AT 15Z FRONT MOVING THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK STATE AND CENTRAL
PENNSYLVANIA WITH A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EMBEDDED IN
THE LINE.

FRONT IS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER TROUGH BECOMING NEGATIVELY TILTED
AND STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER TROUGH. STRONG LOW
LEVEL SHEAR AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH WEAK INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO
A SEVERE THREAT FOR THIS AFTERNOON NYC AND WEST AND INTO THE
LOWER HUDSON VALLEY. DAMAGING GUSTS POSSIBLE WITH THREAT OF
ISOLATED TORNADOES. FARTHER EAST ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS CONNECTICUT AND LONG ISLAND THROUGH 02Z.

SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH
A TIGHTENING GRADIENT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WINDS AT THE TOP OF
THE MIXED LAYER...AROUND 925-950 MB...ARE MODELED TO INCREASE TO
AROUND 40 KT THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GUSTS OF 35 TO
40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON.
