A severe thunderstorm watch is likely for parts of Virginia into south-central Pennsylvania. DISCUSSION...A very moist airmass is in place across the Mid-Atlantic. Dewpoints are in generally in the low/mid 70s F. Morning observed soundings from the region suggest even limited heating would lead to surface-based destabilization. Current surface observations already show temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s F which should be sufficient. Visible satellite shows a few updrafts beginning to deepen within the Blue Ridge. Modest mid-level ascent will occur this afternoon, particularly for northern Virginia into south-central Pennsylvania. Coupled with the approach of a cold front from the west, widely scattered to scattered storms are expected. The greatest potential for supercells will be in south-central Pennsylvania into central Maryland/northern Virginia where effective shear will be 35-40 kts. Farther south, multicells will be the predominant mode. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary hazard this afternoon. A low-end tornado threat will also be present for northern Virginia into south-central Pennsylvania, where low-level shear will be slightly greater nearer to the surface low. This is also supported by KCCX/KLWX VAD data. A severe thunderstorm watch is likely for parts of the Mid-Atlantic, though uncertainty is greater with southern extent. ...Wendt/Guyer.. 07/10/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7DNK5QfPQRhmC4Qy0ooMQuEry01mczHnwE1SEBlYx5U_P129p2R9_n0xfrrSXl6kNguuf1hIf= dCu6hA2tvaO4HfXWEo$ for graphic product...
