AREAS AFFECTED...EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...SOUTHERN NEW YORK...AND

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 448...
VALID 032231Z - 040030Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 448
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WINDS IS INCREASING ACROSS
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, SOUTHERN NEW YORK (INCLUDING THE NEW YORK CITY
METRO), AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AS STORMS APPROACH THE COAST.
DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY FROM KBGM AND KDIX DEPICT AN
INITIALLY BROKEN BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO SHOW THE EARLY
SIGNS OF COLD POOL AMALGAMATION AND UPSCALE GROWTH. CONCURRENTLY,
INCREASING MRMS VIL VALUES AND COOLING CLOUD-TOP TEMPERATURES HAVE
BEEN OBSERVED OVER THE PAST HOUR, FURTHER HINTING THAT
ORGANIZATION/INTENSIFICATION IS OCCURRING. MORE RECENTLY, A 75 MPH
GUST WAS OBSERVED AT SCRANTON, PA.
REGIONAL VWPS FROM CENTRAL NY HAVE BEEN SAMPLING FAIRLY STRONG
(40-50 KNOT) MID-LEVEL WINDS THAT ARE SUPPORTING STRONGER DEEP-LAYER
WIND SHEAR THAN DEPICTED BY RECENT RAP MESOANALYSES, AND IS LIKELY
PROMOTING THE RECENT INTENSIFICATION TREND. CONSEQUENTLY, GIVEN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A DEEPER/MORE COHESIVE COLD POOL AND STRONG
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IN PROXIMITY TO ONGOING CONVECTION, IT SEEMS LIKELY
THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WINDS (MOST LIKELY 55-75 MPH) WILL
PERSIST DOWNSTREAM FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS STORMS APPROACH
THE COAST. BASED ON LATEST STORM TRACKS, THIS BAND SHOULD REACH THE
NY/NJ COAST WITHIN THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS.
