Valid 192021Z - 192215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 526 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for damaging/severe winds will become increasingly concentrated across eastern Virginia over the next several hours. DISCUSSION...A mixture of semi-discrete cells and convective clusters continue to evolve across central VA and northern NC, and have a history of sporadic wind damage and small hail. Recent GOES IR imagery and MRMS vertically integrated liquid/echo top data continue to show transient, but intense, convective cores developing across the region as storms move into, or develop within, a very buoyant environment. Recent RAP mesoanalysis estimates suggest MLCAPE has increased to 2000-3000 J/kg across eastern VA as temperatures climb into the upper 80s and low 90s with low-level lapse rates between 7-7.5 C/km. The trajectories of ongoing cells and clusters suggests that storm interactions/convergence will become increasingly likely across eastern VA within this CAPE maximum over the next several hours. As this occurs, the favorable thermodynamic environment should support an uptick in storm coverage along with increasing probability for damaging downburst winds and perhaps small hail. ...Moore.. 07/19/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-EzshdrdAtxHGa84eKayQ3oGQXEa7GTX2yfHLN9z49vmVZXkn_GmZoahg1rpY_HxX21pZ8nzg= TajUqUAaM1OSmGYGok$ for graphic product...
