RIDGE OVER THE NORTHEAST HAS BEGUN TO FLATTEN TODAY...WITH WEAK WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT PRESENT ACROSS NY INTO NEW ENGLAND. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY HINTS AT A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ACROSS EASTERN ONTARIO...WHICH MAY HELP TO INITIATE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. VERTICAL SHEAR REMAINS RATHER WEAK. HOWEVER...STRONG HEATING AND DEWPOINTS WELL INTO THE 60S...ALONG WITH 500MB TEMPERATURES BELOW -10C WILL DESTABILIZE AIR MASS AND LEAD TO SCATTERED STORMS. HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN STRONGER CELLS.
