    Concerning...Tornado Watch 617...

    Valid 091827Z - 092000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 617 continues.

    SUMMARY...Within Tornado Watch 617, a potentially favorable corridor
    for a couple tornadoes is evident from southeastern NY into western
    MA and southern VT this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery indicates filtered
    diurnal heating (temperatures climbing into the upper 70s/lower 80s)
    within small cloud breaks in the vicinity of an east/west-oriented
    warm front moving slowly northward across southeastern NY to near MA
    and VT. Given the high-PW/tropical airmass in place, this heating
    may yield sufficient (albeit weak) MLCAPE for a couple low-topped, surface-based showers/storms this afternoon. Any convection that can
    root in the boundary layer may evolve into low-topped supercells,
    aided by strong deep-layer flow/shear associated with Post-Tropical
    Cyclone Debby.=20

    Additionally, the aforementioned corridor will be located beneath
    the core of a northward-advancing low-level jet during peak heating
    -- on the eastern periphery of the most substantial surface-pressure
    falls. Here, large, clockwise-curved/sickle-shaped hodographs
    (around 400 m2/s2 0-500m SRH per KENX VWP), will conditionally
    support a couple tornadoes with the more robust surface-based
    convection.
