   Areas affected...south-central Virginia

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 051350Z - 051545Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...A risk of damaging gusts or a brief tornado will gradually
   increase across parts of southern Virginia. A watch may eventually
   be needed.

   DISCUSSION...A strongly forced low-topped convective line continues
   to push east across western VA and NC, with a rather wide region of
   rain as well. Instability is weak but shear is quite strong. As
   persistent southerly winds bring greater theta-e into the region,
   temperatures rising into the 60s should eventually yield sufficient
   low-level buoyancy to support strong gusts or a brief QLCS tornado.
   Prior to any substantial boundary-layer destabilization, any severe
   risk will likely remain tied to the forced line.
