Areas affected...Portions of southern New England

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 141352Z - 141545Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...The potential for damaging winds with a small cluster of thunderstorms remains unclear this morning. Trends will be monitored
for possible watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...A small cluster of thunderstorms ongoing over southern
New England is probably tied to modest low-level warm advection and
a subtle mid-level perturbation embedded within southwesterly flow
aloft extending over much of the Northeast. The airmass downstream
of this convection is not particularly unstable this morning, with
considerable MLCIN still present per latest mesoanalysis estimates,
and by modifying the 12Z OKX sounding for current surface
observations. Even so, enhanced mid/upper-level flow noted on the
VWP from KBOX is contributing to around 30-40 kt of deep-layer
shear, which should continue to foster updraft organization with the
cluster as it moves eastward across parts of southern New England
over the next couple of hours. The main uncertainty is whether the
ongoing thunderstorms will remain slightly elevated, or become
surface based with additional daytime heating and modest increases
in boundary-layer instability. If the cluster can become surface
based, then scattered damaging winds would be possible across parts
of CT, RI, and MA. While not immediately likely, convective trends
will be closely monitored for possible watch issuance this morning.
