Valid 161440Z - 161615Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 497 continues. SUMMARY...The potential for isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado should continue this morning. DISCUSSION...Multiple low-topped thunderstorms remain embedded within a broad plume of warm-advection related precipitation across parts of New England this morning. Both low and mid-level lapse rates remain quite poor based on the 12Z observed soundings from OKX/GYX. This is likely hampering updraft intensity to some extent, with MLCAPE generally 500 J/kg or less based on latest mesoanalysis estimates. Even so, a veering/strengthening wind profile has been noted through low/mid levels with recent VWPs from KBOX/KGYX. Accounting for current thunderstorm motions yields around 100 m2/s2 of 0-1 km shear, which should be sufficient for occasional low-level updraft rotation and some threat for a brief tornado. Isolated damaging winds may also occur with water-loaded downdrafts in the more linear structures that can be maintained. ...Gleason.. 07/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7kF-roK8FESW1-VAB1EjCIs_kwC3ZNoJcFTJGvoaIgDrTU_DYbzT9TJtusse6UPXFIsg_LC43= aeFjizsRp3CimaVw_o$ for graphic product...
