Mesoscale Discussion 1090
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0945 AM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017

   Areas affected...Parts of the northern Mid Atlantic Coast region
   into New England

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 191445Z - 191715Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm activity is expected into and
   through the 1-4 PM EDT time frame, accompanied by a risk for
   potentially damaging wind gusts.  At least a couple of severe
   weather watches appear likely within the next hour or two.

   DISCUSSION...Ahead of lingering pre-frontal convection, insolation
   within a seasonably high moisture content boundary layer (surface
   dew points near/above 70F) is contributing to moderately large CAPE
   and weakening inhibition.  This is occurring from the lee of the
   Allegheny Mountains through much of the Hudson/Champlain Valleys
   into the mountains of northern New England, where lower/mid
   tropospheric flow is already cyclonic and modest in strength. 
   Although large-scale upstream troughing is only very slowly
   progressing eastward, weak mid-level height falls associated with
   subtle embedded perturbations may aid storm development into the
   17-20Z time frame.  

   The initiation of thunderstorms already appears underway across the
   Poconos, Catskills into and northeast of the Berkshires, and a
   gradual increase in coverage/intensification seems probable into
   early afternoon.  Eventually, in the presence of soundings that
   appear characterized by high precipitable water and 30-40 kt south
   to southwesterly lower/mid tropospheric flow, heavy precipitation
   loading and downward momentum transfer may contribute to increasing
   potential for downbursts.  Consolidating and strengthening cold
   pools may also contribute to organizing convection accompanied by
   strong, potentially damaging wind gusts.

sucks I can't get out of work early...that stuff is poised to head towards Litchfield too.  Hopefully stuff will still be going on after 5

Just a few miles away from Litchfield - thunder is currently booming (but according to radar and lightning strike data and warning box, likely passing north of me, at least at this stage of the game - all bets are off later on).

Atmosphere should recover from any midday thundershowers in Connecticut.

I wonder if these storms are arriving too early as well.  Best shear still just a bit off to the west

Early afternoon convection appears to be lifting north and east out of your target area. Main line should come in later this afternoon. Maybe you can leave a little early. Dang that chase terrain looks as bad as East Tenn. Still, if it's local you gotta try. Good luck!

Headed to Mohawk Mtn right now. Then I'll be figuring out where to go from there. I have all my camera equipment and my drone. Hoping to capture some interesting stuff.

I actually live in central CT.  My hope is to be able to get to BDL since it has great views
