New SVR much of VT into central MA

Have to see how organized the cold pools can become. But I suspect we should see rapid weakening towards the coast there.

Same thing that happened back in December, except this time was more severe. We were outside for 2 seconds last Wednesday about to play and he gets all excited and jumps on his hind legs and twists. When he did that he screamed in pain...absolutely screamed and had zero movement of his back legs. He scooted around the yard on his butt. He kept trying to stand up but kept flopping over. I was home alone and my girlfriend was over an hour away. So a friend came to help me carry him into the car and I brought him to the emergency vet. MRI revealed he had a second stroke in his spine (happened back in December), except this impacted both sides and why he lost all feeling and control of his back legs. They say he will make a full recovery, however, they aren't sure what caused it the first time or this time. There was nothing evident in his blood test, however, they did another blood test Friday but have not gotten the results back (so guessing they are doing something more substantial. He's slowly been getting some feeling in his back legs, but still no movement of the legs.

yup...and even more north of me. Have to drive to Middletown, CT later to visit the dog in the hospital and give it another go of practice with performing bladder expressions.

Already enjoying the outdoors. I do have an exquisite weekend dew story. Thursday I went to Costco's (which was a total disaster. Had $400 worth of stuff and I didn't realize (or forgot) they ONLY ACCEPT VISTA). Anyways, I wore jeans, it was another soaking experience. I went to a different Costco's Friday (with my Vista) and it was another beautiful, soaking experience. Saturday was my gf 30th birthday and we had a party. Sat outside all day, just drenched in sweat. Clothes and everything soaked. Sunday was my nieces gender reveal and it was another soaking, dripping experience. There is nothing better than being totally wet in the summer then taking a nice warm shower and feeling refreshed. But the feeling of sensation when it is above 90, dewpoints above 70, and the Sun beating down on you is unmatched pleasure in the romantic sense and the tingles generated by each drop of sweat as it slowly trickles down every ounce of your body is indescribable. Thinking of doing an OnlyFans, dewpoint sensations and romantic pleasure, next year if anyone wants to subscribe.

12z NAM is violence up north today. Phil going to be busy later on

I want some 70 dews into late September/October when we get out Fall shortwaves.

until August 16

Is this the second time within a year MDW reported a tornado?

Should be convectively active too.

I was 6 at the time. I remember that morning, though it was some years before I could correlate it with the label of the event. I woke up around 6 or 6:30 that morning and wasn't feeling well so I went out to the living room to turn on The Weather Channel. I had the station on for I have no clue how long and there was no weather. My mom then woke up and I asked her...I guess it turned out they had changed the TV station line up that morning or maybe the night before. Anyways, as soon as she finds TWC, first thing I see is them showing the radar and this massive line moving across western Mass. I am also presenting on this at the TriState Weather Conference at WestConn in September!

That’s why I didn’t go outside to take pics of the storm to my northwest. RadarScope was throwing out CGs outside of the storm.

Not sure if there is some sort of convective feedback going on wrt the shortwave but the 18z NAM would be quite interesting tomorrow evening

Areas with more rainfall may certainly see a local boost in the dewpoints. This may become more noticeable during the peak heating cycle when mixing is strongest and dewpoints may mix. But if you have that extra available moisture source, that can help keeps dews up...though I would suspect probably not a heck of a lot more. Lots of other influences as well to consider, terrain, wind direction, theta-e ridging/pooling, if present, etc.

that area is always getting smoked. what a spot.

Belchertown looks like its getting hit good. At least the eastern part

oh wait...I totally misread your post you're talking about the SE NY storms

Was going to go outside and take a picture of the sky but with all these bolts from the blue I’m afraid a strike will get me in the Fanny

Not so sure these things will have much deviant motion. They're probably going to train along the boundary and may shift some with the boundary but these should be more pulse like.

This thing must be ripping CGs

Thought I heard thunder. Checked the radar and storms just to my north and west. Go outside and look northwest and sky is totally dark. Every other direction barely a cloud in the sky

This site has a slew of different products you can create graphs for. I wish it was a little more user friendly but its top notch https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?q=76

Yup...this is where I really wish we had steeper lapse rates present. Ultimately, the better ingredients happen during the evening and overnight. Obviously we lose peak instability during this period, but if we had steep lapse rates we would maintain alot of the CAPE. But that is a pretty decent shortwave. Wish it was coming through during peak heating.

Kind of sucks the next few days in the convective department because the best forcing/dynamics are displaced from the best llvl moisture and instability. Looks like the better dynamics and forcing remain behind the cold front. Despite this, Wednesday may be the most widespread day for showers and thunderstorms and we'll see some localized stronger storms. Will see some flash flooding potential Wednesday as there may be multiple rounds.

Going to be tough timing everything out. Wednesday may be a bit of a disconnect between the greatest dynamics/forcing and instability. Monday - Wednesday though should be active in the shower/thunderstorm department. Subtle shortwaves traversing through and pre-frontal troughs should be mechanisms to get things going. The greatest overall severe potential may be across NY/PA but we'll have to see. If we had more of an EML Wednesday, we would be talking about overnight severe threat here.
