    Monitoring and handling several outdoor high school graduation ceremonies across western CT today; and am wary of my districts near the NY/CT border region...  Always a tough call since folks want to know hours in advance whether or not a cell is going to go directly over the event area!  Lol.  Yesterday we had to send and keep folks in their cards for an extended period until cells cleared the area and lightning was at least 10 miles away... Nerve-wracking as hell...  I will monitor your page for any local obs of interest out in that area today...  I thought the RRFS did the best job yesterday and is the most bullish again today... not my favorite model, but it appeared to have the best handle on things late yesterday.

    The RRFS did well yesterday for sure. In fact, some of the extended HRRR runs from the previous day hinted at that evolution and progression too. I would not be surprised if some of the guidance is underdone today as well. I think what helped yesterday was the cells which fired developed a strong cold pool and that helped the cluster materialize. I don't believe CAMs are great at picking up on that and I would not be surprised if we saw similar today. Also it looks like there are some residual outflow boundaries from yesterday as well.

    Wxwiiz mad he missed this???  CoastalWx proby just MEH!  LOL.

    Look what happened Thu just over the border in Pauling NY.  Hail up to 2" in diameter.
     
    Serious wind damage right over the CT border in Quaker Hill NY.
     
    NW flow delivers!  The LTG plot reminded me of July 10, 1989 a little.
    Also, June 20, 1995. See here:

    We were hoping that cell would maintain as it went southeast but it weakened some.

    Looks like many more chances the  next 10 days or so!

    thinking of around the Albany area tomorrow then we'll see what happens Sunday. Back to work Monday though and started summer classes this week which have me revising my life choices so not sure how much time for chasing I'll have rest of summer unless its super local

    Channeling my inner Wiz right now...All this heat and dews and/or summer cancel talk is boring, are we getting t-storms tonight or not?

    I think there will be some storms overnight, perhaps some sort of cluster moving through. Not really liking how unenthused CAMs really are with today or even tomorrow. Lack of forcing is a big killer but I would not be shocked if we can get at least widely isolated stuff later this afternoon and if lucky, a small cluster moving through overnight.

    fun times ahead? @weatherwiz

    May not have an EML but potential for steeper than usual lapse rates. This could be a significant wind event though if the strongest shear wasn’t lagging. With this said, given large CAPE and large dew point depression, there may be a nice swath of wind damage but with rapid weakening as the line enters western areas

    Thursday is an interesting day. I think the best instability probably rides into New York State and New Jersey possibly into western southern New England, but there’s an EML that’s gonna be trying to move in and Northwest flow aloft. Some of the soundings  looked pretty impressive, especially on the nam yesterday. That’s a day to watch especially in western areas.

    Was waiting for your comment on this! 

    Its intriguing for sure.

    Not sure it’s actually a shortwave though. Follow it backwards, looks like convectively driven vorticity to me. Don’t get me wrong, it can work, but worried we’re missing the S & L of SLIM. 

    ahhh yes you're right. Comes out of convection which evolves in the upper-Midwest. Certainly can work but...that is definitely more of a long shot,

    Are we relying on the previous days convection for a trigger?

    That’s a good thought. I didn’t think of that. It seems though the question is the trajectory of that shortwave diving southeast out of Canada and where the front becomes positioned. 
     

    I am really intrigued by this but I hate how it’s just really the NAM that is showing a robust EML. The euro may be as well but I only have weather models so limited on euro products.

    Roadtrip to Binghamton?

    NAM is really aggressive with an expansive EML advecting into the region. GFS not so much. A little nervous on this because the NAM tends to overdo these, however, you throw an EML in Thursday with a shortwave trough moving through and there will be some severe storms. Lots of details to iron out these next few days!
