Severe Weather Coordination Message #2 – Monday 8/26/24 Late Morning through Early Evening Severe Weather/Flood Potential
Hello to all…
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are likely for Monday from late morning to early evening from around 11 AM-9 PM EDT across much of Southern New England. 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 Southern New England in a slight risk for severe weather for Monday. 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 which currently looks on track with strong heating and destabilization taking place..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation with Amateur Radio Net Call-Ups are likely 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 as we shift into operations mode. Below is the NWS Boston/Norton Area Forecast Discussion, Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook..
