weatherwiz Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 A plume of rather steep mid-level lapse rates will be traversing the region tomorrow and this will help generate a few hundred J of elevated instability. Strong cold front with vorticity approaching along with some pretty strong dynamics. Should have enough forcing, couple with elevated instability for some low topped convection to develop. Highest potential may be SE MA. Given the shear aloft, low-ish freezing levels, and steep mid-level lapse rates can't rule out some strong/damaging wind gusts and small hail with any convection tomorrow. That time of year is getting here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 18z looks decent to get just enough updraft oomph for a few lightning strikes. Convective temps should be reached. Several hundred J of elevated CAPE too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Steep mid-level lapse rates helping to generate ~250 J/KG of MUCape...even a couple hundred J of CAPE in the -10 to -30C layer. Nice line of heavy showers in central CT. If tops can get a little taller should maybe spit out some lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that changed. Expand Still looks like it’s south. Those storms forming to the SW are in an area of decent SBCape. Wonder if that stuff was aided by differential heating zone.
