    Watch up until 10pm URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 632 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 315 PM EDT Thu Aug 27 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of District Of Columbia Central Maryland Central Pennsylvania Northern Virginia Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 315 PM until 1000 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage and intensity is expected to increase across the region this afternoon as a shortwave trough and attendant cold front approach from the west. Warm and moist conditions have fostered strong buoyancy across the region while increasing mid-level flow contributes to strengthening deep-layer vertical shear. These environmental conditions support the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts and isolated large hail as the primary risks. A low-probability risk for a brief tornado or two exists as well.

    Will there be CAD south from the HP located in Lake America for the duration of Winter Storm America?

    Severe Thunderstorm Watch coming soon for most of us per MCD Mesoscale Discussion 2147 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1252 PM CDT Thu Aug 27 2026 Areas affected...south-central and southeast Pennsylvania into the West Virginia Panhandle...northern Virginia...and portions of Maryland Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 271752Z - 271945Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...The threat for severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail, and perhaps a brief tornado is expected to increase between 19-21Z. A severe thunderstorm watch is likely. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery indicates deepening cumulus along the high terrain from the WV Panhandle and northern VA into portions of south-central PA amidst a warming and destabilizing boundary layer with MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg, per latest objective analysis. Continued daytime heating coupled with the glancing influence of a subtle disturbance passing near and to the southeast of the area is expected to support a gradual increase in thunderstorms across the discussion area over the next 2-3 hours. The degree of instability combined with around 30 kt of deep-layer shear will support some storm organization, including possible supercell and/or bowing structures, with the primary hazard being damaging wind gusts as low-level lapse rates continue to steepen. Marginally severe hail is also possible, especially with any supercells that may evolve. A conditional brief tornado threat may materialize, particularly over northeast MD into far southeast PA, with storms developing along or favorably interacting with an outflow boundary associated with ongoing storms over NJ, where low-level shear may be locally enhanced. ..Mead/Mosier.. 08/27/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

    Mesoscale Discussion 2091 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0502 PM CDT Sat Aug 22 2026 Areas affected...Portions of western/central Virginia and northern North Carolina Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 222202Z - 230030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Storms are expected to increase in coverage while spreading eastward into this evening. The primary concern is locally damaging wind gusts. While a watch is not currently expected, trends are being monitored. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are increasing in coverage along the Blue Ridge in western VA, potentially aided by increasing midlevel height falls preceding a broad midlevel trough approaching the region from the west. Over the next few hours, these storms should continue spreading eastward across western/central VA and northern NC. A warm, moist, and uncapped air mass downstream should support a modest increase in thunderstorm coverage. While midlevel lapse rates are limiting overall buoyancy (around 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE), an elongated midlevel hodograph (40 kt of 0-6 km shear per FCX VWP) could promote a few loosely organized clusters capable of producing locally damaging wind gusts. While the overall risk may remain too localized/sparse for a watch, trends are being monitored. ..Weinman/Thompson.. 08/22/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

    AFDLWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 331 PM EDT Thu Aug 20 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Severe and Tornado Watches have been issued for parts of the area until 10 PM. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Severe and Tornado Watches are in effect until 10 PM. - After a brief lull Friday, additional showers and a few thunderstorms are possible Friday night into Saturday. - Thunderstorm chances increase on Sunday before drier conditions move in early next week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Severe and Tornado Watches are in effect until 10 PM. KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... Our atmosphere is characterized by 90F temps and mid 70s dewpoints with up to 3500 J/KG of MUCAPE, DCAPE of 418 J/kg, 40 kt of 0-6 km shear, and 0-3 km SRH of 220 m^2/S^2 based on our 18Z IAD sounding. Storms have already exhibited mid-level rotation, particularly the one over the eastern shore of MD. Expect discrete supercells this afternoon with a sig tornado potential, particularly along and south of I-70 where 18Z gridded NUCAPS data showed a tight low-level moisture gradient. By evening, storms may congeal into an MCS or line as shown in earlier and most recent HRRR forecasts. Flash flooding risk is expected to remain low due to progressive storm motions of around 27kt, but brief intense rainfall rates of 2"/hour are possible.
