SPC Day 2 1730 OTLK has us in SLGT risk tomorrow... thoughts?

I think we'd be fine with a See Text. Stuff during the day could produce some small hailers, especially if they can play off of whatever boundary might be left over from tonight's MCS after it dies over the mountains. Some high clouds could linger over the region from tonight's anticipated storms, so that could inhibit some of the instability (which is a modest 1000-2000 J/kg on the 12z models).

Latest models showing an elevated cluster of storms coming in tomorrow night... some more hail possible with that, but the elevated instability isn't that impressive.

Shear will be on the weak side throughout tomorrow as well, so if we can't get the higher instability we probably won't get much in the way of severe.

Thanks :). I wasn't expecting any storms tonight... remnants of MCS from OV?

The models keep wanting to send an MCS at us, and then it dies off before it gets here. Sometimes they do hang on a little longer than numerical guidance would have us think, though.

Low 80s with low 60s DPs should not feel as gross as it does. I'm done with summer.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch up for southern VA: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0219.html

ww0219_radar_init.gif

DISCUSSION...SCATTERED TSTMS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO

INCREASE/SPREAD EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN VA/NORTHERN NC

THIS AFTERNOON...WITH OTHER MORE PULSE-TYPE TSTMS ACROSS WESTERN NC.

MODERATE INSTABILITY/VERTICAL SHEAR ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN

VA/NORTHERN NC WILL ALLOW FOR SUSTAINED MULTICELLS AND POTENTIALLY A

FEW SUPERCELLS WITH ASSOCIATED RISKS OF SEVERE HAIL/WIND.
