    Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 101910Z - 102145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated low-topped convection may produce locally strong
    wind gusts, with an isolated damaging wind gust or two possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest regional radar imagery depicts isolated,
    low-topped convection developing along portions of the
    Appalachians/Blue Ridge. While low-level moisture will limited ahead
    of an approaching cold front (surface dewpoints in the 40s to
    low-50s F), latest mesoanalysis and recent ACARS profiles from
    DCA/BWI depict weak buoyancy (100-300+ J/kg MLCAPE), steep low-level
    lapse rates (8.5-9.0 C/km), and deep, well-mixed boundary layers
    across the region. This will promote some potential for isolated
    gusty winds, and perhaps a damaging wind gust or two, with any
    stronger downdrafts as convection spreads eastward across the area.
    With the severe risk forecast to remain limited in coverage and
    magnitude, watch issuance is not expected.
