Can I share that on air with credit to you? 

Sorry ryan. Didn’t see this. You can use it! Although it’s probably too late.

This season has been very lame so far.

I crossed the path of the cell that was tornado warned. No damage.

Is that photo using HDR?

It has that 'HDR feel' to it... I like it...

I haven't been to Mohawk Mountain since maybe 2017 or 2018 but I think that I know exactly where you took the photo from...

 

I just got the new iPhone. I think it utilizes hdr. The lighting was pretty surreal up there.

Edit: sorry I guess I don’t know how to imbed the picture.

First tor warning of the day in central NY

Headed out to the amenia area! Gonna start by going to the top of Mohawk mtn in Cornwall.

For 45% damaging wind probs the wind probabilities in the watches aren't particularly high...

Do you think watches will be put up for Litchfield county?

Def the worst pain I’ve had. Thank you. Improving everyday. Albeit slowly

In a nutshell this is what you want to look for

1) Lift (cold front or pre-frontal trough for example) 

2) Rich low-level moisture (sfc dewpoints > 60-65 and sufficient moisture through the lowest 5,000-7,000 feet)

3) Instability (to fuel thunderstorms) 

4) Wind shear (to help with updraft strength and organization)

There are plenty of links I can send along later. There are plenty of parameters which can be assessed when determining the potential for convection and severe convection. While parameters are certainly helpful to look at and can give a great idea, everything needs to be factored together. Perhaps one of the more overlooked aspects of convective forecasting involves your lift/forcing. You can have 5,000 J/KG of CAPE but if your lift/shear suck it's going to be tough to get widespread severe weather. Meanwhile, you can have 1200 J/KG and tons of shear and get significant events. 

Thank you sir! I just want to have a better understanding of the forces at play. I hurt my back so all I’ve been doing for the last two weeks is trying to learn stuff to distract me from the pain lol.

@CT Rain @weatherwizcan you point me in the direction of some links or books that explain the development of severe storms/supercells/tornados?

about 2-2.5" out there, took a ride to Waterbury and the front came through as I was on 8, crazy near white out on the way down, lightened up considerably now, but still snow whipped by the wind

Wow I think we’ll barely crack an inch. Congrats lol.

Ummm. No returns over me and this is the best snow I’ve gotten out of this storm...

Burlington CT...

Local and state police having a hard time keeping up with accidents across Litchfield County Rt 8 and western portions of I-84.

Idk what’s up. Torrington has terrible snow growth and only like 1/2 inch on the ground.

Bout an hour or so and it looks like we dryslot?

yessir.. sitting at 34/33 and drizzle currently, I have a feeling I may be just a bit east for the real good stuff, think that'll be more norfolk west

Always is lol. Icebox

We have like 3 on the driveway here in the torrington area.

Radar looks like it’s getting really showery out to the west.
