   Concerning...Tornado Watch 617...

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 617 continues.

   SUMMARY...Locally damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado or two remain
   possible across portions of Tornado Watch 617 in this evening.

   DISCUSSION...A band of low-topped thunderstorms is tracking eastward
   across portions of eastern NY this afternoon, though weak
   instability has generally limited updraft intensity thus far.
   However, very strong west-southwesterly deep-layer flow/shear could
   still support locally damaging gusts if any updrafts within the line
   are able to mature. And, with around 400 m2/s2 effective SRH ahead
   of the convection, a brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out.
