    Mesoscale Discussion 1222
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1045 AM CDT Fri Aug 03 2018

    Areas affected...southeast and east-central NY...western
    MA...southern VT/NH...far southern ME

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 031545Z - 031745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated 45-60 mph gusts, in turn capable of localized
    wind damage, are possible this afternoon from southeast NY
    northeastward into southern ME. It remains unclear whether a severe thunderstorm watch will be needed based on storm coverage and
    magnitude of the overall threat.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows a swelling cumulus
    field over the lower Hudson Valley into southern New England.
    Surface analysis indicates temperatures have warmed to around 80
    degrees per NY Mesonet data and into the middle 80s near coastal
    NH/ME. A seasonably moist airmass was sampled this morning by the
    Chatham, MA 12z raob with a lowest 100mb mean mixing ratio around
    16g/kg. Modifying this sounding shows around 1100 J/kg MLCAPE. The
    KALB VAD indicates 30-40 kt flow in the 3-6km ARL layer and is
    resulting in 30-45 kt 0-6 km shear per objective analysis with the
    higher magnitudes located over the VT/NH/ME corridor.

    Isolated thunderstorms have developed near the differential heating
    boundary (delimited by the low-cloud shield) from southeast NY
    northeastward into southern VT/NH. Additional thunderstorms are
    likely to develop over the next 1-3 hours as convective inhibition
    erodes due to additional heating. Primarily multicell clusters
    capable of an isolated risk for 45-60 mph gusts will pose a damaging
    wind hazard with the stronger storms.
