hudsonvalley21 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 1512 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0210 PM CDT Tue Oct 02 2018 Areas affected...Northern New Jersey...Southeast New York...Southern New England Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 021910Z - 022115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...A wind damage threat and marginal tornado threat will be possible this afternoon from northern New Jersey northeastward into southern New England. Weather watch issuance can not be ruled out across the region. DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a warm front located from southeast New York extending eastward across Connecticut. Convection is developing near the boundary in southeast New York along the leading edge of a band of large-scale ascent evident on water vapor imagery. Ahead of the convection, surface dewpoints in the New York Vicinity and in far southern New England are generally in the mid to upper 60s F which is contributing to the development of weak instability. In addition, regional WSR-88D VWPs at Boston and New York City have moderate to strong deep-layer shear with 0-3 km storm relative helicity around 250 m2/s2. This may be enough for a marginal tornado threat with cells that interact with the warm front. Wind damage will also be possible but the threat should remain isolated due to the weak instability. ..Broyles/Guyer.. 10/02/2018 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

purduewx80 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 looks to be a rather wet evening for the metro. guidance hinting at overrunning cells after a bow of sorts transitions through, so i think we'll see some flash flooding in areas, mostly during the overnight.

Drz1111 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Another crappy job by SPC with respect to a northeastern tor outbreak. I mean, its not the plains or Dixie Alley, but they can't just use parameters developed 1500 miles away and apply them up here and call it a day. They do amazing work in the core severe regions but it really falls off up here - I almost wonder if local offices couldn't do a better job.

I count 6 ongoing supercells with tight LL rotation, and the watch was issued after the first tornado was already on the ground. C+ job by SPC. Someone could do a nice masters thesis developing a parameter driven index like SigTor that's tuned for the Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The cell about to cross the Hudson around Peekskill looks a bit threatening. Pretty much any updraft near the front that can maintain itself is eventually spinning up a low level meso. Lots and lots of storm relative helicity to work with, and just enough bulk shear to permit sustained updrafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Finally, and sorry for the post-burst, but I am slammed at work and hadn't been following this at all. I didn't even look at the radar / forecast until I looked out a conference room window at about 245PM and saw obvious, visible, low-level shear and increasingly deep convective clouds. I thought "huh, this looks tornado-ish" and pulled up radarscope. Eyeballs on the ground had a better lead time than SPC. Forecast fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drz1111 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Peekskill storm now TOR warned. Seems a bit early for that, but given how the storms have evolved upstream, I can see why they want to get ahead of it. FWIW, the earlier Millbrook spinner had a brief CC drop/TDS associated with it; wouldn't surprise me if there was an weak tornado sucking some leaves.

Drz1111 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 BGM and State College are not ahead of the outbreak. There are multiple SVR warned storms with tight couplets, and LCLs are super low. PA is a ****show right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few moderate days we get usually disappoint and the worst outbreaks I can remember have come on slight risk days. I think the reason for that is simply because there are way way more slight risk days than moderate risk days. Although moderate risk days have a much higher probability of severe weather than slight risk days comparatively speaking, the probability on those moderate risk days is still not terribly high in absolute terms.

Although moderate risk days have a much higher probability of severe weather than slight risk days comparatively speaking, the probability on those moderate risk days is still not terribly high in absolute terms. I disagree. While F3 or stronger tornado in the NE tend to happen on plains-style days with an EML and good lapse rates, weaker tornados are more frequent (duh), correlate with late season warm front events, and are often missed by SPC. This is what they're screwing up. Today is particularly bad because we have both a warm front and decent lapse rates. It's like they forget that in August-October, you often lose the marine layer and warm fronts need to be watched like a hawk for surface-rooted convection.
