MONTGOMERY...NEOSHO...WILSON AND WOODSON.

* THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

* THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THIS MORNING AND TRACK
SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS TODAY. HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW STORM MOVEMENT...AND JUICY
AIRMASS YIELDING HIGH RAINFALL RATES. GROUND SOILS ACROSS THE
REGION ARE STILL RATHER MOIST FROM THE HEAVY RAINFALL A COUPLE
OF DAYS AGO. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES WILL
BE POSSIBLE OVER THE WATCH AREA THIS MORNING...WITH RAPID RUNOFF
LIKELY CAUSING SOME FLOODING PROBLEMS DUE TO THE NEAR SATURATED
GROUND SOILS.


Mid Atlantic Forecast Map for Tuesday:



Tuesday's Severe Weather.....Target Mid Atlantic!
An in-depth analysis by Promet Chris Sowers:
Typically the Mid Atlantic has seen its fair share of severe weather by the middle of June. But this year has been unusual. Unusual in the fact that were on pace to set a record for the most tornadoes ever across the United States and that the Mid Atlantic has been relatively quiet. With the exception of a severe weather day here and there the Mid Atlantic for the most part has gotten away pretty much "scott-free". The violent weather that has caused a record number of fatalities so far has stayed west across the Mississippi River Valley and the Central Plains.

Today, promises to be a little bit different. A SLIGHT RISK for severe weather has already been issued by the Storm Prediction Center for the I-95 corridor from Boston to just north of Richmond including New Haven, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. continue

FOR BROAD CORRIDORS OF WIND DAMAGE AND SEVERE HAIL WARRANT A

[KWT]

Interesting so the main severe risk is actually in the NE today, also got a slight warning in the plains as well. Worth watching I suppose!

[Ed Mahmoud]

45% and hatched on wind. Derecho in Northeast?

[CrazyC83]

Watch out; 75 mph is a rarely-used number, which is interesting...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 550
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1130 AM EDT MON JUN 16 2008

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

PARTS OF NORTHWESTERN CONNECTICUT
PARTS OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS
MUCH OF NEW YORK
LARGE PART OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
LARGE PART OF VERMONT

EFFECTIVE THIS MONDAY MORNING AND EVENING FROM 1130 AM UNTIL 700
PM EDT.

HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 75
MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS.

THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 100
STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 30 MILES NORTH
NORTHWEST OF PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA TO RUTLAND VERMONT. FOR A
COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE
UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 549...

DISCUSSION...AIR MASS HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY
CAPPED AS STRONG HEATING OCCURS AHEAD OF COOL UPPER TROUGH
TRAVERSING THE WATCH AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
INCREASE IN NUMBER AND INTENSITY BY EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE WATCH
WITH CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR BOTH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 65
KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500. MEAN STORM
MOTION VECTOR 27030.

1111 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2008

VALID 161630Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE UPR OH VALLEY INTO THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES AND SOUTHWEST NEW ENGLAND...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS SURROUNDING THE MDT RISK AREA
FROM THE LOWER OH VALLEY INTO MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM OK/NRN TX AND THE
ARKLATEX N/W INTO THE CNTRL/NRN HI PLAINS...

...NERN STATES...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY ACROSS MUCH OF ERN CONUS SWD
THRU THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY MID AFTERNOON AS STRONG CYCLONIC
FLOW SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA. WITH THE COOL AND RELATIVELY STEEP
LAPSE RATES...HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE COMMON WITH STRONGER
STORMS. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE AN INCREASING CONCERN DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS STORMS EVOLVE INTO LINE SEGMENTS AND BOWS IN THE STRONG
UNIDIRECTIONAL STEERING FLOW. LARGE HAIL ALSO IS
LIKELY...PARTICULARLY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY ROTATING STORMS GIVEN THE
COOL AIR ALOFT. WHILE NON-ZERO...THE TORNADO THREAT WILL BE LIMITED
GIVEN THE UNFAVORABLE LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND LIMITED
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY.

...HIGH PLAINS...
WITH REGARD TO THE UPSLOPE ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM NERN NM TO
SERN MT...CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR ROTATING STORMS GIVEN THE
VEERING SHEAR PROFILES AND POTENTIAL INSTABILITY. A LIMITING ISSUE
WILL BE THE EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDINESS NOW ERN CO AND SERN WY. SEVERE
POTENTIAL WOULD SEEM TO BE REALIZED SOONER ACROSS SERN MT/NERN WY
WHERE STRONGER HEATING COUPLED WITH THE FAVORABLE SHEAR WILL EXIST.
FURTHER S THERE IS STILL POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING
SUPERCELLS WOULD LIKELY BE NOT UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON AND THE NEAR
FRONT RANGE WHERE CINH WOULD BE WEAKEST.

Snip from NWS Albany updated AFD

AN INFORMATIONAL NOTE...DUE TO THE IMPENDING SEVERE WEATHER LATER
TODAY...WE WILL BE DOING AN 1800 UTC BALLOON LAUNCH. CLOUDS HAVE
BROKEN UP ACROSS THE REGION AS OF NOON...AND WE ARE EXPECTING
AFTERNOON HEATING TO LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DESTABILIZATION WITH MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES /700-500 HPA LAYER/ INCREASING TO AROUND 7C/KM.

UTILIZING NAM BUFKIT PROFILES FOR ALBANY...THE CONDITIONAL MAGLENTA
INDEX DEVELOPED LOCALLY IN THE 90/S YIELDS A MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER
OUTBREAK IS IN THE CARDS FOR THE ALY FCST AREA.

PARAMETERS USED IN THE INDEX:
SURFACE BASE CAPE = 1300 J/KG
EHI = 0.9
0-3KM = 168 M^2/S^2
STORM SPEED = 27 KTS
MAX SOUNDING WIND = 60 KTS

ALSO MAX HAIL SIZE LOCAL EQUATION INDICATES HAIL STONES IN THE
1-1.25" RANGE MAY OCCUR /QUARTER TO HALF DOLLAR/.

I'd note what Albany considers a major severe outbreak isn't exactly the same as what, say, Topeka, considers a major severe outbreak. Quarter sized hail and near 70 mph winds is no walk in the park, however.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Just using the freely available NWS radar from Binghampton and Montague, NY, the reflectivity has the right 'look' to be tornadic, but I'm not seeing anything exceptional on the radial velocity.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Tornado warning not extended, 1" hail reported North side Syracuse.

[Ed Mahmoud]

Sullivan County tornado warning. Again, apparent weak rotation on BHM WSR-88D, but the reflectivity looks 'right'.

Buffalo AFD said the largest hail in a long time around there, looking at the LSR, the biggest I saw is 1.75", suggesting Western New York doesn't see much big hail.

All of the severe weather was to my south or north. The severe weather watch has expired but the winds calmed down a while ago. Some of those storms, especially to the north looked wicked.

I'm looking forward to the "open window" weather for the rest of the week.

[Category 5]

Two words.

Epic bust.

[angelwing]

yep, yep only good thing is it's cooler

[Squarethecircle]

Maybe for you. We got slammed hard down here a couple times.

But the fact that the final SLGT ended up being smaller than the initial MOD shows that something went amiss.

[Category 5]

I might have angered someone because theres a mean cell in Lancaster County PA and if it holds it's on a collision course for me.

That would wake me up.
