   Mesoscale Discussion 0321
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1150 PM CDT Wed Apr 08 2020

   Areas affected...West Virginia into western Virginia

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 090450Z - 090645Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...A line of severe storms may still be severe as it
   approaches the eastern parts of Tornado Watch 93.

   DISCUSSION...A strongly forced line of storms with history of
   damaging winds continues rapidly eastward at over 50 kt. VWPs ahead
   of the line indicate modest southwesterly winds just off the
   surface, which is helping to increase moisture and instability
   values to the east, and despite relatively cooler surface
   temperatures. Despite marginal instability, the high level of
   organization suggests some chance of continued severe wind threat as
   the line approaches eastern WV and possibly across the VA border.
   Trends will continue to be monitored, and another watch may need to
   be considered.
