Hello to all…
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms are possible in interior Southern New England for late Saturday Afternoon and Evening as a strong cold front and storm system that has brought significant severe weather to the Midwest and Southeast United States sweeps through our region. Strong to damaging winds, hail and heavy downpours leading to brief urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of Connecticut, Western, Central and interior Northeast Massachusetts in a slight risk for severe weather with the rest of Southern New England in a marginal risk for severe weather. The current threat timeframe is between 5-11 PM EDT Saturday late afternoon and evening..
..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the severe weather potential for later Saturday Afternoon and Evening..
A strong cold front and storm system responsible for the major severe weather outbreak in the Midwest and Southeast United States will have the potential to bring some isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to Southern New England. The headlines depict the current thinking. Key factors include:
1.) The amount of clearing to allow for destabilization of the atmosphere to tap into other favorable instability parameters and very strong wind fields.
2.) Ability for strong wind fields and other favorable instability parameters to compensate if there is a lack of heating for destabilization.
3.) The timing of the cold front into Southern New England to act as a trigger for strong to severe thunderstorms in addition to factors 1 and 2.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the severe weather potential for later Saturday Afternoon and Evening. Another coordination message will be posted by 11 AM Saturday Morning.
