Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1103 AM CDT Sat Sep 06 2025 Valid 061630Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC REGION INTO NEW ENGLAND... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey into New England this afternoon. The primary hazards will be strong to severe gusts capable of wind damage, isolated hail, and a tornado or two. ...The Mid Atlantic Region into New England... A large upper trough is present today over the Great Lakes region. At the surface, the effective low-level baroclinic zone extends from MD into eastern PA/NY and New England. To the east of the boundary, at least broken sunshine will help to steepen low-level lapse rates and destabilize the air mass. Thunderstorms have already begun to form along this zone, with intensification to scattered strong/severe storms by mid-afternoon. Mid-level lapse rates are not particularly steep, but southwesterly winds aloft are strong and deep layer shear will support rotating/bowing structures capable of damaging wind gusts and some hail. A tornado or two will also be possible. Model guidance is in agreement that the corridor of concern is rather narrow, with the main risk between about 19-23z. Refer to MD #2042 for further details. ..Hart/Weinman.. 09/06/2025 Read more

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0729 AM CDT Sat Sep 06 2025 Valid 061300Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC REGION INTO NEW ENGLAND... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey into New England this afternoon. The primary hazards will be strong to severe gusts capable of wind damage and a tornado or two. ...Northeast... Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a potent mid-level shortwave trough moving east-northeast across Lower MI and embedded within a larger scale cyclonic flow field over eastern North America. This mid-level disturbance will move into southeast Quebec by this evening. A weak frontal wave is forecast to evolve near the NY/MA/VT border by early afternoon as a cold front sharpens and begins to push towards the coast. A relatively moist airmass is evident in surface observations this morning with dewpoints in the lower 70s along the southern New England coast with mid to upper 60s farther inland. Despite some low cloud cover, sufficient heating will promote moderate destabilization by early afternoon. Convection will likely focus along the wind shift/cold front with scattered to numerous storms eventually developing by mid-late afternoon. Model guidance shows 35-40 kt southwesterly 700-mb flow and forecast soundings show hodographs enlarging in the vicinity of the weak low as it migrates north-northeast across portions of southern New England into southern ME. Several supercells are possible and have introduced 5-percent tornado probabilities this outlook to highlight where the greatest low-level mesocyclone threat (i.e., possibility for a tornado or two) is forecast. Otherwise, strong to severe gusts capable of wind damage are expected from both supercells and the more organized/intense cores and line segments. As the disturbance becomes displaced from the region by early evening and with the loss of heating, the severe risk will likely diminish. ...Mid-Atlantic states into the Carolinas/GA... Southern extension of stronger flow will gradually taper with south extent from the Mid-Atlantic states into the Carolinas. However, sufficient destabilization of a seasonably moist airmass will favor widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms evolving into a few bands of thunderstorms this afternoon. The primary risk with the more intense thunderstorms will be strong to locally severe gusts capable of wind damage. This activity will likely weaken by the early evening. ..Smith/Broyles.. 09/06/2025 Read more

Southern extension of stronger flow will gradually taper with south extent from the Mid-Atlantic states into the Carolinas. However, sufficient destabilization of a seasonably moist airmass will favor widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms evolving into a few bands of thunderstorms this afternoon. The primary risk with the more intense thunderstorms will be strong to locally severe gusts capable of wind damage. This activity will likely weaken by the early evening. ..Smith/Broyles.. 09/06/2025 Read more
