SPC MD 1706
MD 1706 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 510... FOR WESTERN AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE

Mesoscale Discussion 1706
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1009 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2026

Areas affected...western and middle Tennessee

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 510...

Valid 220309Z - 220515Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 510
continues.

SUMMARY...The potential for more organized severe weather appears to
be diminishing. However, sporadic occurrences of damaging winds will
remain possible through 05Z.

DISCUSSION...Ongoing storms across middle TN have failed to sustain
an organized cold pool, with only pockets of enhanced velocities
noted in recent KOHX radar data. While latest objective analysis
indicates the presence of a moderately unstable air mass, poor
low/mid-level lapse rates are tempering updraft vigor. Locally
intense downdrafts will remain capable of sporadic damaging winds
over the next couple of hours. However, the potential for organized
severe weather appears to be diminishing.

MD 1707 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 509... FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA

Mesoscale Discussion 1707
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1101 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2026

Areas affected...parts of central and eastern Virginia

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 509...

Valid 220401Z - 220530Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 509
continues.

SUMMARY...A localized damaging wind and tornado threat may persist
into the overnight hours. As such, the watch has been extended until
05Z.

DISCUSSION...Satellite and radar data suggest multiple waves of
forcing for ascent moving through the region, which are supporting
more isolated storms now emerging from the Blue Ridge and a larger
complex of storms approaching the Tidewater Region. A warm and very
moist air mass resides within the inflow to these storms with latest
objective analysis indicating MLCAPE as high as 1000-2000 J/kg with
minimal convective inhibition. Moreover, the current KAKQ VWP is
sampling quite strong low-level shear with 0-1 km SRH of 400-450
m2/s2. The low-level shear decreases with westward extent, with the
KFCX indicating a respectable 0-1 km SRH of around 200 m2/s2.

It remains unclear whether the current storms are truly rooted
within the moist, unstable boundary layer, or slightly elevated. On
the condition storms are surface based, the potential exists for a
couple tornadoes along with locally damaging winds. As such, the
watch has been extended until 05z.
