I'm really watching those dewpoints because they will certainly factor into development today. Lots of stations into the lower 70's for dews. I still think there may be some dewpoint pooling later and we see dews in the 74-76 range. If those dews can get into S NH and any discrete cell can get going...yikes.
High-end severe is certainly difficult to obtain here, especially on a widespread scale. It's so difficult to advect an EML into our region and it's even more difficult to time it with an advancing shortwave/front.
I was a little shocked to see the enhanced expanded south some given the trends through the day yesterday and 0z guidance. But all the ingredients are there so I can see why it was expanded.
Well I am probably going to go to Walpole, NH to at least start but I will most likely probably have to head northeast from there but can assess once stuff starts popping up. Probably end up near Laconia or maybe slightly east.
Was just looking at the 12z balloon launches from Albany (and even Upton) and there is an evident cap in place. The better forcing and height falls during the day will be northern and central New England and that should be enough to break any capping up there.
South into Mass and CT I don't think the cap breaks. Seems too strong to me and by the time it may break with that approaching shortwave the best dynamics may be lifting out. I'm not even sure if there will be much activity across Mass.
But anyone in Mass and CT should definitely not let their guard down. All it takes is for one cell to get going and develop a mature enough updraft and it will have plenty to CAPE/shear to utilize.
WE'll have to watch the progression of the warm front too. It seems the trend has been to lift the warm front north and east a bit more quickly.
