Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Wednesday 5/31/17 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all…
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms possible to likely Wednesday afternoon and evening across Western, Central and Northern Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall with the potential for urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has this area in a marginal risk for severe weather for Wednesday..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely Wednesday Afternoon and Evening to monitor the severe weather potential..
The potential exists for a round of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms for Wednesday Afternoon and Evening across portions of Southern New England particularly north and west of the Boston to Providence corridor and especially over Northern Connecticut and Western, Central and Northern Massachusetts. There will be sufficient wind shear profiles aloft along with good cooling aloft to help with strong to severe thunderstorm development. The key item that is uncertain is the amount of clearing to allow for heating and destabilization of the atmosphere. If cloud cover remains over the area, it would mean a more limited severe weather potential while more sunshine would yield greater heating and destabilization and a more organized severe weather threat.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely Wednesday Afternoon and evening to monitor the severe weather potential. Another coordination message will be posted by 1100 AM Wednesday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook, Experimental Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and the SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
