    Mesoscale Discussion 0722

    Areas affected...portions of northwest PA...western into northern NY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely

    Valid 131930Z - 132030Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will move east from Ontario into western NY
    later this afternoon. Isolated severe hail/50-65mph winds will
    accompany the stronger thunderstorms. Lower thunderstorm
    coverage/lower confidence for severe thunderstorms is expected
    farther south in northern PA.

    DISCUSSION...Visible-satellite imagery shows a cumulus field over
    western NY into northwest PA as a thicker cloud shield
    dissipates/moves east into central NY. Recent subjective surface
    analysis indicated a moist axis extended from the OH Valley
    northeastward into northwest PA and western NY. Surface dewpoints
    within this corridor range from 66-70 degrees F and temperatures are
    warming into the lower 80s---effectively resulting in the
    development of moderate buoyancy (1500 J/kg MLCAPE) from the Finger
    Lakes southwestward into northwest PA.

    Water-vapor imagery also shows a well defined mid-level shortwave
    trough moving across the Great Lakes with a 70kt 500mb speed max
    moving east through the base of the trough over southeast Lower MI
    and southwest Ontario. As of 315pm EDT, 60kt westerly flow was
    sampled by the KBUF VAD, indicating the stronger mid-level flow is
    moving into far western NY. With the strengthening flow and
    moderate buoyancy, organized multicells and supercells are possible
    with the primary hazards being isolated hail/damaging winds. The
    veered southwesterly flow in the low levels will likely limit the
    potential tornado risk with any supercell.
