Areas affected...Northern Virginia and Maryland

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 553...

Valid 172026Z - 172200Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 553
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe thunderstorm threat for WW 553 continues, with
the primary threat being for thunderstorms capable of damaging wind
gusts.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has increased on the western
periphery of the watch area, with current radar reflectivity showing
some initial organization of convection into bowing segments.=20

These thunderstorms are in an environment characterized by weak
deep-layer vertical shear and only modest buoyancy, but steep
low-level lapse rates and relatively dry sub-cloud layer forecast
profiles support the continued downward transport of momentum from
thunderstorm downdrafts. The greatest threat for wind damage will be
with any organized bowing segments, as well as where favorable
thunderstorm outflow mergers occur. Additionally, short-term WoFS
guidance suggests elevated probabilities of 50+ MPH wind gusts over
the next several hours.=20

This convective activity is expected to continue to progress
eastward into Maryland this afternoon and into this evening, before
eventually dying off as the nocturnal boundary-layer stabilizes.
