There is a bit of uncertainty regarding the overall potential due to the anticipated timing of the strong cold front, however, the potential exists for multiple fast-moving line segments capable of producing damaging winds and perhaps hail (especially with any splitting supercells). A fairly vigorous shortwave trough amplifies as it approaches New England with a plume of steeper lapse rates moving through aloft and a strengthening mid-level jet on order of 50-60 knots. At the surface we'll see temperatures pushing well into the 80's...perhaps near 90 depending on overall timing of the front with dewpoints well into the 60's to near 70. Combination of heat and humidity with steeper lapse rates should yield a moderately unstable atmosphere...BUT this could be limited with a faster fropa. Should timing of the front slow down we could see some pockets of widespread wind damage. Forecast soundings indicate a textbook inverted-V signature indicating increased potential for damaging winds and long/straight hodographs suggest splitting supercells/hail potential
