    I drove around Branford yesterday and the damage is remarkable. Widespread 80-100 mph gusts with snapped stands of hardwood trees, some structural damage, etc. Have to imagine it's the worst damage in town since at least Hurricane Gloria. What struck me overall was the pretty much continuous damage path from Bethany to Hamden to North Haven and then North Branford/Foxon/Branford. One of the most impressive swaths of widespread damage I can recall outside of a significant tornado in New England.

    It was in time for Branford but definitely late for Bethany and Hamden.

    Here's our coverage as the storms moved into the New Haven area. Pretty impressive live shots from Hamden and New Haven in there too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yow0-a_YDe0

    Yeah, looks like straight line wind damage to me. Radar matched what I saw on the ground very well... narrow path that reached max strength over North Haven followed by the circulation occluding and a hellacious RFD surge southeast of there. I don't really like the NWS classification of microbursts... this was just a really wide swath of RFD damage.

    I wrote about the storm in my blog if anyone's interested. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather-news/on-ryans-radar/august-27-tornado-event/2325826/

    Looks like it was a meteotsunami in Long Island Sound.

    We mentioned Leete's Island and Stony Creek a few times on air this afternoon - was a wild looking storm down that way.

    Well that was quite a day

    Seems like the convection between ALB and BGM is going to help at least temporarily keep the warm front south as it moves toward CT.
  10. CT Rain
    Yeah, that's not great.

    Meanwhile, here in reality, Chris's point is very good. Doesn't look like a widespread event but rather a real nasty cluster of storms near and along the warm front. Too far south is capped and too far north is wedged.

    And good effective shear too.

    Drizzle in Tolland? Roofs off in Southington?
  14. CT Rain
    There is the potential for some elevated convection NE of the front - watch for some hailers.

    It also has to strengthen some. A 1002 mb low over BDR isn't going to be very exciting. If the UKMet is right with something in the mid 980s then we'll have more of an opportunity for fun.

    lol no kidding. If this goes too far west I'd be worried about missing out on rain. Do think there's a risk for some tornadoes east of the storm's path and at least some gusty wind particularly south coast. Not a huge storm but may be fun for some.

    This could be a rare upslope event into Litchfield Co CT. It's tough to get it without a good synoptic assist.

    To be honest, we get so many bad snowfall reports in the media (some intentional, some not) it's easy to toss the outliers at first.

    Isoplethed this as best we could.

    Nice! Where in Scotland? Josh wants to head up there to take some pictures of the jackpot zone.
  21. CT Rain
    lol you mehd your way to 5"
  22. CT Rain
    Only 4" on my snow board in WeHa.
  23. CT Rain
    Yeah woof. That was unpleasant.
  24. CT Rain
    It's not snowing hard there yet?
  25. CT Rain
