    Areas affected...Parts of upstate NY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 281506Z - 281700Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Initially isolated thunderstorms should spread east into
    this afternoon and may increase in coverage sufficiently to warrant
    a downstream watch.

    DISCUSSION...A pair of deeper convective cells are ongoing, one
    moving into Livingston County and the other over southern Lake ON.
    The southern one lacked appreciable lightning detection for about 45
    minutes but developed a strong/tight mesocyclone with a TDS in
    Wyoming County. The background environment consists of weak
    low-level shear, suggesting that additional low-level mesocyclones
    may be limited. Nevertheless, strong mid to upper-level speed shear
    will be supportive of occasional mid-level updraft rotation as
    convection spreads east towards central NY through early afternoon.
    Downstream boundary-layer heating has been most pronounced in the
    Finger Lakes region where surface temperatures have warmed into the
    upper 70s to mid 80s. Most morning CAM guidance suggest this
    activity should increase in coverage somewhat as it impinges on the destabilizing air mass, but still may remain relatively isolated
    given the weak mid-level lapse rates evident on morning soundings.
    Strong gusts producing tree damage will likely be the main threat,
    potentially becoming scattered if greater convective coverage occurs
    this afternoon.

    Mesoscale Discussion 1604

    0548 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023

    Areas affected...Parts of northern/central High Plains

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20

    Valid 172248Z - 172345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Convection is increasing in central/eastern Wyoming.
    Storms may initially be supercellular with a threat for large/very
    large hail and severe wind gusts. Severe winds (some 75+ mph) will
    become more probable as storms grow upscale. A watch is likely for
    parts of the central/northern High Plains.

    DISCUSSION...Convection within central/eastern Wyoming has continued
    to deepen over the last hour. The strongest ascent from a shortwave
    trough moving through Montana will be north of the region, but
    sufficient lift for additional convection should extend into Wyoming
    as well this evening. Storms will initially be weak given the lack
    of low-level moisture. However, coverage and intensity will increase
    as storms move into the High Plains where post-frontal southeasterly
    winds are maintaining moist trajectories into the terrain. CAM
    guidance has generally suggested an increase in coverage would occur
    early this evening, but guidance has also performed poorly this
    afternoon. Observed convective trends would suggest this process may
    occur earlier. Given the strong northwesterly shear and surface
    southeasterly winds, initial storms would be supercellular with a
    threat for large/very large hail and severe wind gusts. Low-level
    shear is weak and dewpoint spreads will be moderately high. A
    tornado threat would be contingent on a discrete supercell mode
    being maintained until the low-level jet increases this evening.
    That being said, upscale growth of one or more clusters is expected
    to occur relatively quickly and severe wind gusts (some 75+ mph)
    would become the primary concerns. While timing is still uncertain,
    a severe thunderstorm watch is likely for parts of the
    central/northern High Plains.
