However, the need for a watch in the short term remains uncertain. DISCUSSION...Convection is gradually developing early this afternoon across parts of northern NY into VT. Modest ascent associated with a weak mid-level vorticity maximum/perturbation evident in water vapor satellite imagery over this area may be aiding this activity. A moist and unstable airmass, with MLCAPE already around 1500-2000 J/kg per latest mesoanalysis estimates, is present. Additional increases in boundary-layer instability appear probable this afternoon with continued diurnal heating. Recent VWPs from KCXX show modest low-level southerly flow gradually veering and strengthening with height through 0-6 km AGL. Corresponding deep-layer shear remains relatively weak, generally 20-25 kt. Still, this may be sufficient for some updraft organization. Given the presence of somewhat steepened mid-level lapse rates, marginally severe hail may occur with initially more discrete activity, along with isolated damaging downdraft winds. The potential for a more organized and consolidated cluster of thunderstorms posing a greater threat for damaging winds may be delayed until convection farther south across the Mid-Atlantic spreads northeastward into NY and New England later this afternoon and evening. Even so, convective trends will be closely monitored for signs of increasing thunderstorm coverage and intensity, which may eventually prompt watch issuance. ...Gleason/Kerr.. 09/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4PmzNRNl-yalYG004q6N3va2MTrKZ8lzHjHCz2zvW7D7CDNLfxWpgsvXL58-SOcnGj1fJKGwS= xIK2_vyCKPZBBrYxW4$ for graphic product...
