    Areas affected...southeastern New England

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

    Valid 131514Z - 131715Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A cluster of strong storms -- capable of producing
    gusty/damaging winds and marginal hail -- continues moving eastward
    across southern New England. WW issuance possible.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows an organized cluster of storms
    moving eastward across eastern Connecticut at around 30 kt. The
    storms are moving through an environment that is marginally
    unstable, but with some boundary-layer heating ongoing through a
    layer of high clouds overspreading the area, storms that are nearly surface-based at this point should become more solidly rooted within
    the boundary layer in the next hour or so.

    Morning OKX RAOB, and latest VWP from the KBOX WSR-88D show 34 to 45
    kt mid-level flow, atop a low-level profiled that veers weakly with
    height. This implies sufficient shear for a continuation of the
    organized convective cluster -- and associated potential for locally
    damaging wind gusts and marginal hail. Additionally, a brief
    tornado cannot be ruled out if cellular convection -- hinted at
    ahead of the main band at this time -- can become more robust. WW
    issuance remains uncertain, but we will continue to monitor in the
    short term.
