[SKYWARN_Announce] Severe Weather Coordination Message #1

[rmacedo at rcn.com]

Hello to all... 

..Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms possible to likely across portions of Southern New England Tuesday anytime between Noon and 8 PM EDT. Strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall with urban and poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed the region in a marginal risk for severe weather for Tuesday.. 
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at Noon EDT to monitor severe weather potential.. 

Tuesday will mark the end of a string of hot and humid days as a cold front will move south over the region during the day on Tuesday. Instability levels should be quite high with sufficient heating and destabilization commencing across the area starting in the morning. The cold frontal timing is near optimal or just a touch early in allowing for max destabilization of the atmosphere. Wind shear profiles are marginal but will increase over the course of the day as the front moves through the region. This should set the stage for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with strong to damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall. SPC has the region in a marginal risk for severe weather. 

SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at Noon EDT to monitor severe weather potential. Another coordination message will be posted by 1000 AM Tuesday Morning. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-2 Convective Outlook:
