0222 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Areas affected...portions of northern MD...eastern PA...far southern
NY...NJ...and northern DE
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 251922Z - 252115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Sporadic strong wind gusts are possible with thunderstorms
this afternoon to early evening.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are gradually increasing in intensity
this afternoon along an eastward-advancing cold front oriented from
central NY/PA into western MD. Cloud cover has persisted most of
the day, but some cloud breaks have allowed temperatures to warm
into the mid-70s to near 80 F amid a moist boundary layer. Limited
heating and poor lapse rates will preclude stronger destabilization.
Nevertheless, supercell wind profiles are present, per regional VWP
data, but boundary-parallel flow will most favor line segments. Weak
instability (up to 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) could support sporadic
strong gusts, especially across southeast PA and vicinity where
stronger heating has occurred. Overall severe potential is expected
to remain low, but a stronger storm or two will be possible. A watch
is not expected at this time.
