...SYNOPSIS...
MID-LEVEL PATTERN IS FORECAST TO BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE AMPLIFIED THIS
PERIOD AS STRONG ERN TROUGH DEEPENS AND MOVES ACROSS THE NERN CONUS.
THIS TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED VERY STRONG WIND FIELD WILL LIKELY SUPPORT A
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENT FOR MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND AND PARTS OF
THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION.
MEANWHILE...UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL
EXPAND NWWD AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH TOPS THE RIDGE IN MT AND MOVES SEWD INTO
THE PLAINS.
AT THE SURFACE...THE MAIN FEATURE WILL BE THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THE ERN TROUGH. THIS FRONT IS INITIALLY FORECAST TO LIE IN AN ARC SOUTH
OF 1030 SURFACE HIGH...FROM ERN ONTARIO SWWD ACROSS THE ERN GREAT LAKES
REGION INTO THE MO RIVER VALLEY...AND THEN NWWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH
PLAINS INTO MT. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD...THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO
MOVE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST...AND SHOULD LIE ROUGHLY W-E FROM NC
ACROSS THE TN AND MID MS VALLEY INTO OK...AND THEN NNWWD ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS INTO SASKATCHEWAN.
...NERN CONUS...
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS FORECAST FOR THE REGION THIS PERIOD.
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EWD ACROSS THE ERN GREAT LAKES EARLY IN
THE PERIOD...AND WILL THEN MOVE EWD INTO NEW ENGLAND AND SEWD ACROSS THE
OH VALLEY DURING THE AFTERNOON / EVENING. ALTHOUGH AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL REMAIN QUITE MOIST WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70 OVER
NEW ENGLAND AND THE OH VALLEY AND INTO THE LOW 70S IN THE DELMARVA
REGION...WEAK LOW- TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ACROSS THE REGION /AROUND 6
C/KM/ AND SOME CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT AVAILABLE INSTABILITY.
NONETHELESS...SOME DAYTIME HEATING AND AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WILL LIKELY
YIELD SURFACE-BASED CAPE IN THE 1000 TO 2000 J/KG RANGE. SCATTERED TO
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PERIOD ACROSS THIS REGION...AND WITH STRENGTH OF UPPER TROUGH AND
LOW-LEVEL FORCING ALONG COLD FRONT...STORMS SHOULD INCREASE ALONG AND
AHEAD OF BOUNDARY BY EARLY AFTERNOON. STORMS SHOULD RAPIDLY EVOLVE INTO
A SIGNIFICANT SQUALL LINE...WITH PERHAPS A FEW ISOLATED SUPERCELLS
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE LINE DURING THE AFTERNOON.
ALTHOUGH WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO BE GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL... WINDS
THROUGH A DEEP LAYER ARE FORECAST TO BE QUITE STRONG -- PARTICULARLY
FROM PA NWD...WITH AN 80 KT WLY MID-LEVEL JET STREAK FORECAST IN CENTRAL
NY BY EVENING. AS A RESULT...EXPECT A THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT WIND
DAMAGE ACROSS THIS REGION AS STORMS ORGANIZE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. THERE
WILL ALSO LIKELY BE A SECONDARY THREAT FOR HAIL...AND POSSIBLY A FEW
TORNADOES -- PARTICULARLY WITH ANY SUPERCELLS WHICH MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF
MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE. A COUPLE OF BRIEF TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY BOWING SEGMENTS OF THE LINE. STORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE OFF THE
ATLANTIC COAST SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

