Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Tuesday 6/18/13 Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all..

..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms possible again this Tuesday Afternoon into early evening over portions of Southern New England. The threat has shifted a bit further south covering Massachusetts along and south of Route 2 to the coast and into Rhode Island and Connecticut. Damaging Winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding are the primary threats..
..Threat timeframe is any time after Noon today. Extent of severe weather threat looks to be less than yesterday due to earlier firing of thunderstorms meaning less unstable conditions but that will be monitored and heavy rainfall from thunderstorms given wet condtions of the past few weeks may pose a flooding concern in areas that receive thunderstorms today..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible this Tuesday Afternoon and Evening..

Yesterday, a short line to squall line of strong to severe thunderstorms affected portions of Southern New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut before falling apart over Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. The Local Storm Report providing reports of hail greater than 3/4″ in diameter, wind damage and flood reports can be seen at the following link:

For today, the cold frontal boundary is drapped over Southern New England. Satellite imagery shows clear skies once again which will offer for some heating. Doppler Radar at 730 AM showed shower activity in Eastern New York State. As we get into midday and early this afternoon, showers and thunderstorms will begin to organize over Southern New England, mainly along and south of Route 2 in Massachusetts and into Connecticut and Rhode Island. Heating looks to be less than yesterday as storms and cloud cover may occur earlier making the severe weather threat more isolated than yesterday but isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with lesser coverage over the area with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. In particular, thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and potential flooding given the recent rains over the past few weeks maybe the bigger concern today with severe weather being more isolated.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible this Tuesday Afternoon and Evening. This will be the only complete coordination message on today’s severe weather potential. A shortened coordination message will be issued as time allows and if Ops at NWS Taunton are initiated. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
