DISCUSSION...In response to weak low-level warm advection, isolated thunderstorms are developing along the northeastern periphery of a large-scale ridge. Here, 30-40 kt of midlevel northwesterly flow is yielding an elongated/mostly straight hodograph (around 30 kt of effective shear). This wind profile, coupled with an influx of steep midlevel lapse rates atop a shallow low-level stable layer, may support a couple elevated/transient supercell structures -- capable of producing isolated severe hail. Given the weak forcing for ascent, storm longevity and overall evolution is uncertain. ..Weinman/Guyer.. 07/03/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
