Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Thursday July 30th 2015 Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all..

..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms likely across much of Southern New England Thursday Afternoon and Evening. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall leading to urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats anytime after 2 PM Thursday..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed Western, Central and parts of interior Northeast Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut in a marginal risk for severe weather for Thursday Afternoon and Evening and this extends through much of Northern New England as well..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 2 PM EDT lasting through early evening to monitor this potential..

After several days of pockets of severe weather and flooding across parts of Southern New England, Wednesday was dry across the region though hot and humid. On Thursday, a cold front will be making its way through the region during the afternoon and evening hours with the hot and humid out ahead of the front. This should set the stage for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across much of Southern New England with strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall leading to urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats anytime after 2 PM Thursday. The extent of any severe threat is whether the wind shear lags the cold front or is along and head of the cold front and any cloud cover that will inhibit instability. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed Western, Central and parts of interior Northeast Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut in a marginal risk for severe weather for Thursday Afternoon and Evening and this extends through much of Northern New England as well.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 2 PM EDT lasting through early evening to monitor this potential. Another coordination message will be posted by 900 AM Thursday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
