SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1735 FOR NRN ME
   CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...
   
   VALID 182253Z - 190100Z
   
   SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED
   STRONG WIND GUSTS EXPECTED TO PERSIST ANOTHER 2-3 OVER PARTS OF NRN
   ME. 
   
   STORMS CONTINUE DEVELOPING WITHIN LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS ACROSS
   NRN ME. WV IMAGERY SHOWS SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL
   JET EJECTING ENEWD THROUGH SRN QUEBEC AND WRN NEW BRUNSWICK. THIS
   FEATURE IS ENHANCING LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR OVER
   ME. THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS MODERATELY UNSTABLE OVER NRN ME WITH
   MLCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS SUPPORTIVE OF A FEW
   SUPERCELL STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL AND
   ISOLATED STRONG WIND GUSTS. LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD BEGIN TO VEER
   LATER THIS EVENING AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH CONTINUES EWD. THIS IN
   CONJUNCTION WITH WEAKENING INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH COOLING
   BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD RESULT IN A GRADUAL WEAKENING TREND AFTER
   ANOTHER COUPLE HOURS.
