Livin' in a C-I-T-Y!

Same supercell that was in VT earlier, just weakened a bit and now has ramped up, EIR shows a solid overshooting top.

Two thing CoastalWx will go on and on about, Animal House and Rocky IV!

That large of an area to the E of a lead warning? The eastern edge of the warning, it is going to be almost an hour before anything occurs When ppl get a svr tstm warning, and say, 30 min goes by, and nothing has happened yet, that I would argue promotes apathy, and ppl will start to stand down/go back to what they are doing. Many ppl are only willing to take so much time out of the day for short-fused, convective-related warnings like this. A longer lead time is not always better. There comes a point of diminishing returns.

Ever notice watches often stop in Berkshire and Litchfield Counties? I wonder why... WFO CWA boundary perhaps?

12 and 3 km NAM soundings show half-decent spinner potential in VT, but these models tend to overdo it a bit. Small window 4-6pm for Scott supercells in VT.

15z RRFS shows the classic "cell ahead of line" near RUT. 15z HRRR looks somewhat better that prev runs for the SQLN holding on better farther E.

Definitely a CoastalWx switch I see. He is leaning more towards having a PT in the warm season w/ time and all the wx phenomena that comes w/ that!

The Cape Cod CONS LTG. I am pretty sure it was from a second wave after the 3 tornadic supercells in the afternoon. A few years ago, high quality photos surfaced taken from central MA showing local damage and also showed a very crisp and impressive CB in the distance to the E close to sunset. So that would jibe w/ the Cape Cod LTG.

At least Weymouth got about 6". Enough for Scott to "break the 6" drought" and it look "VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL" out there! LOL.

I am not sure. A warm front passed early in the day, so that would mean RW/TRW were likely. In the afternoon, it was three distinct supercells, one in NH and two in MA. Then I think w/ the actual cold front there were few more severe storms, based on photos near sunset that showed crisp CBs on the horizon well the E of Rutland MA. Warm front passages in the morning w/ RW/TRW occurred both on 7/10/1989 and 6/1/2011.
