This.

It's probably normal given it's not a predominant wx type but sometimes you gotta wonder...

Get them tors. I'm hoping for a tail end Charlie, or something. ;)

I've been getting PMs this morning about chasing and I wanted to share a few tornado thoughts. I think supercells (cluster? isolated?) get going in southern NY / N PA and move across NW NJ / SE NY 3-8 pm but they may have trouble with tornadogenesis. The LLJ will be in the process of strengthening but may not be strong enough to compensate for the lack of backing winds, so you end up with meager 0-1km SRH. On the other hand, the LCL will be low here with strong CAPE and a very strong mid-level jet. Perhaps we'll see a lot of close call TORs with a few lucky ones doing it here. Still better than most average severe days in the area.

Further south is another possibility across C PA. I would watch localized backing in valley areas when storms try to get going.

Looking at just the 12z nam 3 hr precip panels...and knowing what type of severe parameters will likely be in place...I suspect something viscious is plowing through east PA to NYC/CT from roughly 7-11pm.

Yeah I agree with this. The later round looks mean. Latest SREF guidance is eye opening with some of the parameters in this period.

Yea backed way off from previous runs, who knows

But SREFs remain relatively impressive with 2000 j/kg of MLCAPE into western CT buy 21z. So that really hasn't changed much. Watch the dew points... they really need to be 70+ by 21z.

Thats what the HRRR sort of has. I like Nrn NJ area for general severe.

Agreed... I think the general outlook for NE PA/NW NJ/SE NY remains the most vulnerable for sig severe. But either way I expect a violent line in at least western/central CT after 00z. Whether we have fun before that is uncertain IMO.

Yup. Mesoscale models really picking that up now.

my post was about tors in Ct and the Nam, certainly has a severe look.

It really is.

Between the nature of the storms, timing and location, I wouldn't plan a chase trip around it. The initial stuff this afternoon is really the only chaseable stuff during the daytime and I think it will struggle to produce a tornado. Keep expectations low if chasing today.

This evening will be out of control if the SREF is right.

I was thinking SPC was being pretty ballsy having the mod risk all the way into New England like that , given the uncertainties of everything, and the look of sat/radar this morning...but at the same time, i could also see how the ramping of the upper level winds u are talking about could sustain an organized line/widespread damaging wind threat into some of the lower instability areas further northeast...

Yeah the nrn edge of any line could smack into wrn areas. One thing is for sure, dynamics say I don't give a shiat that it's nighttime lol.

I think the areas they have outlined in the mod risk are good. Places like ORH/PVD points east won't see much but once you get into SW MA/NW CT you have a nice juxtaposition of shear and instability.

Does the evening stuff hit us further in the east or still primarily for you western folk?
