MD 2099 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN MAINE
Mesoscale Discussion 2099
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0450 PM CDT Thu Sep 07 2023
Areas affected…portions of western Maine
Concerning…Severe potential…Watch unlikely
Valid 072150Z – 072315Z
Probability of Watch Issuance…20 percent
SUMMARY…Damaging gusts may accompany a small multicell cluster
across western ME over the next couple of hours. Areal coverage is
expected to be a limited with this storm cluster and a WW issuance
is not anticipated.
DISCUSSION…A small MCS is traversing the NH/Canada border, and is
propagating eastward toward far western ME, where 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE
resides. MRMS mosaic radar shows some slight bowing with the
leading-line reflectivity, indicative of an appreciable cold pool
contributing to forward propagation. Continued downbursts will both
sustain the cold pool and promote damaging gust potential for at
least the next couple of hours. Since the severe wind threat should
remain isolated and spatially confined to the counties closest to
the border, a WW issuance is not expected.
