Hello to all..

..Tropical Storm Jose is expected to at least gradually intensify and after making a cyclonic loop 400 miles east-northeast of the southeastern Bahamas, it will gradually move west and northwestward and then nothward parallel to the US East Coast with the possibility of direct impacts in Southern New England in the Tuesday to Wednesday timeframe. Latest National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisory mentions interests from North Carolina northward to New England on the US East Coast should monitor the progress of Jose..
..The extent on specifics of impact are too early to state at this time but swells and rip currents along the New England Coast are likely. Heavy Rain, Gusty Winds, and Coastal Flooding and Beach Erosion along the South Coast of New England are potential threats..
..VoIP Hurricane Net and Hurricane Watch Net management are monitoring the progress of Jose. Since it is not near land, they are not active at this time..
..Interests in Southern New England should begin monitoring the progress of Tropical Storm Jose. This message’s intent, at this very early stage, is to have folks begin the monitoring process..

Tropical Storm Jose is currently a 70 MPH tropical storm making a cyclonic loop to the east-northeast of the Bahamas. Over the next few days, Jose is expected to track more towards the northwest and northward with some increase in forward speed and should at least gradually intensify. Model guidance has shifted a bit closer to the coast with some reliable guidance bringing Jose to near the 40 North/70 west benchmark just south of Nantucket. Other models are further west while others are still further east and there is considerable spread in the guidance. The NHC advisory mentions interests from North Carolina to New England should monitor the progress of Jose so that necessitates starting coordination messages. Given the spread in the model guidance, it is too early to state any direct impacts with the exception of swells and rip currents along the New England coast which are likely as we get into the weekend and early next week. Heavy Rains, Gusty Winds, and Coastal Flooding to South Coastal New England are all potential threats pending the track of Jose if a closer to the coast impact verifies Tuesday into Wednesday. The track error ‘cone of uncertainty’ is approaching Southern New England with the latest forecast package.

Amateur Radio and Non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN Spotters should continue to keep high situational awareness regarding the track and intensity of Tropical Storm Jose. People should gradually begin reviewing their preparedness measures for tropical storm/hurricane force conditions as a precaution. This information has been provided via the Hurricane Preparedness:

Hello to all…

..Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible to likely across Western and North-Central Massachusetts and Northwest Connecticut but timing is for late Tuesday Afternoon into Tuesday Night where the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has maintained the region in a marginal to slight risk for severe weather. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall leading to urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding are the main threats..
..As we get into later Tuesday Night into Wednesday Night, the severe weather threat wanes across western areas but heavy rainfall and localized urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding is possible across portions of Southern New England and there is a marginal risk for severe weather over a localized area of Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts area for Wednesday..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor activity later this afternoon and tonight. SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible as we get into Wednesday for urban and poor drainage flooding and flash flooding..
..This message also contains a Special Announcement regarding Hurricane Irma Amateur Radio Hurricane Net activation plans..

A strong cold front will be moving towards New England on Tuesday and will have sufficiently strong wind shear values and moisture pooling ahead of the front. The cold frontal timing is slower than originally projected and will now affect the region late Tuesday Afternoon into Tuesday Night with the best timeframe between 5-10 PM. This may limit the coverage of strong to severe thunderstorms as it will be towards the end of the peak heating cycle. An increasing concern exists for Wednesday into Wednesday Night for urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding from showers and non-severe thunderstorms during this timeframe with a marginal risk for severe weather and isolated severe thunderstorms across Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will be utilized to monitor activity late Tuesday Afternoon through late Tuesday Night. SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible as we get into Wednesday into Wednesday Night. Another coordination message on Wednesday’s flood potential will be posted by 1130 PM EDT Tuesday Evening.

..Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible to likely across Western and North-Central Massachusetts and Northwest Connecticut Tuesday Afternoon into Tuesday Night where the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed the region in a marginal to slight risk for severe weather. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall leading to urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding are the main threats..
..As we get into later Tuesday Night into Wednesday Night, the severe weather threat but heavy rainfall and localized urban and poor drainage flooding to flash flooding is possible across portions of Southern New England..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely any time after 200 PM Tuesday Afternoon through late Tuesday Evening. SKYWARN Activation of some type with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible as we get into Wednesday..
..This message also contains a Special Announcement regarding Hurricane Irma Amateur Radio Hurricane Net activation plans..

A strong cold front will be moving towards New England on Tuesday and will have sufficiently strong wind shear values and moisture pooling ahead of the front. While there will be some cloud cover, there is still expected to be sufficient heating for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms particularly across Western and North-Central Massachusetts and into Northwest Connecticut but could come as far east as the Boston to Providence corridor. The cold front will be slowing its approach toward Southern New England so areas south and east of Boston to Providence may see little to no rainfall. The headlines of the coordination message capture the severe weather situation well and the timing of the severe weather into the marginal to slight risk areas is between 2-10 PM on Tuesday.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are likely any time after 200 PM Tuesday Afternoon through late Tuesday Evening. SKYWARN Activation of some type with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible as we get into Wednesday. Another coordination message will be posted by 1000 AM EDT Tuesday Morning.

