   Mesoscale Discussion 1955
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0125 PM CDT Mon Aug 19 2024

   Areas affected...portions of New England

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 191825Z - 192030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

   SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm activity may produce strong to
   severe gusts through the afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity ongoing along and ahead of a cold
   front across portions of New England has shown an uptick in coverage
   over the last hour. Much of the region has been under mid-level
   cloud cover through the morning. However, a few breaks in the clouds
   have allowed temperatures to warm into the 80s with MLCAPE around
   500-1000 J/kg. Deep layer shear for organization remains mostly
   offshore, with poor low to mid-level lapse rates. A few clusters of
   stronger storms may produce strong to severe gusts at times.
   Overall, the lack of support for organization of a more widespread
   severe threat will keep this threat localized precluding the need to
   for a watch.
