Saturday, July 18, 2026 Thunderstorm/Severe Weather Potential

Wow, it looks like 8:30 pm out there. There's a weird "solar eclipse" vibe about it where things don't quite seem right. The air definitely has a heaviness to it. I don't smell smoke, but my mouth kind of tastes weird. Was it mostly forest that burned up there, or did it hit a lot of manmade things that have who knows what in them?

Hoisting the Sultan Signal: Heavy Rain Event July 5-7
wx_observer replied to WxWatcher007's topic in New England
I don't care what the thermometer says. 61 degrees in July feels soooo much colder than 61 degrees in May. I'm shivering my timbers over here...brrrr! -
NWS website down. EDIT: Came back up as soon as I posted this.

From Junorch to Jultorch...

Those cells peaked just west of me. It's about as hard as I've seen it rain, but it was otherwise unremarkable by the time the cell got here.
-
Mostly torrential rain right now, but really to head downstairs if needed. Gusty, but no more than earlier today. Not surprised if something happened in Paxton area--it looked pretty strong on velocity in that area.
-
That cell back in Warren is a bit amped too
-
And we're warned. The storm track going right over my house. Didn't have to chase anything lol

TVS heading this way. Always interesting to see what actually happens with cells like this. Usually it's much ado about nothing.

Sunny now, but still very breezy in central MA. This wind today has been stronger than I normally see during the average t-storm. North of MA border looks feisty! Really impressive main line of storms, but not sure how much of this makes it into Central / Eastern MA.
-
Skies are brightening up here. FWIW, there's already a tor warning in Western NY.
-
A month out from my last frost date, and I just gave away the last of my backup starter plants. Fun times.
-
So what does that look like in terms of surface winds? I'm in central MA and trying to figure out if I need to protect the veggie garden plants.
-
Just north of it, yes.

Temps were borderline for ice here. You can tell by the amount of drippy icicles on everything, rather than a thicker radial coating.
