Valid 131920Z - 132115Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 481 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for scattered to numerous damaging winds will continue to increase this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Convection has generally consolidated along the cold front across western/central NY this afternoon. A moderately to strongly unstable airmass is present along/ahead of these thunderstorms, with MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg estimated by latest mesoanalysis. A couple of discrete thunderstorms with occasional supercell characteristics have developed ahead of the line across northern NY. Isolated severe hail may occur with this activity. Steepened low-level lapse rates (0-3 km layer around 7-8 C/km) will aid in efficient mixing of stronger downdraft winds to the surface. And given the mainly linear nature of the convection ongoing along/near the front, scattered to numerous damaging winds are expected to be the primary severe threat through the rest of the afternoon. A 25-35 kt southerly low-level jet remains focused across NY/VT into southern Quebec. Associated low-level shear appears sufficient to support some updraft rotation and tornado threat with both the discrete thunderstorms ahead of the line and within the line itself. ...Gleason.. 07/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_U9fpHLKwzumVpQKSZ9VkT5SszbemhdnAohEhpXKBoppnGBHNLDA-1d9x6TWv539IakCtAVFg= SDMaYF4UV-4GeCVQr4$ for graphic product...
