After SPC's last bust... I am not sold.

That was no bust, New England saw one of its worst tornado outbreaks in history. How many times do we have to say "discrete cells that rotate, while destroying one community, produce not a sprinkle in the town down the road"...NYC was the "town down the road" that day

Bust for the NYC metro. No doubt that Upstate NY and probably CT will get rocked today.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1154

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1245 PM CDT THU JUN 09 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...MUCH OF THE NORTHEASTERN URBAN CORRIDOR...FROM

WASHINGTON D.C./BALTIMORE INTO THE BOSTON AREA

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY

VALID 091745Z - 091915Z

MUCH OF THE NORTHEASTERN URBAN CORRIDOR IS BEING MONITORED FOR A NEW

SEVERE WEATHER WATCH ISSUANCE...WHICH MAY BE NEEDED BY 19-20Z.

STRONG/SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT IS NOW WELL UNDERWAY ACROSS UPSTATE

NEW YORK...IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE-SCALE

TROUGHING SLOWLY ADVANCING EASTWARD ACROSS EASTERN CANADA...AND EAST

OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION. AIDED BY MODEST DEEP LAYER

WESTERLY FLOW /20-30 KT/...UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH APPEARS LIKELY

DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AS IT SPREADS EASTWARD INTO A MOIST AND

INCREASINGLY STRONGLY HEATED BOUNDARY LAYER NEAR PRE-FRONTAL

TROUGHING IN THE VICINITY OF THE URBAN CORRIDOR. A CONSOLIDATING

AND STRENGTHENING SURFACE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH AN EVOLVING

SQUALL LINE PROBABLY WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG...POTENTIALLY

DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS MAY IMPACT THE GREAT NEW

YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA AND WESTERN/CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS BY

21-22Z...THE BOSTON AREA SHORTLY THEREAFTER...AND PERHAPS

PHILADELPHIA/SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY INTO THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON

D.C. AREA TOWARD 23-00Z.

..KERR.. 06/09/2011

I think it was last week when the metro area was put under a tornado watch (I know Upton is in charge of that). Not enough shear then, not enough now/yet (for NYC).

So your statement was an anecdote. Since the probabilities weren't 0% or 100%, this wasn't a deterministic forecast. Therefore, saying the SPC busted is an entirely ignorant statement, so I suggest you take a look at that link about probabilistic forecasts and what they mean. There is also plenty of information on the SPC site, too. Don't forget that not too far away from NYC, there were supercells producing hail.

he has no clue what he is talking about first off since he thinks that individual offices are responsible for watches

Just an hour ago all was quiet now storms are exploding over NY state and extreme North Central PA. Its going to be a day of extreme severe weather that's for sure. No marine layer to weaken these storms this go around. Will be interesting to see what happens later for our area. incredible instability parameters are In place.

The best storms won't get here until the nose of the more favorable shear moves south. All guidance has this occurring around 22-00z when 30+ kts of effective and 0-6km bulk shear move southeast.

Barring any outflow boundaries or some convective mesoscale process there is almost no way we can get screwed out of this set up. Models have an incredible elevated instability axis through late tonight and the convection will develop southeast towards it.

Jinxed it.

Thank you for the informative criticism of my statement, HM. So, instead of the SPC busting, NYC was just in a screw zone that day, I guess.

YanksFan, I have a signature for a reason. No reason to be callous about what I say.

Hey no problem. Believe it or not, there are many mets, too, who don't understand this either. Good luck this evening with the severe weather.

Just being honest. Obviously individual locations may not get storms. That's the way convection works. But on a regional scale this is going to be a big event.

shear, height falls, and strong forcing are lacking. We need a squall line to develop a good cold pool to sustain the updrafts or this event will look a lot like last week.

The effective shear and height falls improve dramatically by this evening...which is why I'd think the storms have a good chance of staying organized on the periphery of the strongest shear this evening,.especially given the degree of thermodynamic support.
