    Areas affected...The Mid-Atlantic region

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 457...459...

    Valid 042247Z - 050045Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 457, 459
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The potential for damaging winds continues across the
    greater Mid-Atlantic region. More focused corridors of higher wind
    risk may emerge across southeastern Pennsylvania into northern
    Maryland and across parts of central Virginia over the next couple
    of hours.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar mosaics continue to show multiple
    clusters of strong/severe thunderstorms with embedded swaths of
    stronger winds. Most wind reports so far have been in the 35-55 mph
    range, but occasional severe gusts and multiple reports of wind
    damage have been noted over the past hour. Regional VWPs continue to
    sample relatively weak deep-layer wind shear that will maintain outflow-dominant mutli-cell and clustered storm modes through late
    evening. However, surface temperatures remain fairly hot (upper 90s
    to low 100s) with steep low-level lapse rates noted across northern
    MD into southeastern PA, and across parts of central VA where
    convective overturning has yet to occur.=20

    For the next few hours, the expectation is for a continuation of poorly-organized multi-cell clusters with sporadic swaths of
    damaging/severe winds across much of the region. The wind risk will
    most likely be focused across central/southern VA where conditions
    remain very hot and across east/southeast PA where multiple clusters
    may converge and promote an uptick in thunderstorm coverage later
    this evening.
