Watch issuance will probably not be needed. DISCUSSION...Bands of loosely organized convection will continue to move northward this afternoon across parts of eastern/southern NY and New England. A 17Z special sounding from ALB, modified by current surface observations, shows a weakly unstable airmass with around 700 J/kg of MLCAPE. Both low-level and deep-layer shear remain quite weak however, with a notable drop off in wind speeds with height from the surface through 500 mb. With effective bulk shear remaining generally 20 kt or less, thunderstorm clusters should struggle to become more organized into bowing segments. Still, some filtered diurnal heating has occurred, and the observed sounding from ALB does show modestly steepened low-level lapse rates. This may be sufficient for isolated strong/gusty downdraft winds capable of producing mainly sporadic tree damage through the rest of the afternoon. Due to the weak shear and instability limiting updraft intensity and organization, it appears that watch issuance will probably not be needed. ...Gleason/Grams.. 06/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4zR6lOLAogJlIHDXJblIqDgt9ELp_InvebdvqjL1Ywk6MKaBv0EeIPktYfdw_IbX5t4tzJf0f= v0Wq4m3qOq370jNAxI$ for graphic product...
