Convective Discussion
Based on this morning’s upper air soundings, there is a potential for destabilization but only later in the afternoon or early this evening. The main supporting features are analyzed just east of the Great Lakes this morning and it will take some time before they reach our region. Parts of New Brunswick have a greater potential for thunderstorm initiation, though the limitations appear to be more significant in the north and therefore the threat is reduced.
