    Areas affected...Portions of northern NY into VT

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

    Valid 071736Z - 072000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A gradual increase in the threat for damaging winds and
    hail should occur with storms this afternoon. However, the need for
    a watch in the short term remains uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...Convection is gradually developing early this afternoon
    across parts of northern NY into VT. Modest ascent associated with a
    weak mid-level vorticity maximum/perturbation evident in water vapor
    satellite imagery over this area may be aiding this activity. A
    moist and unstable airmass, with MLCAPE already around 1500-2000
    J/kg per latest mesoanalysis estimates, is present. Additional
    increases in boundary-layer instability appear probable this
    afternoon with continued diurnal heating.

    Recent VWPs from KCXX show modest low-level southerly flow gradually
    veering and strengthening with height through 0-6 km AGL.
    Corresponding deep-layer shear remains relatively weak, generally
    20-25 kt. Still, this may be sufficient for some updraft
    organization. Given the presence of somewhat steepened mid-level
    lapse rates, marginally severe hail may occur with initially more
    discrete activity, along with isolated damaging downdraft winds. The
    potential for a more organized and consolidated cluster of
    thunderstorms posing a greater threat for damaging winds may be
    delayed until convection farther south across the Mid-Atlantic
    spreads northeastward into NY and New England later this afternoon
    and evening. Even so, convective trends will be closely monitored
    for signs of increasing thunderstorm coverage and intensity, which
    may eventually prompt watch issuance.
