    Mesoscale Discussion 0793

    Areas affected...portions of far southeast Pennsylvania into far
    northern Virginia...central Maryland

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 192140Z - 192245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A damaging gust or two may occur with the stronger
    downbursts. The severe threat is very sparse, and a WW issuance is
    not expected.

    DISCUSSION...Widely scattered pulse-cellular storms have matured
    atop a well mixed boundary layer, characterized by low to mid 90s F
    surface temperatures and 8-9 C/km low-level lapse rates. Vertical
    shear, forcing, and mid-level lapse rates are all quite poor. As
    such, the well-mixed boundary layer may promote enough evaporative
    cooling with the stronger wet downbursts to support a damaging gust
    or two. However, the severe threat is very low, with no WW issuance anticipated.
