Mesoscale Discussion 2101
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0535 PM CDT Thu Sep 07 2023
Areas affected…portions of eastern Virginia into extreme southern
Maryland
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 072235Z – 080000Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…A localized severe threat may expand south of Severe
Thunderstorm Watch 673. Damaging gusts are the main threat.
DISCUSSION…Pulse cellular thunderstorms are gradually increasing
in intensity across portions of eastern VA, where surface
temperatures remain over 90 F, with low 70s F dewpoints contributing
to 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE. While vertical shear and upper support are
weak, the aforementioned buoyancy may compensate to support wet
downbursts and associated damaging gusts over the next couple of
hours.
