AREAS AFFECTED...WESTERN NY
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 645...
VALID 022136Z - 022300Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 645 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...POTENTIAL FOR INTENSE/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IS INCREASING
ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. A TORNADO OR TWO
AND LARGE HAIL ALSO COULD ACCOMPANY CONVECTION MOVING INTO THE AREA
IN THE 22Z-23Z/6PM-7PM EDT TIME PERIOD.
DISCUSSION...TWO AREA OF INTENSE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO QUICKLY
MOVE EAST/SOUTHEAST FROM ONTARIO INTO WESTERN NY OVER THE NEXT 1-2
HOURS. BOTH AREAS OF CONVECTION ARE WELL ORGANIZED, POSING A RISK
FOR LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO GIVEN A FAVORABLE
SUPERCELL ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, THE WESTERNMOST CELL SOUTHWEST OF
TORONTO INDICATES PARTICULARLY INTENSE WINDS ALOFT IN KBUF RADAR
IMAGERY, SUGGESTING AN STRONG BOWING STRUCTURE COULD BE DEVELOPING.
THIS STORM IS ALSO TRACKING EASTWARD AT AROUND 60 KT. GIVEN MLCAPE
UP TO 2000-3000 J/KG, 40+ KT EFFECTIVE SHEAR MAGNITUDES AND
FAVORABLE STORM MODE, THE RISK FOR INTENSE, DAMAGING GUSTS COULD
INCREASE ACROSS WESTERN NY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. ADDITIONALLY, A
VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S, AND EFFECTIVE
STP NEAR 2 WITHIN A FAVORABLY SHEARED LOW-LEVEL KINEMATIC
ENVIRONMENT SUGGESTS A TORNADO OR TWO ALSO IS POSSIBLE.
