    Concerning...Tornado Watch 105...

    Valid 112243Z - 120045Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 105 continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated tornado and wind-damage threat is expected to
    continue across parts of the central Appalachians for several more
    hours this evening. At this time, it appears that new watch issuance
    to the east of the ongoing watch will be unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...The latest water vapor imagery shows an upper-level
    trough over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, with the exit region of
    a mid-level jet moving across the central Appalachians. Large-scale
    ascent appears to be maximized within this feature, which will
    continue to support scattered thunderstorm development this evening.
    The exit region of the jet was also creating moderate deep-layer
    shear over the top of a weakly unstable airmass, with MLCAPE
    estimated between 250 and 500 J/kg. The instability and shear should
    be just enough to continue an isolated tornado and wind-damage
    threat over the next few hours with the watch. An isolated severe
    threat could also develop just to the east of the current watch, but
    the magnitude of the threat is expected to be too marginal for new
    weather watch issuance.
