    Mesoscale Discussion 0350

    Areas affected...Portions of northern NY...VT...NH...and far western
    ME

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

    Valid 041818Z - 041945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...The threat for a few tornadoes is increasing this
    afternoon, and damaging winds will become likely with a line of
    thunderstorms moving in from the west. Tornado watch issuance is
    likely.

    DISCUSSION...A sub-996 mb surface low over Lake Michigan as of 18Z
    will continue developing northeastward into southern Ontario/Quebec
    this afternoon as a compact mid-level shortwave trough evident on
    water vapor satellite imagery moves over the same general area.
    Recent subjective surface analysis shows a warm front extending
    eastward from the low across northern NY/VT into central NH. A moist
    low-level airmass characterized by dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s
    exists to the south of the front. Current expectations are for the
    warm front to lift northward to the international border through the
    remainder of the afternoon. Even though some mid/high-level clouds
    are present across this region, filtered diurnal heating has allowed
    surface temperatures to warm into the mid to upper 70s across
    central NY. Although mid-level lapse rates remain generally modest
    (around 6-6.5 degrees C/km in the 700-500 mb layer), they are
    sufficient coupled with the diurnal heating to support MLCAPE up to
    1000 J/kg this afternoon and early evening.

    A very strong mid-level jet of 80-100+ kt will overspread this
    region through peak heating, and effective bulk shear values of
    50-70 kt will strongly favor updraft rotation with any thunderstorms
    that can form along the warm front or within the open warm sector.
    The threat for a few tornadoes should be focused along and just
    south of the warm front, namely northern NY into VT and parts of NH,
    where effective SRH values will likely exceed 250 m2/s2.

    Damaging winds, perhaps widespread, will also be a substantial
    concern as a line of thunderstorms will likely move from west to
    east across this region through 02-03Z along/ahead of a cold front.

    Areas affected...Eastern ohio...Western Pennsylvania...and far
    southwest New York

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch needed soon

    Valid 142157Z - 142300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A downstream tornado watch will be needed soon across
    western Pennsylvania and far southwest New York.

    DISCUSSION...A line of storms have developed along a pre-frontal
    trough across Ohio ahead of a 990mb surface low analyzed between
    Columbus and Akron. The strongest storms may be producing damaging
    winds at this time. A 20Z PIT sounding is a good proximity sounding
    for the environment ahead of these storms. Buoyancy is quite weak
    with MLCAPE only around 200 J/kg substituting current surface
    observations into the 20Z sounding. Clearing ahead of these storms
    may allow temperatures to warm slightly during the next hour, but as
    the boundary layer deepens, surface dewpoints may fall a few degrees
    due to mixing which would keep buoyancy weak into the evening.
    However, despite this meager instability, the wind profile remains
    very supportive of all severe weather hazards with effective shear
    around 70 knots and 0 to 1 km SRH over 500 m2/s2. This threat will
    likely be maximized near the warm front in northern Pennsylvania and
    southern New York where backed surface flow, and higher dewpoints
    are expected to remain. South of the Pennsylvania border, dewpoints
    have mixed into the mid 50s which has limited instability to less
    than 100 J/kg which has greatly reduced the severe threat.
