   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE NORTHEAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated wind damage will be possible this afternoon across parts of
   the Northeast.

   ...Northeast...
   Within the base of an eastward-moving large-scale trough over the
   eastern CONUS, a related 100+ kt midlevel jet streak will pivot
   eastward across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast today. Ascent in the
   left-exit region of the jet will promote widely scattered,
   low-topped convection across the Northeast through the afternoon.
   Despite limited post-frontal boundary-layer moisture, diurnal
   heating beneath very cold midlevel temperatures will continue to
   steepen low-level lapse rates amid strengthening low/mid-level
   winds. This environment will support locally damaging convective
   wind gusts (45-60 mph) through the afternoon -- especially with any
   small clusters/lines that can evolve.  

   ...Four Corners into southern Colorado...
   Isolated high-based thunderstorms are expected across parts of the
   Four Corners and southern CO this afternoon, where midlevel moisture
   atop a diurnally deepening boundary layer will yield inverted-V
   profiles. As a result, a couple locally strong downbursts cannot be
   entirely ruled out.
