MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1106
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1248 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 121748Z - 121945Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND A RISK OF OCCASIONAL
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC
AND NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
DISCUSSION...LATEST REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTS ONGOING
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND
NORTHEAST ALONG A SURFACE COLD FRONT AND PREFRONTAL TROUGH. THIS
ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING AS WEAK MID-LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS BEGIN TO
OVERSPREAD THE REGION AHEAD OF A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
PROGRESSING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. WHILE MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES WILL REMAIN WEAK, STRONG SURFACE HEATING AND DEWPOINTS AROUND
70 F WILL SUPPORT 1000 TO LOCALLY 2000+ J/KG MLCAPE BY PEAK HEATING
THIS AFTERNOON AS CONVECTION EVOLVES EASTWARD. WHILE STRONGER
DEEP-LAYER FLOW WILL REMAIN DISPLACED TO THE NORTH, MODEST MID-LEVEL
WESTERLIES OF 25-35 KTS AND STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR MULTICELL CLUSTERS CAPABLE OF OCCASIONAL
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. CURRENTLY, THE GREATEST POTENTIAL APPEARS
LIKELY TO MANIFEST ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT AREAS
WHERE THE BEST OVERLAP OF MODESTLY STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW AND
GREATER BUOYANCY MAY DEVELOP.
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE
DISCUSSION AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS TO COVER THESE THREATS.
MORE UNCERTAINTY EXISTS REGARDING WATCH ISSUANCE FARTHER SOUTH INTO
SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY WHERE LATEST
GUIDANCE INDICATES A RELATIVE MINIMUM IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE COULD
OCCUR.
