the severe weather threat for tornado watch 25 continues.
summary...the risk for, mainly, marginally severe hail and locally
damaging wind gusts may persist another couple of hours, but this
potential appears unlikely to develop eastward across new york
state, or to the east/southeast of the allegheny mountains.
discussion...surface observations have indicated further downward
mixing of surface dew points with continuing daytime heating ahead
of convection spreading into the allegheny plateau, with surface
winds remaining westerly to southwesterly across surface troughing
into the higher terrain. while low-level hodographs may be
conditionally supportive of tornadic potential near the trough, it
is not clear that thermodynamic profiles are supportive.
eastward, and particularly to the east/southeast of the crest of the
allegheny mountains, cool to cold and stable boundary-layer air is
either being maintained or slow to erode. as stronger storms cross
the higher terrain into and through early evening, they should tend
to weaken with diminishing risk of producing severe hail and
damaging surface gusts.
