Large hail and severe wind gusts (including gusts exceeding 75 mph) are also expected in the northern High Plains. New England A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is ongoing from New Jersey northeastward into southern New England. This line is being supported by large-scale ascent associated with a mid-level shortwave trough moving eastward through the central Appalachians. Ahead of the line, surface dewpoints across southern New England are in the lower to mid 60s F, and the RAP is analyzing MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg. The WSR-88D VWPs at both New York and Boston have 0-6 km shear in the 30 to 35 knot range, with 35 knots of flow 1 km above the surface. This environment, along with steep low-level lapse rates, evident on forecast soundings will be favorable for severe wind gusts as the line moves eastward across southern New England this evening. Further north across the remainder of New England, scattered thunderstorms are ongoing. These storms are located in the vicinity of an instability maximum, where the RAP has MUCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. In addition, moderate deep-layer shear is present which should support an isolated threat for severe gusts and hail. Southern Great Lakes/Ohio Valley The latest water vapor imagery shows west-northwesterly mid-level flow over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. At the surface, a cold front is located from far northern Indiana eastward to near Lake Erie. To the south of the front, dewpoints are mostly in the lower 70s F, which is contributing to moderate instability. The RAP has MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing along and to the south of the instability axis. The strongest deep-layer shear is analyzed from Ohio into southern Pennsylvania, which should be the favored corridor for supercell development. Isolated large hail and severe gusts will be possible with supercells. Multicells will also be capable of strong to severe gusts. Further west into the mid Mississippi Valley, a few strong to severe storms will be possible near a pocket of moderate instability. Steep low-level lapse rates will support a potential for isolated severe gusts. Hail will also be possible. Northern High Plains Over the northern High Plains, water vapor imagery shows a mid-level shortwave trough moving northeastward through the flow. Ahead of the trough, a moist and unstable airmass is located across eastern Montana and western North Dakota, where surface dewpoints are mostly in the upper 50s and lower 60s F. Over this area, the RAP has MLCAPE in the 2500 to 3500 J/kg range. Along the western edge of the stronger instability, thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening. The storms will move northeastward across northeastern Montana and far northwestern North Dakota. Forecast soundings to the northwest of Williston have 0-6 km shear of 45 to 50 knots with 700-500 mb lapse rates approaching 9 C/km. This will support the development of supercells with large hail. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter will be possible with the more dominant storms. In addition, low-level lapse rates will be very steep supporting severe wind gusts. A few gusts above 75 mph will be possible, especially if a cold pool can organize. Southern Plains/Ark-La-Tex A mid-level shortwave trough is currently evident on water vapor imagery over northwest Texas, with a moist and unstable airmass in place from central and north Texas into southern Oklahoma. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing along the western edge of the stronger instability along the I-35 corridor from the northern Texas Hill Country into the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro. Steep lapse rates and moderate deep-layer shear will continue to support an isolated wind-damage and hail threat for a couple more hours this evening. Further east into the Ark-La-Tex, scattered storms are ongoing from far eastern Oklahoma into far western Arkansas. These storms are located along the northern edge of moderate instability, where the RAP has MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg. Forecast soundings near Fort Smith early this evening have 0-3 km storm-relative helicity around 200 m2/s2 suggesting an isolated tornado threat will exist. The tornado threat should persist for a couple more hours.
