    Areas affected...Portions of southern MO...northern
    AR...western/middle TN...and western KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 062000Z - 062230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong/gusty winds and some hail will be possible
    with thunderstorms through the early evening. Watch issuance is not
    expected.

    DISCUSSION...Lift associated with a compact northwesterly
    upper-level jet and related weak mid-level shortwave trough over the
    Ozarks has encouraged convection to develop along the MO/AR border
    and into western KY as of 20Z. Strong diurnal heating ahead of this
    activity has steepened low-level lapse rates, with RAP forecast
    soundings indicating a very well-mixed boundary layer likely exists
    up to around 750-700 mb. Downdrafts should be enhanced by this
    well-mixed low-level environment, and MLCAPE up to 500 J/kg will
    likely support thunderstorms through the early evening. Recent VWP
    from the KSGF radar shows a veering and modestly strengthening wind
    profile in the 1-6 km layer, with around 30-35 kt of resultant
    effective bulk shear supporting at least some potential for updraft organization, mainly across southern MO into northern AR. Multicell
    clusters should be the predominant storm mode, and they will pose an
    isolated strong/gusty wind and perhaps marginally severe hail
    threat. Mid-level flow weakens with eastward extent into
    western/middle TN and western KY per RAP Mesoanalysis, which
    suggests any severe threat across this region will likely remain
    quite marginal/isolated.

    Areas affected...Eastern Virginia and extreme southeast Maryland

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 73...

    Valid 150630Z - 150730Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 73 continues.

    SUMMARY...An increased severe weather threat is expected for the
    next 1 to 2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...A line of supercells has developed in a low-level
    confluence band across eastern Virginia. Storm-scale low-level
    convergence has showed significant strengthening between 06Z and
    0615Z from the AKQ WSR-88D. In addition, the AKQ VWP shows wind
    speeds in excess of 70 knots at 1 km. While flow is mostly
    unidirectional in the lowest 3 km, this extreme low-level speed
    shear may be sufficient for low-level mesocyclone organization and
    brief tornadic development. The maximum tornadic threat will likely
    be during the next 1 to 2 hours before storms grow upscale and the
    threat transitions more toward wind damage.

    In addition, an area of higher dewpoints and warmer surface
    temperatures have advected into the southern Delmarva Peninsula
    suggesting that these supercells will likely persist into this
    region around 08Z.
