Severe Weather Coordination Message #1 – Thursday PM & Evening Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all…
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are possible for Thursday from mid-afternoon to early evening from around 3-9 PM EDT across much of interior Southern New England with areas of Central and Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island the favorable area for these storms. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy downpours leading to urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of interior Southern New England in a marginal risk for severe weather for today. Key factors will be heating and destabilization to take advantage of cold air aloft to offset relatively marginal/weak wind shear for strong to severe thunderstorm development..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Net Call-Ups are possible today for the severe weather potential. Pictures and videos of storm damage, hail, flooding can be sent as a reply to this message, via our WX1BOX Facebook/Twitter feeds or via the email address pics@nsradio.org with credit given to the spotter unless otherwise indicated. This will be the only coordination message on the Thursday severe weather potential. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion, Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook..
