Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Saturday July 7th, 2012 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are likely Saturday Afternoon and Evening across much of Southern New England. Damaging Winds, Large Hail and urban and poor drainage flooding are the primary threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and NWS Taunton are in agreement on a Slight Risk for Severe Weather Saturday Afternoon and Evening..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely Saturday Afternoon and Evening..
A cold front will approach the region Saturday Afternoon and Evening bringing more seasonable temperatures and less humidity for the first half of next week. As the front approaches, the atmosphere should be unstable with good wind shear profiles aloft. Some other severe weather parameters are not quite as favorable but the approach of the cold front into an unstable atmosphere with reasonably strong wind shear should allow for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop over the region with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. The threat timeframe will be Saturday Afternoon into Saturday Evening and SPC and NWS Taunton are in agreement on a slight risk for severe weather for that timeframe.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely on Saturday. Another coordination message will be issued by Noon Saturday. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
