Areas affected...Southeast PA...Central/Southern NJ...North-Central
MD...Northern DE
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 242...
Valid 031534Z - 031700Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 242
continues.
SUMMARY...Organized convective line continues to move quickly
southeastward across southeast PA. Damaging wind gusts will remain
possible as the line moves through the remainder of southeast PA and
into central/southern NJ.
DISCUSSION...Organized convective line continues to move quickly
southeastward across southeast PA. Recent storm motion was estimated
at 60 kt. This line is occurring within an environment characterized
by strong mid-level flow. Current mesoanalysis estimates over 50-60
kt 500-mb flow and the CCX VAD recently sampled over 50 kt at 2 km.
These strong westerly winds are contributing both to fast storm
motion as well as the potential for strong gusts within the line.
Downstream air mass across southeast PA and central/southern NJ is
warm, with temperatures in the low to mid 80s, and modestly moist
with dewpoints in low 60s. Somewhat warmer low to mid-level
temperatures are tempering the instability as well as contributing
to convective inhibition. As such, even with the strong flow aloft,
wind gusts might not reach the strength otherwise supported by the
kinematics. Even so, damaging wind gusts will be common along the
line as it continues into southeast PA and central/southern NJ.
There is at least some potential for the line to backbuild along its
southwestern flank into north-central MD, then continuing eastward
into northern DE. This would bring the potential for damaging wind
gusts into those areas.
