Yesterday I wrote about Monday’s chances for severe weather. I said it would be awful or nothing–no middle ground. It was nothing.
There is potential for severe weather again today! The setup is somewhat different. The atmosphere isn’t quite as explosive, but there will be a spark. That was missing on Memorial Day.
The most likely time for storms would be late afternoon until midnight… and maybe a little later.
The Storm Prediction Center says there’s hardly any risk for tornadoes, but a few towns getting gusty wind and large hail is to be expected. SPC is also saying:
A WARM/MOIST/DESTABILIZING AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO BE EVOLVING BY MIDDAY AHEAD OF THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST/MIDWEST REGION. AS THE FRONT — AND ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH — PROGRESS EWD WITH TIME…SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE WITHIN MULTIPLE BANDS…CROSSING OH AND SHIFTING INTO PA/NY/WRN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EVENTUALLY…BANDS OF STORMS SHOULD CROSS THE APPALACHIANS AND MOVE INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND AND THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION.
Tuesday’s trigger is a cold front. It will be much drier once that passes.
The two words I needed to hear after a restless night – COLD FRONT. Thank you! Thank you! (We haven’t put the window AC in yet!)
