Severe Thunderstorm Warning 29, NWS New York, NY

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT  AND  WEATHER MAP DISCUSSION FOR
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN NEW YORK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
330 PM EDT MON JUL 9 1990

...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH COVERS THE NORTHERN HALF OF NEW JERSEY
...AND NEW YORK CITY AND NASSAU COUNTY IN NEW YORK...TIL 10 PM...

A COLD FRONT WAS MOVING EASTSOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NEW YORK AND
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AT MIDAFTERNOON. THE VERY WARM HUMID AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS IN FRONT OF THIS FRONT IS A PRIME AREA FOR THE FORMATION OF
VERY STRONG AND POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE UPPER 80S
AND LOW 90S...AND HUMIDITIES WERE QUITE HIGH. AT 3 PM...A STRONG
THUNDERSTORM CELL WAS MOVING INTO CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. IN FACT...
CENTRAL NEW JERSEY COULD BE THE FOCUS OF MUCH OF THE STORM ACTIVITY
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER...ALL AREA RESIDENTS NEED TO
REMAIN ALERT TO CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

AFTER THE FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA TONIGHT...WE LOOK FOR
EQUALLY WARM BUT SOMEWHAT LESS HUMID WEATHER FOR TUESDAY. CONTINUED
LOW PRESSURE IN THE UPPER PART OF THE ATMOSPHERE COULD PROVIDE A
RETURN TO SHOWER CHANCES FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT TEMPERATURES COULD EASE A
BIT BY THEN.

FURTHER STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED AS CONDITIONS WARRANT...SO STAY
TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR COMMERCIAL RADIO AND TV FOR FURTHER
WEATHER UPDATES...AS WELL AS POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
