MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1469
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0225 PM CDT MON SEP 17 2018

AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST VA...SOUTHERN/CENTRAL MD
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE 

VALID 171925Z - 172130Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

SUMMARY...THE BRIEF TORNADO THREAT WILL SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD WITH
TIME THIS AFTERNOON INTO AREAS NEAR AND SOUTHEAST OF DC. TORNADO
WATCH ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE.

DISCUSSION...AT 19Z, THE REMNANT SURFACE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH
TD FLORENCE WAS LOCATED NEAR THE OH/WV BORDER, WITH A PRONOUNCED
MIDLEVEL DRY SLOT NOTED ON WV IMAGERY TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE
CENTER. A DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ZONE/EFFECTIVE WARM FRONT IS NOTED
FROM THE EASTERN WV PANHANDLE SOUTHEAST INTO PORTIONS OF CENTRAL VA
AND SOUTHERN MD. CONVECTION NEAR THE FRONTAL ZONE HAS DISPLAYED
OCCASIONAL ROTATION, AND A FEW BRIEF TDSS HAVE BEEN NOTED OVER THE
PAST FEW HOURS. AS THE BOUNDARY SHIFTS NORTHWARD WITH TIME, MLCAPE
OF 1000-1500 J/KG, 0-1 KM SHEAR OF 20-30 KT, AND 0-1 KM SRH OF
200-300 M2/S2 WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST TRANSIENT LOW-LEVEL
MESOCYCLONES, WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT OF BRIEF TORNADOES AND
PERHAPS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. 

THE MAIN CORRIDOR OF THREAT SHOULD SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD THIS
AFTERNOON, INTO AREAS NEAR AND SOUTH OF DC. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
A FEW DISCRETE CELLS WITH AT LEAST A TRANSIENT TORNADO THREAT, WATCH
ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE. A SMALL SLIGHT RISK WILL ALSO BE ADDED IN THE
FORTHCOMING 20Z DAY 1 OUTLOOK.
