    Mesoscale Discussion 1666

    Areas affected...Eastern PA/northern NJ into western New England

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 171627Z - 171830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The damaging-wind threat will increase this afternoon. One
    or more watches will likely be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Relatively strong heating is underway from parts of the
    Mid Atlantic into western New England, to the east of an extensive
    cloud shield that is moving eastward across western/central NY/PA
    and WV. A seasonably deep upper-level trough will move eastward
    across the lower Great Lakes and Northeast through the day, while an
    MCV embedded in the larger-scale trough will move from WV toward the
    Mid Atlantic. Cumulus is gradually building from east-central PA
    into southeast NY, and a general increasing in storm development and
    coverage is expected with time this afternoon.=20

    Midlevel lapse rates are weak (as noted on regional 12Z soundings),
    but continued heating will support MLCAPE increasing above 1000 J/kg
    with time. Modestly enhanced midlevel flow will support 30-40 kt of
    effective shear, sufficient for some storm organization. Multiple
    storm clusters and possibly a couple of supercells may evolve with
    time, with steepening low-level lapse rates supporting a primary
    threat of damaging wind. Some threat for isolated hail and/or a
    brief tornado is also possible if any supercells can be sustained.
    One or more watches will likely be needed this afternoon to cover
    the damaging-wind threat.
