DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms are underway well to the south of the primary shortwave impulse moving east across the Upper OH Valley. With enhancement from a minor MCV near the middle TN/central KY border, guidance suggests convection will become extensive from the Cumberland Plateau to the lee of the southern Appalachians. However, greater buoyancy and boundary-layer heating should be confined to the Piedmont eastward, with the bulk of convection expected to remain relegated farther west. Overall deep-layer shear is weak, which will lend to slow-moving storms and poorly organized clusters. Still, water-loaded downdrafts in wet microbursts should support sporadic strong gusts capable of localized damaging winds. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

DISCUSSION...Strong morning insolation has allowed temperatures to warm into the upper 80s amid a very moist boundary layer, characterized by dew point temperatures into the mid 70s F. This has resulted in destabilization of the environment, yielding 2500 J/kg of MLCAPE. Visible satellite/radar is now indicating scattered convection developing across the region. The expectation is for storms to continue developing, maturing into the afternoon hours while spreading southeast with time. Weak deep-layer shear will limit storm organization, but given appreciable low-level lapse rates (approaching 8 C/km) and the aforementioned moist environment, periodic strong/water-loaded downdrafts can be expected with this activity, resulting in isolated wind damage throughout the remainder of the afternoon and early evening. ..Karstens/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is possible if a more concentrated corridor of damaging winds becomes apparent. DISCUSSION...To the north of the favored region for scattered damaging winds across southern PA/NJ this afternoon, a more isolated and lower intensity threat is anticipated. With somewhat cooler surface temperatures, outside of the Lower Hudson Valley, amid similarly weak mid-level lapse rates, MLCAPE is expected to be more muted. But moderate to strong mid/upper-level speed shear will favor potential for semi-discrete convection and transient mid-level rotation, capable of small hail and generally isolated damaging winds. Bulk of morning guidance suggests a combination of lesser storm coverage and instability should modulate the overall wind threat. It is possible though that an uptick in convective intensity might occur if a cluster can approach the Lower Hudson Valley to southwest New England vicinity later this afternoon. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

While there is some near-term uncertainty of how quickly this initial activity will strengthen amid weak DCAPE, the downstream airmass east of the Blue Ridge is destabilizing well as surface temperatures have already warmed into the upper 80s to low 90s. This will yield an uptick in convective intensity as clusters impinge on the Piedmont to Coastal Plain where mid 70s surface dew points are pervasive. Although lower-level winds will remain weak and predominately veered, moderate mid to upper-level westerlies will support organized multicells capable of producing multiple strong to isolated severe gust swaths. Scattered damaging winds appear likely towards mid to late afternoon. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...AKQ...CTP...LWX...

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1228 PM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE GREAT LAKES... ...SUMMARY... At least scattered storms are possible across a large portion of the continental U.S. on Wednesday. Isolated severe gusts may accompany the stronger storms over portions of the Northern Rockies and the Upper Midwest to central Michigan region. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will amplify while tracking toward New England, with an upper ridge poised to build over the central U.S. as another mid-level trough impinges on the Pacific Northwest tomorrow (Wednesday). Widespread, rich low-level moisture will encourage at least scattered thunderstorm development across much of the CONUS. However, the best chance for strong to isolated severe thunderstorms will be over parts of the Northern Rockies and the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes regions. Here, low-level moisture and instability will best overlap with modest mid-level westerly flow along the periphery of the upper ridge, where some vertical wind shear will be present to encourage storm organization. ...Portions of the Northern Rockies... Through the day, surface heating will support mixing of a dry boundary layer, which may deepen to 500 mb in spots. Tropospheric lapse rates will steepen to around 9 C/km, boosting SBCAPE into the 500-1500 J/kg range. High-based thunderstorms should develop by afternoon peak heating. Modest mid-level flow along the periphery of the ridge will overspread the dry boundary layer, resulting in elongated, straight hodographs and 30 kts of effective bulk shear. Multicell structures or perhaps a transient supercell will be the likely storm modes. Given the dry boundary layer, the stronger storm cores may produce a few severe gusts. ...Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes... Along the eastern periphery of the upper ridge, broad northwesterly mid/upper flow will overspread the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region during the afternoon. Modest low-level moisture and mid-level lapse rates will contribute to 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE by afternoon peak heating. A belt of stronger northwesterly 500 mb flow will overspread the Great Lakes as the eastern trough deepens in the 18-00Z time frame, contributing to vertical speed shear and elongated, straight hodographs. Over 30 kts of unidirectional effective bulk shear will support multicells capable of producing a few instances of severe wind and/or hail. ..Squitieri.. 07/01/2025 Read more

Tropospheric lapse rates will steepen to around 9 C/km, boosting SBCAPE into the 500-1500 J/kg range. High-based thunderstorms should develop by afternoon peak heating. Modest mid-level flow along the periphery of the ridge will overspread the dry boundary layer, resulting in elongated, straight hodographs and 30 kts of effective bulk shear. Multicell structures or perhaps a transient supercell will be the likely storm modes. Given the dry boundary layer, the stronger storm cores may produce a few severe gusts. ...Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes... Along the eastern periphery of the upper ridge, broad northwesterly mid/upper flow will overspread the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region during the afternoon. Modest low-level moisture and mid-level lapse rates will contribute to 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE by afternoon peak heating. A belt of stronger northwesterly 500 mb flow will overspread the Great Lakes as the eastern trough deepens in the 18-00Z time frame, contributing to vertical speed shear and elongated, straight hodographs. Over 30 kts of unidirectional effective bulk shear will support multicells capable of producing a few instances of severe wind and/or hail. ..Squitieri.. 07/01/2025 Read more
