SE PA/Mt. Holly severe threats..

Why do I feel like I've heard this before....

you can get storms in meager shear. When you have high shear combined with those other values, well some more helicty to, you get a tornado outbreak. This area isnt really a high shear environment hence why we don't many tornadoes. Their is more to it then that. But you need good shear to have tornadoes. Thats why the event down in dc/md was so rare cause the shear was pretty strong combined with other good factors.

0z euro has slowed its frontal movement down a little, helping the chance for svr storms...best shot would be jersey since the front would cross later on.

If anyone's getting anything Monday it's the Shore and Delaware.

We'll get storms tonight and early Monday across the region but severe is not likely when those move through.

BTW, there's a slight risk down to our southwest for later today (VA, WV, NC).

Line now forming over southeast VA will be the center of attention tonight with better elevated instability expected to move in towards morning and high sweat values I could see there being a strong wind threat with a few isolated severe storms anytime after 3am. then another threat for east of I95 tomorrow for severe wx.

1 Interesting thing to point out is the RAP model slows the front down quiet a bit across the area with continuous redevelopment Not saying this will happen but could be a heavy rain and tornado threat if that were to happen given the good dynamics that will be around tomorrow. best chance still east of I95.

The first wave passes through at 10z (so 6 am) per the 0z RAP.

Given that it's early morning, we're lucky to even have the 250 J/Kg of CAPE that's being modeled (though there's more south). You have 30-knot winds just above the surface and 5-knot winds at the surface on a 10z sounding off the RAP for Philadelphia. That makes me think shearing apart will be an issue. PWATs are greater than 1.5" at that time, so there might be some heavy rain, but I'm generally unimpressed by the set-up. Timing is the killer.

Through 18z the RAP prints out less than 0.50" so it doesn't seem too enthused either. (Sussex County gets over 0.50" but only barely.)

SPC dragged the SLGT west a little bit at 6z

day1otlk_20120625_1200_prt.gif

15% Wind, 15% Hail, and they introduced a 2% Tor.

AIDED BY RELATIVELY STRONG NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...SOME INITIAL
  SPLITTING SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE /A TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED
  OUT/...AGAIN MOST LIKELY FOR THE DELMARVA AND MID-ATLANTIC COAST
  INTO NC. TSTM CLUSTERS WILL OTHERWISE SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD WITH A
  DAMAGING WIND/HAIL THREAT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND PERHAPS LINGER
  INTO THE EVENING /BUT ON AN INCREASINGLY ISOLATED BASIS/ ACROSS THE
  CAROLINAS/SOUTHEAST VA.

Reiterating my thoughts from yesterday -- it's a Shore and Delaware special later on -- they'll get some daytime heating and the timing of the front should work just right to be able to get something out of it in the early afternoon hours. 95 corridor could get some heavy thunder but I think the timing is not favorable for the city and northwest, IMO.

*Now that I said that, watch 95 get raked. :lol:

CITY NEW JERSEY. FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE

ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE

FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH

AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR

THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS

AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY

DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 424...

DISCUSSION...PRE-FRONTAL TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN STRENGTH

THROUGH THE MORNING AS AN AXIS OF VERY MOIST AIR IS TAPPED AND

DYNAMIC ASCENT INCREASES AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. A FEW STORMS

COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL ACROSS CT/LONG ISLAND THIS MORNING. THERE

MAY BE A RELATIVE MINIMUM IN CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ACROSS NYC AREA

GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS. SOUTH OF NYC...ACROSS SERN PA AND NJ...SOME

DIURNAL INCREASE IN INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY OCCUR BEFORE STRONGER

FORCING AND SHEAR ARRIVE WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT. THIS SHOULD

ALLOW FOR STORMS TO INTENSIFY LATER THIS MORNING OVER THESE AREAS

WITH POSSIBLE LINE SEGMENTS AND CELLS CAPABLE OF BOTH WIND AND

SEVERE HAIL.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT

TO 1.5 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
