11:45 AM | ***Severe thunderstorm threat this afternoon and evening throughout the Mid-Atlantic region*** — Arcfield Weather

In terms of specific severe weather threats, damaging straight line winds of 60+ mph are possible given expected low-level wind shear and isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out.  Also, given the increasingly unstable atmosphere, there will be support for the generation of large hail in some areas.  Furthermore, the high moisture content will lead to the possibility of flash-flooding type of rainfall during any thunderstorms; especially, in those areas that get hit more than once.
