Much better chance with today then last week. While the conditions looked great last week, not one model had any precip making it in our area. We were going with pure data and not modeling last week, and over the years, I've learned to never go against modeling that is in agreement.

HRRR on its own does not inspire conficence. Everything else really shows this stuff to the north of the city.

GFS and NAM both bring some precip to our area. While only a little, it still shows that rain is possible. Last week, not one model had any precip at all for us.

while the best shear profiles should remain to our north today, there should be sufficent shear in our area. SPC put out a MCS discussion earlier which highlighted what will be the trigger down this way. SBCAPE values are already in excess of 4000 J/KG over western areas so there will be no lack of instability.

12z data is old. Its from 4 hours ago. HRRR might be picking up on improving atmospheric conditions. We shall see.

The atmoshere is fine, its the trigger. Not sure what its seeing to produce that kind of line with all the best stuff so north of here and really very few left over boundaries to work with. Again, his is nyc metro s and w. Into CT and beyond, different story.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1150

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0936 AM CDT THU JUN 09 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...MUCH OF UPSTATE/WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEW

YORK...WESTERN THRU NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 091436Z - 091600Z

TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR AN INCREASING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM

THREAT. ONE OR MORE WATCHES WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED BY THE 16-18Z

TIME FRAME.

INHIBITION FOR THE POTENTIALLY MODERATE TO STRONGLY UNSTABLE

BOUNDARY LAYER PRESENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION IS GRADUALLY

WEAKENING WITH DAYTIME HEATING. THIS IS OCCURRING AS WEAK MID-LEVEL

HEIGHT FALLS...ASSOCIATED WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE IMPULSES ON

THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE STRONGER WESTERLIES...BEGINS TO SPREAD TO

THE EAST OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION. UPPER SUPPORT...COUPLED

WITH PRE-FRONTAL LOW-LEVEL FORCING ALONG INLAND ADVANCING LAKE

BREEZES AND FAVORABLE OROGRAPHY...ARE EXPECTED TO SUPPORT THE

INITIATION OF STORMS WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO... INCREASING

THROUGH THE 17-19Z TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH WESTERLY DEEP LAYER FLOW

FIELDS AND SHEAR WILL REMAIN RATHER MODEST /25-35 KT/...AS LOW-LEVEL

LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO STEEPEN...THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES WILL BECOME

SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE RISK FOR LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY DAMAGING

WINDS. EVENTUALLY...CONSOLIDATING OUTFLOWS AND UPSCALE CONVECTIVE

GROWTH MAY ENSUE...LEADING TO BROADER SCALE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL

SPREADING TOWARD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC

COASTAL AREAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

To me that doesnt read as getting below the CT shoreline, but we will see.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1129 AM CDT THU JUN 09 2011

VALID 091630Z - 101200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS SOUTHERN

VERMONT...SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...MUCH OF

MASSACHUSETTS...CONNECTICUT...SOUTHEAST NEW YORK...AND

PENNSYLVANIA...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS NEW ENGLAND WSWWD INTO THE

CENTRAL PLAINS...

..THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ERN WY AND VICINITY

..SYNOPSIS

SUPPRESSION OF THE S CENTRAL AND SERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE IS FORECAST

TO CONTINUE TODAY...AS THE WRN U.S. TROUGH SHIFTS EWD AND AT THE

SAME TIME AN ERN CANADA TROUGH MOVES EWD -- FORCING FALLING

HEIGHTS/CYCLONIC FLOW TO SPREAD ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CONUS.

AT THE SURFACE...COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE CROSSING THE ST. LAWRENCE

VALLEY/LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION THIS MORNING...AND WILL BECOME A

FOCUS FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT AS IT SHIFTS INTO NEW

ENGLAND/NY/PA. THE OUTFLOW-REINFORCED FRONT WILL LINGER WWD ACROSS

THE OH VALLEY...AND WILL RETREAT NWD WITH TIME ACROSS THE MO VALLEY

REGION WITH FRONTAL LOW DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED IN THIS AREA IN

RESPONSE TO EJECTING PIECES OF THE WRN U.S. TROUGH.

..NEW ENGLAND WSWWD ACROSS THE MIDWEST/OH VALLEY

POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD/DAMAGING WIND EVENT IS FORECAST ACROSS THE

NORTHEAST U.S. TODAY. ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS THIS RISK AREA HAS

DIMINISHED EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH CONVECTIVE-COOLED AIR OVER SRN

NEW ENGLAND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE RECOVERING. AS A LARGE PLUME OF

VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES ATOP A VERY MOIST /NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS/

BOUNDARY LAYER COMBINES WITH CLEARING SKIES SUPPORTING STRONG WARM

SECTOR HEATING...MIXED-LAYER CAPE OF 2000 TO 3000 J/KG IS EXPECTED

TO DEVELOP QUICKLY THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY

INVOF THE MID AND UPPER OH VALLEY -- AND THE COLD FRONT NOW CROSSING

THE LOWER GREAT LAKES/ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY -- WILL BECOME THE FOCUS

FOR WIDESPREAD STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF

HOURS...SHIFTING SEWD WITH TIME ACROSS NY/PA/OH AND MUCH OF NEW

ENGLAND.

WITH STRONGEST DEEP-LAYER WLYS PROGGED TO REMAIN N OF THE

MASON/DIXON LINE...MOST WIDESPREAD SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO EXIST

FROM SWRN PA ENEWD ACROSS SRN AND ERN NY INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND.

HERE...VERY LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH INITIAL SUPERCELL STORMS SHOULD

EVOLVE INTO MORE OF A DAMAGING WIND THREAT AS CONVECTION EVOLVES

INTO ONE OR MORE BOWING LINES WHICH WILL MOVE QUICKLY EWD. A COUPLE

OF TORNADOES MAY ALSO OCCUR -- PARTICULARLY EARLY ON WITH MORE

ISOLATED STORMS.

BY THIS EVENING...CONVECTION WILL HAVE SHIFTED WELL SEWD...FROM SRN

AND ERN NEW ENGLAND WSWWD INTO NRN VA/WV. WITH WEAKER FLOW S OF THE

MASON/DIXON LINE...MORE ISOLATED SEVERE POTENTIAL IS FORECAST.

I'm worried now... I hope we don't run into the overhype, underperform situation again.

Yea its not like alot of the models are bringing severe weather to the nyc metro area besides the hrrr, this might just be the case of the nws being safe with what's on the table today as far as potential severe weather with the best chance further to our north, I think so anyway
