[html]MD 1648 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTH-CENTRAL PA INTO SOUTHERN/CENTRAL NY
Mesoscale Discussion 1648
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1119 AM CDT Thu Aug 04 2022
Areas affected...North-central PA into southern/central NY
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 041619Z - 041815Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Locally damaging winds are possible as thunderstorms
spread northeastward this afternoon.
DISCUSSION...An arc of convection has moved from western into
north-central PA through the morning, with occasional 30-35 kt gusts
noted. While deep-layer shear is generally weak across the region,
unidirectional southwesterly flow may be sufficient to maintain
loosely organized convection in association with this arc and
related cold pool as it moves northeastward into a destabilizing
environment, with an attendant threat of locally damaging wind
gusts. Additional storm development is expected downstream into
parts of southern/central NY this afternoon, which may also pose a
localized damaging wind threat as low-level lapse rates steepen with
time. With the threat expected to remain relatively isolated and
disorganized, watch issuance is considered unlikely.
