Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Monday Evening 5/1/17-Tuesday Morning 5/2/17 Severe Weather Potential

Hello to all…

..Isolated to scattered strong to possibly severe thunderstorms are possible across Western Massachusetts and Western Connecticut during the evening and overnight hours. Strong to damaging winds and heavy downpours with the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed Western Massachusetts through Western Connecticut in a marginal to slight risk of severe weather..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will likely monitor this strong to severe thunderstorm potential today. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible though current thinking is this will be handled via SKYWARN Self-Activation..

A warm front will push through portions of Western and Central New England today with a cold front to follow starting out through New York State and Pennsylvania Monday Afternoon and early evening and pushing through New England later Monday Evening into Tuesday Morning. Instability levels will be low given the timing of the front but strong winds and strong jet dynamics may compensate and allow for an isolated to scattered strong to possibly severe thunderstorm threat across Western Massachusetts and Western Connecticut with strong to damaging winds and heavy downpours with the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will likely monitor this strong to severe thunderstorm potential today. Ops at NWS Taunton are possible though current thinking is this will be handled via SKYWARN Self-Activation. A shortened coordination message will be issued if an upgrade to the situation occurs and/or Ops at NWS Taunton are initiated and time allows for an update. Below is the SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook and NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and Experimental Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook:
