Valid 251804Z - 252000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 546 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorms may continue to slowly intensify and organize across northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley into southern New England, accompanied by increasing risk for potentially damaging wind gusts through 3-5 PM EDT. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have been gradually consolidating east of the mid-level cyclonic vorticity center, across far eastern Pennsylvania into western New Jersey, with colder cloud tops and lightning flash rates slowly expanding and increasing, respectively. Beneath 30 kt southwesterly flow around 500 mb, shear appears sufficiently strong to support further organization, with at least moderate easterly near-surface inflow ahead of activity. Although stronger southwesterly flow farther aloft will tend to continue advecting anvil cloud cover above the updraft inflow layer, latest mesoanalysis indicates that the boundary layer has already become characterized by 1000-1500 J/kg across northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley into southern New England. So, there appears potential for convection to continue intensify and organize during the next few hours. As it does, the risk for potentially damaging wind gusts probably will increase. ...Kerr.. 07/25/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!56Ntq95aRLKhlmb1JJAa3eXdX7q4HcPNRUcMhz9fW-rcpd8ahKX4-wyFDNA3QUENSOCyy5K7f= 1zHLbxcNloLXOnqjYE$ for graphic product...
