    62 knots EWR. This event still cranking along.
  2. OceanStWx
    I think you can with their highest level subscription.

    Storm mergers can be amazing things. Looks like an initial supercell merged with another cell father west and that kicked off new meso development and essentially a HP wind bag. That RFD meant business.

    You can even see it really surge out now that it hit the lower friction Sound.

    This is probably the most important point. It's probably going to need to do it soon if it's going to reach Cat 5, because the deep core convection is starting to interact with land and shear is increasing on the west side. They've got flights in there until landfall though, so we should know with a fair amount of certainty if it does or not.

    Yeah it's far away, but it's still at the upper end of what has been sampled on radars before. Not playing around with this one.

    There is definitely a bias towards the CAPE side since that's the easy one to get over the threshold, but overall it does a fair job for areal coverage.

    You would need an area of 45% hatched winds, which is probably a little too much to ask out of this event. I could see 45% wind, but hatched may be a stretch.

    I'm not entirely surprised to see that composite go high. All guidance agrees on one thing: where the warm front settles will be a focus for severe weather. They differ a little on placement, but the evolution is quite consistent.

    In fairness, the "unsurvivable" is coming directly from the NHC. You can argue whether that's hype or not, but it's not the result of media blowing it out of proportion. I would say it's a pretty small list of NWS offices this vulnerable to storm surge.

    Even that inverted BDL sounding still has 1100 J/kg MUCAPE available.

    It's a tough set up, not really a broad threat area but concentrated near the warm front wherever it ends up. Check out the differences between BDL and JFK. Neither of those is going to pop storms.

    5.25" according to his CoCoRaHS reports.

    Eventually got 0.29" out of yesterday's storms (another 0.18" today), but when it first started building overhead the drops were so big and infrequent it was actually evaporating off the patio faster than it was falling.

    LEW hit 34 knots so at least you aren't being a

    Same thing happened to me (after the bastards got me and the mower). Fired off a can of raid into the swarm origin point and sometime in the next 48 hours something found the free meal and dug up the rest of the nest.

    I kind of feel that way about all my home improvement projects. Front walkway? Deck? Solar panels?

    You'll find advice both ways, but the key is your interest rate. If you can earn more return by investing than the interest rate on your debt, you should invest.

    No hazard pay for the sweaty kids in June either.
  20. OceanStWx
    Awkward to handle for sure.

    Phone lines went down and that's usually how we get ASOS obs out. 50+ knots for 30 minutes and counting.

    I believe AWG was 126 mph in the June 1998 derecho.
  23. OceanStWx
    They are one of the best counties at reporting storm damage too.
  24. OceanStWx
    Someone's backyard station measured 106 mph east of Marshalltown.

    Mesovortices in QLCS type events is a result of line normal bulk shear in the 0-3 km layer. If you can get 30+ knots of shear normal to the line, they are likely to form. Sometimes they result in tornadoes if other ingredients are in place, but more often just enhance wind locally due to pressure perturbations.
