Hampton Beach not 20 min ago. Photos courtesy of Rich Hamel. Even when no tstms exist, the mesoscale "Hampton Effect" as I have called it, comes through!

EDIT: Oops! I did not realize the graphic was adjusted/edited for the additional fake categories! Yes, what you noted about dew points and descriptors, it used to be that way, but enter the age of excess labeling and hype! Below 60 is comfortable, 60-65 moderately humid, 65-70 muggy, and 70 and above oppressive/tropical for the vast majority of the population. Sticky, muggy, and humid mean the same thing. And 60-65 is not muggy per se. Tropical is 70 and above.

SPC took out general tstms for SNE 13z update? I don't think so. Plenty of sun, adequate CAPE, and cold temps aloft as a solid s/w trof swings through. HRRR and RRFS clearly show cells ern MA and the S Coast. 12z RRFS gets carried away it seems Buzzards Bay area showing a li'l 2.78" max but the 06z had a .70" max in the same area. Meso models all along have shown decent potential S Coast today, so no reason to think it will not happen. Also, storms dropping from the N often over-perform in SNE and it's how CC and the S Coast do their best.

BOOTYLICIOUS?

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!

"THEY TOOK THE BAR, WHOLE F'IN BAR!!!"

Should of stayed in VT!!! RRFS was correct w/ discrete cell near RUT.

Left-moving supercell? Where is wxwiz?!

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.
