  1. URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 568 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 130 PM EDT Sat Jul 29 2023 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northern Connecticut Massachusetts Extreme southern Maine Southern New Hampshire South central New York Northeast Pennsylvania Rhode Island Southern Vermont Coastal Waters * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 130 PM until 900 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon from New York and northeast Pennsylvania eastward into parts of southern New England. The storm environment will favor a mix of multicell clusters and some supercells capable of producing damaging winds and isolated large hail through late evening. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles north of Wilkesbarre PA to 30 miles east of Boston MA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).
  2. Mesoscale Discussion 1770 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1033 AM CDT Sat Jul 29 2023 Areas affected...southern New England into parts of eastern New York and far northern New Jersey Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 291533Z - 291730Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...A steady increase in thunderstorm coverage is expected through the afternoon, with locally strong wind gusts becoming more likely as the airmass destabilizes. WW issuance will likely be needed. DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite loop shows partly sunny conditions across southern New England and into parts of eastern New York and vicinity. Daytime heating through late morning has supported modest destabilization, which will continue into the afternoon given dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s. As an MCV now crossing eastern Lake Erie continues to shift eastward, expect storm coverage to increase as afternoon mixed-layer CAPE values rise into the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. While low-level flow is forecast to remain weaker as compared to areas farther south, mid-level westerlies near 30 kt will support potential for organized storms and some upscale growth into small-scale bands. Locally strong/damaging wind gusts are expected with the strongest storms, through the afternoon hours, and this potential appears sufficient that WW issuance will likely be required in the next hour. ..Goss/Thompson.. 07/29/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product
  3. looks like crap here, but hopefully central-southern areas of SNE can cash in
  4. If you want an EF-4 or softball size hail, you really want that hot, dry mid-level capping kinda airmass transplanted from the Plains/midwest. No secret lol
  5. Yeah that's literally the worst place in SNE or perhaps NE for thunderstorms, besides Taunton or something
  6. Yeah that's almost impossible. NE MA is a death pit for severe. It always dies here, today great example. unless it's along a seabreeze front and something really lucky with large hail/microburst stuff, this is the graveyard.
  7. We had a downpour and around 8-9 good strikes, but nothing closer than a mile away. Onto Saturday!
  8. Yeah, actually looks like a few decent storms lining up for you. 'grats!
  9. Looks like nothing around here, the usual break in the line between ORH and ASH should win
