The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 511
continues.
SUMMARY...The threat for damaging gusts continues across Severe
Thunderstorm Watch 0511. Damaging gusts will be primarily associated
with a line of storms.
DISCUSSION...A low-topped squall line is currently moving across
eastern PA and northeast MD, with a history of at least scattered
wind damage from Cumberland to Lebanon and Lancaster Counties in PA,
down to Frederick County MD. Storm tops barely reach 25 kft, and the
anticipated line is expected to continue in an ambient thermodynamic
environment characterized by surface temperatures exceeding 60F and
very marginal buoyancy (with the latest RAP forecast soundings
showing 100-150 J/kg MUCAPE, mainly within the 850-600 mb layer).
Despite the weak, elevated instability, very strong forcing for
ascent and intense low-level wind fields suggest that any downward
momentum transport would support damaging gusts with the more mature
segments of the squall. The damaging wind threat is expected to
continue until the squall moves offshore, which will likely be
within the next 2.5-3.5 hours.
