A watch is likely. DISCUSSION...Strong heating has occurred across the area this morning/early afternoon ahead of minor perturbations moving across Ohio in southwesterly flow aloft. Consequently, modest destabilization is occurring in the presence of upper 60s F dewpoints, resulting in around 1000 J/kg of MLCAPE per the latest mesoanalysis. The VAD profile at PBZ indicates that midlevel flow is around 40 knots, which should support at least brief updraft organization/rotation. Thunderstorms associated with midlvel perturbations are beginning to intensify across southern Ohio and should continue to organize they move into a more favorable environment to the northeast. In addition, more isolated/discrete storms may also form out ahead in the warm sector, as the warm front continues to retreat northward. These storms will primarily pose a threat of damaging winds, but the low-level shear is also sufficient to support the potential for a brief tornado or two. ..Jirak/Guyer.. 07/11/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
