The stronger storms will be capable of strong wind gusts and perhaps large hail. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance may be needed if appreciable strong storm coverage becomes apparent. DISCUSSION...Insolation is modifying the boundary layer amid some persistent cloud cover, remnant from earlier showers and thunderstorms, which is warming temperatures through the 60s F. Cooling temperatures atop a destabilizing airmass from the approach of a pronounced upper trough, and minimal convection inhibition, is supporting relative robust updraft development across southeast PA (per MRMS mosaic radar imagery). Through the day, further heating should boost MLCAPE to over 1000 J/kg, which should be adequate for scattered strong to potentially severe storms given expected 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear. Current regional VADs and short-term RAP forecast soundings depict a unidirectional vertical wind profile with elongated, straight hodographs. As such, linear multicellular clusters and transient supercells should be the primary modes of convection for the stronger storms that manage to develop. Strong, damaging gusts are possible later this afternoon once the boundary layer destabilizes. Given colder temperatures aloft overspreading the Mid-Atlantic into the Hudson Valley, large hail cannot be ruled out either. Therefore, if robust storm coverage becomes apparent, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed within the next few hours. ...Squitieri/Gleason.. 05/06/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5dl6rZJlKAnECmw2d_GX7dcYVdRC80ip2tvNDS1QaJrj3idQTcCVMeqGdPyhoo869DRfl6kko= 7uCFsiNF5C-M7ABX28$ for graphic product...
