   Areas affected...Portions of the Mid-Atlantic

   Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

   Valid 091649Z - 091845Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will continue to intensify as they spread
   east into the Mid-Atlantic region through the afternoon. Watch
   issuance is expected.

   DISCUSSION...Latest GOES IR and MRMS imagery all show steady
   intensification of convection as well as a gradual increase in
   convective coverage across the central Appalachians. This trend is
   expected to continue over the next several hours amid continued
   daytime heating/destabilization and as convection approaches the
   apex of a buoyancy axis extending from the Carolinas into southern
   PA. Additionally, moderate mid-level flow associated with a
   low-amplitude upper disturbance is supporting adequate deep-layer
   shear (around 30 knots) for organized convection, including a couple
   of supercells. The expectation over the next several hours is that a
   mix of discrete cells and clusters will gradually grow upscale into
   one or more short, but organized, line segments given persistent
   broad-scale ascent, limited capping, and storm motions largely
   aligned with the zone of initiation. As such, an initial threat of
   large hail and sporadic severe winds should transition to primarily
   a severe wind threat as storms approach the I-95 corridor later this
   afternoon. Watch issuance is expected to address this potential.
