   CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION IN AREAS AFFECTED

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 529
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts and maybe a brief tornado
   will continue across the region for the next hour or two.

   DISCUSSION...Shallow convective line extending from the northernmost
   NY/VT border to the NY Hudson Valley continues to move
   east-northeastward at about 30-35 kt. Only modest changes in the
   thermodynamic environment preceding the line have occurred over the
   past hour or so, with much of the area still characterized by
   temperatures in the mid/upper 70s and dewpoints in the low/mid 60s.
   A pocket of somewhat higher low-level moisture exists across far
   northern VT, where mesoanalysis estimated MLCAPE is around 500 J/kg.
   Additionally, the wind profile across the region remains supportive
   of low-level rotation, particularly across northern VT. Recent VAD
   from CXX sampled over 350 m2/s2 of 0-1 km storm-relative helicity
   and over 500 m2/s2 of 0-3 km storm-relative helicity. These
   conditions suggest the threat for damaging wind gusts and maybe even
   a brief tornado will continue for the next hour or two before
   limited instability likely leads to a diminished threat across New
   England.
