    Mesoscale Discussion 1043

    Areas affected...Parts of eastern WV...western/central VA...and
    northern NC

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 301706Z - 301900Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe risk will increase with eastward extent through
    mid/late afternoon. Damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes will be
    possible. A watch is likely for parts of the area, especially across
    Virginia into North Carolina.

    DISCUSSION...A mix of semi-discrete, marginal supercell structures
    and line segments are advancing eastward across far southwestern WV
    and far southwestern VA -- ahead of a surface low and cold front. In
    the near-term, this activity is in an environment characterized by
    weak buoyancy and strong/favorable low-level shear/SRH. As a result,
    these storms will pose some tornado risk, though the limited
    buoyancy casts uncertainty on the overall risk. Farther east,
    continued diurnal heating of upper 50s/lower 60s dewpoints will
    contribute to stronger buoyancy along/south of a quasi-warm front
    extending from the surface low eastward to the Mid-Atlantic. While
    low-level SRH may not be quite as high with eastward extent,=20 clockwise-curved hodographs and sufficient instability ahead of the
    surface low will support damaging winds and a few tornadoes -- given
    an expected cellular mode. A watch is likely for parts of the area,
    with less confidence in the overall risk with westward extent.
