Damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes will be possible. A watch is likely for parts of the area, especially across Virginia into North Carolina. DISCUSSION...A mix of semi-discrete, marginal supercell structures and line segments are advancing eastward across far southwestern WV and far southwestern VA -- ahead of a surface low and cold front. In the near-term, this activity is in an environment characterized by weak buoyancy and strong/favorable low-level shear/SRH. As a result, these storms will pose some tornado risk, though the limited buoyancy casts uncertainty on the overall risk. Farther east, continued diurnal heating of upper 50s/lower 60s dewpoints will contribute to stronger buoyancy along/south of a quasi-warm front extending from the surface low eastward to the Mid-Atlantic. While low-level SRH may not be quite as high with eastward extent,=20 clockwise-curved hodographs and sufficient instability ahead of the surface low will support damaging winds and a few tornadoes -- given an expected cellular mode. A watch is likely for parts of the area, with less confidence in the overall risk with westward extent. ...Weinman/Smith.. 05/30/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4YYLoo_oiHlylRkPm-3DD50MPxcIhwI6AnYUNrT-UPh86IHcKtNpQ5EFctRdZU2kI-F82y2v_= Js5fgA_R_6ZK4elNPU$ for graphic product...
