...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHEAST...AND FROM SOUTHEAST WY INTO EASTERN CO...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind and perhaps a couple
of tornadoes will be possible over portions of the Northeast on
Sunday. Thunderstorms capable of hail and locally severe wind gusts
will also be possible from southeast Wyoming into eastern Colorado
Sunday afternoon and evening.
...Synopsis...
Little substantive change is expected to the large-scale pattern on
Sunday, with an upper trough remaining over much of the
central/eastern CONUS, while an upper ridge persists over most of
the West. A surface low somewhere over the OH Valley/Lower Great
Lakes at the start of the period is forecast to move northeastward
into Quebec by Monday morning, as an attendant warm front moves
northward across New England. T.C. Isaias is currently forecast by
NHC to remain offshore through the period, though potentially
approaching some portion of the SC/NC coast by Monday morning.
...Northeast...
Organized convection will again be possible in association with the
northeastward-moving cyclone on Sunday, as moderate low/mid-level
flow and rich low-level moisture overspread portions of the
Northeast. Considerable uncertainty remains regarding how this
scenario will evolve, but supercells and/or organized bowing
segments will be possible, with an attendant risk of locally
damaging wind. Some tornado potential will also be present in the
vicinity of the retreating surface warm front as it moves northward
through the day. Some portion of this region may require an upgrade
once details come into better focus.
...High Plains...
Post-frontal upslope flow is forecast to advect modest low-level
moisture into southeast WY and the CO Front Range and the adjacent
High Plains, resulting in the development of moderate instability by
afternoon. North-northwesterly midlevel flow on the eastern
periphery of the ridge will support effective shear of 30-40 kt,
sufficient to support organized convection including a few
supercells. Large hail and locally severe wind gusts will be the
primary hazards.
...Southeast Coast...
Refer to NHC for the latest updates/forecast for T.C. Isaias. The
current forecast track keeps Isaias offshore through the end of the
period, though this track would potentially result in some outer
bands reaching the coast prior to the end of the period Monday
morning. Uncertainty remains too high to introduce probabilities at
this time.
