    Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-Atlantic

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

    Valid 031742Z - 031945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered storms will develop in a hot, moist environment.
    Scattered damaging winds and isolated large hail will be possible.
    One or more severe thunderstorm watches are likely for much of the
    Mid-Atlantic in the next 1-2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Early-afternoon satellite imagery shows developing
    cumulus along the Appalachians. Some stable billow clouds remain in central/northern Virginia, but they have shown a dissipating trend
    over the last hour. Farther south, a weak MCV is slowly moving east
    in central North Carolina. Some convection has recently developed
    along the northeastern flank of this feature where temperatures are
    in the low 90s F. Due to modest rising mid-level heights, it seems
    that convection may still take some time to mature, with the
    MCV-related storms potentially being an exception. Modest mid-level
    winds remaining across the region (diminishing with southward
    extent) will lead to 30-35 kts of effective shear. Strong surface
    heating and dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s F will support
    1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE (greater with southward extent). Scattered
    thunderstorms are expected over the next few hours with the
    potential for strong/severe wind gusts. Large hail is possible with
    supercell structures, but will be more isolated in nature. A severe thunderstorm watch is likely for much of the Mid-Atlantic region in
    the next 1-2 hours.
