   Areas affected...portions of northern MD...eastern PA...far southern
   NY...NJ...and northern DE

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 251922Z - 252115Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Sporadic strong wind gusts are possible with thunderstorms
   this afternoon to early evening.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are gradually increasing in intensity
   this afternoon along an eastward-advancing cold front oriented from
   central NY/PA  into western MD. Cloud cover has persisted most of
   the day, but some cloud breaks have allowed temperatures to warm
   into the mid-70s to near 80 F amid a moist boundary layer. Limited
   heating and poor lapse rates will preclude stronger destabilization.
   Nevertheless, supercell wind profiles are present, per regional VWP
   data, but boundary-parallel flow will most favor line segments. Weak
   instability (up to 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE) could support sporadic
   strong gusts, especially across southeast PA and vicinity where
   stronger heating has occurred. Overall severe potential is expected
   to remain low, but a stronger storm or two will be possible. A watch
   is not expected at this time.
