   Mesoscale Discussion 1381
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0545 PM CDT Sun Aug 02 2020

   Areas affected...Western New England and Northern Mid-Atlantic

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 410...

   Valid 022245Z - 030045Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 410 continues.

   SUMMARY...Storm coverage has remained isolated across WW 410. This
   trend is expected to continue this evening. Where storms can mature,
   such as near the NY/MA/CT border, damaging wind gusts and a tornado
   or two will be possible.

   DISCUSSION...Storm coverage within WW 410 has remained quite
   isolated. With the strongest forcing for ascent north of the
   Canadian border, this is not likely to change significantly this
   evening. A cluster of storms has developed within the last hour and
   a half near the NY/MA/CT border vicinity. One of those storms in
   northwestern CT has exhibited persistent mid-level rotation and a
   brief TDS around 6 PM EDT. These storms exist within a baroclinic
   zone where effective SRH is maximized. While poor low-level lapse
   rates may hinder stronger low-level rotation, any mature supercell
   that enters this favorable environment would still be capable of
   producing a tornado. Farther north, cumulus have continued to slowly
   deepen in the western Adirondacks. There is remaining favorable
   environment within far northeaster NY near the international border.
   While buoyancy is somewhat more limited that far north, low-level
   winds remain slightly backed. Overall, storm coverage is expected to
   remain isolated with potential for damaging wind gusts and a tornado
   or two where storms can develop and mature. The threat is expected
   to diminish by 9-10 PM EDT.
