    Mesoscale Discussion 0779
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...western into northern NY...VT and NH

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 181619Z - 181815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong thunderstorms primarily capable of 40-55
    mph gusts and wind damage are possible. A localized risk yielding
    pockets of 55-60 mph may accompany the most intense downdrafts.

    DISCUSSION...Subjective surface analysis places a cold front over
    Lake Huron and extending through Ontario into Quebec. Ahead of the
    front, the boundary layer is warming through the 80s into the lower
    90s degrees F late this morning into the early afternoon. Rich
    low-level moisture with lower 70s surface dewpoints reside over much
    of NY with upper 60s in VT/NH. WSR-88D VAD trends at Burlington, VT
    and Buffalo, NY show mid-level westerly flow beginning to increase
    across the Lower Great Lakes. Additional strengthening in primarily
    westerly low- to mid-level flow is expected through the early
    evening.

    The 12Z Buffalo, NY RAOB sampled a very poor 700-500 mb lapse rate
    (4.5 degrees C/km) with little improvement expected as the upstream
    air mass farther west near Detroit moves eastward into the lower
    Great Lakes later today. Nonetheless, strong surface heating has
    steepened 0-2 km lapse rates and up to 1500 J/kg MLCAPE is now
    analyzed in western NY and around 500 J/kg in northern VT/NH. A
    skinny CAPE profile as a product of the poor mid- to upper-level
    lapse rates will tend to limit momentum transfer from those layers
    to the surface in the form of intense gusts. As a result, strong
    gusts are mainly expected with the more vigorous multicell cores and
    localized wind damage.
