    Concerning...Tornado Watch 615...

    Valid 090838Z - 091145Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 615 continues.

    SUMMARY...The potential remains for brief tornadoes tonight, mainly
    from northern Virginia into southeast Pennsylvania.

    DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows a warm front well into PA, where
    low-level winds remain backed and are now gusting to 25-30 kt out of
    the southeast. Theta-e has increased with the passage of the warm
    front, with mid 70s F dewpoints and temperatures of 77-80 F.
    Meanwhile, area VWPS indicate that low-level shear remains quite
    favorable for brief tornadoes, with 0-1 km SRH values over 200
    m2/s2.

    Recent radar trends indicate increasing storms just east of the low,
    where enhanced lift is interacting with the still warm and unstable
    air mass. Given current trends, growing showers could become
    supercells over the next several hours, with a tornado risk. In
    addition, other convection interacting with the warm front farther
    north may also attain rotation. As such, the tornado watch
    continues, and areas just north of the ongoing watch may need to be
    addressed later this morning as the air mass, and lift, remain
    favorable.
