Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will likely be needed. DISCUSSION...An isolated thunderstorm has recently strengthened over the higher terrain of the eastern WV Panhandle. This activity should continue to pose some threat for severe hail and damaging winds in the short term as it moves northeastward. The 12Z sounding from IAD shows a very moist profile through low levels, with ample low-level moisture present. Steepened mid-level lapse rates are also present over much of the Mid-Atlantic, which is already supporting 1500-2500+ J/kg of MLCAPE along/east of the higher terrain. With continued daytime heating of this moist airmass, should support a further increase in boundary-layer instability and steepening of low-level lapse rates through the afternoon. Mid-level southwesterly flow remains only modestly enhanced, around 20-30 kt, on the eastern side of an upper trough centered over the Great Lakes and OH/TN Valleys. Even so, similar values of deep-layer shear should promote some updraft organization. A mix of multicells and marginal supercell structures will be possible with initial development over the next few hours along/east of weak surface troughing. Isolated severe hail and damaging winds may occur with this convection. With time, upscale growth into one or more bowing clusters will likely occur, with a corresponding increase in the threat for scattered damaging winds with ample DCAPE present. Given these expectations, one or more Severe Thunderstorm Watches will likely be needed in the next couple of hours. ...Gleason/Kerr.. 09/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!51CSzVTBfGTILf6oCyGSll5alEPWnvbxY4X8blQo4YzZuqztFqrlum0P4182M0t-NbK9FL51W= ETk0UYRgm8jf5PVmW0$ for graphic product...
