    Mesoscale Discussion 1797

    Areas affected...portions of the Mid Atlantic

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 042044Z - 042245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A few strong thunderstorms near the stationary front may
    pose an isolated risk for strong/damaging outflow winds this
    afternoon and evening. Expected storm coverage should be limited
    suggesting a watch is not needed.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2030 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery
    showed isolated thunderstorms developing along the eastern crest of
    the Blue Ridge Mountains in western VA and eastern WV. Aided by weak
    low-level convergence south of a stalled front and along a surface
    pressure trough, these storms are ongoing in a warm, and weak to
    moderately unstable environment. SPC mesoanalysis shows 1000-1500
    J/kg of MLCAPE has developed, which should continue to support
    updrafts as they track northeastward across portions of the Mid
    Atlantic this afternoon and evening. Observed vertical shear remains
    weak, with 20-25 kts of 0-6km shear from local VADs. This should
    result in loosely organized multicells/clusters, with the potential
    for strong outflow winds into this evening.=20

    Latest hi-res guidance and observational trends suggest the ongoing
    storms will likely continue northeastward with time into northern
    VA, MD and southern PA. Clearing ahead of the convection suggests
    potential for storms to linger into the evening. Thus, a low-end
    risk for a few damaging wind gusts may exist across portions of he
    Mid Atlantic with any stronger storms/weakly organized storm
    clusters. Uncertainty on the nature of the severe threat and limited
    storm coverage suggests a weather watch is unlikely.
