General Weather Chat / Severe Thunderstorm Watch #504
« on: July 23, 2012, 02:27:56 PM »
The National Weather Service (NWS) Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch #504 for portions of western Connecticut, northern New Jersey, central and eastern New York (except for central and eastern Long Island), northeastern Pennsylvania, all of Vermont, Berkshire County in western Massachusetts, and adjacent coastal waters until 11 pm Eastern Time.
Remember, a severe thunderstorm watch means that conditions are favorable for severe weather development, including large hail and damaging winds, in and close to the watch area. Although severe weather may not be imminent at this time, people in the watch area should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and listen for later official NWS statements and possible official NWS warnings via NOAA Weather Radio and http://www.weather.gov/, or commercial radio/television outlets and internet sources relaying official NWS products for the latest severe weather information.
Please go to http://www.weather.gov and type in your location (in "City, State" or "City, ST" format [ST = two digit state code without periods]) to see if you are affected by the watch, unless you are in Vermont, where the entire state is included, hence rendering the look-up useless there.
