...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND AND THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible across southern New
England as well as portions of the southern High Plains on Monday.
...Southern New England...
Moisture will remain limited in advance of a progressive shortwave
trough and its attendant cold front Monday with near-surface
dewpoints generally in the upper 30s to low 40s F. However, cold air
aloft with -26 C at 500 mb and likelihood of some diabatic warming
of the surface layer should result in MLCAPE from 300-400 J/kg.
Shallow thunderstorms are expected to develop along and just ahead
of the front toward mid day in association with deeper ascent
accompanying the vorticity maximum. Vertical shear and wind profiles
within the convective layer will be modest and supportive of
multicells. However, a few locally strong wind gusts and small hail
might accompany the stronger storms through mid afternoon.
...Southern High Plains...
A slow-moving shortwave trough currently approaching western AZ will
reach the southern High Plains Monday afternoon. Preceding this
feature, dewpoints in the upper 40s to low 50s F will advect through
the High Plains warm sector beneath steep lapse rates. As the
surface layer warms, a corridor of MLCAPE up to 1000 J/kg will
likely evolve. Numerous storms are expected to develop over the
mountains of NM through southwest TX during the afternoon and spread
east through eastern NM and west TX. Activity may eventually
congeal into line segments during the evening. Wind profiles will
remain modest with 25-35 kt effective bulk shear supportive of
multicells. However, the thermodynamic environment will support some
threat for a few instances of locally strong to damaging wind gusts
and hail through early evening.
