  1. ehhh 6/10 Get temps up another 10 degrees and dewpoints another 7-10 then we can talk beautiful
  2. I am really starting to wonder if a brief tornado touchdown between Milford/Orange and then touched down again around Lighthouse Point. We'll have to see if the NWS sends out anyone to survey.
  3. Looking through at mesoanalysis last night and there is nothing really jumping out. There had to have been some sort of mesoscale or microscale interaction to really enhance things. But this is really nuts...80-100+ mph straight-lines is not easy to accomplish, especially here and especially at night.
  4. Here's a scan 5 minutes after what I posted. Definitely interesting around there
  5. must have been a super localized gust. Actually further looking at the radar, I wonder if there may have been a brief TOR?
  6. yeah I just edited my post for the time. Meant to convert from Z but forgot
  7. wonder what time that was. This is a scan from 1:25 AM
  8. I know you weren't...just was verifying to see. Not too uncommon around these parts to see very short-lived TDS signatures so was curious if that could have been the case
  9. Doesn't look like anything tornadic but certainly looks like a decent little wind signature between Orange and Milford
  10. Looks like a big severe day for PA on Sunday...shocker
  11. It hasn't rained here since overnight DROUGHT!!!!
  12. I think my friend may have gone after that. I briefly saw some video/time lapse he got...assuming that is the cell. I'll have to ask him
  13. Thank God. IT is unfortunate because its obviously great with CAD scenarios and tends to be better with temperatures along boundaries with extensive clouds and precip but its useless 99% of the time. Oh...should add its also a bit more down to Earth where it will have 93/74 versus the 101/63 the GFS will pull.
  14. 54 mph at IND and I think that was just from the gust front
  15. I've said this before...the extremeness of our weather events is relatively tame. Even winter storms. Sure now and then we get the monster 2-3ft snowstorms but they're really not crippling. Look at the northern/central Plains and upper-Midwest...they will have large stretches of major interstates closed because combination of winds and snow. But infrastructure and density of trees and the issues of tree disease, the impacts for lesser weather extremes can be far greater than elsewhere.
  16. Where they are geographically it just works out. They tend to end up on the northern periphery of the ridging and also closer to the EML source so a lesser chance to disrupt the integrity of the EML and they can very easily pull up dews well into the 70's. You get temps well into the 80's and 90's with dews into the mid 70's under lapse rates > 7.5-8 C/KM, good shear, and shortwaves moving through the flow and it all comes together.
  17. It's just so hard to get everything to align perfectly. You need the ridge to be oriented just the right way, you need to time EML advection with a shortwave/front, you need the llvl flow to transport rich moisture into the region. Everything has to be perfection
  18. I couldn't imagine what the scenes would be like if something like that ripped through here. I mean it kind of did on 7/15/95 but the Adirondacks took the worst of it...imagine just blowing through populated areas.
  19. Some serious wind on the south end of Chicago and headed into northern IN. 70-80+ knots ~1500 ft off the ground!!!
