eyewall

And of course I missed it. I wasn't out there. I don't feel any motivation to chase anymore after that.

You can smell the smoke today. Disgusting 

Yep it is pretty bad this go around.

This morning in Raleigh

Not much thunder, heard a few rumbles while I was outside.  Mostly towards Lowell

Likely a low-topped mini supercell. I wonder if anyone got a shot of the base at all.

That's a pretty decent velocity signature. Don't see any signs of a TDS yet though 

There was a frame or two where something tried to get going but then it kind of degraded.

It may be close to producing north of Acton now.

The meso went right over Maynard and is headed to Acton, Chelmsford/Lowell next. Probably at least a solid wall cloud on that cell. Watching for a CC drop.

Marginal Magic near the Durham/Chatham County line on 751 in NC:

Looks like a supercell may cross Lake Champlain into Burlington, VT and Colchester.

Does anyone know if it’s normal for this location to plateau like that?

Not sure. I think there may be an issue with the gauge.

Second highest crest of all time (Number 1 is 1927 which was monumental at this location)

I forgot to post pics of the surprise supercell that popped just NE of Raleigh last evening.

A friend of mine (Sam Cantell) sent me this pic overlooking the dam in Winooski. I have taken many flood shots from the platform across the river in this image but today it is cut off and closed. The path by the mill is flooded and some water is pouring onto the platform. If I was there I could use the new LAANC system to get approval to fly a drone over the river there but alas I am not (BTV airport is close by).

I would like to go up and volunteer for any relief efforts.

For reference this is not even close to Major Flood in Winooski back in 2017:

I took these in Winooski in 2017 (weeks before the Pi Day event during a big thaw). This isn't even close to Major Flood. I can only imagine what it will look like tomorrow:

They upped it:

This will be fun at the hydrodam in Winooski when it crests. I have been there when the river floods and the water release is an experience!

If you want an experience, I recommend going to the hydrodam in Winooski when this crests.

North Hills should have done better this time:

Yep, that’s been how it’s gone here. Watched areas just a few miles down the road get 1”+ while we barely got the edge of a collapsing cell. 0.12” for the day which brings the month to 0.17”

I took this yesterday and you can see downtown gets it but toward North Hills not so much:

Yesterday's South Boston VA supercell (I took this via drone):

yesterday's chase (east of Kerr Lake NC):


The 7/1 chase in southern Durham, NC looking toward Chapel Hill (the leftover smoke made it more difficult):




Raleigh on 7/1 on the backside of the QLCS (roll cloud headed northeast after a likely downburst to the south):

And finally a rainbow:

We hit Code Red AQ for a couple of hours overnight. It is slightly better this morning but from last evening through sunrise the smoke is the thickest I have seen it here so far.

Not great in NC this morning eithe (Raleigh):
