Severe Weather in New York State Nearing Imminence











Greetings all...It is currently 1609 UTC, and much of New York State is under a "Slight" risk for severe thunderstorms by the SPC. Albany is literally smack in the middle of this threat zone, with 5% chance for damaging tornadoes and 15% chance for damaging wind/large hail. Several of us Metards will be attempting to "chase" later on assuming things heat up nicely. As detailed by Mark Ellinwood in yesterday's post, L-I-F-T is present and is increasing as we get insolation. Some nice graphics are appended, and more updates (possibly from the road) will follow.....

...cue Van Halen's "Humans Being", maestro!



1630 UTC UPDATE (from Ellinwood):

SPC has updated the wind threat to a 30% chance over NY:


A severe thunderstorm watch has also been issued for most of NY:
