Day 1 Convective Outlook

Valid 170100Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC...

...SUMMARY...
Showers overspreading the northern Mid Atlantic coast vicinity may
continue to be accompanied by strong to severe wind gusts and
perhaps the risk for a tornado or two through mid to late evening.

...01Z Update...
The sharp surface frontal zone has been steadily progressing east of
the Allegheny Front and Blue Ridge Mountains the past few hours,
coincident with an area of low pressure within deep surface
troughing migrating across northern Virginia into south central
Pennsylvania.  Along the front near and just south of the wave, a
narrow line of convection continues to develop, supported by lift of
moist boundary-layer layer air characterized by at least weak CAPE.

Due to relatively warm mid/upper levels with weak lapse rates,
convection is likely to remain low-topped with little, if any,
lightning.  However, downdrafts have been sufficient to support the
downward transfer of momentum, associated with 50-60 kt southerly
mean flow in the lowest 3 km above ground level.  Profiles sampled
in 17/00Z sounding from Dulles (IAD) appear supportive of at least
some risk for a tornado or two.
