The Storm Prediction Center has placed the Mid-Atlantic in a risk area for severe weather today. The persistent warm, moist southerly flow ahead of an approaching cold front will increase the threat for thunderstorms this afternoon. Limited instability may inhibit widespread development, but shear profiles are favorable for supercells to form, with the threat for damaging winds and possibly isolated tornadoes.
