Subj : MESO: Mesoscale Discussion 1980 To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Aug 13 2023 16:35:19 ACUS11 KWNS 131635 SWOMCD SPC MCD 131635=20 MEZ000-NHZ000-131830- Mesoscale Discussion 1980 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1135 AM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023 Areas affected...eastern NH...southern and western Maine Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20 Valid 131635Z - 131830Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...A couple of small supercells will probably evolve this afternoon and pose a risk for large hail (max diameter 1.25-1.75 inches) and isolated damaging gusts (peak speeds 50-65 mph). It is uncertain whether the coverage of severe weather will warrant a small severe thunderstorm watch. DISCUSSION...Visible-satellite/radar mosaic shows towering cumulus and initial thunderstorms developing across northern VT into far western Maine as of 1230pm EDT (1630 UTC). Surface analysis indicates cooler/less unstable conditions over the eastern half of Maine where temperatures have been slow to warm (in the mid 60s to lower 70s), whereas much warm conditions are observed over NH and western Maine with temperatures ranging from the lower 80s over southern NH to the mid-upper 70s in western Maine.=20=20 Water-vapor imagery shows a mid-level low over Quebec with a vorticity lobe rotating through the base of the trough over the St. Lawrence Valley. Gradual mid-level cooling over the central-northern portions of Maine along with some additional heating will continue to destabilize the airmass. The implied large-scale ascent and increasing buoyancy will favor strong updraft development. Appreciable shear through a deep layer will act to organize updrafts. The stronger updrafts will probably evolve into supercells with a local risk for large hail and damaging gusts. ...Smith/Guyer.. 08/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5XsMrtcHwSiwmViFi7w085rcZ73mm7huhGQ__E-7tzPPH1hN6JOFTXx9dhx3xDwtsZkzyaXz3= KSgiqgnt68OcK6wJ_U$ for graphic product...
