The elevated convection out on Eastern Long Island last night was also impressive with 1.00 diameter hail. We saw this a few weeks ago in New England with the golf ball sized hail north of the warm front.

Impressive storms out east last night. There was a lot of elevated instability the further east one went.

NJ counties adjacent to the Delaware River should have the highest severe wx threat today, including tornadoes/hail. HRRR boundary location looks pretty good later, continued heating under partial sun will help slow the backdoor's progression this afternoon. Winds on the cool side of it will trend to the SE, helping enhance low-level helicity given strong and deep westerly flow aloft.

Curious to see how SPC/OKX handle watches later.

1.00 inch diameter hail may be the record for elevated convection on Long Island. The hail near 3.00 inches diameter back in August 2011 over Western Nassau was the overall record.

Mesoscale Discussion 0881
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1106 AM CDT Wed May 29 2019

   Areas affected...Portions of eastern OH...the northern WV
   Panhandle...much of PA...and NJ

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 291606Z - 291730Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop
   this afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds should be the main
   threats, but isolated tornadoes will also be possible. Watch
   issuance is likely by 17Z (1 PM EDT).

   DISCUSSION...A shortwave trough over central OH and Lake Erie at 16Z
   will move eastward today across PA and vicinity. Isolated
   thunderstorms have recently initiated across central OH and
   northwestern PA in association with this feature. A belt of strong
   50-65 kt mid-level westerly winds will be present across eastern OH,
   much of PA, and NJ today. Long, nearly straight hodographs through
   mid levels and related 40-50 kt of effective bulk shear should favor
   scattered splitting supercells early this afternoon. Large hail will
   probably be the initial concern with this convection, with some
   increase in the damaging wind threat with time as storms potentially
   congeal into one or more bowing line segments as they move
   east-southeastward across PA into NJ. A marine front located over
   the NYC metro area and adjacent northern NJ will likely limit the
   northeastern extent of the substantial severe threat this afternoon.
   In addition to the large hail and damaging wind risk, isolated
   tornadoes could also occur over mainly parts of central/eastern PA
   into portions of NJ to the east of a weak surface low where
   low-level southwesterly winds are forecast to be somewhat stronger.
   Watch issuance will likely be needed across this region by 17Z (1 PM
   EDT).

Why are you guys treating the HRRR as if it's gospel? I know that it's usually the model of choice when it comes to convection but it's not always correct and it often changes dramatically over the course of 2-3 runs.

It tends to be good with timing but otherwise beyond hour 6-8 it’s hard to trust.  Yesterday morning it was gung ho on the 22-00Z period til it began catching on around 16-17Z that 00-03 would likely be the main time.  I’m not too enthralled today north of TTN.  Despite those reflectivities looking good on the HRRR/NAM/RGEM I think this may end up being very MCS like.  Entirely elevated with maybe a SVR TSTM warning or two occasionally.  It may also end up being much slower moving and progressing, maybe not arriving til 23-00 and lasting til 03-04.  The 3KM NAM seed yo try and hint at that that though it didn’t really take the idea and run with it totally.   Normally storms that approach from more of NW or N direction here hold together better because the sea breeze impacts them later vs when they have to cross the entire length of NJ but today the air will be stable even in N NJ and SE NY

Biggest burn by the HRRR (And all models really) was last monday the 20th. We were chasing in the plains and SPC issued a high risk. Every single piece of data and all the models pointed to a large tornado outbreak right up until 12 or 1 pm. The cloud cover never really cleared out and the models underestimated the lapse rates. We got a tornado that day but it was far from an outbreak.
