China could have had one of there worst tornado outbreaks yesterday. Obviously tough to get much information, but the videos and damage look consistent with ef4/5. The tall apartment building reminds me of Joplin hospital damage. Click on the guys profile there’s plenty more crazy damage pictures. 

Records continue to fall out west in impressive fashion.

I hate the Yankees with a passion, but that game tonight on national television was impressive.  Gerrit Cole pitched his ass off.  A 1-0 win against the best lineup in the AL, the Astros, in a complete game shut piece?  Good baseball game.  Need to tip your cap when its deserved.

Ya that was a very impressive outing for him. I personally believe all these pitchers complaining about the sticky thing is absolute nonsense. Should of never happened in the first place so I guess MLB shoulders a lot of the blame. 

I’m a huge Sox fan but hopefully his performance tonight shuts up the people critical of the MLB crackdown. I will concede they should’nt have done it mid season.  

Beautiful day on the seacoast. Cool, sunny, not humid at all. Love drinking beers on my porch and people watching the nutjobs at Hampton Beach days like today. Wtf is going on out west though. I’m afraid for them what peak fire season brings. 

The high plains are cranking. Seems like these QLCS TORs have been more violent then normal the past few years. Rapid city radar sustained some serious damage from hail. Surprised it’s still up and running.

holy shite, glad we don't live there. That dude in the white van at around the 1 minute mark is lucky he got out of there. 

Honestly with how fast that water/mud was moving that I’m not sure he did unfortunately. That driver barely pulled away as a wall of debris game at him at like 60 mph or whatever. It was hauling ass down that hill. 

Should be a fun little event on the NH seacoast. Not expecting much in the way of wind, but water is just about always the bigger problem for us anyways. I got a feeling this won’t be the only tropical mischief we have up this way this summer. Did anyone ever post the flash flooding/landslides from Japan this week? We are lucky to not really be vulnerable to these kind of natural disasters in our part of the world. 

Trying to punch through this and get south. Got some good videos I’ll post later. 

That was nastier in Hampton then what the radar let on. Probably 50-55 mph gusts. Cops are picking up all the public trash bins that flew into ocean Blvd now. 

Radar starting to look juicy. That Jaffrey cell looks nasty and the cell by Manchester should go boom quickly as well. 

That Pittsfield cell is showing some decent ML rotation. I’m also thinking that bowing segment moving into sw NH now could cause some wind damage downstream. It’s working into a good environment.

I was thinking of a congested city with high rises and office buildings.

SLC is probably the best example like PowderBeard said. But if your looking for an actual violent tornado cutting through the heart of a major downtown area with high rises etc. we don’t have that on the record books as far as I’m aware of.

Probably a good guess, I was thinking maybe somewhere in Kansas or Missouri

Depends what your definition of creamed and large city is. Dallas, suburbs of Chicago (just a few weeks ago) and Dayton, OH have been hit more recently. But I would put Joplin, Tuscaloosa, and Moore ahead of all those. 

Damn Canada really feeling the effects of this heat wave out west terribly. I wonder what studies will be done after all is said and done on mortality rates out there this week. Such a synoptically impressive event but it comes with unfortunate consequences. 

“Canada broke its all-time national temperature record with a preliminary high of 46.6°C (116°F) in Lytton on Sunday, June 27, then beat the record again with a preliminary 47.9°C (118.2°F) on Monday. The old record was 45.0°C (113°F) from July 5, 1937. The high at Lytton is also the world’s highest temperature ever recorded north of latitude 50°N, according to international weather records expert Maximiliano Herrera.“

ENAHNED RISK TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to make a thread in a few hours.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMAGE HEAVY, HEAVY DAMAGE!!!!!

Nice! Reading that last spc outlook I figured we had a chance for ENH tomorrow but I didn’t want to jinx it. Looks like I won’t be getting 9 holes in after work, but I’m ok with that if I can trade off for some SVR.

Canada set its record high temp again today at 118. 
 

