PWs and CAPE decrease as you go further NE. The line may make into Western NJ. But I think it weakens rapidly after that.

Yeah that's often the issue with using an OKX sounding to get an idea of the environment throughout the area...things can be really different over Western NJ .

I think the best area for severe weather today will end up south and west of NYC. These morning storms are nothing exciting, I wouldn't mind if they just crapped out so we could have a better shot at destabilizing later.

We don't seem to be getting the thunderstorms at all this summer. Not that I mind a nice, hot, dry summer every now and then.

Quite unstable at coastal sections now with already 1500+ j/kg of SBCAPE and 2000 j/kg of MLCAPE. This combined with some helicity is contributing to elevating supercell indices at the coast. Given that there is some CIN in place, coastal sections and perhaps some nearby inland locations will most likely have lots of sunshine to boost buoyancy further until that strong shortwave and some shear provides enough ascent to unload all of that instability with 70+ *F dewpoints for isolated supercells with perhaps an isolated tornado this afternoon. We were upgraded to a slight risk this morning for today with the potential for higher probabilities in later outlooks. How are this morning's models honing in on this threat?
