MD 0822 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 263...264...266... FOR PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC
Mesoscale Discussion 0822 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0513 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 Areas affected...Parts of the Mid-Atlantic Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 263...264...266... Valid 162213Z - 162345Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 263, 264, 266 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat across the Mid Atlantic continues, with damaging straight-line winds in excess of 60 MPH and hail around 1.00-1.50" expected. These storms will continue to move eastward into the evening, and eventually offshore into the Atlantic. DISCUSSION...Severe thunderstorms ongoing across the Mid Atlantic have been responsible for widespread reports of 50-65 MPH wind gusts and wind damage, along with reports of 1.00-1.50" hail. These storms are expected to remain severe as they cross the Chesapeake Bay into eastern Maryland and Delaware, before eventually moving offshore into the Atlantic. Additionally, an isolated supercell thunderstorm has developed ahead of the line in eastern Maryland. VAD wind profiles from Dover AFB show some low-level curvature of the hodograph (sfc-1km SRH ~180 m^2/s^2). While damaging winds and hail are the primary threat, some tornado potential does exist with this discrete convection. ..Halbert.. 05/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
