Wow, great report. Were you there at home when it passed? Could you see the funnel? Aprox time?

Hence "CoastalWx!?"

Scott uses the TBOS FAA radar for local wind insights. The pride of Weymouth - having a radar! LOL.

Sun could be interesting. Ydy it acted more like a BDF and cool marine infested, but tdy not at all. BDF in a classic sense occurs when it is anticyclonic NW flow here w/ high heights/thickness, and the only cool air is very shallow. Not the case here at all. It is cyclonic flow aloft w/ falling heights and a decent vort/shortwave moving in Sun aftn. GFS/ECM show half-decent CAPE and w/ the cold 500 temps and dynamic support, could be good in some areas. Not honkin' svr, but I bet good enough for WxWiz! The front sagging just to S may actually help in this case. Also, cells dropping N to S? They tend to do well.

Yes, and ASOS is as well. Recall it was noted that whatever falls in the ASOS gauge and melts as LEQ, can't be adjusted? So the 37.9" at PVD in the Feb storm had only 1.78" LEQ. That seems high the 21:1 ratio. BOS is much worse. 17.1" and only .47" LEQ for that storm? PVD -5", ORH -3.5", BDL -2.5" CON -2". So the -7.5" at BOS does not fit. And we are talking the first 5 months of the year where you do not have higher local differences from convection. But the media doesn't care, they just take thing as face value and run w/ it.

WxWiz wants a repeat of this! https://www.weather.gov/aly/derecho1995

Sat looking good. WxWiz needs the the tstm "hit!" And then Scott "Ossipee" hailers moving N-S on Sun. Can't get rid of these cold 500 troughs rotating through and the blocking. If the 00z ECMWF is correct, after Sat, no sig heat or dew point (gin and) juice UFN for eastern sections.

Oh, and WxWiz will like this, there were likely several spinners in SE MA and RI for Gloria, in addition to the one confirmed in Billerica MA. Look at the PNS from WSO PVD issued 3 days after Gloria (the bulletin is cut/pasted as is - typos are real). TTAA00 KPVD 301506 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON MA 1100 AM EDT MON SEP 30 1985 THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF TORNADOS ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE GLORIA IN THE AREA ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27. 1. LOCAL POLICE IN SEEKONK MA REPORTED A TORNADO HAVING OCCURRED AT PINE STREET ON THE REHOBOTH-SEEKONK MA LINE AT APPROXIMATELY 230 PM EDT. 2. A CHARLES CINTOLO IN GLOUCESTER RI REPORTED A TORNADO IN THAT AREA. 3. REPORTER FROM THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED TWO REPORTS OF TORNADOS: A. NEAR THE BURLINGAME STATE FOREST IN CHARLESTOWN RI. B. NEAR A GOLF COURSE IN W. KINGSTOWN RI. OUTSIDE THE AREA TWEKSBURY MA REPORTED A TORNADO WITNESSED BY STATE POLICE. SUMMARIZING: IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT ALONG WITH HURRICANCE GLORIA, THERE WERE TORNADOS IN THE AREA. FORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT ADD SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE DAMAGE ALREADY DONE BY GLORIA. THERE WERE NO LIVES LOST: NO BUILDINGS BLOWN APART, ETC TO WARRANT NOT PERSONALLY INVESTIGATING THESE REPORTS. THEY WILL BE RECORDED AS HAVING OCCURED IN OUR LOCAL STORM REPORTS AND STATION CLIMATOLOGICAL HISTORY BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WILL SERVE AS A REMINDER IN FUTURE HURRICANE EVENTS THAT TORNADOS CAN OCCUR WITH HURICANES. INCIDENTALLY) THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAD A TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM 10AM EDT TO 6PM EDT FRIDAY SEPT. 1985. RAMELLA So why did they not record these are tornadoes (they are not in NCEI Storm Data - even though it says they were recorded). Probably the same reason as Bob, magnitude of HU event/wind damage overshadowed individual spinner reports. Of course, this would not happen today. Once the NWS MAR occurred in the mid-late 90s, wx verification and outreach greatly expanded, and so did what got logged in Storm Data. As added bonus, here is the LSR from WSO BDR for the July 10, 1989 spinner event. WxWiz is . I recall this report vividly. What caught my eye the most was 4.4" of rain in 1/2 hr! I believe it b/c it was a MONSTA HP beast. The sky darkened black as night for this storm.

Bob tracking farther E made all the difference, If you were in SE MA and CC, it was the BIG BLOW. You can't expect too much when an accelerating HU passes E of you location at this latitude if you are looking for wind. R++ OTOH? However sometimes wild turkey surprise occurs. Edna in Sep 1954 BOS G88KT, it highest gust on record (beat G87KT from Carol 10 days earlier), and it was out of the NW as Edna passed over CC. Edna was going ET rather quickly and I'd bet good $$ it was a sting jet over SNE. If you look at HU Fiona's epic transition S of NS in Sep 2022, that's what likely happened to Edna. Bob's landfall at BID was 90 kt, which is considerably above Gloria's (75 kt) and Belle's (65 kt) landfalls -- the strongest since Donna in 1960, so don't dis Bob! NWS BOX told me not long after Bob, they had a number of reports of "Scott spinners" on CC, but due to the extent of the straight-line wind damage and resources, they could not investigate those reports. This was 2 years before the WSR-88D was installed, which now makes it much easier to pin down spinner reports and check specific areas, never mind cameras everywhere. So the next HU that makes landfall in SNE, we'll likely see a number of spinners.

I say we rebrand MD 20/20 for CoastalWx and call it "MAN SNOW!"

This is for 276 hr. One should not be using 2m temps from any model that far out as they are subject to large errors that do not have to do anything w/ the forecast limitations of beyond day 6-7, but the fact 2m temps are not MOS adjusted/calibrated.

The "wheel of misfortune" cut off still trying ruin it for Scott!

"Scott Spinner" in Upstate NY on 5/29 from the "cold" storm here on 5/30.
