1136 AM CDT Thu May 10 2018
Areas affected...much of Virginia...Maryland and northern North
Carolina
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 101636Z - 101830Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage and
intensity this afternoon with initial storms over the central
Appalachians then spreading into the Middle Atlantic including VA,
MD and northern NC. Isolated damaging wind gusts should be the
primary threat.
DISCUSSION...Early this afternoon a few thunderstorms are developing
along the central through southern Appalachians forced by heating
over the higher terrain. Strong diabatic warming within the the
downstream warm sector with weakening convective inhibition and
dewpoints from the upper 50s to near 60 F should support 800-1200
J/kg MLCAPE. Steepening 0-3 km lapse rates with inverted-V boundary
layer characteristics, along with 30-40 kt southwesterly flow
between 1-4 km will support locally strong downdrafts as storms
develop east off the higher terrain. Weak vertical shear (around 30
kt between 0-6 km) will promote multicell storm modes with locally
strong to damaging wind gusts as storms evolve into short lines
segments and clusters this afternoon and early evening.
