Valid 272020Z - 272145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 553 continues. SUMMARY...The damaging-wind threat may increase through late afternoon. A brief tornado or two will also remain possible. DISCUSSION...Multiple small storm clusters have developed this afternoon from northeast PA into southern NY/New England, with a couple of marginal supercells noted farther north into southern NH. Low-level flow has tended to veer with the passage of a mid/upper-level shortwave and attendant surface low into northern New England. However, relatively backed flow is still noted from southern ME into southeast NH, and low-level shear/SRH remains sufficient to support a brief tornado threat if any additional supercells develop within the gradually destabilizing environment.=20 Farther southwest, a tendency for more unidirectional southwesterly flow is less favorable for discrete storms, but more favorable for outflow-driven clusters capable of damaging winds, especially where stronger heating has resulted in MLCAPE exceeding 2000 J/kg into parts of MA and northern CT. A 57 kt gust was recently observed in western MA at KBAF, with other reports of wind damage recently received across southwest MA. In addition to the wind threat, 30-40 kt flow just above the surface may also provide sufficient low-level shear for a brief tornado threat with any embedded circulations in this area. ...Dean.. 07/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-IHli4xtFyz6TYSFTdm7_5Nfkd64beM0YiAhiEDXplI9cSqt7hNRP1t7wmc9A1uDLyYTASZDF= yw1HkJmNBV41xFfQdg$ for graphic product...
