NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0437 PM CDT Mon May 16 2022
Areas affected...Portions of the DelMarVa
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230...
Valid 162137Z - 162230Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 230
continues.
SUMMARY...A well-developed supercell is likely to persist across the
DelMarVa to the Atlantic Ocean
DISCUSSION...A supercell which developed west of DC has produced
numerous reports of large hail (up to golf ball size) and damaging
winds. MRMS MESH continues to show 1.75 to 2 inch hail with this
storm and WSR-88D sampled wind gusts over 60 knots. Temperatures are
in the low 80s ahead of this storm with dewpoints in the mid 60s.
This yields over 1500 J/kg MLCAPE with over 50 knots of effective
shear per KDOX VWP. Therefore, this storm will likely persist to the
Atlantic coast with a continued threat for large hail, damaging
winds, and potentially a tornado.
