AREAS AFFECTED...LOWER HUDSON VALLEY INTO THE DE RIVER VALLEY

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 272204Z - 272330Z

POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL
AND/OR DAMAGING WINDS WILL EXIST E OF WW 555 THIS EVENING. THIS
THREAT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY ISOLATED AND AN ADDITIONAL
WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

AS OF 2150Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED A CONVECTIVE LINE
SEGMENT FROM SCHOHARIE COUNTY NY SWD TO PIKE COUNTY PA...WHILE A
MORE CONTINUOUS TSTM LINE WAS NOTED FROM NEAR BHM TO BWI. WHILE
INDIVIDUAL CELLS ARE MOVING NNE AT 25-30 KT...THE LINES THEMSELVES
ARE MOVING MORE SLOWLY EWD AT 15-20 KT. SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATING
AROUND UPPER LOW SITUATED OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES APPEARS TO BE
PROVIDING BACKGROUND LARGE-SCALE ASCENT FOR ONGOING STORMS WITH
THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY RELATIVELY STEEP
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND MLCAPES OF AROUND 1000 J/KG.

REGIONAL VWPS INDICATE THAT VERTICAL SHEAR IS NOT PARTICULARLY
STRONG AND THIS COUPLED WITH THE MARGINAL MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT E OF WW 555. STILL...MORE INTENSE STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL AND/OR LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
THROUGH 01-02Z.
