rain

Not bad…probably gusted 30-35 at the height. Not a ton of lightning but some good flashes

That was one of our target areas today too Started out in Oneonta and then have worked SW to Binghamton

Went to Binghamton. They got whacked with round 1 but think the boundary is much closer to here. Hopefully round 2 will perform too

Humidity too

Y’all should have just came to NY

I hope this batch coming in from Syracuse doesn’t a few things up. Don’t see it strengthening much either

Severe thunderstorm watch!!!!

Getting warmer and a bit more humid in Oneonta. That boundary is tickling our fannies

Hoping for an MCD soon

Made it to Oneonta!!! Drove though some pretty hefty downpours and saw some lightning with early stuff!!!

Chase day!!!

took this week off and half of next week for storm chasing.

ahhh still so torn on where to go tomorrow...south-central NY or like NE PA

I hurt my back around 2009. I was ice skating and racing my brother from one end of the rink to the other. For some stupid reason though I elected to hug the boards so when I got to the other end I was approaching the curve and when I did a hockey stop I twisted my body and hit the boards and my lower back popped a few times. That one winter in the early 2010's when we got destroyed did a number on my back too when I lived on a corner street and doing all the shoveling. But I really have to start some back strengthening exercises...that's a must. Now that I have a primary care physician he wants me to do this and if there is no improvement then he'll go for an MRI

It is a window unit. I just can't lift it myself and am a bit afraid with my back. Have to carry it up about 10 steps from the basement. I've thrown my back out about 4-5 times in the last 4 years. Last time I did it last year I was picking up a laundry basket full of stuff and holy crap that was the worst pain I ever had. Thought I was going to throw up...finally got to my bed to lay down and it took me 3-4 hours to get myself back up. Worst I had ever done it.

I hope a tornado comes and lifts the AC into the window

I wonder if there is some TOR potential with any cell that develops and becomes mature enough. This is 17z HRRR for CEF

HRRR continues to be very consistent with blowing up a cell right around Springfield near 6 PM!!!

Anyone live in the Springfield vicinity free right now to help with an AC installation (paid obviously)

wake me up when the TCU's start forming

western/central MA down into CT stands the best bet...basically right along where the back door sets up. The biggest challenge is breaking the cap which is in place thanks to the elevated mixed-layer overhead. Typically the lift associated with back door cold fronts isn't generally strong enough to produce deep convection, however, there is some pretty impressive shear associated with the front so there stands a chance we can pop a few cells. Any storms which do develop and can become deep will likely become severe.

Hoping to pop some storms later today. CAMs starting to get a bit more aggressive with this idea

Going to be a really interesting day Wednesday west of here...really trying to figure out where to set up to chase. Really leaning on going where the backdoor may set up around the HV. The shear Wednesday will be pretty crazy...instability should be decent and llvl lapse rates looks solid...which is huge for wind potential
