Severe Weather/Flash Flood Coordination Message #2 – Saturday June 29th, 2013 Flash Flood/Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all..

..Another round of thunderstorms with flood and flash flood potential and Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail potential again across much of Southern New England this afternoon and evening..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed portions of New England from Western Massachusetts northward through Southern New Hampshire in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather but all areas should monitor for thunderstorms with flood/flash flood potential and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Saturday through evening to monitor flood/flash flood and severe weather potential..

Early this morning, south coastal Massachusetts from the Westport, Dartmouth, New Bedford and Fairhaven area through Cape Cod had a severe thunderstorm move through the area with pockets of wind damage, flooding and ground strikes of lightning as it went through the area. Another area of briefly heavy rain will affect this area over the next couple hours.

Satellite imagery shows significant clearing working its way through portions of Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. It is unclear how much further east the clearing will go but this clearing will allow for the atmosphere to destabilize and combined with good shear profiles will bring about another round of thunderstorms with flood and flash flood potential and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail potential as well. The greatest risk area appears to be across Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut but eastern areas should monitor as well. SPC has placed the area from Western Massachusetts to Southern New Hampshire northward into Northern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather today.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Saturday through evening to monitor flood/flash flood and severe weather potential. This will be the last message on Saturday’s severe weather potential. Below are the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
