Damaging gusts and isolated hail will be possible. A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed in the next couple of hours. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms have already developed this morning across portions of southern Quebec ahead of an eastward-advancing cold front. Downstream from this activity, modest/gradual destabilization is occurring across NH/ME where heating is occurring amid scattered/broken clouds. Stronger heating and richer boundary-layer moisture will likely remain focused across parts of NH into western/coastal ME. Nevertheless, strong vertical shear will remain in place over the area and instability will be sufficient for bands/clusters of strong/severe storms into the afternoon hours. Forecast soundings show a deeply mixed boundary layer with steep low level lapse rates amid 45+ kt effective shear by early afternoon, supporting damaging wind potential. Straight, elongated hodographs also suggest hail may be possible with any more discrete storm mode. A severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed for portions of the area within the next couple of hours. ...Leitman/Gleason.. 06/30/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5R5Vx-mV10z7iqSpTV5DBQz685_M6VZxcIBJWQOPTz0A4ac0YNHI2gRhR3Yei2GQUyorl4_ix= 9l_c1SIv04DkwoiPmI$ for graphic product...
