  1. That has been a product of weak fronts really. But overall, I don't think we've had many major severe weather events which have occurred to end heat waves or break high humidity. Sure there have been a few, but for the most part we're dealing with pretty poor lapse rates and weak shear during those stretches...or when strong fronts approach stronger shear is lacking behind the front. Setups like today or going to become more common moving forward. Anytime we have summers with above-average SST's and are surging dewpoints into the lower or mid 70's with strong troughs with great shear moving through these setups will be several times occurring.
  2. I went to school with the meteorologist on air there in the upper left. Good dude.
  3. That actually may have been the most impressive TDS of the few thus far, at least for a scan. Threw up gr lvl 2 and looked like maybe some debris being lofted a few thousand feet into the air?
  4. He'll still meh it because only one tree came down instead of 3
  5. looks like another TDS on RI/MA line southwest of North Attleborough.
  6. I think this one was legit. The TDS popped up just south of Scituate and propagated NE with the circulation
  7. 150 m2s2 of 0-1km helicity with 100+ J of 3km CAPE...that'll do it
  8. looks like maybe a little wind there too. Also not too bad just to your southeast probably
  9. There was a decent little circulation that passed over that area. Decent wind signature too around Putnam/Thompson.
  10. It's a week out but next Friday has quite the intriguing look.
  11. yeah I was going to say maybe lightning? There was actually a decent little wind (or rotational) signature that briefly went over Meriden but I didn't see any TDS with it
  12. Yeah pretty solid looking. Wish I was in Branford today, but if I was I'd probably have missed out on this by like 30 min Looks like the core of the winds though may be more towards Guilford/Madison
  13. Looks like some big winds just south of Branford over the Sound.
  14. Just read a bit on the 1858 San Diego hurricane (though not sure if technically a cane since no landfall) but I could picture Steve’s relatives getting on a cross country locomotive to catch the surf
  15. 3km (as usual) is much less mundane but does have something rolling through. I'm starting to become more inclined to believing that the 3km is very good. IT usually is much less impressive which often verifies and when it does show something good...definitely keep a watch.
  16. It certainly has had a tough go of it this summer and not just in our region. But convection is very difficult to model really, especially when you get the setups which had occurred in the Great Plains/Tennessee Valley/Southeast where you know MCSs will develop, but pinpointing exactly where/what time initial development will occur several-plus hours out is highly difficult. Anyways. we've been outside the HRRR's range but it has been pretty consistent thus far - again, doesn't mean too much because we had seen that before, but if this remains consistent with the 0z run and subsequent runs overnight...that would be a very positive sign. Need to keep in mind too that we do not need much solar heating in this type of setup.
