OceanStWx Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I told our friends at BOX that it's important we know where we're going to get the informaion first - NWS Chat, SVS, or Twitter. I can't be looking at all 3... things can slip through the cracks if there are 3 separate places I can get information of storm threat/severity. Yeah, our hierarchy is almost always going to be SVS first, but depending on the office I bet NWSChat or Twitter could be a toss up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I don't know what the current situation is, but for the top level threats, using the Wireless Emergency Alert system for cellular makes sense to me. It's a near instant way to alert a geo-targeted group of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There is some backing to the low-level wind profiles across western/central Massachusetts. Although shear and instability are favorable, helicities aren't particularly impressive. Could see some good bangers with any cells that remain at least semi discrete from the NY/MA border area toward the Connecticut River. Limited forcing and veering winds further south don't favor much action, let alone anything severe, across northwestern Connecticut. Maybe things light up later on. Storm mergers between ALB-PSF may tend to favor a localized damaging wind threat, if storms can consolidate into a decent line segment. Downstream observations favor storm maintenance.
