Mesoscale Discussion 1900 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0718 PM CDT Mon Aug 07 2023 Areas affected...Hudson Valley to western Long Island Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 608... Valid 080018Z - 080215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 608 continues. SUMMARY...Damaging winds are possible with thunderstorms this evening. DISCUSSION...MCS that evolved over southeast PA continues its eastward surge early this evening. Latest radar data suggests an MCV is located along the PA/NJ line over eastern Monroe County PA. This feature is lifting northeast and will likely track across Orange County NY in the next 1-1.5 hours. Primary bowing segment south of the MCV is now surging off the NJ Coast, so the most organized portion of the MCS should focus across the lower Hudson Valley over the next few hours. Damaging winds are the primary concern.
