Concerning...Tornado Watch 602...
Valid 071917Z - 072045Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 602 continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 602.
Large hail and damaging gusts are the main threat in the short-term,
but the tornado risk should continue to steadily increase through
the afternoon.
DISCUSSION...Multiple mature supercells and quasi-linear structures
are progressing eastward across the central Appalachians into the
Mid Atlantic this afternoon, some with a history of severe hail and
damaging gusts. Given the favorable ambient buoyancy/deep-layer
shear preceding the ongoing storms, the supercells and quasi-linear
structures should maintain intensity, with the large hail/damaging
gust threat continuing. At the moment, regional VADs and forecast
soundings show hodographs with relatively straight curvature, which
may be limiting the current tornado threat to a degree. However, as
the mid-level trough continues to approach and shunts the 850 mb
southwesterly jet axis eastward, an increase in low-level hodograph
length and perhaps curvature should ensue, which would support an
increased tornado threat later this afternoon.
