    Mesoscale Discussion 1432
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1220 PM CDT Thu Sep 06 2018

    Areas affected...Central and eastern Pennsylvania...Far southeast
    New York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 061720Z - 061945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind gusts are likely the main threat
    with the stronger storms. A WW issuance is not anticipated at this
    time.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has recently grown upscale into an organized
    linear segment roughly from Jefferson to Westmoreland Counties PA,
    with a forward eastward propagation noted. In addition, more
    cellular convection has recently initiated ahead of the line, as
    well as to the north of the line across northern
    Pennsylvania/southeast New York. Current thinking is that the
    convective line will merge with other, more slowly moving discrete
    cells to the east, with continued upscale growth likely during the
    next several hours.

    With deep-layer ascent associated with a glancing shortwave trough
    and cold front remaining to the north, convection is expected to
    remain more isolated in central Pennsylvania, with a greater
    concentration of storms possible in northern/northeastern
    Pennsylvania over the next several hours. The ambient environment is
    relatively moist in the lowest 100 mb, with around 7+ C/km sfc-3km
    lapse rates prevalent, yielding up to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE across the
    discussion area. Tropospheric flow is mainly unidirectional, with
    around 25-30 knots of bulk effective speed shear noted. As such,
    mainly multicell and linear storm clusters are expected to be the
    dominant modes of convection. As mid-level lapse rates are rather
    modest (i.e 5.5-6.0 C/km), with poor speed/directional low-level
    shear (denoted by less than 50 m2/s2 0-3km SRH in RAP point forecast soundings), isolated damaging wind gusts originating from wet
    downbursts are expected to be the primary threat with the stronger
    storms, particularly in areas where greatest upscale growth and cold
    pool development occur.

    Given the expected isolated and marginal extent of the severe
    threat, a WW issuance is not expected.
