    confirmed tornado warning about an hour ago, south and SE of Buffalo (East Aurora)
  2. Chinook
    this was (one of) the large tornado(es) with debris seen quite close to the radar

    storm chasers say they may have hurricane-force winds close to Matagorda. (Buoy system reports 47mph gusting to 54mph at Matagorda Bay entrance channel)
  4. Chinook
    another observation from the Gulf

    The far-West heat has been quite bad. Needles, California, had a daily high temperature record of 122 recently, beating a value of 121. I have barely ever seen that kind of temperature in a populated area. Sorry you guys had +5F for June, that is, 3 to 5.6 degrees above normal for June. Must have been rough. Actually I had my own 100 to deal with one day. Looks like Las Vegas is 118 is right now, which apparently breaks the all-time record. 1-2" hail with supercells down by Pueblo and Colorado Springs right now

    this is out in the Gulf

    satellite and measured winds

    By the way, did the hurricane hunters complete a recon before landfall at 11z? I can't tell.
  9. Chinook
    The recon just said 969mb as per this plot. I'm not sure if this means it has lost any max wind speeds in the last couple of hours?

    Kingston- 38 kt gusting to 70 kt (just above cat-1 strength gust)
  11. Chinook
    pressure seems normal. light rain. what's to worry about
  12. Chinook
    Any historians know if there has been a Cat-5 equivalent in ANY basin on July 1st of ANY year?
  13. Chinook
    tornadoes by Iowa City earlier
  14. Chinook
    Three non-confirmed tornado warnings

    Models show that there is a high chance for a squall line, with likely some severe reports, to affect parts of Iowa and possibly Illinois. Dew points will be a balmy 75 degrees in Iowa, with some impressive deep-layer shear for July.

    This is an incredible measurement. Not many places are close enough to a major hurricane to measure 105 knots gust.
  17. Chinook
    sort of looks like a skull or face with its mouth open
  18. Chinook
    Barbados radar is seeing the eye/eyewall pretty well now
  19. Chinook
    Nice pics!

    This model has several severe storms, so probably at least a slight risk in the area.
  21. Chinook
    The NY area really had something like 200 or 300 storm reports a few days ago. Now, it looks like several more severe storms will be in the general area. As per last night's models, I thought this might be a slight risk, as advertised yesterday, by the SPC. Now, the enhanced risk seems alright.
  22. Chinook
    from Tuesday
  23. Chinook
    some more tornado reports near the Des Moines metro
  24. Chinook
    I saw this cool shelf cloud in Toledo. Much of the same thing. It perhaps was the best view of a shelf cloud I've had in my entire life. (I didn't get a picture.) Then I drove straight toward it, that is, I had to drive to Detroit and back. Rainy! Saw some lightning bolts! But otherwise, terrible.
  25. Chinook
    Possible non-supercell tornado. Maybe some Iowa people have a great view of this towering storm with 6000 J/kg of CAPE
