Areas affected...Southwest into Southeast Virginia...far northern
North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 151723Z - 151930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Strong to occasionally severe storms may produce wind
damage and perhaps a tornado or two. The tornado threat will be
maximized near a lifting warm front. A watch is not currently
expected this afternoon, though trends will be monitored.

DISCUSSION...Water vapor imagery shows a weak mid-level disturbance
moving into the Mid-Atlantic. Signs of synoptic ascent are also
evident on visible satellite. A storm in Franklin County, VA,
recently has developed and has shown some signs of at least weak
low-level rotation on KFCX velocity data. This storm is near a warm
front where low-level hodographs will be modestly enlarged with the
more easterly surface winds. With the approaching ascent, additional
storms are possible this afternoon. Isolated damaging winds are
likely the primary threat, though a tornado or two could also occur
with storms that favorably interact with the warm frontal zone.
Given weak mid-level lapse rates, diffuse synoptic lift, and
marginal deep-layer and low-level shear, storm coverage and
intensity will not likely warrant a watch this afternoon. However,
convective trends near the warm front will continue to be monitored.
