    Mesoscale Discussion 1064

    Areas affected...Portions of New England and southeast New York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

    Valid 171435Z - 171630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Bands of thunderstorms are expected to intensify through
    this afternoon, resulting in an increasing threat for damaging wind
    gusts. A watch will likely be issued within the next 1-2 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar data illustrate a broken band of
    thunderstorms extending from southern New Hampshire southwest
    towards the Hudson Valley late this morning. This cluster has
    persisted along the southeastern fringe of a subtle shortwave
    impulse (embedded within larger-scale cyclonic flow) over New
    England. Ahead of these storms, visible satellite suggests gradual
    low-level destabilization, evidenced by a slow decrease in wave
    clouds and an increase in boundary-layer cumulus. Amidst a very
    moist air mass (e.g., regional 12Z soundings sampled PWs around
    1.6-1.9"), further surface heating should promote MLCAPE values
    around 1000-2000 J/kg through this afternoon. In turn, thunderstorms
    are expected to further intensify over the next several hours.

    Relatively uni-directional deep-layer wind profiles, combined with
    30-40 kt of mid-level flow, will encourage lines of storms capable
    of damaging winds, especially this afternoon. Considering this
    growing severe potential, watch issuance will likely be needed.
