REACHING THE MID-ATLANTIC AND A LEE TROUGH TO FORM. A SHORTWAVE

IA-IL WILL REACH THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IT IS EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN BUT WITH THE SRLY FLOW ADVECTING WARM AND MOIST CONDITIONS

A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT/SUN
MORNING AND MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC
SUNDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL BE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND A COLD
FRONT WILL BE STRETCHED FROM PA TO OHIO TO MO. AS THE STRONG

THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY. DEPENDING ON THE AMT OF INSTABILITY THE
REGION GETS WITH THE DEPARTING MCS FROM THE OHIO VALLEY... SEVERE
STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH THE THREATS OF DMG WINDS LARGE HAIL
ISOLATED TORNADOES AND HEAVY RAIN. SREF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW A
RANGE OF CAPE SOLUTIONS FOR SUNDAY WITH 500 TO 3000 J/KG POSSIBLE.
ONE THING THAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT SHEAR PROFILES INCREASE SUNDAY
AND HODOGRAPHS BECOME LINEAR WITH 40-50 KTS AT 10-15K FEET. A
STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUN AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.


OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SFC LOW ACROSS
OH/PA/NY WILL LEAD TO THE THREAT OF SVR THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING TORNADOES.

Only when there is a SLGT risk does the great Yoda appear ;)

 

LWX seemed to think perhaps we will see a higher chance of severe (i.e. few storms vs isolated ones) due to more instability on local models per updated morning disco

August is pretty close to the worst month of the year.

Looks like Feb 6-7, 2008. Super Tuesday tornado outbreak in south and OH Valley. Fail around here. :cry:

MDstorm

Yep. Feb 6 2008. Second outlook of the day.. Pretty much no severe in hatched area.

Moderate risk?

I'm so sorry but my very first thought when I saw this was helllllllllll no. Color me biased in the worst way possible when it comes to svr potential here. I'm currently working through my objectivity issues :lol:

 

Are you new?

 

Anyways, looks like some spotty gusty winds/spin-up threat. No real reason for a slight risk.
