Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Wednesday June 26th, 2013 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..Another Round of Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms potentially more numerous than Tuesday are expected across much of interior Southern New England and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather again on Wednesday with damaging winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday lasting through Wednesday Evening. The start time may be adjusted slightly as we get closer to the potential severe weather event Wednesday..
On Tuesday, strong to severe thunderstorms were more isolated today affecting portions of Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut with isolated pockets of wind damage. Wind damage was a bit more concentrated in the Tolland to Willington to Ashford CT area where the only Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Tuesday was issued in the NWS Taunton Coverage area. A bit less instability than Monday and less of a trigger helped to make for a more isolated severe weather threat for Tuesday.
As we get into Wednesday, a more defined impulse and trigger will move into Southern New England as we get into the afternoon and evening hours with greater instability. This will set the stage for yet another round of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms potentially more numerous than what occurred on Tuesday. Instability should be sufficient coupled with wind shear profiles that we will be a bit stronger than the last two days. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather on Wednesday with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the main threats.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday. This timeframe may be adjusted slightly as we get closer to the potential severe weather event Wednesday. The next coordination message will be issued by 1030 AM Wednesday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
