I dunno... I know it could be wrong... but 1400 SPC Meso page says SBCAPE is already up to 1500 J/KG along I-95

I have a sneaky suspicious that mesoanalysis is always a bit high too ;)

My AllisonHouse feed in GR always shows much lower values. Usually like sliced 50%

MRNG...AND ACTIVITY HAS BEEN DIMINISHING...THUS POPS ADJUSTED

DOWNWARD FOR NEXT FEW HOURS. SFC CDFNT LAGGING BEHIND INITIAL

PCPN...AND AT 14Z IS LOCATED ACRS WRN WV. CNVTCV BAND DVLPG ALONG

THIS FEATURE...WHICH SHUD RACE AHEAD OF ANY PRE-FRONTAL PCPN BY

THIS AFTN ACRS SHEN VLY. FRONT WILL ENCOUNTER HIGHLY UNSTABLE

ATM...SO TSTMS SHUD INTENSIFY AS THEY PUSH EWD THRU CWA. BULK

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1928

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1038 AM CDT SAT SEP 08 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF THE NRN/CNTRL APPALACHIANS

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 634...

VALID 081538Z - 081715Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 634

CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...DAMAGING WIND THREAT SHOULD PERSIST WITHIN WW 634 ALONG A

THIN FRONTAL SQUALL LINE CURRENTLY IN SWRN NY. ALONG WITH THE SRN

EXTENT OF THE LINE IN WRN PA AND WV...THIS QLCS SHOULD INTENSIFY

RAPIDLY AS IT REACHES THE INSTABILITY AXIS FROM NRN VA TO CNTRL NY

IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN THE DAMAGING

WIND THREAT EXPECTED. A DOWNSTREAM TORNADO WATCH IS ANTICIPATED FOR

WFO BTV/ALY/BGM AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS EXPECTED FOR

CTP/LWX/PHI.

DISCUSSION...A NARROW BUT LONG BAND OF ENHANCED REFLECTIVITY WITHOUT

CG DETECTED LIGHTNING EXTENDED FROM SWRN NY TO ERN KY AS OF

1530Z...ALONG THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. AN 80-100 MILE GAP REMAINS

BETWEEN THIS AND THE LEADING EDGE OF MORE ROBUST SURFACE HEATING

WHERE 15Z TEMPERATURES HAD RISEN THROUGH THE 70S AND LOWER 80S. AS

THE FRONT MERGES WITH THIS INSTABILITY AXIS...A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE

IN CONVECTIVE INTENSITY IS ANTICIPATED. LOW/DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL BE

STRONGEST WITH NRN EXTENT...WHILE STRONGER HEATING WITH SRN EXTENT

SHOULD PROMOTE RELATIVELY GREATER BUOYANCY. THIS SETUP APPEARS TO BE

SUPPORTIVE FOR THE ADVERTISED POTENTIAL OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS

DAMAGING WIND EVENTS. A FEW EMBEDDED QLCS TORNADOES ALSO APPEAR

PROBABLE ACROSS CNTRL/ERN NY.
