...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA INTO THE DELMARVA...
...SUMMARY...
A couple strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across the Mid
Atlantic by early morning, towards the end of the period.
...Synopsis...
A strong mid-level cyclone will continue to deepen while progressing
eastward across the Upper Mississippi Valley through 12Z (the end of
the forecast period). While the associated mid/upper level longwave
trough deepens, a belt of 60-90 kt 500 mb flow will pivot around the
trough and overspread a 50-70 kt southerly 850 mb jet centered over
the Hudson Valley in the 07-12Z period. At the surface, strong
convergence along a lee-trough axis/cold front will promote the
development and organization of low-topped convection capable of
producing strong wind gusts.
...Mid Atlantic...
As the surface cold front crosses the Appalachians and approaches
the lee trough, low-level convergence is expected to increase as the
50-70 kt low-level jet materializes and modest theta-e advection
ensues. The 00Z GSO and WAL observed soundings depict upper 50s F
surface dewpoints, but overall shallow moisture in the surface-850
mb layer. As such, buoyancy is expected to remain quite marginal
when warm-air advection occurs, with MLCAPE likely remaining under
500 J/kg on a widespread basis. Nonetheless, a narrow, low-topped
squall line is expected to develop along the immediate lee of the
surface trough axis around 07-09Z. Point forecast soundings across
portions of eastern PA southward towards Delmarva suggest that 50 kt
southerly winds may occur as low as 400-500 m AGL. Despite the lack
of buoyancy, any mechanically driven downward momentum transport
within the line may support a couple strong wind gusts, with an
instance or two of tree/power-line damage possible with the stronger
gusts, hence the introduction of Category 1/MRGL probabilities. The
damaging-gust threat is expected to persist past 12Z into the Day 2
period east of the current MRGL risk area.
