Yeah the only way we'd ever probably see one is with a full fledged derecho, but then again, how often do we ever see SPC go high risk for damaging winds alone? I can't even remember the last time there was a 60% hatched wind area by the SPC lol.
saw that popup on Radarscope...looks like very close to downtown maybe even the mall area? Wouldn't have wanted to be on that stretch of 84 when those cells were moving through. I'd be shocked if there isn't an accident on the highway there
I have to say...the little time I've started using the RRFS it doesn't seem any better. Not sure how accurate it is but it seems they struggle with convection in these very high PWAT/dewpoint airmasses.
That has a little wind core too.
If forcing was probably a bit more or we had a bit stronger of a llvl flow we'd probably be looking at multiple areas of concentrated wind damage.
Gotta love dews spiking well into the 70's.
Given how easy we seem to get dews like this now I wonder if we can ever time an EML/front with dews like this. I've always been skeptical of whether we would ever see a high risk within the Northeast again but that would probably do the trick.
This stuff could take off in CT (particularly south and east of Hartford) but the sfc winds are turning westerly quickly. But those dews in southern CT are pretty wild. Also have to watch between BDL/Enfield. Looks like we're starting to see an increase in vertical growth finally
Great insight...I was looking at KDP and noticed the core but didn't have the in-depth knowledge of what was ongoing. If this thing is able to get more vertical growth it could become quite nasty. It's also starting to bow out a bit. Not a ton of lightning yet (per Radarscope) so kind of watching to see if we get any increase.
I would be working outside today if not for the risk for storms too early in the afternoon. Outside with a laptop and electrical wires if a storm quickly popped up...not good.
For pretty weak llvl winds the clouds are moving along a bit...weird. Not sure quickly but definitely notable for what mesoanalysis is showing. Must be driven by increasing winds in the upper-lower troposphere and mid-levels. Probably help yield some transient supercell structures if we can get anything good to fire
Yup...most models really nailed that yesterday. Far southeast Mass and the Cape still have a shot to get crushed if activity can organize dropping southeast. 1200 J of DCAPE there per mesoanalysis...not too shabby.
