    Mesoscale Discussion 1065
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1049 AM CDT Tue Jul 17 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of southern New England and the
    Mid-Atlantic

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 171549Z - 171745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A gradual increase in damaging wind potential is expected
    through this afternoon. Thunderstorm trends are being monitored for
    potential watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Ahead of a weak shortwave trough advancing over the
    Appalachians, convection continues to deepen from eastern
    Pennsylvania to the Hudson Valley late this morning. Downstream of
    this activity, surface temperatures are rising into the mid/upper
    80s, while dew points hold in the lower/mid 70s. Adjusting the 12Z
    ALB/OKX soundings for these observations suggests around 1500-2000
    J/kg of MLCAPE is present, despite poor mid-level lapse rates.
    Storms should continue to form within a weakly confluent, uncapped
    environment along/ahead of a pre-frontal trough, and storms mergers
    will likely favor localized upscale growth/bowing. In conjunction
    with steepening 0-1 km lapse rates and approximately 20-30 kt of
    westerly mid-level flow, this convective evolution may support
    occasional strong/damaging gusts into this afternoon. If
    thunderstorm coverage/organization warrants, a watch may be needed
    by early/mid afternoon.
