Severe Weather Coordination Message #4 – Post Severe Weather Coordination for Monday July 7th, 2014/Wednesday July 9th, 2014 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..Lack of trigger during Tuesday Afternoon and Early Evening and late arriving line of what were strong to severe thunderstorms out in New York and Pennsylvania precluded any severe weather in the NWS Taunton Coverage Area. Microburst found in Bedford Massachusetts from the Monday July 7th 2014 severe weather outbreak. Pictures from the severe weather from Monday can be sent to the pics@nsradio.org email address or as a reply to this email..
..For Wednesday, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm is possible with strong winds, hail and heavy rainfall with the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding but instability levels may not be as high as the past 2 days due to a large amount of mid-level dry air and again the triggering mechanism may remain west of our area. That being said, if thunderstorms can organize efficiently, wind shear levels aloft are very high and would allow for a threat for severe weather. This will be monitored through the day..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor any potential strong to severe thunderstorms for today. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible if thunderstorm coverage increases sufficiently..
The New York State and Pennsylvania area had a widespread severe weather outbreak Tuesday across their region. Across Southern New England, lack of a strong trigger was unable to tap the unstable atmosphere and favorable wind shear profiles resulting in a few scattered non-severe thunderstorms in the western part of the region. When the trigger mechanism provided by a trough and impulse across New York State arrived in western parts of our coverage area, it was well past peak heating, resulting in no severe weather across our region.
Regarding Monday’s severe weather outbreak, a microburst was classified in Bedford Massachusetts and towns surrounding Bedford such as Woburn, Winchester, Lexington, Burlington, Malden etc. likely had similar straight-line wind damage.
