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.
