Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Wednesday June 26th, 2013 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms remain likely today over much of Southern New England as heat and humidity continues to combine with weak disturbances in the atmosphere to allow for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorm development. Damaging Winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continued to have the region in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather Today..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday Afternoon lasting through Wednesday Evening..
Severe Weather potential for today still looks more active than Tuesday across the region as a more defined impulse and trigger will move into Southern New England as we get into the afternoon and evening hours with sufficient 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. It is noted on Satellite imagery that there is some clouds over New York State with the thickest clouds over Northern New York State but in Southern New England skies remain mostly sunny to sunny which should allow for sufficient destabilization of the atmosphere before any cloud cover moves into the area. This instability coupled with wind shear profiles that will be a bit stronger than the last two days should allow for a bit greater coverage of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continues to have much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather for today. The threat timeframe for severe weather should be anytime after 2-3 PM this afternoon.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday. This will be the last coordination message for Wednesday’s severe weather potential. Additional severe weather potential continues to exist for the remainder of this week into this weekend and will be monitored with coordination messages issued as required. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook.
