Severe potential this afternoon...

Posted June 9th, 2009 by Bill Kardas. 70 comments

A cold front will swing through as we head into the afternoon and evening, serving as the mechanism for showers and thunderstorms.  As of 11am, a warm front that crossed the area earlier this morning is driving dewpoints and temperature higher across the area.  Dewpoints later on this afternoon are expected to make a run into the 60s...which is something we haven't seen much this season.  The most recent development has been sunshine breaking out across Western New York.  A large area of clearing is advancing into the region, and will allow the sun to break out early this afternoon.  Temperatures in this area of clearing are spiking into the upper 60s and low 70s at this hour, driving up instability in the atmosphere across Western New York.  Current caculated CAPE (a measure of instability) exceeds 2500 j/kg in spots out in Western New York.  This is very impressive to see in the Northeast.  This alone is cause for concern for what may happen later on today.  Thunderstorms, frequent lightning, small hail, and gusty winds are possible.  More details coming.....

11:30 AM Update.

Continued sunshine this morning for points west.  Still waiting for our area to clear out.  Wind shear continues to increase ahead of the front, as our area of low pressure advances east.  Strong wind shear is notorious for maintaining supercell thunderstorms, and is a contributor to tornadic activity.  While our going forecast doesn't mention tornadoes, it is possible for isolated tornadoes to develop in Western New York.

    Syracuse’s temperature went up 10 degrees in 2 hours worth of sunshine!

  2. randy Vitullo :

    Bill, what time are we thinking for the onset of thunder and rain? I am in a golf league at 430 in Utica. Do you think it will hold off (the front) until 630 or 7?

    Posted June 9th at 11:47 AM

  3. Bill Kardas:

    The front is expected to cross between 5-7pm, but thunderstorms may be able to fire off sooner than that. The threat would be between 3-8pm today.

    Posted June 9th at 12:10 PM

  4. Bill Kardas:

    Syracuse now up to 81 degrees! Rome jumped to 72, a gain of 7 degrees in the last hour! The warm front is situated right over the area. SPC now talking about the possibility of issuing a severe thunderstorm watch.

    Posted June 9th at 12:25 PM

  5. Rob (Whitesboro):

    I got 73 degrees here with a dew of 66. Had full sunshine for an hour but starting to cloud up a little. Things are definitely looking better for storms. Starting to see a few pop to our west right now.

    Posted June 9th at 12:34 PM

  6. Bill Kardas:

    Early cells are popping out near Oneida Lake, east of Utica, and in Southern Oneida County.

    Posted June 9th at 12:57 PM

  7. Bill Kardas:

    The cloud tops are growing tremendously…I have a really nice view of that cell that’s passing east of Utica from Smith Hill. Wish I brought my camera.

    Posted June 9th at 1:00 PM

  8. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Looks like the warm nose has made it as far as Vernon. It’s 83 degrees there currently. That cell in Madison county is looking healthy.

    Posted June 9th at 1:03 PM

  9. Bill Kardas:

    Rob,

    Wow, that’s impressive! We’re at 76 so far…cell crossing Oneida is now flagging small hail. All the ingredients are in place…time to sit back and watch.

    Posted June 9th at 1:28 PM

  10. Bill Kardas:

    Severe thunderstorm watch up for Herkimer, Fulton, Montgomery, Otsego, & Chenango County until 8 PM this evening. What an odd way to draw a watch box. Not sure why Oneida and Madison aren’t included.

    Posted June 9th at 1:33 PM

  11. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Yeah that’s one crazy looking watch box. Best parameters look to be west of there. Up to 77 here. I don’t hear any thunder yet. Maybe it’s just a heavy shower.

    Posted June 9th at 1:40 PM

  12. Michael- (Dolgeville):

    64.6 degrees here. The sun acts like it wants to poke through, but hasn’t had much luck yet.

    Posted June 9th at 1:42 PM

  13. Heather (Mohawk) :

    we have had sun for a bit its windy thought heard one loud thunder rumble and few huge huge rain drops now the sun is shining again but wind still

    Posted June 9th at 1:44 PM

  14. Tina:

    Heavy rain in Clinton right now with thunder, moving through quickly.

    Posted June 9th at 1:45 PM

  15. Laura (working in Clinton):

    No real wind or hail with that cell. Just very heavy rain. It’s already moved through.

    Posted June 9th at 1:53 PM

  16. Rob (Whitesboro):

    It looks like it’s strengthening as it moves east. There’s a decent hail signature with it now. Pretty close to severe levels. Sunshower going on here.

    Posted June 9th at 1:56 PM

  17. Rob (Whitesboro):

    It’s severe now!

    Posted June 9th at 1:57 PM

  18. Adam Musyt:

    Our StormTracker 2 Doppler is flagging 2” hail with this storm. That’s probably overdone but severe hail is a possibility.

    Posted June 9th at 2:03 PM

  19. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Yeah this a good looking storm. At one point it had a 39k top. It’s trying to form a couplet on its SW end but having a hard time.

    Posted June 9th at 2:15 PM

  20. Laura (working in Clinton):

    Can very heavy rain confuse the radar into thinking it is hail? The rain came down in huge drops here. And, what it up with that watch box? I’ve never seen one that odd either.

