glad a good chunk so far is going to my northwest. skill basking in sun here. watching the southern edge of that stuff..that is going to swing through here later. I'm only going to have to go up the road to a parking lot.
-
56 mph wind gusts south of Pittsfield when that stuff came through
-
Cannan is solid for views...I think they are likely mostly farm land? It smells of poop
-
Probably Great Barrington...only issue is I don't think there are a ton of good viewing spots...I've gone there a few times before but they are a magnet for big storms
-
That has to be dropping close to quarters over Windsor
-
Nice hook on that cell now east of Pittsfield
-
I wish dews were even 4-5F higher in the Hartford-Springfield corridor. That cluster in southeast New York would be prime to take off. We are also increasing mlvl winds and ulvl divergence so that will compensate a bit.
-
probably also a ton of tree buds flying around. Trees going to look like winter again when all said and done
-
interesting...looks to be going in different directions too...was right to left across the camera then left to right...but could just be the storm rolling through with a Wind shift
-
That may be a product of 1) As its moving away from the Albany radar the entire storm is being sampled better 2) It's in the process of strengthening but it doesn't look like the reds/greens are rotating around...look to be more divergent like. But it is moving into some better llvl shear so do have to watch
-
I think that is more straight line versus rotation
-
that's a pretty good divergent wind signal there
-
Yeah thunderstorms here definitely don't have the lighting production they do out in the Plains or even Southwest when they get them. That's certainly a product of warm mlvls.
-
we'll see what happens a bit East...storms went up in a weaker instability encirovnment
-
ahh...well must have felt good!
-
That low area of CC is moving along with that core and where there is weak rotation
-
You may have to just cover for someone on a day we have a risk so you can do it
-
Nice hail core west of Kinderhook. 70dbz to over 10k on Albany radar...unfortunately storm probably not being sampled fully either. Actually is that a TDS too??
-
Just got the watch notification!!! This is why May 1st is called the start of severe weather season. So anyone who weenied that before take your weenie back
-
that little cluster headed for Pittsfield is going to be a good wind producer
-
The llvl flow is backed enough to where there could be a tornado is any cell remains discrete and can become mature enough. Dews are a bit low so LCL's are sky high so that will probably hinder this a bit but its something to watch for
-
They do in the desert
-
Should be, we're maximizing heating which is always critical when dealing with lower dews/marginal lapse rates. llvl lapse rates are quite steep from the heating and even 2-6km lapse rates getting at/above 7 C/KM...good indicator there should be some localized damaging wind gusts today.
-
have to start small
-
Been a decent start locally in the thunderstorm department. Had a nice one the other night around 3:00 AM and then there was one a few weeks back like 10-11 PM which had good thunder/lightning. Would like to see some branches come down with some hail today though