Florida has never recorded 110 degrees…

Canada just beat the all time high of Las Vegas. Let that sink in. 

Just silly by how much some of these records dropped. 

Ya that’s pretty absurd. Not often the point and click has any location beating the all time heat record. The low temperatures at night are typically the average high for them this time of year.

Felt kinda brisk earlier with the sea breeze. 60/53 Guess I'll be wishing for this next week.

Yup! 58/50 out in Hampton. Absolutely beautiful night for a fire in the backyard. Why anyone in there right mind wants next weeks heat literally blows my mind. You want 88/55 for a good beach day? Ok I’m fine with that. But 95/70 is a miserable piece of sweaty swamp ass crap. 

I have no AC and I’m not in a financial situation to buy one either so pound sand heat lovers.

- the 00z operational Euro has 18C with pocketed and plumes to 20C dappled within the chart, in a thermal layout at 850mb, smeared in a continental conveyor from Pittsburgh to the waters S of NS by 8 pm on that day.

The potential for that day is to outpace the machine guidance/interpretation tech.  However, the dice roll is in the ceiling/cloud expanse.  Though the air mass supports a hot day, it seems the model is bucking for more 700, 500 and 300 mb RH which lends to expectation for clouds and capping temp surely follows. 

Not sure though. We have a climate precedence in the area for when SW deep layer flows setup, to be bust the cloudier guidance as having been too much so - this could be one of those scenarios.  If so, the temperature part of the T and TD total pig bum may end up with bigger cheeks.  

That said, the DP is higher than previous guidance as well, with 65 to 70 already throughout the area.  So even if the temp does hold up at 84 to 86 ( which again...I have climo/modeling doubts given the synopsis ), that's what your traipsing around in out among the fairways ... that, and innumerate deer and horse flies doing mobius loops around your head and nape, while occasional sweat beads, cresting your brows, sting your eyes into blinking or shutting altogether right on your backstroke.

I'd be back at the club bar in A.C. and beer, asking them how it went when their soaked shirted frames piled back in myself.

Definitely copying this into the group chat with the guys I’m playing with on Sunday. There reaction should be priceless. 

Thats some terrible news coming out of Florida. So many things or a combination of them could have caused that. Sinkholes, dewatering from nearby construction, seawater seeping into the foundation from the limestone its built on top of, plus construction on the roof increasing load. These pictures I pulled off twitter show the scope of how big of a section collapsed.

No tornado warning?

Again ..depends on the guidance details in hand.  NAM ext tries to use drag coefficient/friction in a light wind to stagnate the warm air from getting in until Monday... But the Euro has +16.5 at 850 mb with DPs over 65, amid parallel isobars/SW flow ...smooth and laminar, so the NAM wouldn't fit that.  In fact, it has < 70% RH at ceiling heights, so if depending where you're teeing off, if it is NW of a PVD-Logan rough axis you're probably looking at 92/65 at apex T...   That would probably send the HI to 98 on Sunday ...  Euro is a four-day heat wave.  

GFS not as oppressive on Sunday but still puts up 88/62 ...    everybody swelters Monday in either rendition -

Thanks. Playing at Pease in Portsmouth NH so hoping for some marine influence to perhaps keep things in check. 88/62 is fine. Euro solution is certainly more oppressive.

I dunno about it's deterministic value but the Euro's 12z has 96/66 .. 70 in the point and click floater, Mon Tue and Wed this immediate next week, hovering over metrowest of Boston up to MHT

Just tell me Sunday isn’t an absolute scorcher...got 18 holes booked in the afternoon for my birthday. 

How about the PNW as well? I’d say 50% chance Portland, OR ties or beats there all time record this weekend. 

That line is holding together much better then I thought it would entering western MA. Little hook developing on that storm north of NYC as well. Doubtful anything drops down but imagine Chicago and NYC suburbs getting hit back to back days. Tornadoes have been loving populated areas recently 

Quick spin up on this one? Would have been pretty much impossible to warn in time. That is the land of the moose though, don’t see any structures around that whole lake on google maps.
