Models do show >100 J 3km CAPE WOR too later on but models also rapidly begin to diminish CAPE moving through the late afternoon. May not see any discrete cells but even a broken line of storms would need to be watched for rotation in the line breaks.

agreed

We do have decent dynamics aloft so that will help compensate some for the marine taint. Severe weather chances will certainly decrease south and east across SNE. I'm still a bit shocked at the 45% wind contour. Also that area of higher probs may even be a bit too far west. Higher potential may be Hudson Valley right into Berkshire/Litchfield/Fairfield County. Still not sold though on a widespread significant damaging wind event.

Woah SPC went 45% for wind in eastern PA? Not sure if this setup is one that really favors a widespread significant damaging wind event. Would like to see much steeper low-level lapse rates, stronger llvl flow, and much higher DCAPE values.

I'm a bit surprised by the ENH tomorrow. Instability will be limited due to poor mid-level lapse rates. Wind shear will certainly be strong - especially mid-level shear which will help with storm organization and updrafts to become organized, but I don't think llvl shear is overly impressive and we'll have to see how steep llvl lapse rates can get.

Eh it’s ok. I’m on vacation from May 26-June 7 so let all the fun happen then.

Sometimes these can be fun

A strong cold front is set to move across New England late Monday. Combination of surface temperatures into the upper 70's to lower 80's and dewpoints into the lower 60's will yield modest levels of instability (MLCAPE ~1000 J/KG) with poor lapse rates limiting further instability. Aloft, a strong shortwave trough rotates across the region resulting in ample wind shear with 700mb winds approaching 40 knots and 500mb winds approaching 60 knots. As the cold front encounters the warm and humid airmass, a line of rain and thunderstorms will likely form across NY/PA and propagate southeast into New England. Strong shear will help aid in convection organized. While instability will wane with southeastward extent due to marine flow, strong dynamics aloft may help compensate and allow for the line to continue progressing towards the coast, albeit weakening. Given modest CAPE and strong wind shear there will be localized threat for damaging wind gusts. By no means a BIG severe threat but something to be excited over, especially knowing the REAL stuff isn't far away.

I don't know if there would be meteorological data to back this up (it could certainly be proven/disproven easily but can't do it right now) but I wonder if we see our higher end heat events when the source region is more southern Plains as opposed to desert Southwest. I only wonder this b/c you would think based on trajectory it would be much easier to eject in here from the southern Plains as opposed to from the Southwest for a number of reasons and my guess is one reason would be you have a shorter distance to cross so less time for the airmass to be compromised?

The continued signal though for big heat in the South is pretty crazy...looks like another stretch of record heat across many areas. Could see high's 105-110 across parts of Texas and Oklahoma.

The potential is certainly there, especially if we see such a trough dig into the West like what is being advertised. But even if the signal gets muted a little bit we'd still be looking at some big heat given how anomalous the look is now

The challenge for next weekend is you have that vortex across eastern Canada and southern tip of Greenland with multiple pieces of energy rounding this. Depending on strength and proximity, this could keep much of our region in a northwesterly flow and halt the northward progression of the warm front. Maybe a scenario where NYC is 95-98 while we are in the 70's.

Some pretty big differences though between the GFS/Euro for next weekend. We could easily end up near/slightly below-average as we could well above-average with record daily heat possible.

Hope remains alive

Holy shit

Nothing like watching hockey outside

I’m always curious on that myself…especially with these higher magnitude numbers. I’d also be really curious to know how many times per event you see a hail size/wind gust near what’s projected

Now this is a severe thunderstorm watch. Hopefully we can muster up something similar in a few weeks

Severe threat possible Monday!!!

Didn't some kid actually pick him to win? Agreed there. I don't do much betting on DraftKings but when I do I usually go for long-ish hit stuff. I always bet $60 though haha and look for payouts that are $500+ but I don't do this very often. But there are certainly plenty of bets you can do which are low cost high reward if you look hard/close.

Someone in Iowa placed $1,000 on the Reds to win the NL Central the other day Payout would be $750,000

The best way to get rich quick is by going to DraftKings and placing $1,000 on some obscure insanely low probability.

Eh it really wasn’t bad. My girlfriend and a few others kept telling me I was dumb for doing 5 teeth at once and it was going to be brutal but it really wasn’t. The whole procedure only took 35-40 minutes and they had me on nitrous oxide. For take home they gave me oxycodone for if the pain was really intense. I only took 3. One Friday evening, Sunday, and then tonight b/c I ate a lot of chewy foods. I’ve been taking one 600mg ibuprofen each morning but I’d say the pain I’ve had was probably never more than a 2. And two amoxicillin to prevent infection. Just a bit uncomfortable at times with soreness. Ohhh good call on the anti-oxidant vitamins they mentioned that and I completely forgot. I can’t stand black coffee…I’m a cream and super sweet coffee person.

I’ve tried to do some of this before but it’s something I definitely should do…especially if there’s potential tornadoes involved. Thanks for the link! Will check it out now

I can’t wait to be able to have my morning coffee again and now that we’re getting into deep summer, ice’d coffee. I had five teeth extracted Friday and I guess I can’t drink with a straw (so no ice’d coffee. The best park of Dunkin ice’d coffee is drinking it from the straw) and I can’t have coffee because I guess it could increase risk of infection. not sure how long I have to wait but ughhh I miss it
