(TheWeatherSpace.com) — TheWeatherSpace.com Senior Meteorologist Kevin Martin is monitoring areas surrounding New York City on Sunday for severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes.
“Latest guidance is showing a healthy upper level jet in the area on top of an even better backing southeast flow at the surface where 30kts exists at 2,000 feet,” said Martin. “This just might be enough shear with the shown instability to bring a tornado threat into the picture from the Northeast through Maryland, New Jersey, and Eastern Pennsylvania.”
The areas of the Mid-Atlantic through some of the lower Northeast may require a TWS Tornado Watch product if Martin maintains his wording on Sunday morning.
