AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA INTO NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND
FAR SOUTHERN NEW YORK
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 525...
VALID 281830Z - 282030Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 525
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A COUPLE OF CORRIDORS OF RELATIVELY GREATER SEVERE WIND
POTENTIAL HAVE EMERGED ACROSS PORTIONS OF WW 525. THESE CORRIDORS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY AXES FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS.
DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADAR AND VELOCITY IMAGERY DEPICTS A
CONSOLIDATING COLD POOL WITHIN A LOOSELY ORGANIZED MCS ACROSS FAR
EASTERN PA AND NORTHERN NJ. THIS LINE HAS REACHED SUFFICIENT
INTENSITY TO PRODUCE 50 MPH GUSTS (RECENTLY MEASURED AT KABE), AND
WILL CONTINUE TO RESIDE WITHIN A THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT ADEQUATE
FOR MCS MAINTENANCE FOR AT LEAST NEXT 1-2 HOURS (MLCAPE REMAINS NEAR
1000 J/KG DOWNSTREAM WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING INTO THE 80S).
MARGINAL DEEP-LAYER WIND SHEAR AND A RELATIVELY NARROW EFFECTIVE
WARM SECTOR SHOULD MODULATE OVERALL STORM INTENSITY, BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS SHOULD PERSIST DOWNSTREAM. LOCAL
EXPANSIONS OF WW 525 HAVE BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THIS POTENTIAL.
FURTHER WEST, A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL PA HAS
DISPLAYED SIGNS OF A SLOWLY DEEPENING AND ORGANIZING COLD POOL.
IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM, A NARROW CORRIDOR OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES HAS
ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE LOW 80S AND MLCAPE TO INCREASE
TO NEAR 1500 J/KG. THIS MORE BUOYANT AIR MASS, COUPLED WITH AROUND
25 KNOTS OF 0-6 KM BWD SAMPLED BY KCCX, MAY PROMOTE FURTHER
ORGANIZATION/INTENSIFICATION OF THE EMERGING LINE OVER THE NEXT 1-2
HOURS WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS.
