The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 483
continues.
SUMMARY...Primary severe potential, from isolated to scattered
damaging winds, will be largely focused across central/eastern Maine
and far southeast New Hampshire. Potential exists for a separate
area of storms over the Champlain Valley to intensify downstream
later this afternoon.
DISCUSSION...A broken thin band of quasi-linear convection is
ongoing from northern ME to the NH/MA border area. The recent
consolidation into linear structures should modulate the earlier
large hail threat. But this will support an increasing damaging wind
risk as storms impinge on a warm/unstable boundary layer downstream.
Low to mid 80s surface temperatures combined with dew points holding
in the low to mid 60s is yielding modest buoyancy with MLCAPE of
500-1500 J/kg. Strong gusts will be possible as this initial round
spreads off the coast/into NB.
Farther west, stabilization in the wake of this leading convection
will yield a lull in severe potential. But the primary lobe of
ascent supporting convection across the Champlain Valley into QC
should spread across at least northern VT/NH into western ME through
late afternoon. There should be an adequate gap of destabilization
between the two regimes for a marginal severe threat, although there
is below-average confidence on whether sufficient recovery will
occur for a scattered damaging wind threat.
