    Mesoscale Discussion 2093
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1058 AM CDT Thu Sep 07 2023

    Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast

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

    Valid 071558Z - 071830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for damaging winds and hail will continue to
    increase over the next couple of hours. Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance will likely be needed.

    DISCUSSION...An isolated thunderstorm has recently strengthened over
    the higher terrain of the eastern WV Panhandle. This activity should
    continue to pose some threat for severe hail and damaging winds in
    the short term as it moves northeastward. The 12Z sounding from IAD
    shows a very moist profile through low levels, with ample low-level
    moisture present. Steepened mid-level lapse rates are also present
    over much of the Mid-Atlantic, which is already supporting
    1500-2500+ J/kg of MLCAPE along/east of the higher terrain. With
    continued daytime heating of this moist airmass, should support a
    further increase in boundary-layer instability and steepening of
    low-level lapse rates through the afternoon.

    Mid-level southwesterly flow remains only modestly enhanced, around
    20-30 kt, on the eastern side of an upper trough centered over the
    Great Lakes and OH/TN Valleys. Even so, similar values of deep-layer
    shear should promote some updraft organization. A mix of multicells
    and marginal supercell structures will be possible with initial
    development over the next few hours along/east of weak surface
    troughing. Isolated severe hail and damaging winds may occur with
    this convection. With time, upscale growth into one or more bowing
    clusters will likely occur, with a corresponding increase in the
    threat for scattered damaging winds with ample DCAPE present. Given
    these expectations, one or more Severe Thunderstorm Watches will
    likely be needed in the next couple of hours.
