Damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible Wednesday from the Mid-Atlantic to Florida.
A steel billboard and its support were blown over in Dunbar, W.Va., Tuesday after severe storms blew through the area. A multiday stretch of severe weather is entering its third and final act Wednesday, which will feature the risk of a few severe storms on the East Coast. Damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes are possible from“strong” and “long-track tornadoes” on Tuesday
The main concern will be for a few thunderstorms to form shortly after lunchtime along the cold front as it approaches a narrow filament of warm air being squeezed up the East Coast. Changing winds with height, known as wind shear, will allow a few kinks of rotation to form within storms. That could lead to an isolated tornado threat.
On Monday, a “cap” of warm air aloft remained too strong to allow storms to form initially. It suppressed thunderstorm growth at first, preventing surface air from rising. By the time stormsform late, there was little opportunity for overlap between the most pronounced wind dynamics, which could favor rotation, and the greatest instability, or storm fuel.Tuesday’s storms affected an even greater area, with severe weather risks from the Gulf Coast to near Lake Erie.
