    Mesoscale Discussion 0816

    Areas affected...central/southern VA and far northern NC

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 161835Z - 162100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms may spread east of WW 261 across
    parts of southern to central Virginia into northern North Carolina.
    Uncertainty exists with overall intensity and coverage, but at least
    an isolated severe threat seems probable.

    DISCUSSION...Earlier supercells within WW 261 have consolidated into
    a pair of clusters, one crossing the WV/VA border and a more
    prominent one moving from KY into far southwest VA. How this
    activity evolves east of WW 261 is rather uncertain. Recent HRRR
    runs are insistent on this activity weakening with mesoscale-ascent
    tending to focus north ahead of a remnant MCV over northern WV. In
    addition, SFCOA highlights appreciable MLCIN still lingering in
    parts of the Piedmont, centered on the VA/NC border area. Still,
    strong deep-layer speed shear, coupled with a rear-inflow jet
    apparent in JKL VWP data behind the latter cluster, may support a
    focused swath of damaging wind and embedded hail threat persisting
    into the late afternoon to early evening.
