Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Thursday August 7th 2014 – Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all..

..Scattered Strong Thunderstorms with Isolated severe thunderstorms likely across much of Southern New England today. Strong Winds and small hail likely with isolated damaging winds and large hail possible as well. Urban and Poor drainage flooding to flash flooding is also a threat..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 11 AM today and last through early evening..

While conditions won’t be quite as warm and humid as Wednesday, there will be heating through the day and there will be a pool of very cold temperatures aloft. This temperature difference will create sufficient instability coupled with sufficient wind shear profiles for scattered strong thunderstorms with isolated severe thunderstorms today. Strong winds and small hail are likely with hail in thunderstorms quite likely because of very low freezing level in the atmosphere due to the cold temperatures aloft. Isolated damaging winds and large hail are possible along with urban and poor drainage flooding also possible in areas that receive the thunderstorms. Much of Southern New England could see the scattered strong to isolated severe thunderstorm threat but Eastern New England is expected to be a bit more favorable. The threat will begin around midday lasting through early evening.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 11 AM today and last through early evening. This will be the only coordination message on today’s severe weather threat. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook:
