Today's Weather Chatter will focus on the Severe Weather Event that is currently unfolding in the Central Great Lakes region. This target area will shift throughout the day to include a very large portion of the Ohio Valley up to the Northeast.

As we briefly spoke yesterday, there is the potential for a large area to experience destructive wind gusts in excess of 70 mph, enough to bring down trees, damage structures and cause power outages that could last for days. Major metropolitan areas, including Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, Albany and Hartford, are among those included in the enhanced risk zone for damaging winds through tonight. But it does not stop there. An even larger area will still be at risk for severe weather, stretching from the mid-Mississippi Valley near St. Louis and Paducah all the way east into the mid-Atlantic and north to New England. This is a very LARGE and POPULATED area that is going to be impacted.

In addition to the threat of powerful wind gusts, the setup appears ripe for a few storms to spawn tornadoes. This will especially be the case near the leading edge of a push of warm, humid air from northern Pennsylvania and southern New York into southern New England at night.

Last night the SPC upgraded a portion of the Slight Risk area to Moderate. This is due to, in part that an area of strong instability developed with MlCape readings rising in the 3000 J/KG range in the Warm Sector. Storms were developing near the Frontal Triple Point during the night. Here is a quick refresher for the definition of Triple Point.
There are three basic frontal types you will see drawn on surface maps and they are the warm front, cold front and occluded front. An occluded front is when a cold front overtakes a warm front. The warm front is generally found to the right of the low pressure center. It is where the warm sector is wrapping around the low pressure system. The cold front is typically on the left side wrapping colder air around the low pressure system. Since the cold front typically moves faster than the warm front, where the cold front lifts the warm front will result in an occluded front. The triple point is where the occluded front, cold front and warm front all intersect. This intersection point will have a great amount of lifting. If enough moisture is wrapping in from the warm sector than big rains and storms can fire along the triple point and along the fronts and wrap into the low pressure. There is a great amount of wind shear also near the triple point and fronts.

Severe weather will often fire up ahead of the cold front, along the warm front and near the triple point where shear is enhanced. Here is an example of a Triple Point.

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM A PORTION OF
IND...OH...PA...SRN NY INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND
...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM A PORTION OF THE SRN
PLAINS...GREAT LAKES...OH VALLEY...NERN STATES AND MID ATLANTIC...

...SYNOPSIS...

SYNOPTIC UPPER TROUGH WILL UNDERGO GRADUAL AMPLIFICATION THURSDAY
OVER THE GREAT LAKES...OH VALLEY AND NERN STATES. EMBEDDED WITHIN
THE LARGE SCALE TROUGH IS A VORT MAX OVER SRN MANITOBA THAT WILL
DROP SWD THROUGH MN AND WI. ANOTHER IMPULSE OVER THE MID-UPPER MS
VALLEY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE OH VALLEY AND SRN PORTIONS OF THE
GREAT LAKES...REACHING THE NERN STATES THURSDAY NIGHT. FARTHER WEST
THE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE NRN ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION WHILE AN
UPPER TROUGH LINGERS OFF THE PACIFIC NW COAST.

AT THE SFC A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM A SFC LOW IN LOWER MI
SWWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY AND CNTRL PLAINS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL
ADVANCE SEWD WHILE WARM FRONT LIFTS NWD INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND.

...OH VALLEY THROUGH NERN STATES...

CORRIDOR OF MODERATE TO STRONG WSWLY DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL PERSIST
WITHIN BASE OF AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH WITH 40-50 KT BETWEEN 850 AND
700 MB FROM THE OH VALLEY INTO THE NERN STATES. THE SWLY LLJ WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO NEWD DESTABILIZATION AS RICHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
/UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS/ ADVECTS NEWD IN WAKE OF ADVANCING WARM FRONT.
A FEW STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT OVER A
PORTION OF NY INTO NEW ENGLAND. OTHER MORE ORGANIZED STORMS WITH A
THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND MAY BE IN PROGRESS OVER SWRN NY OR NRN PA.
THIS ACTIVITY MAY CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT OF DAMAGING WIND AS
DIABATIC WARMING COMMENCES AND LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN. OTHER
STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP WITHIN LOW LEVEL CONFLUENT FLOW REGIME
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AS THE CAP WEAKENS. STRONG INSTABILITY WITH
2000-3000 J/KG MLCAPE...STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND 30-50 KT
DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL PROMOTE A THREAT OF WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE AS
STORMS EVOLVE INTO LINES AND CLUSTERS. A FEW STORMS MAY ALSO DEVELOP
SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WITH POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND PERHAPS A
TORNADO OR TWO...ESPECIALLY OVER A PART OF THE NERN STATES WHERE
STRONGER EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL EXIST NEAR AND JUST S OF THE WARM
FRONT.


...OK THROUGH MID MS VALLEY REGION...

