Mesoscale Discussion 0940

0238 PM CDT Fri May 27 2022

Areas affected...Much of West Virginia...western Virginia...and far
northern North Carolina

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 271938Z - 272115Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated severe weather threat will persist through the
afternoon and early evening across portions of West Virginia.
Damaging winds and perhaps a tornado are the primary threats.

DISCUSSION...An arcing band of showers/stratiform rain stabilized
much of West Virginia this morning. However, in it's wake, it has
destabilized rather quickly with an expanding cumulus field apparent
on visible satellite. In addition, a  mini supercell has developed
near the West Virginia/Kentucky border. Do not expect a widespread
severe weather threat due to the limited instability and lack of
stronger flow in the low-levels. However, shear and instability
appear sufficient for some storm organization and the potential for
a stronger storm or two which could be capable of damaging wind
gusts. The VWP derived hodograph from RLX is relatively straight in
the low-levels which should limit the overall tornado threat, but it
cannot be ruled out given the ambient vorticity beneath the
upper-low and the potential for supercell structures.
