Areas affected...southern New England

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 082044Z - 082215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and damaging wind gusts
continues across southern New England.

DISCUSSION...A large supercell has developed in southern
Massachusetts where temperatures have warmed into the mid 70s with
dewpoints in the mid 60s. This has yielded 500 to 750 J/kg MLCAPE.
Despite this relatively weak instability, storm organization due to
70 knots of 0-6km shear (per BOX VWP), has been sufficient for
supercell maintenance. This intense storm will continue to pose a
severe wind and large hail threat as it moves east and the
downstream environment continues to destabilize ahead of it. In
addition, some storms are starting to develop to the west of this
supercell on the trailing outflow. Given a similarly warm and
unstable environment, one or two more strong to severe storms may
form and move along this outflow boundary this afternoon/evening.
