Valid 171959Z - 172200Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 516 continues. SUMMARY...The severe risk continues across WW516 with damaging wind as the primary threat. DISCUSSION...Storms continue to develop and move east-northeast from Pennsylvania into southern New England this afternoon. Per radar imagery, a mixed storm mode is evident with a few weaker, transient supercells observed along the northern/northeast portions of WW516 where shear is stronger (30-35 knots effective bulk shear). Storms are likely to develop south/east of current storms and merge throughout the afternoon and evening with some clustering and upscale growth likely. Damaging wind remains the primary severe threat as low-level lapse rates steepen due to insolation and with any QLCS that forms into the evening. The severe threat will diminish west to east later this afternoon and into the evening. ..Nauslar/Guyer.. 07/17/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
