ahhh yes...it was Holy Cross that recorded it.

90's and 00's definitely offered more widespread region-wide events. We just can't seem to do good squall lines anymore. The kind that develop right ahead of the cold front and then move across the entire region. That's what I miss most growing up in the 90's...but it always sucked to see lines completely fall apart around Hartford and then rejuvenate east of the River. While it was the 1995 derecho that got me interested in severe weather it was constantly watching squall lines fall apart which got me into wanting to study thunderstorms...it used to drive me nuts.

Yeah it's been pretty meh overall in terms of higher end events outside of the February 2016 (was it the 13th or 17th? I remember it was a Wednesday), 5/15/18, 8/27/20 there hasn't been much in the way of higher end setups or events.

Gusting to 104 mph for straightline winds is pretty wild and all the more wild the time it happened. I think even BDL gusted to around 70 mph. My sister called us screaming b/c she thought it was a tornado and not many (older) homes in Windsor Locks have basements. The mid-to-late 90's into the early 2000's were quite kind to us with higher-end svr.

Yeah it was. I remember watching TWC, local news, and even on the radio they were talking about tornado potential on Saturday.

I can't image us ever seeing a high risk again unless we had a classic derecho setup. That last week of May and first week of June was wild. June 2 had a pretty prolific tornado outbreak just to our southwest from Ohio/PA into the mid-Atlantic. I think there were over 50-60 tornado reports that day. Also...look at the size of that moderate...from NH southwest to KY

That was some weekend. Had severe weather that Friday with that front stalling to our south which lifted back north as a warm front that Sunday morning. That Sunday was wild...heck, the Red Sox crushed the Yankees too...I think they scored like 10 runs in the 3rd inning (actually almost kind of blew the game). But that late Sunday afternoon/evening...wow. I'm 99.999% sure I saw a funnel cloud, but it was dark out so can't confirm but my dad and I were looking out the window straight ahead and there was this super low cloud that was visible with the lightning.

The best Memorial Day weekend ever was 1998

No different then when December begins and we all look for and want snow threats even though December isn’t historically a “snowy month”.

Hopefully after Memorial Day we can start cooking up some severe threats

Evolved pretty much as imagined. Love when that happens.

Got these tickets before you came back Definitely going to be going again soon so I'll let you know

Haven’t seen rain this heavy in a while

Rain is quite torrential. Probably going ti be at least some poor drainage flooding around.

Taylor Swift is the GREATEST artist of all time…hands down. I would give anything to be able to sit front row at a concert.

Beautiful evening for baseball

Yeah PWATS pretty impressive for this time of year for sure

I'm a little surprised the interaction with the low tracking north and the front progressing east isn't resulting in a widespread blossoming of precipitation. This is almost like a winter phasing event in a way. The dynamics all around are pretty good with great ulvl divergence across the region. Only thing I'm thinking of is maybe some shortwave subsidence between the two systems? But I 100% agree with you're assessment on this. I'm also wondering if the degree of dynamics will result in either a westward shift of QPF axis or a wider QPF axis.

After tomorrow doesn't look like there is any chance for rain until perhaps next weekend. The drought monitor guru's going to have a field day this week.

Pretty impressive dynamics and forcing Saturday. May end up with a bit of a widespread soaking. Of course there will probably be a zone of far lesser totals but this is looking pretty decent.

Going to Yard Goats Friday night (would rather be going to game 4 for the Wolf Pack but they decided to get swept). Anyways should be some pretty nice baseball weather, be a bit on the cool side but looking forward to being outside for a game.

We're gradually transitioning to a desert climate. the Hadley Cell is playing packman and we're the little balls. Eventually our lush green environment will become poop brown.

Really wasn't that bad...actually felt a little refreshing outside this morning. Hell, even went with the ice'd coffee.

Wolf Pack season over…outshoot them 34-16 AND LOSE 3-1. Pathetic

I elected not to wear the hat but this wind…wowzers. But it feels warmer here then in Springfield but I’m also wearing a light jacket, sweatshirt, plus Pack jersey
