Watch issuance unlikely. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development is expected to continue through the afternoon across portions of New England amid a modestly unstable air mass. Daytime heating and dew points in the mid 50s to low 60s have resulted in MLCAPE values around 500-1000 J/kg. An increase in cumulus across convergence near the higher terrain has been observed, with a few cells developing. Forcing from a weak shortwave will help further increase thunderstorm coverage through the afternoon. Storm mode will likely be a mix of clusters, given weak shear profiles and best flow largely behind a cold front well to the north. Sounding analysis shows inverted V profiles with drier air in the low-levels, suggestive of potential for a few microbursts and marginal threat of severe wind. Given the more sporadic and isolated nature of this threat, a watch is not being considered. ..Thornton/Grams.. 06/02/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
