Areas affected...eastern CT...RI...southeast MA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 032135Z - 032330Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally severe gusts (50-60 mph)
capable of pockets of wind damage are possible through 8pm EDT.  The
isolated coverage of the expected wind threat will preclude a severe
thunderstorm watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...A warm/moist boundary layer is evident in late
afternoon surface observations (temperatures in the upper 80s to 90
with mid 70 deg F dewpoints) over southern New England ahead of a
small strong-severe thunderstorm cluster in southwest parts of CT. 
This activity will likely move east-northeast over the next few
hours.  Short-term model forecast soundings show upwards of 2000+
J/kg MLCAPE with PW around 1.9 inches.  A couple of the stronger
thunderstorm cores may yield a localized damaging wind risk into the
evening before this activity weakens.
