"These stupid board settings won't let posters upload full pictures and the admins are too cheap to fix it!"

Several posters proceed to upload a multitude of full-sized pictures. 

Too perfect.

I think it's pretty clear that the wildfire smoke was the main culprit for thunderstorm activity not occurring over Maine as it suppressed instability to an extent and created and maintained a mid-level cap. Doesn't seem like modeling picked up on that at all. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the lack of storms in Maine also meant that the environment S and W was untapped and contributed to overperformance farther south in NY, VT, and NH. The forcing was clearly there and this was close to being a much more destructive event. I think we got pretty lucky all things considered but numerous severe reports in this region doesn't constitute a total "bust" IMO.
 

The local mets here were saying that when the front passed by the Ontario fires it caused them to flare up a ton - and modeling hadn't considered that.

Quite the tree damage I am told Springfield VT to Claremont NH.  I-91 was closed for a time.  Saw this report:

"You can see the path just south of mile 48. I-91 is a debris field for a quarter mile. Twisted trees snapped off that were more than a foot in diameter."

I wondered about a potential spin-up, especially after looking at CC.  Admittedly I am not a pro, though

Families location is the dot above Deering.

Wth is going on with satellite 

Safe mode'd.

Update (7/15/2026 7:18:26 PM): On Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 20:23Z/GMT, a GOES-19 / GOES-EAST satellite anomaly occurred which sent the satellite into "safe" mode. Recovery is underway, but it may take days or longer for imagery to resume production. Until then, no GOES-EAST imagery of the US or the Atlantic will be available. We apologize for the inconvenience. ---Nexlab Staff

Heard from my in-laws in Deering there's a ton of down trees on lines up on their hill from that line at 4AM.  Awaiting pics.

Doubt NY but if 1 state wanted to buck the rest of the region it would be NH

Wouldn't be a hard sell to get Maine on-board.

Ah yes.  Enough wind to topple trees but not even budge the patio furniture.

Dummy.

Classic vague tease.  "Get ready"  For what?  Makes one click!  And the arrow points to northern Mexico?  And it is totally unclear what the color shading is depicting, but as long as it is bright and flashy, who cares! 

I was about to give you a hard time for being so triggered over these clowns, but then here I am ready to Will Smith the next person I hear say "heat lightning".

He seems like the guy who counts driving his truck and walking inside from a parking lot as "working outside".

Didn't expect anything to pop off this far east without warning.  Must be the outflow from Sebago hitting thr marine air.

Lightning scared the shit out of me while I was taking an outdoor shower.

Great production.  It took me like 28 days of bluebird August 2025 to hit 2MWh in a month.  How much does the pool filter add to your consumption?  

Severe storm moving through Augusta 50 miles away from Scarborough beach.

Good cloud action before sunset.  Towers from storms about 35 miles west of PWM, with some fog bank rolling in.

We’ve seen them climb the 5-foot retaining wall to get into the Gondola barn and then remove the storage door, hinges and all, just to get to a bucket of compost.

Before seeing this sort of stuff, and like that car interior last year, I never really appreciated not having them here.  What a menace.

If you use that true color overlay and go earlier in the day, I swear you can see waves pulsating over the northeast/rust/mid atl.  Might have to zoom way in.  Yes, I'm sober.

Dude it’s out of control along the river banks here.

It’s pretty bad here too. There’s a big patch of it down the road along a stream that feeds into the Winni River. Last year a patch sprouted up roadside halfway up my hill and I’m tempted to roundup that shit myself before it starts spreading. 

The biggest problem I see, around here at least, is how well-intentioned homeowners unintentionally spread it. They cut it, bag it, and bring it to municipal compost sites, where viable fragments can get redistributed. Even mowing, cutting, or moving plant material can spread it if stem or rhizome fragments survive and easily reestablish.

Just solidifies my belief that when I retire, I need to go south from about March 15 until June 1st. 

When you figure out how to convince your wife that this is the correct time to go down south, please let us know.  Counting on you!
