...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF
THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE NORTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible on Sunday from parts
of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic into the Ohio Valley.

...New England into the Ohio Valley...
An upper trough is forecast to gradually amplify from the Great
Lakes into the Northeast on Sunday. Guidance continues to vary with
the timing and amplitude of embedded shortwaves within the
larger-scale trough, but in general, one shortwave may move across
New England during the day, while another moves southeast over the
Great Lakes region during the afternoon/evening. A surface low is
generally forecast to move from the upper Great Lakes into southern
New England, as a trailing cold front moves through parts of the
Northeast into the Ohio Valley.

Depending on the potential influence of early-day convection,
moderate buoyancy may develop along/ahead of the cold front, and
thunderstorm development is expected as soon as late morning, with
increasing coverage into the afternoon. Moderate deep-layer shear
from the northern Mid Atlantic into southern New England will
support potential for organized convection, and a few stronger
cells/clusters may be capable of producing damaging wind and perhaps
some hail. A tornado also will be possible, if a supercell or two
can be sustained within moderately enhanced low-level flow/SRH.

Farther southwest, modest northwesterly flow aloft could support a
few strong to severe storms across the Ohio Valley during the
afternoon/evening, with an attendant threat of isolated damaging
wind and hail.
