...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST PA
TO NORTHEAST VA...
...SUMMARY...
Locally damaging winds and an isolated tornado remain possible from
northern Virginia to southeast Pennsylvania through 10 PM EDT.
...VA to Southeast PA...
Remnant MCV that originated over the lower MS Valley Tuesday evening
has tracked along the OH River and is currently over southeastern
PA, just northeast of CKY. Convection has recently become a bit more
organized south of this feature extending across northeast MD. The
progressive nature of the MCV, and the forward speed of the squall
line, suggest the greatest severe threat will spread across
southeast PA/northeast MD/northern DE into southern NJ over the next
few hours. This activity should weaken thereafter as it encounters
less buoyant air mass near the coast.
...Mid South...
Southern-most branch of stronger mid-level flow continues along a
corridor from northeast TX-AR-TN Valley. Radar and satellite imagery
suggest a secondary disturbance over AR is embedded within this
flow. Locally strong-severe thunderstorms may continue ahead of this
feature, especially given the southwesterly LLJ that should be
maintained across TN/KY through sunrise.
...North Dakota...
Surface front is surging southeast across eastern MT/ND this
evening. Weak convection has developed along this boundary where
steep low-level lapse rates remain conducive for the transport of
stronger flow aloft within more focused downdrafts. 00z sounding
from BIS supports this with near dry adiabatic lapse rates through
4km. Loss of daytime heating should lessen this risk over the next
few hours.
