Concerning…Tornado Watch 28…29…
Valid 281315Z – 281515Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 28, 29 continues.
SUMMARY…An isolated severe threat is expected to continue as a
line moves eastward into the Appalachians. The threat should become
marginal this morning, and additional weather watch issuance is not
expected.
DISCUSSION…The latest mosaic radar imagery from southwest
Pennsylvania southwestward to middle Tennessee shows a line of
thunderstorms with several embedded severe storms and short bowing
line segments. This line will continue to move eastward into the
Appalachians this morning, where RAP analysis suggests weak
instability is present. This, combined with strong deep-layer shear
will likely continue to support a wind-damage and hail threat for
another hour or two. However, these threats are expected to become
increasingly marginal as the line moves to the east of the current
watches. At this time, weather watch issuance is not planned to the
east of the ongoing watches.
