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.

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.

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.

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.“ https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/06/the-cool-lush-pacific-northwest-roasts-in-death-valley-like-temperatures/

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 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.

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.

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. credit- https://mobile.twitter.com/BoldlyBuilding2

No tornado warning?

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.

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.

There are certainly some isolated cells that could take advantage of the environment, but not sure if there’s enough shear to make it happen. This cell up in Maine is certainly trying. If anyone’s interested go check out the lakes forum. Poster there intercepted that Chicago tornado last night. Nocturnal QLCS likely EF3 Tornado moving through a highly populated area...amazing there wasn’t fatalities. Good job by the NWS. https://mobile.twitter.com/ou_sams/status/1406837590775398403 https://mobile.twitter.com/ou_sams/status/1406832615643099136

I hope so as well. But after a quick glance at his Facebook page I wouldn’t call him a chaser or reliable source. Tuning in on the scanner myself it’s certainly busy.

That’s perfectly fine, but in this day and age its not all to hard to upgrade to a tornado watch when looking at trends. Especially when issuing a new watch probably pushes a new notification to most people’s phones increasing awareness. Again not trying to be overly critical of people much smarter then me, but I think a TOR watch is well warranted especially with the nocturnal threat. How many members of the general public are looking at the probabilities and mesoscale discussions?

Not to be critical but anyone want to explain how there is a severe thunderstorm watch in place instead of a tornado watch when I’m looking at this on radar? Regardless hope you are all safe out there.
