Warned now

72 dbz to 14k from Albany radar. Must be dropping at least 1.5" hail.

Beautiful summer day out there

ehhh 6/10

Get temps up another 10 degrees and dewpoints another 7-10 then we can talk beautiful

Very localized. Only damage seems to be Lighthouse point and the area that says woodmont on your radar screenshot. 

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. 

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.

86mph at a home site just east of the lighthouse.

Here's a scan 5 minutes after what I posted. Definitely interesting around there

Around 130 EDT

Only 37mph at HVN right next door.

must have been a super localized gust. Actually further looking at the radar, I wonder if there may have been a brief TOR?

Think the worst of it was from 1-2am no? Another storm came through at 5ish but I thought that one was weaker. At least I was able to sleep through that one lol

yeah I just edited my post for the time. Meant to convert from Z but forgot   

wonder what time that was. This is a scan from 1:25 AM

HOLY SHIT.

I definitely wasn’t implying tornadic lol more just an isolated high level wind signature. 

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

Doesn't look like anything tornadic but certainly looks like a decent little wind signature between Orange and Milford

Not sure how this happened but there was a partial building collapse in town as well from the storm . 

Going to pull up radar data from this morning

So glad we got to use Cristobal for a name

Looks like a big severe day for PA on Sunday...shocker 

It hasn't rained here since overnight

DROUGHT!!!!

Can @weatherwiz see the CB from his place???  Clear as a bell to the N!

No warning on this?  Strong hail core.  White VIL on Radarscope means svr almost for sure.  Obviously a supercell, and 90% of all supercells produce some form of svr wx.

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

Might be a decent light show tonight SOP

And MET is going away in Oct.

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.

That would be like my peak gust for the last 20 years here.

Looks like they got 58 mph 6 minutes later 

54 mph at IND and I think that was just from the gust front

Just the whole region blows for anything remotely exciting or extreme 

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.

It’s happened about 12 times perfectly for that area this summer 

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. 

Big wind headed to SBN. Can't wait to see the obs
