MD 0373 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 87… FOR VIRGINIA TIDEWATERS
Mesoscale Discussion 0373
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0316 PM CDT Wed Apr 03 2024
Areas affected…Virginia Tidewaters
Concerning…Tornado Watch 87…
Valid 032016Z – 032215Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 87 continues.
SUMMARY…Tornado potential over the next 1-2 hours will focus in
the Virginia Tidewaters.
DISCUSSION…The warm front has lifted as far north into portions of
the Delmarva this afternoon. Ongoing activity is primarily along or
just north of this warm front. One discrete storm near Wakefield,
VA, as well some weaker cells to its southwest, will likely be the
main focus for tornado potential over the next 1-2 hours. The KAKQ
VAD still shows a favorable wind profile and the most favorable
remaining thermodynamic environment is within the Virginia
Tidewaters. Tornado potential right along the cold front will also
be present, but greater storm/outflow interaction may reduce the
threat to some extent.
