NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1223 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE NORTHEAST
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 211723Z - 211930Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT
SUMMARY...INCREASING STORM COVERAGE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND WILL NECESSITATE A WATCH.
DISCUSSION...RECENT COMPOSITE RADAR INDICATES INCREASING SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA ON THE LEADING
EDGE OF MID 70S DEWPOINTS AS THEY ADVECT NORTHWARD. MOST OF THIS
ACTIVITY IS MOVING AWAY FROM THE GREATER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY, BUT
CONTINUED NORTHWARD DESTABILIZATION IS ANTICIPATED. IN ADDITION,
BROKEN CLOUD COVER ACROSS SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY WILL
RESULT IN GREATER INSTABILITY WITHIN THIS ZONE. THE LEADING EDGE OF
A 50 KNOT MID-LEVEL JET (CENTERED AROUND 5-6KM) HAS BEEN SAMPLED BY
THE CCX VWP WITHIN THE LAST HALF AN HOUR. AS THIS OVERSPREADS THE
WARM SECTOR, SHEAR WILL BE IN PLACE FOR STORM ORGANIZATION,
INCLUDING SUPERCELLS. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT, BUT
SOME LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW
JERSEY, WHERE THE GREATER INSTABILITY IS IN PLACE. HOWEVER, AS THE
WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD, THE THREAT COULD EXTEND INTO
SOUTHEAST NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT THIS AFTERNOON.
