    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 555
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The damaging-wind threat may gradually increase into early
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...Late this afternoon, convection is gradually deepening
    along two corridors across parts of the Northeast/Mid Atlantic. The southernmost corridor is a broadly confluent zone from southwest PA
    into northern MD, within a region of somewhat greater low/midlevel
    moisture. Storms have been gradually intensifying along this
    corridor, where deep-layer shear is rather weak, but sufficient for
    a modestly organized cells/clusters capable of damaging wind in the
    presence of moderate buoyancy and steep low-level lapse rates. An
    uptick in the damaging-wind threat is possible along this corridor
    as storm coverage gradually increases into early evening.=20

    Farther north, increasing cumulus is noted along a diffuse surface
    boundary from western into northeast PA, with storms gradually
    developing from northeast to southwest. Deep-layer shear is
    generally rather weak in this area as well, though low/midlevel flow
    gradually increases with eastward extent, in closer proximity to a
    departing mid/upper-level shortwave trough across New England.
    Isolated storms may develop as far west as west-central PA, but
    somewhat greater coverage is expected across eastern PA into this
    evening. Steepened low-level lapse rates will support at least a
    localized damaging-wind threat with any stronger storms across this
    area.
