Valid 181723Z - 181900Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 510 continues. SUMMARY...The severe-wind threat continues with an east-southeastward-moving MCS/bowing complex this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KPAH shows a well-organized MCS/bowing complex tracking east-southeastward at around 50 kt over the lower OH River Valley this afternoon. This activity is associated with an expanding trailing stratiform region and a low/mid-level rear-inflow jet with speeds near 80 kt (per KPAH radar). Ahead of the MCS, filtered heating beneath a cirrus canopy continues to destabilize inflow for the system given upper 70s/lower 80s dewpoints beneath modestly steep midlevel lapse rates. The increasingly strong surface-based instability, coupled with around 40 kt of 0-6 km shear oriented perpendicular to the leading-edge gust front (per regional VWP), should support the maintenance or perhaps strengthening of the MCS. As a result, severe gusts up to 75 mph are possible as it continues east-southeastward this afternoon. ...Weinman.. 07/18/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-TmkPBB1CjNT6QLS18EDG50pSdSXFdjg8mqBC4paNyIkv6RYoPSy54YM9uhud6W0iU1zjppA4= VSqB6zXekM028z7RDs$ for graphic product...
