Concerning…Tornado Watch 617…
Valid 092057Z – 092230Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 617 continues.
SUMMARY…Locally damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado or two remain
possible across portions of Tornado Watch 617 in this evening.
DISCUSSION…A band of low-topped thunderstorms is tracking eastward
across portions of eastern NY this afternoon, though weak
instability has generally limited updraft intensity thus far.
However, very strong west-southwesterly deep-layer flow/shear could
still support locally damaging gusts if any updrafts within the line
are able to mature. And, with around 400 m2/s2 effective SRH ahead
of the convection, a brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out.
