I don't know any specifics but it seems like an EM tried to issue a non-weather related message (like an AMBER alert or the like) and got it real wrong.

hmmm well it is Colorado, maybe was trying to put an order in for edibles

models doing manufacturing physical reasons to shunt tho -

TBH, I hope it does setup right over the mid-South and we end up on the eastern periphery. You could bet we would get some EML plumes advecting in at times along with some MCS opportunities...but yeah that all may get shunted towards the mid-Atlantic 

The heat and humidity is coming...buckle up, settle in, and enjoy.

Yes, it is based on the June 3, 1980 Grand Island NE event (look it up, PT material for sure).

It was awesome?  How did you like the anticyclonic hurricane over Nebraska as what the storm looked like?  And the "chase" scene or the climax is the apex of cheesy silly (tornado "following" the family in their car).

At least "Twister" tried.  It has some issues, but I can forgive for artistic license to a point, as it is for entertainment.  For a wx movie, it was about as good as you make one IMHO w/o going off the rails silly/stupid!

That was definitely cheesy...and the trailing car getting sucked away...reminded me of when you would get sucked up by that sun in Super Mario 3

The trailer is about as cliche and formulatic as you can get.  And what does jogging in slow motion have to do w/ storm chasing?  Talk about an intro that is been done 1000x over.  That's they best they could do for a intro?

And as if storm chasing has not been dramatized and romanticized enough already?  I fear the roads next spring.  We keep thinking, "how can it get worse?" and then witness another year. 
 

And if this movie does very well?  You can expect a flood of more wx movies, some downright egregious, as everyone tries to cash in on the renewed fad/novelty.  Recall what we saw after "Twister" in 1996?  We got "Night of the Twisters" and "Tornado," and it seemed every popular show on TV at the time had to insert a tornado into the plot!
 

Night of the Twisters was awesome, read the book too. But, wasn't this based on a "true" event? And I say "true" because the specifics/details weren't exactly based on reality but the background of the event was

How does this current pattern affect any potential tropical activity up here? If it does at all?

Given this (granted its early) I don't think tropical is anything we'll be tracking. Unless you want to count any remnant Gulf systems being absorbed in troughs come Fall and moving up to our west

Probably be some decent rains SOP tomorrow...might be a couple different waves of it

May get some loud overnight elevated convection tonight across SE CT into MA and far SE MA

Today worked out pretty well. Performed as it should have 

Def had some weak rotation pass overhead. Rain was coming like a curtain and quickly shifted with a huge gust. Not bad!

I think that cell has a BWER though wish I had my laptop to use GR lvl 2 to identify more easily then trying to switch tilts on my phone

Fish on air and doesnt see it?? 

Might want to look harder 

Need a warning south of these ones for Charlton

Actually I think there was a brief TDS just southwest of Paxton 

Low CCs but not quite enough for TDS

Stuff appears to be getting a bit more oomph. I wonder if the shear lessening is actually helping a bit 

Interesting around New Braintree
