SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT AND WEATHER MAP DISCUSSION - THUNDERSTORMS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
1030 AM EDT TUE AUG 11 1992

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE TRI-STATE AREA BY THIS EVENING
COULD TRIGGER THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY STRONG GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON.

FOR A RARE TIME THIS SUMMER...RESIDENTS OF THE METROPOLITAN AREA
FIND THEMSELVES IN A HOT STICKY AIR MASS THIS TUESDAY.  A SOUTHWEST
FLOW OF AIR PRECEDING THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT HAS MADE THIS
POSSIBLE.  IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST DAY SINCE JULY 15TH THE THERMOMETER COULD CRACK
THE 90 DEGREE MARK AT CENTRAL PARK.

THERE IS A LAYER OF WARM AIR ABOVE THE GROUND THIS LATE MORNING THAT
IS LITERALLY BOTTLING UP THE WARM STICKY AIR NEAR US.  THIS LAYER
IS ACTING JUST LIKE A LID ON A POT OF BOILING WATER.  ONCE YOU REMOVE
THIS LID...AS IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THE HOT AND
HUMID AIR MASS WILL ROCKET UP AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP
QUICKLY.

SINCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL COINCIDE WITH THE MAXIMUM HEATING
OF THE DAY...SOME OF THESE COULD BECOME QUITE NASTY...AND POSSIBLY
EVEN REACH SEVERE LIMITS.   ALL PERSONS WHO ARE PLANNING OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES THIS AFTERNOON ARE ADVISED TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON THE
WEATHER.  THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM IS
INDOORS...AWAY FROM WINDOWS.  BOATERS AND MARINERS SHOULD ALSO BE WARY
FOR THREATENING WEATHER AND SEEK SAFE HARBOR AT THE FIRST SIGN OF
TROUBLE.  IT TAKES LESS WIND OVER THE OPEN WATER TO CAPSIZE BOATS THAN
IT DOES ON LAND TO START CAUSING DAMAGE.

FOLLOWING A FAMILIAR SCRIPT WE HAVE HAD THIS SUMMER...ONCE THIS FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING...A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE
IN TONIGHT AND GIVE US A PLEASANT SPELL OF WEATHER FOR THE MIDWEEK
PERIOD.

...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF NORTHERN
NEW JERSEY EXCEPT FOR SUSSEX...WARREN AND NORTHWEST PASSAIC COUNTIES...

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADARS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A BLOSSOMING
CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PENNSYLVANIA.  THE
CLOSEST THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO
NEW JERSEY AS OF 100 PM WERE LOCATED ABOUT 10 MILES WEST OF
ALLENTOWN.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING EAST AT 30 MILES AN HOUR WHICH MEANS
THE ALLENTWON THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD ENTER NEW JERSEY NEAR PHILLIPSBURG
AND HOLLAND ALONG THE HUNTERDON/WARREN COUNTY LINES CLOSE TO 130 PM.

ANOTHER THUNDERSTORM WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WAS
ALSO DEVELOPING NEAR PORT JERVIS IN ORNAGE COUNTY.  THIS THUNDERSTORM
WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS ORANGE COUNTY DURING THE NEXT HOUR
TRAVELING SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 84 AND PASS THROUGH FLORIDA AND
MONROE ON ITS WAY EASTWARD.

REMEMBER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF
NEW JERSEY.  BUT...THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THUNDERSTORMS OUTSIDE
OF THE WATCH AREA WILL BE WEAK.  ALL PERSONS SHOULD HEAD INDOORS
AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING WEATHER.