Hello to all…

..The disturbance that was classified as Potential Tropical Cyclone 10 will intensify as a non-tropical entity to become a nor’easter or ocean storm bringing strong to damaging winds and some rainfall to Southeast New England if the system tracks close enough to Southern New England..
..A Wind Advisory is in effect for Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to around 50 MPH. These winds will bring isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. Wind Gusts around 40 MPH could occur in Southeast Plymouth into Southern Bristol County Massachusetts depending on storm track..
..A High Surf Advisory is in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands and expanded to include Washington County Rhode Island through 8 PM Wednesday Evening for high surf and dangerous rip currents for any people going to the beach during this timeframe..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for tonight through early Wednesday Afternoon..

The disturbance that was potential tropical cyclone 10 will intensify as a non-tropical entity into a nor’easter type ocean storm. Models consensus has been a bit further to the south but still close enough between the low pressure system to the south and high pressure to the north to allow for strong to damaging winds over the Cape and Islands and a period of rain particularly over the Cape and Islands with wind gusts to 40 MPH and light rain possible over Southeast Coastal New England. Rainfall amounts will be less than 1″ in most areas with some rainfall amounts of around 1″ or more on the islands and possibly the Outer Cape. High surf and rip currents will be an issue along the coast.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for tonight through early Wednesday Afternoon. This will be the last coordination message on this storm system unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs.

Hello to all…

..Potential Tropical Cyclone 10 is less likely to become a tropical entity but will intensify to become a nor’easter or hybrid type system bringing strong to damaging winds and some rainfall to Southeast New England if the system tracks close enough to Southern New England..
..A High Wind Watch is in effect for Nantucket Island from late tonight through Wednesday Afternoon for sustained winds of 30-40 MPH with gusts to 50-60 MPH possible. A Wind Advisory is in effect for Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard for sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 45-50 MPH. These winds will bring isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and power outages. Wind Gusts around 40 MPH could occur in Southeast Plymouth into Southern Bristol County Massachusetts depending on storm track..
..A High Surf Advisory is in effect for Cape Cod and the Islands from 8 PM Tuesday Evening through 8 PM Wednesday Evening for high surf and dangerous rip currents for any people going to the beach during this timeframe..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for tonight through early Wednesday Afternoon..

Potential tropical cyclone 10, while less likely to become a tropical entity, will intensify as a non-tropical or hybrid system into a nor’easter type coastal storm. Models have been in two camps with one set of reliable models tracking near or inside the 40 North/70 West benchmark while other models are more off shore to the south of the 40 North/70 West benchmark. A consensus blend is being used and currently this is expected to bring some strong to damaging winds to Cape Cod and the Islands with some wind gusts around 40 MPH possible in Southern Bristol and Southeast Plymouth County Massachusetts. Rainfall amounts will be less than 1″ in most areas with some rainfall amounts of around 1″ or more on the islands and possibly the Outer Cape. High surf and rip currents will be an issue along the coast.

SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the storm system for tonight through early Wednesday Afternoon. An updated coordination message will be posted by 1000 PM EDT Tuesday Evening.

Hello to all…

..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch #463 in effect through 1200 AM EDT Wednesday Morning for Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin Counties of Massachusetts and Litchfield County Connecticut. Areas in and close to the watch area should monitor for Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms with strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall and urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out in the Severe Thunderstorm Watch area. SPC continues a slight to marginal risk for severe weather across western and central New England area..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton is now active and will remain active through and possibly after 1200 AM EDT for severe weather potential..

Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are moving through New York State and Pennsylvania and will sweep through Southern New England late tonight through the first part of the overnight hours Wednesday Morning. The key on the severe weather potential will be the level of instability that remains during overnight with the forcing of the cold front and the stronger wind shear that will be moving into the area later tonight into the first part of the overnight hours Wednesday Morning. Across Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the severe weather threat should be less given the timeframe of the frontal passage and waning instability despite favorable shear values but these areas will also be monitored in case the shear, jet dynamics and frontal forcing allows it to overcome the unfavorable frontal timing and waning instability.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton is now active and will remain active through and possibly after 1200 AM EDT for severe weather potential. This will be the last coordination message now that we are in operations mode.

Hello to all…

..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are possible late Tuesday Afternoon through Tuesday Night particularly across Western and Central Massachusetts and Western and Central Connecticut. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall leading to urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center has placed this area in a marginal risk for severe weather with a slight risk of severe weather further west in New York State..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible anytime after 4 PM Tuesday Afternoon..

Heat and humidity will be entrenched over Southern New England Tuesday with a cold front approaching and moving through New York State Tuesday Evening and sweeping across Southern New England overnight Tuesday into Wednesday Morning. Wind shear will be sufficient for severe weather potential. Instability is a bit more in question though some models have trended toward higher instability in later runs. The other question will be the forcing of the cold front and if that will reach Southern New England with sufficient instability to tap into for severe weather potential to be realized or if the wind shear can compensate for a lower level of instability in Southern New England.

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible anytime after 4 PM Tuesday Afternoon. Another coordination message will be posted by 9 AM Tuesday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook, Experimental Enhanced Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
