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

    Valid 261805Z - 262000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms may continue to gradually develop
    through 3-5 PM EDT, with some accompanied by small hail and a few
    strong, potentially damaging, wind gusts.

    DISCUSSION...The initiation of widely scattered to scattered
    thunderstorm development appears underway to the east of the Blue
    Ridge, where low-level lapse rates are steepening most substantively
    in response to insolation and mixing, in the wake of mid/high
    cloudiness and light rain still overspreading northern Mid Atlantic
    coastal areas. Through 19-21Z, the Rapid Refresh suggests that
    continued boundary-layer warming may contribute to mixed-layer CAPE
    as high as 1000 J/kg, within pre-frontal surface troughing across
    central Virginia, northeastward toward the Delmarva.

    Mid/upper-level lapse rates are likely to remain weak, as stronger
    cooling aloft lags to the northwest of the region. But, with some strengthening of westerly mid-level wind fields (to 30-35 kt around
    500 mb), the environment may become conducive to small multi-cell
    clusters, accompanied by a few potentially damaging surface gusts
    which could approach severe limits.
