Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Friday July 15th, 2016 Severe Weather/Heat Potential

Hello to all..

..Isolated to scattered strong to possibly severe thunderstorms possible today across Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. Strong Winds, Hail, urban and poor drainage flooding from heavy rainfall and frequent lightning are the main threats. Threat is contingent on a stalled frontal boundary that causes last night’s isolated strong to severe thunderstorms across Western and Central Massachusetts being enough focus to tap into sufficient instability and shear in the atmosphere..
..Also, it will be very hot and humid today and caution is advised on strenuous outdoor activities..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor conditions today with Ops at NWS Taunton Possible. Below is the NWS Taunton Area Forecast Discussion detailing today’s thunderstorm potential and a Special Weather Statement on today’s heat and humidity..
