Convective Discussion: A cold front will track across western New Brunswick this afternoon and eastern New Brunswick on Saturday. Falling heights ahead of an approaching vorticity max is occurring this afternoon. Lots of cloud around today which may limit the severe potential over western New Brunswick. Today over western New Brunswick, PWAT values of 30-35 mm, linear shear near 30 knots and Cape of 500-1000 J/kg are expected. The CAPE is very cloud dependent and so the severe weather potential all hinges on that. On Saturday lots of sun is expected in the noted area which will likely produce small hail, downpours and gusty winds. PWAT values of 30-35 mm, linear shear of 20-30 knots and Cape of 500-1000 J/kg are expected.
