Very impressive area of -SSTA's in the northern Atlantic there. Definitely knocking the AMO down a bit. Likely a product of the persistent vortex in that area and countless systems tracking along it but that is certainly playing an influence on our weather too IMO...especially with the enhancement of any BD potential

I read it as through now not moving forward...but to your point, yes moving forward that signal does dampen out quite a bit. And also to your point about the decreasing seasonal lag is we don't always need a massive ridge at H5 to get big heat into here. If we get a very strong sfc high across the Southeast or just off the Southeast Coast that can certainly pump in big heat (and humidity) all while maintaining a more northwesterly flow aloft(indicative of a subtle trough or downwind of a ridge crest)...and this is how we get our higher end severe events (ala summer 1995).

I think there is some degree of accuracy with a blocky Arctic. I know this time of year Arctic Oscillations typically don't correlate well to the pattern as their signals weaken, however, if you look at 500mb height anomalies for the first week of the month there is some argument for an Arctic-driven pattern. The ultimate issue though has been that pesky vortex to our northeast (which has seem to become a fixture the past several years during the late spring to about late June) which I guess brings about...is the Arctic driving this fixture?

May have to watch northeastern MA for some development later this afternoon if enough mid-level moisture can hang around.

Keep an eye out in far SE CT, RI, and SE MA

Parts of RI and SE MA could get hit fairly good with that line south of Long Island. Wouldn't be surprised to see some localized areas of wind damage.

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.
