Areas affected...Portions of WV

Concerning...Tornado Watch 74...

Valid 021459Z - 021630Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 74 continues.

SUMMARY...A substantial severe wind threat (70-90+ mph gusts), along
with isolated tornadoes, will approach Charleston West Virginia and
vicinity through noon.

DISCUSSION...KHTS recently measured a significant severe wind gust
to 80 kt (92 mph) with a compact but well organized cluster
currently moving quickly eastward across parts of WV. Even though
the airmass across this region remains only weakly unstable, very
strong low-level and deep-layer shear is helping to compensate and
provide convective organization. Recent radar data from KRLX shows
enhanced inbound velocities embedded within the line that suggest
70-90+ mph wind gusts will likely continue to be a threat with this
line as it approaches the Charleston WV metro and vicinity over the
next hour (through noon EDT). In addition to this substantial
severe/damaging wind threat, isolated tornadoes embedded within the
line also appear possible given the strength of the low-level flow
and related shear.
