The need for a watch in the short term remains unclear, but trends will be closely monitored. DISCUSSION...Recent visible satellite and radar imagery show widely spaced convection has developed from parts of southern DE into NJ, and across southern New England. This activity is being aided by modest ascent/convergence along the Atlantic sea breeze, and the eastern periphery of weak upper troughing over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. A favorable thermodynamic environment exists from the Delmarva to southern New England, where 2000-2500+ J/kg of MLCAPE is present. But, stronger mid-level flow appears to be slightly displaced to the west of the greatest instability, with recent VWPs across this area suggesting 0-6 km shear remains 20-25 kt or less. While some modest convective organization may occur given this weak shear, the widely spaced nature of the ongoing thunderstorms given weak large-scale ascent limits confidence in a greater concentration of severe risk developing for the next couple of hours. Still, an isolated hail/gusty wind threat should continue with this convection with the presence of modestly steepened mid-level lapse rates. While watch issuance does not seem immediately likely, trends will be closely monitored. ...Gleason/Guyer.. 09/08/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9yHeN77sp_IEe1Yqpfz55DHiDrnDyaEnCJ367FjuT70nV_SUa8glNaAjoJpDVLKzN2QwgylQY= KFlGRUKFuOYfgre-AM$ for graphic product...
