascent attendant to a
    midlevel impulse tracking east across PA at this time and within the
    entrance region of a 50-60-kt westerly 500-mb jet over northern New
    England is likely aiding in the ongoing convective development that
    has spread across the higher terrain in PA. Weak instability
    especially with eastward extent toward the Atlantic coast should
    continue to limit the coverage of thunderstorms. Strong surface
    heating (temperatures up to 90 F) in the lower elevations from
    southeast PA into NJ and southeast NY are resulting in steep 0-3 km
    lapse rates up to 8.5 C/km and DCAPE exceeding 1000 J/kg. Although
    weaker instability will limit storm coverage, the aforementioned
    favorable low-level thermodynamics suggest a stronger wind gust or
    two could occur from southeast PA into western NJ to southeast NY
    until the storms weaken this evening or move offshore.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0340
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1048 AM CDT Sun Apr 14 2019

    Areas affected...Piedmont of northeast Georgia...Carolina into
    Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 141548Z - 141745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered thunderstorm development is underway
    along and to the lee of the southern Appalachians. Trends are being
    monitored. However, while one or more tornado watches may be
    needed, current expectations are that this will be most probable in
    the 1-3 PM EDT (perhaps later) time frame.

    DISCUSSION...With the eastward progression of a significant
    large-scale trough, now over the Mississippi Valley, and a deepening
    surface cyclone migrating northeastward through the lower Ohio
    Valley, the large-scale environment appears in the process of
    becoming increasingly conducive to severe storm development to the
    lee of the southern Appalachians. The boundary layer has become
    seasonably moist with surface dew points generally in the upper 60s.
    However, mid-level lapse rates are fairly modest, and areas of
    mostly stratiform precipitation as well as mid/high cloudiness are
    at least slowing insolation. Mixed-layer CAPE is still somewhat
    modest (less than 1000 J/kg), though deep layer and low-level shear
    are already fairly strong, and strengthening.

    Most model output generally appears to suggest that the most
    substantive severe weather potential may not commence until sometime
    later this afternoon, gradually spreading northeastward across the
    piedmont, from northeast Georgia through North Carolina. This is
    expected to accompany the onset of stronger surface pressure falls
    and peak boundary layer destabilization, when probabilities for
    supercells with the risk for tornadoes and damaging wind gusts are
    expected to maximize.
