    Areas affected...portions of central and northern Virginia into
    central Maryland and southern to central Pennsylvania

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 602...

    Valid 072040Z - 072215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 602 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 602.
    Damaging gusts appear to be the main threat, but a couple of
    tornadoes may still occur with supercells or line-embedded
    circulations.

    DISCUSSION...A QLCS has developed across western MD into northern
    VA, which is preceded and flanked (to the south) by relatively
    discrete, longer lived supercell structures. Near 90F surface
    temperatures reside ahead of the QLCS, suggesting ample boundary
    layer heating and buoyancy are available to support several damaging
    gusts over the next few hours. A couple instances of large hail may
    still occur with ongoing supercells. Furthermore, the 850 mb
    southwesterly low-level jet axis continues to shunt eastward over
    the central Appalachians and may still overspread portions of the
    Mid Atlantic by evening. Should this occur, low-level shear may
    increase further, supporting the development of a couple of
    tornadoes with either ongoing supercells or line-embedded
    circulations.
