NYC-area Storm Diversions: June 5th, 2007

[Matt Molnar]

Welcome to the first real thunderstorm-afternoon of this summer! Could be some interesting diversions this afternoon with severe storms in the forecast. Already a Tornado Warning in Connecticut and there looks like a decent line beginning to form in eastern Pennsylvania heading this way.

Post any diversions you see here!

I just got back from work, they're not expecting the storms to have a direct impact on the area, other then departure delays.

i was looking at the wx radar earlier, and saw nothing. looks like it's going to be a quiet night with the exception of the delays in and out of the area. just look at the radar...

Most of the activity is progged to be north of the city. We may get an isolated t'storm, but it doesn't look like anything very organized will move in this afternoon.

That's a neat radar map.

[Matt Molnar]

Yep, seems that it's all going north. NEVERMIND. :)

I had some high hopes for SWF today but not anymore. :(

Hey Matt, are you trying to steal my role as the Sam Champion of the tower while I am off having fun?

that it is... the original will let you zoom in much more, but is on the Hub (US Employee website) so you need a login to see it. as for you ryan, you will forever be samantha upstairs.

in your defense, you at the very lease give out proper information. albeit too much info, you will not give out a wrong forecast to managers.

Friday is looking a lot better (or worse, depending on your point of view) for severe thunderstorms...the worst of the activity is going to be west of here, but we should start to see some strong-to-severe thunderstorms by early evening.

[hiss srq]

Worse defineately, the more weather there is the longer I stay in the tower. The plus side is watching some wild approaches or departure turn outs depending on where the storm is verses LaGuardia Airport.

I'm not seeing any storms in the forecast for Friday but I hope there will be some, I have a half day which would free me up if I need to take a trip down to SWF!

[USAF Pilot 07]

Gonna be HOT on Friday... Couple that with significant instability values progged for Friday, and there is a good chance for some t'storms... Severe? Haven't really looked at shear or CAPE forecasts, but my guess would be that with temps in the 90s and what looks to be high dewpoints, there should be enough shear and CAPE (among other things) for severe storms....

[hiss srq]

I tend to agree with you USAF. Unfortuenately it looks like it will be another night spent in the tower with many issues at work if so.. Eh it is cool though. I love that overtime.
