    Areas affected...western/central PA to northern VA

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 263...

    Valid 162014Z - 162215Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 263
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A mix of damaging winds and severe hail remains possible
    through early evening from western to central Pennsylvania southward
    into northern Virginia. A corridor of greater damaging wind
    potential is apparent in central Maryland, the District of Columbia,
    and far northern Virginia.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has steadily increased ahead of a
    minor MCV, and separately along a wavy outflow boundary. Measured
    strong to severe wind gusts have occurred along the outflow
    associated with the MCV. Very strong mid-level winds persist in the
    wake of this MCV, as sampled by recent RLX VWP data. With surface
    temperatures in the mid to upper 80s ahead of this outflow, yielding
    peak MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg, damaging wind swaths are most
    probable into central MD to far northern VA. Farther north,
    convection has largely struggled, outside of a slow-moving supercell
    along the separate outflow boundary in south-central PA. Mixed
    severe hail and damaging wind will remain possible here, amid weak
    low-level shear/SRH.
