Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Sunday July 15th 2012 Severe Weather Potential – Activation and Ops Starting at 3 PM ET

Hello to all..

..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are likely in Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut late this afternoon and evening. These storms could reach portions of Northeast Massachusetts and Northwest Rhode Island this evening. Strong to Damaging Winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding are the primary threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 3PM Sunday Afternoon..

A warm front will make its way through Southern New England this Afternoon and Evening bringing with it oppressive heat and humidity for the first half of this week. At 1130 AM, satellite imagery shows some high clouds over the area but plenty of sunshine allowing for heating and destablization. Doppler Radar at 1130 AM shows some activity in Central and Eastern New York that could gradually become better organized as it gets into Western parts of New England after 300 PM today. The unstable atmosphere combined with wind shear values should be sufficient for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with strong to damaging winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. The primary threat area is over Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut after 300 PM today but could reach portions of Northeast Massachusetts and extreme Northwest Rhode Island this evening. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and NWS Taunton remain in agreement on an isolated to scattered threat of strong to severe thunderstorms for Sunday Afternoon and evening.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 3 PM this Sunday Afternoon. This will be the last coordination message on today’s threat. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
