Areas affected...eastern Kentucky...eastern Tennessee...western
North Carolina...western Virginia...West Virginia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 031658Z - 031900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Bands of convection are expected to develop across the MD
area this afternoon, with an attendant risk of damaging wind gusts
and marginally severe hail. A WW issuance may be needed pending
convective trends.
DISCUSSION...Recent satellite/radar mosaic imagery indicates a
continued increase in convection along an axis from near HTS south-southwestward to near MRX and north of ATL, with deepening
cumulus along central Appalachians areas and also in central
Kentucky. These trends are supported by insolation/surface warming
and ascent/cooling aloft associated with a mid-level wave
approaching the region from the west. The airmass just east of the
convective axis has now become moderately unstable (1500-2250 J/kg
MUCAPE), and although low-level wind fields are modest, strong
mid-level flow was contributing to 35-45 kt effective shear,
supportive of updraft organization.
With time, some upscale growth into linear convective segments is
expected within portions of the aforementioned convective axis,
which may support occasional severe wind gusts. This potential
appears to be most probable across portions of West Virginia ahead
of the mid-level wave. Isolated instances of hail cannot completely
be ruled out, though modest mid-level lapse rates should mitigate
the extent of this threat. Although not currently anticipated, a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch may eventually be considered for portions
of this region - especially if focused corridors of damaging-wind
potential become apparent.
