Storm/Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Sunday 6/5/16 – Heavy Rainfall/Flood/Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all..

..Heavy rainfall and embedded thunderstorm activity expected Sunday Afternoon and Evening Across much of Southern New England. Urban and poor drainage flooding and possibly small river and stream flooding is the main threat. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed Western Connecticut into Berkshire County Massachusetts in a marginal risk for severe weather with damaging wind a possible additional threat though the main area of severe weather should be south and west of Southern New England based on the current forecast..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor conditions for flooding reports and measured rainfall reports in the region and any severe weather threat that develops in Western New England..

A storm system will approach Southern New England as we get into Sunday Afternoon and Evening and bring the potential for heavy rainfall and embedded thunderstorm activity Sunday Afternoon and Evening to much of Southern New England. Rainfall amounts of 1-2″ with isolated higher amounts in areas that have heavy rain train over the same area. This could bring the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding with the potential for some small river and small stream flooding as the main threat. There is also a secondary threat for severe weather in the form of damaging winds across Western Connecticut and Berkshire Massachusetts where SPC has placed this area in a marginal risk for severe weather. Most of the severe weather threat, however, should be south and west of Southern New England into the mid-atlantic states.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor conditions for flooding reports and measured rainfall reports in the region and any severe weather threat that develops in Western New England. This will be the last coordination message on this situation unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
