14. SPC
An upper-level trough will move across the lower Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic today. At the surface, a cold front will advance eastward across the Northeast. Ahead of the front, a narrow corridor of maximized low-level moisture is forecast to set up across western parts of southern New England this afternoon where surface dewpoints should be in the 50s F. This will allow a corridor of instability to develop around midday with thunderstorms initiating along the front.
This convection is forecast to move eastward across southern New England this afternoon. Forecast soundings at 21Z in southern New England show 0-6 km shear around 45 kt with steep low to mid-level lapse rates. This may be enough for storm rotation within the stronger cells. Hail and strong wind gusts will be the primary threats.
