DISCUSSION...Cumulus and deepening convective showers are increasing this afternoon across parts of northern Maine, with ongoing thunderstorms noted across southeast Quebec and northwest New Brunswick. Modest heating of a moist environment has resulted in MLCAPE increasing to near 1000 J/kg, with some further increase possible into late afternoon. Storm coverage is expected to increase with time across northern and eventually central Maine, as a shortwave mid/upper-level trough moves across Quebec.=20 Midlevel lapse rates are expected to remain quite weak (generally less than 6 C/km, as noted on the 18Z CAR sounding) across the region, so it may take some time for developing storms to mature. Rather strong midlevel southwesterlies are supporting effective shear of 40-50 kt (also noted on the 18Z CAR sounding), which will support the potential for a couple supercells and/or organized clusters later this afternoon into the evening. Damaging wind will be the most likely hazard, but at this time the threat is expected to be somewhat localized, rendering watch issuance unlikely. ...Dean/Thompson.. 07/28/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_pM7S-75WZtGeauWsz8wZdFg2Ph8azolUKz-sr45pzcaGQa4-ecAMyMkGkE6r4QAAng1ihtr7= kd1veI4HZDTuKKlf7o$ for graphic product...
