    Areas affected...portions of southeast Pennsylvania and northeast
    Maryland

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 200243Z - 200415Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe gusts will accompany an eastward moving
    MCS over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A rapidly eastward propagating, likely cold-pool-driven
    MCS, with a history of measured severe/damaging gusts (some
    exceeding 65 kts), persists along the PA/MD border. The 00Z observed
    IAD sounding depicts a relatively dry boundary layer in the general
    area, suggesting that deep-layer evaporative cooling is contributing
    to a deep/strong cold pool, which is likely supporting both MCS
    longevity, and severity of the corresponding severe wind swath.
    However, decreasing lightning trends raises questions as to how long
    this MCS will persist given weak to modest synoptic forcing, with
    longevity dependent on cold pool maintenance. Nonetheless, as long
    as the MCS persists, strong to potentially severe gusts remain
    possible.
