Severe Thunderstorms to Pound the Northeast with Damaging Winds, Hail

Severe thunderstorms will fire up in the Northeast on Tuesday, bringing a threat for hail and damaging wind gusts ahead of a cold front pushing through the region.
An upper-air disturbance will slide in from the Great Lakes, providing lift and instability in the atmosphere.
By late-June standards, it will not be oppressively hot or humid ahead of the cold front, and deep-layer wind shear will be somewhat marginal to support supercell thunderstorms. These factors will keep this from being a more widespread, damaging outbreak.
