   Areas affected...Eastern PA...southern NY...northern NJ

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 464...

   Valid 222307Z - 230100Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 464
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A few storms may increase in intensity as they progress
   across eastern Pennsylvania and vicinity. Damaging winds, a
   brief/weak tornado, and marginal hail are all possible.

   DISCUSSION...Surface analysis shows continued pressure falls across
   eastern PA, ahead of the main line of storms. In addition, this
   corridor currently is near the instability axis, with MLCAPE around
   1500 J/kg. Deep-layer shear remains favorable for long-lived severe
   storms, roughly 45-50 kt and at a large angle to the front. 0-1 km
   SRH also remains favorable for supercells and/or a brief tornado at
   over 100 M2/s2.

   Recent radar trends have shown some increase in cells ahead of the
   line, and if this trend persists, some of these cells may turn right
   and become supercells, with threat of a brief tornado, hail, and
   damaging wind.

The strong storm in Hunterdon County is on track to hit here, if it can hold together. The latest HRRR is suggesting it will, quite a difference from what model runs earlier today showed. We'll see.

One thing to note - it is fairly typical for these storms to pulse up as they leave the Lehigh Valley in eastern PA and pass over the mountain ridges across western NJ.  There have been many times where I will get a storm here with some lightning and then the storm will fire up just to my east as it crosses the Delaware River and the lightning output increases dramatically.  The orographic influences on these types of events cannot be understated.
