Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Thursday May 23rd, 2013 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..Another Round of Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are possible to likely this Thursday Afternoon and Evening. The greatest threat area is in Western New England but areas from the I-95 corridor north and west may also see an isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorm. Damaging Winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. SPC has placed portions of Western New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather. Key conditions for severe weather potential will again be the amount of daytime heating and destablization as wind/shear profiles would be favorable for severe weather..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely this Thursday Afternoon and Evening..
At 745 AM, Satellite Imagery indicates cloud cover with some breaks over much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states with radar indicating a few scattered showers over the area. The key item for today’s severe weather potential will be the amount of heating and destablization over the area. If enough breaks in the cloud cover develop, isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible to likely particularly over Western New England but possibly as far south and east as the I-95 corridor with damaging winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. If daytime heating is insufficent, thunderstorms with heavy downpours will be likely and there will be a need to monitor these storms for their flood potential over parts of the area.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely Thrusday Afternoon and evening. This will be the only complete coordination message to be issued on today’s severe weather potential. A shortened coordination message will be issued if time allows and Ops at NWS Taunton are intiiated. Below are the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
