   VALID 280245Z - 280345Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 244
   CONTINUES.
   
   AS OF 0245Z...N/S-ORIENTED QLCS PERSISTS ACROSS CNTRL NY FROM SAINT
   LAWRENCE TO DELAWARE COUNTIES WITH A HISTORY OF DAMAGING WIND
   REPORTS. ALTHOUGH RECENT RADAR TRENDS HAVE DEPICTED GREATER LEADING
   STRATIFORM RAINFALL...A MARGINAL RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD
   PERSIST DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE LINE INTERCEPTS AN AXIS OF
   LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE HUDSON VALLEY.
   
   FARTHER W...DESPITE THE DEARTH OF INSTABILITY PRESENT ON THE 00Z PIT
   RAOB...LOW-LEVEL WARM THETA-E ADVECTION DOWNSTREAM OF THE MIDWEST
   SHORT WAVE TROUGH HAS LIKELY AIDED IN RENEWED TSTM DEVELOPMENT
   ACROSS WRN/CNTRL PA. GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF VERY STRONG LOW-LEVEL
   SHEAR...ACTIVITY MAY INCREASE IN INTENSITY AS IT DEVELOPS INTO A
   WARMER/MOISTER AIR MASS ACROSS CNTRL/ERN PA. A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED
   TO ADDRESS THIS WITH ALL SEVERE THREATS POSSIBLE.
