This will be a learning experience. Will typical southerly flow climo apply to an extent, or will such an anomalous LLJ and a weak inversion cause strong winds.

Like Ryan said a couple of days ago, ripping LLJ and 70 s water, should be interesting. The NAM soundings are pretty wild yet they still show deck winds 20-30 less than just over our heads. My tree top special?

Yeah, the SB CAPE sky-rocketed this run. I can def see a tornado threat starting in S NJ and heading NNE towards NYC/western Long Island.

Post-warm front, a dry intrusion works in for a while (850-700mb) and allows us to temporarily break, possibly even with a poke of sunshine? There is an interesting time in coastal, S-C NJ where winds shift from SE to S during the early-mid afternoon as profiles moisten. Some hints of a possible vort max too ahead of the main show as low-mid level winds accelerate significantly.

I wonder if we get something before the deform stuff gets here. The NAM is also threatening late afternoon/evening for most of the state.

I could see a late afternoon NYC metro tornado threat particularly of there is some post warm front clearing and/or dew points overperform.

The TOR threat tomorrow down across NJ and portions of the mid-Atlantic certainly is interesting...those hodographs are insanely large with a tremendous amount of directional shear. One potential issue is that small inversion showing up on some soundings up around 700mb...could work to prevent updrafts from penetrating above 10K or so or much higher and cells wouldn't be able to fully realize and utilize the great shear.

I agree. This threat would then go on to move into the NYC area. There are almost 2 LLJ's being modeled on the NAM and it is the first one that may cause the tornado potential. The NYC area also sees a similar wind shift between 21z-00z from SE to S.

Well I think convection will be low topped sp the issue is going to get low level CAPE juxtaposed with sufficient 0-1km shear. You have to ditch the typical supercell construct in your head for something like this.
