    Areas affected...portions of the upper Ohio Valley...West
    Virginia...and the Mid Atlantic

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247...

    Valid 271921Z - 272115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 247
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe risk continues across WW247. Several stronger
    clusters of storms have also been identified.

    DISCUSSION...Afternoon radar imagery over WW247 showed scattered to
    numerous thunderstorms ongoing over the watch area. The environment
    remains unstable and modestly sheared, which should continue to
    support the threat for damaging gusts and some hail with the
    strongest storms over much of the watch area.

    A corridor of locally greater severe potential is now apparent along
    a convectively modified boundary stretching from central VA
    northwestward into WV. Several clusters of stronger storms,
    including a supercell crossing the Chesapeake Bay, have become
    established along the boundary. The most unstable air mass (MLCAPE
    1500-2000 J/kg) and slightly stronger flow aloft resides along and
    south of the boundary, where locally enhanced convergence is also
    supporting an increase in convective coverage. This will likely
    support a few more robust storms with a concentrated risk for
    damaging gusts from southern WV into south central VA over the next
    few hours.
