Valid 302048Z - 302215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 326, 329 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for scattered damaging winds and isolated severe hail should focus across parts of central/southern New York into Massachusetts and vicinity over the next couple of hours. DISCUSSION...Two loosely organized clusters of storms are present this afternoon, one over far northeastern PA into central NY, and the other over western into central MA. Strong boundary-layer heating has occurred ahead of these storms, and rather steep low-level lapse rates around 8-9 C/km have developed downstream. This region remains on the southern fringe of the stronger mid-level westerly flow. Still, recent VWPs from KBGM and KENX show modestly strengthening westerly winds with height through mid levels, and around 30-40 kt of deep-layer shear remain present. Multicell clusters will likely continue to pose a threat for scattered damaging wind gusts. Some marginally severe hail may also occur, particularly with any embedded supercell within the cluster in western/central MA. It appears the greatest overall severe threat may focus across MA in the short term, where the best overlap of steep low-level lapse rates, moderate instability, and sufficient deep-layer shear overlap. ..Gleason.. 06/30/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
