MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2110
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1217 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2008

AREAS AFFECTED...NRN NY...MUCH OF VT AND NH...WRN AND NRN ME

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 181717Z - 181845Z

SEVERE THREAT SHOULD SLOWLY INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF
ADVANCING UPPER TROUGH. WW MAY BE NEEDED.

STRONG HEATING IS UNDERWAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST/NEW ENGLAND...WITH
TEMPERATURES NOW NEAR/APPROACHING 80 IN MOST AREAS. THIS COMBINED
WITH DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE LOW 60S IS YIELDING GENERALLY 500 TO
1500 J/KG MIXED-LAYER CAPE -- WITH MOST UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE
NRN HALF OF NY AND INTO VT ATTM.

WHILE MODERATE/WSWLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS INDICATED ACROSS THIS
REGION...STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW REMAINS TO THE NW -- ACROSS
ONTARIO/QUEBEC -- CLOSER TO THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH.
HOWEVER...AS THE TROUGH ADVANCES SEWD WITH TIME...DEEP-LAYER SHEAR
WILL SLOWLY INCREASE -- BECOMING MORE SUPPORTIVE OF STORM
ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING. AS
INCREASING LARGE-SCALE UVV AND DESTABILIZING ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT
STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...SEVERE THREAT SHOULD
SLOWLY INCREASE -- POSSIBLY REQUIRING WW ISSUANCE.
