THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 457, 459
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A CORRIDOR OF HIGHER SEVERE WIND POTENTIAL IS EMERGING
FROM EASTERN MARYLAND INTO DELAWARE, EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AND NEW
JERSEY. WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 55-70 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.
DISCUSSION...OVER THE PAST HOUR, TWO MORE PROMINENT CLUSTERS HAVE
EMERGED ACROSS SOUTHEAST PA AND MD WITH SUBSTANTIAL UPTICKS IN
LIGHTNING COUNTS AND STEADILY COOLING CLOUD-TOP TEMPERATURES NOTED
IN IR IMAGERY. AT THE SURFACE, BOTH OF THESE CLUSTERS HAVE PRODUCED
SEVERE WIND GUSTS AS THEY BEGIN TO IMPINGE ON A WARM AIR MASS WITH
STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES DOWNSTREAM FROM
THESE CLUSTERS HAVE BEGUN TO COOL DUE TO THE RECENT LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING, TEMPERATURES REMAIN IN THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH 25-30 F
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS NOTED AHEAD OF THE CLUSTERS AND SOUTH OF AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.
FURTHER COOLING/STABILIZATION IS EXPECTED, BUT MATURING COLD POOLS
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE CLUSTERS, COUPLED WITH SOMEWHAT STRONGER
MID-LEVEL FLOW WITH NORTH AND EASTWARD EXTENT, WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN
CONVECTIVE INTENSITIES AND MAY PROMOTE SOME DEGREE OF
INTENSIFICATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/SEVERE WINDS (MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 55-70 MPH)
SHOULD BE FOCUSED DOWNSTREAM INTO PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHEAST PA AND
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN NJ - MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY.
