Isolated large hail (diameter 1 to 1.5 inches) is also possible. DISCUSSION...Visible-satellite imagery late this morning shows an extensive stratus deck across much of eastern PA northeastward through eastern NY and into southern New England. A bubbling cumulus field is located farther west from near the Finger Lakes into the Adirondacks.=20=20 Surface observations show temperatures rising into the low to mid 70s in areas void of thicker stratus and ongoing thunderstorm activity over central NY into VT/NH. The 12 UTC Buffalo raob showed 1900 J/kg MUCAPE with moderate to strong west-northwesterly mid to high-level flow. The initial storms near the front/composite wind shift have developed over far northern NY. Expecting additional storms to develop south/southeast of Buffalo in parts of western NY and northwest PA in the next 1-2 hours in a destabilizing airmass.=20 Scattered to numerous storms are likely by mid afternoon in the form of one or more broken bands of cells as this activity pushes east across the region. The stronger storms will be capable of peak gusts primarily in the 45-60 mph range, which will probably result in widely scattered wind damage with the stronger cores. Large hail may accompany the stronger updrafts with max hail size forecast in the 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter range. ...Smith.. 08/04/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4p8wr5UYd_4zgNLyMt9qm_fh-PtFsPo0KQSZ5x_QNYPf0_jWxUrFsRdpAeVXDhmreNuUDiutY= X-Qcd1PE938w2_nyt8$ for graphic product...
