DISCUSSION...Late afternoon GOES-E IR satellite imagery and dual-pol radar shows scattered areas of fairly progressive shower and thunderstorm activity across areas of central and southern NY down into northern PA. The convection is generally focused near and south of a frontal zone where MLCAPE values are on the order of 1500 to 2500 J/kg and in an environment of more favorable kinematics that are conducive for locally organized convection. Effective bulk shear of 30 to 40 kts is in place, and somewhat stronger shear magnitudes are approaching the region from the west which may yield somewhat greater convective coverage and organization over the next few hours. PWs are on the order of 1.5 to 1.75 inches and this coupled with the instability and stronger shear-enhanced updrafts may yield rainfall rates with the stronger storms of up to 1 to 2 inches/hour. Despite the progressive cell-motions overall, some localized cell-training may occur such that some storm totals could reach up into the 2 to 3 inch range by early this evening. Given relatively moist antecedent conditions and lower FFG values across southern NY and northern PA in particular, there may be sufficient rainfall amounts to promote some isolated instances of flash flooding heading into the early evening hours. This will also include some localized urban flash flooding concerns.
