Areas affected...portions of central Virginia

Concerning...Tornado Watch 66...67...

Valid 161535Z - 161700Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 66, 67 continues.

SUMMARY...A locally more favorable severe weather corridor exists
over the next 2 to 3 hours across portions of central Virginia.

DISCUSSION...Temperatures have increased to the mid to upper 60s in
a narrow zone from south-central Virginia into east-central Virginia
late this morning. Some breaks in the clouds remain across this
region which may permit some additional warming. The line of storms
near the NC/VA border are also more favorably oriented for a greater
damaging wind/QLCS tornado threat. Additionally, mid-level flow is
rapidly strengthening with the FCX VWP showing mid-level flow
increasing from 60 knots to 80 knots over the last 2 hours.=20

Therefore, this corridor from Halifax to Hanover County may have a
greater severe weather threat over the next 2 to 3 hours.
