   Mesoscale Discussion 0373
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0316 PM CDT Wed Apr 03 2024

   Areas affected...Virginia Tidewaters

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 87...

   Valid 032016Z - 032215Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 87 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado potential over the next 1-2 hours will focus in
   the Virginia Tidewaters.

   DISCUSSION...The warm front has lifted as far north into portions of
   the Delmarva this afternoon. Ongoing activity is primarily along or
   just north of this warm front. One discrete storm near Wakefield,
   VA, as well some weaker cells to its southwest, will likely be the
   main focus for tornado potential over the next 1-2 hours. The KAKQ
   VAD still shows a favorable wind profile and the most favorable
   remaining thermodynamic environment is within the Virginia
   Tidewaters. Tornado potential right along the cold front will also
   be present, but greater storm/outflow interaction may reduce the
   threat to some extent.
