Severe Weather Coordination Message #4 – Tuesday 7/24/12 Severe Weather Potential
Hello to all..
..A few strong thunderstorms affected the region early this morning with winds up to 40 MPH, small hail, heavy downpours and frequent lightning..
..A Cold front will approach the region this afternoon and evening. The cold frontal timing is expected to be around the time of peak heating which will set the stage for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail, and urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has kept Central and Eastern New England in a Slight Risk of severe weather for late Tuesday Morning through Tuesday Evening and NWS Taunton is in agreement..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely late Tuesday Morning through Tuesday Evening..
Early this morning, a line of strong but non-severe thunderstorms went through the region bringing 40 MPH wind gusts, small hail, frequent lightning and heavy downpours. This activity has moved offshore. Satellite imagery shows fairly clear skies to allow for heating and destabilization. Wind shear profiles and other severe weather parameters should be sufficient for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the primary threats. It is noted that SPC has continued a slight risk for severe weather for Central and Eastern New England and this is the area to be watched for this afternoon and tonight.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely late Morning Tuesday through Tuesday Evening. This will be the last complete coordination message on this threat. A shortened coordination message will be issued if time allows and Ops at NWS Taunton are initiated. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook, and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook:
