SPC MD 805
MD 0805 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 234...235... FOR PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC

Mesoscale Discussion 0805
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0209 PM CDT Wed May 20 2026

Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234...235...

Valid 201909Z - 202045Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234, 235
continues.

SUMMARY...Potential for damaging wind gusts and isolated large hail
is increasing across portions Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234 and will
expand into downstream WW 235 through the afternoon.

DISCUSSION...Convective coverage has increased across portions WW234
over the past 1-2 hours amid continued destabilization ahead of an
approaching cold front, with two reports of wind damage noted across
far southern Pennsylvania. Recent radar trends suggest that some
upscale growth/clustering of convection is ongoing along various
outflow boundaries. The environment downstream of this convection
has continued to destabilize, with latest objective analysis
depicting 1000-1500+ J/kg MLCAPE across the region. Continued
insolation is also yielding steepening low-level lapse rates and
well-mixed boundary layer profiles (evident in recent regional ACARS
profiles and latest surface observations, respectively), with
surface dewpoint depressions approaching/exceeding 25-30 F. With
further convective clustering expected, this is expected to yield
increasing potential for damaging wind gusts across the eastern
portions of WW234 through the afternoon, with activity eventually
forecast to spreading downstream into WW235. Latest high-res
guidance (including recent WoFS runs) also depicts this increasing
potential.

MD 0806 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF THE TX TRANS-PECOS AND PERMIAN BASIN

Mesoscale Discussion 0806
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0253 PM CDT Wed May 20 2026

Areas affected...Parts of the TX Trans-Pecos and Permian Basin

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 201953Z - 202200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Severe storms with a threat of large hail and localized
severe gusts may develop later this afternoon into the early
evening.

DISCUSSION...A large area of primarily elevated and disorganized
convection is ongoing this afternoon from near Lubbock to Midland to
west of Del Rio. Moderate MUCAPE and marginally favorable deep-layer
shear could support occasional intensification of these elevated
storms, with a threat for isolated hail. 

Farther west, storms are gradually increasing in the vicinity of the
Davis Mountains, with a continued increase in coverage possible as a
low-amplitude midlevel shortwave trough approaches the region from
northern Mexico. Stronger heating has occurred in this area,
along/south of a baroclinic zone, and convection in this area could
evolve into more organized surface-based storms, with sufficient
deep-layer shear for supercell development. Moderate to locally
strong buoyancy and steep midlevel lapse rates will support
potential for large to very large hail, if any surface-based
supercells can evolve with time. Localized severe gusts will also be
possible, especially in areas along/south of the front, where
steeper low-level lapse rates are in place. 

Coverage of severe storms later this afternoon into the early
evening remains uncertain, but watch issuance is possible if
development of multiple sustained severe storms appears imminent.

Florida Man Spends Days Searching for Owner of Lost $30,000 He Found: ‘it wasn’t mine to take’

From Riviera Beach in Florida comes the story of a man returning $30,000 to a poor soul who’d misplaced it, saying “it wasn’t mine to take.”

The story is simple, yet powerful, and a reminder that there are good people all over the country; all over the world.

It starts with Luis Salazar walking into the bathroom of a Wawa convenience store and finding a fanny pack hung on the handrail inside the stall.

Salazar asked around inside the store to see if anyone had forgotten it, with no avail. His next thought was to open it up to look for an ID, but his mind went “numb” from what he saw inside: several huge wads of cash.

Yet being the good person prefaced in this story, Salazar never thought of taking a dime, and instead spent several days trying to locate the person who owned it. Eventually, the fanny pack’s owner contacted Riviera Beach police to report it missing, who used security camera footage to identify Salazar.

They told him the owner was waiting at the Riviera Beach Police Station, and Salazar went right over.

“So, I give him his bag. ‘This is yours.’ And he was crying. And he hugged me,” Salazar said.
