Update from the Storm Prediction Center: Tornado Potential Increasing Again.

For a second day in a row, MULTIPLE, Tornado Watches have been issued for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Plains States.  Here are the latest statements via the Storm Prediction Center...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 292
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   110 PM EDT Wed May 29 2019

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Extreme northern Delaware
     Extreme northeastern Maryland
     Western and southern New Jersey
     Much of central and eastern Pennsylvania
     Coastal Waters

   * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 110 PM
     until 800 PM EDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A couple tornadoes possible
     Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
       to 2 inches in diameter possible
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

   SUMMARY...Scattered supercell development is expected this afternoon
   across central/eastern Pennsylvania and the storms will move
   east-southeastward into New Jersey this afternoon/evening.  Large
   hail and damaging winds are likely with these storms, and a couple
   of tornadoes will also be possible with storm and boundary
   interactions.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 40 miles northwest of Altoona PA to
   10 miles east northeast of Trenton NJ. For a complete depiction of
   the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU2).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and 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.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 293
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1245 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Parts of western and northern Arkansas
     Southeastern Oklahoma
     Parts of north central and northeastern Texas

   * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 1245 PM
     until 800 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes likely
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

   SUMMARY...Ongoing storms from north Texas into northwestern Arkansas
   will continue to spread eastward through the afternoon.  Additional
   warm sector, discrete storm development appears likely from
   northeast Texas into western Arkansas through the afternoon.  The
   storm environment is supportive of supercells with very large hail,
   as well as storm clusters capable of damaging gusts.  Though
   low-level shear is not particularly strong, some of the discrete
   storms and/or storm interactions could pose a tornado threat, as
   well as circulations embedded in line segments resulting from
   upscale growth.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 20 miles north northeast of Flippin AR
   to 50 miles east southeast of Stephenville TX. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and 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.

 

I'll be monitoring the situation closely and will provide WxLIVE coverage thru the newly launched #WxLIVENOW YouTube channel if conditions warrant.

Otherwise Lisa and I plan on seeing you at regular time tonight on #WxLIVEat945.  See you then!
