0936 AM CDT MON OCT 07 2013

AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL AND ERN NY/NJ/ERN PA/DE/ERN MD/ERN VA

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 543...

VALID 071436Z - 071630Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 543 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO
CONTINUES WITH A RAPIDLY MOVING CONVECTIVE LINE CROSSING NY/PA/MD/VA
ATTM.

DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A COMPLEX LINE OF CONVECTION
STRETCHING FROM ERN LK ONTARIO SWD INTO CENTRAL NC...ADVANCING
THROUGH AN ENVIRONMENT FEATURING MEAGER INSTABILITY AT BEST BUT VERY
STRONG DEEP-LAYER WINDS. THE CONVECTION IS ONGOING NEAR A STRONG
COLD FRONT -- MOVING QUICKLY EWD IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN
ENERGETIC/NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER SHORT-WAVE TROUGH PROGRESSING EWD
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES/UPPER OH VALLEY REGION.

GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE LARGE-SCALE ASCENT FOCUSED NEAR THE
SURFACE FRONT IN CONJUNCTION WITH 50 TO 60 KT FLOW IN THE 850 TO 500
MB LAYER...EXPECT THE FORCED LINE OF CONVECTION TO CONTINUE MARCHING
EWD -- ACCOMPANIED BY A RISK FOR STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS.
ADDITIONALLY...ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC VORTICITY -- PARTICULARLY WITHIN
CHAOTIC LOW-LEVEL FLOW FIELD NEAR ONGOING/FAST-MOVING CONVECTION --
MAY RESULT IN A COUPLE OF BRIEF TORNADIC SPIN-UPS WHICH WOULD
LOCALLY ENHANCE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE.
