It was more or less tracking right on the edge of the steeper lapse rates. Most impressive that it was able to become surface based despite the time of day.

One of our techs is there now, but I'm not hopeful for recovering it.

50 dBZ over 30,000 ft at 7 am. Not too shabby.

Live look...

Friday has that look, where we don't overturn the air mass on Thursday and end up doing the marginal risk on Friday instead.

Yes. There were two with the supercell by Great Barrington, one in CT, another in NJ, and several across parts of PA.

Woof. I'm glad I never had to use 8 bit radar data. I'm also pretty sure ALY was still operating the 74C for this event, this was the summer they installed the 88D. Can definitely infer some things about it with OKX data. It's roughly 40 kt Vrot over 80 nm from the radar. So considering it's already smoothing the details because it's 8-bit data, and the range from the radar means the large beam volume smooths it even more, this would've been impressive with today's super res.

There is a pretty good signal on the EPS for a wet weekend after next.

Can't wait for this same report next December.

Hang on to those lapse rates though and I'm interested.

I took three passes across the lawn yesterday before the bag was full.

As an example, as the storms approached BOX you could start to see a faint echo representing the gust front/outflow. Conditions were really conducive to forming strong cold pools. and so the leading edge of the wind was approaching Danvers when you wouldn't have seen rain until you got to Newburyport. That's one way to do it. Another is a dry microburst. That is more of a western CONUS thing. You need deep dry air in the lower levels, which evaporates all the precip before it hits the ground. However you still get evaporatively cooled air that accelerates to the ground and can be quite strong. MAF a week or two ago gusted to over 100 mph from a dry microburst.

It's the OFB from that storm that is intersecting the line back by Ware, MA We had a TOR drawn up if that had started looking any better.

Line is intersecting an outflow boundary down around Belchertown/Three Rivers. Might be enough to spin something up.

I'm liking the surges in the line near Thompsonville and Northampton.

Gonna uninstall those ACs for you?

I just did. I had to find my directions to remember the process. You can go years up here without issuing one.

I honestly can't remember the last time I had to issue a watch. I'm always either off or working the radar.

As long as spring is last.

They have. This particular scene is all the better when you find out that it wasn't in the script. He just improvised it.

What do you mean? He's already washed the truck and did a little lawn clean up. Beautiful day to relax on the deck.

5 straight hours of showers at Robin Circle.
