MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1337   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK   1027 AM CDT THU JUL 09 2015   AREAS AFFECTED...WV/SOUTHEAST OH INTO WESTERN PA/FAR WESTERN MD   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE    VALID 091527Z - 091730Z   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT   SUMMARY...SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND   POSSIBLY A TORNADO IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH EARLY   AFTERNOON ACROSS WV/FAR SOUTHEAST OH INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF PA/MD.   MONITORING FOR A POSSIBLE WATCH ISSUANCE AS EARLY AS MIDDAY/EARLY   AFTERNOON ACROSS PARTS OF THE REGION...WITH A WATCH ISSUANCE   BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY WITH EASTWARD EXTENT INTO PA/MD LATER   TODAY.   DISCUSSION...REGIONAL 12Z OBSERVED SOUNDINGS AND MORE CONTEMPORARY   WSR-88D VWP DATA SAMPLE A SEASONALLY STRONG DEEP-LAYER WIND FIELD   OVER THE OH VALLEY...HIGHLIGHTED BY AS MUCH AS 40-50 KT   WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WITHIN THE LOWEST 2-5 KM AGL ASSOCIATED   WITH AN EASTWARD-MOVING VORT MAX/MCV. A 1011 MB SURFACE LOW NEAR   LAKE ERIE AT 15Z WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD TODAY WHILE A TRAILING COLD   FRONT ALSO MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE MIDDLE/UPPER OH VALLEY.    WITHIN THE PRE-COLD FRONT WARM SECTOR...ONE RELATIVELY LOW-TOPPED   UPDRAFT/THUNDERSTORM HAS ALREADY EXHIBITED GRADUAL SIGNS OF   INTENSIFICATION ACROSS FAR SOUTH-CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST OH AS OF 15Z.   ALTHOUGH SOME CLOUD BILLOWS /IMPLICATIONS OF STABILITY/ STILL   PERSIST AHEAD OF THIS STORM...THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS WV/SOUTHEAST OH   INTO NEARBY SOUTHWEST PA/WESTERN MD CONTINUES TO STEADILY WARM IN   CONJUNCTION WITH LOWER 70S F SURFACE DEWPOINTS. THUS...INCREASING   STORM DEVELOPMENT/INTENSIFICATION IS PROBABLE INTO THE AFTERNOON   INTO WV AND NEARBY PA/MD. A COLLOCATED BELT OF STRENGTHENING WINDS   AND WEAK TO MODERATE BUOYANCY WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR ORGANIZED STORM   MODES INCLUDING FAST-MOVING LINE SEGMENTS/BOWS AND THE POSSIBILITY   OF AT LEAST SOME WEAK/TRANSIENT SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF WIND DAMAGE   AND POTENTIALLY SOME TORNADO RISK.   ..GUYER/MEAD.. 07/09/2015   ATTN...WFO...CTP...LWX...RNK...PBZ...RLX...

I'd be tempted to give it a meh but then people up north would be like "this was the best storm in 800.57 years!" and then we'd have to answer why we meh a day with storms and how snow is better. So... woo storms.

      ..MID ATLANTIC REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING    POOR MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OBSERVED BY 12Z RAOBS WILL BE OFFSET BY  POCKETS OF STRONGER HEATING AND BOUNDARY-LAYER DEWPOINTS IN THE  UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S TO YIELD AFTERNOON MLCAPE VALUES APPROACHING  1000 J/KG TO THE SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT.  DCVA ATTENDANT TO THE  SYNOPTIC-SCALE SHORT-WAVE TROUGH AND A CONVECTIVELY INDUCED  VORTICITY MAXIMUM OVER S-CNTRL OH AS OF LATE MORNING WILL CONTRIBUTE  TO THE GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS THROUGH MIDDAY WITHIN THE WARM  SECTOR OVER PORTIONS OF ERN OH/NRN WV/WRN PA.  EXPECT STORMS TO  INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS AFTERNOON WHILE SPREADING  EWD THROUGH PA/NRN WV/NRN MD AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW WITH  ADDITIONAL STORMS LIKELY ALONG A PRE-FRONTAL/LEE TROUGH INTO NRN VA  AND EVENTUALLY THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AREA.    CURRENT WSR-88D VAD DATA FROM THE UPPER OH VALLEY THIS MORNING  INDICATE SEASONABLY STRONG LOWER TO MID-TROPOSPHERIC FLOW WHICH WILL  SPREAD EWD TODAY IN TANDEM WITH THE SYNOPTIC SYSTEM...CREATING AN  ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS AND/OR BOWING STRUCTURES.   WHILE DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD...A FEW TORNADOES  ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WITH SUPERCELLS THAT CAN BECOME SUSTAINED  AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW AND ALONG THE WARM FRONT WHERE LOW-LEVEL  SHEAR IS MAXIMIZED.    THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS A TORNADO WILL PERSIST  INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF NJ/DE...PRIOR TO STORMS  WEAKENING AND/OR MOVING OFFSHORE.

ENH touches my county. It's tickling me lol. I'd think Katie is probably in a decent spot for today. Maybe more so up near my girlfriend in Carlisle. Maybe I should have gone to visit today...

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF PA/MD/WV AND FAR NORTH VA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 091659Z - 091900Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A TORNADO WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR AN INCREASING
DAMAGING WIND/ISOLATED TORNADO RISK BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON
PARTICULARLY ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN PORTIONS OF PA/MD/WV AND
ADJACENT FAR NORTHERN VA.

DISCUSSION...A SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS LAKE
ERIE VICINITY TOWARD NORTHERN PA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE A
PRECEDING WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY SPREAD NORTHWARD
ACROSS PA/NJ. UPSTREAM STORMS CURRENTLY ACROSS NORTHERN WV/FAR
SOUTHWEST PA AT 17Z SHOULD FURTHER INCREASE AND POTENTIALLY GROW
UPSCALE OVER TIME...WHILE ADDITIONAL/SEMI-DISCRETE STORMS SHOULD
ALSO DEVELOP/INCREASE JUST AHEAD OF/PERIPHERAL TO THIS ACTIVITY.
INITIAL SIGNS OF THIS MAY ALREADY BE OCCURRING ACROSS CENTRAL PA
COINCIDENT WITH A DEEPENING CU FIELD PER VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
AMID AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE/WEAKLY INHIBITED WARM SECTOR.

ORGANIZED STORM MODES INCLUDING WHAT MAY BE A COMBINATION OF
SEMI-DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND AN UPSCALE-GROWING CONVECTIVE LINE/BOWS
WILL BE AIDED BY A SEASONALLY STRONG STRENGTHENING BELT OF
LOW/MID-TROPOSPHERIC WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AS NOTED IN UPSTREAM
UPPER-AIR OBSERVATIONS. DAMAGING WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE
STRONGER STORMS...WITH SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL AS WELL...PARTICULARLY
IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE SURFACE LOW/WARM FRONT ACROSS PA /AND
EVENTUALLY NJ/.