...SYNOPSIS...
POWERFUL UPR TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED STRONG SFC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP
THROUGH THE ERN GREAT LAKES REGION THIS MORNING AND THROUGH NY/PA AND
NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. SUBSTANTIAL MID LEVEL HEIGHT
FALLS OF OVER 100 M IN 12-HOURS ACROSS NY AND NRN NEW ENGLAND WILL
SUPPORT VIGOROUS UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT.
MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION WILL AID DEVELOPMENT OF ONE
OR MORE SQUALL LINES WITH RAPID CELL MOTION AND 50-80 KT MID LEVEL FLOW
RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL.
...NORTHEAST...
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS AND RADAR TRENDS SUGGESTED COLD FRONT WAS MOVING
ESEWD ACROSS SRN LOWER MI AND SRN LAKE HURON AT 30 KT. A PREFRONTAL
TROUGH WAS SITUATED FROM LAKE ERIE INTO CNTRL NY AND TSTMS WERE
INCREASING COINCIDENT WITH THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH AND INSTABILITY AXIS
WHERE CAPE WAS CURRENTLY AROUND 500-1000 J/KG. SFC TEMPERATURES WERE
ALREADY IN THE 70S F WITH 65-70 F DEWPOINTS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SUGGESTED THAT SFC HEATING WILL BE STRONGEST
ACROSS SERN NY INTO MA AND SRN NH. INITIAL LINE OF CONVECTION AND
RESULTANT CIRRUS SHIELD MAY INHIBIT INSTABILITY OVER SOME AREAS BUT
MAGNITUDE OF FORCING AND POTENTIAL MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION LATER TODAY
WILL TEND TO OFFSET WEAKER LAPSE RATES AND INSTABILITY CURRENTLY IN
PLACE. EXPECT LOCATIONS WITH MARGINAL INSOLATION TO REACH CAPE VALUES OF
1500-2000 J/KG PRIOR TO TSTM DEVELOPMENT.
PREFRONTAL LINE OF STORMS SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY AND ORGANIZATION
AS GREATER INSTABILITY IS REALIZED. A SECOND LINE OF SVR STORMS MAY ALSO
FORM ALONG THE SYNOPTIC FRONT. DEEP LAYER UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AS 75-80 KT MID LEVEL WIND MAX ROTATES ACROSS
NY/PA AND NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THIS EVENING. MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION
ALONG THE COLD FRONT WILL ALSO ENHANCE CONVECTIVE DOWNDRAFTS AND COLD
POOL GENERATION WITH BOW ECHO COMPLEX EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF
ERN NY AND NEW ENGLAND DURING TIME OF MAXIMUM DIURNAL DESTABILIZATION.
WHILE STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE AND SOME HAIL ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE
PRIMARY THREATS... BACKED LOW LEVEL FLOW WITHIN N-S VLYS MAY RESULT IN
SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL SHEAR FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.
...OH VALLEY...
THERMALLY DIRECT CIRCULATION WITHIN RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF STRONGLY
CURVED UPR JET WILL SUPPORT LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT DROPS SWD ACROSS IND/OH/WRN PA AND WV THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE /DEWPOINTS IN THE UPR 60S
F/ AND HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO VERY UNSTABLE
CONDITIONS WITH CAPE EXCEEDING 2000 J/KG IN SOME AREAS. THIS INSTABILITY
WILL SUPPORT INTENSE UPDRAFTS WITH SLY LOW LEVEL STORM RELATIVE FLOW
RESULTING IN RAPID SSEWD STORM PROPAGATION/LINE DEVELOPMENT. DEEP WLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR MAY ALLOW STORMS TO ORGANIZE INTO SMALL SCALE BOWS
WITH GREATER POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE. IN ADDITION...DEGREE OF
INSTABILITY WILL FAVOR LARGE HAIL.

...OH VALLEY TO NEW ENGLAND...
A VIGOROUS MID LEVEL TROUGH/70-80 KT SPEED MAX WILL MOVE ESEWD OVER

CYCLONE DEVELOPS OVER QUEBEC. IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH/SURFACE LOW...A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE SWD ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND EWD ACROSS NY/NEW ENGLAND BY TONIGHT.
BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS ARE GENERALLY IN THE MID-UPPER 60S IN THE WARM
SECTOR...AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL ALLOW SBCAPE VALUES TO INCREASE TO
2000-3000 J/KG. AT THE SAME TIME...MEAN WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 45-55 KT
OVER THE WARM SECTOR FROM W TO E...RESULTING IN RELATIVELY FAST STORM
MOTIONS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS WITH STORMS
ALONG AND SE OF THE COLD FRONT.
