    Mesoscale Discussion 1387
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1219 PM CDT Wed Aug 29 2018

    Areas affected...Northern NY...Northern/Central VT

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 291719Z - 291915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A few damaging wind gusts may occur this afternoon as
    thunderstorm coverage increases over northern NY and
    northern/central VT.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue to gradually increase in
    coverage over eastern Ontario ahead of the approaching cold front.
    Current storm motion suggests these storms will likely reach the
    international border around 18 to 19Z. Visible satellite imagery
    also shows an increasingly agitated cu field over northern NY and northern/central VT, evidence of at least subtle lift amidst airmass destabilization. Continued diurnal heating over the next few hours
    will help push temperature to around 90 deg F while dewpoints remain
    in the low 70s. However, overall instability within this
    thermodynamically favorable low-level airmass will be tempered
    somewhat by warm mid-level temperatures and poor mid-level lapse
    rates.

    Mid-level flow will continue to increase across the region as the
    shortwave trough currently over central Ontario and the Upper Great
    Lakes progresses eastward. Resulting increase in vertical shear may
    support more updraft persistence and organization than would
    otherwise by anticipated within the marginal thermodynamic
    environment. Overall expectation is for predominately multicell
    storms along and ahead of the front but a few supercells are
    possible. Given the relatively fast storm motion and presence of
    around 40 kt of flow around in 1-2 km ARL layer (evidenced by the
    CCX VAD), the potential exist for a damaging wind gusts within the
    stronger, more persistent storms.
