You should have said 70% of the area has a 70% chance of seeing activity within 25 miles of their house, but I commend you for sticking your neck out.

haha. easy bud. today is a new day!

BTW, HUGE bust last night in upton's forecast, anyone notice they called for "Heavy Rain" yesterday afternoon, like 60% chance, and storms last night...not a drop of rain fell for most of the area...storms never made it from CT and died out in E PA. Hoping that this whole week isnt wet as it looks it may be.

Too early to joke around maybe.

Anyway - I like the fact that we have the height fall center nearly overhead -- the lifting mechanism is close to the coast today unlike Friday when it was still miles NW of the region. If we can get any sunshine, that will add fuel to the fire. Won't take much to build convection as the LCL heights are quite low as forky mentioned.

Convective inhibition generally > -50 which is substantially better than some of the values we saw on Friday. Another indicator that T-storms shouldn't have a problem firing this afternoon. Severity will be isolated but the primary threat is hvy rain.

Cell in southern jersey may be the start of development of a new cluster that grows and heads north...getting active early today.

My usually reliable RAP had a pretty bad fail last night...as no rains fell, but today it is not really enthused until about 7-10 pm where central CT gets rocked, nothing crazy for the rest of the area though. Does show that area of rain on the island moving out by early afternoon.

Today may be a better day for NYC for severe since we usually do well from quick SW-NE storms with marginal CAPE, lots of convergence and decent shear.
