Tornado Watch From North Carolina To The Capital District Of New York

Regional Update...
   Tornado Watches In Effect From As Far South As Holly Ridge, North Carolina, To As Far North As Hadley New York...


     Tornado watches in effect for a large area of the east coast. As stated in the headline Tornado watches are in effect from as far south as Holly Ridge, North Carolina, to as Far North as Hadley New York, which is several miles west of Glens Falls New York.
     A fairly strong low pressure system of 991mb currently moving North-Northeast towards Central New York is bringing strong instability along the east coast, due to the region being under the warm sector, which contains the warmer, unstable air, and strong jet dynamics. Strong shear winds will be capable of spinning up some small tornadoes in and near the entire watch area, as a strong cold front moves in from the west. The tornado threat will continue through early tonight. A squall line moving into the western portions of the tornado watches will continue moving east bringing strong winds, and heavy rains, as well as a few tornadoes due to the strong low level veering winds. Anyone living in the watch area should prepare for severe weather, and if encountering deteriorating weather conditions, make sure to take cover. Heed the advice of all warnings issued.