    Posted June 9th at 2:17 PM

  21. Bill Kardas:

    Any reports of hail in southern Oneida County? Just curious, as our radar was showing large hail.

    Posted June 9th at 2:20 PM

  22. Gary:

    Had hail here at work in Clinton about pea size or a little bigger.

    Posted June 9th at 2:20 PM

  23. Rob (Whitesboro):

    I just saw a report of penny hail just SE of Clinton. I’m sure there’s some bigger than that somewhere with this.

    Posted June 9th at 2:22 PM

  24. Laura (working in Clinton):

    Did not get any hail here in the village. Rob: Do you know what town that hail report was from?

    Posted June 9th at 2:29 PM

  25. Laura (working in Clinton):

    Just called home. Paris Hill had “accumulating” hail. Mostly pea sized but some nickle-sized hail mixed in. It hailed for almost 10 minutes.

    Posted June 9th at 2:32 PM

  26. Scott ( Richfield Springs:

    continuous thunder rolling in

    Posted June 9th at 2:33 PM

  27. Working in Utica:

    Richfield Springs looks to be “on deck” with this storm. Looks ugly. HATE the severe stuff, but it is nice to hear from everyone on the blog.

    Posted June 9th at 2:36 PM

  28. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Yeah I don’t trust that storm at all. One of the better looking storms all year. Lots of thunder here but nothing really around me that I know of. Dew is 68 degrees.

    Posted June 9th at 2:38 PM

  29. Scott ( Richfield Springs:

    pee size hail starting here

    Posted June 9th at 2:40 PM

  30. Gary:

    I’m on Kirkland Ave. and had the hail here near Rob Road.

    Posted June 9th at 2:45 PM

  31. Scott ( Richfield Springs):

    Major hail nickle & quarter size more damage to vehicles again

    Posted June 9th at 2:46 PM

  32. Stacey:

    Anything coming Dolgeville way. It’s hazy sunshine right now.

    Posted June 9th at 2:51 PM

  33. Adam Musyt:

    Thanks for the reports!

    Posted June 9th at 2:54 PM

  34. Working in Utica:

    Where exactly is the cold front? I am not seeing it on the radar yet. It is supposed to move through between 5 and 7…which is only a few hours away? That is one slow moving front!

    Posted June 9th at 2:58 PM

  35. Scott ( Richfield Springs):

    All done for now moved thru quick

    Posted June 9th at 3:00 PM

  36. Scott ( Richfield Springs):

    Have pics on cell phone with a quarter next to hail stones to show size mother nature at her best

    Posted June 9th at 3:03 PM

  37. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Laura I don’t know. It said 4 miles SE of Clinton. I matched the highest dbz level with the village of Clayville,and that’s about that distance away. It seems like the biggest hail should of fallen somewheres around there.

    Posted June 9th at 3:05 PM

  38. Adam Musyt:

    Working,

    It’s not terribly well-defined, but dew points west of a line drawn from Watertown to Rochester to Elmira have fallen into the 50’s. That serves as a good rough estimate.

    Posted June 9th at 3:31 PM

  44. Adam Musyt:

    Working,

    It has to do with the overall wind direction. Generally speaking, thunderstorms that fire ahead of a cold front move from southwest to northeast, but it’s not etched in stone. Usually there is some westerly component to the wind in severe weather situations

    Posted June 9th at 3:35 PM

  45. Rob (Whitesboro):

    Well that’s it for me. I doubt anything else will pop to our west. At least we managed a few marginal supercells today. Still some 40k tops in Otsego county with some decent hail. Hopefully we won’t have to wait another couple weeks for the next round.

    Posted June 9th at 3:45 PM

    Looks like it’s pretty much a done deal for areas west of route 12.

  54. LM-Whitesboro:

    A friend of ours stopped over to our house last night and mentioned that he has heard that long term forecasts are predicting a lousy summer…actually the terminology used was “no summer at all”. With the way its been so far I am fearful that will happen. We’ve always had long term forecasts in the past and while I realize its just trends and patterns, I am curious to know if the WKTV team agrees or disagrees with this prediction.

    Posted June 10th at 6:32 AM

  55. Bill Kardas:

    LM-

    I’m not sure where your friend heard that, but the information we’ve been looking at suggests that we’re due for at least seasonable weather here over the next few weeks. As far as summer predictions, I disagree with the notion that we won’t have a summer at all this year. I believe that this pattern we’ve been in since late May has been an anomaly and will not necessarily dictate what will happen for the rest of the summer. Despite talks of cool weather in Canada, the rest of the country has been warming up nicely. If this pattern does break, watch out, things can change quickly! In the meantime, for you folks that want hot weather, be patient. Lots of summer still to go…at least 2 1/2 months worth!

    Posted June 11th at 12:56 PM

    There was a pretty good sized cell in Northern Oneida county…maybe some small hail in an isolated spot. Not expecting severe weather this afternoon, but can’t completely rule it out either. Some small hail is possible in these storms that will pop up. Most of these storms will cause briefly heavy rain.

    My 24-hour rainfall was 2.42”. The cell that moved across northern Oneida Co. yesterday afternoon around 1 PM knocked over a large tree onto a house. It was about a mile east of Rt. 26, on East Ava Rd. The tree was very large, and had been uprooted, not broken. It was very strange, because I did not see any other damage in the area. A crew was removing the tree this morning.
