Mesoscale Discussion 1530 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1128 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Areas affected...parts of the Northeast and southern New England Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 011628Z - 011830Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...An isolated damaging wind threat from strong gusts is anticipated this afternoon across parts of the Northeast into southern New England. Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is possible if a more concentrated corridor of damaging winds becomes apparent. DISCUSSION...To the north of the favored region for scattered damaging winds across southern PA/NJ this afternoon, a more isolated and lower intensity threat is anticipated. With somewhat cooler surface temperatures, outside of the Lower Hudson Valley, amid similarly weak mid-level lapse rates, MLCAPE is expected to be more muted. But moderate to strong mid/upper-level speed shear will favor potential for semi-discrete convection and transient mid-level rotation, capable of small hail and generally isolated damaging winds. Bulk of morning guidance suggests a combination of lesser storm coverage and instability should modulate the overall wind threat. It is possible though that an uptick in convective intensity might occur if a cluster can approach the Lower Hudson Valley to southwest New England vicinity later this afternoon. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
