Severe Weather/Flash Flood Coordination Message #1 – Monday July 8th, 2013 Severe Weather/Flash Flood Potential

Hello to all..

..Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and flash flood potential and Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms possible to likely today across much of Southern New England. Urban/poor drainage flooding, small river/stream flooding, strong to damaging winds and hail are the primary threats..
..A Flash Flood Watch is now in effect from 11 AM Monday to Midnight Tuesday for Southern New Hampshire, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Northern Worcester, and Northern Middlesex Counties of Massachusetts and Hartford and Tolland Counties of Connecticut..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely anytime after Noon today..

The high pressure system that brought a heat wave to much of Southern New England has weakened a bit and has slid further south. This has allowed a stalled out upper level low pressure system that was to the west of the region and had brought several days of thunderstorms, flash flooding, and severe weather to begin influencing out weather again resulting in isolated severe weather across interior Southern New England Sunday.

As we get into Monday, another round of thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and flash flood potential and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible to likely today across much of interior Southern New England as another wave of energy approaches the region and allows for thunderstorm development with heavy rainfall and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop. Urban/poor drainage flooding, small river/stream flooding, strong to damaging winds and hail are the primary threats. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Southern New Hampshire, Western and North-Central Massachusetts and North-Central Connecticut from 11 AM today to Midnight Tuesday.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely anytime after Noon today. This will be the only complete coordination message on today’s threat. A shortened coordination message will be issued if time allows and Ops at NWS Taunton are initiated. Below are the NWS Taunton Flash Flood Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook:
