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. ..Squitieri/Hart.. 07/28/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
