   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 233 CONTINUES.
   
   MESOANALYSIS AT 2030Z SHOWS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO WARM INTO THE
   80S ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO RESIDE IN THE
   MID/UPPER 60S OVER MOST OF THE AREA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF UPPER
   50S TO LOW 60S OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OF VA/WV. THE WARMING
   BOUNDARY LAYER AIRMASS HAS AIDED IN BOOSTING MLCAPE VALUES TO
   1000-1500 J/KG DURING THE LAST HR OVER NRN VA/MD. IN
   ADDITION...SFCOA GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES HAVE
   INCREASED TO AROUND 200-300 M2 S-2. THIS ENVIRONMENT FAVORS ROTATING
   STORMS POSING A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL AND A FEW
   TORNADOES. HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE REMAINS LOW...AND LATEST
   HI-RES MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS SOMEWHAT
   QUESTIONABLE. THEREFORE...SVR WEATHER THREAT MAY BE MARGINAL DURING
   THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...THOUGH WW 233 SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
   CONTINUE FOR ONGOING STORMS.
