July 27 Severe Weather Threat


Dsnowx53

Recommended Posts

Timing and cloud debris are our big issues for severe wx. This morning's threat with the warm front is disjointed. With one disturbance triggering some strong t-storms off SNJ coast. Another disturbance over Upstate NY with more t-storms. In between, we are probably not going to see much. After this all moves through, we might see more sun later afternoon. But we'll have to see if we have a decent trigger for t-storms late afternoon in the area. Right now, models don't show much. Better synoptic forcing doesn't arrive until late tonight.

If you want severe storms and a light show tonight  then this is the better chance . Clearer skies will work there way East and possibly destabilize us enough that if a round does develop tonight  it doesn't get robbed by what was originally forecasted this morning .

 

Upton .

ONCE THE FRONT LIFTS THROUGH THE AREA...THERE COULD BE SEVERAL
HOURS OF DRY WEATHER BEFORE THE NEXT SHORTWAVE IMPACTS THE AREA.
EXPECT PARTIAL CLEARING FOR A FEW HOURS WHICH WILL DETERMINE THE
AMOUNT OF DESTABILIZATION THAT OCCURS AS THE POTENT SHORTWAVE AND
STRENGTHENING SFC LOW APPROACHES FOR THE EVENING. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHRA/TSTMS IS EXPECTED WITH THIS FEATURE...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
A MORE SIGNIFICANT SVR WEATHER EVENT. 0-6KM SHEAR WILL AGAIN BE
MODERATE...APPROACHING STRONG LEVELS WITH 0-1KM SHEAR BETWEEN
15-20 KTS AND INCREASING HELICITY BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z. THERE IS
SOME SLIGHT TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GUIDANCE...BUT THIS
APPEARS TO BE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR ROTATING STORMS. SPC HAS
PLACED THE ENTIRE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK...WITH A 5 PERCENT CHANCE
FOR TORNADOES IN NYC AND WESTERN LONG ISLAND AND A 2 PERCENT CHC
ELSEWHERE. OTHERWISE...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL HAVE ABOUT
THE SAME CHANCE OF OCCURRING.
..OUTSIDE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS
WHERE THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM WIND

12z NAM continues to look impressive for tomorrow morning.

here is another example of the model being misleading indicating a severe potential that did not verify. We have seen this time and time again this summer. Don't rely on the models in a severe event !

This mornings severe threat is over for the metro - time to watch the satellite and radar. The sat is showing some clearing to our west - now we have to wait and see how unstable we get and this triggers a potential severe outbreak later

Think it'll be very late tonight if storms make it here

Sun starting to break out here, that should hopefully destabilize the atmoshere even further this afternoon.

with the cold front still out in the Ohio Valley - won't be till late this evening or overnight till any line of storms that eventually develops reach here - question that is with the loss of daytime heating how strong will any storms be when they get close to the coast ?

I think you answered your own question

The 17Z HRRR had a pretty good handle on the storms in eastern Ohio, if only a touch slow. Weakens them after about 02Z-03Z as they cross eastern PA, then shows them re-firing around 07Z-08Z as they approach NYC. Been there done that before. Long midnight shift ahead?!?

I have a great view off of my building's roof deck (elevation ~400ft) in uptown manahattan.  The conditions look beautiful for severe - all the cumulus are getting tilted strongly by westerly shear while we have a south wind and temps in the mid/upper 80s.  Fingers crossed for this one - it rarely looks this promising.
