WW issuance possible. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows an organized cluster of storms moving eastward across eastern Connecticut at around 30 kt. The storms are moving through an environment that is marginally unstable, but with some boundary-layer heating ongoing through a layer of high clouds overspreading the area, storms that are nearly surface-based at this point should become more solidly rooted within the boundary layer in the next hour or so. Morning OKX RAOB, and latest VWP from the KBOX WSR-88D show 34 to 45 kt mid-level flow, atop a low-level profiled that veers weakly with height. This implies sufficient shear for a continuation of the organized convective cluster -- and associated potential for locally damaging wind gusts and marginal hail. Additionally, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out if cellular convection -- hinted at ahead of the main band at this time -- can become more robust. WW issuance remains uncertain, but we will continue to monitor in the short term. ...Goss/Guyer.. 09/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5MoZo2Z29rDKeqaKV5F8G4szEePqorrICzyfIKYMkKgSGqiIxiyR9L-MJd-3Ddx8IiHj7rI7i= PlvIYUIAF3DiFOftFo$ for graphic product...
