    Mesoscale Discussion 1586
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1118 PM CDT Mon Oct 15 2018

    Areas affected...East-central and southern NJ into DE

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 160418Z - 160615Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A fast-moving low-topped band of showers may produce minor
    wind damage to mainly trees across east-central and southern New
    Jersey and Delaware during the next 1-2 hours (through 1-2 AM EDT),
    before moving off the Atlantic coast.

    DISCUSSION...At 0410Z, radar imagery showed a low-topped band of
    showers extending from northeast to southwest NJ (Monmouth to Salem
    Counties, respectively) to northern DE and the northern Chesapeake
    Bay area. This band of showers is moving to the east at 40 kt,
    while VWP data across the discussion area indicated strong westerly tropospheric winds, including 50-kt at 0.5-km above radar level.
    Trends in surface observations across DE into central NJ since 02Z
    indicated rising temperatures ahead of the convective band.
    Modifying the 00Z Wallops Island sounding with surface data at KACY
    resulted in buoyancy extending high enough for potential lightning
    production. Objective analyses showed ongoing destabilization ahead
    of the band of convection, with MUCAPE around 500 J/kg. Given these
    factors combined with the fast forward speed and strength of the
    winds just off the surface, a few locally strong wind gusts cannot
    be ruled out as the convective line advances eastward through
    0430-06Z.
