Mesoscale Discussion 1600
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0219 PM CDT Sun Jul 28 2019
Areas affected...Parts of southern New York into northern
Pennsylvania
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 281919Z - 282115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Scattered storms will continue to develop through the
afternoon, with a few damaging wind gusts possible with the more
organized storms. Given the isolated nature of the threat, a WW
issuance is not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...Deep-layer ascent associated with an upper level trough
glancing from the north, coincident with diurnal boundary layer
heating, has contributed to the recent thunderstorm development
across southern NY into PA over the past couple of hours. The warm,
moist boundary layer in place has resulted in modest buoyancy (up to
1500 J/kg MLCAPE). Still, unidirectional tropospheric flow and
little vertical speed shear suggests that storms will be loosely
organized, with single cells and multicellular clusters being the
predominant mode of convection. Given the relatively poor shear and
mid-level lapse rates, marginally severe wind gusts appear to be the
primary threat with these storms. The damaging wind threat is also
expected to be isolated in nature, and a WW issuance is not
expected.
