DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing along a surface trough near the higher terrain of west-central VA. Low to mid 70s surface dewpoints are contributing to 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE amid modest midlevel lapse rates. Continued heating will result in steepening low-level lapse rates the next few hours. Vertical shear is expected to remain weak, at or below 20 kt 0-6 km effective bulk shear. This will limit longevity/organization of strong updrafts. Nevertheless, high PW values and boundary-layer mixing to around 1 km could support sporadic downbursts. While midlevel lapse rates and 3-6 km flow will remain weak, large instability from 700-300 mb and somewhat elongated hodographs could support a few instances of near-1 inch hail. The overall threat is expected to remain marginal, and a severe thunderstorm watch is not expected at this time. ...Leitman/Grams.. 07/01/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7-VAdNOTwjJOQ6KZq3XD-7F3hfR93OlK5_UUngxOYK8lfDgyXgTZdRM_WMNSL75TfuhzyzNd7= SwlQw-m237wHkSlkEs$ for graphic product...
