Areas affected...Southwest Virginia...central/southeast
Virginia...far northern North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 141746Z - 141945Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Storms will continue to develop and pose some risk of
damaging winds as they move east off the Blue Ridge. A watch is not
currently expected given the loosely organized convection.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite continues to show deepening cumulus
clouds developing within the Blue Ridge. This is in response to a
weak mid-level trough upstream in the Mid-South. This trend is
expected to continue given the very moist (low 70s F dewpoints) and
uncapped airmass. Temperatures are in the mid/upper 80s F in
southern Virginia and low-level lapse rates will support a few
stronger/potentially damaging wind gusts with activity as it moves
eastward. Given the weakening trough to the west, deep-layer shear
will be modest and storms will only be loosely organized.
Furthermore, weak mid-level lapse rates, sampled by regional 12Z
soundings, will also temper storm intensity. Some guidance has
suggested small-scale clustering may occur. This could lead to a
locally greater threat for wind damage.