OTHER STORMS WILL REDEVELOP AND INTENSIFY ALONG SWRN EXTENSION OF
FRONT AND PRE-FRONTAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THE MID MS VALLEY INTO
NRN PARTS OF THE SRN PLAINS. MOST OF THIS REGION WILL REMAIN SOUTH
OF THE STRONGER FLOW ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH.
HOWEVER...THE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT WILL FAVOR A THREAT OF
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND AND DOWNBURSTS WITH MULTICELL CONVECTION AS
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN ALONG THERMAL AXIS.

...UPPER GREAT LAKES AREA...

RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN POST FRONTAL REGIME WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW
60S ALONG WITH DIABATIC WARMING WILL PROMOTE AN AXIS OF MODEST
/1000-1500 J/KG/ MLCAPE OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. DEEP FORCING FOR
ASCENT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL
PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER
DESTABILIZES. STORMS WILL EXIST WITHIN A UNIDIRECTIONAL WLY FLOW
REGIME WITH 30-35 KT EFFECTIVE SHEAR. A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL THROUGH EARLY
EVENING.

Now, lets look at the Craven's Significant Severe Parameter. This is created using a combination of the 100mb MLCAPE and 0-6km magnitude of the vector difference, or also known as the "deep layer shear" This model accounts for the compensation between instability and shear magnitude and gets the information from a database of about 60,000 soundings, the majority of significant severe events that includes 2+ inch hail, 65+ knot winds, and F2+ tornadoes occur which this product is excellent at detecting.

weather - Widespread Severe Weather Event Today, Millions Could Be Impacted. ATIqX5

As you can see throughout the day the parameter fro severe weather increases greatly. The big white bulls-eye is indicating a 80 to 100 percent chance of severe weather throughout the Major Metropolitan Areas of the Northeast.

This event will be ever changing throughout the day. I will check in on the short range modeling and post any changes. This will be a great event to watch unfold and a good opportunity to learn how the Derencho events are created and unfold.

One might wounder how things are going to unfold today. Here is the "Best Guess" at the moment.

The storm over the Great Lakes will continue it's Easterly track towards the major metro areas in the Northeast.
The frontal boundary will become almost stationary later tonight. When this happens, ripples or waves of Low Pressure will develop and move across this boundary line.

Now, as the warm front approaches the New York area this morning from the West it will have a few storms that will come with it. This will move off to the Northeast. Now go back and do you remember the storm across the Great Lakes we have been talking about? this feature, which is an upper trough, will begin to deepen this afternoon as it moves to the East. The area where the warm front had already moved through will begin to rapidly destabilize with the MLCAPE Values increasing to over 3000 J/KG and the Bulk Shear will increase to 40 or 50 Kts. As lines and clusters of Storms develop, they will turn Severe. If these storms merge and can hold together, a Derecho Line could form. Either way, the Severe Storms will develop. At the moment, I see nothing that stands out that would cause this to be a bust.

Quite a few people in southern Ontario got an extra-early wakeup call from Mother Nature this morning. But a few night owls were still awake, like the storm chaser who captured this incredible lightning shot.

A Differential Heating Boundary is what is setting up in the graphic below. Pennsylvania has a really good chance of seeing winds near or in excess of 80 to 90 Mph given the high cape values, low level lapse rates, and shear. If the storms get organized in the next several hours this will likely occur. Peeps in that area definitely need to watch this.

weather - Widespread Severe Weather Event Today, Millions Could Be Impacted. ZmNdu

A Differential Heating Boundary is a small scale "cold-frontal" type boundary that results from unequal surface heating. To understand how this comes about, consider this example. This morning with varying cloud coverage between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.. Pittsburgh remains under cloud cover all morning, and by noon has a temperature of 73 degrees, while Philadelphia has sunshine during the morning and a temperature at noon of 85 degrees. This temperature (and resulting pressure) difference can result in the development of a small scale line of convergence, similar to a front. This can be a triggering mechanism for thunderstorms during the warm season. This usually has the potential of creating some storms capable of creating significant downdrafts.

It's beginning.

Convection is building in the Ohio and Western Pennsylvania areas and should begin to pop in the next couple of hours. My guess is that the SPC will start to discuss this in a MD shortly.

The NAM did great with this event... The big pic is the NAM from this morning. The little pic is the live radar for the time of that NAM run. Amazingly good job.

Looks like another bow is developing just to the West of NYC. The one to the North of the city is still amazing.

Based on latest instability data, this squall line/derecho event should continue into the big cities from New York City to Boston through evening. Shown here is CAPE, or convective available potential energy. Note the uncapped (in white) and unstable air streaming northeast ahead of the convective line. Should arrive in the next 1-2 hours

Wow San the African Blob has still got some good spin to it. Something to watch for sure over the next several days.

As midnight nears on the East Coast, the forecast of severe storms across the East today panned out quite well. The majority of reports remained to be wind but a few hints of hail were also added in the mix. One tornado report was reported in New York. As the next few days progress certain wind reports may be surveyed and changed into tornado reports.

Although, radar indicates storms slowly weakening across the Mid-Atlantic, storms are still threatening over the Tennessee Valley. More reports certainly aren't out of the question by morning.

Here are a few more pics of today's event.

Storm moving in over Long Island Sound, Crab Meadow Beach in Northport.
