Areas affected...Northern Virginia...Washington DC...parts of
central Maryland

Concerning...Tornado Watch 350...

Valid 302240Z - 310045Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 350 continues.

SUMMARY...A local corridor of greater tornado threat is evident in
the DC/Baltimore region over the next 1-3 hours.

DISCUSSION...A narrow zone of favorably backed surface winds, south
of a warm front near the PA/MD border, will be the most favorable
corridor for tornadoes over the next 1-3 hours. Local VAD data from
KLWX and nearby TDWRs show sufficient SRH for low-level mesocyclone development. A bookend vortex within a linear segment in northern
Virginia will continue north-northeast into this favorable zone.
Farther east, additional discrete storms will also have some
potential to produce a tornado. The primary limiting factors will be
modest buoyancy, weak mid-level lapse rates, and limited remaining
time for surface heating.
