Thus far all convection is behaving. Not even seeing any weak areas of rotation. There was a brief TDS in NJ a bit after 5:00 AM but everything here looks good. Seeing a stronger push of 0-3km CAPE but storm motions seem more parallel to the flow which is likely limiting rotation.

0z HRRR pretty robust with a few nasty looking thunderstorms moving across CT during the morning. We’ll see if we can muster up enough llvl CAPE

Was that the same conference we got kicked out of the bar for the bottle cap incident (which was a total mistake)?

Yeah could be interesting.

It's a shame we get the dry slot in the mid-levels and subsidence on the backside of the morning stuff. Maybe though some embedded strong storms with the morning stuff right along the nose of higher CAPE/shear?

Is it so much to ask to get a light show like this

Second video down shows some type of lowering on the bottom left. Hard to tell b/c it's dark but maybe a wall cloud

Just non-stop! Hope we can get this here soon. THIS SUMMER BLOWSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I believe in Samsquanch

It's highlighted red on radarscope

6-radar sites down across the country; including ENX and GYX. Maybe it's some time of flaying saucers and the aliens are coming to take down our meteorological network in time for a category 5 hurricane to ride up the East Coast in a month

Maybe Big Foot got sophisticated and got an aircraft

Hmm I found a hole with two bird feathers in it

hmm just looking at that radar loop. Rather intriguing. Looking at CC the values appear to be insanely low so it's certainly non-meteorological phenomena. It was a pretty uniform formation and propagation too...maybe a series of military planes?

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Maybe there's a killer cat prowling around.

Looks like the line with the cold front goes through Providence around 6 AM. May head to Providence around 3 AM and hopefully there will be some decent lightning in the line as it nears Providence by then but idk. Elevated CAPE doesn't look terrible and HREF thunderstorm probs are pretty decent.

They are regular sparrows. Don't think it's cats. Don't see any cats roaming around. One thought is there is a nest which isn't terribly high up off the ground (7-8 feet at most) and some animal is getting into the nest. But the dead birds for the most part have been well away from the nest.

We've been finding them not close to any windows. Animal Control mentioned the Avian flu...they also mentioned it's possible someone could be poisoning them. They directed me to Department of Agriculture so I left a message to call back. I guess depending on what we explain to them they may decide to send someone out and test the bird.

yeah the missing head part is very puzzling. Wondering if some animal is getting them after they're dead?

Has anyone been noticing dead birds in their yards recently? I know there was the issue last year with birds, but I just found another dead bird in my girlfriend's yard and this is the 6th or 7th dead bird over the past 6 weeks. They have been a mixture of babies and non-babies and some have even been missing heads. Not sure if some animal is getting them or not but it's a bit concerning. My girlfriend said she noticed 3 last year too. She does have a dog but we know it's not the dog b/c we watch him outside. I just called animal control and left a message.

No that's gasoline

Lightning is made for nighttime.

Thinking of going to Providence at like 4-5 AM and hoping to get some good lightning with the convection

Yikes...if convection can develop Thursday PM in the Hudson Valley there is potential for some supercells. Pretty rich surge of llvl theta-e and quite a bit of low-level wind shear.
