Mesoscale Discussion 0944
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1113 AM CDT Sun Jun 13 2021
Areas affected...portions of far southeast Ohio...southwest
Pennsylvania into northern West Virginia and northwest Virginia
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 131613Z - 131815Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...The severe potential is increasing across portions of the
Mid Atlantic. Damaging winds are the primary threat. A Severe
Thunderstorm Watch may be needed if storms continue to intensify and
increase in coverage.
DISCUSSION...Multicellular clusters have recently experienced an
uptick along the southwest flank of an ongoing MCS, on the leading
edge of the cold pool. The MCS is propagating southward towards 80+
F surface temperatures, with upper 60s to 70 F dewpoints
contributing to 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE. Though only 25 kts of effective
bulk shear are in place, and mid-level lapse rates are generally
under 6 C/km, continued surface heating with the rich moisture in
place is expected to support robust storm development into early
afternoon, both ahead of the MCS cold pool and along the cold front.
Wet downbursts and merging cold pools may support at least a few
damaging gusts with the stronger (albeit shorter lived)
multicellular clusters. Damaging gust potential may be high enough
to warrant the issuance of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch over the next
couple of hours.
